FIRST CENTRAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) March 31, 1997 and 1996 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS First Central Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1993 for the purpose of becoming a one bank holding company. On April 3, 1993, the Company acquired 100% of First Central Bank (the Bank) through a share exchange agreement approved by the shareholders of the Bank. The investment in First Central Bank represents virtually all of the assets of First Central Bancshares, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Central Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Central Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the Company's management, the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, and the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1997, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND In February 1996, the Company distributed a ten percent (10%) dividend to its stockholders by issuing an additional 42,376 shares of common stock. The Company used a fair market value of $25.00 per share and credited common stock $5.00 per share or $211,880, additional paid in capital $20.00 or $847,520, and charged retained earnings a total of $1,059,400. No stock dividends were declared during the quarter ended March 31, 1997. NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Service of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. In December 1996, the FASB subsequently issued SFAS No. 127, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS No. 125 as an amendment of SFAS statement No. 125. The adoption of these FASBs are not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS - COMPARISON AT MARCH 31, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 Assets totalled $76.6 million as of March 31, 1997, as compared to $74.8 million as of December 31, 1996, an increase of 2.41%. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investment securities were $10.6 million or 13.9% of total assets, as of March 31, 1997 a decrease of $500,000 from $11.1 million as of December 31, 1996. During the three-month period there were $862 thousand in calls, maturities, and principal paydowns offset by the purchase of $500 thousand in agency securities. The investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government and federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by various federal agencies. Mortgage-backed issues comprised 17.37% of the portfolio as of March 31, 1997 and 17.31% as of December 31, 1996. As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Bank's entire investment portfolio was classified as available for sale and reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of tax was approximately $108,000 as of March 31, 1997, a change of approximately $74,000 from December 31, 1996, a result of deterioration in the bond market. The fair value of securities fluctuates with the movement of interest rates. Generally, during periods of decreasing interest rates, the fair values increase whereas the opposite may hold true during a rising interest rate environment. LOANS During the first three months of 1997, total gross loans outstanding increased by approximately $887,000 to $58.3 million as of March 31, 1997 from $57.5 million as of December 31, 1996 attributable primarily to $7.4 million in originated loans offset by amortization and payoffs. As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, net loans outstanding represented 73% and 74% of total assets, respectively. Table 1 summarizes the Bank's loan portfolio by major category as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Table 1 - Loan Portfolio by Category (In Thousands) March 31, December 31, 1997 1996 Loans secured by real estate: Commercial properties $15,487 $15,745 Construction and land development 8,278 7,781 Residential and other properties 17,222 16,816 Total loans secured by real estate 40,987 40,342 Commercial and industrial loans 4,611 5,500 Consumer loans 11,909 10,719 Other loans 847 906 58,354 57,467 Less: Allowance for loan losses (574) (563) Unearned interest (1,526) (1,303) Unearned loan fees (54) (62) Loans, Net $56,200 $55,539 As of March 31, 1997, there were outstanding commitments to advance construction funds and to originate loans in the amount of $11.3 million and commitments to advance existing home equity, letters of credit and other credit lines in the amount of $7.1 million. Loans are carried net of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance is maintained at a level to absorb possible losses within the loan portfolio. As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the allowance had a balance of approximately $574,000 and $563,000, respectively. There were no loans on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued as of March 31, 1997 or at December 31, 1996, and there were no loans specifically classified as impaired as defined by SFAS No. 114. Table 2 summarizes the allocation of the loan loss reserve by major categories and Table 3 summarizes the activity in the loan loss reserve for the three month period.

Demand deposits, which include regular, money market, NOW and demand deposits, were $33.0 million, or 47.3% of total deposits, at March 31, 1997. Core deposits were 33.0% of total deposits at December 31, 1996. During the three-month period, the Bank was successful in increasing the balances in the demand deposit category. Certificate accounts were $36.7 million at March 31, 1997, a decrease of $1.3 million over the $38.0 million as of December 31, 1996. Table 4 summarizes the Bank's deposits by major category as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are deposit balances, available-for- sale securities, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities and FHLB advances. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank held $10.6 million in available-for-sale securities and during the first three months of 1997 the Bank received $862,000 in proceeds from maturities, redemptions and principal payments on its investment portfolio. Deposits increased by $1.8 million during the same three month period. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) and is eligible to obtain both short and long term credit advances. Borrowing capacity is limited to the Bank's available qualified collateral which consists primarily of certain 1-4 family residential mortgages and certain investment securities. The Bank had advances outstanding from the FHLB of approximately $45,000 at March 31, 1997. The Bank can also enter into repurchase agreement transactions should the need for additional liquidity arise. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had no repurchase agreements outstanding. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank had capital of $6.5 million, or 8.5% of total assets, as compared to $6.3 million, or 8.4%, at December 31, 1996. Tennessee chartered banks that are insured by the FDIC are subject to minimum capital requirements. Regulatory guidelines define the minimum amount of qualifying capital an institution must maintain as a percentage of risk-weighted assets and total assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 GENERAL The Bank reported net income of $231,000, or $0.49 per share for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared with $153,000 or $0.30 per share for the same period in 1996, an increase of 50.98%. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $178,000 to $897,000, for the three month period in 1997 from the comparable period in 1996. Contributing to this increase was an increase in average interest earning assets. Average interest earning assets, at a yield of 9.16% totalled $70.5 million as of March 31, 1997. In comparison in 1996, average interest earning assets, at a yield of 8.85%, totalled $64.7 million. Interest and dividend income increased by $183,000 for the three month period in 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. This improvement is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $5.8 million, or 9%, in the volume of average earning assets during the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1996. Interest income on loans increased by $255,000 over the same two periods primarily as a result of an increase of approximately $11.6 million in average loans outstanding. Over the same two periods, interest and dividends on investments increased only by $13,000 due to an increase of approximately $844,000 or 8.34% in the volume of investments during the three month period. Interest income on Federal Funds Sold decreased by $85,000 due to an decrease of approximately $6.7 million in average Federal Funds Sold outstanding during the three month period as compared to $103,000 during the same period in 1996. Total interest expense increased $5,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Interest on deposits increased by $5,000 as a result of lower weighted average rates paid on deposits. Interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for the two comparable periods was unchanged. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 4.88% for the three month period in 1997 from 5.20% in the comparable period of 1996.

Other income is comprised primarily of customer service fees and other items. Contributing to the increase in other income was modest growth of $27,000 in checking service fees and NSF charges resulting primarily from an increase in the number of checking accounts. OPERATING EXPENSES Total operating expenses were $612,000 annualized, or 3.27% of average total assets, for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $516,000, or 2.98%, for the same period in 1996. Both the salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment categories of expenses increased when comparing the two periods. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $23,000 or 10.92% over the first three months of 1997 due to normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased approximately $13,000 when compared to expenses at March 31, 1996, an increase of 12.05%. INCOME TAXES The Bank recognizes income taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Bank's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. The Bank's deferred tax asset is reviewed quarterly and adjustments to such asset are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgment relating to the realizability of such asset. During the three month period ending March 31, 1997, the Bank recorded $142,000 in tax expense which resulted in an approximate effective rate of 38%. Comparably, in 1996, the Bank recorded $97,000 in tax expense, resulting in an approximate effective rate of 39%. FIRST CENTRAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY PART 1 - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
