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
JUNE 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 Annual
Report on 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, and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging activities--an amendment 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 board of 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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company repurchased 25,000
shares of its common stock. The number of shares ultimately repurchased will
depend on subsequent developments and market availability.

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 was $5.90 million for the second quarter of 2000
(the "2000 second quarter") compared to $5.38 million for the second quarter of
1999 (the "1999 second quarter"). Net income for the six months ended June 30,
2000 (the "2000 six months") was $11.56 million compared to $10.40 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 (the "1999 six months"). Net income per
diluted common share for the 2000 and 1999 second quarters was $0.53 and $0.48,
respectively. For the 2000 six months, net income per diluted common share was
$1.03 compared to $0.93 for the 1999 six months.
The annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.18% for the
2000 second quarter compared to 1.28% for the 1999 second quarter. The
annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.17% for the 2000
six months compared to 1.24% for the 1999 six months. The annualized return on
average stockholders' equity increased for the 2000 second quarter to 16.62%, as
compared to 15.88% for the 1999 second quarter. The annualized return on
average stockholders' equity increased for the 2000 six months to 16.44%, as
compared to 15.55% for the 1999 six months. Book value per share at June 30,
2000 was $12.83, an increase of $0.34 from year-end 1999. Tangible book value
per share at June 30, 2000 was $11.90, an increase of $0.38 from year-end 1999.
Alabama National paid $0.42 in cash dividends on common shares during the 2000
six months, compared to $0.36 paid on common shares during the 1999 six months.
Net Income
- ----------
The principal reason for the increase in net income for each of the 2000 second
quarter and the 2000 six months, compared to the same periods in 1999, 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 increased by $2.7 million, or 17.1%,
to $18.7 million during the 2000 second quarter from $16.0 million during the
1999 second quarter. Net interest income increased to $36.6 million during the
2000 six months from $31.3 million during the 1999 six months, representing an
increase of $5.3 million, or 16.8%. The increase in net interest income was
offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.9 million to $17.2 million
for the 2000 second quarter and $3.4 million to $34.0 million for the 2000 six
months, compared to $15.2 million and $30.6 million, respectively for the same
periods in 1999.
Average earning assets for the 2000 second quarter and 2000 six months increased
by approximately $305.2 million and $285.0 million, respectively, and was
matched by growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of $320.6 million and
$300.3 million during the 2000 second quarter and 2000 six months, respectively.
The average taxable equivalent rate earned on assets was 8.61% and 8.46% for the
2000 second quarter and 2000 six months compared to 7.85% and 7.87% for the 1999
second quarter and 1999 six months, respectively. The average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities was 5.05% and 4.89% for the 2000 second quarter and
2000 six months, respectively, compared to 4.23% and 4.27% for the 1999 second
quarter and 1999 six months, respectively. The net interest margin was 4.10% for
the 2000 second quarter and 2000 six months compared to 4.19% and 4.18% for 1999
second quarter and 1999 six months, respectively. The reduction in net interest
margin is largely due to strong loan demand in excess of growth in low cost
deposit accounts. This has resulted in much of the incremental growth of loans
being funded by higher cost liability sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, in-market CD's, and brokered CD's.

The following tables depict, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 2000 and 1999
second quarter and six 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 $627,000 for the 2000
second quarter, compared with $368,000 in the 1999 second quarter. The higher
provision for loan losses in the 2000 second quarter is attributable to a net
recovery of $256,000 recorded during the 1999 second quarter. The provision for
loan losses was $1,153,000 for the 2000 six months, compared to $930,000 in the
1999 six months. The higher provision for loan losses in the 2000 six months is
attributable to the growth in loans outstanding and the net recovery recorded
during the 1999 second quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage
of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was 1.30% at June 30, 2000,
compared to 1.37% at December 31, 1999.
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 second quarter was $7.6 million, compared
to $7.5 million for the 1999 second quarter. For the 2000 six months,
noninterest income decreased to $15.3 million compared to $15.5 million for the
1999 six months. The 2000 second quarter and six months include insurance
commissions of $510,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. The insurance division
was acquired on May 28, 1999, and the 1999 second quarter and six months only
include approximately one month's results for this division. Excluding this
income, noninterest income decreased 3.90% and 7.62% for the 2000 second quarter
and six months, respectively. Other components of noninterest income include
service charges on deposits, investment division revenue, securities brokerage
revenue, trust department revenues, and fees relating to the origination and
sale of mortgage loans. Service charges on deposits for the 2000 second quarter
and 1999 second quarter were $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. For
the 2000 six months, service charge income increased to $3.8 million from $3.6
million for the 1999 six months. Reflecting a decline in demand for debt
securities from community banks, revenue in the investment division decreased to
$1.1 million in the 2000 second quarter from $1.7 million during the 1999 second
quarter and decreased $1.6 million to $2.3 million for the 2000 six months.
Securities brokerage revenue increased 16.4% to $1.2 million during the 2000
second quarter and totaled $2.5 million for the 2000 six months, an increase of
30.4% over 1999 six month total of $1.9 million. The increase in brokerage
revenue is attributable to continued strong production in this area and
favorable market conditions. Trust fees increased by 4.4% in the 2000 second
quarter compared to the 1999 second quarter and increased 6.4% during the 2000
six months when compared with the 1999 six months. Fees generated from the
origination and sale of mortgages declined during 2000 due to rising interest
rates and the impact the interest rate environment has on refinancing and new
mortgage origination activity. Total fees generated from the origination and
sale of mortgages were $947,000 and $1.7 million during the 2000 second quarter
and six months, respectively, representing a decline of 16.3% and 26.8%, as
compared to the 1999 second quarter and six months.
Noninterest expense was $17.2 million for the 2000 second quarter compared to
$15.2 million for the 1999 second quarter. For the 2000 six months, noninterest
expense was $34.0 million compared to $30.6 million for the 1999 six months.
Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and
equipment expenses and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were $10.2
million for the 2000 second quarter compared to $9.1 million for the 1999 second
quarter. For the 2000 six months, salaries and employee benefits were $20.2
million compared to $18.5 million in the 1999 six 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 and
additional compensation related to annual performance reviews. Occupancy and
equipment expense totaled $2.1 million in the 2000 second quarter and $1.7
million in the 1999 second quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $4.0
million in the 2000 six months and $3.4 million in the 1999 six months. The
increase in occupancy and equipment expense is also a result of the insurance
acquisition and branch expansions. Other noninterest expense increased to $5.0
million in the 2000 second quarter, compared with $4.4 million in the 1999
second quarter. Other noninterest expense was $9.8 million in the 2000 six
months and $8.7 million in the 1999 six months.
Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $2.6 million
for the 2000 second quarter compared to $2.5 for the 1999 second quarter. For
the 2000 six months income tax expense was $5.1 million, compared to $4.8
million for the 1999 six months. The effective tax rates for the 2000 second
quarter and the 2000 six months were 30.8% and 30.6%, respectively, compared to
31.9% and 31.8% for the same periods of 1999. These effective rates are impacted
by items of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state
taxation.

Trading account securities, which had a balance of $18,000 at June 30, 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.

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 June 30, 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 balance 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 could necessitate
additional charges to the allowance for loan losses.
At June 30, 2000, nonperforming assets totaled $4.8 million, virtually unchanged
from year-end 1999. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans plus other
real estate were 0.33% at June 30, 2000 compared to 0.37% at December 31, 1999.

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 June 30, 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.
23
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 simulation 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.
The following table illustrates Alabama National's interest rate sensitivity at
June 30, 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 zero 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 June 30, 2000, mortgage backed securities totaling $199.9
million, or 9.69% of total assets and essentially every loan, net of unearned
income, (totaling $1.47 billion, or 71.5% 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.
Deposits totaled $1.55 billion, or 74.9%, of total assets at June 30, 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.
25
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 95.4% at June 30, 2000,
compared to 91.5% at year-end 1999. Alabama National's liquid assets as a
percentage of total deposits were 7.26% at June 30, 2000, compared to 7.87% at
year-end 1999. At June 30, 2000, Alabama National had unused federal funds
lines of approximately $113.7 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan
Bank of $110.8 million and an unused credit line with a third party bank of
$14.6 million. During the 2000 second quarter, the maximum credit amount under
this third party bank facility was increased from $20.0 million to $32.0
million. The Company also has access to approximately $159.0 million via a
credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2000 and
year-end 1999, there were no outstanding borrowings under this Federal Reserve
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 $5.2 million from December
31, 1999 to $143.5 million at June 30, 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 June 30, 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
