NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Tennessee corporation, is the holding
company for Cavalry Banking (the "Bank") which is a state chartered Federal
Reserve member commercial bank. Miller & Loughry Insurance and Services, Inc.
("Miller & Loughry"), an independent insurance agency, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Bank.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Miller &
Loughry, the Bank and the Company. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with Instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001.
2. Acquisitions
On January 4, 2002, Cavalry Banking, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavalry
Bancorp, Inc., completed the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock issued and
outstanding of Miller & Loughry Insurances and Services, Inc., for a cash
purchase price of approximately $2.0 million.
Due to the insignificant effect on the financial position and results of
operations, no pro-forma data of this acquisition is required or presented.
3. Earnings Per Share
The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Diluted common shares arise from the
potentially dilutive effect of the Company's stock options outstanding.

4. Business Segments
The Company and its subsidiary 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, insurance, and mortgage banking
operations. The majority of loans originated for sale are sold with the
servicing rights attached.
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 2001 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.

5. New Accounting Standards Pronouncements
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" issued on June 29, 2001 requires business
combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Specifically identifiable intangible assets
acquired, other than goodwill, will be amortized over their estimated useful
economic life. This pronouncement had no material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", issued on June 29, 2001,
addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group
of other assets should be accounted for in financial statements upon their
acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. This statement results in the end to systematic goodwill
and other intangible amortization and requires impairment testing on those
balances at least annually or if circumstances arise that suggest that
impairment may be an issue. SFAS No. 142 was effective for the Company
beginning on January 1, 2002 and is applicable to all goodwill and other
intangible assets regardless of when those assets were initially recognized.
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," issued in June
2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. This Statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," issued in
August 2001, supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of
a segment of a business. While SFAS No. 144 retains many of the fundamental
provisions of SFAS No. 121, it establishes a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation
issues not previously addressed by SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This Statement did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections," issued in April 2002, rescinds SFAS
No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. Any gain or
loss on the extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item
in prior periods will be reclassified into continuing operations.
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities," issued in June 2002 requires that a liability for a cost associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred
compared to current literature, which recognized a liability when the entity
committed to an exit plan. Management believes that this Statement will not
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
6. Deferred Compensation and Retirement Plans
The Company has entered into separate deferred compensation arrangements
with the Board of Directors and certain senior officers. The plans call for
amounts payable at retirement, death or disability as defined in the agreements.
The estimated present value of the deferred compensation will be accrued over
the remaining expected term of active employment. The Bank has purchased life
insurance policies that it intends to use to finance this liability.

ITEM 2. 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 September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001
Total assets were $436.7 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $432.9
million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $3.8 million or 0.88%. This
increase was primarily a result of an increase in borrowings and retained
earnings. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $69.3 million at December
31, 2001, to $49.0 million at September 30, 2002. Investment securities
available-for-sale increased from $41.8 million at December 31, 2001, to $45.5
million at September 30, 2002. Loans receivable, net increased $18.4 million
from $280.2 million at December 31, 2001, to $298.6 million at September 30,
2002. Office properties and equipment increased from $15.6 million at December
31, 2001 to $18.0 million at September 30, 2002. This increase was a result of
the purchase of land for a future branch location, completion of the first floor
of the Financial Services Building, and purchase of computers and banking
equipment. The first floor of the Financial Services Building now houses Miller
& Loughry, the Investment, Management and Trust Department, and Cavalry
Investment Services. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the
purchase of Miller & Loughry, an independent insurance agency, for $2.0 million.
The increase in goodwill was a result of the purchase of Miller & Loughry.
Deposit accounts decreased $1.1 million from $381.0 million at December 31,
2001, to $379.9 million at September 30, 2002. Certificates of deposit
increased $7.2 million from $145.6 million at December 31, 2001 to $152.8
million at September 30, 2002. Savings deposits increased $2.4 million from
$13.9 million at December 31, 2001 to $16.3 million at September 30, 2002.
Money market accounts decreased $1.0 million from $91.6 million at December 31,
2001 to $90.6 million at September 30, 2002. NOW accounts declined $14.6
million from $81.6 million at December 31, 2001 to $67.0 million at September
30, 2002. Transaction accounts increased $5.0 million from $48.3 million at
December 31, 2001 to $53.3 million at September 30, 2002. Management feels that
these declines are temporary, and will continue to market deposit relationships.
Shareholders' equity increased by $700,000 from $48.8 million at December 31,
2001, to $49.5 million at September 30, 2002. This increase was a result of net
income of $3.3 million and the release of $797,000 in ESOP shares. These
increases were partially offset by dividends of $913,000, the repurchase and
retirement of $2.4 million in Company common stock, and a decrease in unrealized
gains on available-for-sale securities of $37,000, net of taxes.
Non-performing assets were $394,000 at December 31, 2001 and $412,000 at
September 30, 2002.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002
and September 30, 2001.
Net Income. Net income was $1.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
Return on average assets was constant at 0.99% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001. Return on average equity decreased from 8.66% for
the three months ended September 30, 2001, to 8.46% for the same period in 2002.
Earnings per share was $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2002. This increase was primarily a result of higher net
interest income and higher non-interest income. These increases were partially
offset by higher non-interest expenses and a larger provision for losses on
loans.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $100,000 from $3.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $3.9 million for the same
period in 2002. Interest rate spread increased from 3.42% for the three months
ended September 30, 2001, to 3.88% for the same period in 2002. Net interest
margin increased from 4.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to
4.17% for the same period in 2002. The ratio of average interest-earning assets
to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 117.30% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, to 115.22% for the same period in 2002.
Interest income decreased 17.39% to $5.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, from $6.9 million for the same period in 2001. Interest on
loans decreased from $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
to $5.2 million for the same period in 2002. Average loans outstanding
increased from $279.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to
$296.5 million for the same period in 2002. The average yield decreased from
8.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to 6.99% for the same
period in 2002, as a result of declining interest rates. Income on all other
investments consisting of mortgage backed securities, other investments, Federal
Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, bank deposits and federal funds
decreased from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to
$514,000 for the same period in 2002. Average investments decreased from $92.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $79.1 million for the
same period in 2002. The average yield decreased from 4.64% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, to 2.58% for the same period in 2002.
Interest expense decreased from $3.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $1.8 million for the same period in 2002. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased from $316.1 million for the three months
ended September 2001, to $324.4 million for the same period in 2002. This
increase was a result of continuing efforts to increase market share of
deposits. The average cost of deposits decreased from 3.98% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, to 2.17% for the same period in 2002. Average
borrowings increased from $1.0 million at an average cost of 2.34% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 to $1.6 million at an average cost of 2.91% for
the same period in 2002. The total cost of funds decreased from 3.97% for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, to 2.18% for the same period in 2002.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $317.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, to $326.0 million for the same period in 2002.
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 $82,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 to $115,000 for the same period in 2002. Management deemed
the allowance for loan losses adequate at September 30, 2002.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $2.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, to $3.1 million for the same period in
2002. In the mortgage banking segment, net gain on sale of loans increased from
$571,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $974,000 for the same
period in 2002. The higher gain in 2002 was a result of increased production.
Loan servicing fees increased slightly from $59,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $65,000 for the same period in 2002. In the banking
segment, deposit fees and other operating incomes increased from $1.1 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $1.3 million for the same
period in 2002. This increase was primarily a result of increased volume. In
the trust segment, trust fees decreased from $297,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $280,000 for the same period in 2002. This decline was
primarily a result of declining market values of assets under management. The
acquisition of Miller & Loughry contributed commissions and related income
during the three months September 30, 2002.
9
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased from $4.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, to $5.2 million for the same period in
2002. Salaries and employee benefits increased from $2.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 to $3.2 million for the same period in 2002.
This increase was a result of the purchase of Miller & Loughry, increased
commissions, and costs of medical insurance. 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 $713,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $709,000 for the same period in 2001.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001.

2002 compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
Return on average assets increased from 0.99% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, to 1.06% for the same period in 2002. Return on average
equity also increased from 8.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
to 9.01% for the same period in 2002. Earnings per share increased from $0.45
per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $0.50 per
diluted share for the same period in 2002. This increase was primarily a result
of higher net interest income and higher non-interest income. These increases
were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a larger provision for
losses on loans.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $700,000 from $11.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $12.0 million for the same
period in 2002. Interest rate spread increased from 3.56% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, to 4.07% for the same period in 2002. Net interest

$291.5 million for the same period in 2002. The average yield decreased from
8.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to 7.22% for the same period
in 2002, as a result of declining interest rates. Income on all other
investments consisting of mortgage backed securities, other investments, Federal
Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, bank deposits and federal funds
decreased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to
$1.8 million for the same period in 2002. Average investments decreased from
$79.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $78.7 million for
the same period in 2002. The average yield decreased from 5.24% for the nine

the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 2.56% for the same period in 2002.
The total cost of funds decreased from 4.44% for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, to 2.27% for the same period in 2002. Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased from $309.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, to $324.1 million for the same period in 2002.
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 same period in 2002. The higher gain in 2002 was a result of increased
production. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly from $196,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, to $190,000 for the same period in 2002. In
the banking segment, deposit fees and other operating incomes increased from
$3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $3.8 million for
the same period in 2002. In the trust segment, trust fees decreased from
$882,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $832,000 for the same
period in 2002. The acquisition of Miller & Loughry contributed commissions and
related income during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

2002. Salaries and employee benefits increased from $7.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 to $9.0 million for the same period in 2002.
This increase was a result of the purchase of Miller & Loughry, increased
commissions, and costs of medical insurance. 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 $2.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in
2001.
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. The Company and the Bank generally
maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity
needs. At September 30, 2002, cash and cash equivalents totaled $49.0 million
or 11.20% of total assets, and investment securities available-for-sale totaled
$45.5 million. At September 30, 2002, 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 September 30, 2002, the Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2002, under the
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, the Bank's actual leverage, Tier 1
risk-based, and risked-based capital ratios were 9.03%, 12.22% and 13.47%,
respectively, compared to requirements of 3.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.
At September 30, 2002, the Bank had loan commitments of approximately $40.7
million. In addition, at September 30, 2002, the unused portion of lines of
credit extended by the Bank was approximately $6.2 million for consumer loans
and $25.0 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 September 30, 2002, the Bank had $6.7 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
11
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a financial institution, the Company's primary component of market risk is
interest rate risk. Ultimately, fluctuations in interest rates will impact
liquidity, the level of income and expense recorded on most of the Company's
assets and liabilities, and the market value of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The Company is not subject to foreign exchange or
commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets.
Interest rate risk is managed by management in accordance with policies approved
by the Bank's Board of Directors. Management formulates strategies based on
appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level
of interest rate risk, management considers the impact on earnings and capital
of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates,
regional economy, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. Management
meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and
liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market value of assets and
liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sales activities,
commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments. Management
uses an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities to manage interest rate risk.
The following table presents the Company's repricing gap at September 30, 2002.
The table indicates that at September 30, 2002 the Company was liability
sensitive up to six months and had a negative cumulative GAP for the time
periods up to and including one to three year time horizons.

The gap analysis provides the basis for more detailed analysis in a simulation
model. Also gap results are popular rate risk indicators. However, to truly
evaluate the impact of rate change on income, simulation is the best technique
because variables are changed for various rate conditions. Each category's
interest change is calculated as rates ramp up and down. In addition the
prepayment speeds and repricing speeds are changed.
Rate Shock is a method for stress testing the Net Interest Margin (NIM) over the
next four quarters under several rate change levels. These levels span four 100
basis point increments up and down from the current interest rates. In order to
simulate activity, maturing balances are replaced with new balances at the new
rate level and repricing balances are adjusted to the new rate shock level. The
interest is recalculated for each level along with the new average yield. NIM
is then calculated and a margin risk profile is developed. This simulation
reveals that the Bank will experience a loss in Net Interest Income if rates
decline in the next year. The magnitude and severity of potential loss for a
100 basis point decline in rates under projected growth conditions would be a
decline of 15 basis points.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the ninety days prior to the filing of this report, the Company's
management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.
There were no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies of material weaknesses) in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors subsequent to the date of the evaluation that could
significantly affect these controls.
