                                    PART I


ITEM 1.--DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


GENERAL


     Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. ("Admiralty" or the "Company") is a one bank
holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware and a registered bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"BHCA"). The Company is a holding company for Admiralty Bank, a Florida state
chartered commercial bank and member of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Bank"). The Bank operates through its main office located in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida and three branch offices located in Juno Beach, Boca Raton and
Jupiter, Florida.


     The Bank's deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The
operations of the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the
Federal Reserve Bank and the Florida Department of Banking (the "Department").
The principal executive offices of the Bank are located at 4400 PGA Boulevard,
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410 and the telephone number is (561) 624-4701.


BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY


     The Company conducts a traditional commercial banking business and offers
services including personal and business checking accounts and time deposits,
money market accounts and regular savings accounts. The Company structures its
specific services and charges in a manner designed to attract the business of
(i) small and medium-sized businesses, and the owners and managers of these
entities; (ii) professionals and middle managers of locally-based corporations;
and (iii) individuals residing, working and shopping in the Palm Beach and
Broward Counties, Florida trade area serviced by the Company. The Company
engages in a wide range of lending activities and offers commercial, consumer,
residential and non-residential mortgage and construction loans.


SERVICE AREA


     The Company's service area primarily consists of Palm Beach and Broward
Counties, Florida, although the Company makes loans throughout Florida. The
Company operates through its main office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and
branch offices in Juno Beach, Boca Raton and Jupiter, Florida.


COMPETITION


     The Company operates in a highly competitive environment competing for
deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrifts and other financial
institutions, many of which have greater financial resources than the Company.
Many large financial institutions compete for business in the Company's service
area. Certain of these institutions have significantly higher lending limits
than the Company and provide services to their customers which the Company does
not offer.


     Management believes the Company is able to compete favorably with its
competitors because it provides responsive personalized services through
management's knowledge and awareness of the Company's service area, customers
and business.


EMPLOYEES


     At December 31, 1998, the Company employed 42 full-time employees and 5
part-time employees. None of these employees is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement and the Company believes that its employee relations are
good.

                          SUPERVISION AND REGULATION


     Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both
federal and state law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect
depositors, not stockholders. To the extent that the following information
describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change
in the applicable law or Regulation may have a material effect on the business
and prospects of the Company and the Bank.


BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION


     As a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, the Company is
subject to the regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("FRB"). The Company is required to file with the FRB
annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and
those of its subsidiaries. Under the BHCA, Admiralty's activities and those of
its subsidiaries are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks,
furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries or engaging
in any other activity which the FRB determines to be so closely related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto.


     The BHCA requires, among other things, the prior approval of the FRB in
any case where a bank holding company proposes to (i) acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of any other bank, (ii) acquire direct or
indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock
of any bank (unless it owns a majority of such Company's voting shares) or
(iii) merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. The FRB will
not approve any acquisition, merger, or consolidation that would have a
substantially anti-competitive effect, unless the anti-competitive impact of
the proposed transaction is clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in
meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The FRB also
considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial resources and
future prospects of the companies and the banks concerned, together with the
convenience and needs of the community to be served, when reviewing
acquisitions or mergers.


     Additionally, the BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain
limited exceptions, from (i) acquiring or retaining direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any
company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or (ii) engaging directly
or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or
controlling banks, or performing services for its subsidiaries, unless such
non-banking business is determined by the FRB to be so closely related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto. In
making such determinations, the FRB is required to weigh the expected benefits
to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in
efficiency, against the possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration
of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or
unsound banking practices.


     There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding
companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by law and regulatory
policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such
depository institutions and the FDIC insurance funds in the event the
depository institution becomes in danger of default. Under a policy of the FRB
with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is
required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary
depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in
circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. The FRB also has the
authority under the BHCA to require a bank holding company to terminate any
activity or to relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary upon the FRB's
determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the
financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding
company.


     CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES FOR BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. In January 1989,
the FRB adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The
risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among


                                       3
<PAGE>

banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure,
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under these
guidelines, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk
categories each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios
represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance
sheet items.


     The risk-based guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding
companies with consolidated assets of $150 million or more. For bank holding
companies with less than $150 million in consolidated assets, the guidelines
will be applied on a bank-only basis unless: (a) the parent bank holding
company is engaged in nonbank activity involving significant leverage; or (b)
the parent company has a significant amount of outstanding debt that is held by
the general public.


     The minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including
certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%.
At least 4% of the total capital is required to be "Tier I Capital," consisting
of common stockholders' equity and qualifying preferred stock, less certain
goodwill items and other intangible assets. The remainder ("Tier II Capital")
may consist of (a) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets, (b) non-qualifying preferred stock, (c) hybrid capital
instruments, (d) perpetual debt, (e) mandatory convertible securities, and (f)
qualifying subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock up to 50% of
Tier I capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital less
reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations' capital instruments,
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and any other deductions as
determined by the FRB (determined on a case by case basis or as a matter of
policy after formal rule-making).


     Bank holding company assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and
100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given similar credit
conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an
appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations result in the total
risk-weighted assets. Most loans are assigned to the 100% risk category, except
for performing first mortgage loans fully secured by residential property which
carry a 50% risk-weighting and loans secured by deposits in the Bank which
carry a 20% risking weighting. Most investment securities (including,
primarily, general obligation claims of states or other political subdivisions
of the United States) are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or
state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of
the U.S. Treasury or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government, which have a 0% risk-weight. In converting off-balance sheet
items, direct credit substitutes including general guarantees and standby
letters of credit backing financial obligations are given a 100%
risk-weighting. Transaction related contingencies such as bid bonds, standby
letters of credit backing nonfinancial obligations, and undrawn commitments
(including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more than one
year) have a 50% risk-weighting. Short term commercial letters of credit have a
20% risk-weighting and certain short-term unconditionally cancelable
commitments have a 0% risk-weighting.


     In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB has adopted a
minimum Tier I capital (leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company
must maintain a minimum level of Tier I capital to average total consolidated
assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company that has the
highest regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating significant
growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain
a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum.


BANK REGULATION


     As a Florida chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the
regulation, supervision, and control of the Department. As a member of the
Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and
control of the FRB. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is subject to
regulation, supervision and control of the FDIC, an agency of the federal
government. The regulations of the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Department
impact virtually all activities of the Bank,


                                       4
<PAGE>

including the minimum level of capital the Bank must maintain, the ability of
the Bank to pay dividends, the ability of the Bank to expand through new
branches or acquisitions and various other matters.


     INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to
applicable limits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. Accordingly,
the Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the BIF. Under
the FDIC's insurance premium assessment system, each institution is assigned to
one of nine assessment risk classifications based on its capital ratios and
supervisory evaluations. The lowest risk institutions do not pay any insurance
premium, while the highest risk institutions pay a premium assessed at the rate
of .27% of domestic deposits. Each institution's classification under the
system is re-examined semiannually. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to
increase or decrease such rates on a semiannual basis. In addition to insurance
premium assessments, under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the
"Deposit Act"), commercial banks like the Bank are required for the first time
to pay a portion of the interest and principal owed on bonds issued by the
Federal Financing Corporation ("FICO") to assist the thrift bailout in the mid-
1980's. BIF insured commercial banks like the Bank are assessed 1.3 basis
points of their assessed deposits in satisfaction of this FICO payment, in
addition to deposit insurance premiums. The Deposit Act also calls for the
federal banking agencies to study the various financial institution charters
and propose a single standard federal charter, thereby doing away with the
separate bank and thrift charters. Management of the Company is not able to
predict at this time whether the federal regulators will adopt a unified
charter nor to predict the impact of any proposed change upon the Bank.


     DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Pursuant to the provisions of the Florida Banking Code, a
Florida state chartered bank may quarterly, semi-annually or annually declare a
dividend out of the Company's net profits for the dividend period and retained
net profits from the preceding two years. In addition, with the approval of the
Florida Department of Banking and Finance, a bank may declare a dividend from
retained profits which have accrued in periods prior to the preceding two
years, provided that in this circumstance the bank must make an addition to its
surplus fund equal to at least 20% of its net profits from the preceding
period. No Florida state chartered bank may declare a dividend if it has
incurred a loss for its current period plus the two preceding years, or which
would cause the capital account of the bank to fall below the minimum amount
required by law or regulation.


ITEM 2.--DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


     The Bank leases its main office in Palm Beach Gardens and its branch
offices in Juno Beach, Jupiter and Boca Raton, Florida. In addition, the Bank

would have a material effect on the business or financial position of the
Company.

ITEM 6A.--SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA


     The current management team and board of directors of the Company acquired
the Company on January 22, 1998 (the "Change In Control"). Prior to the Change
In Control and the Company's public offering in the fall of 1998, the Company
was a privately held institution (the "Predecessor Company"). The Company's
historic financial statements included in this filing for the 12-months ended
December 31, 1998 do not include the first 21-days of operations of the Bank in
January of 1998, prior to the Change In Control. To ensure comparability with
prior year periods, the income statement data discussed in the Management
Discussion and Analysis section hereof are based upon pro forma data for the
Company after the Change In Control and the Predecessor Company during 1998
prior to the Change In Control. To assist in the review of the following
management discussion and analysis, the Company is presenting the following
selected information regarding the Company and the Predecessor Company, which
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements, including the notes thereto, and the Management's Discussion and
Analysis section hereof. This selected financial data and other data for the
12-months ended December 31, 1998 were prepared from the historical and pro
forma data of the Company.

ITEM 6.--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The current management team and board of directors of the Company acquired
the Company in connection with the Change In Control. The Company's historic
financial statements included in this filing for the twelve (12) months ended
December 31, 1998 do not include the first 21-days of operations in January of
1998, prior to the Change In Control. However, to ensure comparability with
prior year periods, the income statement data discussed for the twelve months
ended December 31, 1998 are based upon pro forma data for the Company after the
Change In Control and the Predecessor Company during 1998 prior to the Change
In Control. All data for 1997 are from the Predecessor Company.


     Subsequent to year end December 31, 1998, the Company determined that, in
light of its capital structure, consisting of both Class A and Class B Common
Stock, the more appropriate presentation of basic earnings per share should be
the "two class" method of computing earnings per share. The "if converted"
method should be used for earnings per share, if dilutive. The earnings per
share figures disclosed herein reflect this application of calculating earnings
per share, which was not applied in previous filings.


     For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred a pro forma net
loss of $444,000 or $1.68 per share of Class B Stock, a decrease from earnings
of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. This loss reflects the
costs of the Company's expansion, as the Company hired a new management team,
relocated its Jupiter office to larger quarters and opened its fourth office in
Boca Raton. The Company has incurred the expenses for these investments prior
to recognition of income from the assets developed through these investments.


     At December 31, 1998, the Company's total assets reached $80.7 million, an
increase of 67.5% over total assets at December 31, 1997, the Company's net
loans totaled $46.8 million, an increase of 104.8% over net loans at December
31, 1997 and the Company's deposits totaled $60.7 million, an increase of 41.9%
over total deposits at December 31, 1997.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on its
interest-earning assets and fees earned servicing loans which the Company has
sold and the interest paid on funds borrowed to support those assets, such as
deposits. In addition, the Company earns commission income in connection with
sales of the guaranteed portion of loans originated under the SBA loan program.
Net interest margin is a function of the difference between the weighted
average rate received on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the average level of interest-
bearing assets as compared with that of interest-bearing liabilities. Net
income is also affected by the amount of non-interest income and operating
expenses.


                                  NET INCOME


     For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred a pro forma net
loss of $444,000, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 135.1%, from net income of
$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The period to period
decrease in reported net income is attributable to the increases in the
Company's non-interest expenses as the Company incurred costs to enhance the
value of its franchise and reductions in the gain on sales of securities and
sales of loans from those recognized in 1997.


     During the year ended December 31, 1998, interest income increased to $4.2
million from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, an increase of
17.1%. This increase reflects an increase


                                       9
<PAGE>

in the average balance of interest earning assets of $8.6 million, or 21.0%, as
the Company began to deploy the proceeds of its public offering during the
fourth quarter of 1998. The increases in the average balance of interest
earning assets were partially offset by a decline in yield on interest earnings
assets. For the 12-months ended December 31, 1998, the Company's yield on its
average interest earning assets declined to 8.56% from 8.85% for the 12-months
ended December 31, 1997. This decline in yield reflects decreases in current
market rates of interest, which had a significant impact on the Company as a
large percentage of the Company's interest-earning assets were either
originated or repriced during 1998.


     The Company's interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998
remained relatively stable at $1.2 million despite an increase of $5.4 million
in the average balance of liabilities outstanding. Factors affecting the level
of the Company's interest expense include a reduction of 34 basis points in the
average yield on interest bearing liabilities to 3.59% in 1998 from 3.93% for
the year ended December 31, 1997, as well as an increase of $3.4 million in the
average balance of non-interest bearing liabilities. These changes reflect both
a decrease in market rates of interests and the Company's strategy to build
non-interest bearing demand deposits through enhanced relationships with
commercial customers and a shift away from more expensive time deposits.

                      COMPARATIVE AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS


     The following table reflects the components of the Company's net interest
income, setting forth for the periods presented herein, (1) average assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity, (2) interest income earned on
interest-earning assets and interest expenses paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) the Company's net interest
spread (i.e., the average yield on interest-earnings assets less the average
rate on interest-bearing liabilities) and (5) the Company's net yield on
interest-earning assets. Rates are computed on a tax equivalent basis.

(1) Financial information for the year ended December 31, 1998 is based upon
    the Pro Forma Consolidated Income Statement for that time period.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES


     For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recognized a provision
for loan losses of $385,000, a decline of $50,000, or 11.5%, over the provision
of $435,000 recognized for 1997. During 1997, the Bank was subject to a cease
and desist order with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Department
(the "C&D"). Among other things, the C&D required a certain allowance for loan
losses and quarterly provisions to maintain the allowance. The C&D was lifted
in the first quarter of 1998, and the Company established a provision based
upon management's view of the risks inherent in the Company's loan portfolio.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSES


     Total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998, was $3.9
million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 49.9%, over non-interest expense
recognized in 1997. The increase in non-interest expense in 1998 reflects
investments made by the Company in enhancing its franchise. During 1998, the
Company hired a new senior management team, including Ward Kellogg, the
Company's new president, and his team of community bankers. In addition, the
Company incurred an increase in occupancy expense as the Company opened its
fourth office in Boca Raton, Florida and relocated its Jupiter office to
larger, more modern quarters. In addition, in 1998, the Company recognized
expense through the amortization of goodwill created in the Change in Control.
Goodwill amortization totaled $147,000 in 1998. The Company believes that it
will continue to experience the higher level of non-interest expense incurred
in 1998 in future periods, and that non-interest expense may continue to
increase somewhat as the Company continues to expand.


NON-INTEREST INCOME


     Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $773,000,
a reduction of $955,000, or 55.3%, from total non-interest income of $1.7
million recognized for 1997. This reduction


                                       12
<PAGE>

in non-interest income is primarily attributable to reductions in gains on
sales of securities and loans. During 1997, the Company recognized $87,000 in
net gain on the sale of securities, while the Company recognized a net loss of
$39,000 on the sale of securities during 1998. In addition, the Company
recognized a net gain on the sale of loans of $975,000 during 1997 compared to
a net gain on the sale of loans of $164,000 in 1998.


INCOME TAX EXPENSES


     For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded no income tax
expense due to its net operating losses for the year, as compared to a tax
benefit of $288,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The 1997 benefit was
a result of the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss
carry-forwards to offset its taxable income and its recording of certain net
deferred tax assets believed to be realizable in future years.


     At December 31, 1998, the Bank had unused net operating loss
carry-forwards of approximately $1.3 million for Federal and Florida Income Tax
purposes expiring through 2018. These loss carry-forwards reflect the maximum
benefit that can be obtained from the net operating losses due to limitation
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.



                              FINANCIAL CONDITION


     At December 31, 1998, the Company's total assets were $80.7 million,
compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 1997. Total loans, net increased to
$46.8 million at December 31, 1998 from $22.9 million at December 31, 1997.
Total deposits were $60.7 million at December 31, 1998 compared to $42.8
million at December 31, 1997.


LOAN PORTFOLIO


     At December 31, 1998, the Company's total loans were $47.4 million, an
increase of $24.2 million over total loans of $23.2 million at December 31,
1997. The increase in loans was primarily in loans secured by real estate and
commercial loans, and reflects the Company's continued efforts to achieve
greater penetration in its market areas and new customer activity following the
Change in Control in January, 1998, the efforts of the Company's new management
team and deployment of the capital raised by the Company in its initial public
offering in September, 1998.


     The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by real
estate, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans. Real estate
loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and
loans for the construction of commercial or residential property. Consumer
loans are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods,
home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the
personal property being purchased.


     The Company's loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in
Palm Beach and Broward Counties, Florida. The Company has not made loans to
borrowers outside of the United States. Commercial lending activities are
focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers. The Company believes
that its strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures and
selective marketing have enabled the Company to gain market entry to local
loans. Bank mergers by larger banks competing with the Company have also
contributed to the Company's efforts to attract borrowers.

ASSET QUALITY


     The Company's principal earning assets are its loans. Inherent in the
lending function is the risk of the borrower's inability to repay their loan
under its existing terms. Risk elements include non-accrual loans, past due and
restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations and other real
estate.


     Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest
(non-accrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a
period of 90 days or more. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest
accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable
to prior years, is reversed and charged against current income. Until the loan
becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to
outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the
financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such
payments as interest.


     The Company attempts to minimize overall credit risk through loan
diversification and its loan approval procedures. The Company's due diligence
begins at the time a borrower and the Company begin to discuss the origination
of a loan. Documentation, including a borrower's credit history, materials
establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of
the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors
are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also
subject to periodic review.


     During December 31, 1998, the Company's non-accrual loans increased by
$13,000 to $109,000 at December 31, 1998 from $96,000 at December 31, 1997.
This balance represents one loan placed in non-accrual status during December
1998. This loan is subject to a workout agreement, and management believes that
the loan is adequately secured and does not anticipate that the Company will
incur a material loss on this credit.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES


     The Company attempts to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a
sufficient level to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Loan
losses are charged directly to the allowance when they occur and any recovery
is credited to the allowance. Risks within the loan portfolio are analyzed on a
continuous basis by the Company's officers, by outside, independent loan review
auditors and by the Company's Directors Loan Committee. A risk system,
consisting of multiple grading categories, is utilized as an analytical tool to
assess risk and appropriate reserves. Along with the risk system, management
further evaluates risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current and
anticipated economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial
condition of the borrower, past and expected loss experience, and other factors
management feels deserve recognition in establishing an appropriate reserve.
These estimates are reviewed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become
necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.
Additions to the allowance are made by provisions charged to expense and the
allowance is reduced by net charge-offs ( i.e., loans judged to be
uncollectible and charged against the reserve, less any recoveries on such
loans). Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level
deemed adequate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon
changes in market conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. These agencies may
require the Company to take additional provisions based on their judgments
about information available to them at the time of their examination.


     The Company's allowance for possible loan losses totaled $602,000 and
$378,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES


     The Company maintains an investment portfolio to fund increased loan
demand or decreased deposits and other liquidity needs and to provide an
additional source of interest income. The portfolio is composed primarily of
U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of U.S. Government agencies and
government sponsored entities, including collateralized mortgage obligations
issued by such agencies and entities, and to a lesser extent collateralized
mortgage obligations issued by non-public entities. The Bank also owns shares
in the Bankers' Bancorporation of Florida,

                                       16
<PAGE>

Inc.. As a Federal Reserve Member Bank, the Bank also holds stock in the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta, the Bank also owns Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. For purposes of
the following discussion, the Company does not consider the Federal Reserve
Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock to be investment securities.


     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," (SFAS 115),
effective January 1, 1994. Under SFAS 115, securities are classified as
securities held to maturity based on management's intent and the Company's
ability to hold them to maturity. Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted
for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts. Securities that are bought and
held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are
classified as trading securities, which are carried at market value. Realized
gains and losses and gains and losses from marking the portfolio to market
value are included in trading revenue. Securities not classified as securities
held to maturity or trading securities are classified as securities available
for sale, and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on
securities available for sale are excluded from results of operations, and are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of taxes.
Securities classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold
in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, the need
to increase regulatory capital or other similar requirement.


     Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the
time of purchase. At December 31, 1998, the Company's entire investment
securities portfolio of $9.4 million was classified as available for sale.


     Investment securities at December 31, 1998 represent a decrease of $10.8
million, or 53.5%, over total investment securities of $20.2 million at
December 31, 1997. This decrease in investment securities represents proceeds
of maturing and called securities being invested in new loan originations. In
addition, as part of the Company's restructuring of its securities portfolio,
the Company sold $2.9 million of investment securities in early 1998 and
incurred a net loss of $39 thousand.


     At December 31, 1997, the majority of the Company's investment securities
were held to maturity. Pursuant to the Change In Control, and as part of the
purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with the transaction,
securities were reclassified as available for sale.

DEPOSITS


     Deposits are the Company's primary source of funds. During 1998, the
Company's deposits increased by $17.9 million, or 41.9%, to $60.7 million at
December 31, 1998 from $42.8 million at December 31, 1997. During 1998, the
Company's deposit portfolio shifted away from higher priced time deposits and
toward non-interest bearing demand deposits. This shift reflected the Company's
increased emphasis on business accounts. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, demand
deposits represented 33.2% and 27.3%, respectively, of total deposits and time
deposits represented 31.9% and 37.8%, respectively of total deposits. The
Company's cost of funds for 1998 was 2.56%, compared to 2.95% for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT


     Interest rate risk management involves managing the extent to which
interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities are matched.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and
earnings volatility due to the repricing characteristics of assets and
liabilities. The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the
level of market interest rates. In order to maintain consistent earnings
performance, the Company seeks to manage, to the extent possible, the repricing
characteristics of its assets and liabilities.


     The ratio between assets and liabilities repricing in specific time
intervals is referred to as an interest rate sensitivity gap. Interest rate
sensitivity gaps can be managed to take advantage of the slope of the yield
curve as well as forecasted changes in the level of interest rate changes.


     One major objective of the Company when managing the rate sensitivity of
its assets and liabilities is to stabilize net interest income. The management
of and authority to assume interest rate risk is the responsibility of the
Company's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which is comprised of senior
management and Board members. The process to review interest rate risk
management is a regular part of management of the Company. Consistent policies
and practices of measuring and reporting interest rate risk exposure,
particularly regarding the treatment of non-contractual assets and


                                       19
<PAGE>

liabilities, are in effect. In addition, there is an annual process to review
the interest rate risk policy with the Board of Directors which includes limits
on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates.


     To manage the interest sensitivity position, an asset/liability model
called "gap analysis" is used to monitor the difference in the volume of the
Company's interest sensitive assets and liabilities that mature or reprice
within given periods. A positive gap (asset sensitive) indicates that more
assets reprice during a given period compared to liabilities, while a negative
gap (liability sensitive) has the opposite effect. The Company employs
computerized interest income simulation modeling to assist in quantifying
interest rate risk exposure. This process measures and quantifies the impact on
net interest income through varying interest rate changes and balance sheet
compositions. The use of this model assists the ALCO to gauge the effects of
the interest rate changes on interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order
to determine what impact these rates changes will have upon the net interest
spread.


     At December, 1998, the Company maintained a one year positive cumulative
gap of $13.9 million or 17.2% of total assets.

LIQUIDITY


     The Company's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans,
withdrawals or maturities of deposits and other cash outflows in a
cost-effective manner. The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits,
scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, sales and maturities
of investment securities and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan
payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.


     Through the Company's investment portfolio the Company has generally
sought to obtain a safe yet slightly higher yield than would have been
available to the Company as a net seller of overnight Federal Funds while still
maintaining liquidity. Through its investment portfolio, the Company also
attempts to manage its maturity gap by seeking maturities of investments which
coincide as closely as possible with maturities of deposits. The Company's
investment portfolio is all classified as held for sale, to provide additional
liquidity for anticipated loan demand and other liquidity needs. As an
additional source of liquidity, the Company in the latter half of 1998
established an overnight line of credit through one of its correspondent banks
pursuant to which the Company could borrow $4 million. The Company did not draw
on this line of credit during 1998.


                                       20
<PAGE>

     The Company's total deposits equaled $60.7 million and $42.8 million as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The funds provided by deposits,
combined with the additional capital raised by the Company and sales and
maturities of investment securities, has been more than sufficient to provide
for the Company's lending demand.


     Management believes that the Company's current sources of funds provide
adequate liquidity for the current cash flow needs of the Company.


CAPITAL


     A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its
capital base. The Company's federal regulators have classified and defined
capital into the following components: (1) Tier I capital, which includes
tangible shareholders' equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock,
and (2) Tier II capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for possible
loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does
not qualify for Tier I capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by
risk-based capital adequacy guidelines which require a financial institution to
maintain certain capital as a percent of its assets and certain off-balance
sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets.)
A financial institution is required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier I capital
as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier I and Tier II
capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.


     In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the federal regulators require
that a financial institution which meets the regulators' highest performance
and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital as a
percentage of tangible assets) of 3%. For those institutions with higher levels
of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the
minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased. Minimum leverage
ratios for each bank are evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination
process.


     The Company's federal regulators impose capital standards on bank holding
companies which are substantially similar to those imposed upon the Bank.
However, provided the Company's total assets are less than $150 million, these
standards are applied on a bank only basis.


     The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based and leverage
capital ratios at December 31, 1998, as well as the required minimum regulatory
capital ratios:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES


     The financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented
elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change
in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The
impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's
operations. Unlike most


                                       21
<PAGE>

industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are
monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
which eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) and
requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the
disclosure of the methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's
capital structure requires the use of the "two class" method of computing basic
earnings per share. Diluted EPS take into account the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Class B Common Stock,
including Class A Common Stock, were exercised and converted into Class B
Common Stock.


     On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" SFAS No. 130 establishes standards to provide prominent
disclosure of comprehensive income items. Other comprehensive income consists
of net unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale. Adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.


     In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information". SFAS No. 131 defines how operating segments are determined and
requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about the
Company's operating segments. Under current conditions, the Company is
reporting one segment.


     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activity." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments imbedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the
derivative and resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is
permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter. The Company is
currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE


     Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the Company's
operations. Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two
digits of the year entered (a common programming practice in prior years) are
expected to read entries for the Year 2000 as the year 1900 or as zero and
incorrectly attempt to compute payment, interest, delinquency and other data.
The Company has been evaluating both information technology (computer systems)
and non-information technology systems (e.g., vault timer, electronic door lock
and heating, ventilation and air conditioning control). The Company has
examined all of its non-information technology systems and has either received
certification of Year 2000 compliance for systems controlled by third-party
providers or determined that the systems should not be impacted by the Year
2000. The Company has completed its first round of testing and is currently
reviewing the results with regard to the systems it controls. In addition,
third-parties controlling systems used by the Company for its data processing
have also completed their first round of testing, and the parties operating the
systems are reviewing the results of this testing. The Company does not expect
any material costs to address its non-information technology systems and has
not had any material costs to date. The Company has determined that the


                                       22

information technology systems it currently uses have substantially more Year
2000 risk than the non-information technology systems the Company uses. The
Company has evaluated its information technology systems risk in three areas:
(1) its own computers, (2) computers of others used by its borrowers, and (3)
computers of others who provide the Company with data processing.


     THE COMPANY'S COMPUTERS. During 1998, the Company has spent approximately
$300,000 to upgrade its computer systems, primarily through the purchase of new
hardware. This upgrade was necessary to accommodate the planned expansion of
the Bank, and was not necessitated as part of the Company's Year 2000
remediation efforts. However, these new systems are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company does not expect to have additional material costs to address this risk
area after 1998.


     COMPUTERS OF OTHERS USED BY BORROWERS. The Company has evaluated most of
its borrowers and does not believe that the Year 2000 problem should, on an
aggregate basis, impact their ability to make payments to the Bank. The Company
believes that most of its individual borrowers are not dependent on their home
computers for income and none of the Company's commercial borrowers are so
large that a Year 2000 problem would render them unable to collect revenue or
rent and, in turn, continue to make loan payments to the Bank. The Company does
not expect any material costs to address this risk area.


     COMPUTERS OF OTHERS WHO PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH DATA PROCESSING. This
risk is primarily focused on one third-party service bureau that provides
virtually all of the Company's data processing. This service bureau is not Year
2000 compliant but has advised the Company that it expects to be compliant
before the Year 2000. This service bureau has conducted its first round of
testing of its systems and software, and is currently in the process of
reviewing the results of these tests. If this problem is not solved before the
Year 2000, the Company would likely experience significant delays, mistakes or
failures. These delays, mistakes or failures could have a significant impact on
the Company's financial condition and results of operations.


     CONTINGENCY PLAN. The Company is monitoring its service bureau to evaluate
whether the Company's data processing system will fail. The Company is being
provided with periodic updates on the status of testing and upgrades being made
by the service bureau. If the Company's service bureau fails, the Company will
attempt to locate an alternative service bureau that is Year 2000 compliant or
the Company will contract with the same vendor of its software system (which is
Year 2000 compliant) to utilize this software on the Company's own in-house
hardware system. If the Company is unsuccessful, the Company will enter deposit
and loan transactions by hand in its general ledger and compute loan payments
and deposit balances and interests with its existing computer system. The
Company can do this because of its relatively small number of loan and deposit
accounts and would expand its internal bookkeeping system. The Company's
computer systems are independently able to generate labels and mailings for all
of the Company's customers. If this labor intensive approach becomes necessary,
management and the Company's employees will become much less efficient.
However, the Company believes that it would be able to operate in this manner
indefinitely, until the Company's existing service bureau, or their
replacement, is able to again provide data processing services. If very few
financial institution service bureaus were operating in the Year 2000, the
Company's replacement costs, assuming it could negotiate an agreement, could be
material.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Admiralty

These financial statements are the responsibility of 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

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
Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and

NOTE A--ORGANIZATION


     Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. (successor company to White Eagle Financial Group,
Inc.), is a bank holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Admiralty Bancorp,
Inc. "Admiralty", and its wholly owned subsidiary, Admiralty Bank "the Bank",
collectively referred to as "the Company". The Bank is a state-chartered
independent community bank with its main office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida,
and branches in Juno Beach, Boca Raton and Jupiter.


     The Bank operates as a commercial bank offering a wide variety of
commercial loans and, to a lesser degree, consumer credits. The Bank originates
small business loans which are partially guaranteed by the Small Business
Administration. The Bank sells the guaranteed portion to unrelated third
parties. The Bank continues to service these loans. Its primary future
strategic aim is to establish a reputation and market presence as the "small
and middle market business bank" in its principal market. The Bank funds its
loans primarily by offering time, savings and money market, and demand deposit
accounts to both commercial enterprises and individuals. Additionally, the Bank
originates residential mortgage loans. Principal markets include South Florida.
 

     The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its
primary markets. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, mortgage bankers and brokers, credit unions and money market
funds actively compete for deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as
consumer finance, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and
investment banking firms, may be considered competitors of the Bank with
respect to one or more of the services it renders.


     The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies
and, accordingly, it is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities.
As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities,
the Bank's business is particularly susceptible to being affected by state and
federal legislation and regulations.


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


 BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


     The accounting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and predominant practices within the banking industry.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.


     The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.


     The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relates to the allowance for loan losses. The
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes, among
other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates, by category, applied to
current loan

                                      F-9

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

NOTE B--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends,
which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided
for in the evaluation, may vary from estimated loss percentages, which are
established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications.


     In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS No 131 defines how operating segments are determined and
requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about the
Company's operating segments. Under current conditions, the Company is
reporting one segment.


 INVESTMENT SECURITIES


     The Bank accounts for its investment securities in accordance with SFAS
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
This standard requires investments in securities to be classified in one of
three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Investments
in debt securities, for which management has both the ability and intent to
hold to maturity, are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the interest method.
Investments in debt securities, which management believes may be sold prior to
maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk and equity,
liquidity requirements or other factors, are classified as available for sale.
Net unrealized gains and losses for such securities, net of tax effect, are
required to be recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity and
excluded from the determination of net income. The Bank does not engage in
security trading. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date
basis. Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the
net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the
specific identification method.


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative
may be specifically designated as a hedge. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier
application is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter.
Management is in the process of reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 133.


 LOANS AND ALLOWANCE OR LOAN LOSSES


     Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of
unpaid principal and are net of unearned discount, unearned loan fees and an
allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through
a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loan principal considered to be
uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
possible losses on existing loans that may become

                                      F-10

                            AND PREDECESSOR COMPANY

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                          DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in
the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific
problem loans, and current and future economic conditions which may affect the
borrowers' ability to pay. The evaluation details historical losses by loan
category, the resulting loss rates for which are projected at current loan
total amounts. Loss estimates for specified problem loans are also detailed.


     Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual
of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
When a loan is placed on such non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued
interest receivable, applicable to periods prior to the current year, is
charged off to the allowance for loan losses. Interest which had accrued in the
current year is reversed out of current period income. Loans 90 days or more
past due and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing
interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection.


     The Bank accounts for its impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and
Disclosures." This standard requires that a creditor measure impairment based
on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may
measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Regardless of the
measurement method, a creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value
of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable.


 BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT


     Bank premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of
the improvements or the terms of the related leases. Depreciation expense was
$282,000 and $199,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.


 OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED


     Other real estate owned, included in other assets, representing property
acquired through foreclosure, is carried at the lower of the principal balance
of the secured loan or fair value less estimated disposal costs of the acquired
property. Costs relating to holding the assets are charged to expense.


 MORTGAGE SERVICING


     The Bank performs various servicing functions on loans owned by others. A
fee, usually based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the
loan, is received for these services. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Bank
was servicing approximately $14,840,000 and $17,416,000, respectively, of loans
for others.

                          DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


NOTE B--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

     The Company accounts for its transfers and servicing assets in accordance
with SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities," as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of
the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No. 125," which provides
accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets, servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities.


 LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS


     The Bank accounts for long-lived and intangible assets in accordance with
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which provides guidance on when to
recognize and how to measure impairment losses of long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles and how to value long-lived assets to be disposed of.
The adoption of this new statement did not have a material impact on the Bank's
financial position or results of operations.


 MORTGAGES HELD FOR SALE


     Mortgages held for sale are recorded at cost, which approximates market.
These mortgages are typically sold within three months of origination without
recourse to the Bank. Gain on the sales of residential mortgages is recognized
at the time of sale, and substantially all such gains result from the
recognition of previously deferred fees collected upon the origination of such
loans.


 RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS


     The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits
by keeping cash on hand or balances with the Federal Reserve Bank in a
non-interest bearing account. The amounts of those reserves and cash balances
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, were approximately $426,000 and $291,000,
respectively.


 MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN


     The Company accounts for the Management Stock Option Plan in accordance
with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a
fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may
use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value
of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is
usually the vesting period. Alternatively, the standard permits entities to
continue accounting for employee stock options and similar instruments under
Accountings Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB
Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Corporation's employee stock option plan is
accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25.


 RETIREMENT PLAN


     The Company has a savings plan pursuant to the provisions of section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for all eligible employees. Employees can
contribute up to limitation as defined within

the plan. The Company accrues costs as incurred. Contributions to this plan
amounted to $-0- and $9,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.


 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


     The total authorized capital stock of Admiralty consists of 5,000,000
shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.


     Admiralty established Class A Common Stock which possess all such rights
and privileges as are afforded to capital stock by law and shall also possess
the following rights, privileges and limitations:


      DIVIDENDS


    The holder of each share of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
    receive out of any funds legally available; therefore, when and as
    declared by the Board of Directors, preferential dividends thereon at the
    annual rate of ten percent (10%) per annum based upon a $10.00 per share
    stated value, and no more, payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31
    or on such other date or dates as may be determined by the Board of
    Directors. Those dividends shall be non-cumulative and may be paid either
    in cash or in shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, at the
    discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. No dividends shall be
    declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Company's Class B Common
    Stock (described below) for any period unless the most recently required
    dividend is paid on the Class A Common Stock. Holders of shares of the
    Class A Common Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether
    payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of the non-cumulative
    dividends, as herein provided, on the Class A Common Stock, unless
    specially declared by the Board of Directors.


      VOTING RIGHTS


    Holders of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to vote at any
    meeting of stockholders or otherwise and shall be entitled to notice of
    any such meeting. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one
    vote per share, and unless otherwise required by law, the Class A Common
    Stock will vote with the Class B Common Stock together as a single class.


      CONVERSION RIGHTS


    VOLUNTARY CONVERSION. Each share of Class A Common Stock is convertible,
    at the option of the holder, into one share of Class B Common Stock, at
    anytime or from time to time.


    INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION. In addition to the foregoing voluntary conversion
    rights, the Company has the right to require a holder of Class A Common
    Stock to convert the Class A Common Stock into Class B Common Stock, at
    the rate of one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Class A
    Common Stock held, in the event that the Class B Common Stock trades at
    $15.00 or higher and does not trade below $15.00 for the next 20
    consecutive trading days. Upon the end of such 20 consecutive trading day
    period, Company may issue a notice of mandatory conversion requiring the
    conversion of shares of the Class A Common Stock to Class B Common Stock
    within 20 days.

     NOTE B--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

    The conversion rate set forth above is subject to adjustment in the event
    of payment of certain stock dividends, stock split-ups or combinations or
    other similar recapitalizations, to ensure that a holder of the Class A
    Common Stock does not have his interests in the Company diluted through
    such transaction.


     Admiralty also established Class B Common Stock which possess all such
rights and privileges as are afforded to capital stock by law. Voting rights,
with regard to any items upon which the Class B Common Stock shall be required
or entitled to vote, the Class B Common Stock shall vote together with the
Class A Common Stock as a single class, except as otherwise required by law.


 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE


     The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
which eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) and
requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS in conjunction with the
disclosure of the methodology used in computing such EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's
capital structure requires the use of the "two class" method of computing basic
earnings per share. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Class B Common Stock,
including Class A Common Stock, were exercised and converted into Class B
Common Stock. EPS calculations for the period August 11, 1997 (date of
inception), through December 31, 1997, and for the predecessor company have not
been presented because the presentation is not considered meaningful.


 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


     On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards to provide
prominent disclosure of comprehensive income items. Other comprehensive income
consists of net unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale.
The components of other comprehensive income are as follows:

NOTE H--EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE


     After the end of 1998, it was determined that, based on our complex
capital structure involving our Class A and Class B Common Stock, the more
appropriate presentation of earnings per share is described below.


     Basic earnings per share is calculated using the "two class" method of
computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using
the "if converted" method of computing earnings per share, if dilutive. The "if
converted" method assumes the conversion of Class A Common Stock into shares of
Class B Common Stock. The following instruments were outstanding and not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so
would have been antidilutive for the periods presented: Class A Common Stock
convertible into 888,881 shares of Class B Common Stock; options outstanding to
purchase 226,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at $10.50 per share; and
warrants outstanding to purchase 800,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at
$11.00 per share.


     The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

     The Bank is involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of this litigation will
not have a significant effect on the accompanying financial statements.


NOTE J--MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN


     In May 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 1998
Management Stock Option Plan (the Management Plan), which provides for options
to purchase up to 330,000 shares of Class B stock to be issued to members of
the Board of Directors of the Company, the Bank and any other subsidiaries
which the Company acquires or incorporates in the future.


     The Management Plan provides for the granting of both incentive options
and nonstatutory options. Incentive stock options may be granted at an exercise
price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class B stock on
the date of the grant. The option price for nonstatutory options may not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class B stock on the date of
grant. The Board of Directors has discretion to set the actual exercise price
of any option within the foregoing parameters. The options, which have a term
of 10 years when issued, vest either immediately or over a three to five year
period.

NOTE J--MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN--(CONTINUED)


     The Management Plan is a fixed stock option plan accounted for under APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Had compensation cost for the plans
been determined based on the fair value of options at the grant dates
consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the Company's net loss and earnings per share for the Class B
Common Stock would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below
for the year ended December 31, 1998. Class A stock is not legally entitled to
share in any dividends paid upon the Class B stock.

    As reported ..................................    $      (1.77)

     The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 1998: no dividend yield; expected
volatility of 60%, risk-free interest rate of 5.48%; and expected lives of five
years for all options.

NOTE K--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


     The Bank has made in the past and, assuming continued satisfaction of
generally applicable credit standards, expects to continue to make loans to
directors, executive officers and their associates, (i.e., corporations or
organizations for which they serve as officers or directors or in which they
have beneficial ownership interests of ten percent or more). These loans have
all been made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business on substantially
the same items, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at
the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
In addition, Bank Directors and Officers keep depository balances with the
Bank. The aggregate dollar amount of these

loans was $982,000 and $-0- at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For
the year ended December 31, 1998, $995,000 in funds were disbursed and $13,000
of principal repayments were received.


     The Bank's branches in Boca Raton and Jupiter are leased from entities
owned by certain members of the Company's Board of Directors. The aggregate
rental payment due under these two leases will be approximately $239,000 per
year. The Company believes that these leases represent fair market value, and
are comparable to terms which the Bank could have obtained from unaffiliated
parties.


NOTE L--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF
        CREDIT RISKS


     The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of
those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in particular
classes of financial instruments.


     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by
the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does
for on-balance-sheet instruments.


     The Bank does not require collateral or other security to support
financial instruments with credit risk. The approximate contract amounts are as
follows:

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory, property, plant, and
equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.

NOTE L--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF
        CREDIT RISKS--(CONTINUED)

     Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements.


     The Bank has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees
during the past year. The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments
in 1998 or 1997.


     The Bank is an independent community commercial bank, with its main office
in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and branches in Juno Beach, Boca Raton and
Jupiter. The Bank principally extends credit for commercial business and
commercial real estate loans, substantially all of which are located in South
Florida. Although the Bank maintains a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its borrowers' abilities to repay loans is dependent
upon the economic condition of the South Florida region.


NOTE M--BORROWINGS


     The Company has an available unsecured overnight borrowing line of credit
totalling $4,000,000 with a corresponding bank. At December 31, 1998 the entire
line of credit was available to the Company.


NOTE N--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


     SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and
liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Bank, as for most
financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are
considered financial instruments as defined in SFAS No. 107. However, many such
instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing
buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company's
general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and
to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. Therefore, the
Company had to use significant estimations and present value calculations to
prepare this disclosure.


     Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values
may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that
there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide
range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active
markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in
estimating financial instrument fair values.


     Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the
best available, as generally provided by estimation methodologies deemed
suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation
methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as
follows:


     Fair value of loans and deposits with floating interest rates is generally
presumed to approximate the recorded carrying amounts.

     There is no material difference between the carrying amount and the
estimated fair value of off-balance-sheet items totalling approximately $15.5
million and $3.2 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which are
primarily comprised of floating rate loan commitments priced to market at
funding.

     The Bank's remaining assets and liabilities are not considered financial
instruments. No disclosure of the relationship value of the Bank's deposits is
required by SFAS No. 107.

NOTE O--REGULATORY MATTERS--(CONTINUED)

concluded in September 1991, the Bank entered into a Cease and Desist Order
(C&D) in January 1992. Provisions of this C&D required the Bank to, among other
things, cease and desist from the following: (1) operating the Bank with
inadequate capital; (2) maintaining unsatisfactory asset quality and excess
past-due loans; (3) funding operations with unstable deposits or other
liabilities; and (4) maintaining inadequate loss reserves.


     Based upon the improvements in the Bank's condition as reflected in the
Report of Examination as of October 1997 by the FRB, and based on the Bank's
overall compliance with the C&D, the FRB terminated its C&D on January 30,
1998, and the Department terminated its C&D on February 6, 1998.


     The Bank, as a state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank, is subject to
regulatory dividend restrictions. Under such restrictions, the Bank may not,
without prior regulatory approval, declare dividends.


     The Bank is subject to various regulatory and capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional
discretionary--actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.


     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1998, that
the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

NOTE O--REGULATORY MATTERS--(CONTINUED)

     As of December 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Department
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification
that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE P--PLAN OF MERGER AND RECAPITALIZATION


     During September 1997, Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. (Admiralty), entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) with White Eagle Financial
Group, Inc. (WEFG). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all then existing
shareholders of WEFG had their interests in WEFG cancelled in exchange for a
cash payment equal to 1.85 times the shareholders' equity of WEFG. The
consideration paid to WEFG shareholders upon consummation of the acquisition
was $7,500,000. Additionally, Admiralty paid a finder fee of $500,000, payable
in 50,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, to the former Chairman of the Board
of WEFG in conjunction with the sale of WEFG to Admiralty. This fee was
considered additional consideration in the purchase WEFG. In connection with
this transaction, Admiralty was merged into WEFG and WEFG then changed its name
to Admiralty Bancorp, Inc. This transaction was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operation for the
year ended December 31, 1998, include only the results of operations of WEFG
from the date of acquisition, January 22, 1998. The acquisition resulted in the
Company recording $3,981,000 of goodwill which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 25 years. Amortization expense for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was $147,000.
