                                    BUSINESS

General.

         First Tennessee National Corporation (the "Corporation") is a
Tennessee corporation incorporated in 1968 and registered as a bank holding
company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  At December
31, 1994, the Corporation had total assets of $10.5 billion and ranked first in
terms of total assets among Tennessee-headquartered bank holding companies and
ranked 56th nationally.

         Through its principal subsidiary, First Tennessee Bank National
Association (the "Bank"), and its other banking and banking-related
subsidiaries, the Corporation provides a broad range of financial services.
The Corporation derives substantially all of its consolidated total pre-tax
operating income and consolidated revenues from the commercial banking
business.  During 1994 approximately 50% of revenues were provided by net
interest income and approximately 50% of revenues were provided by fee income-
based business lines.  As a bank holding company, the Corporation coordinates
the financial resources of the consolidated enterprise and maintains systems of
financial, operational and administrative control that allows coordination of
selected policies and activities.  The Corporation assesses the Bank and its
subsidiaries for services they receive on a formula basis it believes to be
reasonable.

         The Bank is a national banking association with principal offices in
Memphis, Tennessee.  It received its charter in 1864 and operates primarily on
a regional basis.  During 1994 it generated gross revenue of approximately
$995.9 million and contributed 94.1% of consolidated net income from continuing
operations.  At December 31, 1994, the Bank had $10.0 billion in total assets,
$7.3 billion in total deposits, and $6.4 billion in net loans.  Within the
State of Tennessee on December 31, 1994, it ranked first among banks in terms
of total assets and deposits.  Nationally, it ranked 59th in terms of total
assets as of December 31, 1994.  On December 31, 1994, the Corporation's
subsidiary banks had 223 banking locations in 20 Tennessee counties, including
all of the major metropolitan areas of the state, and 8 banking locations in
Mississippi.  Subsidiaries of the Bank at January 3, 1995, provided mortgage
banking services through approximately 150 offices in 27 states.

         An element of the Corporation's business strategy is to seek
acquisitions that would enhance long-term shareholder value.  The Corporation
has an acquisitions department charged with this responsibility which is
constantly reviewing and developing opportunities to achieve this element of
the Corporation's strategy.

         During 1994, the Corporation completed the acquisition of the
following entities on the dates specified:  SNMC Management Corporation (parent
of Sunbelt National Mortgage Corporation) (1-4-94), Highland Capital Management
Corp. (3-1-94), Cleveland Bank and Trust Company (3-16-94), Planters Bank
(8-9-94) and Emerald Mortgage Corporation (10-1-94).  All of the acquisitions,
except Emerald, were accounted for as poolings-of-interests.

         On January 3, 1995, the Corporation expanded its mortgage banking
operations through the acquisition of Carl I. Brown and Company, ("CIB") Kansas
City Missouri.  CIB, which became a subsidiary of the Bank at the close of the
transaction, had total assets of approximately $169.0 million and a mortgage
servicing portfolio of approximately $2.2 billion at acquisition.  On February
24, 1995, the Corporation acquired Community Bancshares, Inc., Germantown,
Tennessee, the parent of Community First Bank.  At acquisition Community had
total assets of approximately $252 million.  Each transaction was accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests.

         The Corporation provides the following services through its
subsidiaries:

         .       general banking services for consumers, small businesses,
                 corporations, financial institutions, and governments
         .       bond division--primarily sales and underwriting of
                 bank-eligible securities and mortgage loans and advisory
                 services to other financial institutions
         .       mortgage banking services
         .       trust, fiduciary, and agency services
         .       nationwide check clearing services

         .       mutual fund sales as agent
         .       check processing software and systems.

         All of the Corporation's subsidiaries are listed in Exhibit 21.  The
Bank has filed notice with the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller") as a
government securities broker/dealer.  The bond division of the Bank is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a municipal
securities dealer with offices in Memphis and Knoxville, Tennessee; Mobile,
Alabama; Overland Park, Kansas; and Dallas, Texas.  The subsidiary banks are
supervised and regulated as described below. Highland Capital Management Corp.
is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser.  Hickory Venture Capital
Corporation is licensed as a Small Business Investment Company.  First
Tennessee Brokerage, Inc. is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer.

         Expenditures for research and development activities were not material
for the years 1992, 1993 or 1994.

         Neither the Corporation nor any of its significant subsidiaries is
dependent upon a single customer or very few customers.

         At December 31, 1994, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had
approximately 6,468 full-time-equivalent employees, not including contract
labor for certain services, such as guard and housekeeping.

Supervision and Regulation.

         The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and is registered
with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board").  The Corporation is required to file with the Board annual reports and
such additional information as the Board may require pursuant to the Act.  The
Board may also make examinations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The
following summary of the Act and of the other acts described herein is
qualified in its entirety by express reference to each of the particular acts.

         GENERAL

                 As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to the
         regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board under the
         BHCA.  Under the BHCA, bank holding companies may not in general
         directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than
         5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any
         company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal
         Reserve Board.  The BHCA also restricts the types of activities in
         which a bank holding company and its subsidiaries may engage.
         Generally, activities are limited to banking and activities found by
         the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking as to be
         a proper incident thereto.

                 In addition, the BHCA prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from
         approving an application by a bank holding company to acquire shares
         of a bank or bank holding company located outside the acquiror's
         principal state of operations unless such an acquisition is
         specifically authorized by statute in the state in which the bank or
         bank holding company whose shares are to be acquired is located.
         Tennessee has adopted legislation that authorizes nationwide
         interstate bank acquisitions, subject to certain state law reciprocity
         requirements, including the filing of an application with and approval
         of the Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions.  The
         Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974





                                       3
   5

         restricts the acquisition by bank holding companies of banks in
         Tennessee.  A bank holding company is prohibited from acquiring any
         bank in Tennessee as long as banks that it controls retain 16 1/2% or
         more of the total deposits in individual, partnership and corporate
         demand and other transaction accounts and in savings accounts and time
         deposits in all federally insured financial institutions in Tennessee,
         subject to certain limitations and exclusions.  As of December 31,
         1994, the Corporation estimates that it held approximately 12.5% of
         such deposits.  Also, under this act, no bank holding company may
         acquire any bank in operation for less than five years or begin a
         de novo bank in any county in Tennessee with a population, in 1970, of 
         200,000 or less, subject to certain exceptions.  Under Tennessee law, 
         branch banking is permitted in any county in the state.  As to certain
         changes in the laws applicable to banks that were enacted in September
         of 1994, that will go into effect during 1995 and later years, see "--
         Interstate Act."

                 The Corporation's subsidiary banks (the "Subsidiary Banks")
         are subject to supervision and examination by applicable federal and
         state banking agencies.  The Bank is a national banking association
         subject to regulation and supervision by the Comptroller, as is First
         Tennessee Bank National Association Mississippi, which is
         headquartered in Southaven, Mississippi.  The remaining Subsidiary
         Banks are Cleveland Bank and Trust Company and Peoples and Union Bank,
         which are Tennessee state-chartered banks and Planters Bank, which is
         a Mississippi state-chartered bank, none of which are members of the
         Federal Reserve System, and therefore are subject to the regulations
         of and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
         "FDIC") as well as state banking authorities.  The Subsidiary Banks
         are also subject to various requirements and restrictions under
         federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves
         against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that
         may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon and
         limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types
         of services that may be offered.  Various consumer laws and
         regulations also affect the operations of the Subsidiary Banks.  In
         addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected
         significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it
         attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order
         to influence the economy.

         PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

                 The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from
         its banking and other subsidiaries.  The principal source of cash flow
         of the Corporation, including cash flow to pay dividends on its stock
         or principal (premium, if any) and





                                       4
   6

         interest on debt securities, is dividends and interest from the
         Subsidiary Banks.  There are statutory and regulatory limitations on
         the payment of dividends by the Subsidiary Banks to the Corporation,
         as well as by the Corporation to its shareholders.

                 Each Subsidiary Bank that is a national bank is required by
         federal law to obtain the prior approval of the Comptroller for the
         payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the
         board of directors of such Subsidiary Bank in any year will exceed the
         total of (i) its net profits (as defined and interpreted by
         regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits (as
         defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years,
         less any required transfers to surplus.  A national bank also can pay
         dividends only to the extent that retained net profits (including the
         portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by
         regulation).

                 State-chartered banks are subject to varying restrictions on
         the payment of dividends under applicable state laws.  Tennessee law
         imposes dividend restrictions on Tennessee state banks substantially
         similar to those imposed under federal law on national banks, as
         described above.  Mississippi law prohibits Mississippi state banks
         from declaring a dividend without the prior written approval of the
         Mississippi Banking Commissioner.

                 If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory
         authority, a depository institution or a holding company is engaged in
         or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which,
         depending on the financial condition of the depository institution or
         holding company, could include the payment of dividends), such
         authority may require, after notice and hearing, that such institution
         or holding company cease and desist from such practice.  The federal
         banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a
         depository institution's or holding company's capital base to an
         inadequate level would be such an unsafe and unsound banking practice.
         Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller and the FDIC have
         issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and
         insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends
         out of current operating earnings.

                 In addition, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
         Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a FDIC-insured depository
         institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to
         become undercapitalized or once it is under capitalized.  See
         "--FDICIA."

                 At December 31, 1994, under dividend restrictions imposed





                                       5
   7

         under applicable federal and state laws, the Subsidiary Banks, without
         obtaining regulatory approvals, could legally declare aggregate
         dividends of approximately $242.2 million.

                 The payment of dividends by the Corporation and the Subsidiary
         Banks may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the
         requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines.

         TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

                 There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which
         the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise
         obtain credit from the Subsidiary Banks.  There are also legal
         restrictions on the Subsidiary Banks' purchases of or investments in
         the securities of and purchases of assets from the Corporation and its
         nonbank subsidiaries, a bank's loans or extensions of credit to third
         parties, collateralized by the securities or obligations of the
         Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, the issuance of guaranties,
         acceptances and letters of credit on behalf of the Corporation and its
         nonbank subsidiaries, and certain bank transactions with the
         Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, or with respect to which the
         Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, act as agent, participates
         or has a financial interest.  Subject to certain limited exceptions, a
         Subsidiary Bank (including for purposes of this paragraph all
         subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Bank) may not extend credit to the
         Corporation or to any other affiliate (other than another Subsidiary
         Bank) in an amount which exceeds 10% of the Subsidiary Bank's capital
         stock and surplus and may not extend credit in the aggregate to such
         affiliates in an amount which exceeds 20% of its capital stock and
         surplus.  Further, there are legal requirements as to the type, amount
         and quality of collateral which must secure such extensions of credit
         by these banks to the Corporation or to such other affiliates.  Also,
         extensions of credit and other transactions between the Subsidiary
         Bank and the Corporation or such other affiliates must be on terms and
         under circumstances, including credit standards, that are
         substantially the same or at least as favorable to such Subsidiary
         Bank as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
         non-affiliated companies.  Also, the Corporation and its subsidiaries
         are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in
         connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or
         furnishing of services.

         CAPITAL ADEQUACY

                 The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital
         guidelines for bank holding companies.  The minimum guideline for the
         ratio of total capital ("Total Capital") to risk-





                                       6
   8

         weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as
         standby letters of credit) is 8%, and the minimum ratio of Tier 1
         Capital (defined below) to risk-weighted assets is 4%.  At least half
         of the Total Capital must be composed of common stock, minority
         interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,
         noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of
         cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other
         intangible assets ("Tier 1 Capital").  The remainder may consist of
         subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of loan
         loss reserves.  At December 31, 1994, the Corporation's consolidated
         Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios were 9.67% and 12.02%,
         respectively.

                 In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum
         leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies.  These
         guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average
         assets, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (the
         "Leverage Ratio"), of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain
         specific criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating.
         All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a
         Leverage Ratio of at least 3%, plus an additional cushion of 100 to
         200 basis points.  The Corporation's Leverage Ratio at December 31,
         1994 was 6.87%.  The guidelines also provide that bank holding
         companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be
         expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the
         minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible
         assets.  Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it
         will consider a "tangible Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio" (deducting
         all intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in evaluating
         proposals for expansion or new activities.

                 Each of the Subsidiary Banks is subject to risk-based and
         leverage capital requirements similar to those described above adopted
         by the Comptroller or the FDIC, as the case may be.  The Corporation
         believes that each of the Subsidiary Banks was in compliance with
         applicable minimum capital requirements as of December 31, 1994.
         Neither the Corporation nor any of the Subsidiary Banks has been
         advised by any federal banking agency of any specific minimum Leverage
         Ratio requirement applicable to it.

                 Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank to a
         variety of enforcement remedies, including the termination of deposit
         insurance by the FDIC, and to certain restrictions on its business.
         See "--FDICIA."

                 All of the federal banking agencies have proposed regulations
         that would add an additional risk-based capital requirement based upon
         the amount of an institution's exposure





                                       7
   9

         to interest rate risk.  Management of the Corporation is unable to
         predict whether or when capital requirements may be changed and, if
         so, at what levels and on what schedule.

         HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT OF SUBSIDIARY BANKS

                 Because the Corporation is a holding company, its right to
         participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's
         liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of
         the subsidiary's creditors (including depositors in the case of bank
         subsidiaries) except to the extent that the Corporation may itself be
         a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary.


                 Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation is
         expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and commit
         resources to support, each of the Subsidiary Banks.  This support may
         be required at times when, absent such Federal Reserve Board policy,
         the Corporation may not be inclined to provide it.  In addition, any
         capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks
         are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other
         indebtedness of such subsidiary bank.  In the event of a bank holding
         company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a
         federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary
         bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a
         priority of payment.

         CROSS-GUARANTEE LIABILITY

                 Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA"), a
         depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any
         loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC
         after August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly
         controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance
         provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured
         depository institution "in danger of default."  "Default" is defined
         generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in
         danger of default" is defined generally as the existence of certain
         conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence
         of regulatory assistance.  The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to
         claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its
         holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured
         creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of
         the commonly controlled insured depository institution.  The
         Subsidiary Banks are subject to these cross-guarantee provisions.  As
         a result, any loss suffered by the FDIC in respect of any of the
         Subsidiary Banks would likely result in assertion of the
         cross-guarantee provisions, the assessment of such estimated losses
         against the Corporation's other Subsidiary Banks and a potential loss
         of the Corporation's





                                       8
   10

         investment in such Subsidiary Banks.

         FDICIA

                 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
         1991 ("FDICIA") which was enacted on December 19, 1991, substantially
         revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions
         of the FDIA and made revisions to several other federal banking
         statutes.  Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking
         regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of
         FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital
         requirements .  FDICIA establishes five capital tiers:  "well
         capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized,"
         "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized."
         Under applicable regulations, a FDIC-insured depository institution is
         defined to be well capitalized if it maintains a Leverage ratio of at
         least 5%, a risk adjusted Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6% and a
         Total Capital Ratio of at least 10% and is not subject to a directive,
         order or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital
         levels.  An insured depository institution is defined to be adequately
         capitalized if it meets all of its minimum capital requirements as
         described above.  In addition, an insured depository institution will
         be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum
         required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is
         significantly below such measure and critically undercapitalized if it
         fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to not less than 2%
         of total assets.  An insured depository institution may be deemed to
         be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its
         actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination
         rating.

                 The capital-based prompt corrective action provisions of
         FDICIA and their implementing regulations apply to FDIC- insured
         depository institutions and are not directly applicable to holding
         companies which control such institutions.  However, the Federal
         Reserve Board has indicated that, in regulating bank holding
         companies, it will take appropriate action at the holding company
         level based on an assessment of the effectiveness of supervisory
         actions imposed upon subsidiary depository institutions pursuant to
         such provisions and regulations.  

                 FDICIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository
         institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of
         dividends) or paying any management fee to its





                                       9
   11

         holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be
         undercapitalized.  Undercapitalized depository institutions are
         subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System.
         In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to
         growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration
         plans.  A depository institution's holding company must guarantee the
         capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the
         depository institution's assets at the time it becomes
         undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the
         institution fails to comply with the plan for the plan to be accepted
         by the applicable federal regulatory authority.  The federal banking
         agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among
         other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is
         likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital.
         If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is
         treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.

                 Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be
         subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders
         to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized,
         requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of
         deposits from correspondent banks.  Critically undercapitalized
         depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or
         conservator, generally within 90 days of the date on which they become
         critically undercapitalized.

                 The Corporation believes that at December 31, 1994 all of the
         Subsidiary Banks were well capitalized under the criteria discussed
         above.

                 FDICIA contains numerous other provisions, including new
         accounting, audit and reporting requirements, beginning in 1995
         termination of the "too big to fail" doctrine except in special cases,
         limitations on the FDIC's payment of deposits at foreign branches, new
         regulatory standards in such areas as asset quality, earnings and
         compensation and revised regulatory standards for, among other things,
         powers of state banks, real estate lending and capital adequacy.
         FDICIA also requires that a depository institution provide 90 days
         prior notice of the closing of any branches.

                 Various other legislation, including proposals to revise the
         bank regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository
         institution may make with insured funds, is from time to time
         introduced in Congress.  See the "Effect of Governmental Policies"
         subsection.

         INTERSTATE ACT

                 The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency
         Act of 1994 ("Interstate Act"), which was enacted





                                       10
   12

         on September 29, 1994, among other things and subject to certain
         conditions and exceptions, permits on an interstate basis (i) bank
         holding company acquisitions commencing one year after enactment of
         banks (of a minimum age of up to five years as established by state
         law in any state), (ii) mergers of national and state banks after May
         31, 1997 unless the home state of either bank has opted out of the
         interstate bank merger provision, (iii) branching de novo by national
         and state banks if the host state has opted-in to this provision of
         the Interstate Act, and (iv) certain bank agency activities after one
         year after enactment.  The Interstate Act contains a 30% intrastate
         deposit cap, except for the initial acquisition in the state,
         restriction that applies to certain interstate acquisitions unless a
         different intrastate cap has been adopted by the applicable state
         pursuant to the provisions of the Interstate Act and a 10% national
         deposit cap restriction.  Regulations have not yet been issued under
         the Interstate Act.  A bill has been introduced in the Tennessee
         legislature which would repeal the Tennessee Reciprocal Banking Act,
         amend the Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974, and amend Tennessee's
         bank branching laws.  Management can not predict whether or in what
         form the proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business
         of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may be affected.

         BROKERED DEPOSITS AND "PASS-THROUGH" INSURANCE

                 The FDIC has adopted regulations under FDICIA governing the
         receipt of brokered deposits and pass-through insurance.  Under the
         regulations, a bank cannot accept or rollover or renew brokered
         deposits unless (i) it is well capitalized or (ii) it is adequately 
         capitalized and receives a waiver from the FDICIA.  A bank that cannot
         receive brokered deposits also cannot offer "pass-through" insurance
         on certain employee benefit accounts.  Whether or not it has obtained
         such a waiver, an adequately capitalized bank may not pay an interest
         rate on any deposits in excess of 75 basis points over certain 
         prevailing market rates specified by regulation.  There are no such
         restrictions on a bank that is well capitalized.  Because it believes
         that all the Subsidiary Banks were well capitalized as of December 31,
         1994, the Corporation believes the brokered deposits regulation will
         have no material effect on the funding or liquidity of any of the
         Subsidiary Banks.

         FDIC INSURANCE PREMIUMS

                 The Subsidiary Banks are required to pay semiannual FDIC
         deposit insurance assessments.  As required by FDICIA, the FDIC
         adopted a risk-based premium schedule which increased the assessment
         rates for most FDIC-insured depository institutions.  Under the
         schedule, the premiums initially range from $.23 to $.31 for every
         $100 of deposits.  Each





                                       11
   13

         financial institution is assigned to one of three capital groups --
         well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized -- and
         further assigned to one of three subgroups within a capital group, on
         the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary
         federal and, if applicable, state supervisors and other information
         relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed
         to the applicable FDIC deposit insurance fund.  The actual assessment
         rate applicable to a particular institution will, therefore, depend in
         part upon the risk assessment classification so assigned to the
         institution by the FDIC.

                 The FDIC is authorized by federal law to raise insurance
         premiums in certain circumstances.  The law specifies a designated
         reserve ratio target of 1.25 percent of estimated insured deposits and
         requires the FDIC to set assessments at a level to maintain the target
         or, if the reserve ratio is less than the target, to set assessments
         rates at a level sufficient to increase the reserve ratio to the
         target within one year or as otherwise specified by the FDIC under the
         law.  Recently, the FDIC has proposed a resolution to lower premiums,
         but that would depend on achievement of the target ratio, among other
         things, and management of the Corporation can not predict what change
         in premiums, if any may occur.

                 Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the
         FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and
         unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue
         operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order
         or condition imposed by a federal bank regulatory agency.

         DEPOSITOR PREFERENCE

                 The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 provides that
         deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee
         compensation against an insured depositary institution would be
         afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such
         an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the
         "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any
         receiver.

Competition.

         The Corporation and its subsidiaries face substantial competition in
all aspects of the businesses in which they engage from national and state
banks located in Tennessee and large out-of-state banks as well as from savings
and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions, consumer
finance companies, trust companies, investment counseling firms, money market
mutual funds, insurance companies, securities firms, mortgage banking companies
and others.  For information on the





                                       12

competitive position of the Corporation and the Bank, refer to page 1.  Also,
refer to the subsections entitled "Supervision and Regulation" and "Effect of
Governmental Policies," both of which are relevant to an analysis of the
Corporation's competitors.  Due to the intense competition in the financial
industry, the Corporation makes no representation that its competitive position
has remained constant, nor can it predict whether its position will change in
the future.

Sources and Availability of Funds.

         Specific reference is made to the Management's Discussion and Analysis
and Glossary sections, including the subsections entitled "Deposits" and
"Liquidity Management," contained in the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders (the "1994 Annual Report"), which sections are specifically 
incorporated herein by reference, along with all of the tables and graphs in
the 1994 Annual Report, which are identified separately in response to Item 7
of Part II of this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.  As
permitted by SEC rules, attached to this Form 10-K as Exhibit 13 are only those
sections of the 1994 Annual Report that have been incorporated by reference
into this Form 10-K.

Interest Ceiling.

         The maximum rates that can be charged by lenders are governed by
specific state and federal laws.  Most loans made by the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries are subject to the limits contained in Tennessee's general usury
law (the "Usury Law") or the Industrial Loan and Thrift Companies Act (the
"Industrial Loan Act"), with certain categories of loans subject to other state
and federal laws.  The Usury Law provides for a maximum rate of interest which
is the lesser of 4% above the average prime loan rate published by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or 24% per annum.  The Industrial Loan
Act generally provides for a maximum rate of 24% per annum plus certain
additional loan charges.  In addition, state statutory interest rate ceilings
on most first mortgage loans on residential real estate are preempted by
federal law.  Also, Tennessee law permits interest on credit card balances not
to exceed 21% per annum plus certain fees established by contract.

Effect of Governmental Policies.

         The Bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities,
including the Federal Reserve System and the Comptroller.  An important
function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national money
supply.

         Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve
are: purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities in the marketplace;
changes in the discount rate, which is the rate





                                       13
   15

any depository institution must pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve; and
changes in the reserve requirements of depository institutions.  These
instruments are effective in influencing economic and monetary growth, interest
rate levels and inflation.

         The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System and other
governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of
commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the
future.  Because of changing conditions in the national economy and in the
money market, as well as the result of actions by monetary and fiscal
authorities, it is not possible to predict with certainty future changes in
interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the
Corporation and the Bank or whether the changing economic conditions will have
a positive or negative effect on operations and earnings.

         Bills are pending before the United States Congress and the Tennessee
General Assembly which could affect the business of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries, and there are indications that other similar bills may be
introduced in the future.  It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any
of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries may be affected thereby.
