              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Admiralty
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Admiralty Bank
(the "Bank") reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the Company's consolidated financial condition and the consolidated results of
operations and the consolidated cash flows for interim periods. The results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be
expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

On August 29, 2002, the boards of directors of the Company, RBC Centura Banks,
Inc. ("RBC Centura") and Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") adopted an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") that will result in the Company becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Centura. RBC Centura is the U.S. banking
subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada, which is Canada's largest financial
institution as measured by market capitalization and assets, and is one of North
America's leading diversified financial services companies. The full text of the
Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement for the Special
Shareholders' Meeting to be held on December 13, 2002, which proxy statement was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2002. The
Agreement and Plan of Merger was amended on October 25, 2002 to provide for an
early January 2003 closing date assuming all of the conditions of the merger are
satisfied.

The Company is incorporated in the state of Delaware and is registered with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a financial holding company.
The Bank is a Florida state chartered commercial bank, with its main office in
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and branches in Altamonte Springs, Boca Raton,
Cocoa Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Juno Beach, Jupiter, Orlando and Melbourne,
Florida. On March 11, 2000, the Company converted from a one bank holding
company to a financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial
Modernization Act of 1999 (the "Modernization Act"). This status permits the
Company to undertake financial activities which need not be closely related to
banking, such as insurance brokerage activities. Under the Modernization Act,
the Company's bank subsidiary must remain "well capitalized" (i.e., have a
leverage capital ratio of 5% or greater and a risk based capital ratio of 10% or
greater) and well managed, or the Company could be required to divest itself of
its non-banking activities. In addition, the Company must maintain a rating of
"satisfactory" or better under the Community Reinvestment Act.

The Company formed Admiralty Insurance Services, LLC ("AIS") as a joint venture
with USI Florida ("USI") to offer a wide range of insurance products, primarily
to customers of the Bank. USI and the Company were each 50 percent owners of
AIS. USI and AIS shared equally in commissions on policies sold, and the Company
was entitled to 50 percent of the net income of AIS. Under the agreement, USI
absorbed all costs incurred by AIS for operating expenses. AIS did minimal
business during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and $31
thousand in income was recognized during each period by the Company. In
accordance with a condition of the Merger Agreement, the Company terminated the
AIS joint venture on September 2, 2002.

NOTE 2 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations", ("Statement 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," ("Statement 142"). Statement 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after
September 30, 2001. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142.
Other intangible assets would continue to be amortized over their estimated
useful lives. In the transition, any impairment losses will be measured as of
the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in the first interim period.

The Company was required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately
and the Company adopted Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the date
of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of approximately
$3.2 million that is subject to the transition provisions of Statements 141 and
142. Pursuant to Statement 142, the Company will no longer amortize goodwill.
Amortization expense related to goodwill was $38 thousand and $116 thousand
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The
adoption of Statement 142 did not result in a transitional impairment loss. Net
income, basic net income per share and diluted net income per share for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, adjusted to eliminate the amortization of
goodwill, amount to $501 thousand, $0.09 and $0.09 respectively. Net income,
basic net income per share and diluted net income per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, adjusted to eliminate the amortization of goodwill,
amount to $1.1 million, $0.23 and $0.22 respectively.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("Statement 143"), which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Statement 143 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This Statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement 144") which supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" ("Statement 121") and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business. While
Statement 144 retains many of the fundamental provisions of Statement 121, it
establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale, and resolves certain implementation issues not previously addressed by
Statement 121. Statement 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. This Statement did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company computes basic and diluted net income per share in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income per share is computed by
dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common
stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period, to the extent
that such potential common stock is dilutive. Potential common stock consists of
the shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options.

On October 25, 2001, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend payable
in common stock to all stockholders of record as of November 9, 2001. For the
purpose of net income per share, the issuance of this stock dividend has been
effected as of January 1, 2001. The basic and diluted weighted average number of
shares outstanding and net income per share information for 2001 has been
restated to reflect the effects of this stock dividend.

The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

On August 29, 2002, the boards of directors of the Company, RBC Centura Banks,
Inc. ("RBC Centura") and Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") adopted an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") that will result in the Company becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of RBC Centura. RBC Centura is the U.S. banking
subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada, which is Canada's largest financial
institution as measured by market capitalization and assets, and is one of North
America's leading diversified financial services companies. The full text of the
Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement for the Special
Shareholders' Meeting to be held on December 13, 2002, which proxy statement was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2002. The
Agreement and Plan of Merger was amended on October 25, 2002 to provide for an
early January 2003 closing date assuming all of the conditions of the merger are
satisfied.


Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined under
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company desires to take
advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of Section 21E and is including this
statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of the
safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements, which are included in Management's Discussion and
Analysis, describe future plans or strategies and may include the Company's
expectations of future financial results. The words "believe", "expect",
"anticipate", "estimate", "project", and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the
effect of future plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes
based on market risk exposure is inherently uncertain. Factors which could
affect actual results include but are not limited to i) changes in general
market interest rates, ii) general economic conditions, both in the United
States generally and specifically in the Company's market area, iii)
legislative/regulatory changes, iv) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Treasury and the Federal Reserve, v) changes in the quality or composition of
the Company's loan and investment portfolios, vi) demand for loan products, vii)
deposit flows, viii) competition, and ix) demand for financial services in the
Company's markets. These factors should be considered in evaluating the
forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001

The Company generated net income of $1.6 million, or $0.30 per share basic and
$0.28 per share diluted, in the third quarter of 2002 compared to net income of
$463 thousand, or $0.09 per share basic and $0.08 per share diluted, in the
third quarter of 2001.

At September 30, 2002, the Company's total assets reached $595.5 million, an
increase of 19.7% over total assets at December 31, 2001. The Company's net
loans totaled $447.5 million, an increase of 14.6% over net loans at December
31, 2001, and the Company's deposits totaled $542.6 million, an increase of
20.8% over total deposits at December 31, 2001.

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. The Company's interest and dividend income
increased $564 thousand, or 6.9%, to $8.7 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 from $8.1 million for the same period of 2001. This increase
in interest income primarily relates to an increase in the Company's average
balance of earning assets, partially offset by a lower yield on those interest
earning assets. Average balances increased by $92.5 million for loans and $18.5
million for federal funds sold and the average balance for investment securities
(including Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB stock) decreased $1.4 million as
compared to the same quarter in 2001. The average yield on the loan portfolio
decreased to 7.0% in the third quarter of 2002, compared to 8.0% in the third
quarter of 2001. The average yield on federal funds sold decreased to 1.7% in
the third quarter of 2002 from 3.4% for the same period in 2001. The average
yield on investment securities, including Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stocks,
decreased to 5.4% in the third quarter of 2002 from 6.4% in the third quarter of
2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2002 the yield on the
Company's interest earning assets decreased to 6.4% from 7.5% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001. All decreases are due primarily to lower market
interest rates, as well management's decision to enhance the Company's liquidity
by increasing its investment in federal funds sold. Management believes the
liquidity will be needed both to fund future loan demand and to provide
liquidity as the Company's portfolio of certificates of deposit originated over
the internet continues to run off. The Company does not intend to emphasize this
method of origination of deposits in the future.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The Company's interest expense for the third quarter of 2002
decreased $979 thousand, or 24.7%, to $3.0 million from $4.0 million for the
same period last year. The decrease in interest expense reflects a lower cost of
funds on interest bearing liabilities partially offset by a 22.0% increase in
average interest bearing liabilities at September 30, 2002, as compared to the
same period in 2001. Total average deposits increased $112.5 million in the
third quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The average
balance of non-interest bearing demand deposits and money market deposits
increased by $30.6 million, and $77.3 million, respectively, in the third



                                       15
<PAGE>
quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001, with the average balance
of non-interest bearing demand deposits reaching $83.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 from $52.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. In addition, the average balance of the Company's time
deposits decreased $8.1 million, to $208.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 from $216.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001. The Company's average cost of deposits for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, decreased to 2.3% from 3.8% for the comparable period of
2001, primarily due to the lower rates of interest on deposit accounts. The
average balance of securities sold under agreement to repurchase was $2.9
million, and the average balance of other borrowings was $355 thousand at
average rates of 6.4% and 5.3% respectively, during the three months ended
September 30, 2002. In the quarter ended September 30, 2001 the average balance
of securities sold under agreement to repurchase was $5.9 million and the
average of other borrowings was $1.0 million, at average rates of 6.3% and 3.9%,
respectively. The Company's average cost of funds for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, decreased to 2.3% from 3.8% in the comparable period of 2001
due primarily to lower market interest rates.

NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Net interest and dividend income for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, increased by $1.5 million, or 37.1%, over the
same period last year. The Company's net interest margin increased 36 basis
points to 4.19% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the
comparable quarter of 2001. The decline is based primarily on management's
decision to increase the Company's liquidity to provide for continued loan
growth and to provide alternative liquidity as the Company's internet
certificate portfolio continues to roll off.

The Company's net interest spread increased 59 basis points to 3.65% for the
three months ended September 30, 2002, from 3.06% for the comparable period of
2001. The increased net interest spread reflects a greater decline in the
Company's cost of interest paying liabilities than the decline in its yield on
earning assets.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The determination of the allowance for loan losses,
and the related provision, is considered by management to be a critical
accounting policy and is based upon estimates made by management. The provision
for loan losses decreased to $372 thousand for the three months ended September
30, 2002, from $526 thousand in the same period of 2001, reflecting the slower
growth in the loan portfolio in the third quarter of 2002 as well as
management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio and its view of the
current state of the economy. The Company's provision for loan losses maintained
the allowance at a level management believes appropriate in light of the
Company's lending activities, the quality of the loan portfolio, collateral
maintained, historical experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the
Company, the status of past due and non-performing loans, the general economic
conditions of the Company's lending area and other factors affecting
collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company had no recoveries
and charged off $87 thousand against the allowance during the quarter. Total
classified loans increased to $880 thousand at September 30, 2002 from $532
thousand at June 30, 2002. The Company's ratio of non-performing assets to total
assets declined to 0.14% at September 30, 2002 from 0.19% at December 31, 2001.


                                       16
<PAGE>
While the Company's management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions, the financial status of borrowers and regulatory
requirements.

NON-INTEREST INCOME. For the third quarter of 2002, total non-interest income
increased $62 thousand, or 23.4%, to $327 thousand from $265 thousand in the
same period of last year. The increase includes $19 thousand more in service
charges and fees on deposit accounts and $25 thousand more in insurance
commissions earned by Admiralty Insurance Services, LLC, the Company's former
insurance affiliate.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, the
Company experienced increases of $49 thousand in its non-interest expense over
the comparable period of 2001. For the three-month period ended September 30,
2002, the Company's total non-interest expense was $3.2 million, compared to
total non-interest expense of $3.1 million for the same period in 2001. The
increase in non-interest expense in the three month period of 2002 reflects a
$117 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefit expense as the Company
hired additional staff to administer growth in its loan and deposit portfolios
and to staff its new full service branches in Altamonte Springs (which opened in
September 2001) and Fort Lauderdale (which opened in August 2001). Full time
equivalent employees increased to 120 at September 30, 2002, from 117 at
September 30, 2001. The increase in salaries and benefits is more than offset by
a decrease of $194 thousand in expense for the senior management incentive
program as the Company has suspended the program for 2002. Occupancy expense
increased by $16 thousand, or 3.5%, in the three months ended September 30, 2002
as compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in occupancy expenses
relates primarily to $24 thousand for expenses at the Fort Lauderdale branch
which opened in August 2001. Furniture and equipment expenses increased to $27
thousand in the third quarter of 2002 from $187 thousand in the third quarter of
2001. Increases to furniture and equipment expenses at the Fort Lauderdale and
Altamonte Springs offices were $9 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively, in
2002 while the Company did not have these locations for the full quarter in
2001. Due to the Company's adoption of SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets", the Company had no goodwill amortization in 2002 and $38 thousand for
the third quarter of 2001. The Company experienced a net increase of $122
thousand in other non-interest expenses in the third quarter of 2002 compared to
the same period in 2001. This increase includes increases of $17 thousand in
data processing, $34 thousand in amortization of SBA loan related assets, $22
thousand for courier services and $16 thousand in other real estate expenses.
The increase is partially offset by decreases of $13 thousand in business
development, and supplies and $16 thousand in donations. Other expenses were
also reduced by $52 thousand in director and committee fees and expenses, as the
Company suspended these payments for 2002. Other expenses for the third quarter
of 2002 also include $100 thousand paid to Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. for
their advisory services related to the merger agreement between the Company, RBC
Centura and Royal Bank of Canada. The Company also accrued $50 thousand in the
third quarter of 2002 toward legal expenses in connection with the merger
transaction.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased to $896 thousand for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $311 thousand for the same period last
year due to higher taxable income in the current quarter. The effective tax rate
for the third quarter of 2002 was 36.1% compared to 40.2% in the third quarter
of 2001. The reduced effective tax rate is attributable to relief of $81
thousand of the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset, non-deductible
expenses including the amortization of goodwill and a higher level of taxable
income in relation to the non-deductible expenses.

           Nine months Ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001

The Company generated net income of $4.5 million, or $0.85 per share basic and
$0.80 per share diluted, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to
net income of $934 thousand, or $0.20 per share basic and $0.19 per share
diluted, in the same period of 2001.

INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. The Company's interest and dividend income
increased $2.7 million, or 12.2%, to $25.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 from $22.3 million for the same period of 2001. This increase
in interest income primarily relates to an increase in the Company's average
balance of earning assets, partially offset by a lower yield on those interest
earning assets. Average balances increased by $122.3 million for loans, $4.5
million for investment securities (including Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB
stock) and $23.6 million for federal funds sold. The average yield on the loan
portfolio decreased to 7.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to 8.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The average yield
on federal funds sold decreased to 1.7% in the nine months ended September 30,
2002 from 4.4% for the same period in 2001. The average yield on investment
securities, including Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stocks, decreased to 5.6% in
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 6.6% in the same period of 2001.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the yield on the Company's
interest earning assets decreased to 6.4% from 8.0% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. All decreases are due primarily to lower market interest
rates.

INTEREST EXPENSE. The Company's interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 decreased $2.2 million, or 19.5%, to $9.1 million from $11.3
million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense reflects
a lower cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities partially offset by a
38.6% increase in average interest bearing liabilities at September 30, 2002, as
compared to the same period in 2001. Total average deposits increased $152.5
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same
period in 2001. The average balance of non-interest bearing demand deposits and
money market deposits increased by $29.9 million, and $64.6 million,
respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the
same period in 2001, with the average balance of non-interest bearing demand
deposits reaching $78.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
from $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. In addition,
the average balance of the Company's time deposits increased by $44.4 million,
to $227.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $183.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Company's average cost
of deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreased to 2.4% from
4.2% for the comparable period of 2001, primarily due to the lower rates of
interest on deposit accounts. The average balance of securities sold under
agreement to repurchase was $2.9 million, and the average balance of other
borrowings was $554 thousand at average rates of 6.5% and 2.9% respectively,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 the average balance of securities sold under agreement to
repurchase was $5.9 million and the average of other borrowings was $2.3


                                       19
<PAGE>
million, at average rates of 6.3% and 5.5%, respectively. The funds received in
the securities repurchase contract were for a three year term and therefore
reflect the market rate of interest for a three year borrowing when the
arrangement originated in October 1999. The Company's average cost of funds for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreased to 2.4% from 4.3% in the
comparable period of 2001 due primarily to lower market interest rates.

NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Net interest and dividend income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, increased by $4.9 million, or 44.9%, over the
same period last year.

The Company's net interest margin increased 12 basis points to 4.06% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year and the Company's net interest spread increased 45 basis points to 3.52%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from 3.07% for the comparable
period of 2001. The increase in net interest spread reflects a greater decline
in the Company's cost of interest paying liabilities than the decline in its
yield on earning assets. The decline in the cost of liabilities reflects current
lower market interest rates and a shift in the deposit mix toward lower cost
deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The determination of the allowance for loan losses,
and the related provision, is considered by management to be a critical
accounting policy and is based upon estimates made by management. The provision
for loan losses decreased to $625 thousand for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, from $1.6 million in the same period of 2001, reflecting the slower
growth in the loan portfolio in the nine months ended September 30, 2002;
management's assessment of the asset quality within the loan portfolio; as well
as management's view of the current state of the economy. The Company's
provision for loan losses maintained the allowance at a level management
believes appropriate in light of the Company's current lending activities,
management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, collateral
maintained, historical experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the
Company; the status of past due and non-performing loans; the general economic
conditions of the Company's lending area; and other factors affecting
collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company recovered $11
thousand of previously charged off loans and charged off $612 thousand against
the allowance during the period. Two loans with an aggregate balance of $248
thousand were transferred to other real estate during the nine month period. One
of the properties was subsequently sold with no material loss and the other
remains on the books and is currently under contract for sale. Total classified
loans were reduced to $880 thousand at September 30, 2002 from $1.6 million at
December 31, 2001. The Company's ratio of non-performing assets to total assets
decreased to 0.14% at September 30, 2002 from 0.19% at December 31, 2001. While
the Company's management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions, the financial status of borrowers and regulatory
requirements.

NON-INTEREST INCOME. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, total
non-interest income increased $47 thousand, or 5.3%, to $938 thousand from $891
thousand in the same period of last year. The increase includes $21 thousand
more in service charges and fees, $9 thousand more in gains on sales of loans
and $17 thousand more in miscellaneous other income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, the
Company experienced increases of $455 thousand in its non-interest expense over
the comparable period of 2001. For the nine month period ended September 30,
2002, the Company's total non-interest expense was $9.1 million, compared to
total non-interest expense of $8.6 million for the same period in 2001. The
increase in non-interest expense in the nine month period of 2002 reflects a $55
thousand increase in salaries and employee benefit expense as the Company hired
additional staff to administer growth in its loan and deposit portfolios and to
staff its new full service branches in south Orlando (which opened in March
2001), Cocoa Beach (which opened in April 2001), Altamonte Springs (which opened
in September 2001) and Fort Lauderdale (which opened in August 2001). The
increase in salaries and benefits is partially offset by a decrease of $395
thousand in expense for the senior management incentive program as the Company
has suspended the program for 2002. Occupancy expense increased $242 thousand in
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
The increase in occupancy expenses relates primarily to $65 thousand for the
Altamonte Springs office, $41 thousand for the South Orlando office, $9 thousand
for the Orlando office, $18 thousand for the Cocoa Beach office, $72 thousand
for the Fort Lauderdale office and $14 thousand for the administrative offices.
Furniture and equipment expenses increased to $630 thousand in the first nine
months of 2002 from $503 thousand in the comparable period of 2001. This
increase in furniture and equipment expenses relates primarily to the Altamonte
Springs, South Orlando, Downtown Orlando, Cocoa Beach and Fort Lauderdale
offices which were not open for the full nine month period in 2001. As discussed
above, the Company had no goodwill amortization in 2002 and $115 thousand in
goodwill amortization for the first nine months of 2001. The Company experienced
a net increase of $146 thousand in other non-interest expenses in the third
quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This increase includes
increases of $84 thousand in data processing expenses and $72 thousand in other
losses. The increases are partially offset by decreases of $58 thousand in
stationery and supplies, $46 thousand in business development and public
relations and $36 thousand in donations. Other operating expense also includes a
$162 thousand decrease in director and committee fees and expenses as the
Company suspended these payments for 2002. Other expenses for 2002 also include
$100 thousand paid to Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. for their advisory
services related to the merger agreement between the Company, RBC Centura and
Royal Bank of Canada. The Company also accrued $50 thousand in 2002 toward legal
expenses in connection with the merger transaction.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased to $2.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $660 thousand for the same period last
year due to higher taxable income in the current period. The effective tax rate
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 36.6% compared to 41.4% in the
same period in 2001. The reduced effective tax rate is attributable to relief of
$81 thousand of the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset, lower
non-deductible expenses including the amortization of goodwill and a higher
level of taxable income in relation to the non-deductible expenses.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

                September 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001

Total assets increased to $595.5 million, an increase of $98.0 million, or
19.7%, from total assets of $497.6 million at December 31, 2001. Changes in
total assets includes increases of $4.6 million in cash and non-interest bearing
due from banks, $39.6 million in federal funds sold, $57.1 million in net loans,
and $985 thousand in investment securities held to maturity. The change in total
assets also includes decreases of $3.6 million in investment securities
classified as available for sale, $285 thousand in interest bearing due from
banks, $163 thousand in premises and equipment net of amortization and accretion
and $163 thousand in other assets.

The $57.1 million increase in net loans is comprised primarily of increases of
$50.0 million in non-residential real estate loans, $9.6 million in residential
real estate loans and $3.0 million in construction loans. The Company
experienced a decrease of $5.3 million in commercial and industrial loans over
the nine month period. The net increase is the result of the management team's
continuing efforts to attract new business and expand relationships with
existing customers. There has been no significant change in the loan portfolio
mix at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001.

At September 30, 2002, federal funds sold increased by $39.6 million from
December 31, 2001. The increase is attributable primarily to management's
decision to increase liquidity through local deposits to fund its anticipated
run off of the portfolio of internet certificates as well as to fund anticipated
loan growth.

Total deposits increased 20.8%, to $542.6 million at September 30, 2002 from
$449.1 million at December 31, 2001. Deposits and the deposit mix are summarized
as follows:

                                     ========               ========

Money market accounts increased $68.1 million in the first nine months of 2002.
This increase reflects the market's acceptance of two, tiered rate money market
account products, which pay increased rates as the balance in the account
increases.

Time deposits decreased $5.6 million in the first nine months of 2002. The
Company subscribes to a deposit listing service on the internet which allows it
to post time deposit rates on a web site which is available to other subscribers
who use the site as an information source for investing in time deposits. The
deposits raised through this program are primarily deposits of credit unions,


                                       22
<PAGE>
savings banks and commercial banks at terms from ninety days to three years. A
substantial portion of the internet certificates are being allowed to run off at
maturity as the Company raises money locally. At September 30, 2002 the Company
had $23.5 million in deposits raised through this program compared to $106.1
million at December 31, 2001. The weighted average rate of the internet
portfolio at September 30, 2002 was 3.00%, the weighted average contractual life
was 10.7 months and the weighted average remaining life was 3.4 months.

The following table sets forth the average amounts of various types of deposits
for each of the periods indicated:

The decreased average yield on time deposits is primarily attributable to the
rollover of older higher rate certificates of deposit within the portfolio to
the lower rates currently being offered.

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $2.9 million at September
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. This repurchase transaction involved a $10.1
million FHLMC mortgage backed security, which was simultaneously purchased and
sold under agreement to repurchase, and which is classified as held to maturity.
The Company is required to maintain a specified margin between the market value
of the security and the amount advanced under the repurchase agreement.

During June 2002, the Company established a $3 million, revolving borrowing line
with one of the Bank's correspondent banks. The line, which is secured by 100
percent of the Bank's outstanding shares, is to be used by the Company solely
for the purpose of maintaining the Bank in a well capitalized status. The line
is for one year and bears interest at prime minus one percent, with a 4.75%
floor, with interest only payable quarterly. The $750 thousand in other
borrowings at September 30, 2002 represent funds drawn under the Company's
revolving line. In order to gain release of the stock securing this borrowing
line, the Company anticipates replacing the line of credit with a $5 million,
unsecured line of credit with RBC Centura during the fourth quarter of 2002. At
December 31, 2001 the $1.0 million other borrowing represents a FHLB advance.
The funds obtained when this advance was originated in February 2000 were used
toward the purchase of a $10.0 million GNMA II mortgage-backed security, of
which one half is classified as available for sale and one half is classified as
held to maturity. The security was pledged to secure the borrowing line and the

                                       23
<PAGE>
Company was required to maintain a specified margin between the market value of
the security and the amount advanced under the line. The FHLB advance was paid
off in April 2002 and the security is no longer pledged to the FHLB.

Accrued interest payable decreased $49 thousand, or 9.9%, due primarily to lower
rates being paid on interest paying liabilities partially offset by an increased
volume of interest paying liabilities. Other liabilities decreased $42 thousand,
or 5.6%, due primarily to a $22 thousand decrease in loan commitment fees on
loans not yet closed and other loan related fees, and a $72 thousand decrease in
accrued income taxes partially offset by a $52 thousand increase in other
accrued expenses.

ASSET QUALITY

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

Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (non-accrual
loans) as a result of principal or interest being contractually delinquent for a
period of 90 days or more. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest
accruals discontinue and all accumulated accrued interest receivable is backed
out of current period income. Until the loan becomes current, any payments
received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time
as management determines the financial condition of the borrower and other
factors merit recognition of such payments as interest.

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

Non-accrual loans increased to $723 thousand at September 30, 2002 from $524
thousand at December 31, 2001. The balance represents the unguaranteed portion
of four Small Business Administration loans and three conventional loans.
Management believes these loans are all adequately reserved and it does not
expect any material losses as a result of these credits.

The Company had $129 thousand in other real estate owned at September 30, 2002
representing a former restaurant. Management does not expect any material losses
from the disposition this property. The Company had no other real estate owned
at December 31, 2001.

thousand at December 31, 2001. No loans were past due 90 days or more and still

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company attempts to maintain an allowance for loan losses at a sufficient
level to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are
charged directly to the allowance when they occur and any recovery is credited
to the allowance. Our officers, outside, independent loan review auditors and
our Directors' Loan Committee analyze risks within the loan portfolio on an
ongoing basis. A risk system, consisting of multiple grading categories, is
utilized as an analytical tool to assess the risk and appropriate allowances.
Along with the risk system, management further evaluates risk characteristics of
the loan portfolio under current and anticipated economic conditions and
considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrower, past and
expected loss experience, and other factors management feels deserve recognition
in establishing an appropriate allowance. There were no significant changes in
loan concentrations, quality and terms during the nine months ended September
30, 2002, that resulted in a change in the allowance for loan losses. These
estimates are reviewed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary,
they are realized in the periods in which they become known. There were no
significant changes in the estimation methods or fundamental assumptions used in
the calculation of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002 compared
to December 31, 2001. Additions to the allowance are made by provisions charged
to expense and the allowance is reduced by net charge-offs (i.e., loans judged
to be uncollectible and charged against the allowance, less any recoveries on
such loans). Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level
deemed adequate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon
changes in market conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies

                                       25
<PAGE>
periodically review the Company's loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses.
These agencies may require the Company to take additional provisions based on
their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.

At September 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $4.9 million, an
increase of $24 thousand from December 31, 2001. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 the Company had charge-offs of $612 thousand, recoveries of
$11 thousand and provided a loan loss provision of $625 thousand. The
charge-offs primarily relate to two loans previously identified as problem
loans, a partial charge-off of the unsecured portion of two other loans and the
charge-off of an overdrawn deposit account.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
At September 30, 2002, the Company's investment securities portfolio, both held
to maturity and available for sale, totaled $51.0 million, a decrease of $2.6
million, from total investment securities of $53.6 million at December 31, 2001.
The Company invested primarily in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency securities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, $14.4
million of the Company's investment securities were classified as available for
sale and $36.6 million were classified as held to maturity. At December 31,
2001, $18.0 million and $35.6 million of securities were classified as available
for sale and held to maturity, respectively.

The Company classifies all of its investment securities as available for sale or
held to maturity; it has no securities held for trading.

LIQUIDITY

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

As is disclosed under "Deposits", a substantial portion of the Company's deposit
portfolio consists of time deposits, including time deposits originated through
the internet deposit listing service used by the Company. These deposits are
generally of short to intermediate term, with terms generally from 90 days to
three years. The proceeds of these deposits have been invested in longer term
assets, primarily commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company will
need to maintain these deposits, or find alternative sources of liquidity, in
order to maintain these assets. Although management believes a substantial
amount of the existing time deposits will renew, or substitute deposits will be
originated, the need to maintain this liquidity may impact the Company's ability
to react to changes in market rates of interest. As is discussed below,
management also believes the Company has substantial alternative sources of
liquidity.

Net cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $6.2 million in the
first nine months of 2002 compared to $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001.

                                       26
<PAGE>
Net cash used in investing activities was $55.7 million in the period ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $162.6 million in the comparable period of 2001.
Net cash provided by the Company's investment portfolio was $2.8 million in the
first nine months of 2002, while in the comparable period of 2001 it used $18.5
million for its securities portfolio. Additionally, the Company used $57.9
million and $140.7 million for net loans and loan sales in the first nine months
of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The change in the level of cash used for the
investment and loan portfolios reflects management's moderation of the Company's
growth rate.

Net cash provided by the Company's financing activities was $93.3 million in the
first nine months of 2002, and $183.0 million in the comparable period of 2001.
The increase in 2002 was due to a $93.5 million increase in deposits, $750
thousand in borrowings from a correspondent bank and $65 thousand received from
the exercise of stock options. The 2002 increases were partially offset by
repayment of $1.0 million in FHLB advances. Deposits provided an increase of
$172.9 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock provided $13.1
million while repayment of FHLB borrowings used $3.0 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.

As a state chartered commercial bank, the Bank is required to maintain a daily
liquidity position equal to at least 15 percent of its total transaction
accounts and 8 percent of its total non-transaction accounts, less those
deposits of public funds for which security has been pledged. As of September
30, 2002, the Bank had a liquidity ratio of 23.1% which was adequate to meet the
statutory requirement. The primary source of the Bank's liquidity is federal
funds sold - overnight loans to major commercial banks. At September 30, 2002,
federal funds sold totaled $60.8 million. Funds not required to meet loan and
deposit demand were invested primarily in U.S Treasury and U.S. Government
Agency securities. The Bank considers these investments to be secondary sources
of liquidity. The Bank's investment securities classified as available for sale
had a carrying value of $14.4 million at September 30, 2002.

An additional external source of liquidity is an unsecured $12 million federal
funds overnight borrowing line of credit and a secured line of credit with a
correspondent bank. The Company's unencumbered investment securities are the
collateral for the secured line of credit and serve to determine the total
amount available under the line. At September 30, 2002, no funds were drawn
under either the secured or unsecured line. The Company did not draw on either
the secured or unsecured lines of credit during the nine months ended September
30, 2002. The Company also maintains a line of credit at the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta secured by first lien residential mortgages.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The shareholders of the Company approved a resolution to amend the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation at the annual meeting held April 26, 2002. The
amendment eliminates the Company's Class A common stock (1,000,000 shares) and
re-designates the Class B common stock (7,500,000 shares) as Common Stock
(8,500,000 shares).

Total stockholders' equity increased to $48.1 million at September 30, 2002 from
$43.3 million at December 31, 2001. September 30, 2002 equity was affected by
net income of $4.5 million, an increase of $65 thousand for stock options
exercised, and an increase of $245 thousand in net unrealized gains on available
for sale securities.

At September 30, 2002, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements

On March 11, 2000, the Company converted from a one bank holding company to a
financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization
Act of 1999 (the "Modernization Act"). This status permits the Company to
undertake financial activities which need not be closely related to banking,
such as insurance brokerage activities. Under the Modernization Act, the
Company's bank subsidiary must, among other requirements, remain "well
capitalized" or the Company could be required to divest itself of its
non-banking activities. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $750 thousand
drawn against this credit line which was used toward a capital investment in the
Bank.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The financial statements of the Company and notes hereto, presented elsewhere
herein, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and
due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of
the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the
assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary. As a result, interest rates
have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of
general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 3.  QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's operations may be subject to a variety of market risks, the most
material of which is the risk of changing interest rates. Most generally,
interest rate risk ("IRR") is the volatility in financial performance,
attributable to changes in market interest rates, which may result in either
fluctuation of net interest income or changes to the economic value of the
equity of the Company.

The principal objective of the Company's IRR management activities is to provide
maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the
Company.

Consistent with its definition of IRR, the Company measures earnings at risk and
value at risk. To measure earnings at risk, the Company utilizes an income
simulation model which starts with a detailed inventory of balance sheet items
and factors in the probability of the maturity and repricing characteristics of
assets and liabilities, including assumed prepayment risks. Simulation of net
interest income takes into account the relative sensitivities of these balance
sheet items to dynamic rates and projects their behavior over an extended period
of time. Simulation analysis of net interest income reflects both the
possibility and probability of the behavior of balance sheet items.

In addition to simulating net interest income to measure earnings at risk, the
Company also measures IRR from the perspective of value at risk. Such analysis
is the measurement and management of IRR from the longer term perspective of the
economic value of the equity of the Company. This is performed through Net
Portfolio Value (NPV) analysis which is intended to address the changes in
equity value arising from movements in interest rates. The NPV analysis first
reprices all of the assets and liabilities under the current interest rate
environment, then compares this result to repricing under a changed interest
rate environment, thus evaluating the impact of immediate and sustained interest
rate shifts across the current interest rate yield curve on the market value of
the current balance sheet. A significant limitation inherent in NPV analysis is
that it is static. Consequently, there is no recognition of the potential for
strategy adjustments in a volatile rate environment which would protect or
conserve equity values.

Changes in the estimates and assumptions made for IRR analysis could have a
significant impact on projected results and conclusions. These analyses involve
a variety of significant estimates and assumptions, including, among others: (1)
estimates concerning assets and liabilities without definite maturities or
repricing characteristics; (2) how and when yields on interest-earning assets
and costs of interest-bearing liabilities will change in response to movement of
market interest rates; (3) prepayment speeds; (4) future cash flows; and (5)
discount rates. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the
impact of general market interest rate movements on the Company's net interest
income or the value of its economic equity.

The Company's most recent available information, as of June 30, 2002, indicates
if interest rates increase 200 basis points or decrease 100 basis points from
current rates at a steady pace over the twelve months succeeding the analysis
date, the Company would expect net interest income to increase 4.9% or decrease
3.3%, respectively. In addition, based on an immediate and sustained 200 basis
point increase or decrease, the Company would expect its estimated Net Portfolio
Value to increase $13.6 million or decrease $14.4 million, respectively. The
change in Net Portfolio Value is caused by the mix in the Company's portfolios
of interest earning assets and interest paying liabilities. Variable and
adjustable rate loans make up 65%, or $377 million, of the Company's assets.
Interest bearing deposits total $445 million and borrowings total $2.9 million
at the simulation date. The Company's interest earning assets tend to reprice
faster than its interest bearing liabilities. Therefore, during periods of
falling interest rates, the Company's earning assets are expected to reprice
faster than its paying liabilities. This repricing difference results in a
reduction in the Net Portfolio Value in a falling rate environment. In a rising
rate environment the Company would also expect its earning assets to reprice
faster than its paying liabilities resulting in an increase in the Net Portfolio
Value.



ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly

principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures
are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of their evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

                                                                    ------------


                               RETENTION AGREEMENT


     AGREEMENT, dated as of August 29, 2002, by and between Admiralty Bancorp,

     WHEREAS, the Employee currently serves as an employee of the Company;

     WHEREAS, Royal Bank of Canada, a Canadian chartered bank ("RBC"), RBC

(the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the Seller will merge with and into
a subsidiary of RBC Centura;

     WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the Employee's contribution to the growth
and success of the Company and desires to provide for the continued employment
of the Employee after the "CLOSING DATE" (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
and to make certain changes in the Employee's employment arrangements with the

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee,
and the Employee hereby agrees to work in the employ of the Company, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the consummation of the "Merger"

     2.   TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a)  POSITION AND DUTIES.

               (ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of
     vacation and sick leave to which the Employee is entitled, the Employee
     agrees to devote substantially all of the Employee's business attention and
     time to the business and affairs of the Company and to use the Employee's
     reasonable best efforts to perform such responsibilities. During the
<PAGE>
     Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the
     Employee to (A) serve, with prior approval of the Board, on corporate,
     civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill
     speaking engagements and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such
     activities do not interfere with the performance of the Employee's
     responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this
     Agreement.

          (b)  COMPENSATION.

               (i) Annual Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the
     Employee shall receive an annual base salary of at least $________ ("ANNUAL
     BASE SALARY") payable in accordance with the Company's payroll practices.

     be eligible to receive a cash bonus ("BONUS") in connection with the
     Employee's participation in the [annual short term incentive/sales
     tracking] bonus program of RBC Centura, as in effect from time to time, on
     terms consistent with similarly situated employees of RBC Centura.

               (iii) [Long Term Incentive Plan. During the Employment Period,
     the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the long term incentive
     plan of RBC Centura ("LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN") on terms consistent with
     similarly situated employees of RBC Centura.]

               (iv) Retention Bonus. As soon as practicable following the second
     anniversary of the Closing Date, the Employee shall receive a retention
     bonus ("RETENTION BONUS") of $________; provided that the Employee remains

          (c)  BENEFITS.

               (i) Employee Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, except
     as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Employee shall be entitled to
     participate in all employee benefit and other plans, practices, policies
     and programs and fringe benefits on a basis no less favorable than that
     provided to other similarly situated employees of RBC Centura.

               (ii) [Car Allowance. During the Employment Period, the Employee
     shall be entitled to receive an automobile allowance of $____ per month;
     provided that the Employee agrees to comply with all reporting requirements
     of the Company, which will not require the submission of mileage reports.]

     3.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a)  DEATH OR DISABILITY. The Employee's employment shall terminate
automatically upon the Employee's death during the Employment Period. If the

                                       -2-
<PAGE>
Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Employee has
occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability
set forth below), it may give to the Employee written notice in accordance with
Section 8(b) of its intention to terminate the Employee's employment. In such
event, the Employee's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on
the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Employee (the "DISABILITY
EFFECTIVE DATE"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Employee shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Employee's
duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "DISABILITY" shall have the meaning
ascribed under the long term disability plan of RBC Centura.

          (b)  CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Employee's employment during
the Employment Period with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement,
"CAUSE" shall mean:

               (i) the failure by the Employee to substantially perform the
     Employee's responsibilities, after written demand for substantial
     performance has been given by the Company that specifically identifies how
     the Employee has not performed such responsibilities, the requirements for
     correcting such deficiency and a reasonable period to correct such
     deficiency;

               (ii) the engaging by the Employee in illegal conduct or gross
     misconduct which causes financial or reputational harm to the Company or
     its affiliates;

               (iii) the conviction of a misdemeanor involving theft or
     dishonesty or any felony or a guilty or nolo contendere plea by the
     Employee with respect thereto;

               (iv) the breach by the Employee of any written policies of the
     Company or its affiliates, including the breach of the guiding principles
     and code of conduct of the RBC Financial Group ("CODE OF CONDUCT");

               (v) the breach by the Employee of Section 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c); or

               (vi) the engaging by the Employee in fraud or misappropriation of
     the funds or property of the Company or its affiliates.

          (c)  GOOD REASON. The Employee's employment may be terminated by the
Employee with or without Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "GOOD
REASON" shall mean in the absence of a written consent of the Employee:

               (i) any reduction in Annual Base Salary as set forth in Section
     2(b)(i), other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not
     occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after
     receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee; or

                                       -3-
<PAGE>
               (ii) any requirement that the Employee shall be based anywhere
     more than 40 miles from the office where the Employee is located
     immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, placing the Employee on a paid leave, pending the
determination of whether there is a basis to terminate the Employee for Cause,
shall not constitute a "Good Reason" event; provided, further, that, if the
Employee is subsequently terminated for Cause, then the Employee shall repay any
amounts paid by the Company to the Employee during such paid leave period.

          (d)  NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any termination by the Company or by the
Employee shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto given in accordance with Section 8(b). For purposes of this Agreement, a
"NOTICE OF TERMINATION" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for termination of the Employee's employment under the
provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below)
is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the Date of
Termination.

          (e)  DATE OF TERMINATION. "DATE OF TERMINATION" means (i) if the
Employee's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Disability,
the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified
therein within 30 days of such notice, (ii) if the Employee's employment is
terminated by the Employee, 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Termination
(provided, that, the Company may accelerate the Date of Termination to an
earlier date by providing the Employee with notice of such action placing the
Employee on paid leave during such period) and (iii) if the Employee's
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death of the Employee or the Disability
Effective Date, as the case may be.

     4.   OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UPON TERMINATION.

          (a)  OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE; FOR GOOD REASON. If, during the Employment
Period, the Company shall terminate the Employee's employment other than for
Cause or Disability, or the Employee shall terminate employment for Good Reason,
the Company shall have no further obligations to the Employee other than:

               (i) the Company shall pay to the Employee ratably over the three
     (3) months following the Date of Termination (with payments being made at
     the beginning of each such month) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the
     amount equal to the Employee's Annual Base Salary through the Date of
     Termination to the extent theretofore unpaid plus (B) the amount equal to
     three (3) months of the Employee's Annual Base Salary as in effect on the
     Date of Termination plus (C) the pro-rata portion of the Retention Bonus
     calculated for the period from the Closing Date through the Date of
     Termination; and
                                       -4-
<PAGE>
               (ii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company
     shall timely pay or provide to the Employee any other amounts or benefits
     required to be paid or provided or which the Employee is eligible to
     receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or other contract or
     agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies through the Date of
     Termination, (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred
     to as the "OTHER BENEFITS").

          (b)  DEATH; DISABILITY. If, during the Employment Period, the
Employee's employment shall terminate on account of death or Disability, the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Employee other than to provide
the Employee (or the Employee's estate) (i) the Annual Base Salary through the
Date of Termination to the extent theretofore unpaid and (ii) the Other
Benefits.

          (c)  FOR CAUSE. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall
terminate the Employee's employment for Cause or the Employee terminates the
Employee's employment without Good Reason, the Company shall have no further
obligations to the Employee other than the obligation to pay to the Employee (i)
the Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent theretofore
unpaid and (ii) the Other Benefits.

          (d)  CONDITION. The Company shall not be required to make the payments
and provide the benefits specified in this Section 4 unless the Employee
executes and delivers to the Company an agreement releasing the Company, its
affiliates and its officers, directors and employees from all liability (other
than the payments and benefits due under this Agreement) in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.

     5.   COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE OR SOLICIT COMPANY CLIENTS AND EMPLOYEES;
          CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

          (a)  NON-COMPETE. During the Employee's employment with the Company
and during the Protected Period, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly
(without the prior written consent of the Company):

               (i) hold a 5% or greater equity (including stock options whether
     or not exercisable), voting or profit participation interest in a
     Competitive Enterprise, or

     members, partner, consultant, agent or advisor) with a Competitive
     Enterprise and in connection with the Employee's association engage, or
     directly or indirectly manage or supervise personnel engaged, in any

     Employee's activities with the Company or its affiliates during the 12
     months prior to the Date of Termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, "PROTECTED PERIOD" means (i) if the Employee's
employment is terminated by the Employee for any reason that does not constitute
Good Reason or if the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for
Cause, the remainder of the Employment Period and (ii) if the Employee's
employment is terminated by the Company for any reason except for Cause, a six
(6) month period after the date the Employee's employment is terminated or the
remainder of the Employment Period, whichever is less.

For purposes of this Agreement, "COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE" means any business or
enterprise that (A) is involved, directly or indirectly, in the business of
banking or other financial services in the State of Florida or (B) holds a 5% or
greater equity, voting or profit participation interest in any enterprise that
engages in such a competitive activity.

          (b)  NON-SOLICIT. During the Employee's employment with the Company
and during the Protected Period, the Employee shall not, in any manner, directly
or indirectly (without the prior written consent of the Company): (i) Solicit
any Client to transact business with a Competitive Enterprise or to reduce or
refrain from doing any business with the Company, (ii) transact business with
any Client that would cause the Employee to be a Competitive Enterprise, (iii)

employee of the Company within the prior 12 months and a party to a retention
agreement with the Company dated as of the date hereof) to resign from the
Company or to apply for or accept employment with any other business or
enterprise.

For purposes of this Agreement, a "CLIENT" means any client or prospective

as an employee of the Company, the Employee will be making use of, acquiring and
adding to Confidential Information of a special and unique nature and value
relating to the Company and its strategic plan and financial operations. The
Employee further recognizes and acknowledges that all Confidential Information

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
is the exclusive property of the Company, is material and confidential, and is
critical to the successful conduct of the business of the Company. Accordingly,
the Employee hereby covenants and agrees that the Employee will use Confidential
Information for the benefit of the Company only and shall not at any time,
directly or indirectly, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter,
divulge, reveal or communicate any confidential information to any person, firm,
corporation or entity whatsoever, or use any Confidential Information for the
Employee's own benefit or for the benefit of others.

For purposes of this agreement, "Confidential Information" includes, but is not
limited to, the following: financial and compensation information, business
strategies, plans, methodologies, client records, client lists, proposals,
training materials, computer software, operations and organizational and
personnel matters (including information regarding any aspect of the Employee's
tenure as an employee of the Company or of the termination of such employment).

          (d)  SURVIVAL. Any termination of the Employee's employment or of this
Agreement (or breach of this Agreement by the Employee or the Company) shall
have no effect on the continuing operation of this Section 5.

          (e)  VALIDITY. The terms and provisions of this Section 5 are intended
to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more
of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the validity nor the
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall thereby be
affected; provided, that, if Section 5(a) is finally determined not to be
enforceable as written, the Company's obligation to make or provide any future
payments or benefits under Section 4(a) shall cease. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the potential restrictions on the Employee's future employment
imposed by this Section 5 are reasonable in both duration and geographic scope
and in all other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction
shall find any provisions of this Section 5 unreasonable in duration or
geographic scope or otherwise, the Employee and the Company agree that the
restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest
extent allowed under applicable law in such jurisdiction.

          (f)  CONSIDERATION. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement would
not have been entered into and the benefits described in Section 2 or 4 would
not have been promised in the absence of the Employee's promises under this
Section 5.

          (g)  CEASE PAYMENTS. In the event that the Employee breaches Section
5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), the Company's obligation to make or provide payments or
benefits under Section 4 shall cease and any payments made thereunder shall be
repaid by the Employee.

          (h)  NOTICE TO NEW EMPLOYERS. Before the Employee commences employment
with any other person or entity while any of Section 5(a), 5(b), or 5(c) is in
effect, the Employee will provide the prospective employer with written notice
of the provisions of this Section 5 and will deliver a copy of the notice to the
Company.

     6.   SUCCESSORS.

          (a)  This Agreement is personal to the Employee and without the prior
written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Employee otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any purported or
attempted assignment shall be null and void. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's legal representatives.

          (b)  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the Company and its successors and assigns.

          (c)  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume
expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid.

     7.   DISPUTES.

          (a)  MANDATORY ARBITRATION. Subject to the provisions of this Section
7, any controversy or claim between the Employee and the Company arising out of
or relating to or concerning this Agreement (including the covenants contained
in Section 5) or any aspect of the Employee's employment with the Company or the
termination of that employment (together, an "EMPLOYMENT MATTER") will be
finally determined by arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida administered by
the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in effect. However, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration
Rules will be modified in the following ways: (i) each arbitrator will agree to
treat as confidential evidence and other information presented to them, (ii)
there will be no authority to award punitive damages (and the Employee and the
Company agree not to request any such award), (iii) subject to 7(b) below, the
optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protections will apply, (iv) there will
be no authority to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement except as
provided in Section 8(a) (and the Employee and the Company agree not to request
any such amendment or modification) and (v) a decision must be rendered within
ten business days of the parties' closing statements or submission of
post-hearing briefs.

          (b)  INJUNCTIONS AND ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRATION AWARDS. The Employee
or the Company may bring an action or special proceeding in a state or federal
court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Palm Beach County, Florida to
confirm, modify or vacate any arbitration award under Section 7(a). Also, the
Company may bring such an action or proceeding, in addition to its rights under
Section 7(a) and whether or not an arbitration proceeding has been or is ever
initiated, to temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enforce any part of
Section 5 or obtain any other interim, extraordinary or preliminary injunctive
relief available under governing law.

<PAGE>
          (c)  JURISDICTION AND CHOICE OF FORUM. THE EMPLOYEE AND THE COMPANY
IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT
LOCATED IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA OVER ANY EMPLOYMENT MATTER THAT IS NOT
OTHERWISE ARBITRATED OR RESOLVED ACCORDING TO SECTION 7(A). This includes any
action or proceeding to compel arbitration or to confirm, modify or vacate an
arbitration award. Both the Employee and the Company (i) acknowledge that the
forum stated in this Section 7(c) has a reasonable relation to this Agreement
and to the relationship between the Employee and the Company and that the
submission to the forum will apply even if the forum chooses to apply non-forum
law, (ii) waive, to the extent permitted by law, any objection to personal
jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding covered by
this Section 7(c) in the forum stated in this Section 7(c), (iii) agree not to
commence any such action or proceeding in any forum other than the stated in
this Section 7(c) and (iv) agree that, to the extent permitted by law, a final
and non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding in any such court
will be conclusive and binding on the Employee and the Company. However, nothing
in this Agreement precludes the Employee or the Company from bringing any action
or proceeding in any court for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of
Section 7(a) and this Section 7(c).

          (d)  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
EMPLOYEE AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT
TO ANY EMPLOYMENT MATTER.

          (e)  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN THAT STATE.

     8.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions

compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Employee or the Company may have hereunder, including, without
limitation, the right of the Employee to terminate employment for Good Reason
pursuant to Section 3(c) or the Company's right to terminate the Employee for
Cause pursuant to Section 3(b) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

          (f)  It is the parties' intention that this Agreement not be construed
more strictly with regard to the Employee or the Company.

          (g)  From and after the Closing Date, this Agreement shall supersede

this Agreement unless otherwise stated.
