AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Management Opinion In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary 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 condensed consolidated 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 and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are calculated after the effect of 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 September 30, 1995, the Company had not identified any loans which would be considered impaired under the above provisions and at September 30, 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 September 30, 1996 is primarily related to completion and equipping of branches in Church Hill and Rogersville, Tennessee and construction-in- progress relating to the construction of permanent banking facilities in Rogersville. 5 7 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Non-interest Expense Other non-interest expense increased by $250,262 from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996. Salaries and employee benefits for the period ended September 30, 1996 have increased due to the addition of personnel associated with opening of branches in Church Hill and Rogersville, Tennessee. The increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expense 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, promoting the new branches and overall growth. 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 September 30 , 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. 6 8 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC.

The commitments and contingent liabilities may include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and litigation. In the opinion of management, no material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or operating results of the Company and its subsidiary is anticipated as a result of these items. 8. Profit-Sharing Plan The Company's subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of East Tennessee, adopted a profit-sharing retirement plan on July 1, 1995. All employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate on a voluntary basis. Benefits, which become 20% vested after two years, 40% after three years, 60% after four years, 80% after five years, and 100% after nine years, are paid on death, disability or retirement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 OPERATING RESULTS The Company reported net income for the third quarter of $53,366, or $0.11 per weighted average common share, compared to a net loss of ($59,279), or ($0.15) for the same period a year ago. Our returns on average assets and average common equity were 0.10% and 1.83%, respectively, for the quarter compared to (0.19%) and (2.80%) for the same period last year. The net income for the first nine months of 1996 was $40,059, or $0.08 per weighted average common share. This compares to a net loss of ($94,134), or ($0.23) per weighted average common share, for the same period last year. Net interest income for the third quarter of 1996 increased $436,269 versus the third quarter of 1995 to $1,290,190. The increase is attributable to growth in interest earning assets of 64.62%. Average loans grew 78.18% over the third quarter of 1995 as a result of the opening of the new branches. The growth in loans from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996 is attributable to an increase of approximately $1,458,000 in commercial loans, approximately $8,420,000 in real estate loans ($5,794,000 secured by 1-4 single family residences), and approximately $2,585,000 in consumer loans. Total Bank assets were $58,014,454 at September 30, 1996 compared to $34,887,109 as of September 30, 1995. The net interest margin was 4.06% for the third quarter of 1996 compared to 4.52% for the third quarter of 1995. The net spread was 3.50% for the third quarter of 1996 compared to 3.31% for the third quarter of 1995. The yield on the investment portfolio was 6.44% for the third quarter of 1996 compared to 7.97% for the same quarter of 1995. The higher level of interest income from loans was offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in the yield on the investment portfolio. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1996 increased $27,645 over the third quarter of 1995. The growth is attributable to service charges on deposit accounts and other fees. Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 1996 increased $35,970 compared to the third 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 Non-performing assets at September 30, 1996 were $369,000 or 1.14% of loans and foreclosed properties, which is a decrease from $277,000, or 1.46% of loans and foreclosed properties at September 30, 1995. The provision for losses on loans was $32,500 for the third quarter of 1996 which is an increase of $17,500 over the second quarter of 1996 and an increase of $23,500 over the provision for the third quarter of 1995. The increase in the provision is primarily attributable to the increase in loan growth. At September 30, 1996, the allowance for losses on loans was 1.38% of loans and approximately 120% of non-performing assets. 11 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2.
