FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

         o        Return on average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
                  was 0.96 percent compared to 0.82 percent for the same quarter
                  last year.

         o        Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended
                  June 30, 2005, was 13.21 percent compared to 12.83 percent for
                  the same quarter last year.

         o        Efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by net interest
                  income and noninterest income) was 60.4 percent during the
                  second quarter of 2005 compared to 62.4 percent during the
                  second quarter of 2004.

     Total assets grew to $872 million as of June 30, 2005, up $286 million or
49 percent from the $586 million reported at June 30, 2004. Loans as of June 30,
2005, were $557 million, or 57 percent higher than the $355 million reported at
June 30, 2004. Total deposits increased to $690 million at June 30, 2005, or 48
percent higher than the $467 million reported at June 30, 2004.

     "Our asset growth was excellent for the second quarter," said Turner. "Even
with this significant asset growth and the associated provision expense we were
able to maintain our ROA at a level consistent with the first quarter of 2005.
We are also pleased that ROE for the second quarter was an all time high for our
firm."

REVENUE

         o        Revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest
                  income) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 amounted to $8.2
                  million compared to $5.6 million for the same quarter of last
                  year, an increase of 46.6 percent.

         o        Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was
                  $6.80 million compared to $4.54 million for the quarter ended
                  June 30, 2004, an increase of 49.8 percent.

                  o        Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2005
                           was 3.57 percent, compared to a net interest margin
                           of 3.51 percent reported during the second quarter in
                           2004 and 3.78 percent for the first quarter of 2005.

                  o        Percentage of daily floating rate loans to total
                           loans was 55.9 percent at June 30, 2005.

         o        Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was
                  $1,416,000 compared to $1,067,000 during the same quarter in
                  2004, an increase of 32.7 percent.

     "Our net interest margin of 3.57 percent was higher than the net interest
margin for the same quarter last year and lower than our net interest margin for
the first quarter of this year," said Harold Carpenter, Chief Financial Officer
of Pinnacle Financial Partners. "The decline in our net interest margin between
the first and second quarters of 2005 was due to several factors, with the
primary contributor being a rapid rise in deposit rates over the past few
months. Our internal models indicate that our balance sheet remains structurally
asset sensitive and, although Nashville continues to be a very competitive
deposit pricing market, our belief is that with anticipated increases in
short-term rates currently forecasted for the remainder of 2005, we should be in
the position to maintain our net interest margin for the remainder of the year.
At a time when many banks are faced with margin compression and therefore lower
net interest income, our associates remain focused on growing our volumes which
enables us to forecast continued growth in net interest income."

     At June 30, 2005, the ratio of investment securities to total assets
declined to 26.1 percent compared to 28.2 percent at June 30, 2004. Pinnacle
anticipates that this ratio will approximate 25.0 to 27.0 percent for the
remainder of 2005 and represents a slight shift in asset mix to the higher
yielding loan category.

     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. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, noninterest income represented
approximately 17.2 percent of total revenues, compared to 19.0 percent for the
same quarter in 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

         o        Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was
                  $4.96 million compared to $3.50 million for the same quarter
                  in 2004.

     Compensation and employee benefits expense increased approximately 41
percent over the same quarter last year due primarily to an increase in
personnel. At June 30, 2005, Pinnacle employed 146.5 full-time equivalent
personnel compared to 101.5 at June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately 44
percent. Equipment and occupancy expenses increased 67.1 percent over the same
period last year due in large part to increased square footage for operating
units at our downtown Nashville location and additional branch offices.

CREDIT QUALITY

         o        Provision for loan losses was $483,000 for the second quarter
                  of 2005 compared to $449,000 in the second quarter in 2004.
                  The following impacted the amount of the provision for loan
                  losses in the second quarter of 2005 when compared to the same
                  period in 2004:

                  o        Loan growth in the second quarter of 2005 of $40
                           million compared to loan growth of $32 million in the
                           second quarter of 2004.

                  o        Net charge-offs were $22,000 in the second quarter of
                           2005 compared to net charge-offs of $25,000 during
                           the same period in 2004.

         o        Allowance for loan losses represented 1.20 percent of total
                  loans at June 30, 2005, compared to 1.26 percent at June 30,
                  2004.

                  o        Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.02
                           percent for the second quarter of 2005 compared to
                           0.03 percent for the second quarter of 2004.

                  o        Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans
                           and other real estate decreased to 0.11 percent at
                           June 30, 2005, from 0.38 percent at June 30, 2004.

     "We remain extremely pleased with the credit quality of our firm," said
Turner. "In the first half of this year, asset quality indicators have been
consistent with the superior levels we have experienced throughout 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 SECOND QUARTER 2005 DEVELOPMENTS

         o        A continued focus on treasury management services and growth
                  in demand deposit accounts. For the quarter ended June 30,
                  2005, average noninterest-bearing deposit balances averaged
                  $112 million compared to $73 million for the same quarter last
                  year, an increase of 54 percent. "We are very pleased with the
                  steady growth in demand deposit operating accounts and
                  commercial customer repurchase accounts," said Robert A.
                  McCabe Jr., Chairman of the Board of Pinnacle. "Additionally,
                  we expect to produce long-term growth in both balances and
                  service charges for our firm through our recent and continuing
                  investments to enhance our treasury management capabilities."

         o        Pinnacle grew to 148 associates (146.5 full-time equivalent)
                  at June 30, 2005, with 106 working in client contact areas and
                  42 in operational and corporate areas. This represents an
                  increase of 25 employees from the 123 employees as of December
                  31, 2004. Pinnacle's annual retention rate was 96.6 percent at
                  June 30, 2005, representing a very high level of engagement
                  for Pinnacle's associates. Approximately 22 associate
                  additions are currently planned for the remainder of 2005 with
                  16 to be in client contact areas.

         o        Pinnacle opened its eighth office, located in Hendersonville,
                  Tenn., which is the largest city in Sumner County, a very
                  attractive county within the Nashville MSA.

         o        Pinnacle is considering a ninth location to be opened in late
                  2005 or early 2006 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 third quarter 2005 diluted earnings per
share will approximate $0.21 to $0.22. Pinnacle tightened the estimate for
diluted earnings per share for the year ending Dec. 31, 2005, to range between
$0.84 and $0.87. Additionally, Pinnacle currently estimates total asset balances
will approximate $1 billion by the end of 2005 as a result of continued organic
growth. Pinnacle continues to anticipate significant 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.

     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. Pinnacle will begin including such compensation
expense in its statement of income in 2006.

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