Documents Incorporated by Reference: NONE 2 PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS THE COMPANY The Company is a registered bank holding company organized under the laws of Tennessee, chartered in 1985. The Company, with consolidated total assets of approximately $78 million at December 31, 1997, is headquartered in Rogersville, Tennessee with offices in Church Hill and Sneedville, Tennessee and conducts its operations through its subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of East Tennessee (the "Bank"), a state bank organized under the laws of the state of Tennessee in April 1906. The Company does not engage in any activities other than acting as a bank holding company for the Bank. The Company believes it can present an alternative to recent mega-mergers by offering local ownership, local decision making and other personalized service characteristics of community banks. The holding company structure provides flexibility for expansion of the Company's banking business through acquisition of other financial institutions and provision of additional banking-related services which the traditional commercial bank may not provide under present laws. The Bank provides a full range of retail banking services, including (i) the acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits; (ii) the making of loans to consumers, businesses and other institutions; (iii) the investment of excess funds in the sale of federal funds, U.S. government and agency obligations, and state, county and municipal bonds; and (iv) other miscellaneous financial services usually handled for customers by commercial banks. MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION The Company and the Bank compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and finance companies operating in Hancock and Hawkins counties and elsewhere. One other commercial bank is doing business in Hancock County, and in Hawkins County there are five commercial banks and savings and loan associations. The Bank is subject to substantial competition in all aspects of its business. Intense competition for loans and deposits comes from other financial institutions in the market area. In certain aspects of its business, the Bank also competes with credit unions, small loan companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, finance companies, brokerage houses and other financial institutions, some of which are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction as the Bank and some of which have financial resources greater than those of the Bank. The future success of the Bank will depend primarily upon the difference between the cost of its borrowing (primarily interest paid on deposits) and income from operations (primarily interest or fees earned on loans, sales of loans and investments). The Bank competes for funds with other institutions, which, in most cases, are significantly larger and are able to provide a greater variety of services than the Bank and thus may obtain deposits at lower rates of interest.

- ---------- (1) Increases (decreases) are attributable to volume changes and rate changes on the following basis: Volume Change equals change in volume times prior year rate. Rate Change equals change in rate times prior year volume. The Rate/Volume Change equals the change in volume times the change in rate, and it is allocated between Volume Change and Rate Change at the ratio that the absolute value of each of these components bears to the absolute value of their total. The change attributable to securities sold under repurchase agreements is allocated 100% as a change in volume for 1996. (2) For purposes of this schedule, non-accruing loans are included in the average balances and tax exempt income is reflected on a tax equivalent basis. As tax exempt income is exempt only for Federal income tax purposes and not Tennessee purposes, tax equivalent income is based upon an effective 34% tax rate. Loan fees included in interest income are not material to the presentation. LIABILITY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. - 4 - 5 The asset/liability committee, which consists of H. Lyons Price, Reed D. Matney, Lawrence E. Gray and other officers, is charged with monitoring the liquidity and funds position of the Company. The Committee regularly reviews (a) the rate sensitivity position on a three-month, six-month, and one-year time horizon; (b) loans to deposit ratios; and (c) average maturity for certain categories of liabilities. The Company does not operate an asset/liability management model. No estimates of the impact of changing interest rates on historical or projected earnings are available. The current level of interest rate risk can, however, be inferred from maturity and repricing data. At December 31, 1997, the Company had a negative cumulative repricing gap within one year of approximately $29.3 million, or approximately 40.82% of total earning assets. This negative repricing gap indicates that the Company's future earnings may be materially adversely impacted by a rise in market interest rates, as occurred in early 1995, and such impact would primarily be felt in the twelve month period after such a rise in rates. The Company is in the process of selecting an asset/liability model with which to simulate operations and subsequently develop policies regarding permitted gap positions, permitted risks in deviations from budget earnings and liquidity. In the interim, management is acquiring securities to be designated available for sale in order to better manage unexpected liquidity needs and swings in interest rates. The following table represents an interest sensitivity profile for the Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. The table represents a static point in time and does not consider other variables, such as changing spread relationships or interest rate levels. "Net repricing gap" is the difference between total earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities repricing in any given period and "cumulative gap" is the sum of the net repricing gap from period to period. Interest-bearing demand, savings and money market account deposits are presented as repricing in the earliest period presented.

Management has made the following assumptions in the above analysis: (a) Assets and liabilities are generally assigned to a period based upon their earliest repricing period when the repricing is less than the contractual maturity. (b) Nonaccrual loans are included in the loan category. (c) Investment securities available for sale are currently treated in the same manner as comparable securities in the investment securities held to maturity portfolio in that they are scheduled according to the earlier of their contractual maturities or earliest repricing dates; however, the maturities of callable agency securities are scheduled according to their call dates when valued at a premium to par. (d) Money market deposits and savings deposits that have no contractual maturities are scheduled in the within 3 months category. - 6 - 7 DEPOSITS The Company's primary sources of funds are interest-bearing deposits. The following table sets forth the Company's deposit structure at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

INVESTMENT POLICY The objective of the Company's investment policy is to invest funds not otherwise needed to meet the loan demand of its market area to earn the maximum return for the Company, yet still maintain sufficient liquidity to meet fluctuations in the Company's loan demand and deposit structure. In doing so, the Company balances the market and credit risks against the potential investment return, makes investments compatible with the pledge requirements of the Company's deposits of public funds, maintains compliance with regulatory investment requirements, and assists the various public entities with their financing needs. H. Lyons Price and Reed D. Matney are authorized to execute security transactions for the investment portfolio based on the decisions of the investment committee. The investment committee, which consists of the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, has full authority over the investment portfolio and makes decisions on purchases and sales of securities. All the investment transactions occurring since the previous board of directors' meeting are reviewed by the board at its next monthly meeting, and the entire portfolio is reviewed on a semi-annual basis. The investment policy allows portfolio holdings to include short-term securities purchased to provide the Company's needed liquidity and longer term securities purchased to generate level income for the Company over periods of interest rate fluctuations. The Company's investment securities portfolio of $18,193,760 at December 31, 1997, consisted of $1,085,104 of securities held to maturity, which are carried at amortized cost and $17,108,656 of securities available for sale which are carried at market value. In addition, unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale were $98,995 and unrealized losses were $14,997. The Company's investment securities portfolio of $15,122,740 at December 31, 1996, consisted of $1,603,847 of securities held to maturity, which are carried at amortized cost and $13,518,893 of securities available for sale which are carried at market value. In addition, unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale were $51,909 and unrealized losses were $132,332. - 9 - 10 As reflected in Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements, the investment securities held to maturity had unrealized gains of $8,563 and unrealized losses of $10,429 at December 31, 1997, compared to $9,264 unrealized gains and $16,955 unrealized losses at year end December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $250,000 of structured notes in the held to maturity category, which constitutes approximately 1.4% of its investment securities portfolio. Structured notes have uncertain cash flows which are driven by interest rate movements and expose the Company to greater market risk than traditional medium-term notes. All of the Company's investments of this type are government agency issues (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal National Mortgage Association). The unrealized loss in these securities was approximately $3,000 or 28.8% of total gross unrealized losses on held to maturity securities. It is management's intent to hold these securities to maturity. The market risk associated with the structured notes is not considered material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. At December 31, 1997, the Company had two inverse floaters issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $500,000 in the held to maturity category. These notes represented approximately 2.75% of the investment portfolio. The unrealized loss of approximately $6,000 associated with these notes represented approximately 57.5% of the Company's gross unrealized losses in the held to maturity category. These notes have uncertain cash flows which are driven by interest rate movements and may expose the Company to greater market risk than traditional medium-term notes. In addition, these notes contain quarterly call and repricing features which may expose the Company to greater prepayment and interest rate risks. These notes were acquired by the former management of the Company based on the assumption of continued falling interest rates. A continued rise in interest rates would increase the unrealized losses associated with these notes. It is management's intent to hold these notes to maturity. The market risk associated with these inverse floaters is not considered material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. LOAN PORTFOLIO Total loans of $48,683,000 at December 31, 1997, reflected an increase of $13,086,000 compared to total loans for the year ended December 31, 1996. Residential real estate loans, which historically have had low loss experience, increased $4,890,000 or 39.8%. Construction and land development loans, loans secured by farmland and commercial real estate loans increased by $4,472,000 or 40.2%. Commercial and industrial loans and agricultural loans increased by $1,376,000 or 34.4%. These types of loans carry a higher level of risk in that the borrowers' ability to repay may be affected by local economic trends. Installment and other consumer loans increased by $2,638,000 , or 33.6%. These loans, generally secured by automobiles and other consumer goods, contain a historically higher level of risk; however, this risk is mitigated by the fact that these loans generally consist of small individual balances. As the loan portfolio is concentrated in Hancock and surrounding counties, there is a risk that the borrowers' ability to repay the loans could be affected by changes in local economic conditions. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

LOAN POLICY All lending activities of the Company are under the direct supervision and control of the senior loan committee, which consists of three directors. The loan committee enforces loan authorizations for each officer, decides on loans exceeding such limits, services all requests for officer credits to the extent allowable under current laws and regulations, administers all problem credits, and determines the allocation of funds for each lending division. The Company's established maximum loan volume to deposits is 85%. The loan portfolio consists primarily of real estate, commercial, farming and installment loans. Commercial loans consist of either real estate loans or term loans. Maturity of term loans is normally limited to five to seven years. Conventional real estate loans may be made up to 80% of the appraised value or purchase cost of the real estate for no more than a thirty-year term. Installment loans are based on the earning capacity and vocational stability of the borrower. The board of directors at its regularly scheduled meetings reviews all new loans in excess of $100,000 made the preceding month. Loans which are 30 days or more past due are reviewed monthly. Management of the Company periodically reviews the loan portfolio, particularly nonaccrual and renegotiated loans. The review may result in a determination that a loan should be placed on a nonaccrual status for income recognition. In addition, to the extent that management identifies potential losses in the loan portfolio, it reduces the book value of such loans, through charge-offs, to their estimated collectible value. The Company's policy is to classify as nonaccrual any loan on which payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due except where there is adequate collateral to cover principal and accrued interest and the loan is in the process of collection. Management defines "in the process of collection" as that point where the customer has agreed to an accelerated repayment plan to - 11 - 12 bring the loan current, which definition is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") but is not in accordance with such definition as contained in Banking Bulletin 91-19. No concessions are granted and late fees are collected. In addition, a loan will be classified as nonaccrual if, in the opinion of the management, based upon a review of the borrower's or guarantor's financial condition, collateral value or other factors, payment is questionable, even though payments are not 90 days or more past due. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, any unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Interest is included in income thereafter only to the extent received in cash. The loan remains in a nonaccrual classification until such time as the loan is brought current, when it may be returned to accrual classification. When principal or interest on a nonaccrual loan is brought current, if in management's opinion future payments are questionable, the loan would remain classified as nonaccrual. After a nonaccrual or renegotiated loan is charged off, any subsequent payments of either interest or principal are applied first to any remaining balance outstanding, then to recoveries and lastly to income. The large number of consumer installment loans and the relatively small dollar amount of each makes an individual review impracticable. It is the Company's policy to charge off any consumer installment loan which is past due 90 days or more. In addition, mortgage loans secured by real estate are placed on nonaccrual status when the mortgagor is in bankruptcy, or foreclosure proceedings are instituted. Any accrued interest receivable remains an obligation of the borrower. The Company's underwriting guidelines are applied to four major categories of loans, commercial and industrial, consumer, agricultural and real estate which includes residential, construction and development and certain other real estate loans. The Company requires its loan officers and loan committee to consider the borrower's character, the borrower's financial condition as reflected in current financial statements, the borrower's management capability, the borrower's industry and the economic environment in which the loan will be repaid. Before approving a loan, the loan officer or committee must determine that the borrower is basically honest and creditworthy, determine that the borrower is a capable manager, understand the specific purpose of the loan, understand the source and plan of repayment, determine that the purpose, plan and source of repayment as well as collateral are acceptable, reasonable and practical given the normal framework within which the borrower operates. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES Credit risk and exposure to loss are inherent parts of the banking business. Management seeks to manage and minimize these risks through its loan and investment policies and loan review procedures. Management establishes and continually reviews lending and investment criteria and approval procedures that it believes reflect the risk sensitive nature of the Company. The loan review procedures are set to monitor adherence to the established criteria and to ensure that on a continuing basis such standards are enforced and maintained. Management's objective in establishing lending and investment standards is to manage the risk of loss and provide for income generation through pricing policies. To effectuate this policy, the Company makes commercial real estate and farming loans with one year or less fixed maturity. The loan portfolio is regularly reviewed and management determines the amount of loans to be charged-off. In addition, such factors as the Company's previous loan loss experience, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, industry concentrations and the overall quality of the loan portfolio are considered. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and real estate owned, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowances for losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available at the time of their examinations. In addition, any loan or portion thereof which is classified as a "loss" by regulatory examiners is charged-off. - 12 - 13 The reserve for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to operating expense. The reserve is reduced by charging off loans or portions of loans at the time they are deemed by management to be uncollectible and increased when loans previously charged off are recovered. The resulting reserve for loan losses is viewed by management as a single, unallocated reserve available for all loans and, in management's opinion, is adequate to provide for reasonably foreseeable potential loan losses. Rules and formulas relative to the adequacy of the reserve, although useful as guidelines to management, are not rigidly applied. The reserve for loan losses was $660,336 at year end 1997, or 1.36% of loans outstanding, net of unearned income, compared to $57,432 or 1.29% at year end 1996. The following table presents data related to the Company's reserve for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 19965.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the allowance for loan losses was allocated as follows:
1997 1996 ------------------------ ------------------------ Percent of Percent of loans in each loans in each category to category to Amount total loans Amount total loans ------ ----------- ------ ----------- (Dollars in thousands) Commercial, financial and agricultural ............................... $165 11.04% $ 70 12.20% Real estate mortgage ................................................. 0 67.29% 168 65.73% Installment loans to individuals ..................................... 495 21.67% 219 22.07% ---- ------ ---- ------ Total ............................................................. $660 100.00% $457 100.00% ==== ====== ==== ======
The allocation of the allowance is presented based in part on evaluations of past history and composition of the loan portfolio. Since these factors are subject to change, the current allocation of the allowance is not necessarily indicative of the breakdown of future losses. The following table sets forth information with respect to nonperforming loans of the Company on the dates indicated. Accrual of interest is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the full, timely collections of interest or principal. When a loan becomes contractually past due 90 days with respect to interest or principal, it is reviewed and a determination is made as to whether it should be placed on nonaccrual status. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to principal and interest and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to principal and interest. Restructured loans are those loans on which concessions in terms have been granted because of a borrower's financial difficulty. Interest is generally accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms. - 13 - 14

CAPITAL RESOURCES/LIQUIDITY Liquidity. Of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators is the ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities. The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash due from banks, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. In order to insure funds are available at all times, the Company devotes resources to projecting on a monthly basis the amount of funds which will be required and maintains relationships with a diversified customer base so funds are accessible. Liquidity requirements can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets which are generally matched to correspond to the maturity of liabilities. Although the Company has no formal liquidity policy, in the opinion of management, its liquidity levels are considered adequate. Neither the Company nor the Bank is subject to any specific liquidity requirements imposed by regulatory orders. The Bank is subject to general FDIC guidelines which do not require a minimum level of liquidity. Management believes its liquidity ratios meet or exceed these guidelines. Management does not know of any trends or demands which are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material manner. The following table sets forth liquidity ratios for the periods indicated:
1997 1996 ----- ----- Average loans to average deposits ................... 68.98% 63.08%
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation on operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services. CAPITAL ADEQUACY Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital required to sustain asset growth over time and to absorb losses. The objective of the Company's management is to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities while meeting regulatory requirements. This is achieved by improving profitability through effectively allocating resources to more profitable businesses, improving asset quality, strengthening service quality, and streamlining costs. The primary measures used by management to monitor the results of these efforts are the ratios of average equity to average assets, average tangible equity to average tangible assets, and average equity to net loans. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted capital guidelines governing the activities of bank holding companies. These guidelines require the maintenance of an amount of capital based on risk-adjusted assets so that categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more capital backing than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks - 14 - 15 and bank holding companies are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain off-balance sheet activities such as loan commitments. The capital guidelines classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier I and Tier II. Under risk-based capital requirements, total capital consists of Tier I capital which is generally common stockholders' equity less goodwill and Tier II capital which is primarily a portion of the allowance for loan losses and certain qualifying debt instruments. In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned risk-weights of 0% to 100%, depending primarily on the regulatory assigned levels of credit risk associated with such assets. Off-balance sheet items are considered in the calculation of risk-adjusted assets through conversion factors established by the regulators. The framework for calculating risk-based capital requires banks and bank holding companies to meet the regulatory minimums of 4% Tier I and 8% total risk-based capital. In 1990 regulators added a leveraged computation to the capital requirements, comparing Tier I capital to total average assets less goodwill. The Company's consolidated capital ratios are set forth below. See Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank-only capital ratios.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") established five capital categories for banks and bank holding companies. The bank regulators adopted regulations defining these five capital categories in September 1992. Under these new regulations each bank is classified into one of the five categories based on its level of risk-based capital as measured by Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier I leverage ratios and its supervisory ratings. The following table lists the five categories of capital and each of the minimum requirements for the three risk- based capital ratios.
Total Risk-Based Tier I Risk-Based Leverage Capital Ratio Capital Ratio Ratio ------------- ------------- ----- Well-capitalized...................................... 10% or above 6% or above 5% or above Adequately capitalized................................ 8% or above 4% or above 4% or above Undercapitalized...................................... Less than 8% Less than 4% Less than 4% Significantly undercapitalized........................ Less than 6% Less than 3% Less than 3% Critically undercapitalized........................... -- -- 2% or less
On December 31, 1996, the Company exceeded the regulatory minimums and qualified as a well-capitalized institution under the regulations. - 15 - 16 CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). Under the BHCA, bank holding companies may not in general directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. The BHCA also restricts the types of activities in which a bank holding company and its subsidiaries may engage. Generally, activities are limited to banking and activities found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, the BHCA prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from approving an application by a bank holding company to acquire shares of a bank or bank holding company located outside the acquiror's principal state of operations unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by statute in the state in which the bank or bank holding company whose shares are to be acquired is located. Tennessee has adopted legislation that authorizes nationwide interstate bank acquisitions, subject to certain state law reciprocity requirements, including the filing of an application with and approval of the Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions. The Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974, as amended, restricts the acquisition by bank holding companies of banks in Tennessee. A bank holding company is prohibited from acquiring any bank in Tennessee as long as banks that it controls retain 30% or more of the total deposits in individual, partnership and corporate demand and other transaction accounts and in savings accounts and time deposits in all federally insured financial institutions in Tennessee, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. Also, under this act, no bank holding company may acquire any bank in operation for less than five years or begin a de novo bank in any county in Tennessee with a population, in 1970, of 200,000 or less, subject to certain exceptions. Under Tennessee law, branch banking is permitted in any county in the state. The Bank is a Tennessee state-chartered bank and is subject to the regulations of and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") as well as the DFI, Tennessee's state banking authority. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the type of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking subsidiary. The principal source of cash flow of the Company, including cash flow to pay dividends on its stock or principal (premium, if any) and interest on debt securities, is dividends from the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company, as well as by the Company to its shareholders. The Bank is subject to the Tennessee Banking Act, which provides that dividends will be paid out of undivided profits. Capital surplus, however, must equal or exceed 50% of capital stock, and in the event capital surplus falls below 50% of capital stock, no dividends may be paid until net profits have been transferred to capital surplus so that it equals 50% of capital stock. Thereafter, 10% of net profits must be transferred to capital surplus prior to payment of dividends until capital surplus equals capital stock. The Bank is also subject to the minimum capital requirements of the FDIC which impact the Bank's ability to pay dividends. If the Bank fails to meet these standards, it may not be able to pay dividends or to accept additional deposits because of regulatory requirements. See "Certain Regulatory Considerations." Under current Tennessee tax law, cash dividends paid by Tennessee banks to Tennessee residents are exempt from state income tax. Under federal income tax law, dividends paid by the Bank would be considered taxable. - 16 - 17 If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authority, a depository institution or a holding company is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the depository institution or holding company, could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require that such institution or holding company cease and desist from such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution's or holding company's capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. The payment of dividends by the Company and the Bank may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which the Company can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from the Bank. There are also legal restrictions on the Bank's purchases of or investments in the securities of and purchase of assets from the Company, a bank's loans or extensions of credit to third parties, collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Company, the issuance of guaranties, acceptances and letters of credit on behalf of the Company, and certain bank transactions with the Company, or with respect to which the Company acts as agent, participates or has a financial interest. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Bank may not extend credit to the Company or to any other affiliate in an amount which exceeds 10% of the Bank's capital stock and surplus and may not extend credit in the aggregate to such affiliates in an amount which exceeds 20% of its capital stock and surplus. Further, there are legal requirements as to the type, amount and quality of collateral which must secure such extensions of credit by the Bank to the Company or to such other affiliates. Also, extensions of credit and other transactions between the Bank and the Company or such other affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. Also, the Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT OF THE BANK Because the Company is a holding company, its right to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors (including depositors in the case of bank subsidiaries) except to the extent that the Company may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and commit resources to support, the Bank. This support may be required at times when, absent such Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company may not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment. CROSS-GUARANTEE LIABILITY Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA"), a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution "in danger of default." "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as - 17 - 18 the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institution. The Bank is subject to these cross-guarantee provisions. As a result, any loss suffered by the FDIC in respect of the Bank would likely result in assertion of the cross-guarantee provisions, and a potential loss of the Company's investment in the Bank. FDICIA The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") which was enacted on December 19, 1991, substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions of the FDIA and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Under applicable regulations, a FDIC-insured depository institution is defined to be well capitalized if it maintains a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, a risk adjusted Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6% and a Total Capital Ratio of at least 10% and is not subject to a directive, order or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. An insured depository institution is defined to be adequately capitalized if it meets all of its minimum capital requirements as described above. In addition, an insured depository institution will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below such measure and critically undercapitalized if it fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to not less than 2% of total assets. An insured depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating. The capital-based prompt corrective action provision of FDICIA and their implementing regulations apply to FDIC-insured depository institutions and are not directly applicable to holding companies which control such institutions. However, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that, in regulating bank holding companies, it will take appropriate action at the holding company level based on an assessment of the effectiveness of supervisory actions imposed upon subsidiary depository institutions pursuant to such provisions and regulations. FDICIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. A depository institution's holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the institution fails to comply with the plan. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator generally within 90 days of the date on which they became critically undercapitalized. The Company believes that at March 1, 1998, the Bank was well capitalized under the criteria discussed above. FDICIA contain numerous other provisions, including new accounting, audit and reporting requirements, beginning in 1995 termination of the "too big to fail" doctrine except in special cases, limitations on the FDIC's payment - 18 - 19 of deposits at foreign branches, new regulatory standards in such areas as asset quality, earnings and compensation and revised regulatory standards for, among other things, powers of state banks, real estate lending and capital adequacy. FDICIA also requires that a depository institution provide 90 days prior notice of the closing of any branches. Various other legislation, including proposals to revise the bank regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository institution may make with insured funds, is from time to time introduced in Congress. INTERSTATE ACT The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Act"), which was enacted on September 29, 1994, among other things and subject to certain conditions and exceptions, permits on an interstate basis (i) bank holding company acquisitions commencing one year after enactment of banks (of a minimum age of up to five years as established by state law in any state), (ii) mergers of national and state banks after May 31, 1997 unless the home state of either bank has opted out of the interstate bank merger provision, (iii) branching de novo by national and state banks if the host state has opted-in to this provision of the Interstate Act, and (iv) certain bank agency activities after one year after enactment. The Interstate Act contains a 30% intrastate deposit cap, except for the initial acquisition in the state, restriction that applies to certain interstate acquisitions unless a different intrastate cap has been adopted by the applicable state pursuant to the provisions of the Interstate Act and a 10% national deposit cap restriction. Regulations have not yet been issued under the Interstate Act. A bill has been enacted by the Tennessee legislature which repeals the Tennessee Reciprocal Banking Act, amends the Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974, and amends Tennessee's bank branching laws by opting in to the Interstate Act. Management cannot predict the extent to which the business of the Company and the Bank may be affected. BROKERED DEPOSITS AND PASS-THROUGH INSURANCE The FDIC has adopted regulations under FDICIA governing the receipt of brokered deposits and pass-through insurance. Under the regulations, a bank cannot accept or rollover or renew brokered deposits unless (i) it is well capitalized or (ii) it is adequately capitalized and receives a waiver from the FDICIA. A bank that cannot receive brokered deposits also cannot offer "pass-through" insurance on certain employee benefit accounts. Whether or not it has obtained such a waiver, an adequately capitalized bank may not pay an interest rate on any deposits in excess of 75 basis points over certain index prevailing market rates specified by regulation. There are no such restrictions on a bank that is well capitalized. Because it believes that the Bank was well capitalized as of March 1, 1998, the Company believes the brokered deposits regulation will have not material effect on the funding or liquidity of the Bank. FDIC INSURANCE PREMIUMS The Bank is required to pay semiannual FDIC deposit insurance assessments. As required by FDICIA, the FDIC adopted a risk-based premium schedule which increased the assessment rates for most FDIC-insured depository institutions. Under the schedule, the premiums initially range from $.23 to $.31 for every $100 of deposits. Each financial institution is assigned to one of three capital groups -- well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized -- and further assigned to one of three subgroup within a capital group, on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary federal and, if applicable, state supervisors and other information relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the applicable FDIC deposit insurance fund. The actual assessment rate applicable to a particular institution will, therefore, depend in part upon the risk assessment classification so assigned to the institution by the FDIC. Recently the FDIC has passed a resolution to lower premiums. The Bank currently does not pay any premium on the insurance for its deposits. Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by a federal bank regulatory agency. - 19 - 20 DEPOSITOR PREFERENCE The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depositary institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver. EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES The Bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national money supply. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve are: purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities in the marketplace; changes in the discount rate, which is the rate any depository institution must pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve; and changes in the reserve requirements of depository institutions. These instruments are effective in influencing economic and monetary growth, interest rate levels and inflation. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System and other governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. Because of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money market, as well as the result of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, it is not possible to predict with certainty future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Company and the Bank or whether the changing economic conditions will have a positive or negative effect on operations and earnings. Bills are pending before the United States Congress and the Tennessee General Assembly which could affect the business of the Company and the Bank, and there are indications that other similar bills may be introduced in the future. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Company and the Bank subsidiaries may be affected thereby. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 1997, the Company had a total of 41 employees with 37 of those employed on a full-time basis. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Bank's main office is located at 210 East Main Street in Rogersville, Tennessee. The property consists of a masonry building with approximately 10,000 square feet, 7,500 square feet of which is used by the Bank. The Bank has a branch in Sneedville, Tennessee which is a masonry building of approximately 7,000 square feet, which is constructed on a half acre of land owned by the Bank. The Bank operates a third location as a branch in Church Hill. All facilities have improvements including drive-through tellers, vaults, night depository and certain facilities have safe deposit boxes. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or the Bank is a party or of which any of their properties are subject; nor are there material proceedings known to the Company to be contemplated by any governmental authority; nor are there material proceedings known to the Company, pending or contemplated, in which any director, officer or affiliate or any principal security holder of the Company, or any associate of any of the foregoing, is a party or has an interest adverse to the Company or the Bank. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None - 20 - 21 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company conducted public offering of its Common Stock in 1997 at a price of $15 per share (the "Offering"). There is no established public market for the shares. Management of the Company is aware that isolated transactions in the Common Stock occur from time to time. To the best of the knowledge of the Company the most recent transaction in the Common Stock was December 31, 1997 and was for the price of $15.00 per share. There were 480 holders of record of the Common Stock as of March 20, 1998. The Company currently intends to retain its earnings, if any, for use in the business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The board of directors cannot predict when such dividends, if any, will ever be made. The payment of dividends, if any, shall at all times be subject to the payment of the Company's expenses, the maintenance of reasonable working capital and risk reserves, and minimum capitalization requirements for state banks. The application by the Bank to establish an additional branch in Rogersville and a new branch in Church Hill, Tennessee was approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Institutions (the "DFI") subject to certain conditions including, among others, that the Bank will not be allowed to pay dividends to shareholders other than for the purpose of holding company debt reduction for a period of 2 years without prior written consent from the Commissioner of the DFI. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to provide the reader with a concise description of the financial condition and changes therein and results of operations of the Company and the Bank for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the audited financial statements and footnotes and the supplemental financial data and charts appearing elsewhere in this report, and should be read in conjunction therewith. This discussion and analysis will focus on the following major areas: Results of Operations, Financial Position, Capital Resources, Asset Quality, and Liquidity and Interest-Sensitivity. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for 1997 was $216,775 increasing $132,255 compared with net income of $84,520 for 1996. The Company's return on average assets was 0.31% for 1997 or 1.94 times the return on average assets of 0.16% for 1996. The Company's return on average equity improved to 6.09% for 1997 compared with 2.88% for 1996. The Company's net income for 1997 and 1996 were impacted by the following: -- The yield on average interest earnings assets was 8.64% for 1997 increasing 0.20% from 8.44% for 1996. -- Average earning assets increased $15,424,000 to $63,227,000 for 1997 compared to $47,803,000 for 1996. -- Yield on average interest bearing liabilities increased 0.06% from 5.29% in 1996 to 5.35% for 1997. -- Average interest bearing liabilities increased $14,916,000 to $57,437,000 for 1997 compared to $42,521,000 for 1996. - 21 - 22 -- Average interest earning assets to average total assets increased slightly from 90.56% for 1996 to 91.19% for 1997. -- Average interest bearing liabilities to average total assets increased from 80.55% for 1986 to 82.84% for 1997. As a result of the foregoing net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets increased from 3.73% for 1996 to 3.78% for 1997. Accordingly, net interest income for 1997 of $2,390,137 was only $607,008 greater than net interest income of $1,783,129 for 1997. Net interest income for 1997 was positively impacted by a decrease in interest expense of $26,000 on parent company only borrowings. Of this decrease of $26,000 approximately $14,000 was attributable to a decrease in average borrowings. Average parent company only borrowings were $3,281,000 for 1997 or a decrease of $169,000 compared to 1996 of $3,450,000. The remaining decrease of $12,000 was attributable to a decrease in the average rate on such outstanding borrowings from 8.41% for 1996 to 8.05% for 1997. The borrowing was incurred by the Company in order to increase the capital of its subsidiary bank. Without this borrowing, the Bank would not have had sufficient capital to permit the Bank to open branches in Rogersville and Church Hill. - 22 - 23 The following table indicates the average balance, interest income or expense, average interest rates earned or paid, interest rate spread, and interest margin for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Non-interest expense increased $310,722 from $1,723,418 for 1996 to $2,034,140 for 1997. However, non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets decreased by 0.33% from 3.26% in 1996 to 2.93% for 1997. - 23 - 24 The following table presents non-interest expense for 1997 compared to 1996 as a percentage of average assets and the changes therein (in thousands):
1997 1996 ---- ---- Increase % Increase % Average % Average (Decrease) (Decrease) Non-interest Expense Amount Assets Amount Assets 1997/1996 1997/1996 ------ ------ ------ ------ --------- --------- Salaries and employee $1,094 1.58% $976 1.85% $118 12.09% benefits Occupancy, net 160 0.23% 103 0.20% 57 55.34% Furniture and equipment 206 0.30% 142 0.27% 64 45.07% Directors fees 49 0.07% 49 0.09% 0 0.00% Advertising 59 0.09% 67 0.13% -8 -11.94% FDIC insurance 7 0.01% 2 0.004% 5 250.00% Office supplies 29 0.04% 30 0.06% -1 -3.33% Professional services 40 0.06% 85 0.16% -45 -52.94% Telephone 34 0.05% 29 0.05% 5 17.24% Postage and courier 84 0.12% 49 0.09% 35 71.43% Other 272 0.39% 192 0.36% 80 41.67% ------ ---- ------ ----- ---- ----- $2,034 2.93% $1,724 3.264% $310 17.98% ====== ==== ====== ===== ==== =====
Non-interest expenses increased 17.98% in absolute terms from 1996 to 1997 but decreased as a percentage of average total assets. The decrease is attributable to an expansion of the Company's asset base without a corresponding increase in non-interest expenses. Occupancy expense increased in 1997 by 55.34% primarily attributable to the opening of the Bank's new main office facilities in Rogersville in 1997. Non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets is expected to continue to decline as growth in Bank assets is expected to increase faster than the growth in non-interest expense. The provision for loan losses in 1997 was $215,000 or $115,000 greater than the provision for loan losses of $100,000 for 1996. The provision for loan losses is the amount management deems necessary to maintain a reserve for loan losses at a level sufficient to meet risks inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio. The level of the reserve is determined by management after considering ongoing reviews of the loan portfolio as well as considering the level and magnitude of non-performing assets and loan delinquencies, general economic conditions in the areas served by the Company, historic loan-loss experience, loan mix and the level of loans relative to reserves. Non-interest income increased $33,783 from $179,132 in 1996 to $212,915 in 1997. Income tax expense increased $82,814 from $54,323 in 1996 to $137,137 in 1997. FINANCIAL POSITION Company total assets grew 23.43% or $14.85 million during 1997 to $78.25 million at year end 1997 from $63.39 million at year end 1996. This growth is primarily attributable to growth of $14.45 million in deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements during 1996 to $70.30 million at year end 1997 from $55.85 million at year end 1996. Portfolio securities grew $3.07 million in 1997 to $18.19 million at year end 1997 from $15.12 million at year end 1997 while federal funds decreased $1.60 million during 1997. Loans increased $13.13 million during 1997 to $48.47 million at year end 1997 compared to $35.34 million at year end 1996. Of this growth real estate mortgage loans grew $9.36 million in 1997 and consumer loans grew $2.64 million in 1997. Real estate mortgage loans represented 67.59% of gross outstanding loans at year end 1997. Consumer loans represented 21.65% of gross outstanding loans at year end 1997. - 24 - 25 Deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements grew $14.45 million in 1997 from $55.85 million at year end 1996 to $70.30 million at year end 1997. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company's equity capital was $3.87 million at year end 1997 compared to $3.40 million at year end 1996. This increase of approximately $470,000 consists of the Company's net income for 1997 of $216,775, an increase in the unrealized gain net of tax on securities available for sale of $101,941, and the issuance of new common shares for the balance net of applicable expenses of sale of approximately $155,000. No dividends were paid by the Company during 1997 and the Company does not expect to pay dividends any time in the foreseeable future. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. The Bank is prohibited from paying any dividends, other than to service the parent company indebtedness, for two years from the opening of branches in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee (opened during 1996) without the prior written approval of the Commissioner of Financial Institution for the State of Tennessee. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had approximately $399,703 tangible capital in excess of the 8% Tier I leverage capital required to be maintained by State bank regulators during the three years subsequent to beginning operations in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Such excess tangible capital may be used to pay dividends from the Bank without prior regulatory approval but only if necessary to service parent company indebtedness in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness. The Bank has committed to State banking regulators, in connection with the approval to open branches during 1996 in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee that it would, among other things, maintain a Tier I capital plus loan loss reserve to asset ratio of not less than 10% during the first three years after approval. This condition was modified by State banking regulators on September 19, 1997 to require the Bank to maintain a Tier I leverage ratio of no less than 8% for the three years subsequent to commencing operation in Hawkins County, Tennessee. The actual Tier I leverage ratio maintained by the Bank was 8.75% and 10.26% on an end of period basis at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The actual tangible capital maintained by the Bank at December 31, 1997 and 1996 after the Rogersville and Church Hill branches were opened was $6,639 and $6,488 million, respectively, which was consistent with the approval regarding opening the branches. The Company is a "small one-bank holding company" within the meaning of regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Accordingly, the Company's capital compliance, for bank holding company purposes, will be measured solely with respect to the Bank and not on a consolidated basis. The Company has committed to State banking regulators that it would raise an additional $1 million of equity capital by October 28, 1996. At October 28, 1996 the Company had raised $1,070,137. Management believes, as of December 31, 1997, that the Bank and Company meet all capital requirements to which they are subject and that they are in compliance with all conditions and commitments to banking regulators regarding the approval and opening of branches in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee. However, events beyond the control of the Company, such as a downturn in the local economy, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of the Company to meet its future minimum capital requirements. The Bank would be considered "well capitalized" within the applicable regulatory capital guidelines at December 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY RESOURCES Liquidity management focuses on the need to meet both short-term funding requirements and long-term growth objectives. Primary sources for liquidity include deposits, loan repayments and security repayments or sales of available for sale securities. - 25 - 26 During 1997 the Company increased available for sale securities by $3.59 million from $13.52 million at year end 1996 to $17.11 million at year end 1997. ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The long-term profitability of the Company depends on properly priced products and services, asset quality and asset-liability management. Historically, the Company has had a mismatch between the maturities of its assets and liabilities because customers have traditionally preferred short-term deposits and longer-term loans. This mismatch makes the Company sensitive to changes in interest rates and the resulting effect on interest income and the market value of assets. The Company attempts to manage this mismatch and thus reduce its effect on earnings during periods of significant changes in interest rates. The strategies utilized by the Company include the origination of shorter-term fixed rate loans and adjustable rate loans or loans with call provisions. The Company also emphasizes checking accounts and other transaction accounts which management believes are less rate sensitive than certificate accounts. A traditional measure of interest rate sensitivity and its impact upon the next years earnings is the Company's one-year gap position (total assets subject to repricing less total liabilities subject to repricing). A negative one-year gap position generally exposes the Company's earnings to rising short term rates over the period and thus reduced net interest income because current liabilities reprice faster than current assets. However, this earnings exposure can be mitigated during the period if total asset growth is sufficient such that new assets are priced at relatively higher rates and new deposit maturities are extended. At December 31, 1997 the Company had a cumulative one year negative gap of (40.82%) or a net of $29.275 million in liabilities repricing faster than assets. While the one-year-gap measure helps provide some information about a financial institution's interest sensitivity, it does not predict the trends of future earnings. The Company's investment in derivatives at year end 1997 was $500,000 at cost. These two securities had an approximate market value at that time of $493,558. Both securities are "inverse floaters," maturing in 1998 and are the obligation of the Federal Home Loan Bank, a quasi-government agency. Ultimate collection of the par amount of the obligations is relatively risk free. However, until maturity, earnings will be impacted either positively or negatively depending upon the prevailing level of interest rates. In essence, an inverse floater generally earns more in a falling interest rate environment and earns less in a rising interest rate environment. At December 31, 1997 one of these securities was earning at 4.338% while the other was earning at 4.738%. Both securities have a par amount of $250,000. These securities were acquired by prior management during 1994 because of their then attractive yields and the then expectation that interest rates would continue falling or remain stable. Current management intends to hold these securities until maturity and has no present plans or intentions of investing in similar instruments in the future. ASSET QUALITY Non-performing and other loans past due 90 days or more were $256,636 at year end 1997 compared to $181,926 at year end 1996 representing an increase of $74,710. Non-performing loans as a percentage of net loans before the allowance for loan losses was 0.53% at year end 1997 and 0.51% at year end 1996. The reserve for loan losses to non-performing loans, which is a measure of the Bank's ability to cover problem assets with existing reserves, was 257.8% at year end 1997 and 251.4% at year end 1996. The Company had no material restructured loans in 1997 or 1996. The asset quality of the Company continues to be good which is a result of good underwriting standards coupled with aggressive collection efforts and a good local economy. EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. - 26 - 27 Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does the effect of inflation. In the current interest rate environment, the liquidity and maturity structures of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical to maintenance of acceptable performance levels. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Company does not expect the cost of converting its computer systems to year 2000 compliant software to be material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes it will achieve year 2000 compliance in a timely manner and does not anticipate any disruption in its operations as the result of any failure by the Company to be in compliance.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements F - 5 36 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of Volunteer Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the significant policies. a. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Citizens Bank of East Tennessee, formerly known as Citizens Bank of Sneedville, (the Bank), of which the Company owns 133,300 (100.0%) shares of the Bank's 133,300 issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock at December 31, 1997 and 1996. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. b. Investment Securities Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" requires investments in equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value and investments in debt securities to be classified into three categories, as follows: held to maturity debt securities, trading securities, and securities available for sale. Classification of a debt security as held to maturity is based on the Company's positive intent and ability to hold such security to maturity. Securities held to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, unless there is a decline in value which is considered to be other than temporary, in which case the cost basis of such security is written down to market and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading account securities, which are valued at market with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Gains or losses on sales and adjustments to market value of trading account securities are included in non-interest income in the income statements. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at market value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in a separate component of stockholders' equity and include all securities not classified as trading account securities or securities held to maturity. These include securities used as part of the Company's asset/liability strategy which may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase regulatory capital, and other similar factors. Gains or losses on sale of securities available for sale are recognized at the time of sale, based upon specific identification of the security sold, and are included in non-interest income in the income statements. F - 6 37 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income on investments is computed on the par value of the outstanding investment. Amortization of discounts and accretion of premiums is recorded as an adjustment to interest income utilizing the effective yield method. c. Loans, Less Allowance for Possible Loan Losses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors For Impairment Of A Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting By Creditors For Impairment Of A Loan - Income Recognition And Disclosures" state that an impaired loan is generally any loan, excluding certain homogeneous small balance credits such as credit card indebtedness, that is not performing in accordance with its contractual terms. SFAS No. 114 requires that impairment on a loan be measured by the difference between carrying value and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the collateral's value if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of a loan's impairment or changes therein require charges to earnings. SFAS No. 118 allows a creditor to use existing methods for the recognition of interest income on an impaired loan. SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and the Extinguishment of Liabilities," establishes, among other things, new criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets for cash or other considerations should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. There are certain criteria that must be met for the transfer to be recorded as a sale: The transferred assets have been isolated from the transferor - put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership. Each transferee obtains the right - free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right - to pledge or exchange the transferred assets. If these criteria are not met, the transfer must be recorded as a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also addresses repurchase agreements that might allow the transferor to maintain control over the transferred asset. If such an agreement exists, a transfer should be accounted for as a secured borrowing if (a) the assets to be repurchased are substantially the same, (b) they can be repurchased on substantially the agreed terms, (c) repurchase will occur before maturity at a fixed and determinable price, and (d) the agreement was entered into concurrently with the transfer. Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan losses. Unearned interest on loans, which relates principally to installment loans, is recognized by the sum of the months' digits method, which, in the current case, approximates the level yield method. Interest on all other loans is computed on the outstanding loan balance. The allowance method is used by the Company to provide for possible loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance for possible loan losses and all recoveries are credited to it. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the F - 7 38 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- collection of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The provision for possible loan losses charged to operating expense is the amount management considers necessary to bring the allowance to an adequate level based on past loan loss experience and other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such other factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for possible loan losses to outstanding loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to repay. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. d. Loan Fees Loan fees are credited to income at the time of loan origination. Direct origination costs for loans are charged to expenses when incurred. The results of using this accounting method do not differ materially from generally accepted accounting principles requiring the use of the level interest yield method. e. Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Gain or loss on items retired or otherwise disposed of is credited or charged to operations and cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements of premises and equipment are capitalized and those for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred. f. Other Real Estate Real estate acquired in foreclosure or in settlement of debt or repossessed in substance is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value less estimated costs to sell. Fair market value at the time of foreclosure or settlement of debt is based on a current appraisal of the property. Any reduction in carrying value to fair market value at the time the property is acquired is accounted for as a loan loss. Management evaluates the fair market value of individual properties in other real estate periodically and any subsequent write-downs of the carrying value of the properties are charged to losses on other real estate and credited directly to the carrying value of individual properties. F - 8 39 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If an individual property is in condition for use or sale at the time of foreclosure, any subsequent holding costs are included in expense as incurred. If an individual property is not in condition for use or sale at the time of foreclosure, completion and holding costs are capitalized until the property is in condition for use or sale. All legal fees and other direct costs incurred in foreclosure are expensed as incurred. g. Income Taxes The Company reports taxable income utilizing the cash method of accounting whereby expenses are recognized when paid and income is recognized when received. Deferred income taxes are provided on all significant timing differences between income determined for financial and tax reporting purposes principally related to the methods used to report income and expenses, depreciation, and the provision for possible loan losses. The Company and the Bank file consolidated income tax returns. Therefore, the provision arising from the operations of the Bank is payable to the Company as the amounts are utilized in the consolidated income tax returns. The amount due the Company at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $88,000 and $120,000, respectively. h. Goodwill The Company's acquisition during 1995 and 1994 of 18,360 shares of subsidiary Bank stock held by minority shareholders of the Bank was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and resulted in the recording of goodwill in the amount of $261,226. Total costs for the 18,360 shares amounted to $559,306. Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of the assets acquired of the subsidiary and is being amortized on the straight-line method over a 15 year life. i. Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
1997 1996 ---- ---- Cash and due from banks $2,583,690 $2,771,810 Federal funds sold 4,841,622 6,446,143 ------------------------------- $7,425,312 $9,217,953 ===============================
F - 9 40 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- j. Advertising Cost All advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Other advertising expense was $58,709 and $66,767 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. There was no direct-response advertising costs incurred for 1997 or 1996. k. Stock Based Compensation During 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." The Company utilizes the fair value method of determining compensation for stock based plans wherein compensation cost is measured at the grant date at fair value and is recognized over the service period. l. Risk Factors The Company's operations are affected by various risk factors, including interest-rate risk, credit risk, and risk from geographic concentrations of lending activities. Management attempts to manage interest-rate risk through various asset/liability management techniques designed to match maturities of assets and liabilities. Loan policies and administration are designed to provide assurance that loans will only be granted to credit-worthy borrowers, although credit losses are expected to occur because of subjective factors and factors beyond the control of the Company. In addition, most of the Company's lending activities are within the geographic area where it is located. As a result, the Company and its borrowers may be vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy. m. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to material change. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amount of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgements about information available to them at the time of their examination. F - 10 41 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31, 1997, the Bank had two Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt securities which are defined as being derivatives. Pertinent facts of each security are as follows: FHLB inverse floater, $250,000 par, final maturity September 2, 1998 was purchased on September 2, 1993 at par. The interest rate was fixed at 6.25% until September 9, 1994 at which time it is adjusted quarterly at 10% minus the three month dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a 10% cap and a -0-% floor. It is callable on any quarterly interest payment date at 100. The interest rate at December 31, 1997 was 4.338% and the approximate market value was $247,500. The interest rate at December 31, 1996 was 4.5% and the approximate market value was $250,000. FHLB inverse floater, $250,000 par, final maturity September 29, 1998 was purchased on September 29, 1993 at par. The interest rate was fixed at 6.25% until September 29, 1994 at which time it is adjusted quarterly at 10.5% minus the three month dollar LIBOR with an 8.25% cap and a -0-% floor. It is callable on any quarterly interest payment date at 100. The interest rate at December 31, 1997 was 4.738% and the approximate market value was $246,058. The interest rate at December 31, 1996 was 4.949% and the approximate market value was $243,800. Management has elected, based upon its intent and ability, to hold these derivative securities to maturity. These inverse floaters were acquired by prior management because of their then attractive yields with the expectation that interest rates would remain stable or continue falling. 3. Loans and Allowances for Possible Loan Losses The Bank makes commercial, consumer, and real estate loans to its customers, located principally within the Bank's primary markets, which consists of Hancock, Hawkins and surrounding counties. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon economic conditions within its primary markets. Loans are either secured or unsecured based upon the financial condition of the borrower. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrower; however, the Bank is exposed to risk of loss on loans due to a borrower's difficulties, which may arise from any number of factors including problems within the respective industry or economic conditions, including those within the Bank's primary market.

9. Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the accompanying balance sheet. The commitments and contingent liabilities may include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and litigation. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Most guarantees expire within one year with some having automatic one year renewals cancelable by the Company. The credit risk in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. F - 21 52 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table summaries the Company's significant commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31:
1997 1996 ---- ---- Commitments to extend credit $5,102,970 $4,004,362 Standby letters of credit 184,000 170,000 ------------------------------ $5,286,970 $4,174,362 ==============================
In the opinion of management, no material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary is anticipated as a result of these items. 10. Restricted Cash The Bank is required to maintain a minimum cash reserve with the Federal Reserve Bank and/or in vault cash. The minimum requirement at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $287,000 and $213,000, respectively. 11. Stockholder's Equity The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. The Bank is prohibited from paying any dividends, other than to service the parent company indebtedness, for two years from the opening of branches in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee (opened during 1996) without the prior written approval of the Commissioner of Financial Institution for the State of Tennessee. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had approximately $399,703 tangible capital in excess of the 8% Tier I leverage capital required to be maintained by State bank regulators during the three years subsequent to beginning operations in Hawkins County, Tennessee. Such excess tangible capital may be used to pay dividends from the Bank without prior regulatory approval but only if necessary to service parent company indebtedness in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness (note 6). 12. Regulatory Matters The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possible additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. The regulations require a bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weights, and other factors. F - 22 53 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier I capital as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier I and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). To be considered adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based, and total risk-based ratios as set forth in the table. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios, at December 31, are also presented in the tables below.

Bases solely upon the foregoing ratios the Bank would be considered "well capitalized" within applicable Federal banking regulatory guidelines. F - 22 54 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the Bank has committed to State banking regulators, in connection with the approval to open branches during 1996 in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee that it would, among other things, maintain a Tier I capital plus loan loss reserve to asset ratio of not less than 10% during the first three years after approval. This condition was modified by State banking regulators on September 19, 1997 to require the Bank to maintain a Tier I leverage ratio of no less than 8% for the three years subsequent to commencing operation in Hawkins County, Tennessee. The actual Tier I leverage ratio maintained by the Bank was 8.75% and 10.26% on an end of period basis at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The actual tangible capital maintained by the Bank at December 31, 1997 and 1996 after the Rogersville and Church Hill branches were opened was $6,639 and $6,488 million, respectively, which was consistent with the approval regarding opening the branches. The Company is a "small one-bank holding company" within the meaning of regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Accordingly, the Company's capital compliance, for bank holding company purposes, will be measured solely with respect to the Bank and not on a consolidated basis. The Company has committed to State banking regulators that it would raise an additional $1 million of equity capital by October 28, 1996. At October 28, 1996 the Company had raised $1,070,137. Management believes, as of December 31, 1997, that the Bank and Company meet all capital requirements to which they are subject and that they are in compliance with all conditions and commitments to banking regulators regarding the approval and opening of branches in Rogersville and Church Hill, Tennessee. However, events beyond the control of the Company, such as a downturn in the local economy, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of the Company to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

F - 27 58 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and Federal funds sold: For these short-term instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Investments: Fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Loans, net The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current rates at which similar fixed rate loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The carrying value of variable rate loans is assumed to approximate fair value. Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, IRAs, savings accounts and NOW and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-rate-maturity certificates of deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities using a discounted cash flow method. Securities sold under repurchase agreements: The fair value of fixed-rate term securities sold under repurchase agreements is estimated using the rates currently in effect offered for repurchase agreements of similar remaining maturities using a discounted cash flow method. Long-term debt: Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt using a discounted cash flow method. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated by considering the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers current level of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements. For this caption, the "carrying amount" represents the accrual or deferred income (fees) arising from the related unrecognized financial instruments. F - 28 59 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. Profit-Sharing Plan The Company's subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of East Tennessee, adopted a profit-sharing retirement plan on July 1, 1996. All employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate on a voluntary basis. Benefits, which become 20% vested after two years, 40% after three years, 60% after four years, 80% after five years, and 100% after six years, are paid on death, disability or retirement. The Board of Directors has discretion in establishing the amount of the Bank's contributions to the plan, if any. Participants may make voluntary, after-tax contributions up to 20% of their compensation up to $9,500 per year. The participants are fully vested in any voluntary contributions they make. The Bank did not made any contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. 16. Stock Based Employee Compensation On December 31, 1997, the Company awarded each full time employee 20 shares of the Company's voting common stock as a bonus for past services. The awarded shares are fully vested and were awarded without any restrictions. In the aggregate, 740 shares were awarded to employees and compensation expenses based upon the fair value of $15.00 per share was recognized in the aggregate amount of $11,100. There is no obligation or commitment on behalf of the Company to award any shares of its common stock to employees in the future. 17. Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the book value of the securities sold under repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, was $1,250,069 and $488,854, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding during 1997 and 1996 was $1,217,588 and $428,804, respectively. The daily average of outstanding agreements during 1997 and 1996 was $708,385 and $315,006, respectively. The securities underlying the agreements are maintained under the Bank's control. 18. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 1996 financial statements in order to conform with the presentation of the December 31, 1997 financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1997 and 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment to Statement No. 65" ("SFAS No. 122"), on May 12, 1995. SFAS No. 122 provides guidance for recognition of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") as an asset when a mortgage loan is sold or securitized and servicing rights retained, regardless of how those servicing rights were acquired. This eliminates the previously existing accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination activities and those acquired through purchase transactions. Impairment of the recorded MSR is to be measured periodically using a current fair value approach applied to each stratum of the disaggregated mortgage-servicing portfolio. Provisions of SFAS No. 122 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not have a material impact upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company. SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and the Extinguishment of Liabilities," establishes, among other things, new criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets in exchange for cash and other consideration should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 also establishes new accounting requirements for pledged collateral. As issued, SFAS No.125 is generally effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996 and should be applied on a prospective basis. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 122 and itself amends various previous pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Adoption by the Company on January 1, 1997 did not have a material impact upon the Company's earnings or financial position. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 addresses situations where information indicates that a company might be unable to recover, through future operations or sale, the carrying amount of long-lived assets, identified intangibles and goodwill related to those assets. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact upon the financial position or results of operation of the Company. F - 30 61 VOLUNTEER BANCORP, INC.
