"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.

Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 3 of 7 "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 Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 4 of 7 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." Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 5 of 7 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. Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 6 of 7 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. 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 their owners/operators. Pinnacle provides financial planning services by a certified financial planner (CFP (R)), and a number of Pinnacle's senior Pinnacle Reports Continued Growth - 7 of 7 financial advisors provide comprehensive wealth management services to help clients increase, protect and distribute their 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.
