FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

            -     Return on average assets for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005,

            -     Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended
                  Sept. 30, 2005, was 13.23 percent compared to 12.58 percent
                  for the same quarter last year.

      Total assets grew to $979 million as of Sept. 30, 2005, up $293 million or
43 percent from the $685 million reported at Sept. 30, 2004. Loans as of Sept.

reported at Sept. 30, 2004. Total deposits increased to $789 million at Sept.
30, 2005, or 46 percent higher than the $542 million reported a year ago.

REVENUE

            -     Revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest
                  income) for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005 amounted to $8.8
                  million compared to $6.9 million for the same quarter of last
                  year, an increase of 27.0 percent.

            -     Net interest income for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005, was
                  $7.46 million compared to $5.30 million for the quarter ended
                  Sept. 30, 2004, an increase of 40.7 percent.

                     -     Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2005 was
                           3.48 percent, compared to a net interest margin of
                           3.62 percent reported during the third quarter in
                           2004 and 3.57 percent for the second quarter of 2005.

                     -     Percentage of daily floating rate loans to total
                           loans was 56.4 percent at Sept. 30, 2005.

            -     Noninterest income for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005, was
                  $1,299,000 compared to $1,593,000 during the same quarter in
                  2004, a decrease of 18.4 percent.

      "The decline in our net interest margin during the third quarter of 2005
was due to several factors, with the primary contributors being continued
increases in deposit rates and our decision to maintain increased liquidity
throughout the quarter," said Harold Carpenter, chief financial officer of
Pinnacle Financial Partners. "Our marketing and customer retention activities
yielded significant deposit growth during the third quarter. Based on current
sales pipelines, we anticipate another strong quarter of loan growth in the
fourth quarter of 2005. This puts Pinnacle in a great position to deploy this
excess liquidity rapidly. Our internal



Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 3 of 7

models continue to indicate that our balance sheet remains structurally asset
sensitive. Although Nashville continues to be a very competitive deposit pricing
market, we believe we should maintain our net interest margin for the remainder
of the year. Even though our margin was less than we anticipated, our growth
continues to provide the top line revenues we require to meet our objectives.
Our net interest income was approximately $7.5 million for the third quarter,
compared to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 and compared to $5.3
million in the same period last year. This represents a year over year growth of
41 percent in net interest income which we directly attribute to our associates
continuing to increase the number of profitable loan and deposit relationships
at our firm."

      At June 30, 2005, the ratio of investment securities to total assets
declined to 25.2 percent from the 28.2 percent reported a year ago. Pinnacle
anticipates that this ratio will approximate 25.0 to 27.0 percent for the
remainder of 2005, representing a slight shift in asset mix.

      Noninterest income was $1,299,000 during the third quarter of 2005,
compared to $1,593,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $294,000.
Gains on sales of loan participations and investment securities were lower
between the two quarters by $246,000 and $109,000, respectively. For the quarter
ended Sept. 30, 2005, noninterest income represented approximately 14.8 percent
of total revenues, compared to 23.1 percent for the same quarter in 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

            -     Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, was
                  $5.52 million, compared to $3.92 million for the same quarter
                  in 2004.

            -     Efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by net interest
                  income and noninterest income) was 63.1 percent during the
                  third quarter of 2005, compared to 56.9 percent during the
                  third quarter of 2004.

      Compensation and employee benefits expense increased approximately 38.9
percent over the same quarter last year due primarily to an increase in
personnel. At Sept. 30, 2005, Pinnacle employed 153 full-time equivalent
personnel compared to 116 at Sept. 30, 2004, an increase of approximately 32
percent. Equipment and occupancy expenses increased 76.1 percent over the same
period last year due in large part to increased square footage for



Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 4 of 7

operating units at the firm's downtown Nashville location and additional branch
offices, including the West End location in Davidson County, the Franklin
location in Williamson County and the Hendersonville location in Sumner County.

CREDIT QUALITY

            -     Provision for loan losses was $366,000 for the third quarter
                  of 2005, compared to $1,012,000 in the third quarter in 2004.
                  The following impacted the amount of the provision for loan
                  losses in the third quarter of 2005 when compared to the same
                  period in 2004:

                     -     Loan growth in the third quarter of 2005 of $47
                           million, compared to loan growth of $80 million in
                           the third quarter of 2004.

                     -     During the third quarter of 2005, a $230,000 recovery
                           was recorded from a previously charged-off commercial
                           loan. This recovery exceeded gross charge-offs of
                           $26,000 during the quarter, resulting in the firm
                           reporting net recoveries of $206,000 in the third
                           quarter of 2005 compared to net charge-offs of
                           $43,000 during the same period in 2004.

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

                     -     With the significant recovery noted above, the firm's
                           recoveries have exceeded gross charge-off's such that
                           on an annualized basis, the net recovered position
                           approximates (0.03) percent of average loans for 2005
                           compared to a net charge-off position of 0.04 percent
                           for 2004.

                     -     Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans
                           and other real estate decreased to 0.01 percent at
                           Sept. 30, 2005, from 0.31 percent at Sept. 30, 2004.

      "We remain extremely pleased with the credit quality of our firm," said
Turner. "In the first nine months of this year, asset quality indicators have
been excellent. We continue to believe that our asset quality is a key
predictor of our ability to create long-term shareholder value."

OTHER THIRD QUARTER 2005 DEVELOPMENTS

                  -     Pinnacle continued to focus on treasury management
                        services and growth in demand deposit accounts. For the
                        quarter ended September 30, 2005, average
                        noninterest-bearing deposit balances averaged $125
                        million compared to $85


Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 5 of 7

                        million for the same quarter last year, an increase of
                        47 percent. "Average noninterest bearing demand accounts
                        increased by $14 million during the third quarter of
                        2005," said Robert A. McCabe Jr., chairman of Pinnacle's
                        board of directors. "We are very pleased with our
                        progress in making Pinnacle the premier treasury
                        management firm in Nashville."

                  -     Pinnacle concluded the offering of $20 million in trust
                        preferred securities to provide regulatory capital to
                        support Pinnacle's continued rapid growth.

                  -     Pinnacle grew to 155 associates (153 full-time
                        equivalent) at Sept. 30, 2005, with 107 working in
                        client contact areas and 48 in operational and corporate
                        areas. This represents an increase of 32 employees from
                        the 123 employees as of Dec. 31, 2004. Pinnacle's annual
                        retention rate was 96 percent at Sept. 30, 2005,
                        representing a very high level of engagement for
                        Pinnacle's associates. Approximately eight associate
                        additions are currently planned for the remainder of
                        2005, including five in client contact areas.

                  -     Pinnacle is considering a ninth location to be opened in
                        2006 in the Donelson/Hermitage area of Davidson County
                        within the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro MSA.
                        Additionally, Pinnacle has been successful in recruiting
                        a 16-year veteran from a large regional bank holding
                        company to lead Pinnacle's efforts at that location.

PROGRESS OF CAVALRY ACQUISITION

      On October 3, 2005, Pinnacle reported that the firm had entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire the common stock of Cavalry Bancorp, a one-bank
holding company in Murfreesboro, Tenn. with assets of $632 million as of
September 30, 2005. Since that date:

            -     The two companies have announced the formation of a joint
                  merger integration team to be led by Hugh M. Queener of
                  Pinnacle and Bill Jones of Cavalry.

            -     Pinnacle filed a Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission on Oct. 17, 2005, detailing various aspects of the
                  merger and the information to be included in the companies'
                  joint proxy statement/prospectus.

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 fourth quarter 2005 diluted earnings per
share will approximate $0.23, exclusive of merger-related charges, if any. As a
result, Pinnacle's estimate for diluted



Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 6 of 7

earnings per share for the year ending Dec. 31, 2005, is projected to be
approximately $0.85 per fully diluted share. Pinnacle currently estimates total
asset balances will exceed $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 early 2006 and, as a result, has considered
the increased provision for loan losses associated with increased loan balances
in these estimates.

      In its Oct. 3, 2005, news release, Pinnacle also included earnings
guidance estimates for 2006 of $1.14 to $1.22 per fully diluted share which
includes an estimate for 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.

      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-Davidson
County-Murfreesboro 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.

      Pinnacle Financial Partners, the largest financial services firm
headquartered in Nashville, provides a full range of banking, investment and
insurance products and services designed for small- to mid-sized businesses and

- -----------
(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)   Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.

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

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

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

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

(8)   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. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company
      recorded a recovery of $230,000 related to one of these commercial loans.

(9)   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.

(10)  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.

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

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

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

(14)  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.

(15)  Core deposits include all transaction deposit accounts, money market and
      savings accounts and all certificates of deposit issued in a denomination
      of less than $100,000. 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.

(16)  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.
