Recent Developments:
Merger with FB Financial Corporation
On January 21, 2020, the Company announced a strategic merger with FB Financial
Corporation that is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, with an
anticipated closing date of August 15, 2020.
COVID-19 and the CARES Act
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic and social disruption on an
unprecedented scale. While some industries have been impacted more severely than
others, all businesses have been impacted to some degree. This disruption has
resulted in the temporary, and in some cases permanent, shutting of businesses
across the country, significant job loss, and aggressive measures by the
government at the federal, state and local levels. The outbreak of COVID-19 has
adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company's customers
operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to
the Company. During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization
declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public
commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed
with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the
pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has
disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company
operates. The pandemic and its adverse consequences continued throughout the
second quarter of 2020 and will likely present significant economic risks for at
least the next several quarters. While there has been no material impact to the
Company's employees to date, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread
business continuity issues for the Company.

The United States Congress, the President of the United States, and the Federal
Reserve have taken a multitude of actions designed to cushion the economic
fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 as a
$2.2 trillion legislative relief package. The goal of the CARES Act is to limit
the impact of a potentially severe economic downturn through various measures,
including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to
significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive
emergency funding for hospitals and medical providers. In addition to the
general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other
recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts, together with the proposed
and/or pending legislature and regulatory actions, are expected to have a
material impact on our operations. It is not possible to know at this time the
full universe or extent of these impacts as of the date this filing, but such
impacts could be material and adverse.

Financial position and results of operations



Pertaining to our June 30, 2020 financial condition and results of operations,
COVID-19 had an impact on our allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL"), and
the resulting provision for loan losses was impacted by changes in economic
conditions. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further
increases in our ALLL and record additional provision expense. The execution of
the payment deferral program discussed below assisted our ratio of past due
loans to total loans. It is possible that our asset quality measures could
worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Our fee income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from
regulators, we continue to work with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees
from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and
overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in
fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length
of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, we are unable to
project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the
economic impact is likely to impact our fee income in future periods.

Our interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance
from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to
defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still
accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses
on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued may need to
be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be
negatively impacted. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of
such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact may affect our
borrowers' ability to repay in future periods.

In an agreement with a third party provider, we sold substantially all of our
SBA PPP loan portfolio that were originated and funded during the first and
second quarter of 2020. This transaction allowed us to immediately recognize the
origination fees paid by the SBA during the second quarter of 2020. We no longer
retain the servicing or other risks associated with the administration of this
transferred loan portfolio.

Capital and liquidity

As of June 30, 2020, all of our capital ratios, and our subsidiary bank's
capital ratios, were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe
that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession
brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be
adversely impacted by further credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as
dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital
deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for
an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets
have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been
volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could
have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession
caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might
become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation



As of June 30, 2020, following a thorough analysis and testing for goodwill
impairment, management has determined that our goodwill was not impaired. It is
possible that subsequent impacts of COVID-19 could cause the occurrence of what
management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain
circumstances, cause us to perform a subsequent goodwill impairment test and
result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that
we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge
for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge
would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. At June 30, 2020
we had goodwill of $18,176, representing approximately 4.3% of equity.

Our processes, controls and business continuity plan



We implemented our business continuity plans in the aftermath of the early March
2020 tornadoes that severely impacted communities across Middle Tennessee and as
COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. Shortly after invoking those plans, we
deployed a successful remote working strategy, provided timely communication to
employees and customers, implemented protocols for employee safety, and
initiated strategies for monitoring and responding to local COVID-19 impacts -
including customer relief efforts. Our preparedness efforts, coupled with quick
and decisive plan implementation, resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a
result of COVID-19. Prior technology planning resulted in the successful
deployment of the majority of our operational teams to a remote environment.
These strategies and plans have continued through the second quarter and into
the third quarter 2020. Due to the nature of their functions, a portion of our
employees continue to operate from physical Company locations, while effectively
employing social distancing standards. As of June 30, 2020, more than 50% of the
Company's 309 employees continued to work remotely. As our local communities
begin to gradually lift workplace and social distancing restrictions, the
Company plans to slowly bring employees back to their physical workplaces, in a
conservative and methodical phased approach.

To achieve implementation of the remote working strategy, throughout the
duration of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, we did not incur significant costs
to effectively provide for proper equipment to team members who were required to
work remotely. We do not anticipate incurring material costs related to our
continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or
internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date as a result of
the pandemic. To prepare for potential staffing shortages resulting from an
anticipated peak in COVID-19 cases, we have assessed critical team members and
determined that appropriate contingency and succession plans are in place to
ensure continued operations. Our COVID-19 Response Team continues to meet
regularly to anticipate and respond to any future COVID-19 interruptions or
developments. We do not anticipate significant challenges to our ability to
maintain our systems and controls in light of the measures we have taken to
prevent the spread of COVID-19. We do not currently face any material resource
constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers



In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this
unprecedented situation, we are executing a payment deferral program for our
commercial lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic.
Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring
either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for
typically 90 days.

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of     Contents
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 437 loans with outstanding loan balances of
$730,696 that were on temporary loan payment deferral, in accordance with the
COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act. As of July 31, 2020, we had
approximately 305 loans with a balance of approximately $478,000 that had
returned to regular payment status, and we had approximately 101 loans with a
balance of approximately $253,000 that remained on a temporary payment deferral
program. In accordance with the interagency guidance issued during the period
ended June 30, 2020, these short-term deferrals are not considered TDRs.

Credit



The Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for
loan and lease losses and record additional loan loss provision expense should
economic conditions worsen. It is possible that our asset quality measures could
worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

While all industries have and will continue to experience adverse impacts as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had exposures (loans held for investment and
commitments to lend) in the following loan categories considered to be "at-risk"
of significant impact as of June 30, 2020. Our exposure to the retail industry
at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately $253,151, or 9.1% of total loans HFI.
Our exposure to the health care industry at June 30, 2020 equated to $345,376,
or 12.4% of total loans HFI. We have approximately 8.2% of the loans in the
health care industry segment risk rated as substandard or worse. Our exposure to
hotels at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately $143,879, or 5.1% of total
loans HFI. Our exposure to restaurants at June 30, 2020 equated to approximately
$77,636, or 2.8% of total loans HFI. At June 30, 2020, our exposure to the
transportation and warehousing industry was $27,236, or 1.0% of total loans HFI.
These "at-risk" loan categories as of June 30, 2020 totaled $847,278, or 30.3%
of total loans HFI.

We are committed to assisting our customers and communities in this time of
need. As of August 3, 2020, the Bank was utilizing all of its fifteen branches
per normal operating procedures, except that nine of its fifteen branches were
available to customers on a drive-thru basis or by appointment only. Further, we
also continue to temporarily reduce, suspend, or eliminate certain fees for
customers eligible for relief under regulatory guidance who have been adversely
affected, and we have temporarily suspended adverse credit bureau reporting for
customers eligible for such relief under applicable regulatory guidelines.

We continue to serve our customers through our branch and drive-thru operations,
as well as through the use of our mobile banking operations, all of which are
supported by our Customer Call Center, which has operated under extended hours
during the pandemic. We have been able to conduct the vast majority of customer
business with minimal disruption to date, and our bankers and entire customer
service team are proactively and successfully managing the volume of customer
requests and issues.

The Company continues to monitor the safety of our employees, customers and communities. At this time, our staffing is adequate to address the requests for time off by any of our employees who are impacted by health or child care issues.



Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
conform to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on
available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual
results could differ.
Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.
Accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated
financial statements (unaudited) which begins on page 11. The critical
accounting policies require judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets,
liabilities, commitments and contingencies. Management has established policies
and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well
controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the
policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing
methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief summary
of the more significant policies.
Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL)
The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan
losses are charged against the allowance when management believes a loan balance
has become uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan
loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about
specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic
conditions, and other factors.
Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire
allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be
charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan
is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that
we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms
of the loan. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a
concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties,
are considered troubled debt restructurings ("TDR" or "TDRs") and classified as
impaired.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment
status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal
and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment
delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the
reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of
the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
All loans classified by management as substandard or worse are individually
evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is
allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated
future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of
collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
                                       40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of     Contents
TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at
the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective rate
at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan
is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that
subsequently default, we determine the amount of reserve in accordance with the
accounting policy for the ALLL.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is
determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Bank's loss
history and loss history from the Bank's peer group over the past three years.
This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based
on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include
consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and
impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in
volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and
underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and
practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other
relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry
conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.
Goodwill
Due to the estimation process and the potential materiality of the amounts
involved, the Company has also identified the accounting for goodwill as an
accounting policy critical to our consolidated financial statements. Goodwill is
determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred,
plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the
fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the
acquisition date. Goodwill acquired in a business combination has an indefinite
useful life and is not systematically amortized. On at least an annual basis,
with the annual evaluation occurring on December 31 of each year, goodwill is
evaluated for impairment. The Company has only one reporting unit with $18,176
in goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit were ever to exceed its
fair value, the Company would determine whether the implied fair value of the
goodwill, using a discounted cash flow analysis, exceeded the carrying value of
the goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair
value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recorded in an amount equal
to that excess, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. Performing such a
discounted cash flow analysis would involve the significant use of estimates and
assumptions. In our 2019 goodwill impairment evaluation, we concluded that the
goodwill was not impaired. Additionally, during the period ended June 30, 2020,
the economic turmoil and market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 crisis
resulted in a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization.
Management believed such decrease was a triggering indicator requiring an
interim goodwill impairment quantitative analysis. In this analysis, the Company
determined that none of its goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2020.
Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting
periods for applicable changes. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an
indefinite life on the balance sheet.

Status of New Accounting Standard for Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, became effective
for the Company which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology
for loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment with a methodology that
reflects management's best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and
requires consideration of reasonable and supportable economic forecasts to
develop a lifetime credit loss estimate. Topic 326 requires additional
qualitative and quantitative disclosure to allow users to better understand the
credit risk within the portfolio and the methodologies for determining the ACL.
The CECL standard also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit
impaired loans. Additionally, Topic 326 requires expected credit losses on AFS
debt securities be recorded as an ACL. For certain types of debt securities,
such as U.S. Treasuries and other securities with government guarantees,
entities may expect zero credit losses.

In accordance with Section 4014 of the CARES Act that was signed into law on
March 27, 2020, we deferred implementation of CECL and thus elected to continue
to utilize the ILM to calculate loan loss reserves as of June 30, 2020.

The temporary deferral of CECL will remain effective until the earlier of the
termination of the national emergency declaration concerning the COVID-19
pandemic or December 31, 2020, with an effective retrospective implementation
date of January 1, 2020. There is increased uncertainty on the local, regional,
and national economy as a result of local and state stay-at-home orders, as well
as relief measures provided at a national, state, and local level. We have taken
actions to mitigate the impact on credit losses including permitting short-term
payment deferrals to current customers, as well as actively participating in the
SBA's PPP. These conditions significantly impact management's determination of a
reasonable and supportable forecast, an essential requirement in the calculation
of expected credit losses under CECL methodology. We believe that the deferral
will provide time to better assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
expected lifetime credit losses, and as such, our allowance for loan losses and
provision should not be compared to those under a different accounting method
(e.g., CECL).

Our CECL implementation efforts will remain in process in order to adequately
comply with the provisions of CECL once the deferral period ceases. Management
will continue to measure and monitor the estimated impacts of CECL adoption
through continued parallel testing of model simulations based on our portfolio
composition and current expectations of future economic conditions.

Prior to the CARES Act being signed and our decision to delay the implementation
of CECL, we were completing our CECL implementation plan, under the direction of
our Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and
Controller. The working group also included individuals from various functional
areas including credit, risk management, accounting and information technology,
among others. Our implementation plan included assessment and documentation of
processes, internal controls and data sources; model development, documentation
and validation; Board approval of a CECL Policy; and system configuration, among
other things. Additionally, a third-party vendor remains under contract to
assist us in the implementation of CECL.

We are unable as of the date of this report to provide an estimate of our allowance for loan losses under the CECL model as of June 30, 2020 and the provision for loan losses for the six months then ended.

                    COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
                 THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 and 2019
                         (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Overview
The Company's net income was $10,182 and $9,034 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $5,181 and $8,083 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $5,001 quarter-over-quarter
and an increase of $951 year-over-year. After earnings attributable to
noncontrolling interest, the Company's net earnings available to common
shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,174 and
$9,026, respectively, compared to $5,173 and $8,075 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders
increased by $5,001 and $951 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,
respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The
increase in net income was primarily related to a decrease of $15,762 and $9,802
in interest expense paid when comparing the same three and six month periods.
Net Interest Income Margin (NIM)
Net interest income consists of interest income generated by earning-assets less
interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities and is the most
significant component of our revenues. Net interest income for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $29,528 and $56,992, respectively, compared
to $27,365 and $54,785 for the same periods in 2019, an increase of $2,163 and
$2,207, between the respective periods.
The net interest margin was 3.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a 42
basis point increase quarter-over-quarter, and a 32 basis point increase
year-over-year. The current increase was primarily driven by the accelerated
loan fees due to the third party PPP loan sale, which contributed 13 basis
points to the NIM. Excluding the recognition of $1,491 of PPP loan fees, NIM
would have been 3.13%.
Tax-equivalent interest income was $40,314 and $82,458 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2020, when compared to $48,009 and $96,067 for the same
periods last year, a decrease of 16.0% and 14.2%. The yield on average interest
earning assets, adjusted for tax equivalent yield, decreased 51 and 39 basis
points to 4.38% and 4.46% when comparing the three and six months ended June 30,
2020 to the same periods during 2019. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020, the tax equivalent yield on loans held for investment was 5.10%
and 5.15%, compared to 5.61% and 5.61% during the same periods in 2019. The
primary driver for the decrease in yields on loans was the decrease in market
interest rates when compared to the same periods in the previous year.
Interest-earning assets averaged $3,701,515 and $3,940,266 during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $238,751, or
6.1%. Interest-earning assets averaged $3,714,179 and $3,991,961 during the six
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $277,782, or
7.0%. These decreases were due to the strategically planned asset rotation and
decrease in the total investment securities during 2019 and 2020. Average
investment securities decreased $355,218 and $417,465, or decreased 40.3% and
42.1%, and average loans held for investment increased $11,512 and $40,242 or
0.4% and 1.4% when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 with
the same periods in 2019.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $2,950,106 and $3,340,033 during the three
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $389,927, or
11.7%. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $3,013,187 and $3,416,223 during
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of
$403,036, or 11.8%. Total average money market deposits increased $302,348 and
$275,204, respectively, or 29.5% and 27.3%, respectively for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same periods during 2019.
Average FHLB advances decreased $208,282 and $219,305, or decreases of 59.6% and
61.2%, respectively when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
with the same periods in 2019 as a result of the organic growth in the loan
portfolio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the cost
of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 101 and 74 basis points,
respectively to 1.40% from 2.41% comparing three month periods and to 1.63% from
2.37% comparing six month periods.
Total non-interest deposits averaged $455,540, an increase of $142,436, or
45.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period
during 2019. Total non-interest deposits averaged $394,712, an increase of
$92,512, or 30.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the
same period during 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to
establish an ALLL that, in management's evaluation, should be adequate to
provide coverage for the probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and is decreased by
charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.
The provision for loan losses was $3,195 and $7,031 for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $16,217 and $12,086 for the six months
ended June 30, 2020, and 2019. The loan loss provision of $3,195 recorded for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 was mostly due to increased quantitative
loss factors, as well as an increase in qualitative risk factors due to
COVID-19. When combined with the cumulative $32,000 in loan loss provisions
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, and netted
against the cumulative $23,600 in net charge-offs recorded in the fourth quarter
of 2019 through the second quarter of 2020, the $3,195 loan loss provision
recorded for the second quarter of 2020 resulted in a net ALLL build of
approximately $11,600, or an increase of approximately 43.9% since the third
quarter of 2019.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,555
and $16,448 compared to $4,923 and $8,410 for the same periods in 2019,
respectively. The $5,632 quarter-over-quarter increase during the second quarter
of 2020 and the $8,038 increase during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was
primarily the result of strong mortgage banking revenue, driven by a combination
of historically low interest rates, strong origination pipelines and team, as
well as favorable secondary market execution and pricing during the quarter.

Mortgage banking revenue increased $6,215 and $7,228, or 251.3% and 174.4% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in
2019. The increase was due to the volume of mortgage loans originated, the sales
related to those loans and more favorable market rates in 2020, which resulted
in favorable fair value adjustments on mortgage derivatives. The Federal Reserve
increased rates 100 basis points in 2018 but then decreased rates 75 basis
points during the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and then decreased rates by
an additional 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2020, resulting in a
current target rate range of zero to 25 basis points at the end of June 30,
2020.
Gain (loss) on sale or call of securities decreased $201 for the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and increased $1,045 for the six months ended June 30, 2020,
when compared with the same periods in 2019. The decrease and increase was due
to the Company's election to sell certain securities to take advantage of the
market conditions that existed during that period, at which time, management
elected to sell certain of its securities as part of its balance sheet
management initiatives.
Net loss on sale of loans was $375 and $574 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. The loss for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2020 was attributed to sales of the PPP loans to a
third party during the second quarter of 2020 and sales of SNC loans during the
first quarter of 2020.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
to $23,976 and $46,397 from $19,370 and $41,986 for the same periods in 2019.
The increases were the result of the following components listed in the table

$1,234, or 4.7%, respectively, while professional fees increased $3,417, or
171.2% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2020 with the same period in
2019. These variations are attributable to employee-related adjustments and
professional fees occurring due to our upcoming strategic merger with FB
Financial Corporation expected to close in third quarter 2020, with an
anticipated closing date of August 15, 2020.
Income Tax Expense
We recognized income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
2020 of $2,730 and $1,792 compared to an income tax expense of $706 and $1,040
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Our quarter-to-date income tax
expense for the period ended June 30, 2020 reflects an effective income tax rate
of 21.1% which is an increase compared to 12.0% for the same period in 2019. Our
year-to-date income tax expense for the period ended June 30, 2020 reflects an
effective income tax rate of 16.6% which is an increase compared to 11.4% for
the same period in 2019. The primary drivers are from pre-tax income increasing
7,025 and $1,703 compared to the same periods in 2019 as a result of recognizing
a decrease in provision for loan losses of 3,836 for the three months ended June
30, 2020 when compared to the same periods in 2019, and recognizing an increase
in provision for loan losses of $4,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2020
when compared to the same periods in 2019.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2020 and DECEMBER 31, 2019


                         (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

Overview


Our total assets decreased by $120,421, or a 12.4% annualized rate, from
December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The decrease in total assets has primarily
been the result of the continued balance sheet rotation and optimization
strategies and the planned sales of investment securities during the twelve
months between June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and a planned offset by organic
growth in the loan portfolio.
Loans
Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest
income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the
largest component of earning assets, and therefore generates the largest portion
of revenues. For purposes of the discussion in this section, the term "loans"
refers to loans, excluding loans held for sale, unless otherwise noted.
The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning
assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected
to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Total loans,
net of deferred fees, at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $2,794,768 and
$2,812,444, respectively, a decrease of $17,676 or a decrease of 2.5%
annualized. As a percentage of total assets, total loans, net of deferred fees,
at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 74.0% and 72.2%, respectively. The
decrease in the loans HFI is primarily due to the continued reduction in the
Institutional loan portfolio that occurred during the second quarter of 2020.
The table below provides a summary of the loan portfolio composition for the
periods noted.

Real estate loans comprised 81.3% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2020. The
largest portion of the real estate segments as of June 30, 2020, was commercial
real estate loans, which totaled 44.7% of real estate loans. Commercial real
estate loans totaled $1,017,429 at June 30, 2020, and comprised 36.3% of the
total loan portfolio. The commercial real estate loan classification primarily
includes commercial-based mortgage loans that are secured by nonfarm,
nonresidential real estate properties and other properties.
Construction and land development loans totaled $645,281 at June 30, 2020, and
comprised 28.4% of total real estate loans and 23.1% of the total loan
portfolio. Loans in this classification provide financing for the construction
and development of residential properties and commercial income properties,
multi-family residential development, and land designated for future
development. This portfolio has remained steady in absolute dollar terms since
2017, representing a lower corresponding portion of the loan portfolio.
The residential real estate classification primarily includes 1-4 family
residential loans which are typically conventional first-lien home mortgages,
not including loans held-for-sale in the secondary market, and it also includes
home equity lines of credit

and other junior lien mortgage loans. Residential real estate loans totaled
$611,532 and comprised 26.9% of real estate loans and 21.9% of total loans at
June 30, 2020.
Commercial and industrial loans totaled $520,413 at June 30, 2020. Loans in this
classification comprised 18.6% of total loans at June 30, 2020. The commercial
and industrial classification consists of commercial loans to small-to-medium
sized businesses, shared national credits, and commercial healthcare loans.
This net loan decline for the second quarter of 2020 was driven partly by the
$5,924 linked-quarter reduction in the SNC portfolio to a balance of $99,602,
representing a 56.9% year-over-year and 22.6% annualized linked-quarter
decrease. This is the lowest SNC balance held by the Company during the last six
quarters, representing 3.6% of loans HFI, which is almost half of the Company's
concentration of 9.3% of loans HFI at the peak of the SNC portfolio at December
31, 2018. Non-SNC loan decline in the second quarter was $11,752, representing
an annualized decline of 1.7% from the first quarter of 2020 and is primarily
due to the second quarter continued Institutional loan portfolio reduction. At
June 30, 2020, the Company estimates approximately $294,290, or approximately
41%, of the $727,036 unused lines of credit are available to be drawn by
customers without further approval by the Bank.

The information presented in the above table is based upon the contractual
maturities of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to
renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to
review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their
maturity. Consequently, management believes this treatment presents fairly the
maturity structure of the loan portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL)
The Company maintains an ALLL that management believes is adequate to absorb the
probable incurred losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. The allowance
is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and is decreased
by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. The
level of the allowance is determined on a quarterly
                                       52

basis, although management is engaged in monitoring the adequacy of the
allowance on a more frequent basis. In estimating the allowance balance, the
following factors are considered:
•past loan experience;
•the nature and volume of the portfolio;
•risks known about specific borrowers;
•underlying estimated values of collateral securing loans;
•current and anticipated economic conditions; and
•other factors which may affect the allowance for probable incurred losses.
The ALLL consists of two primary components: (1) a specific component which
relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired; and (2) a general
component which covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is
determined by portfolio segment and is based on a combination of the Company's
loss history and loss history from peer group data over the past three years.
This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on
the risks present for each portfolio segment.
The following loan portfolio segments have been identified: (1) Construction and
land development loans; (2) Commercial real estate loans; (3) Residential real
estate loans; (4) Commercial and industrial loans; and (5) Consumer and other
loans. Management evaluates the risks associated with these segments based upon
specific characteristics associated with the loan segments. These risk
characteristics include, but are not limited to, the value of the underlying
collateral, adverse economic conditions and the borrower's cash flow. While the
total allowance consists of a specific portion and a general portion, both
portions of the allowance are available to provide for probable incurred loan
losses in the entire portfolio.
In the table below, the components, as discussed above, of the ALLL are shown at
June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(1) HFI loan balance is before net deferred loan fees and costs. (2) Acquired loans are performing loans recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date. Based on the analysis performed by management as of June 30, 2020, $71 in ALLL was recorded at June 30, 2020 related to the loans acquired.





At June 30, 2020, the ALLL was $38,100, compared to $45,436 at December 31,
2019. The ALLL as a percentage of total loans HFI was 1.36% at June 30, 2020 and
1.61% at December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's total
non-performing assets ("NPAs") were 0.65% of assets, or $24,433, a decrease of
approximately $3,256 from December 31, 2019. The NPA/ALLL coverage ratio was
1.56 at June 30, 2020, a decrease of 8 basis points from the 1.64 coverage
present at December 31, 2019. Criticized and Classified Assets were $50,683 at
June 30, 2020, representing 1.81% of loans HFI, consistent with 1.86% of loans
HFI at December 31, 2019.

Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets,
amounted to $17,914, or 0.64% of total loans held for investment at June 30,
2020, compared to $22,228, or 0.79% of total loans held for investment at
December 31, 2019. Potential problem loans represent those loans where
information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to
have doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms.
This definition is for substandard loans, which are still accruing interest and
excluding the impact of substandard nonaccrual loans. The Company also monitors
the aging of loans less than 90 days past due and the loans that have been
deferred under the Company's COVID-19 related payment deferral program as
reported in Notes 1 and 3 in the Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Nonperforming Assets
Non-performing loans consist of non-accrual loans and loans that are past due 90
days or more and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of
non-performing loans plus foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on
non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days and/or management believes the
borrower's financial condition, after giving consideration to economic
conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is
doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease,
and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. The
interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, or cost-recovery
method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual
status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought
current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The primary component of non-performing loans is non-accrual loans, which as of
June 30, 2020 totaled $24,433. At June 30, 2020, there were no loans past due
greater than 90 days and still accruing interest which is the other component of

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets
The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the Company with
adequate liquidity and a source of stable income. The portfolio is structured
with minimal credit exposure to the Company and consists of securities
classified as AFS. All AFS securities are carried at fair value and may be used
for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in the Company's best
interest. Securities AFS, consisting primarily of mortgage-backed securities,
totaled $503,877 at June 30, 2020, compared to $652,132 at December 31, 2019, a
decrease of $148,255, or 22.7%. The decrease in AFS securities was primarily
attributed to security sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
There were no HTM securities at June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019.
The Company also had other investments of $24,110 and $24,802 at June 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019, respectively, primarily consisting of capital stock in
the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank required as members of the
Federal Reserve Bank System ("FRB") and the Federal Home Loan Bank System
("FHLB"). The FHLB and FRB investments are "restricted" in that they can only be
sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par,
and are thus, not liquid, have no ready market or quoted market value, and are
carried at cost.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment totaled $47,305 at June 30, 2020 compared to $12,141
at December 31, 2019, an increase of $35,164, due to the purchase of the
properties at Columbia Avenue and 120 9th Avenue locations in Franklin,
Tennessee, therefore ending the lease agreements by the Company on February 5,
2020. In May 2020, the Company was notified that the landlord of an office space
located in Williamson County had sold the property, therefore, terminating the
lease. One branch in Williamson County, Tennessee plans to relocate to another
leased facility within the same general area.
Deposits
At June 30, 2020, total deposits were $3,143,259, a decrease of $64,325, or 8.1%
annualized, compared to $3,207,584 at December 31, 2019. Included in the
Company's funding strategy are brokered deposits, public funds deposits and
reciprocal deposits. Total brokered deposits decreased $225,782, or 143.6%
annualized, to $406,459 at June 30, 2020, when compared with $632,241 at
December 31, 2019, which reflects the Company's strategy to reduce its
dependence on non-core funding. Public funds deposits decreased $157,218, or
163.4% annualized, to $229,685 at June 30, 2020 when compared with $386,903

at December 31, 2019 due to the Company's strategy to redirect some of the
Company's local government customers into the reciprocal account relationships,
thereby decreasing the Company's requirements to collateralize those public
funds deposits. As a result, reciprocal deposits increased $96,434, or 80.5%
annualized, to $578,175 at June 30, 2020, compared to $481,741 at December 31,
2019.
Time deposits, excluding brokered deposits and public funds, as of June 30,
2020, were $379,879, compared to $399,258 as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of
$19,379, or 19.5% annualized.

Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements
The Company had no federal funds purchased from correspondent banks or
repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The Company has established a line of credit with the FHLB of Cincinnati which
is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages and home
equity lines of credit. At June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019 advances
totaled $100,000 and $155,000, respectively, and the scheduled maturities and
interest rates of these advances were as follows:

Subordinated Notes
At June 30, 2020, the Company's subordinated notes, net of issuance costs,
totaled $58,961 compared with $58,872 at December 31, 2019. For more information
related to the subordinated notes and the related issuance costs, please see
Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for
funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and
on a timely basis.
Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the
appropriate duration and rate-based liabilities, as well as the risk of not
being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are
necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet
current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments, lease
obligations, and unexpected deposit outflows. In this process, management
focuses on both assets and liabilities and on the manner in which they combine
to provide adequate liquidity to meet the Company's needs. Our source of funds
to pay interest on our March 2016 Subordinated Notes and June 2016 Subordinated
Notes is generally in the form of a dividend from the Bank to the Company, or
those payments may be serviced from cash balances held by the Company. The
Bank's ability to pay a dividend may be restricted due to regulatory
requirements as well as the Bank's future earnings and capital needs.
Funds are available from a number of basic banking activity sources including
the core deposit base, the repayment and maturity of loans, payments of
principal and interest as well as sales of investments classified as AFS, and
sales of brokered deposits. As of June 30, 2020, $503,877 of the investment
securities portfolio was classified as AFS and is reported at fair value on the
consolidated balance sheet. Approximately $283,970 of the total $503,877
investment securities portfolio on hand at June 30, 2020 was pledged to secure
public deposits and repurchase agreements. Other funding sources available
include

repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank.
Equity
As of June 30, 2020, the Company's equity was $422,063, as compared with
$410,426 as of December 31, 2019. The $11,637 increase in equity was mainly
driven by the Company's net income of $10,174 in the three months ended June 30,
2020.
On January 23, 2019, our board of directors announced they had authorized a
share repurchase program for up to $30,000 of our outstanding common stock. The
repurchase program expired on January 23, 2020, and no additional shares were
purchased after December 31, 2019.
Effects on Inflation and Changing Prices
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change
in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. 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 the performance of a financial
institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in
increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects financial institutions'
increased cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and
benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases
in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans
held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders' equity.
Commercial and other loan originations and refinancing tend to slow as interest
rates increase, and can reduce the Company's earnings from such activities.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company generally does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements other
than unused lines of credit, outstanding standby letters of credit, and
outstanding mortgage loan commitments to customers in the ordinary course of
business. At June 30, 2020, the Company had unused lines of credit of $727,036,
outstanding standby letters of credit of $95,517, and outstanding mortgage loan
commitments of $136,235.
GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial data included in our selected historical consolidated
financial information are not measures of financial performance recognized by
GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of
our performance:
•"Common equity" is defined as total shareholders' equity at end of period less
the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock;
•"Tangible common equity" is common equity less goodwill and other intangible
assets;
•"Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common equity divided by
total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors
interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of
changes in intangible assets; and
•"Return on Average Tangible Common Equity" is defined as net income available
to common shareholders divided by average tangible common shareholders' equity.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however,
we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of
limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for
results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily
comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.
