ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 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, 2004. 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, 2003.

NOTE B - COMMITMENTS 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. As of September 30, 2004, the total unfunded commitments which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition totaled $983.0 million. A majority of these commitments will expire in less than one year.

Alabama National, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened litigation. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty Alabama National’s potential exposure from pending and threatened litigation, based on current knowledge and advice of legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such litigation will have a material adverse effect on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE C - RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Statement No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (Statement 132). Statement 132 requires enhanced disclosures for defined benefit pension plans. Statement 132 requires companies to provide more details about their plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, benefit obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. The disclosures required by Statement 132 are effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, except for disclosures regarding estimated future benefit payments. Disclosures regarding estimated future benefit payments will be required for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The interim-period disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. See Note H “Defined Benefit Pension Plan” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosures required by this statement. As Statement 132 relates to changes in disclosures, its adoption did not have an impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3’s application includes loans and debt securities acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3

prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Alabama National does not anticipate that the adoption of SOP 03-3 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

On March 9, 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments,” (SAB 105) to inform registrants of the Staff’s view that the fair value of the recorded loan commitments should not consider the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The Staff will not object to the application of existing accounting practices to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into on or before March 31, 2004, with appropriate disclosures. On April 1, 2004, Alabama National adopted the provisions of SAB 105. Alabama National records the value of its mortgage loan commitments at fair market value for mortgages it intends to sell. Alabama National does not currently include, and was not previously including, the value of mortgage servicing or any other internally-developed intangible assets in the valuation of its mortgage loan commitments. Therefore, the adoption of SAB 105 did not have an impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 03-1, “Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment” (Issue 03-1). The Task Force reached a consensus on an other-than-temporary impairment model for debt and equity securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and cost method investments. The basic model developed by the Task Force in evaluating whether an investment within the scope of Issue 03-1 is other-than-temporarily impaired is as follows: Step 1: Determine whether the investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if its fair value is less than its cost. Step 2: Evaluate whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Step 3: If the impairment is other-than-temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The guidance in Issue 03-1 was intended to be effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. However, in September 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-1-1, which deferred the effective date for the measurement and recognition provisions of Issue 03-1 until further implementation guidance could be established. Alabama National does not anticipate that the adoption of Issue 03-1 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Alabama National to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

As of September 30, 2004, Alabama National has securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $7.2 million. The losses for all securities are a direct result of rising interest rates and the effect that rising interest rates has on the value of debt securities and not the credit worthiness of the issuers. In addition, Alabama National has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. Therefore, Alabama National has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairments.

The acquisitions of Cypress, Indian River and Coquina resulted in the recognition of $19.3 million, $80.8 million and $22.9 million of intangible assets, respectively. Alabama National allocated $1.6 million, $7.5 million and $1.0 million of the total intangible created to core deposits of Cypress, Indian River and Coquina, respectively. This allocation was based upon Alabama National’s valuation of the core deposits of Cypress, Indian River and Coquina. Among the factors considered in the valuation included: (1) the rate and maturity structure of the interest bearing liabilities, (2) estimated retention rates for each deposit liability category, (3) the current interest rate environment and (4) estimated noninterest income potential of acquired relationships. The core deposit intangible created is being amortized on an accelerated basis not to exceed seven years. The remaining intangible created was allocated to goodwill.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations for Alabama National, as if the Millennium Bank (“Millennium”), Cypress, Indian River and Coquina acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 2004 and 2003. The results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were adjusted for Indian River, Cypress and Coquina only, as Millennium was included for the entire period. The three month period ended September 30, 2004 was not adjusted for the Coquina acquisition, as Coquina was included for all but nine days of the 2004 third quarter. Since no consideration is given to the operational efficiencies and expanded products and services typically offered by the newly acquired banks subsequent to acquisition, the pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations as they would have been, if the respective acquisitions had occurred at the indicated dates (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

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. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of Alabama National conform with generally accepted accounting principles and with general financial services industry practices.

Many of the comparisons of financial data from period to period presented in the following discussion have been rounded from actual values reported in the financial statements. The percentage changes presented herein are based on a comparison of the actual values recorded in the financial statements, not the rounded values.

Alabama National acquired Millennium Bank on June 19, 2003, Cypress Bankshares, Inc. on February 20, 2004, Indian River Banking Company on February 27, 2004 and Coquina Bank on July 9, 2004, using the purchase method of accounting in each transaction. Accordingly, the results of operations for Cypress Bank, Indian River National Bank and Coquina Bank are not included in the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2003. Millennium Bank’s results of operations are included for the entire three months ended September 30, 2003, but the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include only Millennium Bank’s results subsequent to the acquisition date. The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 include Millennium for the entire periods but only include the results of operations of Cypress, Indian River and Coquina subsequent to the acquisition date for each.

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, 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Alabama National’s accounting policies are critical to understanding the results of operations and financial position as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policies utilized by Alabama National are discussed in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in “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, 2003.

Performance Overview

Alabama National’s net income was $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2004 (the “2004 third quarter”), compared to $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2003 (the “2003 third quarter”). Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (the “2004 nine months”) was $39.3 million, compared to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (the “2003 nine months”). Net income per diluted common share for the 2004 and 2003 third quarters was $0.86 and $0.80, respectively. For the 2004 nine months, net income per diluted common share was $2.50, compared to $2.35 for the 2003 nine months.

The annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.15% and 1.12% for the 2004 and 2003 third quarters, respectively. The annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.11% for the 2004 nine months, compared to 1.14% for the 2003 nine months. The annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 11.77% for the 2004 third quarter, as compared to 15.55% for the 2003 third quarter. The annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 12.39% and 16.07% for the 2004 and 2003 nine months, respectively. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity have each been negatively affected by recent acquisitions due to the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, which amount increased the denominator in both of these ratio calculations. The recent public offering by Alabama National has also negatively affected the return on average shareholders’ equity for the 2004 periods because it resulted in an increase in shareholders’ equity. Book value per share at September 30, 2004 was $30.70, an increase of $8.94 from year-end 2003, due primarily to the impact of 2004 acquisitions. Alabama National declared cash dividends totaling $0.9375 per share on common stock during the 2004 nine months, compared to $0.855 per share declared on common stock during the 2003 nine months.

Net Income

The primary reasons for the increased net income during the 2004 third quarter and 2004 nine months, compared to the same periods in 2003, are an increase in net interest income and the acquisitions of Cypress Bank, Indian River National Bank and Coquina Bank. The 2004 acquisitions contributed $2.7 million and $5.5 million in net income for the 2004 third quarter and nine months, respectively. Net interest income for the 2004 third quarter totaled $43.6 million, a 40.2% increase over the $31.1 million recorded in the 2003 third quarter. During the 2004 nine months, net interest income totaled $117.9 million, a 33.3% increase compared to $88.5 million recorded in the 2003 nine months. The increased net interest income was offset by a decline in total noninterest income recorded during the 2004 third quarter and nine months. During the 2004 third quarter, total noninterest income was $18.6 million, a decrease of $3.3 million as compared to the 2003 third quarter. For the 2004 nine months, noninterest income was $55.5 million, a decrease of 10.7% from $62.2 million recorded in the 2003 nine months. The income from the sale of mortgage loans and income from investment services experienced a significant decrease in each period of 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003. The revenue recorded in these two business segments during the 2003 third quarter and nine months were both near record levels for Alabama National.

Average earning assets for the 2004 third quarter and nine months increased by $1.18 billion and $1.03 billion, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $919.6 million and $833.2 million during the 2004 third quarter and nine months, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. Recent acquisitions have contributed greatly to the increases in average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The average taxable equivalent rate earned on assets was 5.27% and 5.18% for the 2004 third quarter and 2004 nine months, respectively, compared to 5.27% and 5.48% for the 2003 third quarter and 2003 nine months, respectively. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.72% and 1.70% for the 2004 third quarter and 2004 nine months, respectively, compared to 1.87% and 2.06% for the 2003 third quarter and 2003 nine months, respectively. The net interest margin was 3.77% and 3.67% for the 2004 third quarter and 2004 nine months, respectively, compared to 3.60% and 3.63% for the 2003 third quarter and 2003 nine months, respectively. The net interest margin for the 2004 third quarter increased by 16 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2004. Alabama National has benefited from the Federal Reserve Bank’s three separate fed funds rate increases beginning June 30, 2004. Alabama National’s variable rate loans have repriced at the higher rates but deposit costs have not repriced as quickly.

The following tables depict, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 2004 and 2003 third quarter and nine 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 and lease losses represents a charge to current earnings necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the loss in the loan and lease portfolio. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans and leases outstanding, the level of non-performing loans and adversely rated loans, historical loan and lease loss experience, the amount of loan and lease charge-offs during a given period, and current economic conditions. The provision for loan and lease losses was $1.6 million for the 2004 third quarter, an increase of $228,000 when compared with $1.4 million recorded in the 2003 third quarter. The provision for loan and lease losses was $4.1 million for the 2004 nine months, compared to $3.9 million in the 2003 nine months. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income (excluding loans held for sale), was 1.35% at September 30, 2004, compared to 1.37% at December 31, 2003.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the assessment process, there can be no assurance that loan and lease losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan and lease losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required. See Asset Quality.

Total noninterest income for the 2004 third quarter was $18.6 million, compared to $21.9 million for the 2003 third quarter, a decrease of 15.1%. For the 2004 nine months, noninterest income decreased to $55.5 million, compared to $62.2 million for the 2003 nine months, a decrease of 10.7%. The major components of noninterest income include service charges on deposits, investment services revenue, securities brokerage and trust revenue, insurance commissions, fees relating to the sale of mortgage loans, and income earned on bank owned life insurance. Service charges on deposits posted a significant increase in both periods of 2004. Service charges on deposits for the 2004 third quarter and 2003 third quarter were $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. For the 2004 nine months, service charge income increased to $12.9 million from $10.4 million for the 2003 nine months. The primary reason for the increase in service charges is the impact of Alabama National’s recent acquisitions, which contributed $779,000 and $1.8 million of service charge income during the 2004 third quarter and nine months, respectively.

Revenue from Alabama National’s investment division totaled $2.7 million in the 2004 third quarter, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 41.1%, as compared to $4.6 million recorded in the 2003 third quarter. During the 2004 nine months the investment division’s revenue totaled $9.9 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 38.7%, as compared to $16.1 million in the 2003 nine months. Since Coquina Bank, Cypress Bank, Indian River National Bank and Millennium Bank do not operate in this business line, the acquisition of these banks had no impact on investment services revenue. The revenue recorded by the investment division in the 2003 nine months was at a record level for this division. The revenue generated by the investment division is dependent upon the demand for fixed income securities by its customers, which are primarily correspondent community banks. Demand for these securities was high during the 2003 third quarter and nine months due to increased liquidity of community banks resulting from decreased loan demand and increased cash flow from their existing securities portfolios. Although the activity for this division has moderated as interest rates have remained low, the investment division continues to add new customers and expand its market area.

Securities brokerage and trust revenue increased modestly during the 2004 third quarter and nine months as compared with the same periods of 2003. The increase in the securities brokerage and trust division revenue during each period of 2004 is attributable to continued expansion in the number of customers and total customer assets under management by these departments, as well as an increase in the number of registered representatives. The gain generated from the sale of mortgages decreased to $2.9 million for the 2004 third quarter from $5.5 million in the 2003 third quarter, representing a 47.9% decrease. During the 2004 nine months the gain from sale of mortgages decreased to $8.9 million

from $13.4 million during the 2003 nine months, a decrease of 33.8%. The gain recorded from the sale of mortgages during the 2003 third quarter and nine months were record levels for Alabama National due to falling interest rates and the impact on mortgage refinancing activity. Mortgage rates have shown modest increases in 2004, and refinance activity has thus slowed and revenue from refinancing has decreased.

Other noninterest income increased to $3.0 million for the 2004 third quarter, compared to $1.8 million during the 2003 third quarter. Other noninterest income increased to $6.9 million during the 2004 nine months, an increase of 45.3%, compared to $4.8 million recorded in the 2003 nine months. During the 2004 third quarter Alabama National received approximately $400,000 from settlement of a litigation claim, increasing other noninterest income for each period of 2004. Also contributing to this increase is the impact of Alabama National’s recent acquisitions, which contributed $210,000 and $573,000 of other noninterest income during the 2004 third quarter and nine months, respectively. Another reason for the increase is an increase in the income earned from debit card and credit card activity.

Noninterest expense was $38.2 million for the 2004 third quarter, compared to $35.6 million for the 2003 third quarter. For the 2004 nine months, noninterest expense was $110.0 million, compared to $101.5 million for the 2003 nine months. Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, commission based compensation, occupancy and equipment expenses, amortization of intangibles, and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were $19.6 million for the 2004 third quarter, compared to $16.9 million for the 2003 third quarter. For the 2004 nine months, salaries and employee benefits were $56.3 million, compared to $48.7 million in the 2003 nine months. The most significant reason for the increase in salaries and employee benefit expense is the impact of recent acquisitions, which accounted for $2.6 million and $5.9 million of the increase during the 2004 third quarter and nine months, respectively. Commission based compensation was $4.4 million for the 2004 third quarter, compared to $6.1 million for the 2003 third quarter. For the 2004 nine months, commission based compensation totaled $13.9 million, compared to $18.2 million in the 2003 nine months. The decrease in commission based compensation recorded for each period of 2004 is attributable to decreased production in the mortgage and investment services divisions, as a significant portion of the compensation in these divisions is production-based. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $4.1 million in the 2004 third quarter and $3.3 million in the 2003 third quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $11.5 million in the 2004 nine months and $9.7 million in the 2003 nine months. The increased occupancy and equipment expense for the 2004 third quarter and nine months is due primarily to Alabama National’s recent acquisitions. Other noninterest expense increased to $9.3 million in the 2004 third quarter, compared with $9.1 million in the 2003 third quarter. Other noninterest expense was $26.2 million in the 2004 nine months, compared to $24.0 million in the 2003 nine months. The primary reason for the increase in period of 2004 is due to Alabama National’s recent acquisitions. Other components of noninterest expense that experienced increases in the 2004 periods are transactional costs associated with a greater volume of debit and credit card transactions and an increase in professional services associated with complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $7.6 million for the 2004 third quarter, compared to $5.4 million for the 2003 third quarter. For the 2004 nine months, income tax expense was $20.0 million, compared to $15.0 million for the 2003 nine months. The effective tax rates for the 2004 third quarter and the 2004 nine months were 34.2% and 33.8%, respectively, compared to 33.7% and 33.1% for the same periods of 2003. These effective tax rates are impacted by items of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state taxation. The effective rate in the 2004 third quarter and nine months is higher than the 2003 periods due to higher pre-tax income without a corresponding increase in income items not subject to federal or state taxation.

Earning Assets

Loans and leases comprised the largest single category of Alabama National’s earning assets on September 30, 2004. Loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $3.40 billion, or 66.1% of total assets at September 30, 2004, compared to $2.66 billion, or 69.6% of total assets at December 31, 2003. Loans and leases grew $740.9 million, or 27.9%, during the 2004 nine months, compared to the 2003 year-end. Excluding the Indian River National Bank, Cypress Bank and Coquina Bank acquisitions, loans and leases grew $255.9 million, or 9.6% from December 31, 2003 balances. The following table details the composition of the loan and lease portfolio by category at the dates indicated:

Excluding the 2004 acquisitions, deposits increased $185.2 million, or 6.7%, during the 2004 nine months, compared with December 31, 2003 balances. Deposits continue to increase organically due to recent branch expansions, successful business development efforts by Alabama National and overall economic growth in the markets served by Alabama National. At September 30, 2004, deposits included $184.3 million of brokered time deposits, compared to $156.0 million at December 31, 2003.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $460.5 million at September 30, 2004, an increase of $102.1 million from December 31, 2003.

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 September 30, 2004, Alabama National had no loans past due 90 days or more that were 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 and lease losses.

At September 30, 2004, nonperforming assets totaled $9.8 million, compared to $10.5 million at year-end 2003. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans plus other real estate were 0.29% at September 30, 2004, compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2003. The following table presents Alabama National’s nonperforming assets for the dates indicated.

The loan and lease 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 and lease 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 and lease losses at September 30, 2004 to be adequate to cover probable loan and lease 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 and lease losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan and lease 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 net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by Alabama National is simulation analysis, which technique is augmented by “gap” analysis.

In simulation analysis, Alabama National reviews each individual asset and liability category and its 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 Alabama National competes. Using this projected behavior and differing rate scenarios as inputs, the simulation analysis generates as output a projection of net interest income. Alabama National 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 Alabama National 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.

Alabama National 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. 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 September 30, 2004, 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. As shown in the table above, Alabama National is asset sensitive on a cumulative basis throughout all periods but is liability sensitive in the after three through twelve months time and greater than three years time frame. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing 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 are viewed by management as significantly less interest sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on non-core deposits. For this and other reasons, management relies more upon the simulation analysis (as noted above) in managing interest rate risk. 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, to a large degree, 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 (adjusted in the current period due to historically low interest rates) 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, prepayment options exist whereby the borrower may elect to repay the obligation at any time. These prepayment options make anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in prevailing rates. At September 30, 2004, mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $839.6 million, or 16.3% of total assets, and essentially every loan and lease, net of unearned income (totaling $3.40 billion, or 66.1% of total assets), carried such prepayment options. Management believes that assumptions used in its simulation analysis about the performance of financial instruments with such prepayment 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 $3.63 billion, or 70.7%, of total assets at September 30, 2004. 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 decrease, the spread tends to compress, with severe compression at very low prevailing interest rates. This characteristic is called “spread compression” and adversely affects 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 tables illustrate 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. As also noted above, this model uses estimates and assumptions in both balance sheet growth and asset and liability account rate reactions to changes in prevailing interest rates. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the simulation model used to derive this market risk 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 tables.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy

Alabama National’s net loans and leases to deposit ratio was 93.6% at September 30, 2004, compared to 96.6% at year-end 2003. Alabama National’s liquid assets as a percentage of total deposits were 5.5% at September 30, 2004, compared to 5.4% at year-end 2003. At September 30, 2004, Alabama National had unused federal funds lines of approximately $121.7 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $1.03 billion and an unused credit line with a third party bank of $30.0 million. The ability of Alabama National to use the entire amount of credit extended by the Federal Home Loan Bank depends on the available collateral to pledge for borrowings. Alabama National also has access to approximately $41.2 million via a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At September 30, 2004 and year-end 2003, there were no outstanding borrowings under this Federal Reserve credit facility.

Management analyzes the level of off-balance sheet agreements 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.

During the 2004 third quarter, Alabama National completed an underwritten public offering of 977,500 shares of common stock (including 127,500 shares subject to an over-allotment option) and received net proceeds of approximately $49.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The net proceeds were used to pay off the credit facility with the third party bank and make capital injections in subsidiary banks. In addition, a portion of the net proceeds were retained for general corporate liquidity needs at the holding company.

Alabama National’s stockholders’ equity increased by $241.8 million from December 31, 2003, to $521.2 million at September 30, 2004. This increase was attributable to the following components (in thousands):


Net income	$	39,257
Dividends		(14,922	)
Issuance of stock for option exercises and other stock based compensation		2,066
Issuance of stock in purchase business combinations		164,180

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 September 30, 2004. Under the capital guidelines of their regulators, Alabama National and its subsidiary 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 September 30, 2004:


	Tier 1 Risk Based		Total Risk Based		Tier 1 Leverage
Alabama National BanCorporation	12.18	%	13.43	%	8.46	%
