NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options are regarded as potential common shares. Potential common shares are computed using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, 73,626 options are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities because they are anti-dilutive; 30,485 options are similarly excluded from the effect of dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s operating segments include banking, mortgage banking, consumer finance, automobile lending and title insurance. The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, and internal reporting. Loans, investments and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation; loans and fees provide the revenues in consumer finance, mortgage banking and insurance commissions provide revenues for the title insurance company. Consumer finance, automobile lending and title insurance do not meet the quantitative threshold on an individual basis, and are therefore shown below in “Other Segments”. Mortgage banking operations are included in “Bank”.   All operations are domestic.
 
Segment performance is evaluated using net interest income and noninterest income. Income taxes are allocated based on income before income taxes, and indirect expenses (includes management fees) are allocated based on time spent for each segment. Transactions among segments are made at fair value. Information reported internally for performance assessment follows.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB statement No. 109 (“the Interpretation”).  This Interpretation provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized approximately an $800 decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits   which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. 
 
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption of FIN 48 was approximately $475.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate at the date of adoption of FIN 48 was approximately $475. Of this total, the entire $475, net of the federal benefit on state issues, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in a future quarter of 2007.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense.  At the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company had recognized approximately $150 for the payment of interest and penalties. 
 
In the future, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease  for various reasons including adding amounts for current tax year positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the statutes of limitations, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty, status of examinations, litigation and legislative activity and the addition or elimination of uncertain tax positions.   The Company is not aware of any uncertain tax positions, other than those disclosed, for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.  
 
The Company’s Federal returns are open and subject to examination for the years of 2003 and 2005.  The Company's State returns are open and subject to examination for the years of 2003, 2004, and 2005. 


NOTE 7 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
 
On May 18, 2007, the Company merged with and thereby acquired Civitas Bank Group, Inc. (“CVBG”), parent of Cumberland Bank, with the Company being the surviving entity.  CVBG headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, operated 12 full-service branches in the middle Tennessee area.  The primary reason for the acquisition of CVBG and the premium paid, was to provide accelerated entry for the Company in the Middle Tennessee area in some of the fastest growing areas in the Nashville MSA.  Operating results of CVBG are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.  

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon preliminary estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price was $164,268, including $45,793 in cash, $118,475 in the Company’s common stock.  The allocation of the purchase price is subject to changes in the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Identified intangible assets and purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods over the expected lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities.  Goodwill will not be amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.   Currently, identified intangible assets from the acquisition subject to amortization are $8,740 and total goodwill from the acquisition is $111,591.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Green Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is the bank holding company for GreenBank (the “Bank”), a Tennessee-chartered commercial bank that conducts the principal business of the Company.  The Company is the second largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee based on asset size and the largest NASDAQ Listed Bank Holding Company headquartered in Tennessee.  The Bank currently maintains a main office in Greeneville, Tennessee and 62 full-service bank branches primarily in East and Middle Tennessee.  In addition to its commercial banking operations, the Bank conducts separate businesses through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Superior Financial Services, Inc. (“Superior Financial”), a consumer finance company; GCB Acceptance Corporation (“GCB Acceptance”), a automobile lending company; and Fairway Title Co., a title company formed in 1998. The Bank also operates a wealth management office in Sumner County, Tennessee, and a mortgage banking operation in Knox County, Tennessee.  All dollar amounts reported or discussed in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are shown in thousands, except share and per share amounts and percentages.
 
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the (i) condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this Form 10-Q and (ii) the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 10-K”). Except for specific historical information, many of the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may express or imply projections of revenues or expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, expected future economic performance, or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation. These and similar statements regarding events or results which the Company expects will or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results and performance of the Company to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. All forward-looking information is provided pursuant to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors.

General
 
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 16, 2007, the shareholders approved changing the name of the Company from Greene County Bancshares to Green Bankshares, Inc., to complement the name of the Company’s principal banking subsidiary, GreenBank which was introduced in January 2007. GreenBank has become the name for the Company's banks system-wide.  Previously, the banks operated under 18 distinct names, although under one common Charter.  Management believed that a corresponding change in the Company's corporate identity, to Green Bankshares, Inc., would further strengthen its bank brand and the fundamental conveniences offered by its network of branch offices.  In connection with the name change, Green Bankshares also changed its NASDAQ ticker symbol to GRNB.  

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders also approved the Company’s acquisition of Civitas Bank Group, Inc. (“CVBG”), headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee and the holding company for Cumberland Bank.  That acquisition was completed two days later on May 18, 2007,

Growth and Business Strategy
 
The Company expects that, over the intermediate term, its growth from mergers and acquisitions, including acquisitions of both entire financial institutions and selected branches of financial institutions, will continue. De novo branching is also expected to be a method of growth, particularly in high-growth and other demographically-desirable markets.

The Company’s strategic plan projects geographic expansion within a 300-mile radius of its headquarters in Greene County, Tennessee. This could result in the Company expanding westward and eastward up to and including Nashville, Tennessee and Roanoke, Virginia, respectively, east/southeast up to and including the Piedmont area of North Carolina and western North Carolina, southward to northern Georgia and northward into eastern and central Kentucky. In particular, the Company believes the markets in and around Knoxville, Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee are highly desirable areas with respect to expansion and growth plans.

The Bank had historically operated under a single bank charter while conducting business under 18 bank brands.  On January 23, 2007 the Bank announced that it was changing all brand names to GreenBank throughout all the communities it serves to better enhance recognition and customer convenience. The GreenBank name became effective on March 31, 2007. The Bank continues to offer local decision making through the presence of its regional executives in each of its markets, while maintaining a cost effective organizational structure in its back office and support areas.

The Bank focuses its lending efforts predominately on individuals and small to medium-sized businesses while it generates deposits primarily from individuals in its local communities. To aid in deposit generation efforts, the Bank offers its customers extended hours of operation during the week as well as on Saturday. During the first quarter of 2007, the Bank initiated Sunday banking hours from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Bank also offers free online banking and in early 2005 established its High Performance Checking Program which it has generated a significant number of new core transaction accounts.

In addition to the Company’s business model, which is summarized in the paragraphs above, the Company is continuously investigating and analyzing other lines and areas of business.  These include, but are not limited to, various types of insurance and real estate activities. Conversely, the Company frequently evaluates and analyzes the profitability, risk factors and viability of its various business lines and segments and, depending upon the results of these evaluations and analyses, may conclude to exit certain segments and/or business lines. Further, in conjunction with these ongoing evaluations and analyses, the Company may decide to sell, merge or close certain branch facilities.
 
Overview
 
The Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, reflected an increase in net interest income due primarily to organic loan growth, higher interest rates in 2007 resulting from the 2006 actions of the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) and the Company’s continued expansion initiatives, including the CVBG acquisition.  This increase in net interest income was offset, in part, by increases in noninterest expense from the Company’s expansion initiatives.
 
15

Reflecting improved credit quality offset in part by strong loan growth, the Company’s provision for loan losses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2007 by $75 compared to the same period in 2006. The provision for loan loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $15 from the same period in 2006, reflecting strong loan growth offset in part by improved credit quality.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had total consolidated assets of $2,927,298, total consolidated deposits of $2,069,749, total consolidated loans, net of unearned interest, of $2,327,149 and total consolidated shareholders' equity of $311,405.  The Company's annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 11.25% and 11.53%, respectively, and its annualized return on average total assets was 1.21% and 1.23%, respectively. The primary reason for the Company’s increase in total assets, total consolidated deposits, total consolidated loans, net of unearned interest and total shareholders' equity was the completion of the CVBG acquisition in the second quarter of 2007.  The Company expects the Balance Sheet to continue to grow over the remainder of 2007, although at a lesser rate, as a result of its expansion efforts and branch expansion in the Knoxville area, Loudon County, City of Kingsport and City of Johnson City markets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.

Management continually evaluates the Company’s accounting policies and estimates it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements.  In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, information from regulators and third party professionals and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the existing facts and circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

The Company believes its critical accounting policies and estimates include the valuation of the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of financial instruments and other accounts.  Based on management’s calculation, an allowance of $32,935, or 1.42%, of total loans, net of unearned interest, was an adequate estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2007.  This estimate resulted in a provision for loan losses in the income statement of $1,259 and $2,233, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.  If the economic conditions, loan mix and amount of future charge-off percentages differ significantly from those assumptions used by management in making its determination, the allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses on the income statement could be materially affected.
 
The consolidated financial statements include certain accounting disclosures that require management to make estimates about fair values. Independent third party valuations are used for securities available for sale and securities held to maturity as well as acquisition purchase accounting adjustments. Estimates of fair value are used in the accounting for loans held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets.  Estimates of fair values are used in disclosures regarding stock compensation, commitments, and the fair values of financial instruments. Fair  values  are  estimated  using  relevant  market information and other assumptions  such  as  interest  rates,  credit risk, prepayments and other factors.  The fair values of financial instruments are subject to change as influenced by market conditions.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, however, based upon information currently available, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company reviews outstanding claims and proceedings internally and with external counsel as necessary to assess probability of loss and for the ability to estimate loss. These assessments are re-evaluated each quarter, or as new information becomes available, to determine whether a reserve should be established or if any existing reserve should be adjusted. The actual cost of resolving a claim or proceeding ultimately may be substantially different than the amount of the recorded reserve.  In addition, because it is not permissible under GAAP to establish a litigation reserve until the loss is both probable and estimable, in some cases there may be insufficient time to establish a reserve prior to the actual incurrence of the loss (upon verdict and judgment at trial, for example, or in the case of a quickly negotiated settlement).

Changes in Results of Operations

Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $7,086, as compared to $5,483 for the same period in 2006. This increase of $1,603, or 29%, resulted primarily from a $5,160, or 29%, increase in net interest income reflecting higher earning asset volume arising primarily from the CVBG acquisition and organic growth in the loan portfolio. Offsetting this increase was a $4,030, or 32%, increase in total noninterest expense from $12,679 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $16,709 for the same period of 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to the increased normal operating costs associated with the CVBG acquisition along with incurring approximately $450 of merger related assimilation costs.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $12,702 compared to $10,579 for the same period in 2006.  The increase of $2,123, or 20%, reflects substantially the same trends that existed during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Net Interest Income.  The largest source of earnings for the Company is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The primary factors which affect net interest income are changes in volume and rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which are affected in part by management’s responses to changes in interest rates through asset/liability management. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income was $22,933, as compared to $17,773 for the same period in 2006, representing an increase of 29%. 

The Company’s average balance for interest-earning assets increased 42% from $1,486,031 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $2,117,358 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company experienced a 38% growth in average loan balances from $1,426,984 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $1,962,127 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and a 182% growth in average investment securities balances from $54,571for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $154,110 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The growth in loans and investment securities can be attributed to the CVBG acquisition that took place during the second quarter of 2007 and the continued organic loan growth of the Company.  Please refer to Note 7 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information on interest-earning assets acquired in the CVBG acquisition.

The Company’s average balance for interest-bearing liabilities increased 46% from $1,288,822 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $1,878,737 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company experienced a 39% growth in average interest-bearing deposits from $1,130,840 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to $1,567,701 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s CVBG acquisition in the second quarter is the primary reason for the growth in deposits. Please refer to Note 7 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information on interest-bearing liabilities acquired in the CVBG acquisition.

The Company’s yield on loans (the largest component of interest-earning assets) increased by 30 basis points from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily a result of the escalating market rates driven by changes enacted by the FOMC during the first and second quarters of 2006:

The Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 68 basis points from the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 to the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. The cost of raising deposits and other borrowed funds were influenced by both local market conditions as well as FOMC actions as well as the higher cost interest-bearing liabilities assumed in the CVBG acquisition.  Management believes that these costs were prudently managed during this volatile interest rate cycle.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income increased by $6,795, or 19%, to $41,754 from $34,959 for the same period in 2006, and the same trends outlined above with respect to the three months ended June 30, 2007 were observed.

1 Average loan balances included nonaccrual loans.  Interest income collected on nonaccrual loans has been included.

2 Fully Taxable Equivalent (“FTE”) at the rate of 35%. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
 
3The interest expense and average interest rates paid on the Subordinated Debentures for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007 should have been $938 and $1,206 and 7.37% and 7.53%, respectively.  The impact of this timing difference on the 2007 second quarter and six month results was deemed immaterial to the overall financial statements.

1 Average loan balances included nonaccrual loans.  Interest income collected on nonaccrual loans has been included.

2 Fully Taxable Equivalent (“FTE”) at the rate of 35%. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
 
3The interest expense and average interest rates paid on the Subordinated Debentures for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007 should have been $938 and $1,206 and 7.37% and 7.53%, respectively.  The impact of this timing difference on the 2007 second quarter and six month results was deemed immaterial to the overall financial statements.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, loan charge-offs were $755 and $1,412, respectively and recoveries of charged-off loans were $477 and $790, respectively. The Company’s provision for loan losses increased by $15, or 1%, to $1,259 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $1,244 for the same period in 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 the provision decreased $75, or 3%, to $2,233 from $2,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased by $10,633 to $32,935 at June 30, 2007 from $22,302 at December 31, 2006, the primary reason for the increase being the acquired allowance for loan losses of $9,022 from the CVBG acquisition.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned interest, remained relatively constant at 1.42% at June 30, 2007 compared to 1.45% and 1.45% at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.  As of June 30, 2007, indicators of credit quality, as discussed below, have improved compared to December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. Management continually evaluates the Company’s credit policies and procedures for effective risks and controls management.  The Company’s trend in asset quality improvement is attributable to maintaining strong underwriting policies and management controls in a highly competitive market environment.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 674.48%, 635.93% and 426.84% at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.20%, 0.29% and 0.47% at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans, net of unearned interest, was 0.21%, 0.23% and 0.34% at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.  Within the Bank, the Company’s largest subsidiary, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.17%, 0.24% and 0.43% at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.    

The Company’s year-to-date (“YTD”) net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans improved from 0.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 0.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.20% for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Within the Bank, YTD net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans decreased from 0.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 0.01% for the same period in 2007. Net charge-offs within the Bank as a percentage of average loans were 0.14% for the year ended December 31, 2006.  YTD net charge-offs in Superior Financial for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $49 compared to actual net charge-offs of $159 for the year ended December 31, 2006. YTD net charge-offs in GCB Acceptance for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $448 compared to actual net charge-offs of $744 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Although credit quality trends continue to improve, management continually evaluates the existing portfolio in light of loan concentrations, current general economic conditions and economic trends.  Based upon these evaluations, which all strongly suggest an economic slowdown occurring in late 2007 and further based on the Company's allowance for loan loss calculation and review of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2007.  Management anticipates that the provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2007 will be consistent with the first six months of 2007 and also anticipates that the provision for loan losses for the entire year of 2007 may be less than the provision for 2006 if indicators of credit quality remain stabilized.  However, the provision for loan losses could increase for the entire year of 2007, as compared to 2006, if the Company’s loan growth continues at the rate experienced through the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Noninterest Income.  Fee income, unrelated to interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of service charges, commissions and fees, has become an important component to the Company’s total revenue stream.
 
Total noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $6,483 and $11,882 as compared to $5,028 and $9,783 for the same periods in 2006. Service charges, commissions and fees remain the largest component of total noninterest income and increased from $4,001 and $7,322 for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2006 to $5,395 and $9,684, respectively, for the same periods in 2007.  This increase primarily reflects additional service charges and NSF fees from deposit-related products stemming primarily from the continued increased volume as a result of the Bank’s High Performance Checking Program introduced in the first quarter of 2005.  The Company believes that noninterest income will continue to improve over the remainder of 2007 when compared to prior comparable periods as a result of the increase in net new checking accounts opened  resulting from the Bank’s High Performance Checking Program and the CVBG acquisition. The Company will begin introducing the High Performance Checking product in the Cumberland Region during the third quarter of this year with anticipated growth occurring during the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, other noninterest income increased by $61 to $1,088 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1,027 for the same period in 2006. For the six month period ended June 30, 2007 other noninterest income decreased by $353 to $2,198 from $2,551 for the same period in 2006.  The reduction is primarily a result of decreased dividends from an insurance provider.

21

Noninterest Expense.  Control of noninterest expense is a critical aspect in enhancing income. Noninterest expense includes personnel, occupancy, and other expenses such as data processing, printing and supplies, legal and professional fees, postage, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessment, etc. Total noninterest expense was $16,709 and $30,751 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12,679 and $25,385 for the same periods in 2006. The $4,030, or 32%, increase in total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 principally reflects increases in all expense categories primarily as a result of layering-on the normal operating costs associated with the acquisition of CVBG and increased personnel costs for additional staffing related to loan production initiatives. Noninterest expenses were also impacted by the assimilation costs of $450 incurred relating to the CVGB acquisition.

Similarly, the $5,366 or 21%, increase in total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 reflects substantially the same trends that existed during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Personnel costs are the primary element of the Company's noninterest expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, salaries and benefits represented $8,472, or 51%, and $15,930, or 52%, respectively, of total noninterest expense. This was an increase of $2,206, or 35%, and $3,273, or 26%, respectively, from the $6,266 and $12,657 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  Including Bank branches and non-bank office locations, the Company had 73 locations at June 30, 2007, as compared to 60 at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, and the number of full-time equivalent employees increased 25% from 609 at June 30, 2006 to 739 at June 30, 2007.  These increases in personnel costs, number of branches and employees are primarily the result of the CVBG acquisition.  The personnel cost compared to prior periods will increase for the remainder of 2007 as a result of the CVBG acquisition.
 
The Company’s efficiency ratio was slightly up from 56.74% at June 30, 2006 to 57.33% at June 30, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to the CVBG acquisition during the second quarter of 2007.  The efficiency ratio illustrates how much it cost the Company to generate revenue; for example, it cost the Company 57.33 cents to generate one dollar of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 

Income Taxes.  The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 38.10% and 38.50%, respectively, compared to 38.24% and 37.95% for the same periods in 2006.

Changes in Financial Condition
 
Total assets at June 30, 2007 were $2,927,298, an increase of $1,154,644, or 65%, from total assets of $1,772,654 at December 31, 2006. The increase in assets was primarily reflective of the $787,520, or 51%, increase in loans, net of unearned interest and the $205,142, or 544%, increase in securities available for sale. The primary component of these increases stemmed from the CVBG acquisition, which resulted in an increase in total assets, loans, net of unearned interest and investments, in the approximate amounts of $896,000, $628,000 and $200,000, respectively.  Absent the CVBG acquisition, total assets and loans, net of unearned interest, would have increased approximately $258,644 and $152,848, respectively.
 
At June 30, 2007, loans, net of unearned interest, were $2,327,149 compared to $1,539,629 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $787,520, or 51%, from December 31, 2006. The increase in loans during the first six months of 2007 primarily reflects an increase from loans acquired in the CVBG acquisitions and  organic growth in commercial real estate loans and commercial loans.

Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans 90 or more days past due. All loans that are 90 days past due are considered non-accrual unless they are adequately secured and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of principal and interest. Non-accrual loans that are 120 days past due without assurance of repayment are charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing increased by $1,376 or 39%, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $4,883 from $3,507 at December 31, 2006.  This increase is attributable to the CVBG acquisition.   At June 30, 2007, the ratio of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans (which include non-accrual loans) was 674.48%.
 
The Company maintains an investment portfolio to provide liquidity and earnings. Investments at June 30, 2007 with an amortized cost of $248,783 had a market value of $244,229. At year-end 2006, investments with an
 
22

amortized cost of $40,494 had a market value of $40,284. The increase in investments from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 results primarily from the CVBG acquisition.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Liquidity.  Liquidity refers to the ability or the financial flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available for reserve requirements, customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. The Company's liquid assets include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investment securities and loans held for sale. Including securities pledged to collateralize municipal deposits, these assets represented 13% of the total liquidity base at June 30, 2007, as compared to 8% at December 31, 2006. The liquidity base is generally defined to include deposits, repurchase agreements, notes payable and subordinated debentures.  The Company maintains borrowing availability with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”), which was fully utilized at June 30, 2007 in order to better optimize its funding costs.  The Company also maintains federal funds lines of credit totaling $166,000 at eight correspondent banks, of which $124,138 was available at June 30, 2007. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its current operating needs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operating activities of the Company provided $31,215 of cash flows. Net income of $12,702 comprised a substantial portion of the cash generated from operations.  Cash flows from operating activities were also positively affected by various non-cash items, including (i) $2,233 in provision for loan losses, (ii) $2,416 of depreciation and amortization, (iii) $18,126 increase in accrued interest payable and other liabilities.  The increase in accrued interest payable and other liabilities relates to the timing of several sizable bank official checks disbursed for loans that had not cleared through the Bank as of June 30, 2007.  These checks cleared within a couple days after the June 30, 2007 quarter-end.  This was offset in part by a decrease of $2,996 in deferred tax benefit. In addition, the cash flows provided by the proceeds from sales of mortgage loans exceeded the cash flows used by the originations of mortgage loans held for sale by $292.  

The Company’s net increase in loans used $152,845 in cash flows and was the primary component of the $189,713 in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, the Company used $24,548 of net cash in the CVBG acquisition and purchased $23,682 in investment securities available for sale. This was offset by (i) $1,262 in proceeds from the sale of investments securities available for sale (ii) $13,106 in proceeds from the maturities of investment securities available for sale (iii) $496 in proceeds from the sale of securities held to maturity, and (iv) $690 in proceeds from the maturities of securities held to maturity. Purchases of fixed asset additions, net of proceeds from sale of other real estate, used $3,373 in cash flows.

 Proceeds from FHLB advances and notes payable of $114,200, proceeds from the issuance of subordinated debentures of $57,732 in connection with the CVBG acquisition and the net increase in deposits of $38,157 were the primary sources of cash flows used in financing activities.  These were offset, in part, by repayments of FHLB advances and notes payable of $35,790.  In addition, dividends paid in the amount of $2,957 further reduced the total net cash used in financing activities.

Capital Resources.  The Company’s capital position is reflected in its shareholders’ equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. Shareholders’ equity, or capital, is a measure of the Company’s net worth, soundness and viability. The Company continues to exhibit a strong capital position while consistently paying dividends to its shareholders. Further, the capital base of the Company allows it to take advantage of business opportunities while maintaining the level of resources deemed appropriate by management of the Company to address business risks inherent in the Company’s daily operations.

On May 16, 2007, the Company issued $57,732 of subordinated debentures, as part of a privately placed pool of trust preferred securities.  The securities, due in 2037, bear interest at a floating rate of 1.65% above the three-month LIBOR rate, reset quarterly, and are callable in five years from the date of issuance without penalty.  The Company used the proceeds of the offering to support its acquisition of CVBG, and the capital raised from the offering qualifies as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

Shareholders’ equity on June 30, 2007 was $311,405, an increase of $126,934, or 69%, from $184,471 on December 31, 2006. The increase in shareholders’ equity primarily reflected the issuance of common stock associated with the CVBG acquisition and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $12,702 ($1.19 per share, assuming dilution). This increase was offset in part by quarterly dividend payments during the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaling $2,957 ($0.26 per share) and the cumulative change of $2,688 in unrealized losses, net of reclassification and taxes, on available for sale securities.  The cumulative change in the unrealized losses was
 
23

primarily driven by a downturn in the Mortgage Backed Securities market led by the securities backed by Sub-Prime mortgages; although, we do not hold such securities the market value for Prime based securities was affected and a moderate recovery of this unrealized loss is expected.

On September 18, 2002 the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $2,000 of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock beginning in October 2002. The repurchase plan has been renewed by the Board of Directors annually thereafter and will terminate on the earlier to occur of the Company’s repurchase of the total authorized dollar amount or December 31, 2007. The repurchase plan is dependent upon market conditions and there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company.  To date, the Company has purchased 25,700 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $538 under this program.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends paid by the Bank.  Applicable Tennessee statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank. Further, any dividend payments are subject to the continuing ability of the Bank to maintain its compliance with minimum federal regulatory capital requirements and to retain its characterization under federal regulations as a “well-capitalized” institution.
 
Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) require bank holding companies and banks, respectively, to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off-balance sheet items.  Under the guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet items.  Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk-weighting after conversion to balance sheet equivalent amounts. All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core, or Tier 1, capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income).  These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels. At June 30, 2007, the Bank and the Company each satisfied their respective minimum regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was “well-capitalized” within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.  The table below sets forth the capital position of the Bank and the Company at June 30, 2007.

The FRB has recently issued regulations which will allow continued inclusion of outstanding and prospective issuances of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative limits than allowed under prior regulations.  The new limits will phase in over a five-year transition period and would permit the Company's trust preferred securities to continue to be treated as Tier 1 capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit totaling $793,218 and unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $121,390. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and most will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Company has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale or, on a short-term basis, to borrow any then available amounts from the FHLB and/or purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions.  At June 30, 2007, the Company had accommodations with upstream correspondent banks for unsecured Federal funds lines.  These accommodations have various covenants related to their term and availability, and in most cases must be repaid within less than a month.  The following table presents additional information about the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments as of June 30, 2007, which by their terms have contractual maturity dates subsequent to June 30, 2007:

Additionally, the Company routinely enters into contracts for services.  These contracts may require payment for services to be provided in the future and may also contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract.  Management is not aware of any additional commitments or contingent liabilities which may have a material adverse impact on the liquidity or capital resources of the Company.


Effect of New Accounting Standards
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition,
 
25

classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The Company adopted Interpretation No. 48 effective January 1, 2007, resulting in a beginning retained earnings adjustment in the amount of $800.  See Note 6 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the adoption of this standard.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement 157”).  Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued.  Statement 157 will become effective on January 1, 2008.  The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”.   This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This statement is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances.  The Company did not choose to early adopt this standard.
