NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Tennessee corporation, is the holding
company for Cavalry Banking (the "Bank") which is a federally chartered stock
savings bank.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with Instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of results for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000. The consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999.
2. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share has been computed for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of
6,397,364 and 6,353,054 respectively. Earnings per share has been computed for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, based upon weighted average
common shares outstanding of 6,580,643 and 6,656,391 respectively. The Company
had no dilutive securities, therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as
basic earnings per share.
3. Business Segments
The Company and its subsidiary provide community oriented banking services to
individuals and businesses primarily within Rutherford, Bedford, and Williamson
counties in Middle Tennessee.
The Company's segments are identified by the products and services offered,
principally distinguished as banking, trust and mortgage banking operations.
Approximately 30% of mortgage banking revenues are derived each year from
transactions with agencies of the U.S. government. In addition, one unrelated
entity purchased approximately 50% of mortgages sold in 1999.
Segment information is derived from the internal reporting system utilized by
management with accounting policies and procedures consistent with those
described in Note 1 of the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. Segment
performance is evaluated by the Company based on profit or loss before income
taxes. Revenue, expense, and asset levels reflect those which can be
specifically identified and those assigned based on internally developed
allocation methods. These methods have been consistently applied.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical
facts, rather statements based on the Company's current expectations regarding
its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance.
Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "intends," and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results,
performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute
to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions,
including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal
policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes; and
other factors disclosed periodically in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking
statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether
included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on
its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
Total assets were $374.9 million at September 30, 2000, compared to $395.4
million at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $20.5 million or 5.18%. This
decrease was a result of cash being used to reduce borrowings from $45.0 million
to $1.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
investments from increased deposits. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from
$94.4 million at December 31, 1999, to $38.9 million at September 30, 2000.
This decrease was primarily a result of cash used to retire $45.0 million in
borrowings. Investments available for sale increased from $7.0 million at
December 31, 1999, to $27.1 million at September 30, 2000, as a result of
increased deposits. Loans receivable net increased $6.6 million from $272.2
million at December 31, 1999, to $278.8 million at September 30, 2000. Office
properties and equipment increased from $9.9 million at December 31, 1999 to
$15.2 million at September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily a result of
the construction of a new operations building that was completed in late
September. The construction of this building will allow additional growth in
the downtown main office and the consolidation of support operations. The Bank
continues to try to serve the needs of the community by increasing deposits and
using those funds to make loans in the surrounding community.

<PAGE>
Deposit accounts increased $19.5 million from $308.9 million at December 31,
1999, to $328.4 million at September 30, 2000. Certificates of deposit
increased $5.4 million from $151.0 million at December 31, 1999 to $156.4
million at September 30, 2000. Savings deposits increased $425,000 from $13.0
million at December 31, 1999 to $13.4 million at September 30, 2000. Money
market accounts increased $4.2 million from $63.8 million at December 31, 1999
to $68.0 million at September 30, 2000. Transaction accounts increased $7.5
million from $34.7 million at December 31, 1999 to $42.2 million at September
30, 2000. These increases were primarily a result of an ongoing effort to raise
the deposit base for the Bank.
Stockholders' equity increased by $3.9 million from $38.8 million at December
31, 1999, to $42.7 million at September 30, 2000, as a result of net income of
$3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, release of ESOP
shares of $918,000 and release of Management Recognition Plan (MRP) shares of
$914,000 and an unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $13,000 net
of taxes. These increases were offset by dividends declared of $1.1 million.
Nonperforming assets were $499,000 at December 31, 1999 and $589,000 at
September 30, 2000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
and September 30, 1999.
Net Income. Net income was $1.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
This decline was primarily a result of higher interest expense and lower non
interest income. These factors were offset by lower non interest expense,
higher interest income and a lower provision for loan losses. The decline in
net interest income was primarily a result of the impact of the decline in cash
equivalents used to fund the special cash distribution of $53.3 million, which
was paid in December 1999.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $300,000 from $4.6 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $4.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000. This decline was a result of earning assets
being utilized to fund the special cash distribution paid in December 1999.
This distribution resulted in a decline in the ratio of average interest-earning
assets to average interest-bearing liabilities from 140.85% for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, to 117.37% for the three months ended September 30,
2000.
Interest income increased 5.63% to $7.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, from $7.1 million for the same period in 1999. Interest on
loans increased from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
to $6.7 million for the same period in 2000. This was a result of average loans
outstanding increasing from $274.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 1999, to $281.1 million for the same period in 2000. The average yield
increased from 8.79% for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to 9.47% for
the same period in 2000. This increase in yield was a result of increased
lending rates. Income on all other investments consisting of mortgage backed
securities, investments, FHLB stock, bank deposits and federal funds declined
from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $887,000 for
the same period in 2000. Average investments decreased from $82.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $52.3 million for the same period
in 2000. The average yield increased from 5.01% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, to 6.73% for the same period in 2000. This increase in rate
was a result of rising rates while the decline in volume was a result of funds
used to pay the special cash distribution in December 1999.

Interest expense increased from $2.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, to $3.3 million for the same period in 2000. Average
deposits increased from $253.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999, to $282.4 million for the same period in 2000. This increase was a result
of continuing efforts to increase market share of deposits. The average cost of
deposits increased from 3.97% for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to
4.56% for the same period in 2000. Average borrowings were $1.6 million at an
average cost of 3.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. There were
no borrowings outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
total cost of funds increased from 3.97% for the three months ended September
30, 1999, to 4.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase
in cost was a result of higher interest rates during the quarter ended September
30, 2000. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $253.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $284.0 million for the same
period in 2000. Interest rate spread increased from 3.98% for the three months
ended September 30 1999, to 4.48% for the same period in 2000. This increase in
spread was a result of yields on earning assets increasing faster than the cost
of funds. Net interest margin increased from 5.11 % for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, to 5.13% for the same period in 2000.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses are charges to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as
adequate to provide for estimated loan losses based on management's evaluation
of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the
portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific
impaired loans and economic conditions. Management also considers the level of
problem assets, giving greater weight to the level of classified assets than to
the level of nonperforming assets because classified assets include not only
nonperforming assets but also performing assets that otherwise exhibit, in
management's judgement, potential credit weaknesses.
There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30,
2000, compared to $132,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in the
provision was a result of a smaller increase in total loans outstanding between
the two periods. Management deemed the allowance for loan losses adequate at
September 30, 2000.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased from $1.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, to $1.5 million for the same period in
2000. In the mortgage banking segment, net gain on sale of loans decreased from
$692,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $419,000 for the same
period in 2000. The higher gain in 1999 was a result of a non recurring bulk
sale of a portion of the servicing portfolio in the amount of $199,000.
Discounting the one time transaction, the gain for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, would have been $493,000. The decline in net gain on sale
of loans was a result of narrower margins due to market competition and lower
volumes. Loan servicing fees increased slightly from $59,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, to $60,000 for the same period in 2000. In the
banking segment, deposit fees and other operating incomes increased from
$607,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to $732,000 for the same
period in 2000. This increase was a result of growth in the number of
transaction accounts and increased charges. In the trust segment, trust fees
increased from $249,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to
$267,000 for the same period in 2000 as a result of increased fees and more
trust assets under management.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $3.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, and 1999. Compensation and other employee benefits
increased from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, to
$2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was a
result of vesting of a deceased director's MRP shares. The increase in other
operating expense was primarily a result of increased professional fees. The
decreases in other expenses were primarily due to a general slowing of the
economy and an effort to reduce overhead. The company expects occupancy expense
to increase beginning in the fourth quarter of 2000 as a result of occupying the
new operations building.
Income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $815,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $918,000 for the same period in 1999.
This decrease was primarily a result of lower income before taxes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999.
Net Income. Net income decreased to $3.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, primarily as a result of a higher interest expense. This increase in
interest expenses was partially offset by an increase in interest and non
interest income and a lower provision for loan losses.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased from $13.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $12.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. This decline was a result of earning assets being utilized
to fund the special cash distribution paid in December 1999. This distribution
resulted in a decline in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities from 144.31% for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, to 116.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Interest income increased 4.83% to $21.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $20.7 million for the same period in 1999. Interest on
loans increased from $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
to $19.2 million for the same period in 2000. This was a result of average
loans outstanding increasing from $262.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, to $278.7 million for the same period in 2000. The average
yield increased from 8.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to
9.20% for the same period in 2000. This increase in yield was a result of
increased lending rates. Income on all other investments consisting of mortgage
backed securities, investments, FHLB stock, bank deposits and federal funds
declined from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $2.5
million for the same period in 2000. Average investments decreased from $86.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $50.9 million for the
same period in 2000. The average yield increased from 4.97% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, to 6.61% for the same period in 2000. This increase
in rate was a result of rising rates while the decline in volume was a result of
funds used to pay the special cash distribution in December 1999.
Interest expense increased from $7.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, to $9.5 million for the same period in 2000. Average deposits
increased from $242.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to
$279.2 million for the same period in 2000. This increase was a result of
continuing efforts to increase market share of deposits. The average cost of
deposits increased from 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to
4.45% for the same period in 2000. Average borrowings were $4.0 million at an
average cost of 5.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. There were
no borrowings outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
total cost of funds increased from 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, to 4.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase in
cost was a result of higher interest rates during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $242.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $283.2 million for the
same period in 2000. Interest rate spread increased from 3.93% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, to 4.33% for the same period in 2000. This
increase in spread was a result of yields on earning assets increasing faster
than the cost of funds. Net interest margin decreased from 5.15% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, to 4.96% for the same period in 2000. This
decrease was a result of average earning assets declining and average costing
liabilities increasing.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses are charges to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as
adequate to provide for estimated loan losses based on management's evaluation
of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the
portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific
impaired loans and economic conditions. Management also considers the level of
problem assets giving greater weight to the level of classified assets than to
the level of nonperforming assets because classified assets include not only
nonperforming assets but also performing assets that otherwise exhibit, in
management's judgment, potential credit weaknesses.
The provision for loan losses was $141,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000, compared to $644,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in the
provision was a result of a smaller increase in total loans outstanding between
the two periods. Management deemed the allowance for loan losses adequate at
September 30, 2000.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $4.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, to $4.3 million for the same period in 2000.
In the mortgage banking segment net gain on sale of loans decreased from $1.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $1.2 million for the
same period in 2000. This decrease was a result of lower sales volume and
declining margins due to market competition. Loan servicing fees also declined
slightly from $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $191,000
for the same period in 2000. In the banking segment, deposit fees and other
operating incomes increased from $1.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, to $2.1 million for the same period in 2000. This increase
was primarily a result of growth in the number of transaction accounts. In the
trust segment, trust fees increased from $687,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, to $801,000 for the same period in 2000 as a result of
increased fees and more trust assets under management.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $11.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $11.1 million for the same period in 1999.
Compensation and other employee benefits increased from $6.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $7.1 million for the same period in
2000. This increase was primarily a result of the MRP stock incentive plan,
which was approved at the annual meeting in April 1999. Most other expenses
declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared the same period
in 1999 as a result of slower lending activity and efforts to control expenses.
Income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $2.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in
1999. This decrease was primarily a result of lower income before taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan
principal and interest payments, sale of loans, maturing securities and Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati advances. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are influenced greatly by general interest rates, other
economic conditions, and competition. Regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"), the Bank's primary regulator, require the Bank to maintain
an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient
liquidity to fund loan originations, deposit withdrawals and to satisfy other
financial commitments. Currently, the OTS regulatory liquidity for the Bank is
the maintenance of an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash and eligible
investments) equal to at least 4% of the daily balance of net withdrawal
deposits and short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement is subject to
periodic change. The Company and the Bank generally maintain sufficient cash
and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30,
2000, cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.9 million or 10.38% of total assets,
and investments available-for-sale totaling $27.1 million. At September 30,
2000, the Bank also maintained, but did not draw upon, a line of credit with the
FHLB of Cincinnati in the amount of $10.0 million.
11
<PAGE>
As of September 30, 2000, The Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2000, under regulations of
the OTS, the Bank's actual tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios were
11.09%, 11.09% and 12.30%, respectively, compared to requirements of 1.5%, 3.0%
and 8.0%, respectively.
At September 30, 2000, the Bank had loan commitments of approximately $32.5
million. In addition, at September 30, 2000, the unused portion of lines of
credit extended by the Bank was approximately $9.2 million for consumer loans
and $26.8 million for commercial loans. Standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily
issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including
commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees
extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. At September 30, 2000, the Bank had $8.4 million of letters of
credit outstanding.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto,
presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which
require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the change in relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in
the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial
companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.
As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance
than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of
goods and services.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through
selected interest rate risk measures produced internally and by the OTS. Based
on internal reviews, management does not believe that there has been a material
change in the Company's interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 1999, to
September 30, 2000. However, the OTS results are not yet available for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. All methods used to measure interest rate
sensitivity involve the use of assumptions. Management cannot predict what
assumptions are made by the OTS, which can vary from management's assumptions.
Therefore, the results of the OTS calculations can differ from management's
internal calculations. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be
reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The following table presents the Company's maturity gap at September 30, 2000
