Note 1 – Financial Information

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected going forward. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the financial appendix to the 2002 Proxy Statement.

On January 1, 2002, First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee) adopted the final provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” which requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, be accounted for using the purchase method. The impact of adopting this standard was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On January 1, 2002, First Tennessee adopted the preliminary provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to an assessment for impairment using a fair-value-based test at least annually. First Tennessee has completed the initial analysis of impairment as required by the new standard and has not recognized any impairment of the goodwill currently on its books during 2002. See Note 7 – Intangible Assets and Note 8 – Mortgage Servicing Rights for additional information.

On January 1, 2002, First Tennessee adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses accounting and reporting issues related to the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, which for First Tennessee was January 1, 2002. The impact of adopting this standard was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On January 1, 2001, First Tennessee adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF Issue 99-20: Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. It requires that changes in the instrument’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings (or other comprehensive income). If certain criteria are met, changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged are also recognized currently in earnings. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 all derivative instruments were measured at fair value with differences between the previous book value and fair value reported as part of a cumulative effect adjustment, except to the extent that they related to hedges of the variable cash flow exposure of forecasted transactions. To the extent the adoption adjustment related to hedges of the variable cash flow exposure of a forecasted transaction, the remainder of the accounting adjustment, a $1.4 million gain (after-tax) was reported as a cumulative effect adjustment of comprehensive income in first quarter 2001. Offsetting gains and losses on hedged assets and liabilities were recognized as adjustments of their respective book values at the adoption date as part of this cumulative effect adjustment. Additionally, EITF Issue 99-20, which provides impairment and interest income recognition and measurement guidance for interests retained in a securitization transaction accounted for as a sale, was adopted. The initial impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 and EITF Issue 99-20 was an $8.2 million loss (after-tax) net transition adjustment that was recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in first quarter 2001.

Fair value is determined on the last business day of a reporting period. This point in time measurement of derivative fair values and the related hedged item fair values may be well suited to the measurement of hedge effectiveness, as well as reported earnings, when hedge time horizons are short. The same measurement however may not consistently reflect the effectiveness of longer-term hedges and, in First Tennessee’s view, can distort short-term measures of reported earnings. First Tennessee uses a combination of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain components of the interest rate risk associated with its portfolio of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which currently have an average life of three to four years. Over this long-term time horizon this combination of derivatives can be effective in significantly mitigating the effects of interest rate changes on the value of the servicing portfolio. However, these derivative financial instruments can and do demonstrate significant price volatility depending upon prevailing conditions in the financial markets. If a reporting period ends during a period of

8


Table of Contents

Note 1 – Financial Information (continued)

volatile financial market conditions, the effect of such point in time conditions on reported earnings does not reflect the underlying economics of the transactions or the true value of the hedges to First Tennessee over their estimated lives. The fact that the fair value of a particular derivative is unusually low or high on the last day of the reporting period is meaningful in evaluating performance during the period only if First Tennessee sells the derivative within the period of time before fair value changes and does not replace the hedge coverage with another derivative. First Tennessee believes the effect of such volatility on short-term measures of earnings is not indicative of the expected long-term performance of this hedging practice.

For its internal evaluation of performance for an applicable period, First Tennessee reclassified select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness from the reported net income of the First Horizon segment to the Corporate segment (see Note 5). The internal evaluation of First Horizon’s long-term performance will include the long-term trend, if any, in these select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness.

Certain provisions of SFAS No. 133 continue to undergo significant discussion and debate by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). One such potential issue involves the assessment of hedge effectiveness (and its impact on qualifying for hedge accounting) when hedging fair value changes of prepayable assets due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. As the FASB continues to deliberate interpretation of the new rules, the potential exists for a difference between First Tennessee’s interpretation and that of the FASB, the effects of which cannot presently be anticipated, but failure to obtain hedge accounting treatment could be significant to results of operations.

In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions (an amendment of FASB Statement No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9). This statement requires acquisitions of all or part of a financial institution meeting the definition of a business combination to be accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Any previously recorded unidentified intangible asset related to the acquisition of a financial institution must now be classified as goodwill and is subject to the impairment testing provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment testing of previously identified long-term customer-relationship intangible assets will be subject to the impairment testing provisions of SFAS No 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Provisions of this statement are effective for acquisitions incurred on or after October 1, 2002. Provisions related to the accounting for impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets and transition provisions for previously recognized unidentified intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires that a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. Prior to the effective date of this statement, costs associated with an exit or disposal plan were recognized at the date of commitment, as required under EITF Issued 94-3. This statement does not apply to costs associated with an exit activity that involves an entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144. This statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect, if material in the aggregate. Due to the rescission of SFAS No. 4, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4, and is no longer necessary because of the rescission of SFAS No. 4. SFAS No. 44, which established accounting requirements for the effects of transition provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, is no longer necessary because the transition has been completed. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. In addition this Statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements which are generally not substantive in nature. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 that relate to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an

extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item will be reclassified. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 that relate to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

Note 2 – Divestitures/Acquisitions

On September 16, 2002, First Tennessee Bank National Association (FTBNA), the primary banking subsidiary of First Tennessee, sold a portfolio of loans originated through First Horizon Money Centers totaling $208.3 million to American General Finance, Inc. of Evansville, Indiana and closed the related Money Center offices. This transaction resulted in a divestiture gain of $2.3 million.

On June 1, 2002, First Horizon Home Loan Corporation (FHHLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Tennessee, acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Real Estate Financial Services (REFS), a mortgage lending company based in Alpharetta, Georgia, for approximately $2.2 million in cash. This transaction was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On April 1, 2002, First Tennessee acquired First Premier Financial Services, Inc. (First Premier), a South Dakota based merchant processor, for approximately $11.9 million in cash. First Premier was merged into First Horizon Merchant Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of First Tennessee. The acquisition was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On December 31, 2001, FTBNA acquired Synaxis Group, Inc., a Nashville-based insurance broker operating through a network of major regional and community-based insurance agencies in Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee. This transaction was completed for approximately $29.0 million and was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On June 6, 2001, FTBNA, along with its partner, International Business Machines, completed the sale of its interests in Check Solutions Company to Carreker Corporation of Dallas, Texas. First Tennessee recognized a divestiture gain of $42.7 million.

On April 27, 2001, First Tennessee completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples and Union Bank, of Lewisburg, Tennessee, to First Farmers & Merchants National Bank, of Columbia, Tennessee. First Tennessee recognized a divestiture gain of $13.1 million.

On April 2, 2001, FTBNA sold its existing portfolio of education loans totaling $342.1 million to Educational Funding of the South, Inc. The transaction resulted in a divestiture gain of $11.8 million.

On January 17, 2001, FTBNA completed the sale of $31.4 million of its affinity, co-branded, and certain single relationship credit card accounts and assets to MBNA Corporation. On December 27, 2000, FTBNA sold $265.8 million of its single relationship credit card accounts and assets to MBNA Corporation. These transactions resulted in divestiture gains of $8.2 million in 2001 and $50.2 million in 2000.

On January 2, 2001, First Tennessee Securities Corporation (FTSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of FTBNA, acquired certain assets of Midwest Research-Maxus Group Limited, a Cleveland-based institutional equity research firm. This transaction was completed for approximately $13.7 million and was immaterial to First Tennessee.

On October 18, 2000, FTBNA sold its corporate and municipal trust business to The Chase Manhattan Bank for $35.1 million, which resulted in a divestiture gain of $33.4 million. An additional divestiture gain of $4.6 million due to an earn-out was recognized in first quarter 2001.

  $ 48,214     $ 45,296  
Other nonaccrual loans
    23,766       24,188  

Total nonperforming loans
  $ 71,980     $ 69,484  

Nonperforming loans consist of impaired loans, other nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans. An impaired loan is a loan that management believes the contractual amount due probably will not be collected. Impaired loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to recover the principal balance and accrued interest.

Generally, interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal. Once all principal has been received, additional payments are recognized as interest income on a cash basis. The following table presents information concerning impaired loans:

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended

Note 5 — Business Segment Information

First Tennessee provides traditional retail/commercial banking and other financial services to its customers through various regional and national business lines. Effective January 1, 2002, the business segment information has been adapted to better reflect First Tennessee’s strategic alignment and positioning and to conform to similar changes in internal segment reporting. Prior periods have been restated for comparability. The new segments are FTN Banking Group, First Horizon, FTN Financial, Transaction Processing, Corporate, and Strategic Initiative Items. FTN Banking Group includes the Retail/Commercial Bank, Investments, Insurance, Financial Planning, Trust, Credit Card and Cash Management. This segment offers traditional banking financial services and products and also promotes comprehensive financial planning to address customer needs and desires for investments, insurance, estate planning, education funding, cash reserves and retirement planning. First Horizon includes First Horizon Home Loans, First Horizon Equity Lending and First Horizon Money Centers (the last two were previously included in the Retail/Commercial Bank). These business lines were combined to create a common focus and a stronger presence in the national market. During third quarter 2002, First Tennessee sold the loan portfolio and closed the offices of First Horizon Money Centers as part of an ongoing plan to improve long term growth by enhancing overall business mix. FTN Financial added Strategic Alliances and Correspondent Services to the existing business mix that included Capital Markets, Equity Research and Investment Banking. Strategic Alliances is a customer relationship service group recently formed to enhance our portfolio of innovative investment services. Correspondent Services was a part of the Retail/Commercial Bank previously. Transaction Processing continues to offer credit card merchant processing, nationwide bill payment processing, check clearing operations and other products and services. The corporate segment includes certain corporate expenses, interest expense on trust preferred and REIT preferred stock, select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness, and other items not allocated or not specifically assigned to business segments. The Strategic Initiative Items segment isolates items occurring in 2001 that were related to a strategic initiative to enhance growth and business mix.

Total revenue, expense and asset levels reflect those which are specifically identifiable or which are allocated based on an internal allocation method. Because the allocations are based on internally developed assignments and allocations, they are to an extent subjective. This assignment and allocation has been consistently applied for all periods presented. The following table reflects the amounts of consolidated revenue, expense, tax, and assets for the three month and year to date periods ending September 30, 2002 and 2001, and has been adjusted for comparability.

Note 6 — Contingencies

Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of business, including those related to litigation. Various claims and lawsuits, in addition to those listed below, are pending against First Tennessee and its subsidiaries. Although First Tennessee cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, after consulting with counsel, it is management’s opinion that when resolved, these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of First Tennessee.

Three cases alleging that First Tennessee engaged in unfair and deceptive practices in connection with the financing of satellite dish television systems are pending in Mississippi courts. First Tennessee has reached an agreement to settle one of these cases, filed by fifty plaintiffs and pending in federal court. The remaining two cases, each filed by one plaintiff, are pending in Choctaw Tribal Court.

Many mortgage lenders, including a First Tennessee subsidiary, have been sued in putative class actions on the theory that yield spread premiums paid to mortgage brokers are referral fees banned by the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (“RESPA”). Under that act, liability for an impermissible referral fee is three times the amount of the fee. In June 2001, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld certification of a class in a yield spread premium case against a lender unaffiliated with First Tennessee. In October 2001, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) published a policy statement disagreeing with the Eleventh Circuit’s decision. In light of HUD’s 2001 policy statement, in a case involving a lender unaffiliated with First Tennessee, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled in March 2002 that lawsuits challenging the payment of yield spread premiums under RESPA are not appropriate for class action treatment. Plaintiffs appealed that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the yield spread premium paid by another lender was not an impermissible “referral fee” and that certification of a plaintiff class was inappropriate. In September 2002, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals applied HUD’s 2001 policy statement, and in issuing an opinion in a yield spread premium case pending against another lender, reversed class certification in that case and overruled its prior opinion which had upheld class certification in a similar case. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in the Eighth Circuit case described earlier in this paragraph. First Tennessee believes its subsidiary’s yield spread premium payments, which are consistent with industry practices, are lawful, and intends to defend vigorously the lawsuits against it.

  $ 398,968

The MSR on September 30, 2002 and 2001, had estimated market values of approximately $423.8 million and $555.0 million, respectively. These balances represent the rights to service approximately $52.1 billion and $44.2 billion of mortgage loans on September 30, 2002 and 2001. On September 30, 2002 and 2001, valuation allowances due to impairment of $34.4 million and $22.7 million were required, respectively.

Estimated MSR amortization expense for the twelve month periods ending September 30, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, are $80.4 million, $58.5 million, $48.4 million, $39.5 million and $31.9 million, respectively. The assumptions underlying these estimates are subject to modification based on changes in market conditions and portfolio behavior (such as prepayment speeds). As a result, these estimates are subject to change in a manner and amount that is not presently determinable by management.

The MSR above represents the contractual fee to be received to service the mortgage loans. First Tennessee also has retained interest only strips (included in Trading Securities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition), which represents the excess over contractual fees to be received to service the mortgage loans. The carrying value (also equal to fair value) of this asset was $93.5 million on September 30, 2002, and was $104.5 million on September 30, 2001.

First Tennessee also has derivatives (included in Capital Markets Receivables and Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Condition) designated as hedges of MSR and retained interest only strips. The carrying value (also equal to fair value) of this asset was $360.4 million on September 30, 2002, and was $217.5 million on September 30, 2001.

Item 2. First Tennessee National Corporation – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL INFORMATION

First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee) is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, and is a nationwide, diversified financial services institution which provides banking and other financial services to its customers through various regional and national business lines. Effective January 1, 2002, the business segment information has been adapted to better reflect First Tennessee’s strategic alignment and positioning and to conform to similar changes in internal segment reporting. Prior periods have been restated for comparability. The new segments are FTN Banking Group, First Horizon, FTN Financial, Transaction Processing, Corporate and Strategic Initiative Items. FTN Banking Group includes the Retail/Commercial Bank, Investments, Insurance, Financial Planning, Trust Services and Asset Management, Credit Card and Cash Management. This segment offers traditional banking financial services and products and also promotes comprehensive financial planning to address customer needs and desires for investments, insurance, estate planning, education funding, cash reserves and retirement goals. First Horizon includes First Horizon Home Loans (previously referred to as mortgage banking), First Horizon Equity Lending and First Horizon Money Centers (both of which were previously included in the Retail/Commercial Bank). These business lines were combined to create a common focus and a stronger presence in the national market. During third quarter 2002, First Tennessee sold the loan portfolio and closed the offices of First Horizon Money Centers as part of an ongoing plan to improve long-term growth by enhancing overall business mix. This operation has historically had only a nominal effect on earnings. See also Business Line Review and Note 2 – Divestitures/Acquisitions for additional detail. Also as part of the segment realignment, FTN Financial added Strategic Alliances and Correspondent Services to the existing business mix that included Capital Markets, Equity Research and Investment Banking. Strategic Alliances is a customer relationship service group recently formed to enhance a portfolio of innovative investment services. Correspondent Services was previously a part of the Retail/Commercial Bank. Transaction Processing continues to offer credit card merchant processing, nationwide bill payment processing, check clearing operations and other products and services. The Corporate segment includes certain corporate expenses, interest expense on trust preferred and REIT preferred stock, select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness (see Other – Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities), and other items not allocated or not specifically assigned to business segments. The Strategic Initiative Items segment isolates items occurring in 2001 that were related to a strategic initiative to enhance growth and business mix, as announced by First Tennessee in 2000 (see Business Line Review for additional detail).

Based on management’s best estimates, certain revenues and expenses are allocated and equity is assigned to the various segments to reflect the inherent risk in each business line. These allocations are periodically reviewed and may be revised from time to time to more accurately reflect current business conditions and risks; the previously reported amounts have been adjusted to ensure comparability.

For the purpose of this management discussion and analysis (MD&A), noninterest income (also called fee income) and total revenue exclude securities gains and losses. Net interest income has been adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for certain tax-exempt loans and investments included in earning assets. Earning assets, including loans, have been expressed as averages, net of unearned income. First Tennessee Bank National Association, the primary bank subsidiary, is also referred to as FTBNA in this discussion.

The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of First Tennessee for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. To assist the reader in obtaining a better understanding of First Tennessee and its performance, this discussion should be read in conjunction with First Tennessee’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report. Additional information including the 2001 financial statements, notes, and management’s discussion and analysis is provided in the 2001 Annual Financial Disclosures included as an appendix to the 2002 Proxy Statement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management’s discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements with respect to First Tennessee’s beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not based on historical information but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “should”, “is likely”, “will”, “going forward”, and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond a company’s control, and many of which, with respect to future business decisions and actions (such as acquisitions and divestitures), are subject to change. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors, general and local economic and business conditions; expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements (which can have a significant impact on a financial services institution); market and monetary fluctuations; inflation; competition within and outside the financial services industry; possible terrorist activity; technology; and new products and services in the industries in which First Tennessee operates. Other factors are those inherent in originating and servicing loans, including prepayment risks and fluctuation of collateral values and changes in customer profiles. Additionally, the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and other regulators; unanticipated regulatory and judicial proceedings and changes in laws and regulations applicable to First Tennessee; and First Tennessee’s success in executing its business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ. First Tennessee assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements of First Tennessee are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. This preparation requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Management believes the following policies are both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results and require subjective or complex judgments. Additional information is provided in the 2001 Annual Financial Disclosures.

Subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments is management’s evaluation process used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which combines several factors: historical loss experience derived from an analytical model, specific analysis of commercial credits over $1 million, and current events, trends and economic conditions. Because current economic conditions can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan losses, and therefore the adequacy of the allowance, could change. First Tennessee believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate and properly recorded in the financial statements. See Provision for Loan Losses/Asset Quality.

The fair value of First Tennessee’s investment in mortgage servicing rights (MSR) is important to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements in that MSR are subject to a fair value based impairment standard and are actively hedged in fair value hedging relationships. MSR do not trade in an active open market with readily observable prices. Rather, sales of MSR tend to occur in principal-to-principal transactions, and although precise terms and conditions of sale are typically not readily available, information regarding the value of transactions is generally obtainable. As such, like other participants in the mortgage banking business, First Tennessee relies on an internal discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its MSR. First Tennessee uses assumptions in the model that it believes are appropriate and comparable to those used by other participants in the mortgage banking business and reviews its values and assumptions with outside advisors on a quarterly basis. While First Tennessee believes that the values produced by its internal model are indicative of the fair value of its MSR

Table of Contents

portfolio, these values can change significantly depending upon the then current interest rate environment and other economic conditions, and the proceeds that might be received should First Tennessee actually consider a sale of the MSR portfolio could differ from the amounts reported at any point in time. First Tennessee believes MSR are properly recorded in the financial statements.

In various segments of its business, particularly in First Horizon, First Tennessee uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates and market prices for financial instruments. Substantially all of these derivative financial instruments are designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes. The application of the hedge accounting policy requires judgment in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, identification of similar hedged item groupings and measurement of changes in the fair value of hedged items. First Tennessee believes that its techniques for addressing these judgmental areas are in line with industry practices in assessing hedge effectiveness. However, if in the future the derivative financial instruments used by First Tennessee no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment and, consequently, the change in fair value of hedged items could not be recognized in earnings, the impact on the consolidated results of operations and reported earnings could be significant. First Tennessee believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements.

Most of the derivative financial instruments used by First Tennessee have active markets, and indications of fair value can be readily obtained. Under the existing accounting rules, the commitments to extend mortgage loans at fixed interest rates entered into between First Horizon Home Loans and its customers qualify as derivative financial instruments. In the absence of a ready and observable market for loan commitments, First Tennessee uses an internal model and one of several industry valuation techniques to value its fixed-rate loan commitments. While First Tennessee believes the value produced by its internal model is reasonable, the proceeds that might be received should First Tennessee actually consider a sale of the loan commitments could differ from the amounts reported at any point in time. First Tennessee believes loan commitments are properly recorded in the financial statements.

First Tennessee’s activities as a servicer of mortgage loans subjects it to the risk of loss from foreclosure and other servicing-related activities. The estimation of an adequate foreclosure loss reserve involves the same judgments regarding the predictive power of past foreclosure results and the impact of current trends and operating conditions. While First Tennessee believes that the current analytical model and related assumptions used to determine the foreclosure loss reserve are proper and in line with industry practice and reflective of current trends and conditions, actual foreclosure losses could differ from the estimated amount as properties and collateral are actually disposed. First Tennessee believes the foreclosure loss reserve is adequate and properly recorded in the financial statements.

The assessment of contingent liabilities, including legal contingencies and tax liabilities, involves the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments, and there can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or I.R.S. positions, will not differ from management’s current assessment. First Tennessee believes reserves for contingent liabilities are adequate and properly recorded in the financial statements.

Under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which became effective on January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to an impairment test. First Tennessee has not recognized any impairment of the goodwill currently on its books during 2002; however, subsequent developments or information could result in impairment.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Comparison of third quarter 2002 to third quarter 2001)

Earnings for third quarter 2002 were $95.6 million, an increase of 7 percent from last year’s third quarter earnings of $89.0 million. Diluted earnings per common share were $.73 in 2002 compared to $.68 in 2001. Return on average shareholders’ equity was 23.8 percent and return on average assets was 1.84 percent for third quarter 2002. Return on average shareholders’ equity was 25.4 percent and return on average assets was 1.87 percent for the same period in 2001.

Table of Contents

On September 30, 2002, First Tennessee was ranked as one of the top 50 bank holding companies nationally in market capitalization ($4.4 billion) and total assets ($22.7 billion). On September 30, 2001, market capitalization was $4.7 billion and total assets were $19.7 billion.

Total revenue grew 22 percent from third quarter 2001, with a 30 percent increase in fee income (noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses) and a 9 percent increase in net interest income.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Fee income provides the majority of First Tennessee’s revenue and contributed 67 percent to total revenue in third quarter 2002 compared to 64 percent for the same period in 2001. Third quarter 2002 fee income increased 30 percent to $392.1 million from $302.3 million in 2001. The December 31, 2001, acquisition of Synaxis Group, Inc. (Synaxis), a commercial insurance broker, impacted the results of third quarter 2002, adding $9.8 million to noninterest income. Excluding the impact of Synaxis in 2002 total fee income would have increased 26 percent. A more detailed discussion of the major line items follows.

Mortgage Banking

First Horizon Home Loans, a subsidiary of FTBNA and the major component of the First Horizon business segment, originates and services residential mortgage loans. Following origination, the mortgage loans, primarily first-lien, are sold to investors in the secondary market. Various hedging strategies are used to mitigate changes in the market value of the loan during the time period beginning with a price commitment to the customer and ending when the loan is delivered to the investor. Closed loans held during this time period are referred to as the mortgage warehouse. Origination fees and gains or losses from the sale of loans are recognized at the time a mortgage loan is sold into the secondary market. A portion of the gain or loss is recognized at the time an interest rate lock commitment is made to the customer. Secondary marketing activities include gains or losses from mortgage pipeline and warehouse hedging activities, product pricing decisions, and gains or losses from the sale of loans into the secondary market including the capitalized net present value of the MSR. Servicing rights permit the collection of fees for gathering and processing monthly mortgage payments for the owner of the mortgage loans. There were no bulk or flow sales of MSR in third quarter 2002. First Horizon Home Loans employs hedging strategies intended to counter a change in the value of its MSR through changing interest rate environments. Other income includes income from the foreclosure repurchase program and other miscellaneous items. Mortgage trading securities gains/(losses) relate to market value adjustments primarily on interest-only strips and related hedges. Mortgage banking fee income is reported net of amortization, impairment and other expenses related to MSR and related hedges.

Origination activity increased 71 percent to $9.2 billion and loan sales into the secondary market increased 43 percent to $7.5 billion in third quarter 2002 compared to last year. Driven by low mortgage interest rates, refinance activity represented 66 percent of total originations during the quarter compared to 51 percent in third quarter 2001. Loan origination fees increased 31 percent to $61.6 million compared to third quarter 2001, reflecting the increased origination activity and increased loan sales into the secondary market. Secondary marketing activities increased to $104.1 million from the $82.1 million recorded in the comparable quarter last year. The increase was primarily the result of a $30.6 million increase in net secondary trading gains primarily due to the favorable interest rate environment experienced during the quarter. The favorable experience in net secondary trading gains was partially offset by an $8.6 million reduction in MSR revenues recognized on loans delivered during the quarter. The reduction in MSR revenues reflects a 38 percent decrease in the capitalized net present value of MSR’s created during the quarter as a result of increased prepayment assumptions used to value the retained servicing rights.

MSR amortization was $28.2 million for third quarter 2002 compared with $29.5 million in 2001, and for third quarter 2002 there was a MSR impairment loss of $42.5 million compared to a $44.6 million loss in third quarter 2001. Net MSR hedging gains (MSR net hedge results less time decay of MSR hedges) were $18.7 million (increase in the value of hedges offset by decrease in value of hedged MSR) in third quarter 2002 compared to $13.2 million net gains (increase in the value of hedged MSR offset by decrease in value of hedges) in 2001.

The mortgage-servicing portfolio (which includes servicing for ourselves and others) totaled $52.1 billion on September 30, 2002, compared to $44.2 billion on September 30, 2001. Mortgage servicing fee income increased 5 percent to $42.3 million in 2002 primarily due to the 18 percent increase in the mortgage-servicing portfolio. Servicing fees were negatively impacted in third quarter 2002 by a lower level of GNMA mortgages, which earn higher servicing fees.

Going forward, fee income from refinance loan originations will depend on mortgage interest rates. An increase in rates should reduce origination fees and profit from the sale of loans, but should also reduce MSR amortization

expense and impairment losses, while a decrease in rates should increase this net revenue. Flat to rising interest rates should reduce net secondary marketing trading gains, while falling rates should increase this net revenue. If total origination volume increases and/or the yield curve steepens, net interest income from the warehouse should increase, while if volume decreases and/or the yield curve flattens, this revenue should decrease. Home purchase-related originations should reflect the relative strength or weakness of the economy. The continuing success of national cross-sell strategies should increase revenues from products other than traditional mortgage origination and servicing. Actual results could differ because of several factors, including those presented in the Forward-Looking Statements section of the MD&A discussion.

Capital Markets

Capital markets fee income, the major component of revenue in the FTN Financial segment, is primarily generated from the purchase and sale of securities as both principal and agent and from investment banking, portfolio advisory and equity research services. Inventory positions are limited to the procurement of securities solely for distribution to customers by the sales staff. Inventory is effectively hedged to protect against movements in interest rates. For third quarter 2002, capital markets fee income increased 37 percent to $124.1 million from $90.3 million in 2001. This increase reflects continued growth and penetration into the targeted institutional customer base through expanded products, services, sales force and marketing efforts. This growth has been influenced by the increased liquidity our customers have experienced as deposit growth has exceeded loan growth. Revenue has also been favorably impacted by changes in the interest rate environment and the equity markets. Total securities bought and sold increased 27 percent to $436.1 billion from $342.8 billion in 2001. Total underwritings during third quarter 2002 were $25.9 billion compared to $15.1 billion for the same period in 2001.

Going forward, revenues will fluctuate based on factors which include the expansion of the customer base, the volume of investment banking transactions and the introduction of new products, as well as the strength of loan growth in the U.S. economy and volatility in the interest rate environment and the equity markets. Actual results could differ because of several factors, including those presented in the Forward-Looking Statements section of the MD&A discussion.

Other Fee Income

In third quarter 2002, the First Horizon Money Centers’ loan portfolio sale resulted in a divestiture gain of $2.3 million. Expenses associated with the loan portfolio sale and the closing of the related Money Center offices are included in noninterest expense (see also Provision for Loan Losses/Asset Quality below for impact of the divestiture on the overall loan portfolio risk profile and on the provision). There were no divestiture gains or losses in third quarter 2001.

Fee income from deposit transactions and cash management for third quarter 2002 increased 4 percent to $36.8 million from $35.3 million in 2001 primarily due to growth in cash management fees. Trust services and investment management fees decreased 22 percent to $10.8 million from $13.8 million in 2001 primarily due to declining asset management fees related to a contraction in equity market valuations. Assets under management fell 17 percent to $6.9 billion on September 30, 2002 from $8.3 billion on September 30, 2001. Merchant processing fee income increased 10 percent to $13.0 million in third quarter 2002 from $11.8 million, due to a portfolio acquisition in second quarter 2002. Insurance premiums and commissions increased 248 percent to $10.8 million from $3.1 million in third quarter 2001 primarily due to the acquisition of Synaxis. All other income and commissions increased 9 percent to $35.5 million for third quarter 2002 from $32.5 million in 2001.

Going forward, when the equity market begins to recover, fee income, such as asset management and trust fees, should rebound.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased 9 percent to $189.0 million from $173.5 million in third quarter 2001. Earning asset growth of 10 percent generated this increase and was primarily related to rising levels of mortgage originations pushing the mortgage warehouse higher and the increase in home equity lines of credit within the Tennessee

market and across the First Horizon franchise. The consolidated margin was 4.34 percent for third quarter 2002 compared to 4.39 percent for the same period in 2001. As shown in Table 2, the activity levels and related funding for First Tennessee’s mortgage production and servicing and capital markets activities affect the margin. These activities typically produce different margins than traditional banking activities. Mortgage production and servicing activities can affect the overall margin based on a number of factors, including the size of the mortgage warehouse, the time it takes to deliver loans into the secondary market, the amount of custodial balances, and the level of MSR. Capital markets activities tend to compress the margin because of its strategy to reduce market risk by hedging its inventory in the cash markets, which effectively eliminates net interest income on these positions. As a result, First Tennessee’s consolidated margin cannot be readily compared to that of other bank holding companies.

Going forward, if as expected over the near term, interest rates remain at current low levels, the net interest margin is likely to compress further. The consolidated margin will continue to be influenced by the activity levels of mortgage production and servicing and capital markets. Over the long term the margin could be unfavorably impacted if the yield curve flattens significantly. Actual results could differ because of several factors, including those presented in the Forward-Looking Statements section of the MD&A discussion.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for third quarter 2002 increased 31 percent to $421.1 million from $321.1 million in 2001. The acquisition of Synaxis impacted the results of third quarter 2002, adding $8.8 million to noninterest expense. Excluding the impact of Synaxis in 2002, total noninterest expense would have increased 28 percent. Expenses in First Horizon and FTN Financial fluctuate based on the type and level of activity. Excluding First Horizon and FTN Financial in both periods and Synaxis in 2002, total operating expense increased 18 percent. Also impacting noninterest expense growth was a $13.0 million contribution to First Tennessee Foundation, a contributor to charitable causes. Excluding this expense in addition to the items previously mentioned, total operating expense

Table of Contents

increased 8 percent. Going forward, FTN Financial and First Horizon will continue to influence the level of noninterest expense.

Employee compensation, incentives and benefits (personnel expense), the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 29 percent to $258.0 million from $199.9 million in third quarter 2001. This increase is primarily due to higher activity levels for both FTN Financial and First Horizon and the Synaxis acquisition. Excluding the two business lines in both periods and Synaxis in 2002, total personnel expense increased 7 percent.

Equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance expense increased 20 percent in 2002 to $18.5 million from $15.4 million in 2001 due primarily to losses on disposals of fixed assets, including those related to the Money Centers office closings. Operations services increased 16 percent to $15.4 million from $13.3 million in 2001 due to expanded usage related to customer service enhancements. Occupancy expense increased 11 percent to $19.9 million compared to $17.9 million in 2001 primarily due to costs associated with closing the Money Centers and expenses incurred in 2002 by Synaxis. Communications and courier expense increased 8 percent to $13.4 million in 2002 from $12.3 million in 2001 primarily due to the increased activity levels of FTN Financial. Amortization of intangible assets decreased 37 percent to $1.6 million from $2.6 million in 2001 due to the implementation of new accounting standards (see Note 1 for additional detail). All other expense increased 58 percent to $94.3 million in 2002 from $59.7 million. This increase includes the $13.0 million contribution to First Tennessee Foundation and increased costs for First Horizon related to the record origination volume in third quarter 2002. Additional information related to expenses by business line is provided in Table 3 (see also Business Line Review for additional information).

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The effective tax rate for the third quarter 2002 was 31 percent compared to 32 percent for the third quarter of 2001. This year’s third quarter expense reflected a $3.7 million decrease (there will be a similar decrease in the fourth quarter) resulting from a change in the tax status of a subsidiary of First Tennessee Bank National Association. This change will not affect next year’s tax expense.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES / ASSET QUALITY

The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level reflecting management’s estimate of the risk of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. An analytical model based on historical loss experience, specific analysis of commercial credits over $1 million, current events, trends and economic conditions is used by management to determine the amount of provision to be recognized and to assess the adequacy of the loan loss allowance. The provision for loan losses decreased 10 percent to $20.5 million in 2002 compared to $22.8 million in 2001. This decline resulted from a $7.4 million reduction in provision due to the change in the risk profile of the loan portfolio after the sale of most of First Horizon Money Centers’ loan portfolio. Excluding the impact of this reduction, provision would have increased $5.1 million from third quarter last year, primarily due to higher loss experience,

resulting from the impact of changes in economic conditions on our customer base and increased volume of repurchased loans. Additional asset quality information is provided in Table 4 – Asset Quality Information and Table 5 – Net Charge-off Ratios.

Net charge-offs increased to $23.8 million or .89 percent of total loans for third quarter 2002 compared to $20.3 million or .81 percent of total loans for third quarter 2001. The net charge-off ratio for lending activities, which excludes mortgage production activities, decreased to .77 percent of loans from ..80 percent of loans for third quarter 2001. Net charge-offs have been impacted by the effect of First Horizon’s increased volume of

25


Table of Contents

repurchased loans in third quarter 2002 and by the effect that changes in economic conditions have had on the customer base. In addition, commercial net charge-offs were impacted by the deterioration of three commercial credits. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned income (coverage ratio), was 1.36 percent on September 30, 2002, compared to 1.51 percent on September 30, 2001, due in part to the change in risk profile from the sale of First Horizon Money Centers’ loans.

Nonperforming loans were $72.0 million on September 30, 2002, and the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to .66 percent. This compares to nonperforming loans of $69.5 million on September 30, 2001, and a nonperforming loan ratio of .69 percent. Nonperforming assets totaled $91.9 million on September 30, 2002, compared with $88.4 million on September 30, 2001. While relatively stable compared to last year, nonperforming assets increased by $10.8 million from second quarter 2002. This increase is primarily due to additional deterioration of four commercial credits. Three of the four credits were assigned specific reserves at June 30, 2002, but after further deterioration, additional provision was recorded in third quarter 2002. On September 30, 2002, First Tennessee had no concentrations of 10 percent or more of total loans in any single industry.

Going forward the level of provision for loan losses should fluctuate primarily with the strength or weakness of the economy. In addition, asset quality ratios could be affected by balance sheet strategies and shifts in loan mix to and from products with different risk/reward profiles. Actual results could differ because of several factors, including those presented in the Forward-Looking Statements section of the MD&A discussion.

BUSINESS LINE REVIEW

There were several revenue and expense items in 2001 that make it difficult to compare this year’s results with last year’s results. The items were related to an initiative announced in 2000 to enhance growth and business mix (Strategic Initiative Items). The initiative, completed in fourth quarter 2001, resulted in net pre-tax revenue in excess of expenses of $33.7 million for the year 2001. However, there was no impact in third quarter 2001. In the discussions of business segment performance in the Financial Summary (comparison of first nine months of 2002 to first nine months of 2001) and in other quarters of 2002, these 2001 Strategic Initiative Items are excluded, but are disclosed separately as a segment.

FTN Banking Group

Pre-tax income for FTN Banking Group decreased 22 percent to $54.6 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $70.0 million for third quarter 2001. Total revenues for the segment were $185.6 million, an increase of 1 percent from $183.8 million in third quarter 2001. Total noninterest expense increased 15 percent in third quarter 2002 to $115.6 million from $100.9 million last year.

Table of Contents

The acquisition of Synaxis Group, Inc. (Synaxis), a commercial insurance broker, on December 31, 2001, impacted the results of this quarter. The following discussion of FTN Banking Group’s performance is adjusted to exclude this acquisition.

Total revenues decreased 4 percent to $176.8 million for third quarter 2002. Net interest income decreased 4 percent to $112.7 million in 2002, primarily due to a change in the mix of the loan portfolio to floating rate products and due to the repricing of term assets in this low interest rate environment. As a result, the net interest margin from traditional banking activities has declined approximately 30 basis points since third quarter 2001. Fee income (noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses) decreased 4 percent to $64.2 million in 2002, reflecting declining trust and investment management fees resulting from a contraction in equity market valuations.

The provision for loan losses increased to $15.4 million in third quarter 2002 from $12.9 million last year primarily due to the continued impact on our customer base of an ongoing economic period of slow growth. Compared to the three-month period ending June 30, 2002, the provision increased $1.7 million from $13.7 million. Going forward the level of provision for loan losses should fluctuate primarily with the strength or weakness of the Tennessee economy.

Total noninterest expense was $106.8 million in third quarter 2002 compared to $100.9 million in 2001. Contributing to this increase was a higher level of marketing expense in third quarter 2002.

Going forward, as term assets continue to reprice to lower rates, net interest margin should decline further in the near-term. Over the long term First Tennessee’s relatively neutral balance sheet position should allow the net interest margin to stabilize after the effect of this repricing has occurred. When the equity market begins to recover, fee income, such as asset management and trust fees, should rebound.

First Horizon

Pre-tax income for First Horizon increased 144 percent to $58.6 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $24.0 million for third quarter 2001. Due to the sale near the end of the quarter of a portfolio of loans originated through First Horizon Money Centers and to the closing of the related Money Center offices, First Horizon’s pre-tax income was increased by $7.0 million. This net increase is the result of a $.4 million net loss generated from the loan sale and office closings, and a $7.4 million reduction of loan loss provision due to the change in the risk profile of the loan portfolio after the sale of the Money Center loans. The loan portfolio sale and the closing of offices will have a nominal impact on the earnings of First Horizon in future quarters.

Total revenues were $228.3 million, an increase of 43 percent from $159.7 million in 2001. Net interest income increased 42 percent to $62.0 million in 2002, reflecting the benefits of lower funding costs and a larger portfolio of loans held for sale (warehouse). Net interest spread on the warehouse, which was positively impacted by the lower funding costs and the relative steepness of the yield curve, increased to 4.11 percent in 2002 from 3.28 percent in 2001. Total fee income increased 43 percent to $166.3 million in 2002. Fee income consists primarily of mortgage banking-related fees from the origination process, fees from mortgage servicing and mortgage servicing rights (MSR) net hedge gains or losses. Total fee income is net of amortization, impairment and other expenses related to MSR and related hedges.

Origination activity increased 71 percent to $9.2 billion and loan sales into the secondary market increased 43 percent to $7.5 billion in third quarter 2002 compared to last year. Driven by low mortgage interest rates, refinance activity represented 66 percent of total originations during the quarter compared to 51 percent in third quarter 2001. Loan origination fees increased 31 percent to $61.6 million compared to third quarter 2001, reflecting the increased origination activity and increased loan sales into the secondary market. Secondary marketing activities increased to $104.1 million from the $82.1 million recorded in the comparable quarter last year. The increase was primarily the result of a $30.6 million increase in net secondary trading gains primarily due to the favorable interest rate environment experienced during the quarter. The favorable experience in net secondary trading gains was partially offset by an $8.6 million reduction in MSR revenues recognized on loans delivered during the quarter. The reduction in MSR revenues reflects a 38 percent decrease in the capitalized net present value of MSR’s created during the quarter as a result of increased prepayment assumptions used to value the retained servicing rights.

Table of Contents

Fees associated with mortgage servicing increased 5 percent to $42.3 million in 2002, primarily due to an 18 percent increase in the servicing portfolio. On September 30, 2002, the mortgage-servicing portfolio totaled $52.1 billion, compared to $44.2 billion on September 30, 2001. Servicing fees were negatively impacted in third quarter 2002 by a lower level of GNMA mortgages, which earn higher servicing fees.

MSR amortization was $28.2 million for third quarter 2002 compared with $29.5 million in 2001. In third quarter 2002 there was a MSR impairment loss of $42.5 million compared to a $44.6 million loss in third quarter 2001. Net MSR hedging gains (including the effect of time decay) were $18.7 million in third quarter 2002 compared to $8.7 million net gains in 2001.

The provision for loan losses decreased to $4.3 million in third quarter 2002 compared to $9.7 million in 2001, due to the $7.4 million reduction in provision resulting from the change in risk profile after the sale of the Money Center loans. Excluding the impact of this reduction near the end of the quarter, provision would have increased $2.0 million. Going forward, net charge-offs and the provision for loan losses should decrease due to this change in risk profile.

Total noninterest expense increased 31 percent to $165.4 million in third quarter 2002. The increase was primarily the result of a 31 percent increase in personnel expense that includes the impact of increased commission expense related to the increased mortgage origination volume produced during the quarter. Also included is the impact of the investment made by First Horizon in growing the retail sales force. Since the end of third quarter 2001, the retail sales force has increased 51 percent.

Other consumer lending activities within First Horizon are comprised of lending activities related to national consumer finance and national cross-sell strategies. These lending activities had average outstandings of $2.1 billion for third quarter 2002, which represents a 31 percent increase from 2001. Third quarter 2002 originations were $.4 billion.

Going forward, fee income from refinance loan originations will depend on mortgage interest rates. An increase in rates should reduce origination fees and profit from the sale of loans, but should also reduce MSR amortization expense and impairment losses, while a decrease in rates should increase this net revenue. Flat to rising interest rates should reduce net secondary marketing trading gains, while falling rates should increase this net revenue. If total origination volume increases and/or the yield curve steepens, net interest income from the warehouse should increase, while if volume decreases and/or the yield curve flattens, this revenue should decrease. The continuing success of national cross-sell strategies should increase revenues from products other than traditional mortgage origination and servicing.

Pre-tax income for FTN Financial increased 19 percent to $42.9 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $35.9 million for third quarter 2001.

Total revenues were $134.6 million, an increase of 36 percent from $98.9 million in 2001. Fee income increased 38 percent to $125.7 million in 2002. This increased revenue reflects continued growth and penetration into our targeted institutional customer base through expanded products, services, sales force and marketing efforts. This growth has been influenced by the increased liquidity our customers have experienced as deposit growth has exceeded loan growth. Revenue growth has also been favorably impacted by changes in the interest rate environment and the equity markets. Revenues from non-traditional product initiatives grew by 14 percent in third quarter 2002 compared to last year.

The provision for loan losses was $.8 million in third quarter 2002 compared to $.2 million in third quarter 2001.

Total noninterest expense increased 45 percent to $90.9 million in third quarter 2002 primarily due to an increase in personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, resulting from commissions and incentives associated with the higher fee income this year.

Going forward, revenues will fluctuate based on factors which include the expansion of the customer base, the volume of investment banking transactions and the introduction of new products, as well as the strength of loan growth in the U.S. economy and volatility in the interest rate environment and the equity markets.

Transaction Processing

Pre-tax income for Transaction Processing was $5.7 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $6.0 million for third quarter 2001. Contributing to this decline was the negative effect the slowdown in the hospitality industry had on the contribution of merchant processing to this segment.

Corporate

Corporate had a third quarter pre-tax loss of $22.4 million in 2002, compared to a pre-tax loss of $4.1 million in 2001. Included in the pre-tax loss for third quarter 2002 is the $13.0 million contribution to First Tennessee Foundation. In addition, select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness resulted in a pre-tax net decrease of $4.5 million from third quarter 2001.

Strategic Initiative Items

First Tennessee’s third quarter 2000 earnings press release dated October 18, 2000, announced an ongoing initiative to enhance growth and business mix, in which several slower growth businesses were being considered for divestiture. Several strategic divestitures occurred in 2000 and 2001 – the corporate and municipal trust business and the MONEY BELT ATM network in fourth quarter 2000; the single relationship credit card portfolio in fourth quarter 2000 and first quarter 2001; and the student loan portfolio, Peoples and Union Bank, and a partnership interest in Check Solutions Company in second quarter 2001. In connection with this announced initiative, First Tennessee also announced plans to incur costs and expenses associated with various revenue and expense enhancement programs. First Tennessee has disclosed these revenue and expense items (“Strategic Initiative Items”) separately in order to enhance the comparability of period-to-period results. There was no third quarter 2001 financial statement impact due to Strategic Initiative Items.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Earning assets

During years prior to 2002 certain retail loans have been securitized. The majority of these securities are owned by subsidiaries of First Tennessee, including FTBNA, and are classified as investment securities.

Loans Held for Sale / Investment Securities

Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, increased 37 percent in 2002 to $3.0 billion from $2.2 billion due to the high level of originations in third quarter 2002. Average investment securities decreased 5 percent in third quarter 2002 to $2.4 billion from $2.5 billion.

Deposits / Other Sources of Funds

Core deposits grew 4 percent to $9.6 billion in third quarter 2002 compared to $9.2 billion in 2001. Interest-bearing core deposits decreased 2 percent to $5.8 billion from $5.9 billion due to the loss of funds related to one institutional investor. Excluding the effect of this investor, interest-bearing core deposits would have remained level in 2002. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 16 percent in third quarter 2002 to $3.8 billion from $3.3 billion due to growth in a cash management investment product, demand deposit accounts, and mortgage escrow accounts. Short-term purchased funds increased 15 percent to $7.5 billion from $6.5 billion in third quarter 2001. Short-term purchased funds accounted for 42 percent of First Tennessee’s funding (core deposits, purchased funds and term borrowings) in third quarter 2002 compared to 40 percent in 2001. Term borrowings increased 12 percent to $.7 billion compared to $.6 billion for third quarter 2001.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to meet the demands of depositors, other creditors and borrowers. The Asset/Liability Committee, a committee consisting of senior management that meets regularly, is responsible for managing these needs by taking into account the marketability of assets; the sources, stability and availability of funding; and the level of unfunded commitments. Core deposits are First Tennessee’s primary source of funding and have been a stable source of liquidity for banks. These deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the maximum extent authorized by law. For third quarter 2002, the average total loan to core deposit ratio was 112 percent compared with 108 percent in third quarter 2001. FTBNA has a bank note program available for additional liquidity, under which the bank may borrow funds from time to time, at maturities of 30 days to 30 years. On September 30, 2002, approximately $2.7 billion

was available under current conditions through the bank note program as a long-term (greater than one year) funding source. First Tennessee also evaluates alternative sources of funding, including loan sales, securitizations, syndications, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and debt offerings in its management of liquidity. No employee of First Tennessee benefits personally from any ownership in these arrangements.

First Tennessee has a loan funding arrangement with a commercial paper conduit facility. Loans made under this facility would qualify for First Tennessee’s highest grades of low risk commercial loans if First Tennessee had made these loans. First Tennessee provides a liquidity facility and a credit enhancement to the conduit that totaled $232.4 million on September 30, 2002. The loans in the conduit are not reflected on First Tennessee’s Statement of Condition. Given the relatively small volume of loans currently referred to the conduit, this facility does not represent a critical element of First Tennessee’s liquidity.

First Horizon Home Loans originates conventional conforming and federally insured single-family residential mortgage loans. Likewise, First Tennessee Capital Assets Corporation frequently purchases the same types of loans from our customers. Substantially all of these mortgage loans are exchanged for securities, which are issued through GNMA for federally insured loans and FNMA and FHLMC for conventional loans, and then sold in the secondary markets. In many cases First Horizon Home Loans retains the right to service and receive servicing fees on these loans. After sale, these loans are not reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Condition. Each of these government-sponsored entities has specific guidelines and criteria for sellers and servicers of loans backing their respective securities. During third quarter 2002, approximately $5.6 billion of conventional and federally insured mortgage loans were securitized and sold by First Horizon Home Loans through these government-sponsored entities. First Tennessee’s use of these government-sponsored entities as an efficient outlet for our mortgage loan production is an essential source of liquidity for First Tennessee and other participants in the housing industry.

Certain of First Horizon Home Loans’ originated loans do not conform to the requirements for sale or securitization by FNMA and FHLMC due to exceeding the maximum loan size of approximately $301 thousand (jumbo loans). First Horizon Home Loans pools and securitizes these jumbo loans in proprietary transactions. After securitization and sale, these loans are not reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Condition except as described hereafter. These transactions, which are conducted through single-purpose business trusts, are the most efficient way for First Horizon Home Loans and other participants in the housing industry to monetize these assets. In most cases First Horizon Home Loans retains the right to service and receive servicing fees on these loans and, on occasion, has retained senior principal-only certificates or interest-only strips that are classified on the Consolidated Statement of Condition as trading securities. On September 30, 2002, the outstanding principal amount of loans in these off-balance sheet business trusts was $4.4 billion. Given the significance of First Horizon Home Loans’ origination of non-conforming loans, the use of single-purpose business trusts to securitize these loans is an important source of liquidity to First Tennessee.

Other securitization activity includes an automobile loan securitization in 2000. There was $31.0 million in unpaid principal balance of loans in the securitization trust on September 30, 2002. This securitization is not an essential element of First Tennessee’s liquidity.

In addition to these transactions, liquidity has been obtained in prior years through issuance of guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in First Tennessee’s junior subordinated debentures through a consolidated Delaware business trust wholly owned by First Tennessee ($100.0 million on September 30, 2002) and through preferred stock issued by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of First Tennessee ($44.3 million on September 30, 2002).

First Tennessee has a lease arrangement with a single-purpose entity for First Horizon Home Loan’s main office headquarters in Dallas. Under this arrangement, First Tennessee has guaranteed a significant portion of the residual value of the Dallas property through the end of the lease term in 2011. Approximately $41 million of the construction cost of the property is not reflected on First Tennessee’s Statement of Condition but is rather owned by the single-purpose entity. If the value of the property were to decline below its original construction cost, First Tennessee would be obligated to reimburse the single-purpose entity for a significant portion of the deficiency, if any, at the end of the lease term. The use of this leasing arrangement is not an essential element of First Tennessee’s liquidity.

Table of Contents

Parent company liquidity is maintained by cash flows stemming from dividends and interest payments collected from subsidiaries, which represent the primary source of funds to pay dividends to shareholders and interest to debtholders. The parent company also has the ability to enhance its liquidity position by raising equity or incurring debt. Under an effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), First Tennessee, as of September 30, 2002, may offer from time to time at its discretion, debt securities, and common and preferred stock aggregating up to $225 million. In addition, First Tennessee also has an effective capital securities shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which up to $200 million of capital securities is available for issuance.

CAPITAL

Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. Management’s objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth, take advantage of profitable growth opportunities and promote depositor and investor confidence.

Shareholders’ equity was $1.6 billion on September 30, 2002, an increase of 13 percent from $1.4 billion on September 30, 2001. The increase in capital was primarily due to the retention of net income after dividends. The change in capital was reduced by share repurchases, primarily related to stock option exercises, which totaled $127.6 million, or 3.5 million shares since September 30, 2001. First Tennessee’s board has previously approved the purchase of shares authorized for issuance under its stock option plans. On October 16, 2001, the board of directors extended from June 30, 2002, until December 31, 2004, the non-stock option plan-related repurchases of up to 9.5 million shares, previously approved in October 2000. Through September 30, 2002, 2.5 million shares have been repurchased pursuant to this authority. Pursuant to board authority, First Tennessee plans to continue to repurchase shares from time to time and will evaluate the level of capital and take action designed to generate or use capital as appropriate for the interests of the shareholders. Repurchases will be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and will be subject to market conditions, accumulation of excess equity and prudent capital management.

Average shareholders’ equity increased 15 percent since third quarter 2001 to $1.6 billion from $1.4 billion, reflecting internal capital generation. The average shareholders’ equity to average assets ratio was 7.74 percent for third quarter 2002 compared to 7.37 percent for third quarter 2001. Unrealized market valuations had no material effect on the ratios during third quarter 2002.

On September 30, 2002, the corporation’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.76 percent, the total capital ratio was 11.51 percent and the leverage ratio was 7.36 percent. On September 30, 2002, First Tennessee’s bank affiliates had sufficient capital to qualify as well-capitalized institutions. As discussed in Deposits, Other Sources of Funds and Liquidity Management above, First Horizon Home Loans uses single-purpose business trusts to securitize and sell jumbo loans, which, therefore, are not reflected on First Tennessee’s Statement of Condition. Even if these loans had not been securitized and sold, and were included on the Statement of Condition, First Tennessee and all of its banking affiliates would have been well capitalized.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY (Comparison of first nine months of 2002 to first nine months of 2001)

Earnings for 2002 were $273.1 million and diluted earnings per common share were $2.09. Earnings for 2001 were $229.0 million and diluted earnings per common share were $1.74. Earnings for 2001 before debt restructurings and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles related to derivatives (SFAS No. 133 and EITF 99-00) were $240.4 million. Diluted earnings per common share before debt restructurings and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles were $1.82 in 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, return on average shareholders’ equity was 23.7 percent and return on average assets was 1.83 percent, while in 2001 these ratios were 22.2 percent and 1.61 percent, respectively.

Total revenue increased 14 percent, with a 16 percent increase in fee income and a 12 percent increase in net interest income. Fee income contributed 66 percent to total revenue in 2002 compared with 65 percent in 2001.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, increased 16 percent for the first nine months of 2002 to $1,055.9 million from $912.4 million for the same period last year. The acquisition of Synaxis impacted the results of 2002, adding $29.5 million to noninterest income. Divestiture gains of $2.3 million in 2002 compared with gains of $81.5 million in 2001 (included in Strategic Initiative Items in 2001) also impacted the growth rate. Excluding the impact of Synaxis in 2002 and divestiture gains in both periods, total noninterest income would have increased 23 percent. Mortgage banking fee income increased 32 percent to $410.0 million from $311.5 million. During this period, fees from the mortgage origination process increased $70.1 million primarily due to the increased volume of loans sold into the secondary market combined with increased other gains from secondary marketing activities. MSR net hedge results (net of time decay) increased $35.1 million and mortgage servicing fee income increased $7.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2001. Amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights increased to $87.8 million from $82.7 million in 2001, and MSR impairment loss in 2002 was $98.8 million compared to $87.2 million in 2001. See Table 1 – Mortgage Banking for a breakout of noninterest income as well as mortgage banking origination volume and servicing portfolio levels. Fee income from capital markets increased 37 percent to $321.7 million from $234.8 million for 2001. Total securities bought and sold increased 22 percent to $1.2 trillion compared to 1.0 trillion for 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, fee income in deposit transactions and cash management grew 11 percent to $105.6 million from $94.7 million. Trust services and investment management fees decreased 12 percent to $38.2 million from $43.4 million for the same nine-month period. Insurance premiums and commissions increased 309 percent to $36.7 million from $8.9 million in 2001, primarily due to the acquisition of Synaxis; and merchant processing fees increased 3 percent to $35.8 million from $34.7 million in 2001, primarily due to a portfolio acquisition in second quarter 2002. All other income and commissions increased 3 percent to $105.6 million from $102.9 million. The reasons for the year-to-date trends were similar to the quarterly trend information already discussed.

Net interest income increased 12 percent to $551.3 million from $492.8 million for the first nine months of 2001 while earning assets increased 5 percent to $16.7 billion from $15.9 billion in 2001. Year-to-date consolidated margin increased to 4.40 percent in 2002 from 4.12 percent in 2001. The reasons for the year-to-date trends were similar to the quarterly trend information already discussed.

Total noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2002 increased 16 percent to $1,128.8 million from $977.1 million in 2001. The acquisition of Synaxis impacted the results of 2002, adding $25.2 million to noninterest expense. Excluding the impact of Synaxis in 2002 and Strategic Initiative Items in 2001 (see BUSINESS LINE REVIEW — Strategic Initiative Items below), total noninterest expense would have increased 18 percent. Expenses in First Horizon and FTN Financial fluctuate based on the type and level of activity. Excluding First Horizon and FTN Financial in both periods, Synaxis in 2002 and Strategic Initiative Items in 2001, total operating expense increased 7 percent.

Employee compensation, incentives and benefits (personnel expense), the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 23 percent to $698.2 million from $569.0 million in 2001. Equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance expense decreased 9 percent in 2002 to $51.0 million from $55.9 million in 2001. Occupancy expense increased 4 percent to $55.5 million from $53.5 million in 2001. Communications and courier expense increased 10 percent to $38.9 million in 2002 from $35.4 million in 2001 primarily due to the increased activity levels of FTN Financial. Operations services remained level at $44.8 million in 2002 and 2001. Amortization of intangible assets decreased 45 percent to $4.6 million from $8.4 million in 2001. All other expense increased 12 percent to $235.8 million in 2002 from $210.1 million. The provision for loan losses increased 17 percent to $69.3 million from $59.2 million in the first nine months of 2001. The reasons for the year-to-date trends were similar to the quarterly trend information already discussed. Additional information related to expenses by business line is provided in Table 3 (see also Business Line Review for additional information).

CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

SFAS No. 133 and EITF 99-20 were adopted on January 1, 2001. At that date all freestanding derivative instruments were measured at fair value with differences between the previous book value and fair value reported as a one-time accounting adjustment. Likewise, offsetting gains and losses on hedged assets, liabilities and firm commitments were recognized as adjustments of their respective book values at the adoption date as part of this accounting adjustment, except to the extent that they related to hedges of the variable cash flow exposure of a forecasted transaction. To the extent the adoption adjustment related to hedges of the variable cash flow exposure of a forecasted transaction, the accounting adjustment, a $1.4 million after-tax gain, was reported as a cumulative effect adjustment of comprehensive income in first quarter 2001. Additionally, the new rules regarding the recognition of impairment and income of interest-only strips were adopted. The net one-time accounting adjustments reported on the income statement as the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles were an $8.2 million after-tax loss for first quarter 2001.

DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

In second quarter 2001 there was a $5.1 million pre-tax ($3.2 million after-tax) loss related to debt restructurings. For financial statement presentation purposes this loss is treated as an extraordinary item and therefore, net income and earnings per share are indicated before and after the after-tax loss (see also Note 3 – Earnings Per Share).

BUSINESS LINE REVIEW

FTN Banking Group

For the first nine months of 2002, pre-tax income decreased 3 percent to $182.9 million from $188.1 million. Total revenues for the nine-month period were $568.8 million, an increase of 7 percent from $533.7 million in 2001. Total provision for the nine-month period increased 40 percent to $44.3 million from $31.6 million in 2001, and total noninterest expense increased 9 percent to $341.6 million from $314.0 million in 2001. The acquisition of Synaxis impacted total revenue and total noninterest expense results for the nine-month period. Excluding Synaxis, total revenues for the nine-month period increased 2 percent and total noninterest expense increased 1 percent. The reasons for the year-to-date trends were similar to the quarterly trend information already discussed.

First Horizon

For the first nine months of 2002, pre-tax income increased 167 percent to $144.1 million from $54.0 million in 2001. Total revenues for the nine-month period were $596.5 million, an increase of 35 percent from $441.3 million in 2001. Total provision for the nine-month period decreased 7 percent to $24.9 million from $26.7 million in 2001, and total noninterest expense increased 19 percent to $427.5 million from $360.6 million in 2001.

During this period, fees from the mortgage origination process increased $70.1 million primarily due to the increased volume of loans sold into the secondary market combined with increased other gains from secondary marketing activities. MSR net hedge results (net of time decay) increased $35.1 million and mortgage servicing fee income increased $7.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2001. Amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights increased to $87.8 million from $82.7 million in 2001, and MSR impairment loss in 2002 was $98.8 million compared to $87.2 million in 2001. See Table 1 – Mortgage Banking for a breakout of noninterest income as well as mortgage banking origination volume and servicing portfolio levels.

Total noninterest expense increased primarily due to a 23 percent increase in personnel expense resulting from increased origination volume and investments in production expansion in 2002.

Table of Contents

FTN Financial

For the first nine months of 2002, pre-tax income increased 27 percent to $116.3 million from $91.3 million in 2001. Total revenues for the nine-month period were $352.6 million, an increase of 37 percent from $257.2 million in 2001. Total provision for the nine-month period was $.1 million in 2002 compared to $.9 million in 2001. Total noninterest expense for the nine-month period increased 43 percent to $236.2 million from $165.0 million in 2001. The reasons for the year-to-date trends were similar to the quarterly trend information already discussed.

Transaction Processing

For the first nine months of 2002, pre-tax income increased 46 percent to $17.3 million from $11.9 million in 2001. This increase was primarily due to growth in net interest income due to the current interest rate environment and efficiency improvements in express processing operations.

Corporate

For the first nine months of 2002, Corporate had a pre-tax loss of $53.9 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $16.7 million in 2001. This increase in pre-tax loss was primarily due to (1) a net decrease of $14.0 million related to select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness; (2) the $13.0 million contribution to First Tennessee Foundation in third quarter 2002; and (3) $6.6 million in expenses related to a specific litigation matter in first quarter 2002.

Strategic Initiative Items

First Tennessee’s third quarter 2000 earnings press release dated October 18, 2000, announced an ongoing initiative to enhance growth and business mix, in which several slower growth businesses were being considered for divestiture. Several strategic divestitures occurred in 2000 and 2001 – the corporate and municipal trust business and the MONEY BELT ATM network in fourth quarter 2000; the single relationship credit card portfolio in fourth quarter 2000 and first quarter 2001; and the student loan portfolio, Peoples and Union Bank, and a partnership interest in Check Solutions Company in second quarter 2001. In connection with this announced initiative, First Tennessee also announced plans to incur costs and expenses associated with various revenue and expense enhancement programs. First Tennessee has disclosed these revenue and expense items (“Strategic Initiative Items”) separately in order to enhance the comparability of period-to-period results.

For the first nine months of 2001, Strategic Initiative Items resulted in total revenues of $78.2 million and total noninterest expense of $41.4 million.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

For the first nine months of 2002, total assets averaged $20.0 billion compared with $19.0 billion in 2001. Average loans grew 4 percent to $10.5 billion from $10.1 billion for the first nine months of 2001. Average commercial loans increased 1 percent to $5.5 billion from $5.4 billion in 2001. Retail loans increased 7 percent to $5.0 billion in 2002 compared to $4.7 billion in 2001. Average investment securities decreased 8 percent to $2.4 billion from $2.6 billion for 2001. Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, increased 13 percent for the nine-month period to $2.5 billion from $2.2 billion in 2001.

For the first nine months of 2002, average core deposits increased 2 percent to $9.4 billion from $9.2 billion. While interest-bearing core deposits decreased 3 percent to $5.8 billion from $6.0 billion, noninterest-bearing deposits increased 12 percent to $3.6 billion from $3.2 billion in 2001. Short-term purchased funds increased 6 percent for the nine-month period to $7.2 billion from $6.8 billion. Term borrowings increased 21 percent for the first nine months of 2002 to $.6 billion from $.5 billion in 2001.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

SFAS No. 133, which was adopted on January 1, 2001, establishes accounting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. It requires that changes in the instrument’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings (or other comprehensive income). If certain criteria are met, changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged are also recognized currently in earnings. The initial impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 resulted in a net transition adjustment that was recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

Fair value is determined on the last business day of a reporting period. This point in time measurement of derivative fair values and the related hedged item fair values may be well suited to the measurement of hedge effectiveness, as well as reported earnings, when hedge time horizons are short. The same measurement, however, may not consistently reflect the effectiveness of longer-term hedges and, in First Tennessee’s view, can distort short-term measures of reported earnings. First Tennessee uses a combination of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain components of the interest rate risk associated with its portfolio of capitalized MSR, which currently have an average life of three to four years. Over this long-term time horizon this combination of derivatives can be effective in significantly mitigating the effects of interest rate changes on the value of the servicing portfolio. However, these derivative financial instruments can and do demonstrate significant price volatility depending upon prevailing conditions in the financial markets. If a reporting period ends during a period of volatile financial market conditions, the effect of such point in time conditions on reported earnings does not reflect the underlying economics of the transactions or the true value of the hedges to First Tennessee over their estimated lives. The fact that the fair value of a particular derivative is unusually low or high on the last day of the reporting period is meaningful in evaluating performance during the period only if First Tennessee sells the derivative within the period of time before fair value changes and does not replace the hedge coverage with another derivative. First Tennessee believes the effect of such volatility on short-term measures of earnings is not indicative of the expected long-term performance of this hedging practice.

For its internal evaluation of performance for an applicable period, First Tennessee reclassified select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness from the reported net income of the First Horizon segment to the Corporate segment. The internal evaluation of First Horizon’s long-term performance will include the long-term trend, if any, in these select components of SFAS 133 hedge ineffectiveness.

FURTHER INTERPRETATIONS OF SFAS NO. 133

Certain provisions of SFAS No. 133 continue to undergo significant discussion and debate by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). One such potential issue involves the assessment of hedge effectiveness (and its impact on qualifying for hedge accounting) when hedging fair value changes of prepayable assets due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. As the FASB continues to deliberate interpretation of the new rules, the potential exists for a difference between First Tennessee’s interpretation and that of the FASB, the effects of which cannot presently be anticipated but failure to obtain hedge accounting treatment could be significant to results of operations.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions (an amendment of FASB Statement No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9). This statement requires acquisitions of all or part of a financial institution meeting the definition of a business combination to be accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Any previously recorded unidentified intangible asset related to the acquisition of a financial institution must now be classified as goodwill and is subject to the impairment testing provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment testing of previously identified long-term customer-

relationship intangible assets will be subject to the impairment testing provisions of SFAS No 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Provisions of this statement are effective for acquisitions on or after October 1, 2002. Provisions related to the accounting for impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets and transition provisions for previously recognized unidentified intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires that a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. Prior to the effective date of this statement, costs associated with an exit or disposal plan were recognized at the date of commitment, as required under EITF Issued 94-3. This statement does not apply to costs associated with an exit activity that involves an entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144. This statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect, if material in the aggregate. Due to the rescission of SFAS No. 4, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. SFAS No. 64 amended SFAS No. 4, and is no longer necessary because of the rescission of SFAS No. 4. SFAS No. 44, which established accounting requirements for the effects of transition provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, is no longer necessary because the transition has been completed. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. In addition this Statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements, which are generally not substantive in nature. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item will be reclassified. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. First Tennessee expects the impact of adopting this standard to be immaterial.

Accordingly, the Plan is intended as a further means not only of attracting and retaining outstanding personnel, but also of promoting a closer identity of interest between employees and shareholders. 2. DEFINITIONS. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below: (a) "Change in Control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) individuals who, on January 21, 1997, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to January 21, 1997, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; (ii) any "Person" (as defined under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and as used in Section 13(d) or Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the "Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall not be deemed to be a change in control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns more than 50% of the voting securities or interests (a "Subsidiary"), (B) by an employee stock ownership or employee benefit plan or trust sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph (iii)); (iii) the shareholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a "Business Combination"), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person 1 (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Computations required by paragraph (iii) shall be made on and as of the date of shareholder approval and shall be based on reasonable assumptions that will result in the lowest percentage obtainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a change in control of the Company shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a change in control of the Company shall then occur. (b) "Committee" means the Stock Option Committee or any successor committee designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Stock Option Plan, as provided in Section 5(a) hereof.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the Board of Director of the Company. No options may be granted under the Plan after the month and day in the year 2006 corresponding to the day before the month and day on which the Plan becomes effective. The term of options granted on or before such date may, however, extend beyond that date. 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. (a) The Company may grant options under the Plan authorizing the issuance of no more than 27,950,000 shares of its $0.625 par value (adjusted for any stock splits) common stock, which will be provided from shares purchased in the open market or privately (that became authorized but unissued shares under state corporation law) or by the issuance of previously authorized but unissued shares. (b) Shares as to which options previously granted under this Plan shall for any reason lapse shall be restored to the total number available for grant of options. 5. PLAN ADMINISTRATION.

(b) The Committee shall adopt such rules of procedure as it may deem proper.

Determination by the Committee of the employees to whom options shall be granted shall be conclusive. (b) An individual may receive more than one option. 3 7. OPTION PRICE. The option price per share to be paid by the grantee to the Company upon exercise of the option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted, nor shall the price per share be less than the par value of the share. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the option price per share may be less than 100% of the fair market value of the share at the time the option is granted if: (a) The grantee of the option has entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which the grant of the option is in lieu of the payment of compensation; and (b) The amount of such compensation when added to the cash exercise price of the option equals at least 100% of the fair market value (at the time the option is granted) of the shares subject to option. "Fair market value" for purposes of the Plan shall be the mean between the high and low sales prices at which shares of the Company were sold on the valuation day as quoted by the Nasdaq Stock Market or, if there were no sales on that day, then on the last day prior to the valuation day during which there were sales. In the event that this method of valuation is not practicable, then the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish the method by which fair market value shall be determined. 8. TERMS OR QUOTAS OF OPTIONS: (a) TERM. Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable only during a term (the "Term of the Option") commencing one year, or such other period of time (which may be less than or more than one year) as is determined to be appropriate by the Committee, after the date when the option was granted and ending (unless the option shall have terminated earlier under other provisions of the Plan) on a date to be fixed by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable in full immediately upon a Change in Control. (b) QUOTAS. The Committee shall have authority to grant options exercisable in full at any time during their term, or exercisable in quotas. Quotas or portions thereof not purchased in earlier periods shall be cumulated and be available for purchase in later periods. In exercising his or her option, the grantee may purchase less than the full quota available to him or her. (c) EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock options shall be exercised by delivering, mailing, or transmitting to the Committee or its designee (for all purposes under the Plan, in the absence of an express designation by the Committee, the Company's Personnel Division Manager is deemed to be the Committee's designee) the following items: (i) A notice, in the form, by the method, and at times prescribed by the Committee, specifying the number of shares to be purchased; and (ii) A check or money order payable to the Company for the full option price. In addition, the Committee in its sole discretion may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay, or make partial payment of, the option price with shares of Company common stock in lieu of cash. In addition, in its sole discretion the Committee may determine that it is an appropriate method of payment for grantees to pay for any shares subject to an option by delivering a properly executed exercise notice together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price (a "cashless exercise"). To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. The value of Company common stock surrendered in payment of the exercise price shall be its fair market value, determined pursuant to Section 7, on the date of exercise. Upon receipt of such notice of exercise of a stock option and upon payment of the option price by a method other than a cashless exercise, the Company shall promptly 4 deliver to the grantee (or, in the event the grantee has executed a deferral agreement, the Company shall deliver to the grantee at the time specified in such deferral agreement) a certificate or certificates for the shares purchased, without charge to him or her for issue or transfer tax. (d) POSTPONEMENTS. The Committee may postpone any exercise of an option for such period of time as the Committee in its discretion reasonably believes necessary to prevent any acts or omissions that the Committee reasonably believes will be or will result in the violation of any state or federal law; and the Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any provision of the Plan or the terms of any prior grant of an option to recognize the exercise of an option or to sell or issue shares during the period of such postponement. Any such postponement shall automatically extend the time within which the option may be exercised, as follows: The exercise period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of days of the postponement, but in no event shall the exercise period be extended beyond the last day of the postponement for more days than there were remaining in the option exercise period on the first day of the postponement. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, nor any of their respective directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the grantee of an option or to a successor with respect to any shares as to which the option shall lapse because of such postponement. (e) NON-TRANSFERABILITY. All options granted under the Plan shall be non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, subject to Section 10 hereof, and an option may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee only by him or her or by his/her guardian or legal representative. (f) CERTIFICATES. The stock certificate or certificates to be delivered under this Plan may, at the request of the grantee, be issued in his or her name or, with the consent of the Company, the name of another person as specified by the grantee. (g) RESTRICTIONS. This subsection (g) shall be void and of no legal effect in the event of a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in any other section or subsection herein to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all options (except options designated by the Committee as FirstShare options), exercises and grantees. An amount equal to the spread realized in connection with the exercise of an option within six months prior to a grantee's voluntary resignation shall be paid to the Company by the grantee in the event that the grantee, within six months following voluntary resignation, engages, directly or indirectly, in any activity determined by the Committee to be competitive with any activity of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. (h) TAXES. The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount of any tax attributable to amounts payable or shares deliverable under the Plan, and the Company may defer making payment or delivery of any benefits under the Plan if any tax is payable until indemnified to its satisfaction. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules which it may adopt, permit a grantee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any federal, state and local withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of a stock option, by electing either: (i) to have the Company withhold shares of Company common stock from the shares to be issued upon the exercise of the option; (ii) to permit a grantee to tender back shares of Company common stock issued upon the exercise of an option; or (iii) to deliver to the Company previously owned shares of Company common stock, having, in the case of (i), (ii), or (iii), a fair market value equal to the amount of the federal, state, and local withholding tax associated with the exercise of the option. 5 (i) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO OPTION AGREEMENTS IN LIEU OF COMPENSATION. If the Committee, in its discretion permits participants to enter into agreements as contemplated by Section 7 herein, then such agreements must be irrevocable and cannot be changed by the participant once made, and such agreements must be made at least prior to the performance of any services with respect to which an option may be granted. If any participant who enters into such an agreement terminates employment prior to the grant of the option, then the option will not be granted and all compensation which would have been covered by the option will be paid to the participant in cash. 9. EXERCISE OF OPTION BY GRANTEE ON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If a person to whom an option has been granted shall cease, for a reason other than his or her death, disability, early retirement, retirement, workforce reduction, or voluntary resignation, to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary, the option shall terminate three months after the cessation of employment, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Until the option terminates, it may be exercised by the grantee for all or a portion of the shares as to which the right to purchase had accrued under the Plan at the time of cessation of employment, subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions provided in Section 8 hereof. If a person to whom an option has been granted shall retire or become disabled, the option shall terminate five years after the date of early retirement, retirement or disability, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise by a retiree or disabled grantee is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of early retirement, retirement or disability, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. If a person shall voluntarily resign, his option to the extent not previously exercised shall terminate at once. In the event that the sale of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities (referred to herein as "the sale of the Division") of the HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation division (the "Division") of First Horizon Home Loan Corporation occurs, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the grantee of one or more stock options described in the second sentence of Section 7 of the Plan is employed by the Division immediately prior to the closing of the sale of the Division and is not an employee of the Equibanc department of the Division and if the employment of the grantee of such option or options terminates at the time of the closing of the sale of the Division, then each of such stock options shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Memphis time on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the sale of the Division (or if such date is not a business day, then on the immediately preceding business day), unless it terminates earlier under the Plan. The exercise of each of such options is subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions provided in Section 8 hereof. If the grantee of one or more stock options described in the second sentence of Section 7 of the Plan or as to which the number of shares awarded was based on a formula which included a percentage of the grantee's annual bonus or target bonus or participation in a bonus plan shall cease to be employed as a result of a workforce reduction, then each of such stock options shall terminate on the date specified by the Committee, not to exceed five years after the date of termination, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of termination, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. If the grantee of one or more stock options not described in the prior two sentences of this paragraph shall cease to be employed as a result of a workforce reduction, then each of such stock options shall terminate on the date specified by the Committee, not to exceed three years after the date of termination, unless it terminates earlier under other provisions of the Plan. Although such exercise is not limited to exercise rights which had accrued at the date of termination, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. 10. EXERCISE OF OPTION AFTER DEATH OF GRANTEE. If the grantee of an option shall die while in the employ of the Company or within three months after ceasing to be an employee, and if the option was in effect at the time of his or her death (whether or not its term had then commenced), the option may, until the expiration of five years from the date of death of the grantee or until the earlier expiration of the term of the option, be exercised by the successor of the deceased grantee. Although such exercise is not limited to the exercise rights which had accrued at the date of death of the grantee, such exercise shall be subject to all applicable conditions and restrictions prescribed in Section 8 hereof. 11. PYRAMIDING OF OPTIONS. The Committee in its sole discretion may from time to time permit the method of exercising options known as pyramiding (the automatic application of shares received upon the exercise of a portion of a stock option to satisfy the exercise price for additional portions of the option). 6 12. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. No person shall have any rights of a shareholder by virtue of a stock option except with respect to shares actually issued to him or her, and issuance of shares shall confer no retroactive right to dividends. 13. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Any increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company occurring through stock splits or stock dividends after the adoption of the Plan shall be reflected proportionately: (a) in an increase in the aggregate number of shares then available for the grant of options under the Plan, or becoming available through the termination or forfeiture of options previously granted but unexercised; (b) in the number subject to options then outstanding; and (c) in the quotas remaining available for exercise under outstanding options, and a proportionate reduction shall be made in the per-share option price as to any outstanding options or portions thereof not yet exercised. Any fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated. If changes in capitalization other than those considered above shall occur, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the number and class of shares for which options may thereafter be granted, and in the number and class of shares remaining subject to options previously granted and in the per-share option price as the Board in its discretion may consider appropriate, and all such adjustments shall be conclusive. 14. TERMINATION, SUSPENSION, OR MODIFICATION OF PLAN. The Board of Directors may at any time terminate, suspend, or modify the Plan, except that the Board of Directors shall not amend the Plan in violation of law. No termination, suspension, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any right acquired by any grantee, or by any successor of a grantee (as provided in Section 10 hereof), under the terms of an option granted before the date of such termination, suspension, or modification, unless such grantee or successor shall consent, but it shall be conclusively presumed that any adjustment for changes in capitalization as provided in Section 13 does not adversely affect any such right. 15. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its shares under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes. 16. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any stock option shall confer upon the grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time. 17. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all determinations thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee. 18. SUCCESSORS. This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The term "Company," as used in the Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan. 7 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
