   Forward-Looking Statements. Statements made in this report that are not
purely historical are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), including any statements regarding
descriptions of management's plans, objectives or goals for future operations,
products or services, and forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other
measures of performance. Factors that could cause future results to vary from
current management expectations include, but are not limited to: legislation;
general economic conditions, especially in the Southeast; changes in interest
rates; deposit flows; the cost of funds; cost of federal deposit insurance
premiums; demand for loan products; demand for financial services;
competition; changes in the quality or composition of AmSouth's loan and
investment portfolios; changes in accounting principles, policies or
guidelines; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
technical factors affecting AmSouth's operations, products, services and
prices; and the outcome of litigation, which is inherently uncertain and
depends on the findings of judges and juries. Forward-looking statements in
this report speak only as of the date of this report. AmSouth does not
undertake a duty to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances
or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

                  Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000

   General--The consolidated financial statements conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

   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.

   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.

   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:

   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:

   This sensitivity test is hypothetical and isolates the potential impact of
changes in a single assumption on total fair value. 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.

                    Independent Accountants' Review Report

The Board of Directors
AmSouth Bancorporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of
AmSouth Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statement of earnings and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statement of
shareholders' equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. 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.

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
<PAGE>

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
<PAGE>

   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
<PAGE>

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.

   Table 9 presents the capital amounts and risk-adjusted capital ratios for
AmSouth and AmSouth Bank at March 31, 2001 and 2000. At March 31, 2001,
AmSouth exceeded the regulatory minimum required risk-adjusted Tier 1 Capital
Ratio of 4.00% and risk-adjusted Total Capital Ratio of 8.00%. In addition,
the risk-adjusted capital ratios for AmSouth Bank were above the regulatory
minimums, and the Bank was well capitalized at March 31, 2001.

NOTES:
1. The weighted average remaining life, which reflects the amortization on
   mortgage related and other asset-backed securities, and the weighted
   average yield on the combined held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
   portfolios at March 31, 2001, were approximately 4.4 years and 6.70%,
   respectively. Included in the combined portfolios was $7.3 billion of
   mortgage-backed securities. The weighted-average remaining life and the
   weighted-average yield of mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2001,
   were approximately 4.1 years and 6.68%, respectively. The duration of the
   combined portfolios, which considers the repricing frequency of variable
   rate securities, is approximately 2.6 years.
2. The available-for-sale portfolio included net unrealized gains of $94.8
   million and unrealized losses of $227.2 million at March 31, 2001 and 2000,
   respectively.

Operations.

                               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.
