            -     Nonperforming assets of only 0.12 percent of total loans and
                  other real estate

      "This marks the ninth consecutive quarter where year over year quarterly
net income growth exceeded 60 percent," said M. Terry Turner, President and CEO
of Pinnacle Financial Partners.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

        -     Return on average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was
              0.96 percent compared to 0.85 percent for the same quarter last
              year.

        -     Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended March
              31, 2005, was 12.48 percent compared to 12.03 percent for the same
              quarter last year.

        -   Efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by net interest
            income and noninterest income) improved to 59.6 percent during the
            first quarter of 2005 compared to 62.8 percent during the first
            quarter of 2004.

      Total assets grew to $787 million as of March 31, 2005, up $246 million or
45 percent from the $541 million reported at March 31, 2004. Loans as of March
31, 2005, were $517 million, or 60 percent higher than the $323 million reported
at March 31, 2004. Total deposits increased to $619 million at March 31, 2005,
or 41 percent higher than the $438 million reported at March 31, 2004.

      "Loan and deposit growth continues to be the primary influencer of current
and future profitability," said Turner. "First quarter 2005 loan growth was
exceptionally strong at 68 percent greater than the loan growth we experienced
in the first quarter of 2004. Given the outstanding loan growth and the
increased loan loss provision that accompanies loan growth, we are very pleased
that our return on average assets advanced to 0.96 percent for the quarter.
Additionally, having just completed a significant follow-on stock offering in
the third quarter of last year, we are also pleased that the demand for our loan
and deposit services has enabled us to leverage the additional capital quickly.
We have already achieved a return on average equity which approximates
pre-follow-on stock offering levels."

REVENUE

        -   Revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income)
            for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 amounted to $7.7 million
            compared to $5.3 million for the same quarter of last year, an
            increase of 45 percent.

        -   Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $6.5
            million compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,
            2004.

            -     Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2005 was 3.78
                  percent, compared to a net interest margin of 3.49 percent
                  reported during the first quarter in 2004.

            -     Percentage of daily floating rate loans to total loans was
                  54.4 percent at March 31, 2005, compared to 52.4 percent at
                  March 31, 2004.

        -   Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was
            $1,178,000 compared to $1,131,000 during the same quarter in 2004.

      "Our net interest margin was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2004
and higher than the net interest margin we reported in the first quarter of
2004," said Harold Carpenter, Chief



Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 3 of 7

Financial Officer of Pinnacle Financial Partners. "Last year at this time, we
reported we were asset sensitive and that our margins should improve once the
Federal Reserve Board initiated increases to the Fed funds rate. Since that time
the Fed funds rate has increased 1.75 percent and our margin has expanded by
almost 30 basis points over the first quarter of last year. This expansion is a
tribute to our associates who have been growing our client base in a very
competitive pricing market. Given the current environment in Nashville, we do
not believe we will experience any significant margin expansion for the
remainder of this year and could, in fact, see modest contraction in order to
meet competitive pricing pressures."

      At March 31, 2005, the ratio of investment securities to total assets
declined to 25.7 percent compared to 30.0 percent at March 31, 2004. Pinnacle
anticipates that this ratio will approximate 26.0 to 29.0 percent for the
remainder of 2005.

      The increase in noninterest income was due to the further development of
Pinnacle's mortgage origination unit, increased service charges due to more
deposit accounts and increased investment services income from Pinnacle Asset
Management. These increases were partially offset by decreased revenue from the
gains on sales of loans and loan participations and gains on sales of investment
securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, noninterest income represented
approximately 15.3 percent of total revenues, compared to 21.4 percent for the
same quarter in 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

        -   Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, was $4.6
            million compared to $3.3 million for the same quarter in 2004.

      Compensation and employee benefits expense increased approximately 37
percent over the same quarter last year due primarily to an increase in
personnel. At March 31, 2005, Pinnacle employed 131.5 full-time equivalent
personnel compared to 95.0 at March 31, 2004, an increase of approximately 38
percent. Equipment and occupancy expenses increased 55 percent over the same
period last year due in large part to increased square footage for operating
units at our headquarters location and additional branch offices.

      "We continue to be successful in adding experienced and successful
bankers, brokers and mortgage originators, primarily from the larger regional
and national franchises in Nashville. Pinnacle has and will continue to increase
expense levels over time in order to capitalize on current and future market
opportunities and to provide the necessary infrastructure to support our
expectation for continued rapid growth," said Turner.

CREDIT QUALITY

        -   Provision for loan losses was $601,000 for the first quarter of
            2005 compared to $354,000 in the first quarter in 2004. The
            provision for loan losses was significantly higher in the first
            quarter of 2005 due to:

            -     Loan growth in the first quarter of 2005 of $44 million
                  compared to loan growth of $26 million in the first quarter of
                  2004 and

            -     Net charge-offs of $53,000 in the first quarter of 2005
                  compared to net charge-offs of $30,000 during the same period
                  in 2004. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.04 percent
                  for both the first quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of
                  2004.

        -   Allowance for loan losses represented 1.20 percent of total loans
            at March 31, 2005, compared to 1.25 percent at March 31, 2004.

            -     Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other
                  real estate increased to 0.12 percent at March 31, 2005, from
                  0.03 percent at March 31, 2004.

      "We are extremely pleased with the credit quality of our firm," said
Turner. "Last year, we experienced a charge-off rate of 0.27 percent largely due
to the write-down of one particular relationship. In the first quarter of this
year, asset quality indicators returned to the superior levels we have
experienced through most of the life of this firm. Specifically, our
nonperforming assets, net charge-off and past due ratios are at exceptional
levels and better than national peer group averages. We continue to believe that
our asset quality is the best predictor of our ability to create long-term
shareholder value."

OTHER FIRST QUARTER 2005 DEVELOPMENTS

        -   Launched an enhancement project to the company's suite of treasury
            management products and services designed for Nashville's commercial
            clients. The enhancements will include a robust web-based platform
            and highlight technologically advanced delivery of information via
            image and other emerging technologies. Specifically, the project
            includes enhancements such as "image lockbox" whereby customer
            payment receipts are accessed by commercial clients via Pinnacle's
            website. Although substantially all of the capital outlays and
            feature/functionality enhancements will occur during 2005, the total
            project represents a commitment to be phased in over a 24-36 month
            period. "Our objective is simply to be the best provider of treasury
            management services in



Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 5 of 7

            Nashville," said Robert A. McCabe, Jr., Chairman of the Board of
            Pinnacle Financial Partners. "Our current treasury management
            services have been well received by business clients. With this new
            initiative, we are continuing to invest in the latest technology and
            additional people to ensure we have a significant competitive edge.
            We are doing this at a time when the larger regional and national
            franchises are consolidating treasury management operations outside
            of Nashville. While others in the market may have comparable
            technology, we do not believe they have the local treasury
            management expertise to address clients' needs face-to-face the way
            we can. We believe that with our local expertise and the
            enhancements to our current treasury management offerings, no other
            firm in Nashville will be able to match our capabilities."

        -   Pinnacle currently has 133 associates (131.5 full-time equivalent)
            at March 31, 2005, with 96 working in client contact areas and 37 in
            operational and corporate areas. This represents an increase of 10
            employees from the 123 employees as of December 31, 2004. Pinnacle's
            annual retention rate rose to 99.2 percent at March 31, 2005,
            representing a very high level of engagement for Pinnacle's
            associates. Approximately 26 associate additions are currently
            planned for the remainder of 2005 with 14 to be in client contact
            areas.

        -   Pinnacle opened its seventh office, located in Franklin, Tenn.,
            which is the county seat of Williamson County. The Franklin office
            is the firm's third office in Williamson County, which has the
            highest per capita income and one of the highest growth rates of all
            Tennessee counties.

        -   Pinnacle began construction of its eighth office in Hendersonville,
            Tenn., a high-growth area of the Nashville MSA. It is located
            northeast of Nashville's central business district. The firm
            anticipates this office to be open in mid-2005. With a population of
            over 50,000, Hendersonville is the largest city in Sumner County,
            another one of the fastest growing counties in Tennessee.
            Additionally, Pinnacle is considering a ninth location to be opened
            in late 2005 in the Nashville MSA. Pinnacle expects to add another
            two offices in the Nashville MSA in 2006, which would bring the
            company's total number of offices to 11.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

      Management has developed several financial forecast scenarios for the next
several quarters. Based on anticipated growth trends and future investments in
the franchise, Pinnacle estimates its second quarter 2005 diluted earnings per
share will approximate $0.19 to $0.21. Pinnacle tightened the estimate for
diluted earnings per share for the year ending Dec. 31, 2005, to range between
$0.84 and $0.88. Additionally, Pinnacle has increased its estimate for total
asset balances to range between $950 million and $1 billion by the end of 2005
as a result of continued organic growth. Pinnacle anticipates more than
previously anticipated loan demand for the remainder of 2005 and, as a result,
has considered the increased provision for loan losses associated with increased
loan balances in these estimates. Additionally, Pinnacle has included in these
estimates additional compensation expense associated with increased number of
personnel and, due to accelerated growth and earnings performance, incentive
expense associated with Pinnacle's annual cash bonus plan which has been
forecasted to be greater than the 80 percent of targeted incentives awarded to
associates in 2004. "This exceptional balance sheet growth during the remainder
of 2005 should put us in a position to continue extraordinary earnings growth
during 2006," said Carpenter.

      As noted previously, 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, including the execution of any initiative involving the
development of any market other than the current Nashville franchise, the
opportunity to hire more seasoned professionals than anticipated or the ability
to grow loans significantly in excess of the levels contemplated, may cause the
actual results of Pinnacle to differ materially from these estimates.

      The estimates do not include compensation expense related to the expensing
of stock options that have been and may be granted to employees under the firm's
broad-based stock option plans. Compensation expense attributable to the
expensing of stock options would have approximated $0.02 to $0.03 per fully
diluted share in the last six months of 2005, but consistent with recent
announcements by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Pinnacle will begin
including such compensation expense in its statement of income in 2006.

      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. Pinnacle provides financial planning services by a

- ----------
(1)   Book value per share computed by dividing total stockholders' equity by
      common shares outstanding

(2)   Capital ratios are for Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. and are defined
      as follows:

        Equity to total assets - End of period total stockholders' equity as a
        percentage of end of period assets.

        Leverage - Tier 1 capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines)
        as a percentage of adjusted average assets.

        Tier 1 risk-based - Tier 1 capital (pursuant to risk-based capital
        guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

        Total risk-based - Total capital (pursuant to risk-based capital
        guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

(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 ratios are calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the
      sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

(6)   Growth rates are calculated by dividing amounts for the current quarter by
      the same quarter of the previous year.

(7)   During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company incurred two large
      commercial charge-offs of approximately $850,000 which had been previously
      on nonaccruing status.

(8)   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). Additionally, loans rated "8" or
      worse are considered potential problem loans. Potential problem loans do
      not include nonperforming loans. Generally, consumer loans are not
      subjected to internal risk ratings.

(9)   Annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans ratios are computed by
      annualizing year-to-date net loan charge-offs and dividing the result by
      average loans for the year-to-date period.

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

(11)  Amounts are included in the statement of income in "Gains on the sale of
      loans and loan participations sold".

(12)  At fair value, based on information obtained from the company's third
      party broker/dealer for non-FDIC insured financial products and services.

(13)  Floating rate loans are those loans that are eligible for repricing on a
      daily basis subject to changes in Pinnacle's prime lending rate or other
      factors.

(14)  Core deposits include all transaction deposit accounts, money market and
      savings accounts and all certificates of deposit issued in a denomination
      of $100,000 or less. The ratio noted above represents total core deposits
      divided by total funding, which includes total deposits, FHLB advances,
      securities sold under agreements to repurchase, subordinated indebtedness
      and all other interest-bearing liabilities.

(15)  Associate retention rate is computed by dividing the number of associates
      employed at quarter-end less the number of associates that have resigned
      in the last 12 months by the number of associates employed at quarter-end.
