FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements. In addition, Alabama National,
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, 1999
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 and six months ended June 30,
1999 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, 1999.
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, 1998.
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 Accounting Standards No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ("Statement
133"). 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. Management of Alabama National does not expect the
adoption of Statement 133 to have a material impact on its financial statements
since it does not invest in derivative instruments. Statement 133, as amended by
Statement 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization
of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise, an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 65, ("Statement 134"). Statement 134 amends Statement 65
to require that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, an
entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-
backed securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to
sell or hold those investments. This statement became effective for the first
quarter of 1999. Since Alabama National does not securitize mortgage loans, no
financial statement impact has resulted from adopting this statement.

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 Alabama National and results of operations as of the dates and for
the periods indicated. On December 31, 1998, Community Bank of Naples, National
Association ("Naples"), a bank headquartered in Naples, Florida, was merged with
and into a subsidiary of Alabama National, pursuant to which each share of
Naples common stock was converted into 0.53271 shares of Alabama National's
common stock for a total of 532,608 shares of Alabama National common stock
issued to Naples shareholders. On October 2, 1998, Community Financial
Corporation ("CFC"), a one bank holding company headquartered in Mabelton,
Georgia, was merged with and into Alabama National, pursuant to which each share
of CFC common stock was converted into 0.351807 shares of Alabama National's
common stock for a total of 1,076,032 shares of Alabama National common stock
issued to CFC shareholders. On May 29, 1998, Public Bank Corporation ("PBC"), a
one bank holding company headquartered in St. Cloud, Florida, was merged with
and into Alabama National, pursuant to which each share of PBC common stock was
converted into 0.2353134 shares of Alabama National's common stock for a total
of 549,913 shares of Alabama National common stock issued to PBC shareholders.
The Naples, CFC, and PBC mergers were accounted for as poolings of interest and
accordingly, financial statements for all periods have been restated to reflect
the results of operations of the companies on a combined basis from the earliest
period presented, except for dividends per share.
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, 1998.
Performance Overview
Alabama National's net income was $5.38 million for the second quarter of 1999
(the "1999 second quarter") compared to $4.75 million for the second quarter of
1998 (the "1998 second quarter"). Net income for the six month period ended June
30, 1999 (the "1999 six months") was $10.40 million compared to $9.30 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 six months"). Net income per
diluted common share for the 1999 and 1998 second quarters was $.48 and $.43,

annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.24% for the 1999
six months compared to 1.22% for the 1998 six months. The annualized return on

National paid a $.36 cash dividend on common shares during the 1999 six months,
compared to $.30 on common shares during the 1998 six months.
Net Income
The principal reasons for the increase in net income 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, for the 1999 second quarter and the 1999 six months, compared to
the same periods in 1998. Net interest income increased by $1.1 million, or
7.6%, to $16.0 million during the 1999 second quarter from $14.8 million during
the 1998 second quarter. Net interest income increased to $31.3 million during
the 1999 six months from $29.0 million
14
during the 1998 six months, an increase of $2.4 million, or 8.2%. The increase
in the net interest margin for the 1999 second quarter and six months occurred
despite the recovery of interest associated with the collection of previously
charged-off loans totaling $567,000 included in the 1998 second quarter and six
months.
Average earning assets for the 1999 second quarter and six months increased by
approximately $166.1 million and $153.8 million, respectively, and was partially
matched by growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of $118.4 million and
$103.00 million during the 1999 second quarter and six months, respectively. The
average taxable equivalent rate earned on assets was 7.85% and 7.87% for the
1999 second quarter and six months compared to 8.60% and 8.51% for the 1998
second quarter and six months, respectively. The average rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities was 4.23% and 4.27% for the 1999 second quarter and six
months, respectively, compared to 4.81% and 4.76% for the 1998 second quarter
and six months, respectively. As a result of compression resulting from a larger
reduction in the yield on earning assets compared to the cost of interest-
bearing liabilities, the net interest margin for the 1999 second quarter and six
months was 4.19% and 4.18%, respectively, compared to 4.37% and 4.30% for the
1998 second quarter and six months respectively.
The following tables depict, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 1999 and 1998
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 best estimate of the probable loan losses 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 $368,000 for the
1999 second quarter, compared with $266,000 in the 1998 second quarter. The
provision for loan losses was $930,000 for the 1999 six months, compared to
$611,000 in the 1998 six months. The higher provision for loan losses in the
1999 second quarter and 1999 six months is attributable to the growth in loans.
In addition, Alabama National's loan loss experience reflected net loan losses
of $135,000 in the first six months of 1999, compared with net loan recoveries
of $321,000 in the first six months of 1998. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was 1.45% at June 30,
1999, compared to 1.52% at December 31, 1998.
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 1999 second quarter was $7.5 million, compared
to $7.3 million for the 1998 second quarter. For the 1999 six months,
noninterest income increased to $15.5 million compared to $14.5 million for the
1998 six months. Noninterest income includes service charges on deposits,
investment services revenues, trust department revenues, and fees relating to
the sale and origination of mortgage loans. Service charges on deposits for the
both the 1999 quarter and 1998 quarter was $1.8 million. For the 1999 six
months, service charge income increased to $3.6 million from the 1998 six months
$3.5 million. Reflecting a slight decline in customer demand for debt
securities, revenue in the investment services division totaled $2.7 million in
the 1999 second quarter, unchanged from the 1998 second quarter, and
totaled $5.7 million in the 1999 six months compared to $5.8 million in the 1998
six months. Trust fees declined by $92,000 in the 1999 second quarter compared
to the 1998 second quarter and were approximately flat for the 1999 six months
when compared with the 1998 six months. Attributable to expansion of geographic
coverage, fees relating to the sale and origination of mortgage loans totaled
$1.1 million in the 1999 second quarter compared with $1.0 million in the 1998
second quarter and $2.4 million in the 1999 six months compared with $1.9
million during the 1998 six months. Additional investment in bank owned life
insurance policies during the 1999 second quarter and 1999 six months resulted
in a $96,000 and $127,000 increase, respectively, in such income during the 1999
periods, when compared with the same periods in 1998.
Noninterest expense was $15.2 million for the 1999 second quarter compared to
$14.8 million for the 1998 second quarter. For the 1999 six months, noninterest
expense was $30.6 million compared to $29.2 million for the 1998 six months.
Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and
equipment expenses and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were $9.1
million for the 1999 second quarter compared to $8.6 million for the 1998 second
quarter. For the 1999 six months, salaries and employee benefits were $18.5
million compared to $17.2 million in the 1998 six months. The increase in
salaries and employee benefits is primarily attributable to additional sales
volume in the mortgage lending division and staffing increases in the investment
services division and other areas of Alabama National. Occupancy and equipment
expense totaled $1.7 million in the 1999 second quarter and $1.6 million in the
1998 second quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $3.4 million in the
1999 six months and $3.2 million in the 1998 six months. Other noninterest
expense decreased to $4.4 million in the 1999 second quarter, compared with $4.6
million in the 1998 second quarter. Other noninterest expense was $8.7 million
in the 1999 six months and $8.8 million in the 1998 six months. Other
noninterest expense includes after-tax merger-related charges of $92,000 during
the 1999 six months, compared with $271,000 for the 1998 six months.
Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $2.5 million
for the 1999 second quarter compared to $2.2 million for the 1998 second
quarter. For the 1999 six months income tax expense was $4.8 million, compared
to $4.3 million for the 1998 six months. The effective tax rates for the 1999
second quarter and the 1999 six months were 31.9% and 31.8%, respectively.

Investment securities decreased $9.35 million in the 1999 six months,
substantially all of which is attributable to paydowns of mortgage backed
securities.
Securities available for sale increased $7.89 million in the 1999 six months.
Purchases of available for sale securities totaled $73.97 million and
maturities, calls, and sales of available for sale securities totaled $60.21
million. Write down to estimated market value of available for sale securities
totaled $3.6 million, net of income taxes, during the 1999 six months.
Trading account securities, $6.33 million at June 30, 1999, 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 $40.6 million at June
30, 1999 and $57.1 at December 31, 1998.
Deposits and Other Funding Sources
- ----------------------------------
Deposits increased $138.9 million from year-end 1998, to $1.4 billion at June
30, 1999. Most of the growth in deposits are related to consumer certificates of
deposit.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
totaled $116.9 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $45.7 million from
December 31, 1998, reflecting the increase in deposits.

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. 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. A delinquent loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status
when it becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid is
reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest income.
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
earnings.
At June 30, 1999, nonperforming assets totaled $4.9 million, a decrease of $1.2
million from December 31, 1998. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans
plus other real estate were 0.41% at June 30, 1999 compared to 0.56% at December
31, 1998.

Net loan losses for the 1999 six months totaled $135,000, or .01% of average
loans for the period. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans, net of unearned income, was 1.45% at June 30, 1999, compared to 1.52% at
December 31, 1998. The following table analyzes activity in the allowance for

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, 1999 to be
adequate to cover probable 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
- -------------------------
Alabama National 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 its net interest income. The principal monitoring
technique employed by Alabama National 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. Managing the amount of assets and liabilities
repricing in the same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the
impact of rising or falling interest rates on net interest income.
25
Alabama National evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates
guidelines regarding asset generation and repricing, funding sources and
pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease interest
sensitivity risk. Alabama National 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, 1999, assuming relevant assets and liabilities are collected and paid,
respectively, based upon historical experience rather than their stated
maturities.

26
Alabama National generally would benefit from increasing market rates of
interest when it has an asset-sensitive gap and generally would benefit from
decreasing market rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. Alabama
National is liability sensitive throughout most of the one year time frame.
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, 1999, mortgage backed securities totaling $193.73
million, or 10.9% of total assets and essentially every loan, net of unearned
income, (totaling $1.20 billion, or 67.3% 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.
Deposits totaled $1.41 billion, or 79.6%, of total assets at June 30, 1999.
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
27
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 have
effected the net interest margin if prevailing interest rates differed from
actual rates during the 1999 six months. Because of the inherent use of
estimates and assumptions in the simulation model used to derive this
information, the actual results for the 1999 six months and 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 84.6% at June 30, 1999,
compared to 85.2% at year end 1998. Alabama National's liquid assets as a
percentage of total deposits were 8.8% at June 30, 1999, compared to 10.0% at
year-end 1998. At June 30, 1999, Alabama National had unused federal funds lines
of approximately $156.1 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
$111.5 million and an unused credit line at an independent bank of $7.7 million.
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 $3.5 million from
December 31, 1998 to $134.5 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was
attributable to:
Net income................................... $10,399,000

===========
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
28
and its subsidiary banks (the "Banks") exceeded all prescribed regulatory
capital guidelines at June 30, 1999. 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 June 30, 1999:

Year 2000
- ---------
Alabama National is aware of the many areas affected by the Year 2000 computer
issue as addressed by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
("FFIEC") in its interagency statement which provided an outline for
institutions to effectively manage the Year 2000 challenges. The board of
directors has approved a Year 2000 plan, which includes multiple phases, tasks
to be completed, and target dates for completion. Issues addressed therein
include awareness, assessment, validation, implementation, testing and
contingency planning. Progress under this plan is reported to the board of
directors on a regular basis.
Alabama National's core bank operating software has been certified by the vendor
to be Year 2000 compliant. To verify this compliance, the Company loaded the
software along with general ledger data onto a separate test system. Dates on
the test system were advanced into 2000, and results from this test have been
validated by Alabama National personnel. Alabama National's testing and
validation of results indicate that the core bank operating software is 100%
Year 2000 compliant and Alabama National's mission critical systems are also
100% compliant. The Company also has a number of non-mission critical systems,
and any Year 2000 compliance testing that Alabama National itself can perform on
these systems is complete. There are also systems provided by third party
vendors for which Alabama National is reliant upon the vendors to provide
testing data to validate. All such outside vendors indicate that they will
provide all remaining test data to Alabama National prior to September 30, 1999.
At the present time, Alabama National is approximately 99% compliant on its
non-mission critical systems and plans to have validated compliance on the
remaining systems by September 30, 1999.
In addition to the systems outlined above, Alabama National is tracking the Year
2000 readiness of its utility companies and is finalizing contingency plans for
these services to critical operations.
Since it routinely upgrades and purchases technologically advanced software and
hardware, Alabama National has determined that the costs of making modifications
to correct any Year 2000 issues will not materially affect reported operating
results. Alabama National estimates that its remaining capital expenditures to
prepare for Year 2000 and correct for any Year 2000 issues should not exceed
$50,000, and its remaining operating expenditures (including personnel expenses
for Company employees) should not exceed $50,000. Alabama National also hired an
independent outside consulting firm to review its preparation for Year 2000.
This review confirmed Alabama National's Year 2000 compliance status.
Alabama National also recognizes the importance of determining that its
borrowers are addressing the Year 2000 problem to avoid deterioration of the
loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material relationships have been
identified to assess the inherent risks and Year 2000 questionnaires have been
obtained from such borrowers where considered appropriate. Deposit customers
have received statement stuffers and informational material in this regard.
Alabama National is working on a one-on-one basis with any borrower that has
been identified as having high Year 2000 risk exposure.
29
Management does not believe that Alabama National will incur significant
additional costs associated with the Year 2000 issue. However, management cannot
predict the amount of financial difficulties it may incur due to customer and
vendor inability to perform according to their agreements with Alabama National
or the effects that other third parties may bring as a result of this issue.
Alabama National also anticipates that deposit customers may perceive a need for
increased cash in the latter part of 1999 and management has made liquidity
contingency plans to address this potential additional need for currency.
Management has held discussions with the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home
Loan Bank with regard to such potential increased currency and funding needs.
Although the Federal Reserve has announced plans to increase the amount of
currency in circulation in preparing for Year 2000, a lack of liquidity in the
financial system could have a significant negative impact on Alabama National.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of others to
address the issue or that the costs involved in such process will not have a
material adverse impact on Alabama National's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Alabama National's contingency plans are being tested and may be modified as
testing progresses. The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked reporting
companies to address a reasonable "worst case" scenario with respect to the Year
2000 issue. Management's estimate of the "worst case" scenario is a loss of
electrical power and telecommunications service. Alabama National is prepared to
have a backup electrical power generator to run its mainframe computer system in
case of difficulties with its electricity vendor, but is unable to ascertain how
such a loss of electrical power would impact its operations and those of its
customers if such power loss was sustained for a material length of time.

Part II Other Information
Item 4 -- Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders
Alabama National held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 22, 1999. At
the meeting, the stockholders of the Company were asked to vote on two matters.
The first was the election of 14 directors to serve until the next annual
meeting of stockholders and their successors are elected and qualified. The
second matter requiring shareholder approval was a proposal to adopt the Alabama
National BanCorporation 1999 Long Term Incentive Plan. The results of the
shareholder voting on these matters are summarized as follows:
