FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements. In addition, Alabama National
BanCorporation ("Alabama National" or, the "Company"), through its senior
management, from time to time makes forward-looking public statements concerning
its expected future operations and performance and other developments. Such
forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting Alabama
National's best judgement based upon current information and involve a number of
risks and uncertainties, and various factors could cause results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Such
factors could include those identified from time to time in Alabama National's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements. With
respect to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for Alabama National,
these factors include the rate of growth in the economy, especially in the
Southeast, the relative strength and weakness in the consumer and commercial
credit sectors and in the real estate markets and the performance of the stock
and bond markets.

ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are
subject to year-end audit and are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Alabama National's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE B - COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
- -------------------------------------
Alabama National's subsidiary banks make loan commitments and incur contingent
liabilities in the normal course of business, which are not reflected in the
consolidated statements of condition.
NOTE C - RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------
Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standard No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ("Statement 133"),
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 30,
1999. Statement 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, by
requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure them at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, an entity may elect to designate a derivative instrument as
a hedging instrument. Statement 133 generally provides for matching the timing
of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of
(a) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are
attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the earnings effect of the hedged
forecasted transaction. Statement 133, as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and is effective for interim periods
in the year of adoption. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption
of Statement 133 to have a material impact on its financial statements since the
Company does not invest in derivative instruments.
NOTE D - TREASURY STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
- ----------------------------------------
On April 21, 2000, the directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up
to 250,000 shares of its common stock either through open market purchases,
private transactions, or both through March 31, 2001. The repurchased shares may
be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and reissuance
under certain stock benefit plans of the Company. The number of shares actually
repurchased will depend on subsequent developments and market availability.
NOTE E - STOCK OPTIONS
- ----------------------
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company granted options for the purchase of
155,500 shares of common stock of the Company to certain members of management.
The options have an exercise price of $18.875 per share and vest over five
years.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial
condition of the Company and results of operations as of the dates and for the
periods indicated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform
with generally accepted accounting principles and with general financial
services industry practices.
This information should be read in conjunction with Alabama National's unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
report and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" appearing in Alabama National's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Performance Overview
- --------------------
Alabama National's net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000
(the "2000 three months") was $5.66 million compared to $5.02 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 (the "1999 three months"). Net income per
diluted common share for the 2000 three months and the 1999 three months was
$0.51 and $0.45, respectively.
The annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.17% and 1.21%
for the 2000 three months and the 1999 three months, respectively. The
annualized return on average stockholders' equity increased for the 2000 three
months to 16.26%, as compared to 15.22% for the 1999 three months. Book value
per share at March 31, 2000 was $12.76, an increase of $0.27 from year-end 1999.
Tangible book value per share at March 31, 2000 was $11.81, an increase of $0.29
from year-end 1999. Alabama National paid cash dividends totaling $0.21 on
common shares during the 2000 three months, compared to $0.18 on common shares
paid during the 1999 three months.
Net Income
- ----------
The principal reason for the increase in net income for the 2000 three months,
compared to the 1999 three months, was the growth in net interest income, which
is the difference between the income earned on interest bearing assets and the
interest paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. Net
interest income in the 2000 three months totaled $17.9 million compared to $15.4
million during the 1999 three months, an increase of $2.5 million, or 16.5%. The
increased net interest income was offset by an increase in noninterest expense
of $1.5 million to $16.9 million for the 2000 three months, compared with $15.4
million for the 1999 three months, an increase of 9.6%.
Average earning assets for the 2000 three months increased by approximately
$264.9 million as compared to the 1999 three months, as average interest-bearing
liabilities increased $280.2 million. The average taxable equivalent rate earned
on assets was 8.31% for the 2000 three months compared to 7.89% for the 1999
three months. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 4.73%
for the 2000 three months compared to 4.30% for the 1999 three months. The net
interest margin for the 2000 three months was 4.10%, compared to 4.17% for the
1999 three months. The reduction in net interest margin is a result of average
interest-bearing liabilities growing at a faster rate than average earning
assets and average non interest-bearing deposits growing only $4.9 million.

The following table depicts, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 2000 and 1999
three months, certain information related to Alabama National's average balance
sheet and its average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Such
yields or costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily
balance of the associated assets or liabilities.

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to current earnings necessary
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level based on
management's analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. The amount of
the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of non-
performing loans, historical loan loss experience, the amount of loan losses
actually charged against the allowance during a given period and current
economic conditions. The provision for loan losses was $526,000 for the 2000
three months, approximately the same as the 1999 three months. The allowance for
loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was
1.35% at March 31, 2000, compared to 1.37% at December 31, 1999.
12
Because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the assessment
process, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not
exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations to the
allowance will not be required. See Asset Quality.
-------------
Total noninterest income for the 2000 three months was $7.6 million, compared to
$7.9 million for the 1999 three months, a decrease of 3.7%. The 2000 three
months includes $587,000 of insurance commissions generated from the insurance
division that was acquired in May of 1999. Excluding this income from the 2000
three months, the quarter to quarter decrease was 11.1%. Other components of
noninterest income include service charges on deposits, investment division
revenue, securities brokerage revenue, trust department revenue, and fees
relating to the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Service charges on
deposits for both the 2000 and 1999 three months were $1.8 million. Reflecting a
decline in the demand for debt securities from community banks, revenue in the
investment division totaled $1.2 million during the 2000 three months, compared
to $2.2 million during 1999 three months. The securities brokerage revenue
increased 52.0% to $1.3 million in 2000 three months, compared to $858,000 for
the 1999 three months. The increase is attributable to continued strong
production in this area and favorable market conditions. Trust fee revenue
increased 8.6% from the 1999 three months to $570,000. Fees generated from the
origination and sale of mortgages decreased to $788,000 for the 2000 three
months from $1.2 million in the 1999 three months, representing a 36.3% decline.
This decline is primarily a result of rising interest rates and the impact the
interest rate environment has on refinancing and new mortgage origination
activity. Other noninterest income for the 2000 three months was $853,000,
compared to $727,000 for the 1999 three months.
Noninterest expense was $16.9 million for the 2000 three months compared to
$15.4 million for the 1999 three months. Noninterest expense includes salaries
and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and other expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits were $10.1 million for the 2000 three months
compared to $9.4 million for the 1999 three months. The increase in salaries and
employee benefits partially results from the newly acquired insurance agency
noted above, but primarily represents general staffing increases in other areas
of Alabama National relating to continued expansion. The small increase in
occupancy and equipment expense is also a result of the insurance acquisition
and branch expansions. Other noninterest expense increased to $4.9 million in
the 2000 three months, compared with $4.4 million in the 1999 three months.
Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $2.5 million
for the 2000 three months, compared to $2.3 million for the 1999 three months.
The effective tax rates for the 2000 three months and 1999 three months were
30.4% and 31.6%, respectively. These effective tax rates are impacted by items
of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state taxation.

Earning Assets
- --------------
Loans comprised the largest single category of Alabama National's earning assets
on March 31, 2000. Loans, net of unearned income, were $1.37 billion or 69.3% of
total assets at March 31, 2000, compared to $1.32 billion or 68.7% at December
31, 1999. Loans grew $54.6 million, or 4.1%, during the 2000 three months. The

Investment securities increased $13.5 million in the 2000 three months. During
the 2000 three months, the Company purchased $16.0 million of investment
securities and received $2.5 million from maturities, including principal
paydowns of mortgage backed securities.
Securities available for sale decreased $655,000 in the 2000 three months.
Purchases of available for sale securities totaled $25.3 million and maturities,
calls, and sales of available for sale securities totaled $25.4 million. Write
downs to estimated market value of available for sale securities totaled
$379,000 net of income taxes, during the 2000 three months.
Trading account securities, which had a balance of $653,000 at March 31, 2000,
are securities owned by Alabama National prior to sale and delivery to Alabama
National's customers. It is the policy of Alabama National to limit positions in
such securities to reduce its exposure to market and interest rate changes.
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell totaled
$29.2 million at March 31, 2000 and $33.6 million at December 31, 1999.

Deposits and Other Funding Sources
- ----------------------------------
Deposits increased $91.2 million from year-end 1999, to $1.53 billion at March
31, 2000. All categories of deposits experienced growth during the 2000 three
months.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
totaled $118.6 million at March 31, 2000, a decrease of $13.3 million from
December 31, 1999. The treasury, tax and loan account decreased to $1.1 million
at March 31, 2000, compared with $6.2 million at December 31, 1999. Short-term
borrowings at March 31, 2000 totaled $18.4 million, including a note payable to
a third party bank of $16.4 million and one advance from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") totaling $2.0 million.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest, loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans in which
the terms have been restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest
or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the
borrower. At March 31, 2000, the Company had no loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing interest. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when
management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and
collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that the
collection of interest is doubtful. It is Alabama National's policy to place a
delinquent loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest that is accrued on the
loan is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest.
No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of
both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is
finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual writedown or charge-off of
the principal balance of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to
the allowance for loan losses.
At March 31, 2000, nonperforming assets totaled $5.3 million, virtually
unchanged from year-end 1999. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-
end loans plus other real estate were 0.39% at March 31, 2000 compared to 0.40%
at December 31, 1999. The following table presents the Company's nonperforming

The loan portfolio is periodically reviewed to evaluate the outstanding loans
and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes a review of delinquency
trends, actual losses and internal credit ratings. Based on this analysis,
management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2000 to be
adequate to cover possible loan losses in the portfolio as of that date.
However, because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the
evaluation process, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods
will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations to
the allowance will not be required.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
- -------------------------
The Company monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and
liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in
interest rates could have on net interest income. The principal monitoring
technique employed by the Company is simulation analysis, which technique is
augmented by 'gap' analysis.
In sensitivity analysis, the Company reviews each individual asset and liability
category and their projected behavior in various different interest rate
environments. These projected behaviors are based upon management's past
experiences and upon current competitive environments, including the various
environments in the different markets in which the Company competes. Using this
projected behavior and differing rate scenarios as inputs, the simulation
analysis generates as output a projection of net interest income. The Company
also periodically verifies the validity of this approach by comparing actual
results with those that were projected in previous models. See Market Risk.
-----------
Another technique used by the Company in interest rate management is the
measurement of the interest sensitivity "gap," which is the positive or negative
dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest
rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be
managed by repricing assets and liabilities, selling securities available for
sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity or by adjusting the interest
rate during the life of an asset or liability.
The Company evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates guidelines
regarding asset generation and repricing, and sources and prices of off-balance
sheet commitments in order to decrease interest sensitivity risk. The Company
uses computer simulations to measure the net income effect of various interest
rate scenarios. The modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related
impact on net income over specified periods of time.
19
The following table illustrates Alabama National's interest rate sensitivity at
March 31, 2000, assuming relevant assets and liabilities are collected and paid,
respectively, based upon historical experience rather than their stated
maturities.

Alabama National generally benefits from increasing market rates of interest
when it has an asset-sensitive gap and generally benefits from decreasing market
rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. Alabama National is liability
sensitive through the one year time frame, except for the one through three
month period. However, Alabama National's gap analysis is not a precise
indicator of its interest sensitivity position. The analysis presents only a
static view of the timing of maturities and repricing opportunities, without
taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all
assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial
portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time
frame, but those rates are viewed by management as significantly less interest-
sensitive than market-based rates, such as those paid on non-core deposits.
Accordingly, management believes that a liability-sensitive gap position is not
as indicative of Alabama National's true interest sensitivity as it would be for
an organization which depends to a greater extent on purchased funds to support
earning assets. Net interest income may be affected by other significant
factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume
and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Market Risk
- -----------
Alabama National's earnings are dependent on its net interest income which is
the difference between interest income earned on all earning assets, primarily
loans and securities, and interest paid on all interest bearing liabilities,
primarily deposits. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in
market prices and rates. Alabama National's market risk arises primarily from
inherent interest rate risk in its lending, investing and deposit gathering
activities. Alabama National seeks to reduce its exposure to market risk
through actively monitoring and managing its interest rate risk. Management
relies upon static 'gap' analysis to determine the degree of mismatch in the
maturity and repricing distribution of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities which quantifies, to a large extent, the degree of market
risk inherent in Alabama National's balance sheet. Gap analysis is further
augmented by simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of varying levels of
prevailing interest rates and the sensitivity of specific earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities to changes in those prevailing rates. Simulation
analysis consists of evaluating the impact on net interest income given changes
from 200 basis points below to 200 basis points above the current prevailing
rates. Management makes certain assumptions as to the effect varying levels of
interest rates have on certain earning assets and interest bearing liabilities,
which assumptions consider both historical experience and consensus estimates of
outside sources.
With respect to the primary earning assets, loans and securities, certain
features of individual types of loans and specific securities introduce
uncertainty as to their expected performance at varying levels of interest
rates. In some cases, imbedded options exist whereby the borrower may elect to
repay the obligation at any time. These imbedded prepayment options make
anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in
prevailing rates. At March 31, 2000, mortgage backed securities totaling $210.6
million, or 10.6% of total assets and essentially every loan, net of unearned
income, (totaling $1.37 billion, or 69.3% of total assets), carry such imbedded
options. Management believes that assumptions used in its simulation analysis
about the performance of financial instruments with such imbedded options are
appropriate. However, the actual performance of these financial instruments may
differ from management's estimates due to several factors, including the
diversity and financial sophistication of the customer base, the general level
of prevailing interest rates and the relationship to their historical levels,
and general economic conditions. The difference between those assumptions and
actual results, if significant, could cause the actual results to differ from
those indicated by the simulation analysis.
21
Deposits totaled $1.53 billion, or 77.3%, of total assets at March 31, 2000.
Since deposits are the primary funding source for earning assets, the associated
market risk is considered by management in its simulation analysis. Generally,
it is anticipated that deposits will be sufficient to support funding
requirements. However, the rates paid for deposits at varying levels of
prevailing interest rates have a significant impact on net interest income and
therefore, must be quantified by Alabama National in its simulation analysis.
Specifically, Alabama National's spread, the difference between the rates earned
on earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, is generally
higher when prevailing rates are higher. As prevailing rates reduce, the spread
tends to compress, with severe compression at very low prevailing interest
rates. This characteristic is called 'spread compression' and adversely effects
net interest income in the simulation analysis when anticipated prevailing rates
are reduced from current rates. Management relies upon historical experience to
estimate the degree of spread compression in its simulation analysis.
Management believes that such estimates of possible spread compression are
reasonable. However, if the degree of spread compression varies from that
expected, the actual results could differ from those indicated by the simulation
analysis.
The following table illustrates the results of simulation analysis used by
Alabama National to determine the extent to which market risk would affect net
interest margin for the next twelve months if prevailing interest rates
increased or decreased the specified amounts from current rates. Because of the
inherent use of estimates and assumptions in the simulation model used to derive
this information, the actual results of the future impact of market risk on
Alabama National's net interest margin may differ from that found in the table.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy
- ------------------------------
Alabama National's net loan to deposit ratio was 89.7% at March 31, 2000,
compared to 91.5% at year-end 1999. Alabama National's liquid assets as a
percentage of total deposits were 7.56% at March 31, 2000, compared to 7.87% at
year-end 1999. At March 31, 2000, Alabama National had unused federal funds
lines of approximately $156.6 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan
Bank of $120.2 million and an unused credit line with a third party bank of $3.6
million. The Company also has access to approximately $170 million via a credit
facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At March 31, 2000 and year-
end 1999 there were no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility.
Management analyzes the level of off-balance sheet assets such as unfunded loan
commitments and outstanding letters of credit as they relate to the levels of
cash, cash equivalents, liquid investments, and available funds lines in an
attempt to minimize the possibility that a potential liquidity shortfall will
exist. Based on this analysis, management believes that Alabama National has
adequate liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. However, no
assurances can be given in this regard.
Alabama National's stockholders' equity increased by $3.0 million from December
31, 1999 to $141.2 million at March 31, 2000. This increase was attributable to

A strong capital position is vital to the continued profitability of Alabama
National because it promotes depositor and investor confidence and provides a
solid foundation for future growth of the organization. The capital of Alabama
National and its subsidiary banks (the 'Banks') exceeded all prescribed
regulatory capital guidelines at March 31, 2000. Under the capital guidelines
of their regulators, Alabama National and the Banks are currently required to
maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being
Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders' equity,
qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts
of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. In addition, Alabama National and
the Banks must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total
assets) of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200 basis
points for other than the highest rated institutions. The following table sets
forth the risk-based and leverage ratios of Alabama National and each subsidiary
bank at March 31, 2000:

Year 2000 - Technology Considerations
- -------------------------------------
The Company has not experienced any material problems related to the Year 2000
date change. In addition, management is not aware of any customers that have
experienced Year 2000 issues that would have a material impact on the Company,
nor have any of the Company's vendors experienced Year 2000 problems that would
impair its ability to provide services to the Company. However, it is possible
that the full impact of the date change has not been fully recognized.
