        Total assets grew to $586 million as of June 30, 2004, up 35 percent on
an annualized basis from the $498 million reported at December 31, 2003, and up
45 percent from the $403 million reported at June 30, 2003. Loans as of June

        "Strong loan demand was a major contributor to the excellent results
during the second quarter, and we expect demand to accelerate in the third
quarter," said M. Terry Turner, President and CEO of Pinnacle Financial
Partners. "Our strategy to add a number of seasoned professionals with strong
track records in the Nashville financial community throughout the year
continues to bring more and more of Nashville's leading businesses to
Pinnacle."

        Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $4.5
million compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net
interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $8.7 million
compared to $5.6 million for same period in 2003. The net interest margin for
the second quarter of 2004 was 3.51 percent, which was higher than the net
interest margin of 3.49 percent reported during the first quarter in 2004. The
percentage of daily floating rate loans to total loans was 52.5 percent at June
30, 2004, compared to 52.4 percent at March 31, 2004, and 51.7 percent at June
30, 2003.

        The provision for loan losses was $449,000 for the second quarter of
2004 compared to $354,000 in the first quarter of 2004 and $347,000 for the
same quarter in 2003. The provision for loan losses was $802,000 for the first
six months of 2004 compared to $635,000 for the period in 2003. The allowance
for loan losses represented 1.26 percent of total loans at June 30, 2004.
Annualized net charge offs to average loans amounted to 0.03 percent for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans
increased to 0.38 percent at June 30, 2004, due to one borrower who has been
experiencing cash flow difficulties over the last few months. "Our credit
quality continues to be one of our most significant strengths," Turner said.
"We believe the reason we have been able to perform so well from a credit
quality standpoint is our success in attracting the most experienced team of
bankers in our area."

        Additionally, during the second quarter of 2004, the firm was
successful in receiving approximately $354,000 in proceeds from another
borrower that had been on nonaccruing status for the last few quarters.
Approximately $260,000 of these proceeds have been included in the firm's
earnings for the second quarter of 2004. The firm anticipates receiving
additional proceeds from the liquidation of other assets related to this
particular borrower.

        Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $1.2
million compared to $877,000 during the same quarter in 2003. Noninterest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $2.4 million compared to
$1.3 million during the same period in 2003. These increases were due to the
continued development of Pinnacle's mortgage origination unit, gains recognized
on the sale of loan participations, increased depositor service charges due to
more deposit accounts and increased investment services income from Pinnacle

Asset Management. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, noninterest income
represented approximately 20.7 percent of total revenues (the sum of net
interest income and noninterest income), compared to 22.7 percent for the same
quarter in 2003.

        Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $3.6
million compared to $2.7 million for the same quarter in 2003. Noninterest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $7.0 million compared to
$4.9 million for the same period in 2003. Pinnacle continues to increase
expense levels in order to capitalize on market opportunities:

         o        Pinnacle currently has 102 employees with 74 working in
                  client contact areas and 28 in operational and corporate
                  areas. Pinnacle anticipates adding 24 more employees in 2004,
                  including 16 who are expected to be in client contact areas,
                  with the remainder in operational and corporate areas.

         o        Construction is nearing completion for the firm's West End
                  Avenue office in Nashville. This office is located adjacent
                  to Vanderbilt University and is within close proximity to
                  Nashville's medical community, including several prominent
                  hospitals and medical office facilities.

         o        Pinnacle has also announced plans to open its seventh office
                  late this year in Franklin, Tenn., which is the county seat
                  of Williamson County. The Franklin office will be the firm's
                  third office in Williamson County, which has the highest per
                  capita income and one of the highest growth rates of all
                  counties in Tennessee.

        Based on anticipated growth trends and the anticipated results from
these trends, Pinnacle estimates its third quarter 2004 diluted earnings per
share will approximate $0.15 to $0.17. Pinnacle estimates diluted earnings per
share for the year ending Dec. 31, 2004, to be $0.59 to $0.63. Management has
developed several scenarios under which these estimates can be achieved and
believes these estimates to be reasonable based on these scenarios. However,
unanticipated events or developments may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of Pinnacle to differ materially from these estimates.

        Pinnacle Financial Partners, the largest financial services firm
headquartered in Nashville, provides a full range of banking, investment and
insurance products and services targeted at small- to mid-sized businesses and
their owners/operators. A number of Pinnacle's senior financial advisors
provide comprehensive wealth management services to help clients increase,
protect and distribute their assets.

        Pinnacle opened its first office in October 2000 in Commerce Center in
Downtown Nashville. Since then the firm has added Nashville offices in
Rivergate and Green Hills and in Brentwood and the Cool Springs area of
Williamson County.

(3)      Net interest margin is the result of net interest income on a tax
         equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets

(4)      Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income and
         noninterest income.

(5)      Efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the
         sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

(6)      Average risk ratings are based on an internal loan review system which
         assigns a numeric value of 1 to 10 to all loans to commercial entities
         based on their underlying risk characteristics as of the end of each
         quarter. A "1" risk rating is assigned to credits that exhibit
         Excellent risk characteristics, "2" exhibit Very Good risk
         characteristics, "3" Good, "4" Satisfactory, "5" Acceptable or
         Average, "6" Watch List, "7" Criticized, "8" Classified or
         Substandard, "9" Doubtful and "10" Loss (which are charged-off
         immediately). Loans rated "8" or worse are considered potential
         problem credits. Generally, consumer loans are not subjected to
         internal risk ratings.

(7)      Computed by dividing the balance of all loans by the number of loan
         accounts as of the end of each quarter.
