                   UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. 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 No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 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 133 by issuing
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 133.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 adopted
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 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


                                       7
   8

                  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 is being 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 Heritage 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 June
30, 2001, 2.3 million shares had been purchased and retired.

         On March 19, 2001, Union Planters entered into an accelerated share
repurchase agreement to purchase one million shares of the Company's common
stock. As of June 30, 2001, all of the shares had been purchased and retired at
an average cost of $38.05 per share.

         MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING. Union Planters was acting as servicing agent
for residential mortgage loans totaling approximately $13.8 billion at June 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 fair
value of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2001 was $167.1 million. The fair
value calculation assumes current dealer consensus prepayment speeds, a market
value cost of servicing, and a market discount rate. The following table
presents a reconciliation of the changes in mortgage servicing rights for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

         Applicable income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 were $56.1 million and $110.7 million, respectively, resulting in an
effective tax rate of 33.92% for both periods. Applicable income taxes for the
same periods in 2000 were $51.4 million and $103.4 million, respectively,
resulting in effective tax rates of 33.31% and 33.60%, respectively. The
increase in the effective 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 six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 was $3.0 million and $29,920, respectively.

         At June 30, 2001, Union Planters had a net deferred tax asset of $100.0
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 8. 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.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

         Certain of Union Planters' banking and thrift subsidiaries had
outstanding advances, with original maturity dates of greater than one year,
from the FHLB under Blanket Agreements for Advances and Security Agreements (the
Agreements). 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 outstanding advances. At June 30, 2001, Union Planters had an adequate
amount of mortgage-backed securities and loans to satisfy the collateral
requirements. A summary of the advances is as follows:

(1)      Parent company noninterest income and earnings before income taxes are
         net of the intercompany dividend eliminations of $2.0 million and $89.8
         million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
         respectively, and $105.5 million and $160.4 million, respectively, for
         the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

(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 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

         Union Planters and/or various subsidiaries are parties to certain
pending or threatened civil actions which are described in Item 3, Part I of
Union Planters' 2000 10-K, in Note 20 to Union Planters' consolidated financial
statements on page 67 of the 2000 Annual Report, and in Item 1, Part II of this
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 believes 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 second quarter of 2001 in any
of the pending or threatened actions that affected such opinion.

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 six months ended June 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 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

         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.

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

                        SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OVERVIEW

         For the second quarter of 2001, Union Planters reported cash operating
earnings, which excludes the after tax impact of nonoperating items and goodwill
and other intangibles, of $123.1 million, or $.89 per diluted common share. This
compared to cash operating earnings for the same period in 2000 of $113.8
million, or $.84 per diluted common share and $120.3 million, or $.87 per
diluted common share for the first quarter of 2001. Cash operating earnings for
the second quarter of 2001 resulted in annualized returns on average assets,
average common equity, and average tangible common equity of 1.42%, 16.08%, and
23.55%, respectively, which compares to 1.35%, 16.30%, and 24.85%, respectively,
for the same period in 2000.

         Net earnings were $109.3 million, or $.79 per diluted common share, for
the second quarter of 2001, an increase from $102.9 million, or $.76 per diluted
common share, for the same period in 2000. These earnings represented annualized
returns on average assets and average common equity of 1.26% and 14.28%,
respectively, compared to 1.22% and 14.73%, respectively, for the same period in
2000.

                                EARNINGS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2001 was
$324.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million over the same quarter last year and
a $4.4 million increase over the first quarter of 2001. The components of this
change were improved pricing of loan products and the decline in core funding
costs during the second quarter.

         The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2001 was 4.11%, which
compares to 4.19% and 4.05%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2000 and
first quarter of 2001. The interest-rate spread was 3.42% for the second quarter
of 2001, an increase from 3.34% for the first quarter of 2001, and down from
3.50% for the second quarter of 2000.

         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.

         Taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $12.6 million for the
second 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
8.31% to 7.89%, which reduced interest income by $40.9 million. The decline in
yield is attributable primarily to the decreasing-interest-rate trend. Partially
offsetting this decrease was a 3.02% increase in average earning assets,
primarily loans, which increased interest income $28.3 million. Compared to the
first quarter of 2001, interest income decreased $34.5 million, which was
attributable primarily to a decline in the average yield on earning assets.

         For the first half of 2001, interest income increased $35.0 million
compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by a $1.5 billion
increase in average earning assets, which increased interest income $72.9
million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield
on earning assets from 8.24% to 8.10%, or a $37.9 million decrease in interest
income.

         The decline in interest income during the second quarter of 2001 is a
result of a decrease in interest rates during the quarter. While the average
yields on earning assets declined, 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 two 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 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.

         Interest expense decreased $16.8 million in the second 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 4.81% to 4.47%,
which resulted from the decreasing interest-rate environment. This reduction in
rates paid decreased interest expense $26.1 million. Partially offsetting this
decrease was a 1.7% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, which
increased interest expense $9.3 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2001,
interest expense decreased $38.8 million due primarily to the decline in
interest rates. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased
from 4.97% to 4.47%, which reduced interest expense $31.7 million. Also
contributing to the decrease was a $741 million reduction in average
interest-bearing liabilities, which reduced interest expense $7.1 million. This
decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in short-term borrowings partially
offset by increases in interest-bearing deposits and long-term debt.

         For the first half of 2001, interest expense increased $34.3 million.
The increase was driven by a 4.2% increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities, which increased interest expense $37.0 million. The increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities related to interest-bearing deposits and
long-term debt; this growth was partially offset by a decrease in short-term
borrowings. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a reduction
in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which reduced interest expense
$2.7 million.

         The decreases in interest rates in 2001 by the Federal Reserve and an
additional decrease, which management anticipates in the third quarter of 2001,
are expected to lower Union Planters' borrowing cost. The reduction in
short-term borrowings during the second 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 because of 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 second quarter of 2001 was
$28.9 million, or .45% of average loans on an annualized basis. This compares to
$25.3 million, or .41% of average loans, for the first quarter of 2001 and $19.7
million, or .35% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2000. The higher
provision for losses on loans in the first and second quarters of 2001 is
attributable to the growth of loans and the downturn in the economy and the
resulting increase in nonperforming loans. 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 second quarter of 2001 was $187.2 million,
an increase of $22.3 million, or 13.5%, from the first quarter of 2001 and an
increase of $48.7 million, or 35.1%, from the second quarter of 2000. Included
in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2001 was an investment
securities gain of $8.3 million. For the same period in 2000, noninterest income
included $4.8 million resulting from the reversion of excess assets of a pension
plan of an acquired entity. Both of these items are considered nonoperating by
management.


                                       20
   21

         Growth of noninterest income continues to be one of management's
priorities. Operating noninterest income as a percentage of total revenues
increased to 36.1% in the second quarter of 2001, compared to 30.0% for the same
quarter last year and 34.6% for the first quarter of 2001. The major components
of noninterest income are presented on the consolidated statement of earnings
and in Note 6 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The
strong growth in noninterest income is attributable to successful efforts in
several areas. Additionally, the Jefferson Heritage acquisition in February 2001
and the Strategic Outsourcing, Inc. (SOI) acquisition in April 2000 contributed
to the growth.

         MORTGAGE BANKING REVENUES. These revenues increased $21.3 million in
the second quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and increased
$4.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2001. For the first half of 2001,
mortgage banking revenues increased $40.0 million, or 84.5%, to $87.4 million.
The lower interest-rate environment, which increased mortgage loan production
and the level of mortgage refinancing activity, and the divestiture of home
mortgage loans were the primary drivers of this growth. In the second quarter of
2001, Union Planters sold $258 million of loans, which resulted in a gain of
$2.8 million.

         SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. These fees increased 26.0% to
$56.3 million for the second quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in
2000. Service charges on deposit accounts were $53.4 million for the first
quarter of 2001. For the first half of 2001, these fees increased $23.0 million,
or 26.5%. 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 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. Union Planters acquired SOI in April 2000. Net SOI revenues were
$6.1 million for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $4.6 million
compared to the same period in 2000 and level with the first quarter of 2001.
For the first six months of 2001, net SOI revenues were $12.1 million compared
to $1.5 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
$1.9 million to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the
second quarter last year. These revenues increased $1.6 million from the first
quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, these revenues
were $21.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

         INSURANCE AND INVESTMENTS. This category of noninterest income is
comprised of insurance commissions, annuity sales commissions, and brokerage fee
income. For the second quarter of 2001, these revenues were $12.0 million, an
increase of $333,000 from the first quarter of 2001 and a decrease of $857,000
from the second quarter of 2000. For the first half of 2001, insurance and
investments were $23.7 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period in
2000. The decrease in these revenues resulted primarily from declines in
brokerage fees and annuity sales income. During the second quarter of 2001,
brokerage fee income increased due to the improving stock market.

         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 increased $916,000 to $2.2 million for the second
quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter of 2000. Compared to the first
quarter of 2001, these revenues decreased $549,000. For the first half of 2001,
SBA trading revenues increased $2.2 million over the same period in 2000.

         Union Planters has a limited partnership investment of $10.3 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 $1.8 million and $578,000,
respectively, for the second quarter of 2001 compared to the same period last
year and compared to the first quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June
30, 2001, earnings from this investment were $3.3 million, an increase of $3.1
million from the same period a year ago.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

         Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2001 was $309.0 million,
which compares to $275.9 million for the second quarter of 2000 and $289.7
million for the first quarter of 2001. For the first six months of 2001,
noninterest expense was $598.7 million compared to $547.6 million for the same
period in 2000. The Company's efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2001
was 56.52%, compared to 56.31% for the first quarter of 2001 and 57.27% for the
second quarter of 2000.

         The Jefferson Heritage acquisition (February 2001) and SOI acquisition
(April 2000) increased noninterest expense approximately $8 million and $16
million for the second quarter and first half of 2001, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 2000. Also, during the second quarter of 2001 mortgage
production increased as interest rates decreased. The increased production
increased expenses in the mortgage operations $1.6 million over the first
quarter of 2001 and $7.3 million over the second quarter of 2000. The major
components of noninterest expense are presented on the consolidated statement of
earnings and in Note 6 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 $5.6 million for the second
quarter of 2001 to $133.2 million when compared to the second quarter of 2000.
Compared to the first quarter of 2001, these expenses increased $827,000. For
the first half of 2001, salaries and employee benefits increased $9.2 million
over the same period last year. At June 30, 2001, Union Planters had 12,358
full-time equivalent employees, compared to 12,639 and 12,608, respectively, at
June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2001.

         The increase in salaries and employee benefit expense was driven
partially by the Jefferson Heritage and SOI acquisitions. Also contributing to
the increase was increased incentive compensation due to higher levels of
production, primarily in mortgage operations.

         OCCUPANCY AND EQUIPMENT EXPENSE. Net occupancy and equipment expense
was $48.4 million for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $3.6 million
and $535,000, respectively, from the second quarter of 2000 and first quarter of
2001. These expenses increased due to the Jefferson Heritage and SOI
acquisitions and increased operating costs. For the first half of 2001 these
expenses were $96.3 million, an increase of $7.0 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 Heritage and SOI acquisitions.

         MORTGAGE INTANGIBLES EXPENSE. The lower interest-rate environment
during the first quarter of 2001 resulted in increased amortization of mortgage
servicing rights as well as a valuation allowance. During the second quarter of
2001, "prepayment speeds" slowed, which resulted in a slower amortization rate
and the first quarter valuation allowance was reversed. For the second quarter
of 2001, these expenses decreased $562,000 compared to the same period in 2000
and $6.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2001. For the first half of
2001, these expenses increased $5.1 million compared to the same period in 2000.
The increase this year over last year relates to the higher level of mortgage
production.

         UPEXCEL PROJECT EXPENSE. During the first quarter of 2001, Union
Planters started 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 will begin. 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 second quarter of 2001
are $8.0 million of costs related to this project, which were considered a
nonoperating expense item by management. UPExcel is designed to be fully
implemented over the next 18 months. 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 second quarter and first half of
2001, miscellaneous charge-offs increased $2.5 million and $5.3 million,
respectively. The increase over the same period last year was partially due to a
recovery of previously charged-off items in the first quarter of 2000 and to a
higher level of losses in 2001. Compared to the first quarter of 2001,
miscellaneous charge-offs increased $2.8 million.

         Provisions for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims increased $2.4
million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Compared to the first quarter of
2001 the increase was $3.0 million.


                                       22
   23

         Advertising and promotion expense for the second quarter of 2001
increased $2.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2001 and increased
$572,000 compared to the second quarter of 2000. For the first half of 2001,
advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.8 million compared to the same
period in 2000.

         Credit-related expenses (expenses related to origination of loan
products) increased $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $5.8 million
compared to the second quarter of 2000. This compares to an increase of $2.7
million over the first quarter of 2001. For the first six months of 2001, these
expenses increased $5.2 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.

FTE = Fully taxable-equivalent basis

(1)      The change due to both rate and volume has been allocated to change due
         to volume and change due to rate in proportion to the relationship of
         the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Union Planters' total assets were $34.5 billion at June 30, 2001,
compared to $34.2 billion at June 30, 2000 and $34.7 billion at December 31,
2000. Average assets were $34.7 billion for the second quarter of 2001 compared
to $33.9 billion for the second quarter of 2000. The increase in average assets
relates primarily to the Jefferson Heritage acquisition (see Note 2 to the
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements).

         Earning assets at June 30, 2001 were $31.5 billion compared to $31.6
billion at December 31, 2000 and $32.5 billion at March 31, 2001. Average
earning assets were $31.7 billion for the second quarter of 2001 which compares
to $30.8 billion for the same period last year and compared to $32.1 billion for
the first quarter of 2001.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

         Union Planters' investment securities portfolio of $5.3 billion at June
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
$7.0 billion and $6.8 billion at June 30, 2000 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.

         During the second quarter of 2001, management restructured the
investment securities portfolio to minimize the Company's interest-rate risk,
enhance liquidity, reduce short-term borrowings, and improve the rate of return
on earning assets. As part of this restructuring, Union Planters sold $1.0
billion of its available for sale investment securities portfolio in the
quarter, which resulted in a gain of $8.3 million.

         At June 30, 2001, these securities had net unrealized gains of $86.2
million (before income taxes). This compares to net unrealized losses of $237.5
million and $5.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2000 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 5 to the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements which provides the composition of the investment portfolio
at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.


                                       27

   28

         U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency obligations represented
approximately 54.9% of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2001,
(81.0% 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.

         The limited credit risk in the investment securities portfolio at June
30, 2001 consisted of 17.4% investment grade CMOs, 22.4% municipal obligations,
and 5.3% other stocks and securities (primarily Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB
stock).

LOANS

         Loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2001 were $24.5 billion
compared to $23.3 billion and $24.0 billion at June 30, 2000 and December 31,
2000, respectively. Loans held for resale were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2001
compared to $356.9 million and $457.1 million, respectively, at June 30 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
3 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 $25.5 billion for the
second quarter of 2001 compared to $22.6 billion for the same quarter in 2000
and compared to $24.9 billion for the first quarter of 2001. The loan growth has
been driven by continued strong mortgage production, the acquisition of
Jefferson Heritage in the first quarter of 2001, and growth of the majority of
other loan categories, except for consumer loans, primarily indirect lending,
which have declined. During the first and second quarters of 2001, loan sales
have partially offset the growth.

         Excluding the impact of these loan divestitures and Jefferson Heritage
acquisition, average loans increased approximately 8.9% compared to the same
quarter last year. This growth consisted of 12.2% in residential real estate
loans, 19.5% other mortgage loans, and 6.2% growth in commercial, construction,
financial, and agricultural loans. Consumer loans declined 8.5% over this
period. The slowing of the economy has slowed loan growth and future growth will
depend on the duration of the slowdown.

         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 June 30, 2001, approximately 30% 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.

(1)      Ratio calculations exclude FHA/VA government-insured/guaranteed loans
         (FHA/VA loans), since they represent minimal credit risk.
(2)      Amounts annualized for June 30, 2001 and 2000.

         The allowance at June 30, 2001 was $342.9 million, an increase of $7.4
million from December 31, 2000. The allowance at June 30, 2000 was $345.9
million. The increase in the allowance from December 31, 2000 related to a $5.8
million increase from the acquisition of Jefferson Heritage and the provision
for losses on loans exceeding net charge-offs by $4.3 million for the first half
of 2001. These increases were somewhat offset by a $2.6 million reduction due to
loan sales.

         Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .43%
for the second quarter of 2001 (.40% for the first half of 2001), an increase
over .35% for the second quarter of 2000 (.30% for the first half of 2000) and
up from .37% for the first quarter of 2001. The higher levels of charge-offs
were primarily related to the slowing economy.

(1)      See the preceding table for the amount of FHA/VA government-insured
         guaranteed/loans on nonaccrual and past due 90 days or more and still
         accruing interest.

         LOANS OTHER THAN FHA/VA LOANS. Nonperforming assets increased $50.3
million over the first quarter of 2001 and $113.1 million over June 30, 2000.
With a slowing of the economy, a general increase in all categories of
nonperforming assets has been experienced in 2001. The increase in the second
quarter of 2001 related primarily to two loans being placed on nonaccrual
status. These loans are secured and/or reserved to the point management does not
anticipate any additional provisions for them. The increase over 2000 was
attributable to a general increase in nonperforming assets and the acquisition
of Jefferson Heritage (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 several factors, including those mentioned in the Cautionary
Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information at the beginning of this
discussion.


                                       30

   31

         Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled
$132.0 million, or .55% of loans, at June 30, 2001 compared to $109.7 million,
or .45%, and $78.8 million, or .34% of loans, at March 31, 2001 and June 30,
2000, 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 $120.4
million at June 30, 2001 which compares to $129.8 million and $166.2 million at
March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively. At June 30, 2001, March 31, 2001
and June 30, 2000, $2.3 million, $3.2 million and $4.4 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 $2.8 million and $2.6 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. At June 30,
2001, the Company had a reserve for FHA/VA claims losses of $8.3 million
compared to $8.1 million and $11.2 million at March 31, 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 June 30,
2001, Union Planters had potential problem assets of $44.4 million, composed of
13 loans, the largest of which is $8.6 million. This compares to $66.7 million,
or 15 loans, at March 31, 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.

compared to $23.1 billion for the first quarter of 2001 and $23.2 billion for
the second quarter of 2000. Driven by deposit growth and the Jefferson Heritage
acquisition, core deposits for the second quarter of 2001 increased $697 million
over the first quarter of 2001. The deposit mix is shifting to more core funding
as brokered deposits decreased $116 million compared to the first quarter of
2001 and $61 million compared to the second quarter of 2000. Certificates of
deposit of $100,000 and over decreased $134 million and $99 million compared to
the first quarter of 2001 and second quarter of 2000, respectively.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         Short-term borrowings were $4.0 billion at June 30, 2001 compared to
$5.5 billion at June 30, 2000 and $5.3 billion at March 31, 2001. Average
short-term borrowings declined to $4.5 billion for the second quarter of 2001, a
decrease of $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, compared to the same
quarter last year and the first 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 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 borrowing.

Market Risk Management discussion for additional information.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         Union Planters' total shareholders' equity increased by $207.8 million
from December 31, 2000 to $3.1 billion at June 30, 2001. The major items
affecting shareholders' equity are as follows:

         -        $148.8 million increase due to the Jefferson Heritage
                  acquisition.
         -        $79.0 million increase due to retained net earnings (net
                  earnings less dividends paid)
         -        $58.2 million increase due to the net change in the unrealized
                  gain or loss on available for sale investment securities.
         -        $8.8 million increase due to common stock issued for employee
                  benefit plans.
         -        $87.0 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 June 30, 2001, 1.6
million shares had been purchased under this plan. In addition, through June 30,
2001, the Company has repurchased 2.3 million shares of the 4.4 million issued
in the Jefferson Heritage acquisition.

LIQUIDITY

         Union Planters requires liquidity sufficient to meet cash requirements
for deposit withdrawals, to make new loans and satisfy loan commitments, to
take advantage of attractive investment opportunities, and to repay borrowings
at maturity. 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 June 30, 2001,
the parent company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $508.4 million, which
compares to $585.0 million and $154.6 million, respectively, at March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000. Net working capital (total assets maturing within one
year less similar liabilities) was $493.0 million, which compares to $579.3
million and $162.8 million, respectively, at March 31, 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 July 1, 2001, the parent company could have received dividends from
subsidiaries of $219 million without prior regulatory approval. The payment of
dividends by Union Planters' subsidiaries will be dependent on the future
earnings and growth of the


                                      33
   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 65% of Union Planters' operating
revenues for the six months ended June 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 to interest-rate changes over the past
three quarters. This table reflects a significant reduction of the one-year GAP
and a reduction of Union Planters' sensitivity to interest-rate changes, both
of which are discussed below.




                                                        JUNE 30,         MARCH 31,       DECEMBER 31,

         Interest-rate sensitivity analysis (GAP analysis) is used to monitor
the amounts and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates, as
shown in the following table. The analysis has been made at a point in time and
could change significantly on a daily basis. At June 30, 2001, the
interest-rate sensitivity gap within the one-year period was (1)% of Union
Planters' total assets with $474 million more liabilities repricing than
assets. This compares to (6%) of Union Planters' total assets at March 31, 2001
with $2.0 billion more liabilities repricing than assets. Since December 31,
2000, the one-year cumulative GAP has moved significantly. This 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 of Union Planters. The policy limits the changes
of net interest income to 20% of net operating earnings (net earnings before
nonoperating items, net of taxes,


                                      34
   35


annualized - see the "Summary of Consolidated Results" on page 17) when
compared with the base case (flat) scenario. The simulations have consistently
fallen within the policy guidelines.

         At June 30, 2001, the 200 basis point immediate rise in interest rates
produced a projected 3.9% ($17 million after-tax) decrease in net operating
earnings, which compares to a projected 7.6% ($33 million after-tax) decrease
at March 31, 2001. The 200 basis point immediate fall in interest rates
produced a projected 3.0% ($13 million after-tax) decrease in net operating
earnings versus a projected 1.5% ($6 million after-tax) increase at March 31,
2001. The 200 basis point decreasing rate scenario results in a rate
environment that is comparable to an era that has not existed in over 30 years.
Union Planters ALCO committee does not view this scenario as likely to occur
given the current interest rate environment. The "most likely" calculated
scenario at June 30, 2001 produced a projected .2% ($1 million after-tax)
decrease in net operating earnings compared to a projected .4% ($2 million
after-tax) increase in net operating earnings at March 31, 2001. The "most
likely" scenario at June 30, 2001 assumed the Federal Funds rate decreases 25
basis points to 3.5% over the next three months and then remains flat over the
remaining nine months of the twelve-month period. The "most likely" scenario at
March 31, 2001 assumed the Federal Funds rate decreased 75 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.

---------
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 (17%), (17%), and (14%) for the
         0-90 Days, 91-180 Days and 181-365 Days categories and positive 3%,
         11%, 13%, and 13%, respectively, for the 1-3 Years, 3-5 Years, 5-15
         Years, and over 15 Years categories at June 30, 2001.

                          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 12 to Union Planters
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein under Item
1 of Part I. 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 believes 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 second quarter of 2001 in any of the
pending or threatened actions that affected such opinion.
