                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994
 
  General--The consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted
  -------
accounting principles and to general industry practices. The accompanying
interim financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. The notes included herein should be read in
conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in
AmSouth Bancorporation's (AmSouth) 1994 annual report to shareholders on Form
10-K.
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmSouth and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Prior year financial statements have been restated to include the
accounts of business combinations accounted for as poolings-of-interests.
Results of operations of companies purchased are included from the dates of
acquisitions.
 
  Effective January 1, 1995, AmSouth adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures"
(Statement 114). The statement requires that certain impaired loans be measured
based on the present value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. The adoption of Statement 114 resulted in no material impact on
AmSouth's financial condition or results of operations.
 
  On June 23, 1994, AmSouth completed the acquisition of Fortune Bancorp, Inc.
(Fortune) which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
through the issuance of approximately 4,474,000 shares of common stock and
payment of approximately $144.6 million in cash. Approximately $167.0 million
of goodwill resulting from the acquisition will be amortized on a straight line
basis over 20 years.
 
  On February 16, 1995, AmSouth completed the acquisition of Community Federal
Savings Bank (Community), headquartered in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Under the
terms of the agreement, AmSouth paid $65.50 for each of the outstanding shares
of Community common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $17.0
million. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Approximately $7.5 million of goodwill resulting from the
acquisition will be amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. Due to
the immateriality of the transaction, pro forma information is not presented.
 
  Cash Flows--For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, AmSouth paid
  ----------
interest of $148,987,000 and $83,820,000, respectively, and income taxes of
$813,000 and $9,835,000, respectively. Noncash transfers from loans to
foreclosed properties for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were
$3,323,000 and $2,041,000, respectively and noncash transfers from foreclosed
properties to loans were $274,000 and $783,000, respectively.
 
  Long-Term Debt--On May 19, 1994, AmSouth issued $150.0 million in 7 3/4%
  --------------
Subordinated Notes Due 2004 at a discounted price of 99.389%. The net proceeds
to AmSouth after commissions totaled $148.1 million. The notes will mature on
May 15, 2004 and are not redeemable prior to maturity. The proceeds from the
notes were used for the Fortune acquisition. This debt qualifies as Tier 2
capital in calculating risk-adjusted capital ratios.
 
  Shareholders' Equity--On September 22, 1994, AmSouth purchased 1,000,000
  --------------------
shares of AmSouth Common Stock at a cost of $31.3 million for the sole purpose
of replenishing shares issued by AmSouth in connection with its purchase of
Fortune.

  Subsequent Event--On April 10, 1995, AmSouth announced the execution of an
agreement to sell its third party mortgage servicing portfolio of approximately
$6.0 billion to GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc. AmSouth will continue
servicing the portfolio until the end of June when the transfer of servicing
will occur.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
AmSouth Bancorporation
 
  We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of
AmSouth Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statement of earnings and statement of cash flows for the
three-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
 
  We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
 
  Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
  We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated statement of condition of AmSouth Bancorporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 31, 1995, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
statement of condition as of December 31, 1994, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from
which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
  AmSouth reported net income of $40.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 compared to $39.0 million for the same period of 1994. On a per common
share basis, AmSouth earned $.69 and $.72, respectively. First quarter earnings
resulted in an annualized return on average assets of .96% and an annualized
return on average equity of 12.28% compared to 1.18% and 13.37% for the first
quarter of 1994.
 
Net Interest Margin
- -------------------
 
  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the net interest margin totaled
$137.7 million compared to $132.1 million for the same period of 1994. An
increase in revenue from earning assets was partially offset by increases in
interest expense and the provision for loan losses. The gross interest spread
declined 67 basis points for the three months compared to the prior year.
 
  Year-to-date average earning assets increased 26.7%. The primary reason for
the increase was a 32.6% increase in average loans net of unearned income.
Exclusive of the acquisition of Fortune in June 1994, and Community in March
1995, which were accounted for as purchases, AmSouth's loan growth was
approximately 14.0%. Residential first mortgages represented approximately
60.0% of this growth. At March 31, 1995, residential first mortgages comprised
37.0% of AmSouth's total loan portfolio with approximately 68.0% of that
balance at adjustable rates.
 
  Year-to-date average total securities increased $718.2 million or 22.9%.
Sales of low-yielding securities totaling approximately $1.0 billion during
1994 accounted for the decrease of $666.6 million in the average available-for-
sale portfolio balance. Average held-to-maturity securities increased $1.5
billion primarily due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities during the
second quarter of 1994.
 
  The year-to-date average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased
$3.4 billion, funding the total growth in earning assets. Average interest-
bearing deposits increased $2.6 billion due to the acquisition of Fortune,
growth in new markets entered into through business combinations, rising
interest rates and a special marketing campaign during the last half of 1994.
Other significant increases include a $305.2 million increase in Federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, $282.2 million in
Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $149.1 million in parent company
subordinated long-term debt.
 
  From March 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995, market interest rates increased as the
overall economy improved. AmSouth's yield on earning assets increased 79 basis
points as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 149 basis
points. Balance increases in average earning assets and average interest-
bearing liabilities from first quarter 1994 to first quarter 1995 were almost
evenly matched, with minimal increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. The
combination of these results decreased the gross interest spread 67 basis
points compared to the first quarter of 1994.
 
  AmSouth maintains an asset and liability process to monitor interest rate
risk and assist management in maintaining stability in the gross interest
margin. Over the last few years, AmSouth has utilized various off-balance sheet
instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors to manage interest
rate risk. During the fourth quarter of 1994, AmSouth terminated $1.1 billion
of interest rate swaps and $915.0 million of interest rate caps. A $300.0
million interest rate floor was terminated during the first quarter of 1995. At
March 31, 1995, AmSouth had $140.0 million of interest rate caps remaining with
$90.0 million used to hedge Federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and $50.0 million used to hedge deposits. In addition,
AmSouth had interest rate contracts on behalf of its customers in the amount of
$58.9 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, interest rate contracts
had no material impact on the gross interest margin. For the same period of
1994, the impact on the gross interest margin was an increase of $1.3 million.

Credit Quality
- --------------
 
  Effective January 1, 1995, AmSouth adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures"
(Statement 114). Impairment of a loan within the scope of Statement 114 is to
be recognized based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the loan's observable
market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Based on management's review of loans identified for evaluation,
AmSouth had no impaired loans at March 31, 1995. Table 6 presents a five
quarter comparison of the components of nonperforming assets. Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of loans net of unearned income, foreclosed properties
and repossessions increased from 1.02% at March 31, 1994 to 1.10% at March 31,
1995. The level of nonperforming assets increased $37.9 million during the same
period with Fortune nonperforming assets accounting for $25.5 million of the
increase.
 
  AmSouth maintains an allowance for loan losses which management believes is
adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. Table 7 presents a five
quarter analysis of the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 1995, the ratio
of the allowance for loan losses to loans net of unearned income was 1.48%
compared to 1.46% for the prior year. The coverage ratio of the allowance for
loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 169.74% from 199.62% for the
same period. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans net of unearned income
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was 24 basis points compared to 22
basis points for the same period of 1994.
 
Noninterest Revenues and Noninterest Expense
- --------------------------------------------
 
  Year-to-date noninterest revenues totaled $56.8 million at March 31, 1995, a
17.3% increase compared to the same period of the prior year. Within the
components of noninterest revenues, increases occurred in service charges on
deposit accounts of $3.5 million, other operating revenues of $2.3 million and
portfolio income of $1.8 million. The increase in service charges on deposit
accounts was primarily due to an increased volume of overdraft fees and service
charges on consumer accounts. A gain of $1.7 million on the sale of servicing
by AmSouth's mortgage subsidiary is the primary reason for the increase in
other operating revenues. Portfolio income increased due to improvements in the
securities market.
 
  Noninterest expenses increased $11.6 million, or 9.6%, for the first quarter
of 1995 compared to 1994 due in part to the acquisition of Fortune. Salaries
and employee benefits increased $3.4 million due to normal merit increases and
the Fortune acquisition. Net occupancy expense increased $1.6 million primarily
due to an increased number of offices. Increased deposit levels due to the
acquisition of Fortune and the 1994 deposit marketing campaign resulted in a
$1.6 million increase in FDIC premiums. Other operating expenses increased due
to increases in general overhead costs and investment related expenses.
 
Capital Adequacy
- ----------------
 
  At March 31, 1995, shareholders' equity totaled $1.3 billion, or 7.82% of
total assets. Since December 31, 1994, shareholders' equity increased $24.7
million as net income exceeded dividends by $18.0 million, the market value of
available-for-sale securities increased $4.4 million and employee stock plans
contributed $2.3 million. Table 11 presents the calculation of the risk-
adjusted capital ratios for AmSouth at March 31, 1995, and 1994. At March 31,
1995, AmSouth remains above the regulatory minimum required risk-adjusted Tier
1 capital ratio of 4.00% and the regulatory minimum required risk-adjusted
total capital ratio of 8.00%. In addition, at March 31, 1995, the risk-adjusted
capital ratios for AmSouth's banking subsidiaries were above the regulatory
minimum and each subsidiary was well-capitalized as defined by federal banking
regulations. The total risk-adjusted capital ratio for each of AmSouth's major
subsidiaries was:

                        shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than
                        fifty (50) days and, in the case of a meeting of
                        shareholders, not less than ten (10) days (or, in the

                        requiring such determination of shareholders is to be
                        taken.

                        If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record
                        date is fixed for the determination of shareholders

                        for such determination of shareholders.

                        When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at
                        any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in
                        this section, such determination shall apply to any
                        adjournment thereof, except where the determination has

                        books and the stated period of closing has expired.

                        alphabetical order, with the address and the number of

                        (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file
                        at the principal office of the corporation and shall be
                        subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time
                        during usual business hours. Such list shall also be

                        shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.
                        If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are
                        represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so
                        represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time
                        without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at

                        transacted at the meeting under the original notice. The
                        shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may
                        continue to transact business until the meeting is
                        adjourned, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
                        shareholders to leave less than a quorum.


SECTION 2.8:            PROXIES

                        At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote

                        his or her duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy
                        shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation
                        before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be
                        valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its
                        execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.


SECTION 2.9:            VOTING OF SHARES

                        Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be

                        the name of another corporation may be voted by such
                        officer,
<PAGE>
 
                        agent, or proxy, as the by-laws of such corporation may
                        prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the
                        Board of Directors of such corporation may determine.
                        Shares belonging to another corporation, if a majority
                        of the shares entitled to vote for the election of
                        directors of such other corporation is held by the
                        corporation, shall not be voted at any meeting or
                        counted in determining the total number of outstanding

                        nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting
                        the right of any such other corporation to vote stock of
                        the corporation held by it in a fiduciary capacity.


                        Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or
                        conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person
                        or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his
                        or her name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee
                        may be voted by him or her, either in person or by
                        proxy; but, no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares
                        held by him or her without a transfer of such shares
                        into his or her name.

                        Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted
                        by such receiver, and shares held or under the control
                        of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the
                        transfer thereof into his or her name if authority so to
                        do is contained in an appropriate order of the court by
                        which such receiver was appointed.

                        A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled
                        to vote such shares unless in the transfer by the
                        pledgor on the books of the corporation the pledgor has
                        expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in
                        which case only the pledgee, or his or her proxy, may
                        represent such shares and vote thereon. Treasury shares
                        shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any
                        meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the
                        presence of a quorum.

SECTION 2.11:           INSPECTORS

                        Prior to any meeting of shareholders, the Board of
                        Directors or the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint
                        one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a
                        written report and may designate one or more persons as
                        alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails
                        to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at
                        the meeting of shareholders, the person presiding at the
                        meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at
                        the meeting. Inspectors may, but are not required to be,
                        employees of the corporation or of its subsidiaries.
                        Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of
                        his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath
                        faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with
                        strict impartiality and according to the best of his or
                        her ability.

                        The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares
                        outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the
                        shares represented at the meeting and the validity of
                        proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots,
                        determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of
                        the disposition of any challenges made to any
                        determination by the inspectors and certify their
                        determination of the number of shares represented at the
                        meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The
                        inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or
                        entities to assist them in the performance of their
                        duties.

                        The date and time of the opening and closing of the
                        polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will
                        vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No
                        ballot, proxy, or vote, nor any revocation thereof or
                        change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors
                        after the closing of the polls.

                        In determining the validity and counting of proxies and
                        ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an
                        examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted
                        therewith, any information provided by a shareholder who
                        submits a proxy by telegram, cablegram, or other
                        electronic transmission from which it can be determined
                        that the proxy was authorized by the shareholder,
                        ballots, and the regular books and records of the
                        corporation, and they may also consider other reliable
                        information for the limited purpose of reconciling
                        proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks,
                        brokers, their nominees or similar persons which
                        represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is
                        authorized by the record owner to
<PAGE>
 
                        cast or more votes than the shareholder holds of record.
                        If the inspectors consider other reliable information
                        for such purpose, they shall, at the time they make
                        their certification, specify the precise information
                        considered by them, including the person or persons from
                        whom they obtained the information, when the information
                        was obtained, the means by which the information was
                        obtained and the basis for the inspectors' belief that
                        such information is accurate and reliable.

                           duties of a director of this corporation or

<PAGE>
 
                        and, if no resignation is received by the corporation by
                        the end of the calendar month in which the sixty-eighth
                        birthday, disability, or separation from business occurs

                        (e) On recommendation of the Director Affairs Committee,

                        Directors or of any such committee by means of a

                        by means of which all persons participating in the

                        meeting in such manner shall constitute presence in
                        person at the meeting.


SECTION 3.6:            INFORMAL ACTION

                        Any action required or permitted to be taken at any

                        thereof may be taken without a meeting, if, prior to
                        such action, a written consent thereto is signed by all
                        members of the Board of Directors or of such committee,
                        as the case may be, and such written consent is filed

                        less than one (1) day's notice; in that event, only such
                        notice need be given as such officer or directors shall

                        a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
                        notice of such meeting, except where a director attends
                        a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
                        transaction of any business because the meeting is not
                        lawfully called or convened.


SECTION 3.8:            FEES

                        By resolution of the Board of Directors, the directors

                        a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting
                        of the Board of Directors; but, if less than such quorum
                        is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors
                        present may adjourn the meeting from time to time

SECTION 3.12:           COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                        The standing committees of the Board of Directors shall
                        be the following:
                          a.  Executive Committee
                          b.  Strategic Planning Committee
                          c.  Director Affairs Committee
                          d.  Executive Compensation and Benefits Committee
                          e.  Audit, Compliance, and Public Policy Committee
                          f.  Finance and Pension Fund Committee


SECTION 3.13:           COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND OPERATIONS

SECTION 3.13 (a):       The Executive Committee will be made up of the Chairman
                        of the Board, as chairman of the committee, and the
                        chairmen of the other standing committees.

SECTION 3.13 (b):       The Strategic Planning Committee shall consist of all
                        outside, independent directors.

                              (1) A director will not be considered as
                        "independent" if he or she is an employee or former
                        employee of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries,
                        or is a substantial customer of or a supplier of goods
                        or services to the corporation, or is a significant
                        advisor or consultant to the corporation, except when
                        the Board has determined that the facts of such
                        relationship with the corporation are not such as would
                        influence the exercise of independent judgment by the
                        director. (The ownership of stock in the corporation by
                        directors is encouraged and the ownership of a
                        substantial amount of stock is not in itself a basis for
                        a director to be considered as not "independent".)

                              (2) A director will not be considered an "outside"
                        director if he or she is an employee or a former
                        employee of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.13 (c):       The membership of the standing committees other than the
                        Executive Committee will be composed only of outside
                        directors; there will be no less than three outside
                        directors on each of the committees; and, in the case of
                        the Executive Compensation and Benefits Committee, none
                        of the members shall be or shall have been an employee
                        or officer of the corporation or its subsidiaries or be
                        eligible (or have been
<PAGE>
 
                        eligible during the twelve months preceding assignment
                        to the committee) to participate in any compensation
                        plan of the corporation, the administration of which is
                        limited to directors who are not eligible to
                        participate.

SECTION 3.13 (d):       Directors may serve on more than one committee but no
                        director simultaneously may be chairman of more than one
                        committee.

SECTION 3.13 (e):       Each committee will have a secretary, who may, but need
                        not be, a member of the committee or of the Board, whose
                        duty it will be to take and transcribe minutes of each
                        committee meeting and to deliver them to the Secretary
                        of the corporation.

SECTION 3.13 (f):       Annually, at its organizational meeting, the Board of
                        Directors will elect members to committee memberships
                        and appoint chairmen of the committees. Members and
                        chairmen of committees will serve until their successors
                        are elected and may succeed themselves. At the time
                        membership of a committee is elected, the Board may
                        designate one or more directors as alternate members,
                        who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
                        meeting of that committee.

SECTION 3.13 (g):       The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman
                        of each committee will determine when the committee
                        meets. Either the Chairman of the Board of Directors or
                        the chairman of a committee may call meetings of the
                        committee at any time.

SECTION 3.13 (h):       The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman
                        of each committee will develop the committee's agenda,
                        which will be consistent with the role of the committee
                        as provided in these by-laws or in the Board of
                        Directors resolution establishing the committee.

SECTION 3.13 (i):       A majority of the members of a committee shall
                        constitute a quorum of its members and the act of a
                        majority of the members present at a meeting at which a
                        quorum is present shall be the act of the committee.
                        Further, in the absence or disqualification of a member
                        of a committee, the member or members present at any
                        meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not
                        he, she, or they constitute a quorum and if they act
                        unanimously, may appoint another member of the Board of
                        Directors to act at the meeting in the place of
<PAGE>
 
                        any such absent or disqualified member.


SECTION 3.14:           STANDING COMMITTEES' AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

SECTION 3.14 (a):       EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

                        In the time between meetings of the Board of Directors,
                        the Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all
                        of the authority and powers of the Board of Directors to
                        the extent allowed by law, specifically including,
                        without thereby limiting the generality of the
                        foregoing, the authority to declare dividends. The
                        Executive Committee shall inform the Board of Directors

                          ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSES


1.1  By this document AmSouth Bancorporation (further referenced as "AmSouth" or
     the "Corporation") restates, effective for Plan Years beginning on or after
     January 1, 1995, the AmSouth Bancorporation Executive Incentive Plan (the
     "Plan").


1.2  The purposes of the Plan are:

      A. To optimize AmSouth's profitability and growth consistent with its
         goals and objectives;

      B. To optimize retention of a highly competent senior management group by
         providing Participants short-term incentive compensation, which, when
         combined with base salary, long-term incentive compensation, and
         benefits, is fully competitive with other major bank holding companies;

      C. To pay incentive awards within the Plan that correlate well with the
         relative contributions made by Participants throughout all management
         levels of the corporation;

      D. To encourage accountability on the part of Participants by connecting a
         portion of the incentives paid to the performance of the organizational
         units for which the Participants are responsible; and

      E. To encourage teamwork and involvement on the part of Participants by
         connecting a portion of the incentives paid to the performance of the
         larger unit of which they are a part, or for which they provide
         support.

                              CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

2.1  "Award" means the money determined under this Plan to be due to a
     Participant as a result of performance during a Plan Year, which shall be
     paid, or the payment of which may be deferred, as provided in this Plan.

2.2  "Award Date" means that date, as soon as practicable after the performance
     evaluations of the corporation, each line or staff support unit, and the
     applicable participants are completed, on which awards are paid, or
     deferred as the case may be.

2.3  "Base Compensation" means the base salary earned by a Participant during
     a Plan Year.

2.4  "Beneficiary" means the beneficiary named by a Participant in writing filed
     with the Compensation Committee. If a Participant does not wish to name a
     beneficiary, the Beneficiary under this Plan will be the same as his or her
     beneficiary under the AmSouth Bancorporation Thrift Plan or any successor
     thereto in effect on the date of the Participant's death.

2.5  "Compensation Committee" means the Compensation Committee of the Board of
     Directors of AmSouth Bancorporation or any successor Committee that
     performs similar functions. This committee administers and interprets the
     Plan; any decision made by the Compensation Committee is final and binding
     on the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary.

2.6  A "Participant" is a senior AmSouth executive who is recommended by
     management and chosen each year by the Compensation Committee to
     participate with respect to the next Plan Year. Furthermore, a Participant
     must sign, and the Compensation Committee must accept, an "AmSouth
     Bancorporation Executive Incentive Plan Annual Election Form" unless an
     executive is 
<PAGE>
 
     selected to be a Participant during the Plan Year. Except as specifically
     stated in this Plan, all provisions of this Plan govern all Participants.

2.7  "Peer Bank Group" is all U.S. banks which have assets ranging from one half
     to two times AmSouth's size as of the beginning of any given Plan Year.

2.8  "Plan Year" means a calendar year.



                                  ARTICLE III
                                  -----------

                                 PARTICIPATION


A Plan Participant will not be qualified to receive an Award for a Plan Year
unless he or she was approved for entry into the Plan by the Compensation
Committee and is still working for AmSouth on the Award Date for that Plan Year.
However, retirement, death, disability or an approved leave of absence will not
disqualify a Participant; rather, a proportionate payment based on the time
worked during the Plan Year will be made to the Participant or to his or her
Beneficiary, as the case may be. If an executive leaves AmSouth's employ for any
other reason, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, make an
Award to him or her of a proportionate payment based on the time worked during
the Plan Year.


                                  ARTICLE IV
                                  ---------- 

                            DETERMINATION OF AWARDS


4.1  As a starting point, the most appropriate units of the business for goal
     establishment and performance measurement under this Plan will be
     determined for each Participant. The business units will essentially be
     either the Corporation, a line delivery unit, or a staff support unit. Each
     Participant will have a "sub-unit" (unit that he or she directly manages
     and has accountability for) and a "total unit" (larger unit that he or she
     is most directly related to in carrying out his or her
<PAGE>
 
EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN
REVISED JANUARY 1, 1995
PAGE 4

     responsibilities). Each of these units will be assigned a percentage
     weighting with the two weightings totaling 100%. The appropriate business
     units for each Participant will be weighted with an emphasis on
     accountability, but also a recognition of teamwork or support. Annual goals
     and performance criteria will be established, and results will be assessed
     to determine a performance rating.

4.2  The importance of sound goal setting is critical to the success of this
     Plan. The goal setting process will be directly connected to the annual
     business plan and resulting budget, and will begin with Participants at the
     highest levels in the Corporation. The goals set for these Participants
     will then be interpreted further down in the organization to all levels of
     Participants with the general intent that the goals for all of the various
     levels support or add up to the goals for the Corporation. Goals setting
     for the line delivery managers will be largely consistent, objective, and
     numerically or financially oriented. Goal setting for staff support
     positions will be as objective as possible, but also will involve the
     inclusion of various goals which are inherently more subjective in nature.
     In these cases, measurement will be based on sound judgment supported by as
     much observation and input as possible. Once determined, goals will be
     documented on the EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN GOAL SETTING AND EVALUATION
     FORM. (See Exhibit A.)

4.3  A "corporate rating" will be determined at year end based on the
     Compensation Committee's evaluation of the year's results against the
     annual goals approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the
     Plan Year. Primary emphasis will be placed on an "Earnings Per Share" goal.
     Emphasis will also be placed on other objective performance measures
     compared to goals. These will include, but not be limited to, Return on
     Average Assets, Return on Average Equity, Credit Quality Measures,
     Efficiency Ratio, Loan Growth, Deposit Growth and Non-Interest Revenue
     Growth. Finally, some emphasis will also be placed on subjective factors
     that will impact the year's performance. The weightings placed on each of
     these areas will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the
     beginning of each Plan Year.  The Corporate 
<PAGE>
 
     rating can range from 0.0 to 2.0, with 1.0 basically representing goal
     attainment. For "units below the corporate level," goals with appropriate
     weightings also will be set. Results will be evaluated against goals, and
     one of the following five general achievement levels will apply for each
     goal resulting in a performance rating from 0.0 to 2.0.

</TABLE> 

Sound judgment will be utilized to determine a performance category and a
performance rating within the corresponding range based on actual results versus
goal. Overall monitoring will be performed on a centralized basis by Corporate
Human Resources to ensure as much consistency in this area as possible.
Performance under the Plan will be rated at mid-year and at year-end utilizing
the EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN GOAL SETTING AND EVALUATION FORM. (See Exhibit A.)

4.4  A "base bonus opportunity" will be set for each Participant as a percent of
     base pay by referencing market data on an annual basis. This will represent
     the percentage payout associated with the basic achievement of established
     goals represented by the overall rating (total unit and sub unit). If the
     sub-unit's total performance rating is less than 0.6, the Participant will
     not receive a payout under the Plan (regardless what the total unit's total
     performance rating is). Assuming that the sub-unit's total performance
     rating is 0.6 or higher, an overall performance rating (sub unit plus total
     unit) ranging from 0.0 - 2.0 will determine the tentative payout percentage
     for a Participant. A rating of 1.0 will basically indicate that goals have
     been achieved and that 100% of the "base bonus opportunity" will be the
     tentative payout percentage for a Participant. Overall performance 
<PAGE>
 
     ratings above or below 1.0 can cause the tentative payout percentage to be
     as high as 200% of the base bonus opportunity or a percentage less than
     100% of the base bonus opportunity. The actual calculation of the tentative
     payout percentage is performed by multiplying the base bonus opportunity by
     the overall performance rating.

4.5  A "special adjustment factor" will be allowed on a limited basis to adjust
     the tentative payout percentage up or down by as much as 33% of the base
     bonus opportunity in the case of extraordinary circumstances. Such
     circumstances could include, but would not be limited to: (I) positive or
     negative differences in the performance environment not contemplated when
     business unit goals were set; and (ii) exemplary individual actions. The
     special adjustment factor, if applicable, would be a percentage added to
     the tentative payout percentage as calculated under Section 4.4 to
     determine the actual payout percentage. The Base Compensation for the Plan
     Year will be multiplied by the actual payout percentage to determine the
     cash incentive Award earned.

                            DISTRIBUTION OF AWARDS


Unless a Participant has elected to defer receipt of his or her Award under
Article VI, the Award will be paid in the form of a cash bonus. However, if a
Participant dies prior to the Award Date, the designated Beneficiary will be
paid the amount of the Award in a single cash sum whether or not the Participant
has made an election to defer any part or all of the Award as provided for in
Article VI. All Awards will be paid net of any required federal, FICA, state or
local tax withholdings.

                                   ELECTIONS


6.1  Before the beginning of each Plan Year, each Participant, who wishes to
     defer his or her Award, if any, for the upcoming year, must fill out a form
     titled, "AmSouth Bancorporation Executive Incentive Plan Annual Election
     Form". (See Exhibit B.) Utilizing this form, a Participant can defer
     receiving all of his or her Award or the amount exceeding a designated
     dollar amount of the Award. This signed form must be returned to the
     designee of the Compensation Committee before January 1 of the Plan Year.
     The Participant's choice for a given Plan Year can never be changed.
     However, each Participant can make new and different choices for later Plan
     Years.

6.2  Due to the complexity of the rules governing these deferrals, a separate
     agreement (the "Executive Incentive Award Deferral Agreement") will be
     provided to a Participant for acceptance at the time of his or her actual
     deferral.

6.3  The Compensation Committee has the right to discontinue the deferral
     feature of this Plan at any time, at its discretion. Discontinuation will
     not affect any Awards previously made to and deferred by a Participant;
     those Awards will continue to be governed by the terms of the Executive
     Incentive Award Deferral Agreement.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS


7.1  AmSouth will not under any circumstances make any payment under this Plan
     or under the Executive Incentive Award Deferral Agreement to any assignee
     or creditor of a Participant or of his or her Beneficiary. Before a
     Participant actually receives a payment under this Plan, neither he or she
     nor a designated Beneficiary has any right, even in anticipation of
     receiving a payment, 
<PAGE>
 
     to assign, pledge, grant a security interest in, transfer or otherwise
     dispose of any interest under this Plan or under the Executive Incentive
     Award Deferral Agreement. Furthermore, a Participant's rights cannot be
     assigned or transferred even by operation of law.

7.2  This Plan gives the Participant no right to be retained in AmSouth's
     employment.

7.3  The Compensation Committee can end or change this Plan (including the
     provisions of the Executive Incentive Award Deferral Agreement) at any
     time. However, neither the Compensation Committee nor the Board of
     Directors of AmSouth Bancorporation can take away any Award which a
     Participant has already been paid or which a Participant has deferred, or
     any Award a Participant might receive for the Plan Year when the
     Compensation Committee acts.

7.4  This Plan is to be governed and interpreted as provided in the laws of the
     State of Alabama.

7.5  Neither an executive nor any officer or employee of AmSouth Bancorporation
     or any of its subsidiaries has any claim or right to be included in the
     Plan or to be granted an Award unless and until (i) he or she has become a
     participant for the Plan Year in question and (ii) his or her Award has
     been made.

IN WITNESS OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE PLAN, AmSouth Bancorporation
has caused this document to be executed by its authorized officers as of the 1st
day of January, 1995.

                         SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
                  AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JANUARY 1, 1995


AmSouth Bancorporation, with its principal offices located at Birmingham,
Alabama ("Sponsor") is currently the sponsor of the AmSouth Bancorporation
Retirement Plan ("Retirement Plan") in order to provide retirement benefits to
its employees and the employees of its participating subsidiaries.

Effective January 1, 1983 and pursuant to Section 3(36) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), AmSouth Bank N.A., an Employer
under the Retirement Plan, adopted a supplemental retirement benefit program
solely for the purpose of providing benefits in excess of the limitations on
benefits under the Retirement Plan imposed by Section 415 ("Section 415") of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended at the date hereof and known as the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (amended from time to time, the "Code"), to
certain individuals under the Retirement Plan whose benefits under the
Retirement Plan are limited by Section 415.

Effective January 1, 1989, Section 401(a)(17) ("Section 401(a)(17)") of the Code
limited the amount of compensation which may be taken into account in
determining benefits from the Retirement Plan. Therefore, AmSouth Bank N.A.
amended and restated this supplemental retirement plan effective January 1, 1989
so that it provided benefits in excess of the limitations on benefits under the
Retirement Plan imposed not only by Section 415, but also by Section 401(a)(17),
to a select group of management or highly compensated employees whose benefits
under the Retirement Plan are limited by Section 415 and/or Section 401(a)(17).

Effective January 1, 1991, additional persons were added to this select group of
management or highly compensated employees, some of whom were employees of
subsidiaries of the Sponsor other than AmSouth Bank N.A. AmSouth Bank N.A.
amended and restated its supplemental plan, AmSouth Bancorporation adopted the
supplemental plan for itself and its subsidiaries who choose to have their
eligible employees covered by the supplemental plan ("Electing Employers"), and
AmSouth Bank N.A. became an Electing Employer under the supplemental plan.

Effective January 1, 1994, additional persons were added to the select group of
management or highly compensated employees.
<PAGE>
 
Effective January 1, 1995, the eligibility provisions of the plan were changed
and a revised definition of compensation was added to the plan for certain

                     BENEFITS UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN
                     ------------------------------------

Section 3.01. Benefits payable under this Supplemental Plan to or on behalf of a
- ------------
Participant shall be calculated pursuant to either (a) or (b) below:

     (a) In the case of Participants who are members of the AmSouth
Bancorporation Management Committee or the AmSouth Bancorporation Operating
Committee and who retire after January 1, 1995, the benefits payable under the
Supplemental Plan shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (A) less (B) (the
"Excess Benefits") where (A) is such Participant's benefits as a Member of the
Retirement Plan calculated without reference to any provision of the Retirement
Plan limiting the amount of benefits as provided by Section 415 of the Code or
limiting the amount of compensation taken into account as provided by Section
401(a)(17) of the Code and further calculated by substituting the definition of
"Monthly Earnings" set forth in this paragraph (a) in place of the definition of
such term in the Retirement Plan, and (B) is the amount of benefits actually
payable under the Retirement Plan. For purposes of this paragraph (a) only,
"Monthly Earnings" shall mean the sum of (i) the Participant's regular basic
monthly earnings prior to the effect of elections under any plan or plans
maintained by the Sponsor or an Electing Employer which are within the scope of
Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code, and (ii) one-twelfth of the bonus earned by
a Participant under the Executive Incentive Plan for the particular Plan Year,
including Plan Years prior to January 1, 1995 (regardless of whether the bonus
is in fact paid in a subsequent year). If a Participant to whom this paragraph
(a) applies retires, dies or becomes permanently disabled prior to the time when
the amount of the bonus for that Plan Year has been determined, Monthly Earnings
for the months in such Plan Year shall be calculated using an estimate of such
bonus determined by the AmSouth Bancorporation Compensation Committee based on
information regarding the Sponsor's and Participant's performance as of the date
of determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the AmSouth Bancorporation

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
Compensation Committee shall have the authority in its sole discretion to adjust
the amount of the bonus taken into consideration in the definition of Monthly
Earnings in this paragraph (a) for any and all Plan Years regardless of the fact
that the adjusted bonus is higher or lower than the bonus actually paid a
Participant under the Executive Incentive Plan.

     (b) For all other Participants to whom paragraph (a) above is inapplicable,
the benefits payable under the Supplemental Plan shall be equal to the excess,
if any, of (A) less (B) (the "Excess Benefits") where (A) is such Participant's
benefits as a Member of the Retirement Plan calculated without reference to any
provision of the Retirement Plan limiting the amount of benefits as provided by
Section 415 of the Code or limiting the amount of compensation taken into
account as provided by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code but using the definition
of "Monthly Earnings" (aside from any limitation of Code Section 401(a)(17)
contained therein) contained in the Retirement Plan, and (B) is the amount of
benefits actually payable under the Retirement Plan.

Section 3.02. Except as provided in Section 3.01 above, a Participant's Excess
- ------------
Benefits shall be calculated in the same manner regularly applied by the Sponsor
to all of the relevant terms and conditions of the Retirement Plan.

Section 3.03. A Participant's Excess Benefits shall be paid at the time, in the
- ------------
manner and to the person when, as and to whom or which the benefits payable to
or on behalf of the Participant as a Member of the Retirement Plan which give
rise to Participant's Excess Benefits are paid or in such manner otherwise
approved by the Board of Directors of the Sponsor. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, a Participant whose employment with AmSouth Bancorporation or an
Electing Employer terminates due to retirement, death or permanent disability
may elect to have his or her Excess Benefits paid in the form of an employee-
owned annuity contract or an equivalent lump sum payment.

either of them, and no amendment or discontinuation of the Supplemental Plan,
removal of a Participant or withdrawal by an Electing Employer shall deprive a
Participant of said accrued Excess Benefit.

Section 7.03. The Supplemental Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract
- ------------
between the Sponsor or the Electing Employer and any Participant or employee, or
to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant or
employee. Nothing contained in the Supplemental Plan shall be deemed to give any
Participant or employee the right to be retained in the service of the Sponsor
or Electing Employer or to interfere with the right of the Sponsor or Electing
Employer to discharge any Participant or employee at any time regardless of the
effect which such discharge shall or may have upon him under the Supplemental
Plan.

Section 7.04. None of the Participant's rights to Excess Benefits under the

discretion, may, but need not, direct such distribution to a legal or natural
guardian or other relative of such minor or court appointed committee of such
incompetent, or to any adult with whom such minor or incompetent temporarily or
permanently resides, and any such guardian, committee, relative or other person
shall have full authority and discretion to expend such distribution for the use
and benefit of such minor or incompetent. The receipt of such guardian,
committee, relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Sponsor
and Electing Employer without any responsibility on its part or on the part of
the Plan Administrator to see to the application thereof.

Section 7.07. In case any provision of the Supplemental Plan shall be held
- ------------
illegal or invalid for any reason or in any particular circumstance or instance,
such illegality or invalidity shall not affect its remaining parts in such
circumstance or instance nor the enforceability of such provision in any other
circumstance or instance and the Supplemental Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein

The Participant's Average Account Balance shall be multiplied by the Applicable
Interest Rate, and this product shall be added to or subtracted from the
Participant's Account. The Applicable Interest Rate shall be determined by
calculating the percentage (either positive or negative) obtained by dividing
the Participant's net earnings or losses of all funds in the Thrift Plan as of
the Valuation Date by the

                                     -10-
<PAGE>
 
Participant's average Thrift Plan balance. The Participant's average Thrift Plan
balance shall be calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the Participant's
total balance in the Thrift Plan as of the Valuation Date and (ii) the
Participant's total balance in the Thrift Plan as of the immediately preceding
Valuation Date, by (b) two.


5.3 FINANCING
The benefits under this Plan shall be paid out of the general assets of the
Employers. The benefits shall not be funded in advance of payment in any way. No
Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in any specific asset of any
Employer. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments
under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured
general creditor of any Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action
taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan, shall create a trust of any kind
or a fiduciary relationship between an Employer and any Participant or
Beneficiary or a right of continued employment for any Participant.



ARTICLE VI. DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 TERMINATION OF SERVICE
Upon a Participant's Termination of Service, the Participant shall be entitled
to the balance of his or her Account. This balance shall be paid to the
Participant in a lump sum cash payment within 90 days of the Valuation Date
immediately following the Participant's Termination of Service.


6.2 DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
If the Participant dies before the distribution of his or her Account, the
balance in the Account shall be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary in
a lump sum cash payment within 90 days of the Valuation Date immediately
following the Participant's death.


6.3 NO IN-SERVICE WITHDRAWALS
A Participant may not receive a distribution from his or her Account before
incurring a Termination of Service.



ARTICLE VII ADMINISTRATION


7.1 ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator
shall have all powers necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of

the Plan and the transaction of the Plan's business. The Plan Administrator
shall have absolute and complete discretionary authority to interpret and
administer the Plan and shall have the exclusive right to make any finding of
fact necessary or appropriate for any purpose under the Plan including, but not
limited to, the determination of eligibility for and amount of any benefit. The
Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive right to interpret the terms and
provisions of the Plan and to determine any and all questions arising under the
Plan or in connection with its administration, including, without limitation,
the right to remedy or resolve possible ambiguities, inconsistencies, or
omissions by general rule or particular decision, all in its sole and absolute
discretion. To the extent permitted by law, all finding of fact, determinations,
interpretations, and decisions of the Plan

<PAGE>
 
Administrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons having or
claiming to have any interest or right under the Plan. The Plan Administrator
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delegate any of its powers and duties
under this Plan to one or more individuals. In such a case, every reference in
the Plan to the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to include such matters
within their jurisdiction. The Plan Administrator shall have the right to
consult with attorneys and other advisors regarding its duties under this Plan,
which attorney and advisors may be employed by an Employer.


7.2 APPEALS FROM DENIAL OF CLAIMS
If any claim for benefits under the Plan is wholly or partially denied, the
claimant shall be given notice of the denial. This notice shall be in writing,
within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim by the Plan
Administrator. This period shall not exceed 90 days after receipt of the claim,
except that if special circumstances require an extension of time, written
notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant, and an additional 90
days will be considered reasonable.

This notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant and shall set forth the following information:

(a)  the specific reasons for the denial;

(b)  specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(c)  a description of any additional material or information necessary for the
   claimant to perfect the claim and an 

                                     -13-
<PAGE>
 
   explanation of why this material or information is necessary;

(d)  an explanation that a full and fair review by the Review Board of the
   decision denying the claim may be requested by the claimant or an authorized
   representative by filing with the Secretary of the Review Board, within 60
   days after the notice has been received, a written request for the review;
   and

(e)  if this request is so filed, an explanation that the claimant or an
   authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit issues
   and comments in writing within the same 60-day period specified in subsection
   (d).

The Review Board's actions shall be in accordance with Section 2.06 of the
   Thrift Plan.



7.3 TAX WITHHOLDING
The Employer may withhold from any payment under this Plan any federal, state,
or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the payment and
any sum the Employer may reasonably estimate as necessary to cover any taxes for
which it may be liable and that may be assessed with regard to the payment.


7.4 EXPENSES
All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the
   Employers.

later of (i) the effective date of this Plan as set forth in Section 1.1 or (ii)
the date of such Affiliate's affiliation with the Company.

8.2  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Company hereby reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at
any time and for any reason by action of the Board or the Compensation Committee
of the Board. However, no amendment or termination shall adversely affect the

or termination.







ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.2 DISTRIBUTION TO MINORS & INCOMPETENTS
In making any distribution to or for the benefit of any minor or incompetent

need not, direct such distribution to a legal or natural guardian or other
relative of such minor or court appointed committee of such incompetent, or to
any adult with whom such minor or incompetent temporarily or permanently
resides, and any such guardian, committee, relative or other person shall have
full authority and discretion to expend such distribution for the use and
benefit of such minor or incompetent. The receipt of such guardian, committee,
relative or other person shall be a complete discharge to the Company and any
Employer hereunder without any responsibility on its part or on the part of the
Plan Administrator to see to the application thereof.


9.3 SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid, the illegality
or invalidity shall not affect its remaining parts. The Plan shall be construed
