PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The accounting policies followed by Union Planters Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, Union Planters or the Company) for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting except as noted below. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Union Planters Corporation's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders (2000 Annual Report), a copy of which is Exhibit 13 to Union Planters Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (2000 10-K). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2001 financial reporting presentation. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity record all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. It also requires changes in fair value to be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income depending upon the purpose for using the derivative and/or its qualification, designation, and effectiveness as a hedging transaction. In June 2000, the FASB amended portions of SFAS No. 133 by issuing SFAS No. 138. The Company adopted these new standards effective January 1, 2001. At adoption, the new accounting standards had an immaterial impact on net income and other comprehensive income. Reference is made to the disclosure in Note 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated March 31, 2001 for additional information regarding the adoption of SFAS No. 133. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures. This statement replaces SFAS No. 125, although it retains most of SFAS 125's provisions without modification. SFAS 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 140 on April 1, 2001. The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 (APB No. 16). This Statement changes the accounting for business combinations in APB No. 16 in the following significant respects: - This Statement requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. - APB No. 16 requires separate recognition of intangible assets that can be identified and named. This Statement requires that they be recognized as assets apart from goodwill if they meet one of two criteria - the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. - In addition to the current disclosures in APB No. 16, this Statement requires disclosure of the primary reasons for business combinations and the allocation of the purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major balance sheet caption. If the amounts of goodwill and other intangibles are significant in relation to the purchase price paid, disclosure of other information about those assets is required, such as the amount of goodwill by reportable segment and the amount of the purchase price assigned to each major intangible asset class. The provisions of this Statement apply to business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of this Statement will require changes in the accounting and disclosures related to business combinations, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired 7 in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. The Statement changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in the following significant respects: - Acquiring entities usually integrate acquired entities into their operations, and thus the acquirers' expectations of benefits from the resulting synergies usually are reflected in the premium that they pay to acquire those entities. APB No. 17 treated the acquired entity as if it remained a stand-alone entity rather than being integrated with the acquiring entity; as a result, the portion of the premium related to expected synergies (goodwill) was not accounted for appropriately. This Statement adopts a more aggressive view of goodwill and bases the accounting for goodwill on the units of the combined entity into which the acquired entity is integrated. - APB No. 17 presumed that goodwill and other intangible assets were wasting assets and were amortized over an estimated life. This Statement assumes goodwill and other intangibles assets that have useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but without the constraint of an arbitrary ceiling. - This Statement provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment. - This Statement provides specific guidance on testing intangible assets that will not be amortized for impairment and thus removes those assets from the scope of other impairment guidance. Intangible assets that are not amortized will be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of those assets with their recorded amount. - This Statement requires disclosure about changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from period to period (in the aggregate and by reportable segment), the carrying amount of intangible assets by major intangible asset class for those subject to amortization and for those not subject to amortization, and the estimated intangible asset amortization for the next five years. The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and must be adopted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Retroactive application is not permitted. Union Planters will adopt the new Standard on January 1, 2002, and is currently evaluating the potential impact of the Standard on its financial position and results of operation. NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS CONSUMMATED ACQUISITIONS On February 12, 2001, Union Planters acquired Jefferson Savings Bancorp, Inc. (Jefferson Savings) of Ballwin, Missouri, the parent of Jefferson Heritage Bank, a federal savings bank. Jefferson Savings had total assets of $1.6 billion, total loans of $1.3 billion, and total deposits of $877 million at acquisition. Union Planters exchanged approximately 4.4 million shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Jefferson Savings. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the acquisition were $46.5 million. Pro forma information has been omitted because the Jefferson Savings acquisition is not considered significant to Union Planters. Union Planters has announced its intent to repurchase Union Planters' common shares up to the number of shares issued in the transaction. Through September 30, 2001, 2.3 million shares had been purchased and retired.

In all these transactions, Union Planters retained servicing responsibilities. Union Planters receives annual servicing fees at a percentage of the outstanding balance (.25% to .375%). Union Planters also has rights to future cash flows arising after the investors in the securitization trust have received the return for which they contracted. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to Union Planters' other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. Union Planters' retained interests are subordinate to investors' interests. Their value is subject to credit, prepayment, and interest-rate risks on the transferred financial assets. In the third quarter, the Company recognized pretax gains of $8.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, on the securitization of $329.8 million and whole-loan sales of $149.1 million of residential mortgage loans. In the securitization transactions, Union Planters retained an interest of approximately $24 million. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the date of securitization resulting from securitizations completed during the quarter were as follows: RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS FIXED-RATE Prepayment speed.................................. 25.0% CPR Weighted-average life (in years).................. 7.7 Expected credit losses............................ 0.2% Residual cash flows discounted at................. 15.4 10 NOTE 5.

BORROWINGS SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings include short-term FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other short-term borrowings. Short-term FHLB advances are borrowings from the FHLB, which are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans. Federal funds purchased arise from Union Planters' market activity with its correspondent banks and generally mature in one business day. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by U.S. Government and agency securities.

These advances have an original maturity of greater than one year. The Agreements enable these subsidiaries to borrow funds from the FHLB to fund mortgage loan programs and to satisfy certain other funding needs. The value of the mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans pledged under the Agreements must be maintained at not less than 115% and 150%, respectively, of the advances outstanding. At September 30, 2001, Union Planters' subsidiaries had an adequate amount of mortgage-backed securities and loans to satisfy the collateral requirements.

INCOME TAXES Applicable income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $57.5 million and $168.2 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.92% for both periods. Applicable income taxes for the same periods in 2000 were $50.8 million and $154.1 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 33.32% and 33.51%, respectively. The increase in the effective 13 rate in 2001, as compared to 2000, is due primarily to the change in the mix of taxable and nontaxable revenues. The tax expense applicable to investment securities gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $3.3 million and $30,000, respectively. At September 30, 2001, Union Planters had a net deferred tax asset of $52.3 million compared to $124.5 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease is attributable to the change in the net deferred asset (liability) related to the unrealized gain or loss on available for sale investment securities. Management believes that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized and, therefore, no valuation allowance has been provided. NOTE 10.

MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING Union Planters was acting as servicing agent for residential mortgage loans totaling approximately $15.2 billion at September 30, 2001 compared to $13.7 billion at December 31, 2000. The loans serviced for others are not included in Union Planters' consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents a reconciliation of the changes in mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.

Significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value were as follows: Dealer consensus prepayment speeds......... 19.4% CPR Market discount rate....................... 9.9 Both of the significant assumptions above are directly related to and move in concert with interest rates. In the view of management, in order to understand the hypothetical effect on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights as a result of unfavorable variations in the significant assumptions, it is necessary to measure the effect that would result from a decline in interest rates. At September 30, 2001, the reduction in the current fair value of mortgage servicing rights resulting from an immediate 50 and 100 basis point decline in interest rates would be approximately $36.6 million and $65.7 million, respectively. 14 NOTE 12.

(2) The Company implemented a new management reporting system in the first quarter of 2001, including a transfer pricing system for funds used or provided by the various segments. This new system had the effect of changing the amount each segment is charged or credited for funds. Amounts shown for 2000 have been reclassified to reflect this change. NOTE 13. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Union Planters and/or its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, including an action that was filed on February 20, 2001, which are described in Item 3, Part I of Union Planters' 2000 10-K and in Note 20 to Union Planters' consolidated financial statements on page 67 of the 2000 Annual Report. Various other legal proceedings pending against Union Planters and/or its subsidiaries have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Based upon present information, including evaluations of certain actions by outside counsel, management is of the opinion that neither Union Planters' financial position, results of operations, nor liquidity will be materially affected by the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened legal proceedings. There were no significant developments during the third quarter of 2001 in any of the pending or threatened legal proceedings that affected such opinion. 15 ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of significant changes in Union Planters' results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related financial analysis set forth in Union Planters' 2000 Annual Report, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 included in Part I hereof, and the supplemental financial data included in this discussion. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such statements are based on management's expectations as well as certain assumptions made by, and information available to, management. Specifically, this discussion contains forward-looking statements with respect to the following items: - timing and effects of projected changes in interest rates - effects of changes in general economic conditions - the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans and the level of future provisions for losses on loans - projected results of the UPExcel project - expected trends in nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and the related risk of losses - the effect of legal proceedings on Union Planters' financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity - business plans for the year 2001 and beyond - anticipated recoveries under insurance policies When used in this discussion, the words "anticipate," "project," "expect," "believe," "should" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, changes in banking laws and regulations, and Union Planters' ability to execute its business plans. Although Union Planters believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially. 16 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table presents selected financial highlights for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ PERCENTAGE ------------------------ PERCENTAGE 2001 2000 CHANGE 2001 2000 CHANGE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Net earnings ............................. $ 112,004 $ 101,581 10% $ 327,696 $ 305,803 7% Per share Basic ................................ .81 .75 8 2.38 2.25 6 Diluted .............................. .81 .75 8 2.37 2.24 6 Return on average assets ............... 1.31% 1.18% 1.27% 1.21% Return on average common equity ........ 14.18 14.67 14.33 14.60 Cash operating earnings .................. $ 133,884 $ 116,476 15 $ 377,246 $ 344,917 9 Per share Diluted .............................. .96 .86 12 2.72 2.52 8 Return on average assets ............... 1.57% 1.35% 1.46% 1.36% Return on average common equity ........ 16.96 16.83 16.50 16.47 Return on average tangible assets ...... 1.62 1.39 1.50 1.40 Return on average tangible common equity 24.48 26.15 24.14 25.25 Dividends per common share ............... $ .50 $ .50 -- $ 1.50 $ 1.50 -- Net interest margin (FTE) ................ 4.27% 3.98% 4.14% 4.17% Net interest spread (FTE) ................ 3.61 3.25 3.45 3.48 Expense ratio ............................ 1.20 1.27 1.23 1.45 Efficiency ratio ......................... 55.03 55.31 55.95 56.42 Book value per common share .............. $ 23.26 $ 20.61 13 Leverage ratio ........................... 7.23% 6.36% Common share prices High closing price ..................... $ 46.94 $ 33.81 $ 46.94 $ 37.25 Low closing price ...................... 38.63 28.69 34.70 25.63 Closing price at quarter-end ........... 42.90 33.06 42.90 33.06 -------------------- Cash operating earnings = Net earnings adjusted for the after-tax impact of goodwill and other intangibles amortization and nonoperating items Net interest margin = Net interest income (FTE) as a percentage of average earning assets Net interest spread = Difference in the FTE yield on average earning assets and the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities Expense ratio = Operating net noninterest expense [noninterest expense minus noninterest income, excluding significant nonoperating revenues/expenses, investment securities gains (losses) and goodwill and other intangibles amortization] divided by average assets Efficiency ratio = Operating noninterest expense (excluding significant nonoperating expenses and goodwill and other intangibles amortization) divided by net interest income (FTE) plus noninterest income, excluding significant nonoperating revenues and investment securities gains (losses) FTE = Fully taxable-equivalent basis 17 OPERATING RESULTS -- THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 The following table presents a summary of Union Planters' operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, identifying significant nonoperating items impacting the results for the periods shown: UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION SUMMARY OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (UNAUDITED) THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ----------------------- ----------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Interest income ............................................. $ 580,066 $ 649,054 $1,843,196 $1,876,786 Interest expense ............................................

This compared to cash operating earnings for the same period in 2000 of $116.5 million, or $.86 per diluted common share and $123.1 million, or $.89 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2001. Cash operating earnings for the third quarter of 2001 resulted in annualized returns on average assets, average common equity, and average tangible common equity of 1.57%, 16.96%, and 24.48%, respectively, which compares to 1.35%, 16.83%, and 26.15%, respectively, for the same period in 2000. Net earnings were $112.0 million, or $.81 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2001, an increase from $101.6 million, or $.75 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2000. These earnings represented annualized returns on average assets and average common equity of 1.31% and 14.18%, respectively, compared to 1.18% and 14.67%, respectively, for the same period in 2000. Reference is made to the "Summary of Consolidated Results" on page 18 for a comparison of the nonoperating items impacting results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. 19 EARNINGS ANALYSIS NET INTEREST INCOME Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2001 was $331.3 million, an increase of $18.5 million over the same quarter last year and a $6.6 million increase over the second quarter of 2001. The components of this change were continued improvement in pricing of loan products and the decline in core funding costs during the third quarter. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2001 was 4.27%, which compares to 3.98% and 4.11%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2000 and second quarter of 2001. The interest-rate spread was 3.61% for the third quarter of 2001, an increase from 3.25% for the third quarter of 2000 and 3.42% for the second quarter of 2001. Reference is made to Union Planters' average balance sheet and analysis of volume and rate changes, which follow this discussion, for additional information regarding the changes in net interest income. INTEREST INCOME The following table presents a breakdown of average earning assets: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED ------------------------------------- ----------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ----------------------- JUNE 30, ----------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN BILLIONS) Average earning assets............................ $ 30.8 $ 31.2 $ 31.7 $ 31.5 $ 30.7 Comprised of: Loans......................................... 82% 76% 81% 81% 75% Investment securities......................... 16 23 17 18 24 Other earning assets ......................... 2 1 2 1 1 -------------------- Fully taxable-equivalent yield on average earning 7.58% 8.38% 7.89% 7.93% 8.29% assets............................................ Taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $69.1 million for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. This decline was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 8.38% to 7.58%, which reduced interest income by $70.0 million. The decline in yield is attributable primarily to the decreasing interest rate trend. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, interest income decreased $34.6 million, which was attributable primarily to a decline in the average yield on earning assets and a decrease of $890.7 million in earning assets. For the first nine months of 2001, taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $34.1 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease was driven by a decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 8.29% to 7.93%, which reduced interest income by $107.5 million. Partially offsetting this decrease was a 2.8% increase in average earning assets, primarily loans, which increased interest income $73.4 million. The decline in interest income during the third quarter of 2001 is the result of declining interest rates during the quarter. While the average yields on earning assets decreased, average rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities also decreased and the overall net interest income improved. Reference is made to the Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management discussions for additional information regarding changes in interest rates and how the Company is positioned to react to the changes. The percentage of loans to total earning assets has increased over the past several quarters as well as over the prior year. This change in mix is being driven by the growth of loans (see the Loan discussion) and a strategy by management to lower the level of investment securities. During the second quarter, the investment securities portfolio was restructured (see the Investment Securities discussion). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of investment securities was used to reduce short-term debt. 20 INTEREST EXPENSE The following table presents a breakdown of average interest-bearing liabilities: THREE MONTHS ENDED --------------------------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ JUNE 30, ------------------------ 2001 2000 2001 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN BILLIONS) Average interest-bearing liabilities ............ $ 25.7 $ 26.8 $ 26.8 $ 26.7 $ 26.3 Comprised of: Deposits .................................... 76% 72% 73% 73% 73% Short-term borrowings ....................... 13 22 17 17 22 FHLB advances and long-term debt ............ 11 6 10 10 5 --------------- Rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities 3.97% 5.13% 4.47% 4.48% 4.81% Interest expense decreased $87.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same quarter last year. This decrease was driven by a decrease in the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities from 5.13% to 3.97%, which resulted from the declining interest-rate environment. This reduction in rates paid decreased interest expense $73.9 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities also decreased $1.1 billion, primarily short-term FHLB advances, which decreased interest expense $13.8 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, interest expense decreased $41.2 million due primarily to the decline in interest rates. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.47% to 3.97%, which reduced interest expense $22.4 million. Also contributing to the decrease was a $1.0 billion reduction in average interest-bearing liabilities, which reduced interest expense $18.8 million. This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in short-term borrowings. For the first nine months of 2001, interest expense decreased $53.3 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease was driven by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.81% to 4.48%, which decreased interest expense $73.8 million. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $381.0 million, which increased interest expense $20.5 million. The decreases in interest rates in 2001 by the Federal Reserve and an additional decrease in the fourth quarter of 2001 are expected to lower Union Planters' borrowing cost. The reduction in short-term borrowings during the third quarter is expected to reduce the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates. Additional rate reductions are not expected to have as significant an impact because the rates paid on certain deposit products do not react as quickly as other instruments, and certain deposit products may reach minimum rate levels. Reference is made to the Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management section for a discussion of the impact of declining interest rates. These are forward-looking statements and actual results could differ due to several factors, including those identified in this discussion and in the discussion of Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS The provision for losses on loans for the third quarter of 2001 was $41.9 million, or .66% of average loans on an annualized basis. This compares to $28.9 million, or .45% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2001 and $19.9 million, or .34% of average loans, for the third quarter of 2000. The higher provision for losses on loans in the second and third quarters of 2001 is attributable to the growth of loans and the downturn in the economy and the resulting increase in nonperforming loans. Also, a one-time net charge of $8 million related to a fraud associated with a mortgage warehouse line of credit was recorded in the third quarter of 2001. The line of credit has been charged off; however, the fraud is insured, and the Company has made appropriate estimates for recovery under its insurance policy. Reference is made to the "Allowance for Losses on Loans" and "Nonperforming Loans" discussions for additional information regarding loan charge-offs and other items impacting the provision for losses on loans. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 was $196.3 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 4.9%, from the second quarter of 2001 and an increase of $49.0 million, or 33.3%, from the third quarter of 2000. Included in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 was an investment securities gain of $580,000. For the same period in 2000, noninterest income included $5.5 million resulting from 21 the sale of loans. Both of these items are considered nonoperating by management. Also included in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 was $18.6 million in gains on the sale of branches related to the UPExcel project. Growth of noninterest income continues to be one of management's priorities. Noninterest income less nonrecurring items, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 35.4% in the third quarter of 2001, compared to 31.8% for the same quarter last year and 36.1% for the second quarter of 2001. The major components of noninterest income are presented on the consolidated statement of earnings and in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The strong growth in noninterest income is attributable to successful efforts in several areas as outlined below. Additionally, the Jefferson Savings acquisition in February 2001 and the Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. (SOI) acquisition in April 2000 contributed to the growth year over year. MORTGAGE BANKING REVENUES. These revenues increased $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and increased $5.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the first nine months of 2001, mortgage banking revenues increased $63.5 million, or 84.4%, to $138.7 million over the same period in 2000. The lower interest-rate environment, which increased mortgage loan production and the level of mortgage refinancing activity, as well as the divestiture of home mortgage loans were the primary contributors to this growth. In the third quarter of 2001, Union Planters securitized or sold $478.9 million of mortgage loans, which resulted in a pretax gain of $10.6 million. SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. These fees increased 13.2% to $53.7 million for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and decreased $2.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, these fees increased $29.3 million, or 21.8%. This increase is attributable to a more consistent administration of competitive pricing and collections on all account relationships across the entire franchise. SOI NET REVENUES. SOI, which was acquired by Union Planters in April 2000, is one of the largest providers of professional employment services in the United States, which include workers' compensation, employee benefits management, payroll administration, safety and risk management services, human resource administration, and compliance administration. Clients, who are typically small and medium-sized businesses, are provided cost-effective approaches to the management of critical human resource responsibilities and employer risks. Net SOI revenues were $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2001, level with the same period in 2000, and level with the second quarter of 2001. For the first nine months of 2001, net SOI revenues were $18.3 million compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2000. MERCHANT SERVICING INCOME. These revenues are primarily from Union Planters' merchant processing, which are earned by the conversion to cash of payments received by merchants from customers using credit cards, debit cards, purchase cards, and private label cards. Merchant servicing income increased $1.1 million to $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter last year and decreased $873,000 from the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, these revenues were $31.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively. INSURANCE AND INVESTMENTS. This category of noninterest income is comprised of insurance commissions, annuity sales commissions, and brokerage fee income. For the third quarter of 2001, these revenues were $13.5 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the second quarter of 2001 and an increase of $2.5 million from the third quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, insurance and investments were $37.2 million compared to $37.3 million for the same period in 2000. OTHER NONINTEREST INCOME. Revenues from Union Planters' Small Business Administration (SBA) trading operations are generated from buying, selling, and securitizing government-guaranteed SBA pools and government-guaranteed portions of SBA loans. These revenues decreased $259,000 to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of 2000. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, these revenues decreased $830,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, SBA trading revenues increased $1.9 million over the same period in 2000. Union Planters has a limited partnership investment of $10.2 million in VSIBG, a registered broker-dealer whose principal business is the purchase and sale of fixed income securities for institutional clients. Union Planters' share of earnings from this investment increased $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the same period last year and decreased $799,000 compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, earnings from this investment were $4.4 million, an increase of $4.0 million from the same period a year ago. 22 NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2001 was $307.6 million, which compares to $279.1 million for the third quarter of 2000 and $309.0 million for the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, noninterest expense was $906.3 million compared to $826.7 million for the same period in 2000. The Company's efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2001 was 55.03%, compared to 56.52% for the second quarter of 2001 and 55.31% for the third quarter of 2000. The Jefferson Savings (February 2001) and SOI (April 2000) acquisitions increased noninterest expense approximately $4.9 million and $20.9 million for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2000. Also, during the third quarter of 2001 mortgage production increased as interest rates decreased. The increased production contributed to increased expenses in the mortgage operations of $10.6 million over the second quarter of 2001 and $17.8 million over the third quarter of 2000. The major components of noninterest expense are presented on the consolidated statement of earnings and in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the significant expense categories impacting the changes in noninterest expense follows: SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. These expenses represent the largest category of noninterest expense and increased $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2001 to $139.1 million when compared to the third quarter of 2000. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, these expenses increased $5.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, salaries and employee benefits increased $14.5 million over the same period last year. At September 30, 2001, Union Planters had 12,023 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 12,767 and 12,358, respectively, at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001. The increase in salaries and employee benefit expense was driven partially by the Jefferson Savings and SOI acquisitions. Also contributing to the increase was increased incentive compensation due to higher levels of production, primarily in mortgage operations, as well as severance pay in connection with the UPExcel program. OCCUPANCY AND EQUIPMENT EXPENSE. Net occupancy and equipment expense was $48.7 million for the third quarter of 2001, an increase of $4.3 million and $254,000, respectively, from the third quarter of 2000 and second quarter of 2001. These expenses increased due to the Jefferson Savings and SOI acquisitions and increased operating costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, these expenses were $145.0 million, an increase of $11.2 million over the same period in 2000. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES AMORTIZATION. The increase year over year in the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles is attributable to the Jefferson Savings and SOI acquisitions. MORTGAGE INTANGIBLES EXPENSE. The lower interest-rate environment during the third quarter of 2001 resulted in increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights as well as a valuation allowance. For the third quarter of 2001, these expenses increased $10.4 million compared to the same period in 2000 and $11.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, these expenses increased $15.5 million compared to the same period in 2000. UPEXCEL PROJECT EXPENSE. During the first quarter of 2001, Union Planters began a strategic initiative, UPExcel, to drive significant new business growth and to better control costs. The UPExcel program is a comprehensive "grass roots" self-improvement project that is designed to enhance client service, identify opportunities for new revenue generation and expense savings, and result in a more efficient and more profitable operation. At the end of the second quarter, the project was entering the final planning phase, after which implementation of the various initiatives was begun. Some of the changes resulting from the project are already in place, including a new management structure announced at the end of June as well as providing better customer service. Included in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2001 are $4.2 million of costs related to this project, which were considered a nonoperating expense item by management. UPExcel is designed to be fully implemented over an 18-month period. These are forward-looking statements and actual results could differ because of several factors, including those identified in this discussion and in the discussion of Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES. For the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2001, miscellaneous charge-offs increased $1.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2000. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, miscellaneous charge-offs decreased $1.5 million. Provisions for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims decreased $751,000 and increased $1.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same periods in 2000. Compared to the second quarter of 2001, there was a decrease of $2.7 million. 23 Advertising and promotion expense for the third quarter of 2001 decreased $1.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2000 and decreased $4.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, advertising and promotion expenses increased $171,000 compared to the same period in 2000. Credit-related expenses (expenses related to origination of loan products) increased $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2001 to $7.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2000. This compares to an increase of $2.0 million over the second quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, these expenses increased $10.3 million compared to the same period in 2000. The change in credit-related expenses is attributable to the increase in loan production, primarily mortgage loans. 24 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND INTEREST RATES THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2001 2000 -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ INTEREST FTE INTEREST FTE AVERAGE INCOME/ YIELD/ AVERAGE INCOME/ YIELD/ BALANCE EXPENSE RATE BALANCE EXPENSE RATE ------------ ----------- ------- ------------ ---------- ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS Interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions.................................. $ 37,747 $ 409 4.30% $ 33,090 $ 825 9.92% Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell................ 93,199 853 3.63 93,592 1,511 6.42 Trading account assets...................... 218,298 3,418 6.21 214,725 4,266 7.90 Investment securities (1) (2) Taxable................................... 3,934,180 63,511 6.40 5,868,233 94,746 6.42 Tax-exempt................................ 1,128,421 21,785 7.66 1,223,732 23,339 7.59 ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- Total investment securities......... 5,062,601 85,296 6.68 7,091,965 118,085 6.62 Loans, net of unearned income (1) (3) (4)... 25,386,934 498,669 7.79 23,799,262 533,087 8.91 ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- TOTAL EARNING ASSETS (1) (2) (3) (4) 30,798,779 588,645 7.58 31,232,634 657,774 8.38 ---------- ---------- Cash and due from banks..................... 731,088 867,145 Premises and equipment...................... 587,748 618,552 Allowance for losses on loans...............

FINANCIAL CONDITION Union Planters' total assets were $33.4 billion at September 30, 2001, compared to $34.3 billion at September 30, 2000 and $34.7 billion at December 31, 2000. Average assets were $33.8 billion for the third quarter of 2001 compared to $34.2 billion for the third quarter of 2000. Earning assets at September 30, 2001 were $30.5 billion compared to $31.6 billion at December 31, 2000 and $31.5 billion at June 30, 2001. Average earning assets were $30.8 billion for the third quarter of 2001 which compares to $31.2 billion for the same period last year and compared to $31.7 billion for the second quarter of 2001. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Union Planters' investment securities portfolio of $5.1 billion at September 30, 2001 consisted entirely of available for sale securities, which are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. This compares to investment securities of $5.3 billion and $6.8 billion at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The decrease in investment securities is consistent with management's strategy of reducing the proportion of investment securities to total earning assets as loan growth occurs. At September 30, 2001, the investment securities had net unrealized gains of $141.6 million (before income taxes). This compares to a net unrealized gain of $86.2 million and a net unrealized loss of $5.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The change from an unrealized loss in the portfolio to an unrealized gain resulted from the decreasing interest-rate environment and the portfolio restructuring. Reference is made to Note 3 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements which provides the composition of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency obligations represented approximately 53.4% of the investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2001, 84.7% of which were Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) and mortgage-backed securities issues. Union Planters has some credit risk in the investment portfolio; however, management does not consider that risk to be significant and does not believe that cash flows will be significantly impacted. Reference is made to the "Net Interest Income" and "Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management" discussions for information regarding the market-risk in the investment securities portfolio. 28 The limited credit risk in the investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2001 consisted of 18.0% investment grade CMOs, 22.8% municipal obligations, and 5.8% other stocks and securities (primarily Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock). LOANS Loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2001 were $23.9 billion compared to $23.4 billion and $24.0 billion at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Loans held for resale were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2001 compared to $377.0 million and $457.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 2000. The growth in loans held for resale relates to the increase in mortgage production in the current decreasing interest-rate environment. Note 4 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report presents the composition of the loan portfolio. Average loans, excluding FHA/VA loans, were $25.2 billion for the third quarter of 2001 compared to $23.4 billion for the same quarter in 2000 and compared to $25.5 billion for the second quarter of 2001. Net of loan divestitures and the liquidation of the indirect loan portfolio, average loans increased during the third quarter by 9.4% compared to the same quarter last year. This growth included 17.2% in residential real estate loans, 19.1% in other mortgage loans, and 7.2% in commercial loans. This growth is driven by continued strong mortgage production, growth in the majority of other loan categories, and the acquisition of Jefferson Savings. The recent decline in interest rates has increased the level of mortgage loan refinancings as well as prepayments related to mortgage-backed loans and investments. At September 30, 2001, approximately 29.1% of Union Planters' earning assets were mortgage-backed loans and mortgage-backed securities. Reference is made to the Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management section of this discussion for additional information regarding the impact of lower interest rates on interest income. ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS Union Planters maintains the allowance for losses on loans (the allowance) at a level deemed sufficient to absorb estimated losses incurred in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is reviewed quarterly to assess the risk in the portfolio. This methodology includes assigning loss factors to loans with similar characteristics for which estimates of incurred probable loss can be assessed. The loss factors are based on historical experience as adjusted for current business and economic conditions, and are applied to the respective portfolios to assist in determination of the overall adequacy of the allowance. A periodic review of selected loans (based on loan size) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or incurred losses. The primary responsibility for this review rests with management personnel assigned with accountability for the credit relationship. This review is supplemented with periodic reviews by Union Planters' credit review function and regulatory agencies. These reviews provide information which assists in the timely identification of problems or potential problems and provide a basis for determination of whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk which should be recognized. 29 The following table provides a reconciliation of the allowance at the dates indicated and certain key ratios for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 2000: NINE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- ------------ 2001 2000 2000 ---------- ---------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) BALANCE AT THE BEGINNING OF PERIOD.......................... $ 335,452 $ 342,300 $ 342,300 LOANS CHARGED OFF Commercial, financial, and agricultural................... 45,508 31,669 42,947 Foreign................................................... 22 118 120 Accounts receivable - factoring........................... 7,993 11,604 14,644 Real estate - construction................................ 2,058 2,854 3,292 Real estate - mortgage Secured by 1-4 family residential...................... 43,150 8,174 12,810 Other mortgage......................................... 6,895 2,121 3,247 Home equity............................................... 1,098 1,225 1,334 Consumer.................................................. 38,557 38,397 52,959 Direct lease financing.................................... 586 -- 28 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total charge-offs................................. 145,867 96,162 131,381 ---------- ---------- ---------- RECOVERIES ON LOANS PREVIOUSLY CHARGED OFF Commercial, financial, and agricultural................... 11,723 11,379 13,333 Foreign................................................... 437 177 214 Accounts receivable - factoring........................... 2,160 1,500 2,724 Real estate - construction................................ 614 626 2,173 Real estate - mortgage Secured by 1-4 family residential....................... 18,734 1,383 1,943 Other mortgage.......................................... 2,478 5,589 5,834 Home equity............................................... 290 499 561 Consumer.................................................. 17,500 18,096 22,681 Direct lease financing.................................... 78 -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total recoveries.................................. 54,014 39,249 49,463 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net charge-offs.............................................

(2) Amounts annualized for September 30, 2001 and 2000. The allowance at September 30, 2001 was $342.2 million, an increase of $6.7 million from December 31, 2000. The allowance at September 30, 2000 was $340.5 million. The increase in the allowance from December 31, 2000 primarily related to a $5.8 million increase from the acquisition of Jefferson Savings and the provision for losses on loans exceeding net charge-offs by $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2001. These increases were somewhat offset by a $3.3 million reduction due to loan sales. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .66% for the third quarter of 2001 (.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001), an increase over .40% for the third quarter of 2000 (.34% for the first nine months of 2000) and up from .43% for 30 the second quarter of 2001. The higher levels of charge-offs were primarily related to the slowing economy and a net one-time charge of $8 million in the third quarter of 2001 related to a fraud associated with a mortgage warehouse line of credit.

LOANS OTHER THAN FHA/VA LOANS. Nonperforming assets increased $107.7 million over the third quarter of 2000 and $1.7 million over June 30, 2001. The increase in nonperforming assets in 2001 is primarily attributable to increases in nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned. The increase over 2000 was also attributable to increases in nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned as well as the acquisition of Jefferson Savings (acquired February 2001), which increased nonperforming assets approximately $15 million. Management believes the risk of losses in nonperforming assets will be mitigated by the diversity of the loan portfolio and the generally sound collateralization practices across the banking franchise. These are forward-looking statements, and actual results could differ because of 31 several factors, including those mentioned in the Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information at the beginning of this discussion. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $152.6 million, or .64% of loans, at September 30, 2001 compared to $91.5 million, or .40%, and $132.0 million, or .55% of loans, at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The preceding table details the composition of these loans. As discussed above, the increase in these loans related primarily to the slowing of the economy. FHA/VA LOANS. FHA/VA government-insured/guaranteed loans do not, in management's opinion, have traditional credit risk inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio and risk of principal loss is considered minimal. FHA/VA loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $68.3 million at September 30, 2001 which compares to $145.4 million and $120.4 million at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001, respectively. At September 30, 2001, September 30, 2000, and June 30, 2001, $2.0 million, $4.2 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, of these loans were placed on nonaccrual status by management because the contractual payment of interest by FHA/VA had stopped due to missed filing dates. No loss of principal is expected from these loans. FHA/VA FORECLOSURE CLAIMS Provisions for losses related to FHA/VA claims are provided through noninterest expense as provisions for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims and the corresponding liability is carried in other liabilities. The provision for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims was $45,000 and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company had a reserve for FHA/VA claims losses of $5.9 million compared to $8.3 million and $11.2 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS Potential problem assets are assets which are generally collateralized and not currently considered nonperforming, but where information about possible credit problems has caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply in the future with present repayment terms. Historically, these assets were loans, which became nonperforming. At September 30, 2001, Union Planters had potential problem assets of $55.5 million, composed of 15 loans, the largest of which is $10.5 million. This compares to $44.4 million, or 13 loans, at June 30, 2001 and $44.1 million, or 11 loans, at December 31, 2000. DEPOSITS Union Planters' core deposit base is its most important and stable funding source and consists of deposits from the communities served by Union Planters.

Driven by deposit growth, average core deposits for the third quarter of 2001 increased $151.4 million over the second quarter of 2001. The deposit mix is shifting to more core funding as average brokered deposits decreased $546.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2000 and $122.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2001. Average certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over decreased $683.3 million and $171.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2000 and second quarter of 2001, respectively. 32 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings were $3.2 billion at September 30, 2001 compared to $6.0 billion at September 30, 2000 and $4.0 billion at June 30, 2001. Average short-term borrowings declined to $3.4 billion for the third quarter of 2001, a decrease of $2.4 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, compared to the same quarter last year and the second quarter of 2001. This decrease is attributable primarily to a decrease in short-term FHLB advances. The reduction was part of a strategy by management to minimize the Company's interest-rate risk, to enhance liquidity, reduce short-term borrowings, and improve the rate of return in earning assets. The investment portfolio was restructured during the second quarter and approximately $1 billion of available for sale investment securities were sold, with a portion of the proceeds being used to reduce short-term borrowings. Reference is made to the Investment Securities, Loan, and Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management discussion for additional information. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Union Planters' total shareholders' equity increased by $290.8 million from December 31, 2000 to $3.2 billion at September 30, 2001. The major items affecting shareholders' equity are as follows: - $148.8 million increase due to common stock issued in the Jefferson Savings acquisition. - $122.1 million increase due to retained net earnings (net earnings less dividends paid). - $ 93.5 million increase due to the net change in the unrealized gain or loss on available for sale investment securities. - $ 14.1 million increase due to common stock issued for employee benefit plans. - $ 87.7 million decrease due to shares purchased (2.3 million shares purchased). On February 17, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase from time to time of up to 7.1 million shares. The purchases were expected to take place over a period of 18 to 24 months (beginning February 2000) either in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2001, 1.6 million shares had been purchased under this plan. In addition, through September 30, 2001, the Company has repurchased 2.3 million shares of the 4.4 million issued in the Jefferson Savings acquisition.

Deposits, available for sale securities and money market investments are Union Planters' primary sources of liquidity. Liquidity is also achieved through short-term borrowings, borrowings under available lines of credit, and issuance of securities and debt instruments in the financial markets. Union Planters believes it has adequate liquidity to meet its operating requirements. Parent company liquidity is achieved and maintained by dividends received from subsidiaries, interest on advances to subsidiaries, and interest on its available for sale investment securities portfolio. At September 30, 2001, the parent company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $408.3 million, which compares to $508.4 million and $154.6 million, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Net working capital (total assets maturing within one year less similar liabilities) was $393.1 million, which compares to $493.0 million and $162.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The increase in parent company liquidity relates to the issuance of $500 million of subordinated notes in February 2001. At October 1, 2001, the parent company could have received dividends from subsidiaries of $336 million without prior regulatory approval. The payment of dividends by Union Planters' subsidiaries will be dependent on the future earnings and growth of the 34 subsidiaries. Management believes that the parent company has adequate liquidity to meet its cash needs, including the payment of its regular dividends and servicing of its debt. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ASSET/LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Union Planters' assets and liabilities are principally financial in nature, and the resulting earnings, primarily net interest income, are subject to changes as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates and the mix of the various assets and liabilities. Interest rates in the financial markets affect decisions on pricing its assets and liabilities, which impacts net interest income, which was approximately 63.7% of Union Planters' operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As a result, a substantial part of Union Planters' risk management activities are devoted to managing interest-rate risk. Currently, Union Planters does not have any significant risks related to foreign exchange, commodities or equity risk exposure. INTEREST-RATE RISK. One of the most important aspects of management's efforts to sustain long-term profitability for Union Planters is the management of interest-rate risk. Management's goal is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest-rate risk and liquidity. To achieve this goal, a proper balance must be maintained between assets and liabilities with respect to size, maturity, repricing date, rate of return, and degree of risk. The Union Planters' Asset/Liability Management Committee (the ALCO Committee) oversees the conduct of asset/liability and interest-rate management. The ALCO Committee meets monthly and reviews the outlook for the economy and interest rates, Union Planters' balance sheet structure, and yields on earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Union Planters uses two methods to measure interest-rate risk, interest-rate sensitivity analysis and simulation analysis. The following table summarizes the changes in Union Planters' interest-rate sensitivity and volatility due to interest-rate changes over the past three quarters: SEPTEMBER 30, JUNE 30, MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, 2001 2001 2001 2000 ------------- -------- --------- ------------ 1-Year GAP.......................................... 3% (1%) (6%) 13% 1-Year simulation 200 basis points immediate increase in rates..... +0.5% -3.9% -7.6% -15.3% 200 basis points immediate decrease in rates..... -4.5 -3.0 +1.5 +7.6 "Most likely" interest rate scenario.............. -0.1 -0.2 -0.4 +2.6 Interest-rate sensitivity analysis (GAP analysis) is used to monitor the amounts and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates. The analysis has been made at a point in time and could change significantly on a daily basis. At September 30, 2001, the interest-rate sensitivity gap within the one-year period was 3% of Union Planters' total assets with $1.1 billion more assets repricing than liabilities. This compares to (1)% of Union Planters' total assets at June 30, 2001 with $474 million more liabilities repricing than assets. This shift to an asset-sensitive position has been influenced greatly by the acceleration of prepayments on assets and additional scheduled asset sales; however, since December 31, 2000, the one-year cumulative GAP change has been a planned shift to a less liability sensitive position and has occurred mostly from the following initiatives: (i) issuance of subordinated debt, (ii) loan sales, (iii) investment securities sale, (iv) long-term certificate of deposit promotion, and (v) retirement of short-term borrowings. Reference is made to the Investment Securities, Loans, and Short-Term Borrowings discussions. Interest-rate risk is evaluated by conducting balance sheet simulation analysis to project net interest income for twelve months forward under different interest-rate scenarios. Each of these scenarios is compared with a base case scenario wherein current market rates and current period balances are held constant for the simulation period. The scenarios include immediate and parallel "shocks" to current interest rates of 200 basis points up and down and a "most likely" scenario in which current rates are moved according to economic forecasts and management's expectations of changes in administered rates. The results of these simulations are compared to policy guidelines approved by the ALCO Committee. The policy limits the changes in net interest income to 20% of net earnings when compared with the base case (flat) scenario. The simulation results have consistently been within the policy guidelines. 35 At September 30, 2001, the 200 basis point immediate rise in interest rates produced a projected .52% ($2.3 million after-tax) increase in net earnings, which compares to a projected 3.9% ($17.0 million after-tax) decrease at June 30, 2001. The 200 basis point immediate fall in interest rates produced a projected 4.5% ($19.9 million after-tax) decrease in net earnings versus a projected 3.0% ($13 million after-tax) decrease at June 30, 2001. The "most likely" calculated scenario at September 30, 2001 produced a projected 0.1% ($0.5 million after-tax) decrease in net earnings compared to a projected .2% ($1.0 million after-tax) decrease in net earnings at June 30, 2001. The "most likely" scenario at September 30, 2001 assumed the Federal Funds rate decreases 50 basis points to 2.0% over the next three months and then increases to 3.75% over the remaining nine months of the twelve-month period. The "most likely" scenario at June 30, 2001 assumed the Federal Funds rate decreased 25 basis points over the first three months and then remained flat over the remainder of the twelve-month period. These are forward-looking statements, and actual results could differ because of several factors, including those identified in this discussion and in the discussion of Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information. The key assumptions used in simulation analysis include the following: - prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets - cash flows and maturities of all financial instruments - changes in volumes and pricing - future shapes of the yield curve - money market spreads - credit spreads - deposit sensitivity - management's financial capital plan These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulation cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest-rate changes, the difference between actual experience and the characteristics assumed, and changes in market conditions and management strategies. 36 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 INTEREST-SENSITIVE WITHIN (1) (7) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NON- 0-90 91-180 181-365 1-3 3-5 5-15 OVER 15 INTEREST- DAYS DAYS DAYS YEARS YEARS YEARS YEARS BEARING TOTAL ------- ------ ------- ------ ------ ------- ------ ------- ------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) ASSETS Loans and leases (2) (3) (4) ..... $ 9,405 $2,044 $ 3,208 $6,300 $1,861 $ 421 $ 30 $ 614 $23,883 Investment securities (5) (6) .... 539 292 420 1,751 1,038 769 172 142 5,123 Other earning assets ............. 1,564 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1,564 Other assets ..................... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 2,817 2,817 ------- ------ ------- ------ ------ ------- ------ ------- ------- TOTAL ASSETS ............. $11,508 $2,336 $ 3,628 $8,051 $2,899 $ 1,190 $ 202 $ 3,573 $33,387 ======= ====== ======= ====== ====== ======= ====== ======= ======= SOURCES OF FUNDS Money market deposits (7) (8) .... $ 1,762 $ -- $ 1,653 $1,704 $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ 5,119 Savings and interest-bearing checking deposits (7) (8) ...... 1,455 -- -- 1,455 -- 1,498 -- -- 4,408 Other time deposits .............. 2,214 1,765 1,706 1,877 322 28 2 -- 7,914 Certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over .............. 658 386 354 364 54 1 -- -- 1,817 Short-term borrowings ............ 3,224 -- 1 -- -- -- -- -- 3,225 Short- and medium-term Senior notes ................. 20 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 20 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances ...................... 500 -- 600 131 11 220 -- -- 1,462 Other long-term debt ............. 102 -- -- 75 100 800 199 -- 1,276 Noninterest-bearing deposits ..... -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 4,240 4,240 Other liabilities ................ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 695 695 Shareholders' equity ............. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3,211 3,211 ------- ------ ------- ------ ------ ------- ------ ------- ------- TOTAL SOURCES OF FUNDS ... $ 9,935 $2,151 $ 4,314 $5,606 $ 487 $ 2,547 $ 201 $ 8,146 $33,387 ======= ====== ======= ====== ====== ======= ====== ======= ======= INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVITY GAP ...... $ 1,573 $ 185 $ (686) $2,445 $2,412 $(1,357) $ 1 $(4,573) $ -- CUMULATIVE INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVITY GAP (8) .............. 1,573 1,758 1,072 3,517 5,929 4,572 4,573 -- -- CUMULATIVE GAP AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL ASSETS (8) ... 5% 5% 3% 11% 18% 14% 14% --% --% POLICY ............................ none +/-15% +/-10% +/-5% >0% >0% >0% -------------------- Management has made the following assumptions in presenting the above analysis: (1) Assets and liabilities are generally scheduled according to their earliest repricing dates regardless of their contractual maturities. (2) Nonaccrual loans and accounts receivable-factoring are included in the noninterest-bearing category. (3) Fixed-rate mortgage loan maturities include estimates of principal prepayments using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. (4) Delinquent FHA/VA loans are scheduled based on foreclosure and repayment patterns. (5) The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs assume principal prepayment of these securities calculated within a proprietary cash flow model. (6) Securities are generally scheduled according to their call dates when valued at a premium to par. (7) Money market deposits and savings deposits that have no contractual maturities are scheduled according to management's best estimate of their repricing in response to changes in market rates. The impact of changes in market rates would be expected to vary by product type and market. (8) If all money market, NOW, and savings deposits had been included in the 0-90 Days category above, the cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets would have been negative (14%), (14%), and (11%), respectively, for the 0-90 Days, 91-180 Days and 181-365 Days categories and positive 6%, 13%, 14%, and 14%, respectively, for the 1-3 Years, 3-5 Years, 5-15 Years, and over 15 Years categories at September 30, 2001. 37 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Union Planters' and/or its various subsidiaries are parties to certain pending or threatened civil actions, including an action that was filed on February 20, 2001, which are described in Item 3, Part I of the Union Planters' 2000 10-K, in Note 20 to Union Planters' consolidated financial statements, on page 67 of the 2000 Annual Report, and Note 13 to Union Planters' unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein under Item 1 of Part I.
