Jackson Bank & Trust
Gainesboro, Tennessee
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Jackson Bank & Trust as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jackson Bank & Trust as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization and Description of Business
Jackson Bank & Trust is a state chartered financial institution which serves as a full service bank in its trade area, with offices in Jackson and Putnam County, Tennessee. The bank makes investments in debt securities and federal funds with other banks and grants commercial, installment and residential mortgage loans throughout its trade area. The bank's primary deposit products are interest bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposits. Although the bank has diversified investment and loan portfolios, a substantial portion of the portfolios are invested in United States and federal agency obligations and borrowers with real estate pledged as collateral.
Investment Securities
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately, net of tax, through a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost, that are other than temporary, result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the period to maturity.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, are reported at their outstanding principal balance, net of any charge-offs. Interest is calculated by using the simple interest method on the principal amount outstanding.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. When the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a specific reserve allocation which is a component of the allowance for loan losses.
JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued:
Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well collateralized and in the process of collection. If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful or is partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as nonaccrual. At management’s discretion, loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full or principal and/or interest is in doubt.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. Loans are charged off when they are deemed uncollectible by management. Loans are considered to be past due if they have not been collected according to contractual terms.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or grading of loans and comparing them to a historical moving average. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the value of impaired loans are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses. Because of uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, management's estimate of credit losses and the related allowance may change in the near term. Therefore, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and minor improvements are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the depreciable assets.

Other Real Estate Owned
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of the bank’s carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real estate.
Other real estate owned totaled $88,300 as of December 31, 2004 and $109,340 as of December 31, 2003.
Advertising Costs
All costs associated with advertising and promotion are expensed in the year incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $75,790 and $94,286, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits in other banks and federal funds sold.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued:
The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions or other factors. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The bank has federal funds sold to and amounts due from correspondent banks in excess of federally insured deposit amounts. The bank monitors the capital adequacy of these other institutions on a quarterly basis.
Federal Home Loan Bank
The bank has a restricted investment of $ 1,803,600 for 2004 and $1,732,300 for 2003 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. This is a required investment which is nontransferable as stipulated by the Federal Home Loan Bank advance program. The bank has Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $11,012,861 for 2004 and $11,025,678 for 2003. These advances are secured by a blanket pledge of collateral consisting of all of the bank’s liens on 1-4 family residential properties. The bank has 1-4 family residential property liens of approximately $59,380,000 for 2004 and $53,020,000 for 2003.
Fair values of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. It is the opinion of management that in the current rate environment and with the average length of the maturities in the portfolios, no material differences exist between the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet and the fair market value.
JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the bank in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, due from banks and federal funds sold, approximate those assets' fair values.
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposits: The fair values for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Stock Option Plan
The Board of Directors has established the Incentive Stock Option and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the Plan) which provides for the granting of stock options for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 89,929 shares of common stock to key employees and directors. The Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the Committee), has the discretion to grant nonstatutory options to any director, incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options to key employees, or stock option appreciation rights to any participant receiving nonstatutory stock options.
The purchase price for stock under each nonstatutory stock option shall be 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted, unless the Committee determines otherwise. The purchase price for stock under each incentive stock option shall not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock at the time the incentive stock option is granted. The Committee has not issued nonstatutory options at an exercise price less than 100 percent of the fair market value of a share of stock and, therefore, the bank has not been required to recognize compensation expense for its stock option plan.
JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued:
The bank applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the bank’s stock option plan been determined based on the minimum value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method prescribed by FASB Statement No.123, the bank’s net income for 2004 would have been adjusted from the reported amount of $1,724,162 to the pro forma amount of $1,698,826. The bank’s net income for 2003 would have been adjusted from the reported amount of $1,575,314 to the proforma amount of $1,549,979.
Per Share Data
Basic net income per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS No. 123R”). This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. Under APB No. 25, issuing stock options to employees generally resulted in recognition of no compensation cost. SFAS No. 123R requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period which is usually the vesting period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of January 1, 2006. The bank is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 123R to determine its impact on our future financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued:
In March 2004, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) concluded its discussion of Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” A consensus was reached regarding disclosures about unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt and equity securities accounted for under FASB Statements No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and No. 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations.” The EITF provided guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. Initially, this guidance was to be applied in other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The EITF has subsequently delayed the effective date of this pronouncement as it relates to other-than-temporary impairment valuation pending further discussion of the definition of “other-than-temporarily impaired.” The EITF consensus also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures which were effective in annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, for investments accounted for under Statements No. 115 and No.124. For all other investments within the scope of this Issue, the disclosures are effective in annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The additional disclosures for cost method investments are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The EITF consensus is not expected to have a material effect on the bank’s financial statements.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46-R”). This Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46-R is to be applied to variable interest entities by January 1, 2005. The bank’s adoption of FIN 46-R will not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans and debt securities acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference on the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as an impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2004. The bank does not anticipate that the adoption of SOP 03-3 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale amounted to $7,405,994 and $1,196,892, respectively. Gross realized gains amounted to $62,457 and $30,869, respectively. Gross realized losses amounted to $35,080 and $933, respectively.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2004, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES - continued:
The unrealized losses on the bank’s investments were caused by interest rate increases and were not the result of changes in credit quality. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investments. Because the bank has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the bank does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

NOTE 9 - REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS:
The bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the bank’s financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The bank’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the bank meets all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the FDIC, the bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the bank’s prompt corrective action category.
The bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | Actual | | For Capital Adequacy Purposes | | To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions | |
| | Amount | | Ratio | | Amount | | Ratio | | Amount | | Ratio | |

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In the ordinary course of business, the bank has granted loans to principal officers and directors and their affiliates amounting to $292,000 at December 31, 2004 and $384,000 at December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2004, total principal additions were $289,792 and total principal payments were $381,806. These loan transactions were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to other persons and neither involved more than normal risk of collectibility nor presented other unfavorable features.
Deposits from related parties held by the bank at December 31, 2004 and 2003, amounted to $1,660,986 and $1,646,312, respectively.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, etc., which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $411,060 for 2004 and $311,500 for 2003. The bank does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions. The bank has lines of credit and unfunded loan commitments of approximately $12,132,000 for 2004 and $10,962,000 for 2003.
The bank originates applications and arranges closing of residential mortgages for a secondary market lender under a wholesale lending agreement. In very limited circumstances, the bank could be required to repurchase the subject loans. Bank management believes the possibility of having to repurchase any of these loans is extremely remote. In the event some contingent liability did exist, the amount would be undeterminable.
NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK:
The bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments under standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition.
The bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments under standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments (see Note 11). The bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
JACKSON BANK & TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - continued:
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The bank’s policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.
The bank has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees during the past two years. The bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments in either 2004 or 2003.
NOTE 13 - BENEFIT PLANS:
The bank sponsors a qualified 401(k) plan which is available to employees having one or more years of service and who work in excess of 1,000 hours per year. Employees may voluntarily contribute 1 to 15 percent of their gross compensation on a pretax basis, and the bank makes a matching contribution of 50 percent of the amount contributed by the employee (up to 4% of compensation).
The bank also has the option of making a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) plan on an annual basis. The employees may invest a portion of their 401(k) balance in bank stock. The bank’s contributions to the 401(k) plan for 2004 and 2003 were approximately $40,940 and $39,660, respectively.
The bank also has a deferred compensation plan covering officers and directors. Contributions to the plan are used to purchase life insurance policies and fund premiums on the policies. The present value of future benefit payments is accrued and adjusted on an annual basis. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies totaled $3,234,360 as of December 31, 2004 and $3,123,072 as of December 31, 2003. Accrued benefits, calculated using discount rates of 8 - 8.5%, totaled $766,330 as of December 31, 2004 and $532,149 as of December 31, 2003.
The officer deferred compensation plans include a change of control benefit which results in certain payments of benefits following a change of control. As discussed in Note 16, subsequent to year-end, the bank entered into an agreement with First Security which constitutes a change of control. The bank estimates that approximately $1,331,000 will be paid out pursuant to the plans as a result of the change in control provisions including a May 12, 2005 amendment to the chairman’s plan.

NOTE 14 - STOCK OPTIONS:
Options to buy stock are granted to directors and officers under the Stock Option Plan, which provides for issue of up to 89,929 options. Exercise price is the market price at date of grant, so there is no compensation expense recognized in the income statement.

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 12, 2005, First Security Group, Inc. (“First Security”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, FSBBank, N.A. (“FSGBank”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) with the bank, pursuant to which, among other things, First Security will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the bank in exchange for $92.00 per share (the “Share Exchange”). Subsequent to the Share Exchange, it is expected that the bank will be merged with and into First Security’s wholly-owned subsidiary FSGBank, with FSGBank surviving the transaction.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both First Security and the bank, at the effective time of the Share Exchange (the “Closing Date”), all of the outstanding common stock and options of the bank will be acquired by First Security for approximately $33.1 million in cash, or $92.00 per share. If the Closing Date does not occur on or before July 31, 2005, the consideration to be paid by First Security will accrue interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 1.5%.
