Business Segments The Company and its subsidiaries provide community oriented banking services to individuals and businesses primarily within Rutherford and Bedford counties in Middle Tennessee. The Company's segments are identified by the products and services offered, principally distinguished as banking, trust and mortgage banking operations. The majority of loans originated for sale are sold with the servicing rights attached. One unrelated entity purchased approximately 50% of mortgage loans sold in 2000 and 2001. Segment information is derived from the internal reporting system utilized by management with accounting policies and procedures consistent with those described in Note 1 of the 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders. Segment performance is evaluated by the Company based on profit or loss before income taxes. Revenue, expense, and asset levels reflect those which can be specifically identified and those assigned based on internally developed allocation methods. These methods have been consistently applied.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, rather statements based on the Company's current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes; and other factors disclosed periodically in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 Total assets were $408.7 million at March 31, 2001, compared to $384.3 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $24.4 million or 6.35%. This increase in assets was funded by increased deposits and equity. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $45.0 million at December 31, 2000, to $55.1 million at March 31, 2001. Investments available for sale increased from $32.2 million at December 31, 2000, to $40.6 million at March 31, 2001. Loans receivable net decreased $1.2 million from $279.5 million at December 31, 2000, to $278.3 million at March 31, 2001. Office properties and equipment increased from $15.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $15.5 million at March 31, 2001. Deposit accounts increased $23.2 million from $336.5 million at December 31, 2000, to $359.7 million at March 31, 2001. Certificates of deposit increased $4.8 million from $162.5 million at December 31, 2000, to $167.3 million at March 31, 2001. Savings deposits increased $1.0 million from $13.2 million at December 31, 2000, to $14.2 million at March 31, 2001. Money market accounts increased $10.0 million from $69.8 million at December 31, 2000, to $79.8 million at March 31, 2001. NOW accounts declined slightly from $52.3 million at December 31, 2000, to $51.7 million at March 31, 2001. Non interest-bearing accounts increased $8.2 million from $38.6 million at December 31, 2000, to $46.8 million at March 31, 2001. These increases were primarily a result of an ongoing effort to raise the deposit base for the Bank. Equity increased by $1.3 million from $44.0 million at December 31, 2000, to $45.3 million at March 31, 2001, as a result of net income of $957,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, release of ESOP shares of $267,000 and release of Management Recognition Plan (MRP) shares of $242,000 and an unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $124,000 net of taxes. These increases were offset by dividends declared of $310,000. Non-performing assets were $209,000 at December 31, 2000 and $243,000 at March 31, 2001. 7 Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000. Net Income. Net income was $957,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $828,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was primarily a result of higher interest income and higher non-interest income. These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense, higher non-interest expenses and a larger provision for loan losses. The Company expects to see downward pressure on earnings as a result of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Board. As a result of these Fed rate cuts, banks have cut the prime rate in a similar manner. The majority of the Bank's construction loan portfolio is tied to this prime rate and adjusts immediately with changes in the prime rate. These declines have a short-term negative impact on interest income. Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained constant at $3.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 2001. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 116.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 116.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Interest income increased 7.14% to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, from $7.0 million for the same period in 2000. Interest on loans increased from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $6.5 million for the same period in 2001. This was a result of average loans outstanding increasing from $274.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $283.4 million for the same period in 2001. The average yield increased from 8.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 9.29% for the same period in 2001 as a result of increased amortization of deferred fees. Income on all other investments consisting of mortgage backed securities, investments, FHLB stock, bank deposits and federal funds increased from $851,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $1.0 million for the same period in 2001. Average investments increased from $56.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $67.8 million for the same period in 2001. The average yield decreased from 6.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 6.03% for the same period in 2001. Interest expense increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $3.9 million for the same period in 2001. Average deposits increased from $275.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $300.9 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was a result of continuing efforts to increase market share of deposits. The average cost of deposits increased from 4.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 4.89% for the same period in 2001. Average borrowings decreased from $8.9 million at an average cost of 5.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $1.5 million at an average cost of 3.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The total cost of funds increased from 4.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 4.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $284.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $302.4 million for the same period in 2001. Interest rate spread decreased from 4.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 3.78% for the same period in 2001. Net interest margin decreased from 4.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to 4.45% for the same period in 2001. Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses are charges to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as adequate to provide for estimated loan losses based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. Management also considers the level of problem assets, giving greater weight to the level of classified assets than to the level of nonperforming assets because classified assets include not only nonperforming assets but also performing assets that otherwise exhibit, in management's judgment, potential credit weaknesses. The provision for loan losses increased from $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in the provision was primarily a result of increases in total loans outstanding between the two periods. Management deemed the allowance for loan losses adequate at March 31, 2001. Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $1.8 million for the same period in 2001. In the mortgage banking segment, net gain on sale of loans increased from $314,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $403,000 for the same period in 2001. The higher gain in 2001 was a result of increased production and mortgage refinancing activity. Loan servicing fees increased slightly from $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $75,000 for the same period in 2001. In the banking segment, deposit fees and other operating incomes increased from $699,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $991,000 for the same period in 2001. This increase was a result of growth in the number of transaction accounts and increased charges. The Bank also implemented an overdraft privilege program coupled with a new free checking account program. These factors also helped to increase deposit and overdraft fees. In the trust segment, trust fees increased from $267,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $293,000 for the same period in 2001 as a result of increased trust assets under management. 8 Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, to $3.9 million for the same period in 2001. Compensation and other employee benefits were constant at $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily a result of the opening of the new operations building and increases in the cost of utilities. The increases in other expenses were primarily due to increased loan and deposit activity. Income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $704,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $627,000 for the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily a result of higher income before taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments, sale of loans, maturing securities and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are influenced greatly by general interest rates, other economic conditions, and competition. Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), the Bank's primary regulator, require the Bank to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient liquidity to fund loan originations, deposit withdrawals and to satisfy other financial commitments. Currently, the OTS regulatory liquidity for the Bank is the maintenance of an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash and eligible investments) equal to at least 4% of the daily balance of net withdrawal deposits and short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement is subject to periodic change. The Company and the Bank generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.1 million or 13.48% of total assets, and investments available-for-sale totaled $40.6 million. At March 31, 2001, the Bank also maintained, but did not draw upon, a line of credit with the FHLB of Cincinnati in the amount of $10.0 million. As of March 31, 2001, the Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2001, under regulations of the OTS, the Bank's actual tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios were 10.45%, 10.45% and 12.35%, respectively, compared to requirements of 1.5%, 3.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had loan commitments of approximately $33.0 million. In addition, at March 31, 2001, the unused portion of lines of credit extended by the Bank was approximately $9.7 million for consumer loans and $25.4 million for commercial loans. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had $6.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced internally and by the OTS. Based on internal reviews, management does not believe that there has been a material change in the Company's interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 2000, to March 31, 2001. However, the OTS results are not yet available for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions. Management cannot predict what assumptions are made by the OTS, which can vary from management's assumptions. Therefore, the results of the OTS calculations can differ from management's internal calculations. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000. 9 The following table presents the Company's maturity gap at March 31, 2001 (In thousands).
