                  o     Record diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter

                        income) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005 amounted to
                        $9.79 million, compared to $7.52 million for the same
                        quarter of last year, an increase of 30.1 percent and
                        compared to $8.76 million for the third quarter of 2005,
                        an annualized increase of 47 percent over the previous
                        quarter.

      o     Superior credit quality:

                  o     Past due loans over 30 days of only 0.58 percent of

Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 2 of 7

      o     Strong balance sheet growth:

                  o     Average loans up 41.5 percent from the same period last
                        year

                  o     Average total deposits up 41.5 percent from the same
                        period last year, with average noninterest bearing
                        demand deposit accounts up 43.1 percent from the same
                        period last year

   "Achieving $1 billion in assets through organic growth in five years is
remarkable," said M. Terry Turner, president and CEO of Pinnacle Financial
Partners. "In my view, this can largely be attributed to our philosophy of
hiring a large group of the most respected and experienced bankers and brokers
in our market."

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND BALANCE SHEET GROWTH

      o     Return on average assets for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005, was
            0.90 percent, compared to 0.95 percent for the same quarter last
            year.

      o     Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended Dec.
            31, 2005, was 14.05 percent, compared to 11.61 percent for the same
            quarter last year.

   Total assets grew to $1.017 billion as of Dec. 31, 2005, up $290 million or
39.9 percent from the $727 million reported at Dec. 31, 2004. Loans as of Dec.
31, 2005, were $648 million, up $176 million or 37.2 percent from the $472
million reported at Dec. 31, 2004. Total deposits increased to $810 million at
Dec. 31, 2005, or 42.0 percent higher than the $571 million reported a year ago.

REVENUE

      o     Net interest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005, was $8.29
            million compared to $6.28 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31,
            2004, an increase of 32.0 percent.

                  o     Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2005 was
                        3.58 percent, compared to a net interest margin of 3.78
                        percent reported during the fourth quarter in 2004 and
                        3.48 percent for the third quarter of 2005.

                  o     Percentage of daily floating rate loans to total loans
                        was 53.5 percent at Dec. 31, 2005.

      o     Noninterest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005, was
            $1,501,000, a 20.5 percent increase over the $1,246,000 recorded
            during the same quarter in 2004.

   "As we move into a period where some are concerned about our industry's
ability to grow top-line revenues, we are encouraged by the acceleration in our
revenue growth rate during the fourth quarter of 2005 as well as our sales
pipelines for the first quarter of 2006," said Mr. Turner.

   "Our net interest margin improved from the previous quarter," said Harold
Carpenter, chief financial officer of Pinnacle Financial Partners. "Our internal
models continue to indicate that our balance sheet remains structurally asset
sensitive."

   "Net loan growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was approximately
$44 million, which was consistent with previous quarters. Based on current sales
pipelines, we anticipate another strong quarter of loan growth in the first
quarter of 2006. Our net interest income was approximately $8.29 million for the
fourth quarter, compared to $7.46 million in the third quarter of 2005 and
compared to $6.28 million in the same period last year. This represents a year
over year growth of 32.0 percent in net interest income which we directly
attribute to our associates' focus on growth in high quality customer
relationships," said Harold Carpenter.

   At Dec. 31, 2005, the ratio of investment securities to total assets declined
to 27.4 percent from the 29.1 percent reported a year ago. Pinnacle anticipates
that this ratio will approximate 25.0 to 28.0 percent during 2006.

   Noninterest income of $1,501,000 during the fourth quarter of 2005
represented approximately 15.3 percent of total revenues, compared to 16.6
percent for the same quarter in 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

      o     Noninterest expense for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2005, was $5.97
            million, compared to $4.13 million for the same quarter in 2004 and
            compared to $5.52 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005.

      o     Efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by net interest income
            and noninterest income) was 61.0 percent during the fourth quarter
            of 2005, compared to 54.9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2004
            and compared to 63.1 percent for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005.

   Compensation and employee benefits expense increased approximately 61.6
percent over the same quarter last year due primarily to an increase in
personnel and incentive expense. At Dec. 31, 2005, Pinnacle employed 156.5
full-time equivalent personnel compared to 122.0 at Dec. 31, 2004, an increase
of approximately 28.3 percent. Equipment

and occupancy expenses increased 35.6 percent over the same period last year due
in large part to increased square footage for operating units at the firm's
downtown Nashville location and additional branch offices, including the
Franklin location in Williamson County and the Hendersonville location in Sumner
County.

CREDIT QUALITY

      o     Provision for loan losses was $702,000 for the fourth quarter of
            2005, compared to $1,134,000 in the fourth quarter in 2004. The
            following impacted the amount of the provision for loan losses in
            the fourth quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004:

                  o     Loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $44
                        million, compared to loan growth of $37 million in the
                        fourth quarter of 2004.

                  o     During the fourth quarter of 2005, the firm recorded net
                        charge-offs of $76,000 compared to net charge-offs of
                        $918,000 during the same period in 2004.

      o     Allowance for loan losses represented 1.21 percent of total loans at
            Dec. 31, 2005, compared to 1.20 percent at Dec. 31, 2004.

                  o     Due to a significant recovery received during the third
                        quarter of 2005, the firm's recoveries have exceeded
                        gross charge-offs such that on an annualized basis, the
                        net recovered position approximates 0.01 percent of
                        average loans for 2005 compared to a net charge-off
                        position of 0.27 percent for 2004.

                  o     Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and
                        other real estate decreased to 0.07 percent at Dec. 31,
                        2005, from 0.12 percent at Dec. 31, 2004.

   "We remain extremely pleased with the credit quality of our firm," said
Turner. "Throughout this year, our 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 2005 DEVELOPMENTS

      o     Pinnacle continued to focus on treasury management services and
            growth in demand deposit and customer securities sold under
            agreements to repurchase accounts. For the quarter ended Dec. 31,
            2005, average noninterest-bearing deposit balances averaged $136
            million compared to $95 million for the same quarter last year, an
            increase of 43 percent. Securities sold under repurchase agreements,
            a low-cost funding source associated with treasury management
            activities, also averaged $68 million during the fourth quarter of
            2005 compared to $24 million for the same quarter in 2004, an
            increase of 189 percent.

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

      o     Pinnacle grew to 159 associates (156.5 full-time equivalents) at
            Dec. 31, 2005, with 111 working in client contact areas and 48 in
            operational and corporate areas. This represents an increase of 37
            employees from the 122 employees as of Dec. 31, 2004. Pinnacle's
            annual retention rate was 94.3 percent at Dec. 31, 2005,
            representing a very high level of engagement by Pinnacle's
            associates.

      o     Pinnacle was named as the "Best Place to Work" among Middle
            Tennessee's large companies. This marks the third consecutive year
            Pinnacle received top honors in the annual Nashville Business
            Journal award program.

      o     Pinnacle received the 2005 Community Partnership Award for
            affordable housing and community investment achievement from the
            Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. The housing award is presented
            annually to one of 740 FHLB-Cincinnati members in Tennessee,
            Kentucky, and Ohio. The award recipient exemplifies outstanding
            achievement through the FHLB-Cincinnati's affordable housing
            programs and investment in its service community.

      o     Pinnacle is planning to open 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, Mary Smith, a 16-year veteran from a large
            regional bank holding company to lead Pinnacle's efforts at that
            location.

PROGRESS OF CAVALRY ACQUISITION

   On Oct. 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 Sept.
30, 2005. During December, the shareholders of both Pinnacle and Cavalry voted
to approve the merger which remains subject to receipt of the required
regulatory approvals. Management of both firms believe that regulatory approval
will be received before the end of the first quarter of 2006. Pinnacle believes
it will incur approximately $1 million in pre-tax merger-related charges in the
first and second quarters of 2006.

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 first quarter 2006 diluted earnings per
share will approximate $0.22 to $0.25, exclusive of merger-related charges.
Additionally, based on anticipated growth trends and future investments in the
franchise, Pinnacle estimates its 2006 earnings will approximate $1.14 to $1.22
per fully diluted share, exclusive of merger-related charges. These estimates
anticipate the Cavalry merger closing before the end of the first quarter of
2006.

   This estimate also includes an estimate for compensation expense related to
the expensing of stock-based incentives that have been and may be granted to
employees under the firm's broad-based stock incentive 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 failure of the merger with Cavalry to be consummated in the first
quarter of 2006 or at all, 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.

- --------
(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 Pinnacle'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.
