AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Management Opinion In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the financial results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto. 2. Weighted average common shares outstanding Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are calculated after giving retroactive effect to a 300 for 1 stock split effective June 14, 1995. 3. Adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) on Impaired Loans On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118. "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. SFAS No 114 prescribes a valuation methodology for impaired loans as defined by the standard. Generally, a loan is considered impaired if management believes that it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms as stipulated in the loan agreement. An impaired loan must be valued using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or fair value of the loan's underlying collateral. At March 31, 1995 the Company had not identified any loans which would be considered impaired under the above provisions and at March 31, 1996 the amount of impaired loans under these provisions were not considered material. 4. Premises and Equipment, net The significant increase in premises and equipment, net at March 31, 1996 is primarily related to completion and equipping of branches in Church Hill and Rogersville, Tennessee and construction-in-progress related to the construction of permanent banking facilities in Rogersville. 5. Non-interest Expense Other non-interest expense increased by $151,232 from March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. Salaries and employee benefits for the period ended September 30, 1995 have increased due to the addition of personnel associated with the opening of branches in Church Hill and Rogersville, Tennessee. The increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses is also a result of the opening of the new branches. The increase in other non-interest expense is attributable to costs associated with changing the name of the Bank and promoting the new branches. 7 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Long-term debt The Company's long-term debt consists of a single note payable in the amount of $3,450,000 due an unaffiliated national bank. The interest rate on the note adjusts quarterly and is equal to the three-months London Interbank Offered Rate (Three Month LIBOR) plus 2.25% per annum or at the option of the Company the rate on the note is equal to the lender's index rate as such rate changes from time to time. The Company may change interest rate options at any time with prior notice to the lender. Interest is payable quarterly. At March 31, 1996 the rate on the note was 8.25% per annum. Principal is payable annually commencing January 31, 1997 and each January 1 thereafter as follows: January 31, Principal Due ----------- ------------- 1997 $185,000 1998 220,000 1999 255,000 2000 295,000 2001 325,000 2002 360,000 2003 395,000 2004 435,000 2005 470,000 2006 (Final Maturity) 510,000 The loan is secured by all of the stock of Citizens Bank of East Tennessee owned by the Company. 7. Contingencies During the course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the accompanying balance sheet. The commitments and contingent liabilities may include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and litigation.

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Stock Offering At March 31, 1996 the Company had sold 49,922 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock for an aggregate consideration of $449,220 pursuant to the Company's offering which became effective September 11, 1995. Proceeds of the offering have been used to offset expenses of the offering, increase the capital of the subsidiary Bank and pay interest on the Company's long-term debt. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 Operating Results The Company experienced a net loss for the first quarter of 1996 of ($38,464) or ($0.09) per common share compared to a net income for the first quarter of 1995 of $533. Our returns on average assets and average common equity for the first quarter of 1996 were (0.05%) and (1.48%), respectively, compared to 0.00% and 0.02%, respectively, or negligible returns for the first quarter of 1995. Net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 increased $82,858 versus the first quarter of 1995 to $367,367. The increase is attributable to loan growth and a higher investment portfolio yield. Average loans grew 76.77% over the first quarter of 1995. The growth in loans from March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 is attributable to an increase of approximately $415,000 in commercial loans, approximately $6,388,000 in real estate loans ($3,118,000 secured by 1-4 single family residences), and approximately $2,831,000 in consumer loans. Total Bank assets were $48,513,294 at March 31, 1996 compared to $25,976,466 as of March 31, 1995. The net interest margin was 2.95% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 3.4% for the first quarter of 1995. The yield on the investment portfolio was 6.29% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 5.73% for the same quarter of 1995. The higher level of interest income from loans and securities was offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and the Company's long-term debt which was utilized to increase the capital of the Company's subsidiary Bank. Non-interest income for the first quarter of 1996 increased $15,228 over the first quarter of 1995. The growth is attributable to service charges on deposit accounts and other fees. Non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased $151,232 compared to the first quarter of 1995 primarily for costs (including salaries and employee compensation) associated with opening and staffing new branches in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee. ASSET QUALITY Asset quality measures continue to improve. Non-performing assets at March 31, 1996 were $263,000 or 1.07% of loans and foreclosed properties, which is a decrease from $288,000, or 2.15% of loans and foreclosed properties at March 31, 1995. The provision for losses on loans was $15,000 for the first quarter of 1996 which is an increase of $6,000 over the provision of $9,000 for the first quarter of 1995. The increase in the provision is primarily attributable to the increase in loan growth. At March 31, 1996, the allowance for losses on loans was 1.65% of loans and approximately 155% of non-performing assets. OUTLOOK While not pleased with the Company's results for the first quarter of 1996, we are essentially where we thought we would be after expanding into new markets in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee and incurring the costs to staff these locations and capitalize the Bank at the levels required by regulators. Common stock sales, to date, are somewhat less than we originally anticipated. We believe that stock sales will increase during the third quarter of 1996 as the offering nears its expiration date. The growth in 10 banking assets continues and we see no reason why such growth trends should not continue. As banking assets increase, the Company's ability to absorb the negative impact of interest costs attributable to long-term debt used to capitalize the Company's subsidiary Bank and other noninterest expenses will be enhanced and should result in improved performance. 11 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC.
