                         ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION
                     ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2006 EARNINGS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Birmingham, Alabama (July 19, 2006) -Alabama National
BanCorporation ("ANB") (NASDAQ: ALAB) today announced earnings for the quarter
ended June 30, 2006.

For the 2006 second quarter, ANB reported earnings of $19.3 million, up 19.3%
from the 2005 second quarter. Diluted earnings per share of $1.02 were up 9.3%
from the year ago quarter. Diluted cash earnings per share were $1.06, up 10.7%
from the 2005 second quarter. Total revenue grew to $77.8 million in the 2006
second quarter, up 15.5% from $67.3 million in the year ago second quarter.
ANB's taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.97% for the 2006 second
quarter, up 4 basis points from the 2005 second quarter and up 1 basis point
from the first quarter of 2006.

"The second quarter continued our focus on the fundamentals of asset quality and
growth," said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and CEO. "Credit quality continued
to meet our standards, with minimal net charge-offs and continued low levels of
non-performing assets. Loan growth during the second quarter was surprisingly
strong and exceeded our expectations. The current flat yield curve will continue
to pose challenges for our industry, but I am confident in our employees'
ability to get our fair share of business in any environment."

The 2006 second quarter includes results from Florida Choice Bank, which was
acquired at the beginning of April 2006. Its results are not included in prior
periods. Florida Choice's information systems were converted to the ANB
information technology platform during June 2006.

"I am proud of the successful system conversion for Florida Choice Bank
completed during the second quarter," said Holcomb. "The conversion was the
result of a lot of hard work by a great group of employees. Florida Choice's
ability to continue excellent growth during the quarter while going through the
completion of the merger and system conversion is a testament to the quality of
our employees at this bank. We are also excited about the announcement in May of
ANB's pending acquisition of The Peachtree Bank."

The acquisition of The Peachtree Bank is subject to certain conditions,
including regulatory approvals and approval of the shareholders of the holding
company of The Peachtree Bank.

Year-to-date earnings for the first six months of 2006 were $37.2 million, an
increase of 17.4% over the $31.7 million in earnings reported for the same
period in 2005. Diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2006 were
$2.04, up 11.9% from the $1.82 earned in the first half of 2005. Six months'
2006 cash earnings per diluted share of $2.12 were up 12.3% over 2005 levels.



Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $6.8 billion. Loans (excluding loans held for
sale) grew to $4.81 billion, with ending deposits growing to $4.86 billion.
Quarter-end share owners' equity was $687 million, or $36.86 per share, and
tangible book value per share was $24.48.

During the 2006 second quarter, ANB recognized $108 thousand in net charge-offs,
or an annualized rate of 0.01% of average loans. Combined with first quarter net
charge-offs, ANB's year-to-date loss of $318 thousand represents a rate of 0.01%
in net losses to average loans and leases. Quarter-end nonperforming assets were
0.13% of period end loans and other real estate. The allowance for loan losses
covered nonperforming loans 1,080%.

Many of the comparisons of financial data from period to period presented in the
narrative of this release have been rounded from actual values reported in the
attached selected unaudited financial tables. The percentage changes presented
above are based on a comparison of the actual values recorded in the attached
tables, not the rounded values.

This press release, including the attached selected unaudited financial tables
which are a part of this release, contains financial information determined by
methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). These "non-GAAP" financial measures are "cash earnings" (cash earnings
per share), "tangible book value" (tangible book value per share), "return on
average tangible equity" and "return on average tangible assets." ANB's
management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of ANB's performance.
Cash earnings is defined as net income plus amortization expense (net of tax)
applicable to intangible assets that do not qualify as regulatory capital. Cash
earnings per basic and diluted share is defined as cash earnings divided by
basic and diluted common shares outstanding. ANB's management includes cash
earnings measures to compare the company's earnings exclusive of non-cash
amortization expense and because it is a measure used by many investors as part
of their analysis of ANB's performance. Tangible book value is defined as total
equity reduced by recorded intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is
defined as tangible book value divided by total common shares outstanding. This
measure is important to many investors in the marketplace that are interested in
changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in
intangible assets. Goodwill, an intangible asset that is recorded in a purchase
business combination, has the effect of increasing total book value while not
increasing the tangible assets of the company. For companies such as Alabama
National that have engaged in multiple business combinations, purchase
accounting requires the recording of significant amounts of goodwill related to
such transactions. Return on average tangible equity is defined as earnings for
the period (annualized for the quarterly or year-to-date period, as applicable)
divided by average equity reduced by average goodwill and other intangible
assets. Return on average tangible assets is defined as earnings for the period
(annualized for the quarterly or year-to-date period, as applicable) divided by
average assets reduced by average goodwill and other intangible assets. ANB's
management includes these measures because it believes that they are important
when measuring the company's performance exclusive of the effects of goodwill
and other intangibles recorded in recent acquisitions, and these measures are
used by many investors as part of their analysis of ANB. These disclosures
should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with
GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which
may be presented by other companies. Refer to the "Reconciliation Table" in the
attached unaudited financial tables for a more detailed analysis of these
non-GAAP performance measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures.



This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined by federal
securities laws. Statements contained in this press release which are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements may address
issues that involve significant risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions
made by management. ANB undertakes no obligation to update these statements
following the date of this press release. In addition, ANB, through its senior
management, may make from time to time forward-looking public statements
concerning the matters described herein. Such forward-looking statements are
necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of ANB's senior management
based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Certain factors which could affect the accuracy of such forward-looking
statements are identified in the public filings made by ANB with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and forward looking statements contained in this press
release or in other public statements of ANB or its senior management should be
considered in light of those factors. There can be no assurance that such
factors or other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking
statements.
