ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                       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, 1999 and 1998, 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.

                     VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

         Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                  Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal quarters
     beginning after June 15, 2000 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.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

                                OPERATING RESULTS

The Company reported net income for the third quarter of $209,277, or $0.39 per
common share, compared to net income of $148,048, or $0.27 for the same period a
year ago. Our returns on average assets and average common equity were 0.20% and
5.12%, respectively, for the quarter compared to 0.16% and 3.57% for the same
period last year.

The net income for the first nine months of 1999 was $542,800, or $1.01 per
common share. This compares to net income of $309,312, or $0.57 per common
share, for the same period last year.

Net interest income for the first nine months of 1999 increased $484,095 versus
the first nine months of 1998 to $2,683,210. The increase is attributable to
growth in interest earning assets of 9.17%. Average loans grew 14.88% over the
third quarter of 1998. Total Company assets were $104,918,529 at September 30,
1999 compared to $93,835,567 as of September 30, 1998.

The net interest margin (taxable equivalent basis) was 4.06% for the third
quarter of 1999 compared to 3.80% for the third quarter of 1998. The yield on
the investment portfolio was 5.97% for the third quarter of 1999 compared to
6.52% for the third quarter of 1998. The lower level of interest income from
loans and securities was offset by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1999 increased $68,752 over the
third quarter of 1998. The growth is attributable to service charges on deposit
accounts and other fees. Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 1999
increased $212,028 compared to the third quarter of 1998 primarily as a result
of the growth the Bank has experienced in the past year.

                                  ASSET QUALITY

Non-performing assets at September 30, 1999 were $378,000 or 0.56% of loans and
foreclosed properties, compared to $398,000, or 0.68% of loans and foreclosed
properties at September 30, 1998. The provision for losses on loans was $60,000
for the third quarter of 1999 and 1998. At September 30, 1999, the allowance for
losses on loans was 1.33% of loans and approximately 236% of non-performing
assets.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    AS OF AND FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 poses serious challenges to the banking industry. Many experts
believe that even the most prepared organizations may encounter some
implementation problems. The federal banking agencies are concerned that
financial institutions avoid major disruptions to service and operations. All
banks are required to have an action plan to address Year 2000 issues which must
include an indication of management awareness of the problems and the commitment
to solutions; identification of external risks; and operational issues that are
relevant to a bank's Year 2000 planning.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") has issued
guidelines and target time frames to accomplish critical actions concerning Year
2000 compliance:

         * By September 30, 1997, all banks should have identified affected
applications and data bases. Mission critical applications should be identified
and an action plan set for Year 2000 work.

         * By December 31, 1998, code enhancements and revisions, hardware
upgrades, and other associated changes should have been largely completed by all
banks. In addition, for mission critical applications, programming changes
should have largely completed and testing should have been well underway.

         * Between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999, banks should be
testing and implementing their Year 2000 conversion programs.

External factor which may adversely affect the Company include reliance on
vendors, such as third-party data processing services and software and hardware
vendors; electronic data-sensitive exchange among other financial institutions
which may not be Year 2000 compliant; corporate customers of the Company and
other debtors.

The Company has been assessing its state of readiness by evaluating its
information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems. IT systems commonly include
data processing, accounting and telephone systems. With respect to its IT
systems, the Company estimates that its Year 2000 identification, assessment,
and remediation efforts are substantially complete. During 1998, the Company's
need for additional computing capacity led it to lease a new IT system for a
period of five years at annual rent of approximately $75,000. This system is
certified to be Year 2000 compliant and the Company has tested the system to
ensure that it is working properly. The Company has assessed its Year 2000
status in regard to non-IT systems and has determined that no material risk
exists.

The Company has communicated with its significant vendors in order to determine
the extent to which interfaces with such entities are vulnerable to Year 2000
issues and whether the products and services purchased from such entities are
Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received either verbal or written assurance
from these vendors that they expect to address all their significant Year 2000
issues on a timely basis. With respect to significant borrowers and depositors,
the Company does not anticipate any material Year 2000 issues.

The Company believes the cost of its further Year 2000 identification,
assessment, remediation and testing efforts will not exceed $10,000.
