AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Adoption of Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Prior periods have been restated to conform to the presentation for the current period. SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and the Extinguishment of Liabilities," establishes, among other things, new criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets for cash or other considerations should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also establishes new accounting requirements for pledged collateral. As issued, SFAS No. 125 is generally effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996 and should be applied on a prospective basis. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 122 and itself amends various previous pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Adoption by the Company on January 1, 1997 did not have a material impact upon the Company's financial position or results of operation. SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999 unless adopted earlier. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have any material impact upon financial position or results of operations. 7 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC.

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. 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 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT To the Board of Directors Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. Rogersville, Tennessee We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months then ended and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months then ended, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the representation of the management of Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. A review of interim financial statements consists primarily of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997 OPERATING RESULTS The Company reported net income for the third quarter of $148,048, or $0.27 per weighted average common share, compared to net income of $70,751, or $0.13 for the same period a year ago. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 0.16% and 3.57%, respectively, for the quarter compared to 0.10% and 2.00% for the same period last year. The net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $309,312, or $0.57 per weighted average common share. This compares to net income of $139,269, or $0.26 per weighted average common share, for the same period last year. Net interest income for the first nine months of 1998 increased $474,777 versus the first nine months of 1996 to $2,199,115. The increase is attributable to growth in interest earning assets of 30.49%. Average loans grew 32.04% over the third quarter of 1997. Total Company assets were $93,835,567 at September 30, 1998 compared to $71,665,445 as of September 30, 1997. The net interest margin (taxable equivalent basis) was 3.80% for the third quarter of 1998 compared to 3.96% for the third quarter of 1997. The yield on the investment portfolio was 6.52% for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997. The higher level of interest income from loans and securities was offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1998 increased $32,002 over the third quarter of 1997. The growth is attributable to service charges on deposit accounts and other fees. Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 1998 increased $76,231 compared to the third quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of the growth the Bank has experienced in the past year. ASSET QUALITY Non-performing assets at September 30, 1998 were $398,000 or 0.68% of loans and foreclosed properties, compared to $346,000, or 0.58% of loans and foreclosed properties at September 30, 1997. The provision for losses on loans was $60,000 for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997. At September 30, 1998, the allowance for losses on loans was 1.31% of loans and approximately 191% of non-performing assets. 11 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 2.
