</TABLE>

    Nonperforming loans consist of impaired loans, other nonaccrual loans, and
certain restructured loans.  An impaired loan is a loan that management
believes the contractual amount due probably will not be collected.  Impaired
loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status.  Nonaccrual loans are loans
on which interest accruals have been discontinued due to the borrower's
financial difficulties.  Management may elect to continue the accrual of
interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to
recover principal balance and accrued interest.
   Generally, interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to
principal.  Once all principal has been received, additional payments are
recognized as interest income on a cash basis.  Total interest income
recognized on impaired loans was $141,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996.  The average balance of impaired loans for the same period was
approximately $8,649,000.  Total restructured impaired loans at March 31, 1996,
were $279,000.
    An allowance for loan losses is maintained for all impaired loans.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses related to non-impaired loans,
impaired loans, and for the total allowance for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, is summarized as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of First Tennessee National Corporation (First Tennessee)
for the three month period ended March 31, 1996, compared to the three month
period ended March 31, 1995.  To assist the reader in obtaining a better
understanding of First Tennessee and its performance, this discussion should be
read in conjunction with First Tennessee's unaudited consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report.  Additional
information including the 1995 financial statements, notes and management's
discussion is provided in the 1995 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $37.4 million, an increase of 8
percent over the $34.6 million earned in the first quarter of 1995.  For the
first quarters, earnings per share increased 10 percent to $.56 in 1996 from
$.51 per share in 1995. Return on average assets was 1.22 percent and return on
average equity was 17.27 percent for the first quarter of 1996 compared with
1.31 percent and 18.04 percent, respectively, for the same period in 1995.

During the first quarter of 1996, the company's board of directors approved a
two-for-one stock split.  For each share held, each shareholder of record as of
February 2, 1996, received one additional share of stock on February 16, 1996.
As a result of the stock split, the outstanding shares doubled to 67.2 million.
All share information has been adjusted for this split.

INCOME STATEMENT/BALANCE SHEET DISCUSSION

A. Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, also called fee income, grew 21 percent or $23.4 million
from the first quarter of 1995.  The rise in fee income resulted largely from
increases experienced in two specialty lines of business - the bond division
and mortgage banking.

The bond division achieved record fee income of $28.1 million during the
quarter, an increase of $9.7 million, or 53 percent, over the same period in
1995.  This increase resulted from non-bank customer base expansion; and a
resurgence in bank customer demand for securities resulting from lower loan
demand and the ability to restructure their portfolios due to an accounting
change which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Mortgage banking noninterest income increased $11.4 million, or 24 percent,
principally from an increase of 206 percent in origination volume, and growth
in the servicing portfolio of 42 percent.  Refinance activity increased from 10
percent of total originations in the first quarter of 1995 to 47 percent in the
first quarter of 1996.  The growth in fee income was lower due to secondary
marketing losses from the rise in interest rates experienced in the first
quarter of 1996 and a gain of $12 million from bulk sales of servicing during
the first quarter of 1995.

Fee income in cardholder and merchant processing increased $2.2 million, or 29
percent, from the expansion of new customer bases and relationships.  As a
result of the decrease in FDIC premiums, fee income from deposit transactions
and cash management was negatively impacted since this fee was no longer
collected from corporate and cash management customers.  Trust services also
showed a decline in fee income from 1995 to 1996.  However, an accounting
change made in the first quarter of 1995 from cash basis to accrual basis
distorts this growth rate.  For comparative purposes, using cash basis
accounting, the year over year fee income growth would have been 17 percent.

B. Net Interest Income

For the first quarter of 1996, net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent
basis, increased $13.3 million, or 14 percent, over the first quarter of 1995.
This increase was due to a larger balance sheet with increased levels of
earnings assets (13 percent) and a relatively flat net interest margin.

B.1. Balance Sheet Growth
Total assets increased $1.9 billion, or 17 percent, compared to March 31, 1995.
Period end net loans increased $687 million, or 10 percent; the mortgage
warehouse increased $726 million, or 176 percent; and investment securities 

<PAGE>   10
increased $80 million, or 4 percent.  The growth in the period end balance 
sheet was partially funded by a $439 million, or 8 percent increase, in
interest-bearing core deposits.  The balance sheet growth is attributable to
internal growth and the acquisitions of Peoples Commercial Services Corporation
(parent company of Peoples Bank in Senatobia, Mississippi acquired on April 1,
1995, with assets of $98 million at acquisition) and Financial Investment
Corporation (parent company of First National Bank of Springdale, in
Springdale, Arkansas acquired on October 1, 1995, with assets of $349 million
at acquisition).  Excluding these two acquisitions, net loans grew 7 percent
and interest-bearing core deposits grew 3 percent.

In comparing average balances, from first quarter 1995, total assets grew $1.6
billion, or 15 percent; net loans grew $791 million, or 12 percent, and
interest-bearing core deposits grew $406 million, or 7 percent.  Net commercial
loans grew $326 million, or 11 percent, and net consumer loans grew $277
million, or 12 percent.  This loan growth is reflective of strong economic
growth, with the state of Tennessee experiencing real gross state product of 4
percent during the past year.  Commercial loans represented 45 percent and
consumer loans represented 35 percent of total loans.  Credit card receivables
grew $58 million, or 13 percent, as a result of targeted marketing campaigns.
The permanent mortgage portfolio increased $69 million or 11 percent, and real
estate construction grew $62 million, or 33 percent.

With the increase in mortgage originations, average mortgage warehouse loans
held for sale increased $680 million, or 177 percent, from the first quarter of
1995.  This growth was funded by an increase of $752 million, or 33 percent, in
purchased funds from the first quarter of 1995.


B.2. Net interest margin
The net interest margin is affected by the activity levels and related funding
for First Tennessee's specialty lines of business (mortgage banking, bond
division, credit card, trust services, First Express - check clearing operation
and transaction processing), as these nonbank business lines typically produce
different margins from traditional retail/commercial banking activities.
Consequently, First Tennessee's consolidated margin cannot be readily compared
to that of other bank holding companies.

The mortgage warehouse balance almost tripled between the first quarters of
1995 and 1996, adding $6.1 million to net interest income in 1996 compared with
$3.6 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Because the spread between the
yields on mortgage loans temporarily in the warehouse and the related
short-term funding rates is significantly less than the comparable spread
earned in the retail/commercial bank, the consolidated margin was negatively
impacted 20 basis points in the first quarter of 1996 compared with 2 basis
points in the first quarter of 1995.

The bond division contributed $.8 million more to net interest income in 1996
than in 1995.  Because of its strategy to hedge inventory in the cash markets,
the bond division also tends to negatively impact the consolidated net interest
margin, since the net interest income is effectively eliminated on these
positions.  This negative impact was 11 basis points in the first quarter of
1996, an improvement from the negative 16 basis point impact in the first
quarter of 1995.

The  decline in the net interest margin in the other specialty lines of
business, as shown in the table below (Net Interest Margin Composition), came
from pricing pressures experienced in credit card, and the decreasing value of
demand deposits at First Express as a result of lower long term interest rates.

The retail/commercial bank margin improved from 4.01 percent in the first
quarter of 1995 to 4.22 percent in the first quarter of 1996.   In May of 1996,
the amortization of a $1 billion basis swap, executed in May of 1993 and
terminated at the beginning of 1995, will end.  With First Tennessee's existing
balance sheet mix, the current interest rate environment, and the costs
associated with the basis swap ending in May, the retail/commercial bank's
margin is expected to continue to improve throughout 1996.   Going forward, the
consolidated margin will continue to be influenced by the activity levels in
the specialty lines of business.

C. Provision for Loan Losses/Asset quality

The provision for loan losses increased $3.9 million to $8.0 million at March
31, 1996. The higher provision results from a return to a more normalized asset
quality position, and an increase in the level of allowance for loan losses
commensurate with current loan growth.  The allowance for loan losses to loans
was 1.56 percent at March 31, 1996, and 1.65 percent at March 31, 1995.  The
increase in past due loans reflects the overall trends in both permanent
mortgage and the consumer loan delinquencies, the change in the loan mix, and a
return to more normalized past due levels.  At March 31, 1996, First Tennessee
had no concentration of 10 percent or more of total loans in any single
industry.

D. Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 1996 increased $28.4
million, or 19 percent over the same period in 1995.  Employee compensation,
incentives, and benefits (staff expense) represented the majority of this
increase with growth of $19.6 million or 25 percent.  The increase in staff
expense came primarily from the volume-based businesses where commissions and
incentives increased 118 percent from the previous year.

<PAGE>   12
With higher origination volume and a larger servicing portfolio, expenses
related to amortization and hedging of mortgage servicing rights increased $6.3
million.  The increase in advertising and public relations primarily resulted
from selective marketing expansion in the credit card business line in response
to an increasingly competitive environment.  The decrease in the deposit
insurance premium reflects the decrease in the FDIC premium rate to zero at the
beginning of 1996.  The remaining expense in this category is the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) assessment on deposits that First Tennessee
acquired in 1992 and a small FDIC administrative fee.  Congress is discussing
various proposals to recapitalize SAIF in which a one-time assessment could
potentially be charged to all institutions with SAIF-insured deposits.  During
the quarter, approximately $2 million related to the back office consolidation
within mortgage banking was recognized.

To make year over year expense growth more comparable, if the FDIC premium, the
one-time acquisition costs in the first quarter of 1995, and the acquisitions
closed after first quarter 1995 are excluded, and all expenses related to
mortgage banking and the bond division are excluded, expenses grew 7 percent
between first quarter 1995 and 1996.

E. Capital

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996, was $883.0 million, an increase of $79.8
million, or 10 percent, from March 31, 1995.  As a result of stock repurchased
in the latter part of 1995, period end equity to assets declined from 7.36
percent to 6.89 percent (March 1995 to March 1996).  From time to time, the
company will evaluate the level of capital and take action designed to generate
or use the capital (i.e., acquisitions, stock buybacks, etc.) to maximize the
benefit to shareholders.  At March 31, 1996, the Corporation's Tier 1 capital
ratio was 8.68 percent, the Total capital ratio was 11.57 percent and the
Leverage ratio was 6.45 percent. On March 31, 1996, First Tennessee's bank
subsidiaries had sufficient capital to qualify as well-capitalized institutions
under the regulatory capital standards.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITY

In the normal course of business, First Tennessee is a party to financial
instruments that are not required to be reflected on a balance sheet.  First
Tennessee enters into transactions involving these instruments in order to meet
the financial needs of its customers and manage its own exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates.  These instruments are categorized into those
"Held or issued for purposes other than broker/dealer operations" and those
"Held or issued for broker/dealer operations" as noted in the Off-Balance Sheet
Financial Instruments table.
