financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at

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

5. Stock Split. On February 14, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a
three-for-two stock split on all outstanding common shares for
shareholders of record on February 28, 2003, which were distributed on
March 14, 2003. Stockholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares
resulting from the split based on the closing price on the record date.

6. Stock Option Plans. During 2002, the Company adopted a new stock option
plan (the "2002 Plan") which authorizes the Company to issue up to 375,000
shares (adjusted) in connection with options granted to directors,
officers or employees of the Company. The terms and vesting periods will
be determined as each option is granted, but the option price cannot be
less than the then current market value of the common stock at the grant
date. No options had been granted under the 2002 Plan through March 31,
2004.
The Company also has a 1993 stock option plan (the "1993 Plan") under
which common shares are authorized to be issued in connection with options
granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. Options
granted under the 1993 Plan are exercisable at the market price of the
common stock at the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to
officers and employees are exercisable in three equal annual installments,
with the first installment becoming exercisable one year from the date of
grant. Options granted to outside directors are exercisable immediately,
but any common shares obtained from exercise of the options may not be
sold prior to one year from the date of grant. All options expire at the
earlier of ten years for officers and employees or twenty years for
directors from the date of grant or one year following the date which the
outside director, officer or employee ceases to serve in such capacity.
All authorized options under the 1993 Plan have been granted.
The following is a summary of stock option transactions during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (All options and option
price per share information has been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two
stock split in 2003):

6. Stock Option Plans, Continued. No stock options were granted under the
plans during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 or 2003. SFAS
No. 123 requires pro forma fair value disclosures if the intrinsic value
method is being utilized to value stock-based compensation awards. For
purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock
options granted is included in expense in the period vesting occurs. The
proforma information has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The
Company accounts for its stock option plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in net income during the periods presented, as all stock
options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income and basic and diluted income
per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation ($ in
thousands, except per share data):

Review by Independent Accountants
Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company's independent accountants, have made a
limited review of the financial data as of March 31, 2004, and for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 presented in this document, in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants.
Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included

Report on Review by Independent Accountants
FFLC Bancorp, Inc.
Leesburg, Florida:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
FFLC Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2004, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated January 16, 2004 we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
FFLC Bancorp, Inc., (the "Holding Company") is the holding company for
First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County (the "Bank") and the Bank's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake County Service Corporation ("LCSC")
(together, the "Company"). The Holding Company's other subsidiary, First
Alliance Title, LLC ceased operations in November 2003. The Company's
consolidated results of operations are primarily those of the Bank.
The Bank's principal business continues to be attracting retail deposits
from the general public and investing those deposits, together with
borrowings and principal repayments on loans and investments and funds
generated from operations in loans. Those loans are primarily loans
secured by first mortgage on one-to-four-family homes or commercial real
estate. The Bank also makes commercial and consumer loans and, to a lesser
extent, construction, land and multi-family mortgage loans. In addition,
the Bank holds investments permitted by federal laws and regulations
including securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies. The
Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest on its loan and
securities portfolios. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") system and its deposits are insured up to the applicable limits
by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Bank is subject to regulation by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") as its chartering agency, and
the FDIC as its deposit insurer.
The Bank has fifteen full-service banking facilities in Lake, Sumter,
Citrus and Marion Counties, Florida. The Bank is in the process of
constructing its sixteenth branch in Sumter County which it expects to
open during the second quarter of 2004.
The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest income earned
primarily on its loan and securities portfolios, and its cost of funds,
consisting of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. The
Company's operating results are also affected, to a lesser extent, by fee
income. The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy expenses, and other general and
administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations are also
significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies, and
actions of regulatory authorities.
16
FFLC BANCORP, INC.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company's primary sources of funds include proceeds from payments and
prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds
from maturities of investment securities, and increases in deposits and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowed funds. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities
are predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and mortgage prepayments
are greatly influenced by local conditions, general interest rates, and
regulatory changes.
To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business. In the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
off-balance sheet financial instrument, the Company's exposure to credit
loss is the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the
same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company's
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2004
follows (in thousands):
Commitments to extend credit $ 31,254
========
Unused lines of credit $ 87,393
========
Undisbursed portion of loans in process $ 23,891
========
Standby letters of credit $ 3,311
========
Capital Resources
The Company believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
its commitments. At March 31, 2004, certificates of deposit which were
scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $284.9 million. Based on
past experience, management believes that a significant portion of those
funds will remain with the Company.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can result in regulators initiating certain
mandatory- and possibly additional discretionary-actions that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts (set forth in the table) of
total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of March 31, 2004, the
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
17
FFLC BANCORP, INC.
As of March 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the OTS
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the
Bank must maintain minimum tangible, Tier I (core), Tier I (risk-based)
and total risk-based capital percentages as set forth in the table. There
are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed the institution's category.
The Bank's actual capital amounts and percentages at March 31, 2004 are
also presented in the table.

million increase in net loans and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$9.4 million. Deposits increased $30.9 million from $705.6 million at December
31, 2003 to $736.5 million at March 31, 2004. The $1.6 million net increase in
stockholders' equity during the three months ended March 31, 2004 resulted
primarily from net income of $2.3 million less dividends paid of $701,000.

FFLC BANCORP, INC.
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003
General Operating Results. Net income for the three-month period ended March 31,
2004 was $2.3 million, or $.42 per basic share and $.41 per diluted share,
compared to $2.4 million, or $.44 per basic share and $.43 per diluted share,
for the comparable period in 2003. All per share information has been presented
to reflect the three-for-two stock split in 2003. The $90,000 decrease in net
income resulted primarily from an increase in noninterest expense of $445,000
and a decrease in noninterest income of $305,000, not withstanding a $515,000
increase in net interest income.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $357,000 to $13.2 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004, when compared to the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average yield
earned on interest-earning assets from 6.17% for the three months ended March
31, 2003 to 5.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in
yield was partially offset by a $17.6 million or 2.0% increase in average
interest-earning assets outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $872,000 or 13.3%, from $6.5
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 to $5.7 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 3.16% for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 to 2.70% for the comparable 2004 period,
partially offset by an increase of $12.9 million or 1.6% in average
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding. Average interest-bearing deposits
increased from $657.7 million outstanding during the three months ended March
31, 2003 to $684.5 million outstanding during the comparable period for 2004.
Average borrowings decreased from $169.2 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 to $155.3 million for the comparable 2004 period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to income to
increase the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by
management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted
by the Company, the Company's charge-off experience, industry standards, the
amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they
relate to the Company's market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions
for loan losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 of
$339,000 and $406,000, respectively. Net loans charged off for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $183,000 and $276,000, respectively.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which was $5.6 million
or .69% of gross loans at March 31, 2004 is adequate.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $305,000 or 23.8% from $1.3
million during the 2003 period to $1.0 million during the 2004 period. The
decrease was primarily due to a $121,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans held
for sale and a $212,000 decrease in other service charges and fees and other
noninterest income. These decreases resulted from a slowdown in the Company's
mortgage refinancing activities as interest rates began to steady during the
period. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company originated
$7.2 million of loans intended to be sold in the secondary market compared to
the $16.3 million originated in the first three months in 2003.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $445,000 or 10.8% from
$4.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 to $4.6 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to
increases of $214,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $118,000 in data
processing expense and $54,000 in occupancy expense all related to the overall
growth of the Company.
Income Taxes. The Company made a provision for $1.4 million for income taxes for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 (an effective tax rate of 37.9%) and
$1.4 million (an effective tax rate of 37.5%) for the corresponding period in
2004.

FFLC BANCORP, INC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from the interest-rate
risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. The Company
has little or no risk related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign
exchange.
Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
The primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to limit, within
established guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on
the Company's net interest income and capital, and is effected by
adjusting the Company's asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum
yield-cost spread on that structure. Management relies primarily on its
asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk. However, a sudden
and substantial increase in interest rates could adversely impact the
Company's earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets
and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on
the same basis. There has been no significant change in the Company's
market risk exposure since December 31, 2003. The Company does not believe
that the interest rate swap entered into in September 2002 exposes the
Company to significant interest rate risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company
maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and
procedures performed within 90 days of the filing date of this
report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial officers of the
Company concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate.
b. Changes in internal controls. The Company made no significant
changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the
evaluation of those controls by the Chief Executive and Chief
Financial officers.
