FIRST AMERICAN CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the
banking industry.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in the
Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders. The quarterly consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim
periods. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the complete fiscal year.
(2) SECURITIES
Securities carried in the consolidated balance sheets at approximately
$1.46 billion, $1.05 billion, and $1.31 billion at September 30, 1994 and 1993
and December 31, 1993, respectively, were pledged to secure public and trust
deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
At September 30, 1994, gross unrealized gains and losses on securities
held to maturity were $1.8 million and $45.6 million, respectively, and gross
unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale were $.1 million
and $24.4 million, respectively.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires investments in equity
securities that have a readily determinable fair value and investments in debt
securities to be classified into three categories, as follows: held to
maturity debt securities, which are reported at amortized cost; trading
securities, which are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings; and securities available for sale, which are reported at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity. There
was no impact on the Corporation's 1993 consolidated net income as a result of
adoption of SFAS No. 115.
(3) NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets were as follows:

(5) LONG-TERM DEBT
On January 31, 1994, the Corporation redeemed the remaining balance of
approximately $13.6 million of its 7 5/8% debentures due in 2002, at a price of
101.22%.
On August 2, 1994, the Corporation borrowed $100 million from the Federal
Home Loan Bank. The advance has a maturity of three years and interest which
is payable and reprices monthly based on LIBOR. At September 30, 1994, the
interest rate was 4.925%.
(6) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which
requires the cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions to be
recognized on an accrual basis as employees perform services to earn such
benefits. The Corporation recognized this item during the first quarter of
1993 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, resulting in a
one-time non-cash charge of $17.5 million before taxes ($11.6 million after
taxes). This charge represents the discounted present value of expected future
retiree medical and death benefits attributable to employees' service rendered
prior to 1993.
Effective December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which requires employers
to recognize a liability for postemployment benefits under certain
circumstances. The Corporation's short-term and long-term disability benefits,
survivor income benefits, and certain other benefits are governed by this
statement. The Corporation recognized this item during fourth quarter 1993 as
a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, resulting in a
one-time non-cash charge of $2.0 million before taxes ($1.3 million after
taxes).

=============================================================================================================
</TABLE>
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires a change from the deferred method
of accounting for income taxes applying Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 11
to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the
asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for
income taxes, net of a $3.9 million valuation allowance, was a $12.8 million
benefit and is included in the cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principles in the 1993 consolidated income statement.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1993,
was $1.3 million. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, was a net decrease of $.9 million as a result
of continuing operations.
At September 30, 1994, deferred tax assets, net of a valuation allowance
of $.4 million, totalled $82.8 million and deferred tax liabilities totalled
$22.4 million, resulting in net deferred tax assets of $60.4 million.
Management believes that more likely than not, the deferred tax assets, net of
a valuation allowance, will be realized. The tax effects of temporary
differences that give rise to the significant portion of deferred tax assets at
September 30, 1994, include the allowance for loan losses ($51.5 million),
valuation of securities available for sale ($9.8 million), and postretirement
benefit obligation ($7.8 million). The tax effects of temporary differences
that give rise to deferred tax liabilities include plant and equipment ($5.6
million), direct lease financing ($8.9 million), and purchase accounting
adjustments ($2.4 million).
(8) LEGAL MATTERS
The Corporation and seven other financial institutions are defendants in a
class action lawsuit brought in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Tennessee.
The lawsuit alleges anti-trust, unconscionability, usury, and contract claims
arising out of the defendants' returned check charges. The asserted plaintiff
class consists of depositors who have been charged returned check or overdraft
fees. The plaintiffs are requesting compensatory and punitive damages of $25
million against each defendant. The anti-trust, unconscionability, and usury
claims were previously dismissed, and in December 1993 the Circuit Court
granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the remaining
claim. The plaintiffs have appealed. In addition, an antitrust lawsuit
alleging a price fixing conspiracy has been filed against the Corporation and
eight other financial institutions by the plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Tennessee. The defendant banks' motion for summary
judgment in the Federal action was also granted and the plaintiffs have
appealed. Management believes these suits are without merit and, based upon
information currently known and on advice of counsel, that they will not have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Also, there are from time to time other legal proceedings pending against
the Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management and
counsel, liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings presently pending
would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation.

(9) ACQUISITION
On April 1, 1994, the Corporation consummated its purchase of all of the
outstanding shares of Fidelity Crossville Corp. (FCC), the parent company of
First Fidelity Savings Bank, F.S.B. (First Fidelity) located in Crossville,
Tennessee, for $6.5 million. First Fidelity was a Federal stock savings bank
with offices in Crossville and Fairfield Glade with total assets of $48.7
million at that date. In conjunction with the acquisition, First Fidelity was
merged into First American National Bank and First Fidelity's two offices
became branches of First American National Bank. The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase.
(10) ACCOUNTING MATTERS
During May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. SFAS No. 114 requires that
impaired loans be measured at 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. At this time, the Corporation is evaluating when and how it will
adopt SFAS No. 114. Adoption of SFAS No. 114 is not expected to have a
material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
(11) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share amounts are computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each respective
period.

<PAGE> 12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and supplementary data appearing within this
report. Reference should also be made to the Corporation's 1993 Annual Report
for a complete discussion of factors that impact results of operations,
liquidity, and capital.
HIGHLIGHTS
Net income for the third quarter of 1994 was $22.7 million or $.87 per
share compared with $27.7 million or $1.07 per share for the third quarter of
1993. For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, net income was $66.7
million or $2.56 per share compared with $72.4 million or $2.80 per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 1993. Net income for the first nine months
of 1993 included $1.2 million or $.05 per share for the cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principles. Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" and SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Income before the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles for the nine months ended
September 30, 1993, was $71.2 million or $2.75 per share.
The $5.0 million decline in third quarter 1994 earnings compared to the
same time last year was primarily due to the zero provision for loan losses in
the current quarter compared to the negative $10.0 million provision in the
third quarter of 1993. Third quarter 1994 earnings also included a $.4 million
increase in non-interest expense, a $3.0 million increase in net interest
income and a $.6 million increase in non-interest income. Exclusive of the
$10.0 million negative provision for loan losses, net of tax, net income for
the third quarter of 1993 was $21.2 million compared to $22.7 million in the
third quarter of 1994.
The $5.7 million decrease in net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, compared to the same period last year was primarily due to
the zero provision for loan losses for the current period compared to the $18.0
million negative provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1993. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, also included a $4.8
million increase in non-interest expense, a $10.1 million improvement in net
interest income and an $8.4 million increase in non-interest income. Exclusive
of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and the $18.0
million negative provision for loan losses, net of tax, net income for the
first nine months of 1993 was $59.6 million compared to $66.7 million in the
first nine months of 1994.
On April 1, 1994, the Corporation consummated its purchase of all of the
outstanding shares of Fidelity Crossville Corp. (FCC), the parent company of
First Fidelity Savings Bank, F.S.B.(First Fidelity) located in Crossville,
Tennessee, for $6.5 million. First Fidelity was a Federal stock savings bank
with offices in Crossville and Fairfield Glade with total assets of $48.7
million at that date. In conjunction with the acquisition, First Fidelity was
merged into First American National Bank and First Fidelity's two offices
became branches of First American National Bank. The transaction was accounted
for as a purchase.
On October 1, 1993, the Corporation completed its acquisition of First
Federal Savings and Loan Association of Bowling Green for $27.5 million. First
Federal was a federally-chartered stock savings association with three branches
in Southern Kentucky with total assets of $214 million. In conjunction with
the acquisition, First Federal was converted to a national bank and was renamed
First American National Bank of Kentucky (FANBKY). The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase.
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets of the Corporation rose $612.1 million or 9% to $7.37 billion
at September 30, 1994, compared to $6.76 billion one year earlier. The growth
in total assets is primarily due to a $792.6 million (20%) increase in loans,
net of unearned discount and net deferred loan fees, to $4.70 billion at
September 30, 1994, from $3.91 billion at September 30, 1993. From September
30, 1993 to September 30, 1994, total consumer loans increased $389.4 million
or 22% and commercial loans increased $373.3 million or 21%. Contributing to
the increase in loans were the acquisitions of FANBKY on October 1, 1993, and
First Fidelity on April 1, 1994, which had loans of $164.1 million and $35.0
million, respectively, on the acquisition dates. Excluding these acquisitions,
loans increased $593.5 million or 15%. Partially offsetting
<PAGE> 13
the increase in loans was a decrease in Federal funds sold and securities
purchased under agreements to resell of $207.4 million or 72%.
Total deposits were $5.77 billion at September 30, 1994, an increase of
$375.5 million or 7% from $5.40 billion a year earlier. The increase in
deposits is primarily due to the acquisitions of FANBKY and First Fidelity,
which had deposits of $185.5 million and $45.0 million, respectively, on the
acquisition dates. Excluding these acquisitions, deposits increased $145.0
million or 3%. Core deposits, which are defined as total deposits excluding
certificates of deposit $100,000 and over and foreign deposits, totalled $5.29
billion at September 30, 1994, an increase of $249.8 million or 5% from a year
earlier.
Total shareholders' equity was $596.9 million or 8.10% of total assets at
September 30, 1994, as compared with $533.8 million or 7.90% of total assets at
September 30, 1993. Book value per share was $22.84, $20.56, and $22.38 for
September 30, 1994 and 1993 and December 31, 1993, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The Corporation's primary source of earnings is net interest income, which
is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest
expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is
affected by the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the respective yields earned and rates paid. The Corporation's
1993 Annual Report includes additional discussion of factors which impact net
interest income.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis amounted to $70.2
million for the third quarter of 1994, compared to $67.2 million for the third
quarter of 1993, an increase of $3.0 million or 4%. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in the volume of earning assets partially offset by a lower
net interest spread, which is the difference between the yield on earning
assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Average earning
assets increased 8% to $6.62 billion in the third quarter of 1994 from $6.11
billion in the third quarter of 1993. Average loans increased $741.3 million
(19%) while average securities decreased $151.2 million (7%). For the third
quarter of 1994, the Corporation's net interest spread declined 22 basis points
to 3.54% from 3.76% for the third quarter of 1993. This decline was due
primarily to a 33 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities which exceeded the 11 basis point increase in yields on earning
assets. As the net interest spread declined, the net interest margin, which is
net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets,
decreased to 4.21% for the third quarter of 1994 as compared with 4.37% for the
same quarter a year earlier.
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis amounted to $210.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared to $200.7
million from the nine months ended September 30, 1993, an increase of $9.9
million or 5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of
earning assets partially offset by a lower net interest spread. Average
earning assets increased 8% to $6.56 billion in the first nine months of 1994
from $6.07 billion in the first nine months of 1993. Average loans increased
$687.7 million (18%) while average securities decreased $154.5 million (7%).
For the first nine months of 1994, the Corporation's net interest spread
declined 18 basis points to 3.66% from 3.84% for the first nine months of 1993.
This decrease resulted from a combination of an eight basis point decrease in
rates earned on earning assets and a ten basis point increase in the rates paid
on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin decreased to 4.29%
for the first nine months of 1994 as compared with 4.42% for the same period a
year earlier.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE
The provision for loan losses represents a charge (credit) to earnings
necessary, after loan charge-offs and recoveries, to maintain the allowance for
possible loan losses at an appropriate level to absorb estimated losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the appropriate level of the
allowance and the amount of the provision for loan losses involves
uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. The Corporation's 1993 Annual Report includes additional discussion
of factors which impact the allowance for possible loan losses.
During the third quarter of 1994 there was a zero provision made for loan
losses, compared to a $10.0 million negative (credit) provision recorded in the
third quarter of 1993. Non-accrual loans totalled $14.1 million at September
30, 1994, a 56% decrease from the $32.1 million balance a year earlier. In the
third quarters of 1994 and 1993, charge-offs were $3.4 million and $6.6 million
while recoveries totalled $4.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Net
recoveries were $.8 million in the third quarter of 1994 as compared to $.1
million in the third quarter of 1993.
<PAGE> 14
During the first nine months of 1994 there was a zero provision made for
loan losses, compared to an $18.0 million negative (credit) provision recorded
in the first nine months of 1993. In the first nine months of 1994 and 1993,
charge-offs were $10.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively, while
recoveries amounted to $13.7 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Net
recoveries were $3.1 million in the first nine months of 1994 as compared to
$5.4 million of net charge-offs in the first nine months of 1993.
The allowance for possible loan losses was $137.6 million at September 30,
1994, compared with $157.7 million at September 30, 1993. The allowance for
possible loan losses represented 2.93% and 4.04% of net loans at September 30,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income was $25.0 million for the third quarter of 1994
compared with $24.3 million for the third quarter of 1993, an increase of $.7
million or 3%. The increase from the third quarter of 1993 is principally from
growth in service charges on deposit accounts ($1.2 million, a 12% increase)
and merchant discount fees ($.3 million, a 17% increase). These increases in
non-interest income were partially offset by a decline in investment services
income ($1.2 million, a 51% decrease) primarily attributable to a decrease in
the sale of annuities.
Total non-interest income was $74.7 million for the first nine months of
1994 compared with $66.4 million for the first nine months of 1993, an increase
of $8.3 million or 13%. Excluding gains and losses on sales of securities
available for sale, non-interest income increased $6.3 million or 9%. This
increase from the first nine months of 1993 is primarily attributable to growth
in service charges on deposit accounts ($2.4 million, an 8% increase);
commissions and fees on fiduciary activities ($1.0 million, a 9% increase); and
"other income" ($3.0 million, an 18% increase). The increase in "other income"
consists primarily of $2.1 million of income in excess of prior year amounts
from a gain from a leveraged lease buy-out, vendor incentives and insurance
commissions.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense was $58.6 million for the third quarter of 1994
compared with $58.2 million for the same period in 1993, a 1% increase.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.6 million or 12% from the same
period in 1993 due to merit increases, incentive compensation, higher employee
benefit costs, and additional employees resulting from the transfer of certain
computer programming functions to the Corporation and acquisitions of FANBKY
and First Fidelity. Non-personnel related expense decreased $3.1 million or
11% from the third quarter of 1993 principally from a $3.9 million decrease in
foreclosed properties expense, which resulted from gains on sales of foreclosed
properties in the third quarter of 1994 compared to losses in the prior
comparable period. Systems and processing expense declined $1.2 million from
the third quarter of 1993 due to amendments in March 1994 to the Corporation's
agreement with an outside vendor that provides data processing and
telecommunication services. The agreement was amended to transfer certain
software programming functions to the Corporation which has resulted in
increased control over programming functions, cost savings in systems and
processing expense, and increases in other non-interest expense categories,
such as salaries and benefits. The Corporation's operating efficiency ratio
(non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income, on a
fully taxable basis, and non-interest income) improved to 61.60% in the third
quarter of 1994 from 63.57% in the third quarter of 1993.
Total non-interest expense was $175.6 million for the first nine months of
1994 compared with $170.8 million for the same period in 1993, a 3% increase.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $9.2 million or 10% from the same
period in 1993, which is reflective of merit increases, incentive compensation,
higher employee benefit costs, and additional employees from the transfer of
certain computer programming functions to the Corporation and acquisitions of
FANBKY and First Fidelity. Non-personnel related expense decreased $4.4
million or 5% from the first nine months of 1993 principally as a result of a
$2.6 million decrease in systems and processing expense and a $2.8 million
decrease in foreclosed properties expense. The Corporation's operating
efficiency ratio improved to 61.55% in the first nine months of 1994 from
63.95% in the first nine months of 1993.
Excluding third quarter 1994 non-interest expenses of $1.4 million
attributable to FANBKY and First Fidelity, total non-interest expense decreased
$1.0 million or 2% compared to the third quarter of 1993. Excluding
non-interest expenses for the first nine months of 1994 of $4.0 million
attributable to FANBKY and First Fidelity, total non-interest expense increased
$.8 million or just under 1% compared to the first nine months of 1993.
<PAGE> 15
INCOME TAXES
During the third quarters of 1994 and 1993, the Corporation's income tax
expense was $13.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively. During the first
nine months of 1994 and 1993, income tax expense totalled $40.4 million and
$40.3 million, respectively. Income tax expense for 1993 included a $1.7
million benefit resulting from the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
signed into law in the third quarter of 1993.
ASSET QUALITY
Nonperforming assets of the Corporation were $27.6 million at September
30, 1994, compared with $57.7 million at September 30, 1993, a decrease of 52%.
Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1994, represented .59% of total loans and
foreclosed properties, compared to 1.47% at September 30, 1993. At September
30, 1994, nonperforming assets were comprised of $14.1 million of non-accrual
loans and $13.5 million of foreclosed properties.
Other potential problem loans consist of loans that are not considered
nonperforming currently but where information about possible credit problems
has caused the Corporation to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to
comply fully with present repayment terms. At September 30, 1994, loans
totalling approximately $78 million, while not considered nonperforming loans,
were classified in the Corporation's internal loan grading system as
substandard or worse, compared with approximately $91 million of such loans at
September 30, 1993. Depending on the economy and other future events, these
loans and others which may not be presently identified could become future
nonperforming assets.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND LIQUIDITY
In the third quarter of 1994, the Corporation declared cash dividends on
its common stock of $.21 per share compared to $.15 per share in the third
quarter of 1993, a 40% increase. Cash dividends for the first nine months of
1994 were $.63 versus $.40 in the first nine months of 1993, a 58% increase.
The Federal Reserve Board and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC) regulations require that, in order to be considered adequately
capitalized, bank holding companies and national banks maintain a minimum total
risk-based capital ratio (total capital to risk-adjusted assets) of 8.0%, a
Tier I risk-based capital ratio (Tier I capital to risk-adjusted assets) of
4.0%, and a Tier I leverage capital ratio (Tier I capital to total assets less
excluded intangibles) of 4.0%. In order to be considered well capitalized the
total risk-based capital ratio must be a minimum of 10%, the Tier I risk-based
capital ratio must equal or exceed 6%, and the Tier I leverage capital ratio
must be 5% or greater. At September 30, 1994, the Corporation had a total
risk-based capital ratio of 12.41%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of
10.26%, and a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 7.96%. At September 30, 1994,
these ratios for First American National Bank, the Corporation's principal
subsidiary, were 11.06%, 9.80%, and 7.66%, respectively.
Liquidity management consists of maintaining sufficient cash levels to
fund operations and to meet the requirements of borrowers, depositors, and
creditors. Liquid assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, money
market instruments, and securities that will mature within one year, amounted
to $.7 billion and $1.15 billion at September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The estimated average maturity of securities was 5.0 years and 3.4 years at
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The overall liquidity position of
the Corporation is further enhanced by a high proportion of core deposits,
which provide a stable funding base. Core deposits comprised 92% of total
deposits at September 30, 1994 versus 93% at September 30, 1993.
On December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 115. Included
within total securities classified as available for sale at that time were
$203.8 million of securities classified as such due to regulatory restrictions
even though the Corporation had the intent and ability to hold such securities
to maturity. Upon a regulatory revision in the second quarter of 1994 which
allowed those securities to be classified as held to maturity, the Corporation
transferred such securities from available for sale to held to maturity. At
the time of transfer, the securities had an unrealized loss of $1.0 million
($.6 million net of taxes). In accordance with SFAS No. 115, such unrealized
loss was retained as a component of shareholders' equity and is being amortized
over the remaining lives of the securities.
On January 31, 1994, the Corporation redeemed the remaining balance of
approximately $13.6 million of its 7 5/8% debentures due in 2002, at a price of
101.22%. During the first quarter of 1993, the Corporation filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue
$100 million of subordinated debt securities. During the second quarter of
1993, the Corporation issued $50 million of subordinated notes with an interest
rate of 6 7/8% under the shelf registration statement and used a portion of the
proceeds for the acquisition of FANBKY.
<PAGE> 16
The Corporation entered into a three-year revolving credit agreement
effective March 31, 1994, which provides for loans of up to $35 million. On
May 31, 1994, the revolving credit agreement was amended to increase the loans
available to $50 million from $35 million. The Corporation had no revolving
credit borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1994, or during the nine months
then ended.
During the third quarter of 1994 the Corporation borrowed $100 million
from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The advance has a maturity of three years
and interest which is payable and reprices monthly based on LIBOR. At
September 30, 1994, the interest rate was 4.925%.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Corporation utilizes off-balance-sheet ("derivative") products in
managing its interest rate risk exposure. The use of these derivative products
is intended to reduce the Corporation's vulnerability to changes in the
interest rate environment. Balance-sheet hedging vehicles are linked and bear
a correlation to assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. By using
derivative products such as interest rate swaps and futures contracts, the
derivative products offset fluctuations in net interest income from the
otherwise unhedged position. In other words, if net interest income from the
otherwise unhedged position changes (increases or decreases) by a given amount,
the derivative product should result in close to the opposite result, making
the combined amount (otherwise unhedged position impact plus the derivative
product position impact) essentially unchanged. Derivative products enable the
Corporation to improve its balance between interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities by managing interest rate exposure, while
continuing to meet the lending and deposit needs of its customers.
Credit risk exposure due to off-balance-sheet hedging is closely
monitored, and counterparts to these contracts are selected on the basis of
their credit worthiness, as well as their market-making ability.
The Corporation enters into interest rate caps, floors, options, and
forward and futures contracts for its asset/liability management program.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on such instruments which are
designated as effective hedges of interest rate exposure are deferred and
recognized as interest income or interest expense over the covered periods or
lives of the hedged assets or liabilities.
The Corporation also enters into interest rate swap and basis swap
transactions in connection with its asset/liability management program in
managing interest rate exposure. The impact of interest rate swaps and basis
swaps is accrued based on expected settlement payments and is recorded as an
adjustment to interest income and expense over the life of the related
agreements.
In conjunction with managing interest rate exposure, at September 30,
1994, the Corporation had interest rate swaps and basis swaps with notional
values totaling $1.2 billion and futures with notional values aggregating $.3
billion. At September 30, 1994, these derivative products had unrealized net
pre-tax gains of $13.7 million. As of September 30, 1994, swap transactions
were entered into with counterparts with credit ratings of A2 or higher. At
September 30, 1993, the Corporation had interest rate swaps and basis swaps

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Corporation and seven other financial institutions are
defendants in a class action lawsuit brought in the Circuit
Court of Shelby County, Tennessee. The lawsuit alleges
anti-trust, unconscionability, usury, and contract claims
arising out of the defendants' returned check charges. The
asserted plaintiff class consists of depositors who have been
charged returned check or overdraft fees. The plaintiffs are
requesting compensatory and punitive damages of $25 million
against each defendant. The anti-trust, unconscionability, and
usury claims were previously dismissed, and in December 1993
the Circuit Court granted the defendants' motion for summary
judgment and dismissed the remaining claim. The plaintiffs
have appealed. In addition, an antitrust lawsuit alleging a
price fixing conspiracy has been filed against the Corporation
and eight other financial institutions by the plaintiffs in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The
defendant banks' motion for summary judgment in the Federal
action was also granted and the plaintiffs have appealed.
Management believes these suits are without merit and, based
upon information currently known and on advice of counsel, that
they will not have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Also, there are from time to time other legal proceedings
pending against the Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the
opinion of management and counsel, liabilities, if any, arising
from such proceedings presently pending would not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation.

Exhibit 15. Letter regarding unaudited interim financial information from KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP
The Board of Directors
First American Corporation:
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of First American Corporation
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
1993. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with 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, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the 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 balance sheet of First American Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993; and the related consolidated statements
of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 21, 1994, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Our report refers to changes in accounting principles related to the adoption
in 1993 of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes; No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions; No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits; and No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
