INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 

 
 
To the Audit Committee
of Cavalry Bancorp, Inc.
Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2003, the Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 (1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of Operations and Customer Concentration
Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a bank holding company incorporated in the state of Tennessee. The Company’s principal business activities are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cavalry Banking (the “Bank”), which is a state chartered commercial bank engaged in the business of accepting deposits and providing mortgage, consumer, construction and commercial loans to the general public through its retail banking offices. The Bank’s business activities are primarily limited to within Rutherford County and adjacent counties of Tennessee. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. Deposits at the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (“TDFI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) and the FDIC.
 
A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans and loan commitments are secured by real estate in the Middle Tennessee market. In addition, foreclosed real estate is located in this same market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate is susceptible to changes in local market conditions.
 
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
 
Definitive Merger Agreement with Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.
Effective September 30, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (Pinnacle) pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Pinnacle with Pinnacle as the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the definitive merger agreement, Company shareholders will receive 0.95 shares of Pinnacle common stock for every one share of Company common stock owned by them at the effective time of the merger. Consummation of this merger is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Subject to approval, the transaction is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary Miller & Loughry Insurance and Services, Inc. and other insignificant subsidiaries (collectively the Company). Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation under the equity method.
 
Accounting
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices in the banking industry.
 
Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for loan losses and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
 
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include cash and demand and time deposits at other financial institutions, including federal funds sold, with remaining maturities of three months or less.

 (1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Investment Securities
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company is required to report debt, readily-marketable equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities in one of the following categories: (i) “held-to-maturity” (management has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity) which are to be reported at amortized cost adjusted, in the case of debt securities, for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts; (ii) “trading” (held for current resale) which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and (iii) “available-for-sale” (all other debt, equity, mortgage-backed and mortgage related securities) which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported net of tax as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. At the time of new securities purchases, a determination is made as to the appropriate classification. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in net income. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in shareholders’ equity, net of any tax effect. Realized gains or losses from the sale of securities are recognized upon realization using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized and accreted to income as an adjustment to the securities’ yields using the interest method.
 
Loans Receivable
Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees and unearned discounts. Unearned discounts on installment loans are recognized as income over the term of the loans using the interest method.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans adjusted for estimated prepayments based on the Company’s historical prepayment experience, using a method that approximates the interest method. Loans are considered past due based on contractual terms. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt as to timely collection of principal or interest exists, or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, liquidation value, and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay. Generally, at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any unpaid interest previously accrued on these loans is reversed from income. Thereafter, interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as interest income only to the extent that cash is received and future collection of principal is not in doubt. If the collectibility of outstanding principal is doubtful, such cash received is applied as a reduction of principal. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accruing status when principal and interest are no longer past due and unpaid and future collection of principal and interest on a timely basis is not in doubt.
 
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is 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. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses.
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. The pronouncements apply to impaired loans except for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment including residential mortgage and installment loans.
 
Loans are considered to be impaired when, in management’s judgment, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When conducting loan evaluations, management considers various factors such as historical loan performance, the financial condition of the borrower and adequacy of collateral to determine if a loan is impaired.

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

 (1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Loans Receivable (Continued)
Loans not on nonaccrual status are classified as impaired in certain cases when there is inadequate protection by the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. In those cases, such loans have a well-defined weakness that might jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status.
 
The measurement of impaired loans generally is based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that collateral-dependent loans generally are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. When the measured amount of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded as a charge to income and a valuation allowance which is included as a component of the allowance for loan losses. The charge-off policy for impaired loans is similar to the charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible.
 
Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market value, which is determined by outstanding commitments from investors at the balance sheet date. These loans are valued on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance through charges to income. Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are determined using the specific identification method.
 
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets include property acquired through foreclosure and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure results when a borrower voluntarily transfers title to the Company in full settlement of the related debt in an attempt to avoid foreclosure. Foreclosed assets are valued at the date of acquisition and thereafter at the lower of fair value less costs to sell or the Company’s net investment in the loan and subsequent improvements to the property. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, while holding costs of the property are charged to expense in the period incurred. Gains or losses resulting from the disposition of property are recognized in the current period’s operations.
 
Office Properties and Equipment
Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 3 to 40 years. All office properties and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method. Gain or loss on items retired or otherwise disposed of is credited or charged to operations and cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts.
 
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements of premises and equipment are capitalized and those for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.
 
Goodwill
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually.
 
Intangible Asset
The intangible asset for insurance contracts is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated period of benefit of eight years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the intangible asset and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant a revised estimate of the useful life or indicates that impairment exists.
 
Advertising
The Company expenses the production cost of advertising as incurred.
 
Income Taxes
Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. To the extent that current available evidence about the future raises doubt about the realization of a deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance must be established.

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
 
(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Income Taxes (Continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company files consolidated federal income and combined state franchise and excise tax returns. All taxes are accrued on a separate entity basis.
 
During 2005, the Company underwent an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination covering tax year 2003. No material adjustments were recorded and no material tax penalties were assessed as a result of this examination.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Accordingly, such estimates involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
 
The following are the more significant methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values, because they mature within 90 days or less and do not present credit risk concerns.
 
Investment securities available-for-sale: Fair values for investment securities available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
 
Loans receivable: The fair values for loans receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis which considers future repricing dates and estimated repayment dates, and further using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics.
 
Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on investor commitments, or in the absence of such commitments, on current investor yield requirements.
 
Accrued interest receivable: Fair value is estimated to approximate the carrying amount because such amounts are expected to be received within 90 days or less and any credit concerns have been previously considered in the carrying value.
 
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no stated maturity such as demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair values for certificates of deposit and other fixed maturity time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on such type accounts to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits.
 
Advances from the FHLB: The fair value of these advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of these advances using the current rates at which similar advances could be obtained.

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Commitments to extend credit: Commitments to extend credit were evaluated and fair value was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. However, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit do not represent a significant value to the Company until such commitments are funded. The Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments is not significant. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
 
Sale and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
The Company sells mortgage loans for cash proceeds equal to the principal amount of the loans sold but with yield rates which reflect the current market rate. Gain or loss is recorded at the time of sale in an amount reflecting the difference between the contractual interest rates of the loans sold and the current market rate. Certain loans are sold with the servicing retained by the Company. Servicing income is recognized as collected and is based on the normal agency servicing fee as defined by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other investor agreements. For mortgage servicing rights that are created through the origination of mortgage loans, and where the loans are subsequently sold or securitized with servicing rights retained, the Company allocates the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. The Company periodically makes an assessment of capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the current fair value of those rights.
 
Fees earned for servicing loans are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are amortized, as a reduction to loan service fee income, using the interest method over the estimated remaining life of the underlying mortgage loans. MSR assets are carried at fair value and impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance.
 
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share (EPS) consists of two separate components, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents (CSE). CSE consists of dilutive stock options granted through the Company’s stock option plan. Common stock equivalents which are considered antidilutive are not included for the purposes of this calculation. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Corporation had stock options that were not included in the quarterly computation of diluted earnings per share because their impact was antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, all outstanding stock options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company accounted for the original issuance of its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a component of equity recorded in a contra-equity account. Compensation expense was recognized over the allocation period based upon the fair value of shares committed to be released to employees. The Company accounted for the shares acquired by the ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 and, therefore, shares controlled by the ESOP were not considered in the weighted average shares outstanding until the shares were committed to be released.
 
Stock Options
The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS No. 123 requires entities which continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to provide pro-forma earnings per share disclosure for stock option grants made in 1995 and subsequent years as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

Stock Options (Continued)
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB No. 123, provides that an entity that has transitioned to the accounting treatment prescribed by SFAS No. 123 may use the intrinsic value method in lieu of the fair value based method for determining the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure in addition to SFAS No. 123 if APB opinion No. 25 is currently being applied.
 
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the Company’s stock option plan because the stock option price is equal to or greater than the fair value at the grant date. Following is a reconciliation of reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue 03-01, Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment, which addressed other-than-temporary impairment for certain debt and equity investments. The recognition and measurement requirements of Issue 03-01, and other disclosure requirements not already implemented, were effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1, which delayed the effective date for certain measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-01. The FSP requires the application of pre-existing other-than-temporary guidance during the period of delay until a final consensus is reached.
 
On November 3, 2005, FSP FAS Nos. 115-1 and FAS 124-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” was issued.  This FSP nullifies certain requirements of Issue 03-01 and supersedes EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.”  This FSP nullified the requirements of paragraphs 10-18 of Issue 03-01, carried forward the requirements of paragraph 8 and 9 of Issue 03-01 with respect to cost-method investments and carries forward the disclosure requirements included in paragraphs 21 and 22 of Issue 03-01 and related examples.  The guidance in this FSP shall be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this FSP in 2006 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. This statement amends the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged and more broadly provides for exceptions regarding exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. This Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123R establishes accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees and carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. The provisions of this statement are effective (as amended by the SEC) for annual fiscal reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R requires an entity to recognize compensation expense based on an estimate of the number of awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of awards expected to be forfeited. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, providing guidance on option valuation methods, the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment arrangements upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, and the disclosures in MD&A subsequent to the adoption. The Company will provide SAB 107 required disclosures upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific or cumulative effects of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Position (SOP) 94-6-1, Terms of Loan Products That May Give Rise to a Concentration of Credit Risk, which addresses the disclosure requirements for certain nontraditional mortgage and other loan products, the aggregation of which may constitute a concentration of credit risk under existing accounting literature.

 (1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Pursuant to this SOP, the FASB’s intentions were to reemphasize the adequacy of such disclosures and noted that the recent popularity of certain loan products such as negative amortization loans, high loan-to-value loans, interest only loans, teaser rate loans, option adjusted rate mortgage loans and other loan product types may aggregate to the point of being a concentration of credit risk to an issuer and thus may require enhanced disclosures under existing guidance. This SOP was effective immediately. The Company has evaluated the impact of this SOP and has concluded that the disclosures are consistent with the objectives of the SOP.
 
Reclassification
Certain 2004 and 2003 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2005 presentation.
 
(2)   Cash:
The Company is required to maintain cash on hand or in the FRB account for various regulatory purposes. During 2005 and 2004, such required cash averaged approximately $2,211,000 and $5,158,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had 74 securities in a loss position. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2005 represents an other-than-temporary impairment. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and individually were 4.25% or less of their respective amortized cost basis. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities contained in the previous table for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost.

In years ended December 31, 1995 and prior, the Bank was allowed under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct, subject to certain conditions, an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts (reserve method) in determining taxable income. Legislation enacted in August 1996 repealed the reserve method effective for the Bank for the year ended December 31, 1996. Therefore, retained earnings at December 31, 2005 and 2004 includes approximately $2,861,000 which represents such bad debt deductions for which no deferred income taxes have been provided.

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires that the tax benefit of deductible temporary differences be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such temporary differences to be “more likely than not.” In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences depends on whether the Company has sufficient taxable income within the carryback and carryforward period permitted by tax law to allow for utilization of the deductible amounts. Taxable income in the carryback period and estimates of taxable income in the carryforward period were expected to be sufficient to utilize such differences. As such, no valuation allowance was established at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
 
(10)     Employee Benefit Plans:
401(k) Plan - The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan, which is available to all employees who meet minimum eligibility requirements. Participants may generally contribute up to 15% of earnings, and, in addition, management will match employee contributions up to 4%. Additionally, management may make a discretionary contribution up to 2% of employees’ earnings to the Plan on the employees’ behalf. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2003, this discretionary contribution was made. For the year ended December 31, 2004, no discretionary contribution was made. Expense related to Company contributions amounted to $518,000, $372,000 and $476,000 in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Cavalry Banking ESOP is a noncontributory retirement plan adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1998 which includes all employees who meet minimum eligibility requirements. The ESOP acquired 603,060 shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the time of conversion at a price of $10 per share with proceeds of a loan from the Corporation in the amount of approximately $6,031,000. The Bank made periodic cash contributions to the ESOP in an amount sufficient for the ESOP to make the scheduled payments under the note payable to the Corporation. In connection with a cash distribution, the ESOP received approximately $4.5 million on its shares of the Corporation’s common stock. The ESOP purchased an additional 321,305 shares with the proceeds.
 
The off-balance sheet note payable had a term of 12 years, bore interest at 8.5% and required a level quarterly payment of principal and interest of approximately $202,000. The note was collateralized by the shares of common stock held by the ESOP. The note payable was paid in full during 2004, thereby releasing the remaining encumbered shares.

(10)    Employee Benefit Plans: (Continued)
 
The Company recognized approximately $6,516,000 and $1,668,000 in compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the ESOP, of which approximately $2,373,000 and $684,000 reduced the cost of unallocated ESOP shares and $4,143,000 and $984,000 increased common stock on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares of approximately $114,000 and $82,000 were utilized to release unallocated shares. As a result of repayment of the note payable and release of the shares during 2004, the Company recorded a one-time, pre-tax charge of $5,144,000. No compensation expense related to the ESOP was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2005 as a result of the repayment of the note payable during 2004.
 
The cost of the unallocated shares was reflected as a reduction of equity. Unallocated shares were considered neither outstanding shares for computation of basic earnings per share nor potentially dilutive securities for computation of diluted earnings per share. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares were reflected as a reduction in the note payable. The ESOP held 729,531 and 814,213 allocated shares at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Shares released or committed to be released for allocation during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled 361,812 and 105,870, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no shares remaining that were not released or committed to be released for allocation.
 
Supplemental Retirement Plan - During 2002, the Company adopted a nonqualified noncontributory Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) for certain of the directors and executive officers of the Company and the Bank. The Company invests in and is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on the life of each participant and is the beneficiary of the policy value. When a participant retires, the accumulated gains on the policy allocated to such participant, if any, will be distributed to the participant in equal installments for 15 years (the “Primary Benefit”). In addition, any annual gains after the retirement date of the participant will be distributed on an annual basis for the lifetime of the participant (the “Secondary Benefit”). The vesting period for the Retirement Plan is the later of five years or an individual specified age.
 
The Retirement Plan also provides the participants with death benefits, which is a percentage of the net death proceeds for the policy, if any, applicable to the participant. The death benefits are not taxable to the Company or the participant’s beneficiary.
 
The Retirement Plan contains provisions that provide for certain accelerated payments upon a change of control of the Company. If a participant ceases to be an employee or director of the Bank prior to his normal retirement date but after a change of control, the Company will be obligated to pay the retirement benefits accrued under the Retirement Plan for the participants calculated as if the participant has reached his or her normal retirement age with the Company. As a result of the pending merger with Pinnacle, the benefits of two executive officers were accelerated resulting in a pre-tax charge of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. This acceleration resulted in the officers’ remaining benefits, excluding death benefits, to be terminated. If the merger with Pinnacle is consummated, the Company expects to record an additional expense of approximately $3.5 million.
 
The Company recognized approximately $1,989,000, $339,000 and $515,000 in compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the Retirement Plan.
 
(11)    Stock Compensation Plans:
Stock Option Plan - On April 22, 1999, the Company’s stockholders approved the Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (SOP). The SOP allows the granting to management and directors the option to purchase common stock of the Company (options) aggregating to 753,825 shares. All employees and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the SOP. Each option has a term of 10 years and the exercise price of each option is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Options vest in equal installments over a five-year period.

(11)     Stock Compensation Plans: (Continued)
If the merger with Pinnacle is consummated, each outstanding Cavalry stock option will be assumed by Pinnacle as of the completion of the merger and will be converted automatically into an option to purchase common stock of Pinnacle. The number of shares of common stock underlying the new option will equal the number of shares of Cavalry common stock for which the corresponding Cavalry option was exercisable, multiplied by 0.95 and rounded down to the nearest whole share. The per share exercise price of each new Pinnacle option will equal the exercise price of the corresponding Cavalry option divided by 0.95 and rounded down to the nearest one cent. All other terms of the Cavalry stock options will remain unchanged after the conversion.
 
During 2004, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested management and director stock options which resulted in a charge of approximately $138,000. This charge represents the value of shares that would have remained unexercised had the plan not been modified. No compensation expense related to the SOP was recognized during 2005.

(12)    Equity:
Liquidation Account
At the time of the conversion from mutual to a stock form of ownership, the Bank established a liquidation account for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases do not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each eligible account holder is entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held before any distribution may be made to the Corporation with respect to the Bank’s capital stock.
 
Dividends
The Corporation’s sources of income and funds for dividends to its stockholders are earnings on its investments and dividends from the Bank. FRB policy provides that a bank holding company should not pay dividends unless (i) the dividends can be fully funded out of net income from the company’s net earnings over the prior year and (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the Corporation’s (and its subsidiaries’) capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Tennessee law provides that a state bank may not declare dividends in any calendar year that exceeds the total of its net income of that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. In no case will the Bank be allowed to make a capital distribution reducing equity below the required balance of the liquidation account. No dividends were paid to the Corporation by the Bank during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2003. The Bank paid dividends to the Corporation totaling $4,022,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. On November 24, 2004, the Company declared a special dividend of $1.50, payable on January 3, 2005, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 17, 2004. Also on November 24, 2004, the Company declared the regular quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.07, payable January 14, 2005, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2004. These two declarations resulted in a dividend payable of approximately $11,332,000 as of December 31, 2004.
 
Federal Reserve Board policies also place restrictions on the Corporation with respect to repurchases of its common stock. With prior notice to the FRB, the Corporation is allowed to repurchase its outstanding shares. Prior to the Corporation’s charter conversion, the Corporation was regulated by the OTS which also placed restrictions of the repurchase of its common stock. During 2001, the Corporation requested and received regulatory approval to acquire 710,480 shares of its outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, 435,219 shares had been repurchased at a cost of approximately $5,997,000. As of December 31, 2003, 303,176 shares had been repurchased at a cost of approximately $3,953,000.
 
(13)     Regulatory Capital Requirements:
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

(13)    Regulatory Capital Requirements: (Continued)
As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s and Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 are presented in the table.

(15)     Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Derivative Instruments:
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to originate loans at December 31, 2005 were $70,888,000, composed of variable rate loans of approximately $62,742,000 and fixed rate loans of approximately $8,146,000. The fixed rate loans had interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 7.25%. Commitments to originate loans at December 31, 2004 were $53,187,000, composed of variable rate loans of approximately $41,549,000 and fixed rate loans of approximately $11,638,000. The fixed rate loans had interest rates ranging from 4.00% to 6.25%. Derivative instruments, consisting of locked-rate mortgage loan commitments to be sold at December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $2,374,000 and $6,096,000, composed of variable rate commitments of $260,000 at December 31, 2004 and fixed rate commitments of $2,374,000 and $5,836,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fixed rate commitments had interest rates ranging from 5.50% and 4.63% to 7.25% and 7.38% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fair value is based on investor commitments.
 
Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are both agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These types of commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include property, plant, and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, and real estate located in the Company’s market area.
 
Commitments to originate locked-rate loans to be sold are mortgage loan commitments which have not closed and for which funds have not been disbursed but have locked into an interest rate. These loans, once originated, are held for sale to a third-party investor.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company 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. The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates; thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $9.9 million at December 31, 2005.

(17)         Commitments and Contingencies:
In the normal course of the Company’s business, there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities that have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Company may also incur liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change of control. In the opinion of management, the financial position of the Company could be materially affected as a result of such contingent liabilities relating to a change of control.
 
The Company had operating lease agreements for two branch offices and certain equipment. The lease agreements for the two branch offices were terminated in 2004. Rental and equipment lease expense under these leases aggregated approximately $318,000, $436,000 and $338,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The aggregate annual minimum equipment rental commitments under the terms of these noncancelable leases at December 31, 2005 are as follows:

The Company has obligations to purchase services for data processing from a third-party that is enforceable and legally binding and all significant terms are specified. The estimated obligation to purchase such services for data processing from a third-party is approximately $803,000 through February 2010. The Company also has an obligation to purchase processing hardware and software in the amount of $1.0 million during 2006.
 
The Company has accrued $50,000 in fees to secure an opinion from Hovde Financial LLC (Hovde) in the event the pending merger with Pinnacle does not close. However, if the merger is approved and closed, the Company is liable to Hovde for $1.6 million in fees for assistance in the closing. This $1.6 million has not been accrued by the Company as of December 31, 2005.

Commitments and Contingencies: (Continued)
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the financial position of the Company will not be affected materially by the outcome of such legal proceedings.
 
The Company’s profitability depends to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Like most financial institutions, the Company’s interest income and interest expense are significantly affected by changes in market interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control. The Company’s interest earning assets consist primarily of loans and investments which adjust more slowly to changes in interest rates than its interest-bearing deposits. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings would be adversely affected during periods of rising interest rates.
 
The Corporation and the Bank have entered into Employment Agreements with four of the Bank’s executive officers, which provide certain benefits in the event of their termination following a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank. The Employment Agreements provide for an initial term of three years. On each anniversary of the commencement date of the Employment Agreements, the term of each agreement may be extended for an additional year at the discretion of the Board. In the event of a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank, as defined in the agreement, each executive officer will be entitled to a package of cash and/or benefits with a maximum value equal to 1.00 to 2.99 times their average annual compensation during the five-year period preceding the change in control. In connection with payments made to certain executives during the fourth quarter of 2005, these executives entered into amended employment agreements that eliminate any future payments to them under their existing supplemental executive retirement agreements and eliminate certain future payments under their non-competition agreements. If the merger with Pinnacle is consummated, the Company expects to record an additional expense of approximately $3.9 million.
 
The Corporation and the Bank have also entered into Severance Agreements with six of the Bank’s senior officers, none of whom are covered by an Employment Agreement. Each agreement has an initial term of two years. On each anniversary of the commencement date of the Severance Agreements, the term of each agreement may be extended for an additional year at the discretion of the Board. In the event of a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank, as defined in the agreement, each senior officer will be entitled to a package of cash and/or benefits with a maximum value equal to 2.99 times their average annual compensation during the five-year period preceding the change in control. In connection with payments made to certain senior officers, these officers have amended their severance agreements to reduce future amounts payable to them upon consummation of the anticipated merger with Pinnacle. Additionally, these senior officers have extended their non-competition periods under the terms of their existing non-competition agreements with the Corporation.

(21)         Business Segments:
The Company’s segments are identified by the products and services offered, principally distinguished as banking, trust, insurance and mortgage banking operations. One unrelated entity purchased approximately 43% and 50% of mortgage loans sold in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
Segment information is derived from the internal reporting system utilized by management with accounting policies and procedures consistent with those described in Note 1. 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.
