ITEM  2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
- -------   -------------------------------------


     On March 31, 2003, First Security Group, Inc. acquired Premier National
Bank of Dalton pursuant to a merger agreement the terms of which were previously
reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January
10, 2003.  At the time of the merger, Premier National had assets of
approximately $85 million.  Premier National shareholders received .425 shares
of First Security stock for each issued and outstanding share of Premier stock
in the merger.  The total consideration for the acquisition was equal to
$11,487,240 based on the $10 price per share of First Security's stock prior to
the merger.

     The consideration for the merger was determined through analysis of
Premier's recent, unaudited financial performance and was arrived at through
negotiations between the respective chairpersons of First Security and Premier.

     Premier merged with and into Dalton Whitfield Bank, a Georgia
state-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Security, on March 31,
2003 at 4:59 p.m. EST pursuant to articles of merger filed with the Georgia
Secretary of State.  Dalton Whitfield was also a party to the merger agreement.

     On April 1, 2003, First Security issued a press release announcing the
completion of this acquisition which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current
Report.
