The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in AmSouth Bancorporation's (AmSouth) 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. Accounting Changes--Effective January 1, 2001, AmSouth adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities," (Statement 133) as amended, and, at that time, designated anew the derivative instruments used for risk management into hedging relationships in accordance with the requirements of the new standard. Derivative instruments used to hedge changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates were designated as fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges. The impact of adopting Statement 133 on AmSouth's financial condition was a net-of-tax increase to other comprehensive income of approximately $5,650,000, of which $2,031,000 is expected to be reclassified into earnings during 2001 due to the receipt of variable interest on its hedged variable rate loans. The impact to net income of adopting Statement 133 was immaterial. AmSouth also recorded an increase to other comprehensive income of $26,612,000 as a result of transferring $2,107,919,000 of securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale in conjunction with the adoption of Statement 133. The transition amounts were determined based on the interpretive guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to date. The FASB continues to issue interpretive guidance which could require changes to AmSouth's application of Statement 133 and adjustments to the transition amounts. In September 2000, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (Statement 140), was issued by the FASB. Statement 140 replaces Statement 125, issued in June 1996. Statement 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of Statement 125's provisions without reconsideration. Statement 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001, except for certain paragraphs related to the isolation standards for financial institutions subject to receivership by the FDIC or other affected entities. For these entities, Statement 140's isolation standards would be effective for transfers of financial assets occurring after December 31, 2001. Therefore, affected institutions will have until December 31, 2001, to modify documents establishing securitization structures to comply with the new isolation standards. AmSouth is reviewing its conduit and securitization structures under this new guidance and plans to make any necessary revisions in the structure of these transactions to ensure these sales comply with the new guidance. The expanded disclosures about securitizations and collateral are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of Statement 140 will not have a material impact on AmSouth's financial condition or results of operations. Cash Flows--For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, AmSouth paid interest of $371,005,000 and $401,652,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, AmSouth received income tax refunds of $38,686,000, and during the three months ended March 31, 2000, AmSouth paid income taxes of $558,000. Noncash transfers from loans to foreclosed properties for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, were $5,551,000 and $10,104,000, respectively, and noncash transfers from foreclosed properties to loans were $85,000 and $164,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, noncash transfers from loans to available-for- sale securities and to other assets of approximately $9,450,000 and $229,000, respectively, were made in connection with the participation of mortgages to third-party conduits. 7 Derivatives--In accordance with Statement 133, AmSouth recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition at fair value. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, AmSouth designates the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in other noninterest revenue during the period of the change in fair values. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in other noninterest income during the period of change. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. Fair Value Hedging Strategy--AmSouth has entered into interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk exposure management purposes. The interest rate swap agreements utilized by AmSouth effectively modify AmSouth's exposure to interest risk by converting a portion of AmSouth's fixed-rate certificates of deposit to floating rate. AmSouth also has interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert portions of its fixed-rate long-term debt to floating rate. During the period ended March 31, 2001, AmSouth recognized a net gain of $50,000 related to the ineffective portion of its hedging instruments. Cash Flow Hedging Strategy--AmSouth has entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest income. Approximately $925,000,000 of AmSouth's loans were designated as the hedged items to the interest rate swaps agreements at March 31, 2001. During the period ended March 31, 2001, AmSouth recognized a net gain of $138,000 related to the ineffective portion of its hedging instruments. Comprehensive Income--Total comprehensive income was $214.4 million and $116.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total comprehensive income consists of net income, the change in the unrealized gains or losses on AmSouth's available-for-sale securities portfolio arising during the period and the effective portion of cash flow hedges marked to market. 8 Earnings Per Common Share--The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share: Three Months Ended March 31 ----------------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- (In thousands except per share data) Earnings per common share computation: Numerator: Net income.............................................. $126,211 $138,937 Denominator: Average common shares outstanding....................... 372,246 391,596 Earnings per common share................................. $ .34 $ .35 Diluted earnings per common share computation: Numerator: Net income.............................................. $126,211 $138,937 Denominator: Average common shares outstanding....................... 372,246 391,596 Dilutive shares contingently issuable................... 2,694 2,906 -------- -------- Average diluted common shares outstanding.............. 374,940 394,502 Diluted earnings per common share......................... $ .34 $ .35 Shareholders' Equity--On April 20, 2000, AmSouth's Board of Directors approved the repurchase by AmSouth of up to 35.0 million shares of its outstanding common stock over a two year period for the purpose of funding employee benefit and dividend reinvestment plans and for general corporate purposes. Through March 31, 2001, 26.7 million shares have been purchased under this authorization at a cost of $443.3 million. Cash dividends of $0.21 per common share were declared in the first quarter of 2001. This represents a five percent increase over the dividend paid during the first quarter of 2000. 9 Business Segment Information--AmSouth has three reportable segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Wealth Management. Treasury & Other is comprised of balance sheet management activities that include the investment portfolio, nondeposit funding and off-balance sheet financial instruments. Treasury & Other also includes income from bank owned life insurance policies, net gains on sales of fixed assets, merger-related costs, and corporate expenses such as corporate overhead and goodwill amortization. As a result of the sale of IFC Holdings, Inc. (IFC) at the end of the third quarter of 2000, all revenues and expenses of IFC for 2000 have been reclassified into Treasury & Other from Wealth Management. The following is a summary of the segment performance for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000: Consumer Commercial Wealth Treasury Banking Banking Management & Other Total -------- ---------- ---------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 Net interest income from external customers........ $ 96,606 $ 176,833 $ (388) $ 56,792 $329,843 Internal funding........... 135,514 (81,114) 1,197 (55,597) -0- -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Net interest income........ 232,120 95,719 809 1,195 329,843 Noninterest revenues....... 81,282 25,462 52,724 22,833 182,301 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Total revenues............. 313,402 121,181 53,533 24,028 512,144 Provision for loan losses.. 28,652 9,336 -0- 212 38,200 Noninterest expenses....... 170,642 46,523 39,227 31,675 288,067 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Income/(loss) before income taxes..................... 114,108 65,322 14,306 (7,859) 185,877 Income taxes/(benefits).... 42,951 24,519 5,360 (13,164) 59,666 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Segment net income......... $ 71,157 $ 40,803 $ 8,946 $ 5,305 $126,211 ======== ========= ======= ======== ======== Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Net interest income from external customers........ $112,689 $ 209,991 $ (162) $ 46,055 $368,573 Internal funding........... 115,712 (103,857) 601 (12,456) -0- -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Net interest income........ 228,401 106,134 439 33,599 368,573 Noninterest revenues....... 82,119 20,993 46,959 69,966 220,037 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Total revenues............. 310,520 127,127 47,398 103,565 588,610 Provision for loan losses.. 21,270 4,114 -0- 16 25,400 Noninterest expenses....... 179,665 39,512 39,918 96,262 355,357 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Income before income taxes..................... 109,585 83,501 7,480 7,287 207,853 Income taxes/(benefits).... 41,204 31,396 2,813 (6,497) 68,916 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- Segment net income......... $ 68,381 $ 52,105 $ 4,667 $ 13,784 $138,937 ======== ========= ======= ======== ======== 10 Securitizations--During the period ended March 31, 2001, there were no securitizations or transfers to the dealer conduits or residential mortgage conduits. Therefore, no gains or losses on transfers were recognized during the period ended March 31, 2001. No gains or losses were recognized on commercial loans sold to third-party conduits nor was any retained interest recorded due to the relatively short life of the commercial loans sold into the conduits (average life of 30 days). The following table provides the assumptions used in the subsequent valuation of retained interests at March 31, 2001, the cash flows received from and paid to third-party conduits and securitization trusts during the year and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to a hypothetical immediate 10 and 20 percent adverse change in the current assumptions: Residential Dealer Mortgage Conduit Dealer Conduit Securitization ---------------- -------------- -------------- (Dollars in millions) Cash flow information: Servicing fees and retained interests..................... $ 7.6 $ 5.3 $ 2.1 Valuation assumptions at March 31, 2001: Discount rate.................. 15-20% 15% 15% Prepayment rate................ 15-25% CPR 1 1/2% ABS 1 1/2% ABS Weighted average life (years).. 3.61 1.34 1.41 Expected credit losses......... .15% 1.35% 1.33% Residual cash flow sensitivity: Fair value of servicing and retained interests at March 31, 2001...................... $ 57.5 $19.8 $36.2 Prepayment speed: 10% change..................

These and other assumptions used in the calculation of fair values may in fact exhibit some correlation (which would potentially magnify the impact of a scenario) or may exhibit some negative correlation (which would potentially have some partial offsetting benefit). Also, changes in assumptions do not provide linear results. Thus, it is not possible to extrapolate the impact of other scenarios from these projections. 11 The following table presents managed loan information on loans which have been securitized or sold to conduits. This information includes the total principal amount outstanding, the portion that has been derecognized and the portion that continues to be recognized in the statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2001, along with quantitative information about delinquencies and net credit losses (in millions).

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated statement of condition of AmSouth Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated January 31, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 2000 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP May 11, 2001 13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview AmSouth Bancorporation (AmSouth) recorded net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 of $126.2 million, a 9.2 percent decrease compared to last year's first quarter earnings of $138.9 million. Diluted earnings per share was $.34 for the first quarter of 2001, down 2.9 percent from $.35 for the same period of 2000. Return on average assets was 1.33 percent for the first quarter of 2001 compared to 1.28 percent for the same period in 2000. Return on equity decreased to 18.08 percent for the first three months of 2001 from 18.96 percent for the first quarter of 2000. The decrease in net income reflected lower net interest income and noninterest revenues as well as higher provision charges for loan losses. These items were offset by an 18.9 percent decrease in noninterest expenses in the quarter compared to the same period in 2000. The year over year decrease reflects the impact of the sale of approximately $5 billion in earning assets during 2000 and the third quarter sale of IFC Holdings, Inc. (IFC). See "Net Interest Income" and "Noninterest Revenues and Noninterest Expenses" for additional discussion. Total assets at March 31, 2001 were $38.8 billion compared to $43.7 billion at March 31, 2000, while total interest-earning assets were $35.3 billion at March 31, 2001 compared to $39.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2000. These decreases reflected the impact of securities and loans sales associated with the third quarter 2000 financial restructuring. Loans net of unearned income at March 31, 2001 decreased $2.1 billion from March 31, 2000 to $24.5 billion. The investment portfolio, which consists of available-for- sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM) securities, decreased to $9.0 billion at March 31, 2001, compared to $12.9 billion at March 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the balance sheet restructuring in the third quarter of 2000. On January 1, 2001, AmSouth transferred approximately $2.1 billion of securities from HTM to AFS in conjunction with AmSouth's adoption of Statement 133. On the funding side of the balance sheet, total deposits at March 31, 2001 decreased by $2.1 billion compared to March 31, 2000. Excluding the $1.2 billion decrease in foreign time deposits (Eurodollar deposits), domestic deposits declined by $949 million. Decreases in domestic deposits occurred in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits. These decreases were partially offset by increases in interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowed funds decreased by $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, compared to March 31, 2000. The decrease reflects the use of proceeds from the restructuring transactions to reduce short-term borrowings including foreign time deposits. Net Interest Income Net interest income (NII) on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $329.8 million, a decrease of $38.7 million, or 10.5%, as compared to the first quarter of 2000. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in average interest-earning assets for the quarter, resulting from the third quarter 2000 financial restructuring. Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2001 were $35.1 billion, a decrease of $4.9 billion from the same period of 2000. However, the net interest margin improved 16 basis points to 3.93% as the financial restructuring removed lower yielding assets from the balance sheet and freed up funds to pay down higher cost borrowings. Average borrowings for the quarter decreased to $8.7 billion, a $3.5 billion decrease from $12.2 billion during the first quarter of 2000. Further margin expansion was limited by AmSouth's $1.7 billion average position in lower-yielding federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell during the first quarter. As loan demand accelerates, AmSouth's plan is to shift these funds into higher yielding loans, raising the level of loans on the balance sheet and expanding the margin. Future interest-earning asset growth is expected to moderate in a range of four to six percent on an annualized basis. Management is also actively working to increase core deposits as a means of funding asset growth. AmSouth expects its net interest margin to improve to a range of 4.00 to 4.20 percent for the full year 2001. 14 Asset/Liability Management AmSouth maintains a formal asset and liability management process to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk and to assist management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. AmSouth accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize NII performance under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines. An earnings simulation model is the primary tool used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in NII resulting from changes in interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on mortgage- related assets; cash flows and maturities of derivatives and other financial instruments held for purposes other than trading; changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing; deposit volume, mix and rate sensitivity; customer preferences; and management's financial and capital plans. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate NII or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on NII. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management's strategies, among other factors. Based on the results of the simulation model as of March 31, 2001, AmSouth would expect NII to increase $8 million or approximately 0.5 percent and decrease $10 million or approximately 0.7 percent if interest rates gradually increase or decrease, respectively, from current rates by 100 basis points over a 12-month period. This level of interest rate risk is within AmSouth's policy guidelines. As of March 31, 2000, the simulation model indicated that NII would decrease $36.9 million and increase $35.6 million if interest rates gradually increased or decreased, respectively, from their current rates by 100 basis points over a 12-month period. The reduction in AmSouth's interest sensitivity compared to the first quarter of 2000 was primarily the result of the financial restructuring initiated in the third quarter of 2000. As part of the financial restructuring, AmSouth sold $4.0 billion of low-yielding fixed-rate investment securities and securitized and sold approximately $1.0 billion of low-yielding fixed-rate automobile loans. These fixed-rate assets were primarily funded by floating-rate overnight and other short-term borrowings. This action reduced the impact of interest rate fluctuations on NII. In comparison to December 31, 2000 results, the simulation model at March 31, 2001 showed a slight increase in AmSouth's interest rate sensitivity. The change in the results of the simulation model reflected an extension of the maturities of commercial paper used by off-balance sheet conduits to fund loans previously purchased from AmSouth. The extension of the commercial paper maturities, which occurred during the first quarter of 2001, reduced the impact of interest rate changes, over a 12-month period, on the interest spread received by AmSouth on these loans. In addition, changes in the market dynamics as a result of Federal Reserve rate cuts during the first quarter, changes in the forecasted mix of earning assets and changes in AmSouth's deposit pricing strategy also impacted the change in the interest sensitivity results from year-end results. As part of its activities to manage interest rate risk, AmSouth, from time to time, utilizes various derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and floors. There were maturities, calls and closeouts of interest rate swaps totaling $70 million during the first three months of 2001. At March 31, 2001, AmSouth had interest rate swaps, all of which receive fixed rates, totaling a notional amount of $2.6 billion. At March 31, 2001, AmSouth also held other derivative instruments to provide customers and AmSouth a means of managing the risks of changing interest and foreign exchange rates. These other derivative instruments were immaterial. Credit Quality AmSouth maintains an allowance for loan losses which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A formal review is prepared quarterly to assess the risk in the portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The review includes analyses of historical performance, the level of nonperforming and adversely rated loans, specific analyses of certain problem loans, loan activity since the previous quarter, reports prepared by the Credit Review Department, consideration of current economic conditions, and other pertinent information. The level of allowance to net loans outstanding will vary depending on the overall results of this quarterly review. The review is presented to and subsequently approved by senior management and reviewed by the Audit and Community Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors. 15 Table 5 presents a five-quarter analysis of the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $380.6 million, or 1.55% of loans net of unearned income, compared to $353.8 million, or 1.33%, for the prior year. This increase primarily reflects a deterioration of credit quality in AmSouth's syndicated commercial loan portfolio primarily due to a weakening economy. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 181.84% at March 31, 2001, a decrease from the March 31, 2000 ratio of 289.12%. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, were $38.0 million, an increase of $12.6 million from $25.4 million a year earlier. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans net of unearned income were .63% and .38%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase in net charge-offs occurred primarily in the commercial loan and the dealer indirect automobile portfolios and primarily reflected the impact of a slowing economy. Commercial loan net charge-offs increased $7.4 million for the three months versus the same period of 2000. Net charge-offs in AmSouth's dealer indirect portfolio increased $1.9 million for the first three months of 2001 versus the same period of the prior year. In addition, net charge-offs for the revolving credit portfolio and other consumer portfolio increased $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus the same period of the prior year. Annualized net charge-offs for the commercial and consumer loan portfolios were .40% and 1.03%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to .17% and .74%, respectively, for the same period of 2000. Consistent with the increased charge-offs, the provision for loan losses for the first quarter was $38.2 million compared to $25.4 million for the year-earlier period. Table 6 presents a five-quarter comparison of the components of nonperforming assets. At March 31, 2001, nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans net of unearned income, foreclosed properties and repossessions increased 38 basis points to .93% compared to .55% at March 31, 2000. The level of nonperforming assets increased $82.4 million during the same period. Included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 and 2000, was $152.5 million and $58.3 million, respectively, in loans that were considered to be impaired, substantially all of which were on a nonaccrual basis. Collateral- dependent loans, which were measured at the fair value of the collateral, constituted a majority of these impaired loans. At March 31, 2001 and 2000, there was $59.3 million and $21.2 million, respectively, in the allowance for loan losses specifically allocated to these impaired loans. The average balance of impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, was $128.5 million and $63.7 million, respectively. AmSouth recorded no material interest income on its impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Noninterest Revenues and Noninterest Expenses For the three months ended March 31, 2001, noninterest revenues (NIR) totaled $182.3 million, compared to $220.0 million for the prior-year period, a 17.1% decrease. The decrease in NIR was primarily due to the sale of IFC in the third quarter of 2000. Excluding the revenues from IFC, NIR in the first quarter of 2001 would have shown an increase of 4.9% from an adjusted $173.8 million of NIR in 2000. This increase in NIR versus the prior year first quarter was primarily due to higher consumer investment services income, service charges on deposits, trust income and bank owned life insurance (BOLI) income offset by a decrease in mortgage and portfolio income. IFC contributed $44.4 million of consumer investment services income during the first quarter of 2000. Excluding IFC, consumer investment services income in the first quarter of 2001 increased by $3.4 million or approximately 17.0 percent versus the first quarter of 2000. The increase reflected higher annuity income associated with the continued strong performance of AmSouth's platform annuity sales program. The increase in service charge income was primarily the result of higher treasury management fees as a result of higher sales to corporate customers and new opportunities created by the merger with First American Corporation (First American). The increase in service charge income also reflected higher revenue from overdraft and NSF fees. Trust income increased by $1.4 million compared to the same period of 2000 adjusted for the impact of the IFC sale. The growth occurred despite the substantial declines in the capital markets and was primarily generated from new business won during the fourth and first quarters as well as early stage success with AmSouth's wealth management initiative. Income from BOLI increased $1.9 million as a result of AmSouth receiving a benefit payment in the first quarter of 2001. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in mortgage income of 16 0$5.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2000. This decline reflected a $7.3 million decrease in gains from the sale of mortgage loans to third-party conduits offset by higher gains on the sale of mortgage servicing of approximately $2.1 million. Portfolio income decreased as a result of fewer sales of available-for-sale securities in 2001. Management anticipates that sustainable noninterest revenue growth in a range of five to eight percent may be achievable with the strongest growth coming in consumer investment services. Noninterest expenses decreased 18.9% to $288.1 million at March 31, 2001, compared to $355.4 million for the prior year. Excluding the impact of merger- related charges and expenses related to IFC recorded in the first quarter of 2000, NIE decreased 1.9 percent or $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $293.5 million in the same period of 2000. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $4.2 million when compared to the same period a year ago adjusted for the IFC sale. This decrease reflects synergies achieved as a result of the merger with First American partially offset by merit increases. Excluding the impact of IFC, marketing expense decreased $3.4 million or 28.8% to $8.5 million primarily due to cost control initiatives implemented in 2000. Equipment expense, excluding IFC, decreased 5.7% to $30.3 million, primarily due to synergies achieved as a result of the merger with First American. Net occupancy expense, adjusted for the IFC sale, decreased $1.3 million due primarily to branch closures and sales. As a result of the sale of IFC, no expense for subscriber commissions occurred in the first quarter of 2001, compared to $30.6 million in the same period last year. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in other noninterest expenses associated with higher collection charges and non-credit losses. Capital Adequacy At March 31, 2001, shareholders' equity totaled $2.9 billion or 7.4% of total assets. Since December 31, 2000, shareholders' equity increased $70.4 million primarily as a result of net income for the quarter of $126.2 million. In addition, shareholders' equity increased $75.2 million as a result of higher valuation of the AFS portfolio, of which $26.6 million was a result of transferring approximately $2.1 billion of securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale in conjunction with AmSouth's adoption of Statement 133. The increase in shareholders' equity also reflected $12.9 million of other comprehensive income associated with cash flow hedges, of which $5.7 million related to the initial adoption of Statement 133. These increases in shareholders' equity were offset by the declaration of dividends of $81.3 million and the purchase of 4.3 million shares of AmSouth common stock for $73.6 million during the first quarter.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The information required by this item is included on page 15 of Part 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Several of AmSouth's subsidiaries are defendants in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings seek relief or damages that are substantial. The actions relate to AmSouth's lending, collections, loan servicing, deposit taking, investment, trust, and other activities. Among the actions which are pending against AmSouth subsidiaries are actions filed as class actions. The actions are similar to others that have been brought in recent years against financial institutions in that they seek punitive damage awards in transactions involving relatively small amounts of actual damages. A disproportionately higher number of the lawsuits against AmSouth have been filed in Mississippi relative to the amount of deposits held by AmSouth in Mississippi. In addition, lawsuits brought in Alabama and Mississippi against AmSouth and other corporate defendants typically demand higher damages than similar lawsuits brought elsewhere. Legislation has been enacted in Alabama that is designed to limit the potential amount of punitive damages that can be recovered in individual cases in the future. However, AmSouth cannot predict the effect of the legislation at this time. It may take a number of years to finally resolve some of these legal proceedings pending against AmSouth subsidiaries, due to their complexity and for other reasons. It is not possible to determine with any certainty at this time the corporation's potential exposure from the proceedings. At times, class actions are settled by defendants without admission or even an actual finding of wrongdoing but with payment of some compensation to purported class members and large attorney's fees to plaintiff class counsel. Nonetheless, based upon the advice of legal counsel, AmSouth's management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on AmSouth's financial condition or results of operations.
