F.N.B. Corporation Salary Savings Plan
Naples, Florida

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of F.N.B. Corporation Salary Savings Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and
the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 and reportable transactions for
the year then ended, are presented for purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the F.N.B. Corporation Salary Savings Plan (the
"Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

GENERAL

The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan, substantially covering all
salaried employees of the following subsidiaries of F.N.B. Corporation (the
"Corporation"): First National Bank of Florida; The Customer Service Center of
F.N.B., LLC FL Division; and F.N.B. Affiliate Services. During the first quarter
of 2001, the Corporation completed a consolidation charter plan which reduced
the number of bank charters from eight to three. Under the plan, the
Corporation's five Florida banks were merged under the First National Bank of
Florida. Employees who have completed 90 days of service and are age twenty-one
or older are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

CONTRIBUTIONS

Under the Plan, participants may make voluntary pretax contributions to their
accounts of up to 15% of annual base compensation. The Corporation, at its
discretion, matches 50% of the first 6% of the participants' annual base
compensation. The Corporation, at its discretion, may also make a fixed
nonelective contribution equal to 5% of the compensation of all eligible
participants and may from time to time contribute to the Plan such additional
amounts, as detailed in the Plan agreement.

Participants' savings contributions and employer matching contributions are
designated under a qualified deferred arrangement as allowed by Sections 401(k)
and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Participants may direct employee contributions into any of the several
investment options maintained by Principal Financial Group, Inc. ("Principal").
Principal is the custodian of all the Plan's assets.


                                                                               4

                     F.N.B. Corporation Salary Savings Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

CONTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)

The employer's discretionary contributions are used to purchase the
Corporation's common stock. Participants who have attained age 59 1/2 are
permitted to direct the trustee to invest the Corporation's discretionary
portion of their account into any other investment that may be permitted under
the Plan.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

The participants' accounts are credited with their voluntary contribution, the
employer's matching contribution and an allocation of the Plan's net earnings as
defined by the Plan.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the
lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from
1-5 years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and
bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
by the Plan Administrator. Principal and interest are paid ratably through
payroll deductions.

VESTING

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contribution plus actual
earnings thereon. Participants are 100% vested in the employer's contribution
and actual earnings thereon after five years of service (see vesting schedule
below):

                                VESTING SCHEDULE



YEARS OF SERVICE          PERCENTAGE
----------------          ----------
                       
      1                      20%
      2                      40%
      3                      60%
      4                      80%
      5                     100%



                                                                               5

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

FORFEITURES

Upon termination of a participant, the employer's contributions to which the
participant is not vested is segregated into a separate account and is used to
reduce the Plan's administrative expenses. Any remaining balance is distributed
among the participant's accounts. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
forfeitures totaled $74,600 and were used to reduce plan expenses.

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

Upon termination of service, a participant with a vested account balance of less
than $5,000 will receive a lump-sum equal to the vested value of the
participant's account. A participant who terminates service with a vested
account balance of greater than $5,000 has two options: the participant may
leave the account under the Plan or the participant may request a lump-sum
distribution of the vested account balance. The benefit to which a participant
is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.
The Plan also permits distributions in the event of the participant's permanent
disability, death, or attainment of normal retirement age as defined by the
Plan.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

All administrative expenses of the Plan, except for investment fees, are paid by
the Corporation. Such expenses have historically been comprised of fees of
audit, custody and recordkeeping services and have been immaterial in relation
to the Corporation and the Plan.

PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Corporation has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contribution at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Principal pooled separate accounts investments are valued using accumulation
units and are stated at fair value. The dividends, interest, and realized and
unrealized gains for the underlying funds are factored into the value of the
separate account funds. The dollar value per unit of participation is determined
by dividing the total value of the separate account by the total number of units
of participation held in the separate account. Investments in shares of
registered investment companies and common/collective trusts are stated at their
net asset value, based on the quoted market prices of the securities held in
such funds. The Corporation's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market
under the trading symbol "FBAN" and is valued using the closing price on the
last day of the Plan year. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding
balances, which approximate fair value.

DEMUTUALIZATION

On March 31, 2001, the Board of Directors of Principal Mutual Holding Company
adopted a plan for converting Principal Mutual Holding Company from a mutual
insurance holding company to a stock company. The plan was approved by policy
and contract holders on July 24, 2001 and by the Iowa Insurance Commissioner on
August 28, 2001. The demutualization became effective upon the closing of the
initial public offering of Principal Financial Group, Inc. on October 26, 2001.
In demutualization, membership interests of eligible policy and contract holders
are exchanged for compensation, which may be in the form of stock, cash or
policy/contract enhancements. The compensation was distributed over a five-day
period beginning on December 10, 2001.


                                                                               7

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to
reflect the 2001 presentation.

3. INVESTMENTS

The fair values of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the
Plan's net assets are as follows:

5. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated February 26, 1999, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator
believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and
the related trust is tax-exempt.


                                                                               9
