-8- LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1998 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lake City Bank (the Bank) and Lakeland Capital Trust (Lakeland Trust). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company formed Lakeland Trust on July 24, 1997. Lakeland Trust issued $20 million of 9% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (Preferred Securities). These proceeds were used to purchase Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Company owns all of the common stock of Lakeland Trust. The sole assets of Lakeland Trust are the Subordinated Debentures and the payments thereunder. The obligations of the Company under the Guarantee, the Trust Agreement, the Subordinated Debentures, the Indenture and the Expense Agreement provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all the obligations of Lakeland Trust under the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the subordinated debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption at the liquidation preference. Subject to the Company receiving prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required, the subordinated debentures are redeemable prior to the maturity date of September 30, 2027 at the option of the Company on or after September 30, 2002, or upon occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture. The Company has the option to defer distributions on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. Lakeland Trust is treated for financial reporting purposes as a subsidiary of the Company and, accordingly, the accounts of Lakeland Trust are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Preferred Securities issued by Lakeland Trust are presented as a separate line item as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company under the caption "Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Company's Subordinated Debentures" and the Company records distributions payable on the Preferred Securities as an expense in its consolidated statements of income. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate and do not make the information presented misleading. -9- It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report and Form 10-K. In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management must make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported therein and the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods are reflected in the quarterly statements included herein. NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per common share is based upon weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share shows the dilutive effect of additional common shares issueable. The average common shares outstanding and the net income per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, reflect a two-for-one stock split. The record date for the stock split was April 30, 1998, and the new shares were issued May 15, 1998. The common shares outstanding for the Stockholders' Equity section of the Balance Sheet reflect the acquisition 15,126 shares of Lakeland Financial Corporation common stock to offset a liability for a directors' deferred compensation plan. These shares are treated as outstanding when computing the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the calculation of both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. (Intentionally left blank) -10- A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic earnings per common share and the diluted earnings per common share for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is presented below. All dollar amounts other than earnings per share are in thousands.

STOCK OPTIONS At the annual meeting of shareholders on April 14, 1998, the shareholders approved the Lakeland Financial Corporation 1997 Share Incentive Plan. This plan reserves 600,000 shares of Lakeland Financial Corporation common stock for which Incentive Share Options (ISO) and Non-Qualified Share Options (NQSO) may be granted to employees of Lakeland Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, and members of the Board of Directors of Lakeland Financial Corporation.

There were no options exerciseable as of June 30, 1998. The Company accounts for the stock options under APB 25. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures for companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based compensation. The following pro forma information presents net income, basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. No compensation cost was actually recognized for stock options in 1998 or 1997.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on June 16, 1998. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. It may be adopted early, but no retroactive treatment is allowed. All derivatives, including those imbedded in other contracts, should be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair values run through the income statement except for designated hedges which are handled in various ways depending on the hedge. Management of the Company is presently evaluating the applicability of SFAS No. 133 to the financial statements. -13- Part 1 LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATION June 30, 1998 FINANCIAL CONDITION The financial statements reflect the Company's continued growth within traditional markets and expansion into new market areas. Total assets of the Company were $894,292,000 as of June 30, 1998. This is an increase of $97,814,000 or 12.3 percent from $796,478,000 reported at December 31, 1997. Total loans were $487,322,000 at June 30, 1998. This is an increase of $28,688,000 or 6.3 percent from the December 31, 1997 balance. Total securities (including available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM) increased $61,969,000 or 25.0 percent to $310,127,000 as of June 30, 1998, from $248,158,000 at December 31, 1997. Earning assets increased to $796,874,000 at June 30, 1998. This is an increase of $89,429,000 or 12.6 percent from the December 31, 1997, total of $707,445,000. Total deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) consist primarily of funds generated within the Company's primary market area as defined by its Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) statement. At June 30, 1998, these funds totaled $785,912,000. This represented a $107,453,000 or 15.8 percent increase from December 31, 1997. The growth has been primarily in certificates of deposit which increased $65,312,000 or 16.6 percent from the balance at December 31, 1997, and repurchase agreements which increased $24,274,000 or 37.1 percent. The repurchase agreements are a combination of fixed rate contracts and cash management accounts, a variable rate repurchase agreement product. Savings accounts plus interest-bearing demand accounts increased $6,105,000, or 4.8 percent from the balances at December 31, 1997, and noninterest-bearing demand accounts increased $11,762,000, or 12.7 percent for the same time period. The assumption of deposits of the Peru and Greentown offices of National City Bank in February, 1998, added approximately $2 million of demand deposits, $2 million of savings deposits and $30 million of time deposits on the date of acquisition. In addition to these local funding sources, the Company borrows modestly through the Treasury, Tax and Loan program, occasionally through federal fund lines with correspondent banks and through term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB). Including these non-local sources, funding totaled $817,813,000 at June 30, 1998. This is a $95,337,000 or 13.2 percent increase from $722,476,000 reported at December 31, 1997. -14- On an average daily basis, total earning assets increased 26.7 percent and 24.1 percent for the three-month period and the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to similar periods ended June 30, 1997. On an average daily basis, total deposits and purchased funds increased 30.3 percent and 27.5 percent for the three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 1997. The Company's investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasuries, agencies, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and corporates. During 1998, new investments have been primarily U.S. Treasuries, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities comprised approximately 72.1 and 69.5 percent of the total securities and consisted mainly of CMO's and mortgage pools issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. As such, these securities are backed directly or indirectly by the Federal Government. The Company uses Bloomberg analytics to evaluate and monitor all purchases. At June 30, 1998, the mortgage-backed securities in the HTM portfolio had a three year average life, with a potential for approximately 11 percent price depreciation should rates increase 300 basis points and approximately 6 percent price appreciation should rates decrease 300 basis points. The mortgage-backed securities in the AFS portfolio had a one and one-half year average life and a potential for approximately 6 percent price depreciation should rates move up 300 basis points and approximately 2 percent price appreciation should rates move down 300 basis points. As of June 30, 1998, all mortgage-backed securities are performing in a manner consistent with management's original expectations. The Company's AFS portfolio is managed with consideration given to factors such as the Company's capital levels, growth prospects, asset/liability structure and liquidity needs. At June 30, 1998, the AFS portfolio constituted 26.6 percent of the total security portfolio. During the first six months of 1998, purchases for the AFS and HTM portfolios were $28,426,000 and $94,657,000 and sales from the AFS portfolio totaled $18,914,000. The securities sold from the AFS portfolio were primarily CMO's and were part of a restructuring relating to the recent branch acquisitions. At June 30, 1998, the net after-tax unrealized gain in the AFS portfolio included in stockholders' equity was $243,000, a decrease of $442,000 from the unrealized gain included in stockholders' equity at December 31, 1997. Future investment activity is difficult to predict, as it is dependent upon loan and deposit trends. As previously indicated, total loans increased $28,688,000 to $487,322,000 as of June 30, 1998, from $458,634,000 at December 31, 1997. Loan growth is net of loans reclassified to other real estate and loans sold. The Company continues to experience good loan demand. Commercial loans at June 30, 1998, increased 9.0 percent from the level at December 31, 1997. Retail loans at June 30, 1998, increased 5.2 percent from December 31, 1997. Real estate loans (excluding mortgages held-for-sale) decreased 3.4 percent from December 31, 1997. The balances in the real estate loan portfolio are impacted by the -15- sale of real estate mortgages in the secondary market and the level of refinance and new mortgage activity in the existing rate environment. The Company had 61.1 percent of its loans concentrated in commercial loans at June 30, 1998, and 59.5 percent at December 31, 1997. Traditionally, this type of lending may have more credit risk than other types of lending. This is attributed to the fact that individual commercial loans are generally larger than residential real estate and retail loans, and because the type of borrower and purpose of commercial loans are not as homogeneous as with residential and retail customers. The Company manages this risk by pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit, and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and geography. Customer diversification is accomplished through an administrative loan limit of $7,500,000. Product diversification is accomplished by offering a wide variety of financing options. Management reviews the loan portfolio to ensure loans are diversified by industry. The loan portfolios are distributed throughout the Company's principal trade area, which encompasses fourteen counties in Indiana. Other than loans disclosed elsewhere in this filing as past-due, impaired, nonaccrual or restructured, the Company is not aware of any loans classified for regulatory purposes at June 30, 1998, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. The Company is not aware of any material credits in which there is serious doubt as to the borrower's ability to comply with the loan repayment terms, other than those disclosed as past due, impaired, nonaccrual or restructured. The Company continues to actively serve the mortgage needs of its CRA defined market area by originating both conforming and nonconforming real estate mortgages. During the first six months of 1998, the Company originated mortgages for sale totaling $33,807,000 as compared to $10,605,000 during the first six months of 1997. This program of mortgage sales continues to produce the liquidity needed to meet the mortgage needs of the markets served by the Company, and to generate a long-term servicing portfolio. As a part of the CRA commitment to making real estate financing available in all markets, the Company continues to originate non-conforming loans that are held to maturity or prepayment. Loans renegotiated as troubled debt restructuring are those loans for which either the contractual interest rate has been reduced and/or other concessions are granted to the borrower because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower which results in the inability of the borrower to meet the original terms of the loan. Loans renegotiated as troubled debt restructurings totaled $1,327,000 at June 30, 1998, as compared to $1,377,000 at December 31, 1997. The loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 1998, are performing in accordance with the modified terms. Based upon state banking regulations, the Company's June 30, 1998 legal loan limit was approximately $9,304,000. The legal loan limit will continue to -16- increase as the Company's combined equity and allowance for loan losses continues to increase. At its January 13, 1998 meeting, the Company's Board of Directors increased the Company's policy limit to $7,500,000 for any one borrower. For the first six months of 1998, deposits have been increasing faster than loans, partially due to the approximately $34,000,000 in deposits assumed in acquisitions during the first quarter of 1998. The increase in loans is also affected by the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market as discussed earlier. Demand accounts, which are noninterest-bearing, have increased $11,762,000 during the first six months of 1998, and other transaction accounts have increased $6,105,000 during the same period. During this period there has been a significant increase in time deposits which increased $65,312,000 or 16.6 percent. Approximately $30 million of time deposits were assumed in the acquisitions in February, 1998. During this six-month period, loans increased $28,688,000 or 6.3 percent. As a result of these loan and deposit trends, the Company's average daily loans/deposits ratio amounted to 68.9 percent at June 30, 1998, which is a decrease from 77.2 percent at year-end 1997. The Company's average daily loans/total deposits and repurchase agreements ratio amounted to 65.4 percent at June 30, 1998. This is a decrease from 72.8 percent at year-end 1997. The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not own any derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Company, through its Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), manages interest rate risk by monitoring both its GAP position and the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the type of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit ALCO needs. The current long-term guideline approved by the Board of Directors defines a neutral rate sensitivity ratio (GAP/Total Assets) as plus or minus 20 percent. However, the ALCO is authorized to manage this ratio outside these limits on a short-term basis, as the committee's expectation of interest rates dictates. Management has estimated that as of June 30, 1998, the Company's GAP/Total Assets ratios were (9.6) percent, (11.0) percent, and (12.8) percent for the three, six, and twelve-month time periods. For this analysis, savings accounts have been assumed to be repriceable beyond twelve months, and therefore are not included as repriceable liabilities in each of these ratios. The December 31, 1997, three, six, and twelve-month GAP ratios were (6.3) percent, (7.3) percent, and (9.6) percent. Management supplements the GAP analysis with a computer simulation approach to manage the interest rate risk of the Company. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of a 300 basis point change in interest rates during the next 12 months. If the change in net interest income is less than 3 percent of primary capital, the balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels. At June 30, 1998, -17- the Company's potential pretax exposure was within the Company's policy limit. This policy was last reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors in May, 1998. The following table provides information about the Company's financial instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For loans, securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the Company's historical experience of the impact of interest-rate fluctuations on the prepayment of residential and home equity loans and mortgage-backed securities. For core deposits (demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based upon the Company's historical experience, management's judgment and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors. Weighted-average variable rates are based upon rates existing at the reporting date.

-19- The Company is a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis. Membership has enabled the Company to participate in the housing programs sponsored by the FHLB, thereby enhancing the Company's ability to offer additional programs throughout its trade area. The Board of Directors of the Company passed a resolution authorizing the Company to borrow up to $50 million under the FHLB program. As of June 30, 1998, the borrowings from the FHLB totaled $25,350,000 with $4,000,000 due December 7, 1998, $10,000,000 due December 28, 1998, $10,000,000 due April 27, 1999, $1,300,000 due June 24, 2003, and $50,000 with annual payments maturing on January 15, 2018. All borrowings are collateralized by residential real estate mortgages. Membership in the FHLB requires an equity investment in FHLB stock. The amount required is computed annually, and is based upon a formula which considers the Company's total investment in residential real estate loans, mortgage-backed securities and any FHLB advances outstanding at year-end. The Company's investment in FHLB stock at June 30, 1998, was $2,844,000. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) risk based capital regulations require that all banks maintain an 8.0 percent total risk based capital ratio. The FDIC has also established definitions of "well capitalized" as a 5.0 percent Tier I leverage capital ratio, a 6.0 percent Tier I risk based capital ratio and a 10.0 percent total risk based capital ratio. As of June 30, 1998, the Company's ratios were 6.2 percent, 9.9 percent and 11.5 percent, excluding the SFAS No. 115 adjustment. The ratios reported at December 31, 1997 were 7.4 percent, 10.6 percent and 12.4 percent and ratios reported at June 30, 1997 were 6.5 percent, 10.0 percent and 11.2 percent. The June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 ratios include the maximum amount of the trust preferred securities allowed by regulations. Current regulations limit the amount of trust preferred securities included in Tier I capital to the greater of the amount of the trust preferred securities or 25 percent of the total Tier I capital. All ratios continue to be above "well capitalized" levels. In June, 1998, the Company was examined by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) and the FDIC as of March 31, 1998. Management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations that if implemented would have a material effect on liquidity, capital or results of operations. Total stockholders' equity increased $2,533,000 or 5.2 percent from December 31, 1997, to $50,789,000 at June 30, 1998. Net income of $4,037,000, less dividends of $958,000, less the decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income of $442,000, less $104,000 for the cost of treasury stock acquired comprise this increase. Total Company assets have grown from $379,391,000 at June 30, 1993, to $894,292,000 at June 30, 1998. This is an increase of $514,901,000 or 135.7 percent which equates to an 18.7 percent rate of growth per year. Stockholders' equity has increased from $25,759,000 to $50,789,000 for the same time period. That is an increase of $25,030,000 or 97.2 percent which equates to a 14.5 percent rate of growth per year. Net income for the six -20- months ended June 30, 1993, compared to the net income for the same period of 1998, increased $1,683,000 or 71.5 percent from $2,354,000 to $4,037,000. From June 30, 1993, to June 30, 1998, the number of Lake City Bank offices increased from 19 to 42. This growth has been funded through results of operation, issuance of trust preferred securities and existing capital. There are no guarantees that past rates of growth will be continued in future periods. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, total interest and dividend income increased $5,270,000 or 20.6 percent to $30,850,000, from $25,580,000 during the same six months of 1997. Interest and dividend income increased $2,724,000 or 20.7 percent for the three-month period ending June 30, 1998, as compared to the three-month period ending June 30, 1997. Daily average earning assets for the first two quarters of 1998 increased to $767,982,000, a 24.1 percent increase over the same period in 1997. For the second quarter alone, the daily average earning assets increased to $796,460,000 or 26.7 percent increase over the daily average earning assets of the second quarter of 1997. The tax equivalent yields on average earning assets decreased by 22 basis points for the six-month period ending June 30, 1998, when compared to the same respective period of 1997. For the three-month period ending June 30, 1998, this yield decreased 41 basis points from the yield for the three-month period ending June 30, 1997. The liquidity resulting from the branch acquisitions in 1998 and in the fourth quarter of 1997 has had a negative effect on the interest margin. The decrease in the yield on average earning assets reflects the funds relating to purchases of deposits from other banks in late 1997 and early 1998 being invested in securities until they can be more profitabily employed into loans, plus reductions in the yields on both loans and securities. The decrease in yields reflects the current low-rate environment along with the level of competition in the markets served. The yield on securities is historically lower than the yield on loans and increasing the ratio of securities to total earning assets will normally lower the yield on earning assets. The ratio of average daily securities to average earning assets for the first two quarters of 1998 was 36.4 percent compared to 32.5 percent for the same period of 1997. For the second quarter of 1998 alone this ratio was 36.8 percent compared to 34.0 percent for the second quarter of 1997. In addition, the overall tax equivalent yield on loans decreased 20 and 38 basis points when comparing the six-month and three-month periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997. The yield on securities decreased 5 and 12 basis points for the same respective periods. The decrease in the yields on loans was offset by the increase in loan balances. The average daily loan balances for the first six months of 1998 increased 18.4 percent over the average daily loan balances for the same -21- period of 1997. The average daily loan balances for the three-months ending June 30, 1998 increased 18.7 percent over the average daily loan balances for the three months ending June 30, 1997. The increase in the loan balances, offset by a decrease in the loan yields, resulted in total loan income increasing $2,951,000 when comparing the first six months of 1998 to the first six months of 1997, and increasing $1,390,000 when comparing the three months of the second quarter of 1998 to the same period of 1997. Income from securities totaled $8,843,000 for the first six months of 1998, an increase of $2,129,000 or 31.7 percent over the amount for the same period of 1997. The income from securities for the three-month period ending June 30, 1998 was $4,586,000 as compared to $3,414,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 1997. These increases were the result of the increases in the average daily balances of securities offset by the decreases in the yields on securities. The average daily balances of securities for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 1998 increased $79,501,000 and $68,508,000 when compared to the same periods of the prior year. Income from short-term investments amounted to $335,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 and $221,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998. This compares to $145,000 and $59,000 for the same respective periods in 1997. The difference in the short-term investment income for the six months ending June 30, 1998, compared to the six months ending June 30, 1997, results from a higher average balance in short-term investments during the first six months of 1998, $12,309,000 versus $5,725,000, partially offset by a 21 basis point reduction in the tax equivalent yield. The higher income for the three months ending June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ending June 30, 1997, is due to an $11,530,000 increase in the average daily balance offset by a 4 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield. Total interest expense increased $4,147,000 or 31.3 percent to $17,393,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, from $13,246,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, and it increased $2,205,000 or 32.3 percent for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, from the $6,832,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997. This is a result of the overall growth of deposits (including growth in existing offices and growth resulting from acquisitions), the change in the deposit mix and the issuance during 1997 of trust preferred securities. On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) increased 32.8 percent and 35.2 percent for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the similar periods ended June 30, 1997. When comparing these same periods, the average daily balances of the demand deposit accounts rose $20,826,000 and $23,551,000 while the average daily balances of savings and transaction accounts combined rose $22,125,000 and $25,418,000. The average daily balance of time deposits, which pay a higher rate of interest as compared to demand deposit and transaction accounts, increased $121,651,000 and $131,290,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the six and three -22- months ended June 30, 1997. On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) and purchased funds increased 27.5 percent and 30.3 percent for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1997. The Company's daily cost of funds during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, increased 13 basis points when compared to the same period of 1997, and increased 7 basis points when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. The Company's daily cost of funds also reflects the impact of 9 percent trust preferred securities issued in August, 1997. The interest related to these securities is included in interest expense on long-term debt. The net effect of all factors affecting total interest and dividend income and total interest expense was to increase net interest income. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, net interest income totaled $13,457,000, an increase of 9.1 percent or $1,123,000 over the first six months of 1997. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, net interest income totaled $6,867,000, an increase of $519,000 or 8.2 percent over the three months ended June 30, 1997. The variation in net interest income reflects the effects of the deposits assumed in the recent branch acquisitions, both in how the funds have been employed and the types of deposits assumed. It also reflects both local and national market conditions as well as the ALCO's efforts to manage the margin and asset growth. Provision for Loan Losses It is the policy of the Company to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is deemed appropriate based upon loan loss experience, the nature of the portfolio, the growth expected for the portfolio and the evaluation of the economic outlook for the current year and subsequent years. Special consideration is given to nonperforming and nonaccrual loans as well as factors that management feels deserve recognition during the entire life of the portfolio. The Company maintains a quarterly loan review program designed to provide reasonable assurance that the allowance is maintained at an appropriate level and that changes in the status of loans are reflected in the financial statements in a timely manner. The adherence to this policy may result in fluctuations in the provision for loan losses. Consequently, the increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses, discussed above, may not necessarily flow through to the net interest income after provision for loan losses. The process of identifying credit losses that may occur based upon current circumstances is subjective. Therefore, management maintains a general allowance to cover all credit losses within the entire portfolio. The methodology management uses to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve is as follows: -23- 1. Management reviews the larger individual loans (primarily in the commercial loan portfolio) for unfavorable collectibility factors (including impairment) and assesses the requirement for specific reserves on such credits. For those loans not subject to specific reviews, management reviews previous loan loss experience to establish historical ratios and trends in charge-offs by loan category. The ratios of net charge-offs to particular types of loans enables management to establish charge-offs in future periods by loan category and thereby establish appropriate reserves for loans not specifically reviewed. 2. Management reviews the current and anticipated economic conditions of its lending market to determine the effects on future loan charge-offs by loan category, in addition to the effects on the loan portfolio as a whole. 3. Management reviews delinquent loan reports to determine risk of future loan charge-offs. High delinquencies are generally indicative of an increase in future loan charge-offs. Given this methodology for determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, the provision for loan losses was higher in 1998, as compared to 1997. The provision amounted to $240,000 and $120,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. These provisions reflect the growth of the loan portfolio, the levels of past due accruing loans (90 days or more) and nonaccrual loans over the same periods. These levels of non-performing loans reflect both the general economic conditions that have promoted growth and expansion in the Company's trade area during the last several years, and a credit risk management strategy that promotes diversification. As of June 30, 1998, loans delinquent 30 days or more that were included in the accompanying financial statements as accrual loans totaled approximately $1,419,000. At June 30, 1998, there were loans totaling $2,455,000 on nonaccrual. At December 31, 1997, there were $2,870,000 in loans delinquent 30 days or more included as accruing loans in the financial statements and $1,058,000 in nonaccrual loans. At June 30, 1998, 51.4 percent of the Company's allowance for loan losses was classified as unallocated as compared to 57.7 percent classified as unallocated at December 31, 1997. To a large extent, this reflects the growth in total loans with the concentration of growth in the commercial loan portfolio. With the commercial loan growth and the expansion into new markets, management believes that it is prudent to continue to provide for loan losses, due to the inherent credit risk involved with the commercial loan portfolio. As part of the loan review process, management also reviews all loans classified as `special mention' or below, as well as other loans that might warrant application of SFAS No. 114 as amended by SFAS No. 118, `Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan'. As of June 30, 1998, loans totaling -24- $1,817,000 were classified as impaired. Based upon management's measurement of impairment in accordance with SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, no valuation allowance was required for these loans. No loans were classified as impaired as of December 31, 1997. Following is a summary of the loan loss experience for the six months ending June 30, 1998, and the year ending December 31, 1997. (Intentionally left blank) -25- June 30, December 31, 1998 1997 ------------- ------------- (in thousands) Amount of loans outstanding $ 487,322 $ 458,634 ------------- ------------- Average daily loans outstanding for the period $ 476,150 $ 414,033 ------------- ------------- Allowance for loan losses at the beginning of the period $ 5,308 $ 5,306 Charge-offs Commercial 9 99 Real estate 0 33 Installment 174 190 Credit card and personal credit lines 41 37 ------------- ------------ Total charge-offs 224 359 Recoveries Commercial 24 18 Real estate 0 0 Installment 31 66 Credit card and personal credit lines 3 8 ------------- ------------ Total recoveries 58 92 ------------- ------------ Net charge-offs 166 267 Provision charged to expense 240 269 ------------- ------------ Allowance for loan losses at the end of the period $ 5,382 $ 5,308 ============= ============ Ratio of annualized net charge-offs during the period to average daily loans during the period: Commercial (0.01%) 0.02% Real estate 0.00% 0.01% Installment 0.06% 0.03% Credit card and personal credit lines 0.02% 0.01% ------------- ------------ Total 0.07% 0.07% ============= ============ -26- Net interest income after provision for loan losses totaled $13,217,000 and $6,747,000 for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998. This represents increases of 8.2 percent and 7.3 percent over the same respective periods ended June 30, 1997. Noninterest Income Total noninterest income increased $1,686,000 or 48.4 percent to $5,171,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, from $3,485,000 recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 1997. Total noninterest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, was $2,731,000 which was $845,000 or 44.8 percent higher than the noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Trust fees, which represent basic recurring service fee income, decreased $18,000 or 2.8 percent to $622,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $640,000 for the first six months of 1997. Increases in testamentary trust fees, bond issue fees and agency fees were offset by declines in employee benefit plan fees, living trust fees and stock transfer service fees. For the three month period ended June 30, 1998, trust fees were $307,000, an increase of $26,000 over the fees for the same period in 1997. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 19.7 percent or $309,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, totaling $1,875,000, as compared to the same period in 1997. These service charges increased $161,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, over the amount recorded for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997. Fees on the LCB Club account (the Company's low cost checking account service), business checking account fees and overdraft fees were the primary sources for the increase. This increase also reflects the increase in deposit accounts associated with the recent acquisitions and growth of existing offices. Other income (net) consists of normal recurring fee income, as well as other income that management classifies as nonrecurring. Other income (net) increased 42.4 percent or $455,000 to $1,528,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. It increased $42,000 or 6.2 percent for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same months in 1997. The major increases in other income were the result of the gain on the sale of an office in the first quarter of 1998, increases in discount brokerage income and increases in ATM fees. The profits from the sale of mortgages during the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, totaled $627,000, as compared to $224,000 during the same period in 1997. For the second quarter of 1998 only, these profits were $452,000 as compared to $120,000 for the same period in 1997. These increases reflect the increase in the volume of mortgages sold during the first six months of 1998, as compared to the sales during the first six months of 1997. During the first six months of 1998, mortgages totaling $30,939,000 were sold -27- on the secondary market compared to $10,574,000 sold during the same period of 1997. Net investment security gains (losses) amounted to $519,000 and $266,000 for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $(18,000) for both the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1997. In the first six months of 1998, the security gains were primarily resulted from the sales of securities from the AFS portfolio with minor losses recorded from special calls of municipal securities in the HTM portfolio. In the first six months of 1997, special calls of zero coupon bonds were responsible for the small losses. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased $3,031,000 or 32.0 percent to $12,512,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the first six months of 1997. Noninterest expense increased $1,653,000 or 34.3 percent when comparing the three months ended June 30, 1998, to the three months ended June 30, 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, salaries and employee benefits increased to $6,639,000, a $1,378,000 increase or 26.2 percent as compared to the first six months of 1997. When comparing the three months ended June 30, 1998, to the same period in 1997, the increase was $619,000 or 22.7 percent. These increases reflect the staffing of eight new offices opened during 1997, three offices opened during 1998, as well as normal salary increases. Total employees increased to 471 at June 30, 1998, from 382 at June 30, 1997. The increase in total employees includes increases in branch personnel for the branches opened along with increases in clerical and administrative staff relating to the growth of the Company. For the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998, occupancy and equipment expenses were $1,820,000 and $942,000, a $263,000 increase or 16.9 percent and $168,000 or 21.7 percent from the same periods one year ago. This performance reflects the ordinary timing differences incurred with these types of expenses, as well as additional expense related to the new locations added and investments to remain competitive. These expenses are expected to continue to increase with the Company's continued growth and expansion. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, other expenses totaled $4,053,000 as compared to $2,663,000 during the same period in 1997. This is an increase of 52.2 percent or $1,390,000. For the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997, the increase was $866,000 or 65.1 percent. When comparing the first six months of 1998 to the same period of 1997, significant increases were noted in corporate and business development fees (up $129,000 or 26.3 percent), data processing fees (up $182,000 or 34.0 percent), supplies, postage and phone (up $ 255,000 or 39.2 percent), and courier and delivery fees (up $77,000 or 86.9 percent). When comparing the three months ending June 30, 1998, to the same period of 1997, significant -28- increases were noted in the same expenses, corporate and business development expense increased 30.2 percent, data processing expense increased 53.1 percent, supplies, postage and phone increased 63.8 percent and courier and delivery expense increased 86.4 percent. The amortization of intangibles totaled $468,000 for the first six months of 1998 and $253,000 for the second quarter only of 1998. The amortization of intangibles relates to the offices acquired during 1998 and the fourth quarter of 1997. Income Before Income Tax Expense As a result of the above factors, income before income tax expense was $5,876,000 for the first six months of 1998, as compared to $6,218,000 for the same period in 1997. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, income before income taxes was $3,000,000 as compared to $ 3,349,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense decreased to $1,839,000 for the first six months of 1998, as compared to $2,191,000 for the same period in 1997. This is a $352,000 or 16.1 percent decrease. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1998 decreased $184,000 or 16.0 percent as compared to the second quarter of 1997. These decreases are a result of adjustments in deferred tax assets and additional municipal income. The combined State franchise tax expense and the Federal income tax expense as a percent of income before income tax expense decreased to 31.3 percent during the first six months of 1998, as compared to 35.2 percent during the same period in 1997. It decreased to 32.2 percent for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 34.3 percent for the same three months in 1997. Currently the State franchise tax rate is 8.5 percent and is a deductible expense for computing Federal income tax. Net Income As a result of all factors indicated above, net income increased to $4,037,000 for the first six months of 1998, an increase of $10,000 from the $4,027,000 recorded over the same period in 1997. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $2,035,000 as compared to $2,200,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings per share for the first six months of 1998 were $.69 per share, which equaled the $.69 per share for the first six months of 1997, and $.35 per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the $.38 per share for the same period of 1997. The 1997 earnings per share have been restated to reflect a two-for-one stock split on May 15, 1998. Diluted earnings per share reflect the stock options granted during the second quarter of 1998 under the employee stock option plan approved by the shareholders in April, 1998. The stock options did not have a significant impact on earnings per share as diluted earnings per share are the -29- same as the basic earnings per share for both the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 1998. -30- LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION FORM 10-Q June 30, 1998 Part II - Other Information Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders At the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 14, 1998, the shareholders voted on the re-election of the four Class A Directors and the following five proposals. 1. Proposal to increase capital stock from 10,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares. 2. Proposal to delete Director's residency requirement from the Articles of Incorporation. 3. Proposal to delete super-majority voting from Articles of Incorporation. 4. Proposal to add consideration of community factors to Articles of Incorporation. 5. Proposal to approve Lakeland Financial Corporation 1997 Share Incentive Plan. All Class A Directors nominated for re-election received more than the required number of votes for approval and were therefore re-elected. All five proposals also received more than the required numbers of votes and were thereby approved. There were no other submissions of matters to a vote by security holders during the quarter ended June 30, 1998. -31- LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION FORM 10-Q June 30, 1998 Part II - Other Information Item 5 - Other Information Year 2000 Issues The Company relies heavily on computer technology to provide its products and services. Competitive pressures also require the Company to invest in and utilize current technology. Due to the reliance on this technology, the Year 2000 issue will have a pervasive effect on the Company's products, especially those with interest calculations, and the services it provides. It will also have an impact on the items necessary to remain competitive including customer information, and customer conveniences such as ATM's, telephone banking and debit cards. The potential financial impact on the Company can be segregated into three components; software costs, hardware costs, and other electrical and mechanical equipment costs. For the Company, the potential software costs are not anticipated to be material. The Company does not develop its own software but purchases processing and software from outside vendors. The hardware the Company uses consists primarily of personal computers, ATM's, telephone systems, and back room equipment such as document processing and imaging equipment. Recently the Company began updating its wide and local area networks (WAN/LAN) and its teller platform system as part of its continuing expansion and commitment to technology. The WAN/LAN and teller platform system being installed are Year 2000 compliant. The costs for upgrading to Year 2000 compliant hardware, outside the normal cost of business, are not anticipated to be material based upon the Company's review of its current hardware. The costs for upgrading other electrical and mechanical equipment, such as security equipment and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment, has not been determined. The Company is taking a proactive approach to the Year 2000 issue. A Year 2000 Task Force has been formed and is comprised of representatives from all major departments and includes involvement of an Executive Officer to provide senior management support and to report periodically to the Board of Directors on the Year 2000 effort. The task force has developed a plan of action to ensure the Company addresses the critical Year 2000 issues. A master inventory of all software and hardware in use by the Company has been compiled. All software vendors were requested to provide a written statement regarding their Year 2000 efforts and compliance. As of June 30, 1998, approximately 50 percent of the vendors have responded. FiServ, Pittsburgh, PA, is the primary -32- data processing vendor the Company uses. FiServ processes all the major applications for the Company including deposits, loans, and general ledger. FiServ is one of the leading data processing vendors for the banking industry and has indicated a commitment to being Year 2000 compliant by December, 1998. They maintain a website on the Internet and specifically address their Year 2000 efforts and have indicated their systems will be reviewed for Year 2000 compliance by McGladrey and Pullen. Recent communications from FiServ indicate they are still on schedule for compliance. The support and network software the Company uses is purchased from outside vendors. Any software where the vendor is unable to confirm the software is Year 2000 compliant, or does not provide a statement on Year 2000 compliance, will be evaluated to determine the potential impact of noncompliance and availability of alternative compliant software. As previously indicated, the hardware the Company uses primarily consists of personal computers, ATM's and various other equipment. All personal computers have been tested for Year 2000 compliance. The vendors of the ATM's and back room processing equipment used by the Company have been contacted regarding the compliance of the models used by the Company. All hardware failing the tests or known to be noncompliant will be evaluated as to the possible effect of noncompliance and the need for replacement. All purchases of software and hardware are processed through the MIS/Network Services Department of the Company. This is intended to ensure all new software and hardware or upgrades are compatible with existing systems and are Year 2000 compliant. Other electrical and mechanical equipment will also be evaluated as to reliance on computer software and the possible effect of the Year 2000. Major components of this equipment include security and HVAC equipment. The Company's security officer is to review all security equipment before the end of the third quarter, 1998 to determine the reliance on computer systems and the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue. The Company's facilities manager is to evaluate the other equipment such as HVAC and elevators to determine reliance on computer systems and obtain statements as to Year 2000 compliance from vendors as necessary. Other areas of concern being addressed by the task force include vendors that exchange information with the Company electronically, forms and documents that are produced externally, and customers. The Year 2000 compliance could have a major impact on the financial performance of the Company's customers which could affect both deposit relationships and the customer's ability to repay loans. All large corporate customers have been contacted regarding their Year 2000 efforts. Other customers will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the Company has conducted several seminars for corporate customers regarding the Year 2000 issue. These seminars have been well attended. -33- Based upon the Company's initial evaluations, becoming Year 2000 compliant is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In addition, management believes it is taking the necessary steps to ensure the Company's systems will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. On February 24, 1998, the FDIC reviewed the Company's Year 2000 efforts. No significant concerns were brought to management's attention during the review. In July, the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) performed a joint exam of the Company's Year 2000 efforts. No significant concerns were brought to the attention of management during this exam. -34- LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION FORM 10-Q June 30, 1998 Part II - Other Information Item 6 - Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) The following exhibits are filed as part of this report: Exhibit 3(ii) Restated By-laws of Lakeland Financial Corporation Exhibit 3(ii) Restated By-laws of Lake City Bank (b) Reports on Form 8-K: There were no reports on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant during the last 32 weeks ending August 8, 1998.

When payment of the consideration for which a share was authorized to be issued shall have been received by the Corporation, or when surplus shall have been transferred to stated capital upon the issuance of a share dividend, such share shall be declared and taken to be fully paid and not liable to any further call or assessment, and the holder thereof shall not be liable for any further payments thereon. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of such property, labor or services received as consideration, or the value placed by the Board of Directors upon the corporate assets in the event of a share dividend, shall be conclusive. Promissory notes, uncertified checks, or future services shall not be accepted in payment or part payment of the capital stock of the Corporation, except as permitted by The Indiana Business Corporation Law. SECTION 5. CERTIFICATE FOR SHARES.

SECTION 10. LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Corporation may cause a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates therefore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his, her or its legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum and in such form as it may direct to indemnify against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate.

This representative may be a member of the Board of Directors (in which case the representative shall not be entitled to vote upon the removal of the director), an officer of the Corporation or any other third party, who in any case shall have no interest in the actions or omissions to act giving rise to the proceeding. After the representative has made his or her presentation, the director shall have the opportunity to present evidence, whether documentary, -47- testimonial or otherwise, refuting the basis for the removal or suspension proceeding. The representative and the director shall have the opportunity to cross-examine any witnesses for the other side, to present rebuttal testimony, and to present summary statements.

SECTION 9. DIVIDENDS. The Board of Directors shall have power, subject to any restrictions contained in The Indiana Business Corporation Law or in the Articles of Incorporation and out of funds legally available therefor, to declare and pay dividends upon the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation as and when they deem expedient. Before declaring any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time in their absolute discretion deem proper for working capital, or as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall deem conductive to the interests of the Corporation and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. SECTION 10. FIXING OF RECORD DATE TO DETERMINE SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE CORPORATE BENEFITS. The Board of Directors may fix a day and hour not exceeding 50 days preceding the date fixed for payment of any dividend or for the delivery of evidence of rights, or for the distribution of other corporate benefits, or for a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, as a record time for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive any such dividend, rights or distribution, and in such case only shareholders of record at the time so fixed shall be entitled to receive such dividend, rights or distribution. If no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the end of the day on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted shall be the record date for such determination. SECTION 11. INTEREST OF DIRECTORS IN CONTRACTS. Any contract or other transaction between the Corporation or any corporation in which this -48- Corporation owns a majority of the capital stock shall be valid and binding, notwithstanding the directors or officers of this Corporation are identical or that some or all of the directors or officers, or both, are also directors or officers of such other corporation. Any contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or members or employees, or between the Corporation and any firm of which one or more of its directors are members or employees or in which they are interested, or between the Corporation and any corporation or association of which one or more of its directors are shareholders, members, directors, officers, or employees or in which they are interested, shall be valid for all purposes, notwithstanding the presence of such director of directors at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation which acts upon, or in reference to, such contract or transaction and notwithstanding his, her or their participation in such action, if the fact of such interest shall be disclosed or known to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors shall authorize, approve and ratify such contract or transaction by a vote of a majority of the directors present, such interested director or directors to be counted in determining whether a quorum is present, but not to be counted in calculating the majority of such quorum necessary to carry such vote.

The terms which may be affixed by each such committee include, but are not limited to, the price, dividend rate, and provisions of redemption, a sinking fund, conversion, voting, or preferential rights or other features of securities or class or series of a class of shares. Each such committee may have full power to adopt a final resolution which sets forth those terms and to authorize a statement of such terms to be filed with the Secretary of State. However, no such committee has the authority to declare dividends or distributions, amend the Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws, approve a plan of merger or consolidation even if such plan does not require shareholder approval, reduce earned or capital surplus, authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the Board of Directors, or recommend to the shareholders voluntary dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation thereof. No member of any such committee shall continue to be a member thereof after he or she ceases to be a Director of the Corporation. The calling and holding of meetings of any such committee and its -49- method of procedure shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

As used herein, "claim, action, suit or proceeding" shall include any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of this Corporation or such other corporation or otherwise), civil, criminal, administrative or -52- investigative, whether actual or threatened or in connection with an appeal relating thereto, in which a director, officer or employee of this Corporation may become involved, as a party or otherwise, (i) by reason of being or having been a director, officer or employee of this Corporation or such other corporation or arising out of his or her status as such or (ii) by reason of any past or future action taken or not taken in any such capacity, whether or not he or she continues to be such at the time such liability or expense is incurred. The terms "liability" and "expense" shall include, but shall not be limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements, amounts of judgments, fines or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of a director, officer or employee, but shall not in any event include any liability or expenses on account of profits realized in the purchase or sale of securities of the Corporation in violation of the law. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that a director, officer or employee did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph. Any such director, officer or employee who has been wholly successful with respect to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding shall be entitled to indemnification as a matter of right. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification hereunder shall be made only if (i) the Board of Directors acting by a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to or who have been wholly successful with respect to such claim, action, suit or proceeding shall find that the director, officer or employee has met the standards of conduct set forth in the preceding paragraph; or (ii) independent legal counsel shall deliver to the Corporation their written opinion that such director, officer or employee has met such standards of conduct. If several claims, issues or matters of action are involved, any such person may be entitled to indemnification as to some matters even though he or she is not entitled as to other matters. The Corporation may advance expenses to or, where appropriate, may at its expense undertake the defense of any such director, officer or employee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such expenses if it should ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable to claims, actions, suits or proceedings made or commenced after the adoption hereof, whether -53- arising from acts or omissions to act during, before or after the adoption hereof. The rights of indemnification provided hereunder shall be in addition to any rights to which any person concerned may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation against any liability asserted against and incurred in any capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Section or otherwise.
