securities brokerage firm, NBC Securities, Inc. (Birmingham, Alabama); one receivables factoring company, Corporate Billing, Inc. (Decatur, Alabama); and one insurance agency, ANB Insurance Services, Inc. (headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama).



Recent Developments



Merger of National Bank of Commerce and First American Bank



Effective February 18, 2005, two of Alabama
Nationals wholly-owned subsidiary banks, National Bank of Commerce of Birmingham and First American Bank, merged. The combined bank operates under the name First American Bank, with 33 locations in north and central Alabama. Since the entities
were under common control, there were no purchase accounting adjustments. The combination recognizes the market overlap that the two banks began to experience and allowed Alabama National to better utilize the management talent found within the
Company.



Subsidiary Banks



Alabama National operates through 12 subsidiary Banks which have a total of
82 banking offices and seven loan/mortgage origination offices in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Banks focus on traditional consumer, residential mortgage, commercial and real estate construction lending, and equipment leasing to
customers in their market areas. The Banks also offer a variety of deposit programs to individuals and small businesses and other organizations at interest rates generally consistent with local market conditions. First American Bank offers trust
services to corporations and individuals. Investment services and securities brokerage

services are offered through NBC Securities, Inc. at a number of the locations of the Banks. In addition, the Banks offer individual retirement and KEOGH
accounts, safe deposit and night depository facilities and additional services such as the sale of travelers checks, money orders and cashiers checks.



Lending Activities



General



Through the Banks, Alabama National offers a range of lending services, including real estate, consumer and commercial loans, to individuals and small
businesses and other organizations that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their business in the Banks market areas. Alabama Nationals total loans, net of unearned interest, at December 31, 2004, were approximately $3.5
billion, or approximately 72.2% of total earning assets. The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk, maturity and amount of the loan and are further subject to competitive pressures, money market rates, availability of funds
and government regulations. Alabama National has no foreign loans (other than approximately $1.45 million of factored receivables) or loans for highly leveraged transactions, as such terms are defined by applicable banking
regulations.



Loan Portfolio



Real Estate Loans.    Loans secured by real
estate are the primary component of Alabama Nationals loan portfolio, constituting approximately $2.8 billion, or 79.9% of total loans, net of unearned interest, at December 31, 2004. The Banks often take real estate as an additional source of
collateral to secure commercial and industrial loans. Such loans are classified as real estate loans rather than commercial and industrial loans if the real estate collateral is considered significant as a secondary source of repayment for the loan.
The Banks real estate loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and residential mortgages. Residential mortgages held in the Banks loan portfolio, both fixed and variable, are made based upon amortization schedules of up to 30 years but
generally have maturity dates of five years or less. The Banks commercial mortgages accrue at either variable or fixed rates. The variable rates approximate current market rates. Construction loans are typically made on a variable rate basis.
Origination fees are normally charged for most loans secured by real estate. The Banks primary type of residential mortgage loan is the single-family first mortgage, typically structured with fixed or adjustable interest rates, based on market
conditions. These loans usually have fixed rates for up to five years, with maturities of 25 to 30 years.



The Banks originate residential loans for sale into the secondary market. Such loans are made in accordance with underwriting standards set by the
purchaser of the loan, normally as to loan-to-value ratio, interest rate, borrower qualification and documentation. Such loans are generally made under a commitment to purchase from a loan purchaser. The Banks generally collect from the borrower or
purchaser a combination of the origination fee, discount points and/or service release fee. During 2004, the Banks sold approximately $652 million in loans to such purchasers.



The Banks nonresidential mortgage loans include commercial, industrial and unimproved real estate loans. The Banks
generally require nonresidential mortgage loans to have an 80% loan-to-value ratio and usually underwrite their commercial loans on the basis of the borrowers cash flow and ability to service the debt from earnings, rather than on the basis of
the value of the collateral. Terms on construction loans are usually less than twelve months, and the Banks typically require real estate mortgages and personal guarantees supported by financial statements and a review of the guarantors
personal finances.



Consumer
Loans.    Consumer lending includes installment lending to individuals in the Banks market areas and generally consists of loans to purchase automobiles and other consumer durable goods. Consumer loans constituted $88.7
million, or 2.5% of Alabama Nationals loan portfolio at December 31, 2004. Consumer loans are underwritten based on the borrowers income, current debt level, past credit history and collateral. Consumer rates are both variable and fixed,
with terms negotiable. Terms generally range from one to five years depending on the nature and condition of the collateral. Periodic amortization, generally monthly, is typically required.

##### Table of Contents

Commercial and Financial Loans.    The Banks make loans for commercial
purposes in various lines of business. These loans are typically made on terms up to five years at fixed or variable rates. The loans are secured by various types of collateral including accounts receivable, inventory or, in the case of equipment
loans, the financed equipment. The Banks attempt to reduce their credit risk on commercial loans by underwriting the loan based on the borrowers cash flow and its ability to service the debt from earnings, and by limiting the loan to value
ratio. Historically, the Banks have typically loaned up to 80% on loans secured by accounts receivable, up to 50% on loans secured by inventory, and up to 100% on loans secured by equipment. The Banks also make some unsecured commercial loans and
offer equipment leasing. Commercial and financial loans constituted $282.2 million, or 8.1% of Alabama Nationals loan portfolio at December 31, 2004. Interest rates are negotiable based upon the borrowers financial condition, credit
history, management stability and collateral.



Credit
Procedures and Review



Loan
Approval.    Certain credit risks are inherent in making loans. These include prepayment risks, risks resulting from uncertainties in the future value of collateral, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry
conditions and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers. In particular, longer maturities increase the risk that economic conditions will change and adversely affect collectibility.



Alabama National attempts to minimize loan losses through various means and
uses standardized underwriting criteria. Alabama National has established a standardized loan policy for all of the Banks that may be modified based on local market conditions. In particular, on larger credits, Alabama National generally relies on
the cash flow of a debtor as the source of repayment and secondarily on the value of the underlying collateral. In addition, Alabama National attempts to utilize shorter loan terms in order to reduce the risk of a decline in the value of such
collateral.



Alabama National addresses repayment risks by
adhering to internal credit policies and procedures which all of the Banks have adopted. These policies and procedures include officer and customer lending limits, a multi-layered loan approval process for larger loans, documentation examination and
follow-up procedures for any exceptions to credit policies. The point in each Banks loan approval process at which a loan is approved depends on the size of the borrowers credit relationship with such Bank. Each of the lending officers
at each of the Banks has the authority to approve loans up to an approved loan authority amount as approved by each Banks Board of Directors. Loans in excess of the highest loan authority amount at each Bank must be approved by Alabama
Nationals President and Chief Operating Officer. In addition, loans in excess of a particular loan officers approval authority must be approved by a more senior officer at the particular Bank, the loan committee at such Bank, or both.



Loan Review.    Alabama National
maintains a continuous loan review system for First American Bank and a scheduled review system for the other Banks. Under this system, each loan officer is directly responsible for monitoring the risk in his portfolio and is required to maintain
risk ratings for each credit assigned. The risk rating system incorporates the basic regulatory rating system as set forth in the applicable regulatory asset quality examination procedures.



Alabama Nationals Loan Review Department (LRD), which is
wholly independent of the lending function, serves as a validation of each loan officers risk monitoring and rating system. LRDs primary function is to provide the Board of Directors of each Bank with a thorough understanding of the
credit quality of such Banks loan portfolio. Other review requirements are in place to provide management with early warning systems for problem credits as well as compliance with stated lending policies. LRDs findings are reported,
along with an asset quality review, to the Alabama National Board of Directors at each bi-monthly meeting.



Deposits



The principal
sources of funds for the Banks are core deposits, consisting of demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts, savings deposits and certificates of deposit. Transaction



5

##### Table of Contents

accounts include checking and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts which customers use for cash management and which provide the Banks with a source
of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities, as well as a low-cost source of funds. Time and savings accounts also provide a relatively stable and low-cost source of funding. The largest source of funds for the Banks are certificates of deposit.
Certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 are held primarily by customers in the Banks market areas. Alabama National does utilize brokered certificate of deposits to supplement in market funding sources when funding needs or pricing
warrant the use of wholesale funding.



Deposit rates are
reviewed weekly by senior management of each of the Banks. Management at Alabama National believes that the rates the Banks offer are competitive with those offered by other institutions in the Banks market areas. Alabama National focuses on
customer service to attract and retain deposits.



Investment Services



First American Bank operates an investment department
devoted primarily to handling correspondent banks investment needs. Services provided by the investment department include the sale of securities, asset/liability consulting, safekeeping and bond accounting.



Securities Brokerage and Trust Division



First American Banks wholly owned subsidiary, NBC Securities, Inc.
(NBC Securities), is a broker-dealer registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation. Started in 1995, NBC Securities provides investment services to individuals and
institutions. These services include the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, margin loans, other insurance products and financial advisory services. NBC Securities has a total of 78 investment representatives and advisors located in 44
offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. First American Bank also operates a trust division that manages the assets of both corporate and individual customers located primarily in the Birmingham, Alabama market. The divisions
corporate trust services include managing and servicing retirement plan accounts such as pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans.



Mortgage Lending Division



Substantially all of the Banks operate mortgage lending divisions that make home loans to individuals located in the markets served by the Banks. The
majority of these loans are sold to corporate investors, who also service the loans.



Insurance Services Division



Alabama
Nationals First American Bank subsidiary purchased an existing insurance agency, Rankin Insurance Services, Inc., in 1999. Rankin Insurance, now operating under the name ANB Insurance Services, is a full service independent property and
casualty insurance agency headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Agents are located at several of the Banks.



Competition



Alabama
National encounters strong competition in all of its businesses. The Banks compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking
companies, and other financial intermediaries operating in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and elsewhere. Many of these competitors, some of which are affiliated with large bank holding companies, have substantially greater resources and lending limits,
and may offer certain services that the Banks do not currently provide. In addition, many of Alabama Nationals non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally
insured banks.

##### Table of Contents

Customers for banking services are generally influenced by convenience, quality of service, personal
contacts, prices of services and availability of products. Alabama National believes that its affiliates effectively compete with others banks and financial institutions in their relevant market areas.



Market Areas and Growth Strategy



Alabama National currently conducts business through 42 banking locations in
Alabama, 32 banking locations in Florida and 8 banking locations in Georgia. Approximately 99% of our Banks deposits are in metropolitan statistical areas.



In Alabama, we focus our operations in three principal market areas: north Alabama (Decatur-Huntsville market); the
metropolitan Birmingham area and east central Alabama; and Baldwin County (located on the Gulf Coast between Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida). In Florida, we focus our operations in six principal market areas: Pensacola (located in the
Florida panhandle); the Gainesville metropolitan area; the Orlando metropolitan area; the coastal Atlantic counties of Indian River and Brevard (including the Port St. Lucie metropolitan area); the Palm Coast / Ormond Beach region; and the Naples
metropolitan area. In Georgia, we focus our operations in the greater-Atlanta counties of Cobb, Douglas and Paulding.



Alabama National intends to pursue expansion into attractive, high growth markets in Florida, Georgia and Alabama through acquisitions of community banks
and branch locations and through bank expansions. Since December 1995, Alabama National has successfully integrated eleven bank acquisitions and two separate branch acquisitions. Alabama National focuses its acquisition strategy on high quality
community banks with proven management teams that view Alabama National as a partner, rather than as an exit strategy. Alabama Nationals strategy is to maintain the management team of each acquired bank, allowing it to retain its local
entrepreneurial identity and decision making, while simultaneously creating efficiencies in the administrative and back office operations of the bank.



Through First American Bank, Alabama National serves the metropolitan Birmingham market, which includes portions of Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair
Counties. First American Bank also serves Morgan, Limestone and Madison Counties in north Alabama and Lee County in east central Alabama. The Decatur-Huntsville, Alabama market has demonstrated a growing economic base in recent years. First American
entered the Lee County market, which includes the communities of Auburn and Opelika, with the 2001 acquisition of Farmers National Bancshares, Inc. Lee County is also one of Alabamas higher growth counties. Through First Gulf Bank,
Alabama National serves Baldwin County, Alabama. Located between Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, Baldwin County has a broad base of economic activity in the retail and service, agriculture, seafood, tourism and manufacturing industries.
Baldwin County includes the popular tourism and retirement resort communities of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and Fairhope. Shelby, Baldwin, Lee and St. Clair Counties have been named in statistical surveys as four of the fastest growing counties in
Alabama.



In 1997, Alabama National expanded outside of
Alabama with the opening of Citizens & Peoples Bank, N.A. in Escambia County, Florida. In 1998, Alabama National further expanded its presence in markets outside of Alabama with two acquisitions in Florida and one in Georgia. Community Bank
of Naples, N.A., located in Collier County, Florida, and Georgia State Bank, located in the greater-Atlanta counties of Cobb, Douglas and Paulding, are located in markets that are among the fastest growing in their respective states. Public Bank is
located in the fast-growing greater Orlando area, with offices in Altamonte Springs, Kissimmee and St. Cloud, Florida. In January 2001, Alabama National expanded its presence in the greater-Orlando area with the acquisition of Peoples State Bank of
Groveland (Peoples State Bank), serving customers in the communities of Groveland, Leesburg and Clermont, Florida. Peoples State Bank merged with Public Bank in June 2004. In June 2003, Alabama National further expanded in Florida with
the acquisition of Millennium Bank in Gainesville. Home to the University of Florida, Gainesville has experienced solid economic activity and good population growth.



In February 2004, Alabama National completed the acquisitions of two additional Florida bank holding companies: Cypress
Bankshares, Inc. (Cypress Bank) in Palm Coast and Indian River Banking Company

##### Table of Contents

(Indian River) in Vero Beach. Palm Coast, located in Flagler County, has experienced strong growth in population and bank deposits. Indian River
serves the coastal Atlantic counties of Indian River and Brevard through eight locations in Vero Beach, Sebastian, Melbourne, Palm Bay and Rockledge, Florida. In July 2004, Alabama National acquired Coquina Bank of Ormond Beach, Florida. Coquina
Bank subsequently merged with Cypress Bank in August 2004 to form CypressCoquina Bank.



The other subsidiary Banks, First Citizens Bank, Alabama Exchange Bank and Bank of Dadeville, are located in non-metropolitan areas. Each of these three Banks, while experiencing lower growth due to limited market
growth, typically operates at a high level of profitability. As a result, these Banks tend to produce capital for growth in many of the high growth markets served by the other Banks. Alabama Nationals strategy is to focus on maximization of
profitability for these non-metropolitan banks, since market growth has not been as significant.



Due to continuing consolidation within the banking industry, particularly in the Southeastern United States, Alabama National may in the future seek to
combine with other banks or thrifts (or their holding companies) that may be of smaller, equal or greater size than Alabama National. Alabama National currently intends to concentrate on acquisitions of additional banks or thrifts (or their holding
companies) which operate in attractive market areas in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. In addition to price and terms, the factors considered by Alabama National in determining the desirability of a business acquisition or combination are financial
condition, asset quality, earnings potential, quality of management, market area and competitive environment.



In addition to its strategy of expansion through combinations with other banks or thrifts, Alabama National intends to continue to expand organically
where possible by growing its existing banks in their respective market areas and nearby attractive markets.



During 1998, NBC formed a commercial leasing division which currently focuses on machinery and equipment leases to business customers. Also, Alabama
National is exploring expansion into lines of business closely related to banking and will pursue such expansion if it believes such lines could be profitable without causing undue risk to Alabama National. During 1999, First American Bank acquired
Rankin Insurance Services, Inc. (now known as ANB Insurance Services, Inc.), a full service independent property and casualty insurance agency headquartered in Decatur, Alabama. ANB Insurance Services completed the acquisition of two additional
insurance agencies in 2002, one headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, and one headquartered in Groveland, Florida. ANB Insurance Services has agents in most of the markets serviced by the Banks and has sought to expand its footprint through internal
growth and acquisitions. Alabama National has also expanded its securities brokerage unit, NBC Securities, Inc., by locating investment representatives in offices of several of Alabama Nationals subsidiary Banks as well as in offices of some
correspondent banks. It has also added investment representatives in other non-bank locations when opportunities have arisen.



While Alabama National plans to continue its growth as described above, there is no assurance that its efforts will be successful.



Employees



As of December 31, 2004, Alabama National and the Banks together had approximately 1,492 full-time equivalent employees.
None of these employees is a party to a collective bargaining agreement. Alabama National considers its relations with its employees to be good.



Supervision and Regulation



Alabama National and the Banks are subject to extensive supervision, regulation and examination by various bank regulatory authorities and other
governmental agencies. State and federal banking laws have as their principal objective either the maintenance of the safety and soundness of financial institutions and the federal deposit insurance system or the protection of consumers or classes
of consumers, and depositors in particular, rather than the specific protection of stockholders of a bank or its parent company.

##### Table of Contents

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations that relate to the regulation of
Alabama National, the Banks and our broker-dealer and insurance company subsidiaries. To the extent that the following material describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory
and regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of Alabama National.



As a registered bank holding company, Alabama National is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHCA),
and to inspection, examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve. The Banks are subject to supervision, examination and regulation by applicable state and federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency (the OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC). The Banks are also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain allowances
against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various
consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Banks. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve as it attempts to control the money supply and credit
availability in order to influence the economy.



Under the
BHCA, Alabama National may not generally engage in activities, or acquire more than 5% of any class of voting securities of any company engaged in activities, other than banking or activities that are closely related to banking. However, a bank
holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to such financial activities, as determined by the Federal Reserve alone, or together
with the Secretary of the Department of Treasury. Alabama National has not elected financial holding company status. See Gramm-Leach Bliley Act below.



Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Riegle-Neal)



Riegle-Neal permits adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank
holding companies, as determined by the Federal Reserve, to acquire banks in any state subject to concentration limits and other conditions. Riegle-Neal also generally authorizes the interstate merger of banks. In addition, Riegle-Neal permits banks
to establish new branches on an interstate basis, provided that the law of the host state specifically authorizes such action.



Dividends



The Federal Reserve has authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice.
The Federal Reserve has indicated generally that it may be an unsafe or unsound practice for bank holding companies to pay dividends unless the bank holding companys net income over the preceding year is sufficient to fund the dividends, and
the expected rate of earnings retention is consistent with the organizations capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.



In addition to the limitations placed on the payment of dividends at the holding company level, there are various legal and regulatory limits on the
extent to which the Banks may pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Alabama National. Under Alabama law, a bank may not pay a dividend in excess of 90 percent of its net earnings until the banks surplus is equal to at least 20 percent of
capital. Also, under Alabama law, a bank is required to obtain approval of the Superintendent of Banking prior to the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year will exceed the total of (a) the
banks net earnings (as defined by statute) for the year, plus (b) its retained net earnings for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. Also, no dividends may be paid from the banks surplus without the prior
written approval of the Superintendent of Banking. All of the Banks that are chartered under Alabama law are subject to these dividends restrictions. The Banks located and chartered in Florida and Georgia are subject to the laws and regulations of
those states which also place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, federal and state regulatory agencies have the authority to prevent a bank or bank holding
company from paying a dividend or engaging in any other activity that, in the opinion of the agency, would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. The inability of the Banks to pay dividends may have an adverse effect on Alabama National.



FDIC Regulation



The Banks pay deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on an assessment
rate established by the FDIC for Bank Insurance Fund-member institutions. The FDIC uses a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of
assets and liabilities and assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose greater risks to the federal deposit insurance funds.



Bank Holding Company Support of Subsidiary Banks



There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by federal law and
regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance fund in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For
example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to
support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. In addition, the cross guarantee provisions of federal law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any
loss suffered or reasonably anticipated as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. All
of the Banks are FDIC-insured depository institutions. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary banks. In the event of a
bank holding companys bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.



Regulatory Capital Requirements



Alabama National is required to comply with the capital adequacy standards
established by the Federal Reserve, and the Banks must comply with similar capital adequacy standards established by the OCC, FDIC and the Federal Reserve, as applicable. Failure to meet capital adequacy standards could subject Alabama National or
the Banks to a variety of enforcement remedies, including the issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, and certain other restrictions on its business. The federal banking agencies have broad powers under
current federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are well capitalized, adequately
capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized as such terms are defined under regulations issued by each of the federal banking agencies. In general, the
agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements sensitive to the risk profiles of individual banking companies. The guidelines define capital as either Tier 1 (primarily common shareholders equity) or Tier
2 (certain debt instruments and a portion of the allowance for loan losses). Alabama National and the Banks are subject to a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets) of 4%, a total capital ratio (Tier 1 plus Tier 2 to
risk weighted assets) of 8% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 to average quarterly assets) of 3%. To be considered a well capitalized institution, the Tier 1 capital ratio, the total capital ratio, and the Tier 1 leverage ratio must
equal or exceed 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively.



Affiliate
Transactions



The Banks are subject to Regulation W, which
comprehensively implemented statutory restrictions on transactions between a bank and its affiliates. Regulation W combines the Federal Reserves interpretations and



10



---

##### Table of Contents

exemptions relating to Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Regulation W and Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act place limits on the amount of
loans or extensions of credit to, investments in or certain other transactions with affiliates, and on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. In general, the Banks
affiliates are Alabama National and Alabama Nationals non-bank subsidiaries.



Regulation W and Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act prohibit, among other things, a bank from engaging in certain transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at
least as favorable to the bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies.



The Banks are also subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, certain principal stockholders and their
related interests. Such extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties and (ii) must not involve more
than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.



Gramm-Leach Bliley Act



The Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB Act) permits bank holding companies that meet certain management, capital and community reinvestment standards to engage in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities than
were permitted previously, including insurance underwriting and merchant banking activities. Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the Federal Reserve, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is: (i) financial in nature; (ii) incidental to any such financial activity; or (iii) complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose
a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. Alabama National has not elected to become a financial holding company.



The GLB Act preserves the role of the Federal Reserve as the umbrella supervisor for holding companies while at the same
time incorporating a system of functional regulation designed to take advantage of the strengths of the various federal and state regulators. In particular, the Act replaces the broad exemption from Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that
banks previously enjoyed with more limited exemptions, and it reaffirms that states are the regulators for the insurance activities of all persons, including federally-chartered banks.



Privacy



The GLB Act and the applicable regulations issued by the various federal regulatory agencies require financial institutions (including banks, insurance
agencies and broker/dealers) to implement policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of nonpublic personal information about their customers with non-affiliated third parties. In general, financial institutions are required to explain to
consumers their policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such nonpublic personal information, and, unless otherwise required or permitted by law, financial institutions are prohibited from disclosing such information except as provided in
their policies and procedures. Specifically, the Information Security Guidelines established by the GLB Act require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of directors or an appropriate committee
thereof, to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or
integrity of such information; and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.



Bank Secrecy Act/USA Patriot Act



The Bank Secrecy Act is the centerpiece of the federal governments efforts to prevent banks and other financial
institutions from being used to facilitate the transfer or deposit of money derived from criminal activity.



11

##### Table of Contents

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions are obligated to file Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, on suspicious activities involving the
institution, including certain attempted or actual violations of law as well as certain transactions that do not appear to have a lawful purpose or are not the sort of transaction in which the particular customer would normally be expected to
engage.



The Bank Secrecy Act was amended by the USA Patriot
Act of 2001, expanding the important role the government expects banks to play in detecting and reporting suspicious activity. The USA Patriot Act broadened the application of anti-money laundering regulations to apply to additional types of
financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, and strengthened the ability of the U.S. government to detect and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The principal provisions of Title III of the USA Patriot Act
require that regulated financial institutions, including state member banks: (i) establish an anti-money laundering program that includes training and audit components; (ii) comply with regulations regarding the verification of the identity of any
person seeking to open an account; (iii) take additional required precautions with non-U.S. owned accounts; and (iv) perform certain verification and certification of money laundering risk for their foreign correspondent banking relationships. The
USA Patriot Act also expanded the conditions under which funds in a U.S. interbank account may be subject to forfeiture and increased the penalties for violation of anti-money laundering regulations.



Failure of a financial institution to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act, as
amended by the USA Patriot Act, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution. Alabama National has adopted policies, procedures and controls to address compliance with the these regulations and will continue to revise
and update its policies, procedures and controls to reflect changes required by the USA Patriot Act and all applicable implementing regulations.



The Community Reinvestment Act



The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective
jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC or the OCC shall evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and
sound operation of those institutions. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institutions discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes
are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. These factors are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of
their CRA ratings. Each of the Banks received at least a satisfactory rating in its most recent evaluation.



Other



As a registered broker-dealer and investment advisor, NBC Securities is subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and other self-regulatory organizations, which may affect its manner of operation and profitability.



ANB Insurance Services, Inc., a subsidiary of First American Bank, is subject to regulation in the various states and jurisdictions in which it transacts
business.

Dividends are paid at
the discretion of Alabama Nationals Board of Directors, based on Alabama Nationals operating performance and financial position, including earnings, capital and liquidity. Dividends from the subsidiary Banks are Alabama Nationals
primary source of funds for the payment of dividends to its stockholders, and there are various legal and regulatory limits on the extent to which the subsidiary Banks may pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Alabama National. In addition,
federal and state regulatory agencies have the authority to prevent Alabama National from paying a dividend to its stockholders. Thus, while Alabama National intends to continue paying dividends, it can make no assurances that it will be able to or
be permitted to do so in the future.



The last reported sales
price of Alabama Nationals common stock as reported on the NASDAQ/NMS on March 11, 2005 was $62.28. The prices shown do not reflect retail mark-ups and mark-downs.

facility with a third party bank and make capital injections in the subsidiary Banks. In addition, a portion of the net proceeds was retained for general corporate liquidity needs at the holding company.

|(1) |  | On January 31, 2001, Peoples State Bank of Groveland (PSB) merged with a newly formed subsidiary of Alabama National, whereby PSB became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alabama National (the PSB Merger). Because the merger was accounted for as pooling-of-interests, the historical Five-Year Summary of Selected Financial Data for all periods have been restated to include the results of operations of PSB
from the earliest period presented, except for dividends per common share.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | The weighted average common shares include those of PSB at the applicable exchange ratios.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) |  | Net interest income divided by average earning assets.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | Does not include loans held for sale.
|--- |  | -------------------------------------

|(5) |  | Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets include loans past due 90 days or more that are still accruing interest. It is Alabama Nationals policy to place all loans on
nonaccrual status when over ninety days past due.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) |  | Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible book value by the total number of common shares outstanding. Tangible book value equals book
value less goodwill and other intangible assets. Management believes that this measure is useful because it provides book value exclusive of goodwill and other intangible assets and because it is a measure used by many investors as part of their
analysis of Alabama National. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of book value per share to tangible book value per share:

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.



Executive Summary



The purpose of this section is to provide a brief summary overview of 2004. Additional detail about the income statement and
balance sheet is provided in the pages following this summary.



Income Statement



Alabama National reported
$54.6 million in 2004 net income, a 33.1% increase for 2004 over 2003 levels, with diluted earnings per share growing 7.1% from $3.17 in 2003 to $3.39 in 2004. During 2004, Alabama National acquired three banks. Indian River Banking Company and
Cypress Bankshares, Inc. were acquired in February, 2004, and Coquina Bank was acquired in July, 2004. The increase in net income is higher than the increase in diluted earnings per share because Alabama National issued additional shares of stock
during 2004 to acquire these banks and also issued shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering in the third quarter of the year. In addition, outstanding shares also increased through the exercise of stock options by option holders.
For the year, average diluted shares outstanding grew 24.3% to 16.1 million shares.



Alabama National has two components of revenuenet interest income and noninterest income. Both revenue components were positively impacted by the three 2004 acquisitions, with the greater impact being on the net
interest income.



Net interest income grew 35.0% to $163.3
million in 2004. The Company experienced a growth in its net interest spread and in its net interest margin, with the improvement occurring in the latter half of the year. The Federal Reserve began taking actions to increase interest rates in June,
resulting in an increase in earning asset yields that exceeded the increase in liability costs. As a result, the spread between the rate earned on loans, investments, and other earning assets and the rate paid on deposits and other interest-bearing
liabilities expanded during the year. Alabama National was further able to grow net interest income during 2004 due to its growth in earning assets and liabilities.



Noninterest income includes mortgage banking, securities brokerage and trust services, investment services, insurance
services, and service charges and other fees associated with traditional retail and commercial banking. Noninterest income declined $5.5 million, or 7.0% during 2004 from 2003s record levels, in spite of the aforementioned acquisition of three
banks. The decline was centered in the investment services area (down $7.1 million, or 37.7%) and in the mortgage banking area (down $4.7 million, or 29.0%). Both of these business lines faced a more difficult interest rate environment in 2004 than
in 2003. In the investment services area, securities called and prepaid were reduced from 2003s levels, leading to reduced demand by customers for securities to replace their called and prepaid investments. Similarly, mortgage refinancing
activity was reduced in 2004 from 2003 levels, leading to reduced revenue in that area. Other areas of noninterest income experienced increases in 2004, including service charges on deposit accounts (up $3.0 million, or 21.5%) and securities
brokerage and trust revenue (up $1.0 million, or 6.3%).



On the
expense side, Alabama Nationals noninterest expenses grew $16.4 million, or 12.5%. Most of this growth in noninterest expenses was associated with the three banks acquired during 2004 and the associated expansion of the number of branch
offices and associated personnel and other operating expenses. Commission-based compensation expenses declined with the decline in commission based revenue.



Balance Sheet



Alabama Nationals balance sheet expanded significantly during 2004, with total assets growing $1.5 billion, or 39.2%, over December 31, 2003 levels.
The 2004 acquisitions of Indian River Banking Company,

Cypress Bankshares, Inc., and Coquina Bank all contributed to the balance sheet growth. In addition, Alabama Nationals other banks experienced asset
growth. The largest categories of asset growth occurred in loans and leases (up $836 million) and securities (up $390 million). Deposits grew $1.18 billion during the year.



Asset Quality



Alabama National reported 2004 net charge-offs of $1.8 million, or 0.06% of average loans and leases, down from 2003s $3.1 million (0.13% of average
loans and leases). Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2004 were $9.6 million (0.28% of period end loans and leases and foreclosed property), down from year end 2003s $10.5 million (0.40% of period end loans and leases and foreclosed
property). Potential problem loans fell to $30.8 million at December 31, 2004 from year end 2003s $46.4 million. As a result of these factors and managements assessment of the inherent risk in the loan and lease portfolio, Alabama
Nationals provision for loan and lease losses declined from $5.9 million in 2003 to $4.9 million in 2004.

Selected Bank Financial Data



Alabama Nationals success is dependent upon the financial performance of its subsidiary banks (the Banks).
Alabama National, with input from the management of each Bank, establishes operating goals for each Bank. The following tables summarize selected financial information for 2004 and 2003 for each of the Banks. During February 2004, Indian River
National Bank and Cypress Bankshares, Inc. were acquired, and Coquina Bank was acquired in July 2004. Coquina Bank and Cypress bank were merged together in August 2004 and operate as CypressCoquina Bank. Millennium Bank was acquired during June
2003. Only the operating activity since the date of acquisition of each of these acquired banks is included in Alabama Nationals results of operations. In addition to the 2004 acquisitions, in June 2004 Alabama National merged together two
wholly owned subsidiaries, Peoples State Bank of Groveland and Public Bank. The combined bank now operates as Public Bank.

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 more detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements set forth beginning on page F-1 herein.



Some of the more complex technical accounting policies require management
to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the valuation of reported assets and liabilities, including associated revenues, expenses, and disclosure. The following briefly describes the more complex policies involving a significant
amount of judgments about valuation and the application of complex accounting standards and interpretations.



Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses



Alabama National records estimated probable inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolios as an allowance for loan and lease losses. The
methodologies and assumptions for determining the adequacy of the overall allowance for loan and lease losses involve significant judgments to be made by management. Some of the more critical judgments supporting the amount of Alabama
Nationals allowance for loan and lease losses include judgments about: credit worthiness of borrowers, estimated value of underlying collateral, assumptions about cash flow, determination of loss factors for estimating credit losses, and the
impact of current events, conditions, and other factors impacting the level of probable inherent losses. Under different conditions or using different assumptions, the actual amount of credit losses ultimately confirmed by Alabama National may be
different than managements estimates provided in the consolidated financial statements.



For a more complete discussion of the methodology employed to calculate the allowance for loan and lease losses, see Note 1 to Alabama Nationals consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report
and Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Lossesbelow.



Mergers and Acquisitions



Alabama Nationals growth in business and profitability over the past several years has been enhanced significantly by mergers and acquisitions. Prior to July 2001, certain of Alabama Nationals acquisitions were accounted for
using the pooling-of-interests business combination method of accounting. Effective July 1, 2001, Alabama National adopted SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, which allows only the use of the purchase method of accounting. For purchase
acquisitions, Alabama National is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as
appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The determination of the useful lives of intangible assets is subjective as is the appropriate amortization period for such intangible assets.
These estimates also include the establishment of various accruals and allowances based on planned facilities dispositions and employee severance considerations, among other acquisition-related items. In addition, purchase acquisitions typically
result in recording goodwill, which is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to the carrying value of goodwill.



Income Taxes



The calculation of Alabama Nationals income tax provision is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments in its determination. As part
of Alabama Nationals overall business strategy, management must consider tax laws and regulations that apply to the specific facts and circumstances under consideration. This analysis includes evaluating the amount and timing of the
realization of income tax liabilities or benefits. Management closely monitors tax developments in order to evaluate the effect they may have on Alabama Nationals overall tax position.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits



Alabama National offers various pension plans and postretirement benefit
plans to employees. The calculation of obligations and related expenses under these plans requires the use of actuarial valuation methods and assumptions. Actuarial valuations and the determination of future market values of plan assets are subject
to management judgment and may differ significantly if different assumptions are used. Please refer to Note 12 to Alabama Nationals consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for disclosures related to Alabama
Nationals benefit plans.



Stock-based Compensation



Alabama National uses a fair value based method of
accounting for stock based compensation costs. Compensation costs for stock-based compensation arrangements are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and are recognized over the related service period. Accounting for
stock-based compensation requires the use of an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock and the expected dividends on
it, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. Please refer to Note 12 to Alabama Nationals consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for disclosures related to Alabama Nationals
stock-based compensation awards.



Other



There are other complex accounting standards that require Alabama National
to employ significant judgment in interpreting and applying certain of the principles proscribed by those standards. These judgments include, but are not limited to, determination of whether a financial instrument or other contract meets the
definition of a derivative in accordance with SFAS No. 133, the accounting for a transfer of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 140, and the determination of asset impairment, including when such
impairment is other-than-temporary. For a more complete discussion of the accounting policies, see Note 1 to Alabama Nationals consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.



Results of Operations



Year ended December 31, 2004, compared with year ended December 31, 2003



Alabama Nationals net income increased by $13.6 million, or 33.1%, to
$54.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2004, from $41.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net income per diluted share increased to $3.39 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $3.17 recorded for the year ended
December 31, 2003. Return on average assets during 2004 was 1.13%, compared with 1.14% during 2003, and return on average equity was 12.15% during 2004, compared with 15.89% during 2003.



Net interest income increased $42.3 million, or 35.0%, to $163.3 million in 2004, from $121.0 million in 2003, as interest
income increased $50.6 million and interest expense increased $8.3 million. Acquisitions during 2004 accounted for $26.0 million of the increase in net interest income. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income is a decrease in the
interest rate paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. During 2004, Alabama National was able to continue to decrease the rates paid on deposits as time deposits that were originated in higher interest rate environments matured and
repriced at the current lower rates. As the Federal Reserve Bank started increasing rates during the later half of 2004, Alabama National was able to control the increase on rates paid on interest bearing transaction accounts and money market
accounts, thereby controlling deposit costs and increasing net interest income. Alabama National continues to experience strong growth in its earning assets. During 2004, average earning assets grew $1.09 billion, or 32.9%, to $4.40 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2004. Average loans and leases and average securities each had significant growth during 2004. Average loans and leases increased $764.7 million and average securities increased $310.4 million. The 2004 acquisitions
contributed $383.3 million and $259.9 million of the increase in average loans and leases and

##### Table of Contents

average securities for 2004, respectively. Alabama National continues to have strong organic growth in loans due to continued strength in many of the
economies in the markets served by Alabama National. In general, loans are Alabama Nationals highest yielding earning asset and management continues to emphasize steady loan growth. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $865.0
million, to $3.77 billion in 2004. Acquisitions during 2004 accounted for $526.9 million of this increase. Despite the 29.8% increase in average interest bearing liabilities, interest expense increased only $8.3 million, or 14.3%. All categories of
average interest-bearing liabilities increased during 2004, except for other short-term borrowings.



Alabama Nationals net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.49% and 3.71%, respectively, in 2004, compared to 3.44% and 3.65%,
respectively, in 2003. The net interest margin for 2004 was slightly higher than 2003 due in part to lower rates paid on time deposits. Many of the time deposits in Alabama Nationals portfolio originated in lower interest rate environments and
these deposits can only reprice at maturity. The average yield on loans and leases during 2004 was 21 basis points lower than 2003. The impact of the Federal Reserve rate increases in the latter half of 2004 was not able to entirely offset the lower
rates in the first half of 2004. SeeNet Interest Income.



Alabama National recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $4.9 million during 2004, compared to $5.9 million in 2003. Management believes that both loan loss experience and asset quality indicate that the
allowance for loan losses is maintained at an adequate level, although there can be no assurance that economic factors will not require future adjustments to the allowance. Alabama Nationals allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage
of period-end loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.33% at December 31, 2004, compared with 1.37% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end nonperforming assets was 484.14% at
December 31, 2004, compared with 347.68% at December 31, 2003. Alabama National experienced net charge-offs of $1.8 million in 2004, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.06%, compared with net charge-offs of $3.1
million in 2003, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.13%. SeeProvision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.



Noninterest income, including net securities gains and losses, decreased $5.5 million, or 7.0%, to $72.8 million in 2004,
compared with the record amount of $78.3 million in 2003. Total revenue for the investment services division decreased $7.1 million, or 37.7%, to $11.7 million in 2004, from $18.7 million in 2003. Total revenue earned from the mortgage division
decreased $4.7 million, or 29.0%, to $11.6 million in 2004, from $16.3 million in 2003. The securities brokerage and trust division experienced a revenue increase of $1.0 million, or 6.3%, to $16.9 million in 2004, from $15.9 million in 2003. The
commissions generated by the insurance division totaled $3.6 million in 2004, compared with $3.5 million recorded in 2003. The revenue recorded by the investment services division and the mortgage division during 2003 were record amounts for Alabama
National. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $3.0 million, or 21.5%, to $17.1 million in 2004, from $14.1 million in 2003. Earnings on bank owned life insurance totaled $2.7 million in 2004 and 2003, and other noninterest income
increased $2.2 million to $9.3 million in 2004. Noninterest expense increased $16.4 million, or 12.5%, to $148.3 million in 2004, compared with $131.9 million during 2003. For a detailed discussion of these income and expense categories, seeNoninterest Income and Expense.



Because
of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $28.1 million for 2004, compared to $20.4 million for 2003. The effective tax rate for 2004 was 34.0%, compared to 33.2% for 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 2004 is higher than 2003 due to higher pre-tax income without a corresponding increase in income items not subject to federal or state taxation.



Year ended December 31, 2003, compared with year ended December 31, 2002



Alabama Nationals net income increased by $5.3
million, or 15.0%, to $41.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, from $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Net income per diluted share

##### Table of Contents

increased to $3.17 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $2.81 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2002. Return on average assets during
2003 was 1.14%, compared with 1.18% during 2002, and return on average equity was 15.89% during 2003, compared with 16.01% during 2002.



Net interest income increased $8.1 million, or 7.2%, to $121.0 million in 2003, from $112.8 million in 2002, as interest income increased slightly by $0.5
million and interest expense decreased $7.6 million. The increase in net interest income is attributable to a decrease in the interest rate paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities and a $335.5 million increase in average loans to
$2.46 billion during 2003, from $2.12 billion in 2002. During 2003, Alabama National was able to continue to decrease the rates paid on deposits as time deposits originated in higher interest rate environments matured and repriced at the current
lower rates. Alabama National was able to absorb the effects of falling rates on its earning assets by continued robust growth in its earning assets, particularly loans. The increase in average loans is a result of continued strength in many of the
economies in the markets served by Alabama National. In general, loans are Alabama Nationals highest yielding earning asset and management continues to emphasize steady loan growth. During 2003, Alabama National also experienced substantial
growth in its securities portfolio. Average securities totaled $758.5 million in 2003, compared to $558.1 in 2002. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $471.2 million, to $2.91 billion in 2003. Despite the increase in average interest
bearing liabilities, interest expense decreased $7.6 million during 2003. All categories of average interest-bearing liabilities increased during 2003. The largest increase was in average time deposits. During 2003, the average balance of time
deposits increased $154.2 million, to $1.24 billion in 2003, compared to $1.09 billion in 2002. Interest-bearing transaction accounts also increased by $104.8 million during 2003.



Alabama Nationals net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.44% and 3.65%, respectively, in 2003, compared to
3.79% and 4.07%, respectively, in 2002. The net interest margin for 2003 was negatively impacted by Federal Reserve Bank rate reductions of 50 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2002 and also by the additional 25 basis point reduction during the
second quarter of 2003. Alabama National was able to immediately pass along much of the rate reductions to interest bearing transaction accounts, but time deposits can only reprice to current rates at maturity. In addition, the spread above
noninterest bearing deposits declines with any rate reduction because the cost of this liability category does not change but the yield on earning assets reduces with such a rate reduction. SeeNet Interest Income.

Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $20.4 million for 2003, compared to
$16.7 million for 2002. The effective tax rate for 2003 was 33.2%, compared to 31.9% for 2002. 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 2003 is
higher than 2002 due to higher pre-tax income without a corresponding increase in income items not subject to federal or state taxation.



Net Interest Income



The largest component of Alabama Nationals net income is its net interest incomethe difference between the income earned on assets and
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds used to support its assets. Net interest income is determined by the yield earned on Alabama Nationals earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, the relative amounts of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the maturity and repricing characteristics of its earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income divided by average earning assets represents Alabama Nationals net
interest margin.

##### Table of Contents

During 2004, Alabama National experienced an increase in net interest income of $42.3 million, or 35.0%,
to $163.3 million, compared with $121.0 million in 2003. Net interest income increased primarily due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and an increase in the volume of average earning assets outstanding. A majority of
the increase in average earning asset volume was due to the acquisitions during the year. The 2004 acquisitions contributed $26.0 million to net interest income and accounted for $655.5 million of the increase in average earning assets. In 2004 the
average taxable equivalent yield of earning assets was 5.24% compared with 5.42% for 2003. Despite the 18 basis point reduction, total interest income increased $50.6 million, or 28.3%, to $229.2 million in 2004. This increase is a result of an
increase in the volume of earning assets due to acquisitions and organic growth. The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 23 basis points to 1.75% in 2004. The average rate paid on time deposits had the most significant impact on the
decline in average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The average rate paid on time deposits decreased from 2.70% in 2003 to 2.33% in 2004. Alabama National continued to benefit from repricing of time deposits opened in higher interest rate
environments to current market rates. Alabama Nationals taxable equivalent net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 3.84%, which was slightly higher than the 3.81% recorded in the third quarter of 2004 and approximately 20 basis
points higher than the first and second quarters of 2004. Alabama National has benefited from the Federal Reserve Banks five separate fed funds rate increases beginning June 2004. Alabama Nationals variable rate loans have repriced at
the higher rates but deposit costs have not repriced as quickly.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income



The following table sets forth, on a taxable equivalent basis, the effect
which varying levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable rates had on changes in net interest income for 2004 and 2003. For purposes of this table, changes that are not solely attributable to volume or rate are
allocated to volume and rate on a pro rata basis.

Interest Sensitivity and Market
Risk



Interest 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 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 Alabama National competes. Using this projected behavior and differing rate scenarios as inputs, the simulation analysis generates as output projections 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.

##### Table of Contents

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 or trading securities, 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 rate 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 December 31, 2004, assuming the relevant assets and liabilities are
collected and paid, respectively, based upon historical experience rather than their stated maturities.

##### Table of Contents

Alabama National generally benefits from increasing market rates of interest when it has an
asset-sensitive gap (a positive number) and generally benefits from decreasing market interest rates when it is liability sensitive (a negative number). As shown in the table above, Alabama National is asset sensitive on a cumulative basis
throughout the one year time frame, although it is slightly liability sensitive during one through three months and the three through twelve month periods. Alabama National is also asset sensitive during the one through three year time frame and
liability sensitive in the greater than three years period, although it remains asset sensitive on a cumulative basis throughout all periods. The current asset sensitive position is similar to the 2003 year-end interest sensitivity analysis. 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 impacted by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

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 interest 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 prior to maturity. These prepayment options make
anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in prevailing interest rates. At December 31, 2004, mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $864.4 million, or 16.3% of total assets and essentially every loan and
lease, net of unearned income, (totaling $3.50 billion, or 65.8% 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
$3.93 billion, or 74.0%, of total assets at December 31, 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 reduce, 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. Since interest rates have remained relatively low, Alabama National has elected to model interest rate decreases of 50 and 100 basis points. As of year-end 2003,
management did not prepare a scenario that decreased current rates by 100 basis points so the comparable scenario is not available for 2003. As 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.

Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses



Alabama National has policies and procedures for evaluating the overall credit quality of its loan and lease portfolio
including timely identification of potential problem credits. On a monthly basis, management reviews the appropriate level for the allowance for loan and lease losses. This review and analysis is based on the results of the internal monitoring and
reporting system, analysis of economic conditions in its markets and a review of historical statistical data, current trends regarding the volume and severity of past due and problem loans and leases, the existence and effect of concentrations of
credit, and changes in national and local economic conditions for both Alabama National and other financial institutions. Management also considers in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses the results of
regulatory examinations conducted for each Bank, including evaluation of Alabama Nationals policies and procedures and findings from Alabama Nationals independent loan review department.



The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $1.0 million, or 16.6%,
to $4.9 million in 2003, from $5.9 million in 2003. The decreased provision expense during 2004 is attributable to a reduction in net charge-offs during 2004 and also a reduction in total nonperforming assets and potential problem loans. During
2004, net charge-offs decreased $1.2 million, or 40.1% to $1.8 million, compared to $3.1 million in 2003. As of December 31, 2004, nonperforming assets totaled $9.6 million, a $0.9 million decrease from year-end 2003 levels.



Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan and lease losses is based on Alabama Nationals past loan and lease loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and an analysis of current economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses, at its current level, adequately covers Alabama Nationals exposure to loan and lease losses. While management believes
that it has established the allowance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment, there can be no assurance
that in the future Alabama Nationals regulators or its economic environment will not require further increases in the allowance.



A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Alabama National will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loans observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. When the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a specific reserve allocation which
is a component of the allowance for loan and lease losses.



Additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses, which are expensed as the provision for loan and lease losses on Alabama Nationals income statement, are made periodically to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at an
appropriate level as determined by management. Loan and lease losses and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance for loan and lease losses.

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 collection of interest is doubtful. In addition to consideration of these factors, Alabama National has a consistent and continuing policy of placing all loans on nonaccrual status if they become
90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest which 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
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. During the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, approximately $489,000, $474,000 and $540,000, respectively, in additional
interest income would have been recognized in earnings if Alabama Nationals nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms.



Total nonperforming assets decreased $0.9 million, to $9.6 million at December 3l, 2004, from $10.5 million at December 31, 2003. Other real estate owned
increased $0.8 million to $1.5 million at December 31, 2004. Included in the year-end 2004 other real estate balance is a former bank branch which is for sale and has a carrying value of $0.8 million. The allowance for loan and lease losses to
period-end nonperforming loans was 575.75% at December 31, 2004, compared with 372.44% at December 31, 2003. This ratio will generally fluctuate from period to period depending upon nonperforming loan levels at period end.



Potential Problem Loans



A potential problem loan is one that management has concerns as to the
borrowers future performance under terms of the loan contract. These loans are current as to principal and interest, and accordingly, they are not included in the nonperforming asset categories. Management monitors these loans closely in order
to ensure that Alabama Nationals interests are protected. At December 31, 2004, Alabama National had certain loans considered by management to be potential problem loans totaling $30.8 million, as compared with $46.4 million at December 31,
2003. Alabama National believes early identification of potential problem loans is an important factor in its ability to successfully collect such loans. As such, it encourages early identification of potential problem loans both with its loan
officers and loan review staff. The level of potential problem loans is factored into the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.



Noninterest Income and Expense



Noninterest income



Alabama National relies on five distinct product lines for the production of recurring noninterest income: (1) traditional retail and commercial banking,
(2) mortgage banking, (3) securities brokerage and trust services, (4) investment services, and (5) insurance services. Combined revenue associated with Alabama Nationals five product lines totaled $72.8 million in 2004, compared with $78.3
million in 2003, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 7.0%. An analysis of this decrease is provided below.



The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of noninterest income.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $3.0 million to $17.1 million during 2004, a 21.5% increase
over 2003s total of $14.1 million. The increase for 2004 is attributable primarily to the 2004 acquisitions, which account for $2.5 million of this increase. Other noninterest income increased $3.0 million to $9.3 million during 2004, a 48.2%
increase over 2003s total of $6.3 million. The 2004 acquisitions increased this balance by $0.8 million. Also contributing to the increase in other noninterest income is increased revenue from merchant credit card activity, ATM card revenue
and debit card income. The other components of noninterest income will be discussed in more detail in Segment Information.

Noninterest expense
increased $16.4 million, or 12.5%, to $148.3 million in 2004, from $131.9 million in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.2 million, or 15.7%, in 2004. The 2004 amount includes the salaries and employee benefit expense of the 2004
acquisitions, which totaled $8.4 million. Also contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits were general staffing increases concurrent with expansion of offices and business lines, increases in health insurance costs, and merit
salary increases. Commission based compensation decreased $4.7 million, or 21.1%, in 2004. The decrease in commission based compensation during 2004 is attributable to decreased production in the commission based businesses. Net occupancy expense
increased $2.6 million, or 20.2%, in 2004. The 2004 acquisitions contributed $2.0 million of additional occupancy expense for 2004. The amortization of intangibles for 2004 increased $2.0 million to $3.0 million due to the amortization of core
deposit intangibles recorded in the 2004 acquisitions and a full year for the 2003 acquisition. Legal and professional fees increased $1.5 million, or 41.4%, to $5.2 million in 2004, due primarily to increased internal and external accounting fees
associated with the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Segment Information



In addition to traditional commercial and consumer retail banking products, Alabama National offers investment services, securities brokerage and
trust services, mortgage lending services and insurance services to its customers. Please refer to Note 19 to Alabama Nationals consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for disclosures related to Alabama Nationals
operating segments. The results of the operating segments include certain income and expense items that are allocated by management to the operating segments. Further, the results of each operating segment are not necessarily the same as would be
expected if these activities were conducted by a stand-alone entity because certain corporate overhead expenses are not allocated directly to each operating segment.

First American Bank
operates an investment department devoted primarily to handling correspondent banks investment needs. Investment services revenue consists primarily of commission income from the sale of fixed income securities to correspondent banks. A small
portion of investment services revenue is generated from fee based services including asset/liability consulting, bond accounting and security safekeeping. Investment services revenue decreased substantially to $11.7 million during 2004, from $18.7
million in 2003. The revenue recorded by the investment division during 2003 represents the highest revenue ever recorded 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 during 2003 was high due to increased liquidity of community banks resulting from decreased loan demand and increased cash flow from their existing
securities portfolio. During 2004 the cash flow from the securities portfolio of correspondent banks slowed which negatively impacted the revenue for the investment services division.



Revenue from the investment division is subject to fluctuation caused by a number of factors, including perhaps most
prominently the interest rate environment. The interest rate environment for this division was extremely favorable during 2003. The revenue production for 2004 was significantly lower than 2003 but similar to revenue production of prior years.



In the fourth quarter of 2004 a group of salespeople and
support staff resigned and relocated to a competing bank. The group that left represented approximately 68% of the revenue of the investment division for the first nine months of 2004. Alabama National moved to retain the remaining salespeople and
support staff and to hire additional experienced fixed income salespeople. Despite the added salespeople, the revenue production levels of the current sales group is expected to be lower than it otherwise would have been absent the departure of the
former salespeople.

First American Bank
has a wholly owned subsidiary, NBC Securities, Inc. (NBC Securities), that is a full service licensed broker-dealer. The trust department of First American Bank and NBC Securities manage the assets of both corporate and individual customers located
primarily in the markets served by Alabama National. The revenue generated by this division consists primarily of commission income generated from the sale of equity securities and other investment products to individual and corporate customers,
from fees paid for assets under management or custody and from fees related to investment consulting work performed for clients. NBC Securities also recognizes interest income from margin loans. Revenue for this division increased $1.0 million, or
6.3%, to $16.9 million in 2004. Revenue for this division increased $2.3 million, or 16.8%, to $15.9 million in 2003. The increase in revenue during both 2004 and 2003 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. Asset management fees recorded by the trust department of NBC (now First American Bank) and NBC Securities also increased
during 2004 as a result of an increase in the total assets managed by these divisions. The interest income from margin loans has remained relatively flat during the last three years, consistent with the securities industry in general. The additional
registered representatives and new offices opened and variable overhead, combined with higher commission expense on the higher revenue base, led to an increase in the expenses and allocated charges for this division in 2004.

Fees earned in connection with the origination
and resale of mortgages decreased $4.7 million, or 27.3%, to $12.4 million in 2004, from $17.1 million in 2003. During 2003, fees earned in connection with the origination and resale of mortgages increased $5.7 million, or 50.5%, to $17.1 million,
from $11.3 million in 2002. The revenue recorded by the mortgage division in 2003 was a record amount due to the historically low interest rate environment and its effect on mortgage origination and refinancing activity. Expenses and allocated
charges totaled $9.2 million, compared to $10.9 million during 2003. The decrease is due to a lower level of mortgage revenue and its impact on compensation and other expenses. In addition, mortgage lending divisions of recently acquired banks did
not operate as efficiently as Alabama Nationals pre-existing mortgage divisions in 2004, with higher expenses relative to revenues. Interest income was down $1.4 million to $1.1 million during 2004, also due to the overall reduction in the
volume of mortgage originations.



Revenue from the mortgage
lending division is subject to fluctuation caused by a number of factors, including perhaps most prominently the interest rate environment. The environment for this division was extremely favorable during 2003. During 2004 mortgage activity from
refinancing slowed considerably, but Alabama National continues to expand and grow mortgage origination activity in the markets served by the Company.

Earning Assets



Loans and Leases



Loans and leases are the largest category of earning assets and typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets. Associated with
the higher loan yields are the inherent credit and liquidity risks which management attempts to control and counterbalance. Total loans and leases averaged $3.22 billion in 2004, compared to $2.46 billion in 2003, an increase of $764.7 million, or
31.1%. At December 31, 2004, total loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $3.50 billion, compared to $2.66 billion at the end of 2003, an increase of $836.3 million, or 31.4%. Excluding the loans acquired in the 2004 acquisitions, average
loans and leases increased $381.5 million, or 15.5%, and end of period year over year organic loan growth for 2004 was $337.0 million, or 12.7%.



The growth in Alabama Nationals loan and lease portfolio is attributable to Alabama Nationals ability to attract new customers while
maintaining consistent underwriting standards. Loan growth is also impacted by general economic conditions that may result in increased loan demand from existing customers. The following table details the composition of the loan portfolio by
category at the dates indicated.

In the context of this discussion, a real estate mortgage loan is defined as any loan, other than loans for construction purposes, secured by
real estate, regardless of the purpose of the loan. It is common practice for financial institutions in Alabama Nationals market areas, and for Alabama National in particular, to obtain a security interest or lien in real estate whenever
possible, in addition to any other available collateral. This collateral is taken to reinforce the likelihood of the ultimate repayment of the loan and tends to increase the magnitude of the real estate loan portfolio component. In general, Alabama
National prefers real estate collateral to many other potential collateral sources, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

##### Table of Contents

The principal component of Alabama Nationals loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At
year-end 2004, this category totaled $2.02 billion and represented 57.7% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $1.50 billion, or 56.4% of the total loan portfolio at year-end 2003.



Residential mortgage loans increased $286.4 million, or 42.3%, to $963.1 million at December 31, 2004, compared with $676.7
million at December 31, 2003. Commercial mortgage loans increased $231.7 million, or 28.4%, to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2004. Increases in both of these categories of loans are primarily the result of Alabama Nationals 2004 acquisitions.
Organic loan growth for 2004 for residential mortgage loans totaled $140.1 million, or 20.2%, and organic loan growth for commercial mortgage loans totaled $65.8 million, or 8.1%.



Real estate construction loans increased $246.6 million, or 46.5%, to $776.6 million at December 31, 2004, compared with
$530.0 million at December 31, 2003. Alabama Nationals focus on the home construction market, as well as strong commercial construction activity in markets it serves, led to $118.7 million of this increase, and the remainder is attributable to
the 2004 acquisitions.



The slight increase in consumer loans
was due to the 2004 acquisitions. Lease financing receivables and margin loan balances experienced a slight decrease from 2003 year-end totals.



The repayment of loans is a source of additional liquidity for Alabama National. The following table sets forth Alabama Nationals loans maturing
within specific intervals at December 31, 2004.

The information
presented in the above table is based upon the contractual maturities of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as
modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, management believes this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio.



Securities



Securities, including securities classified as held to maturity (or investment securities) and available for sale, represent a significant portion of
Alabama Nationals earning assets. Securities averaged $1.10 billion during 2004, compared with $791.6 million during 2003, an increase of $310.4 million, or 39.2%. The 2004 acquisitions accounted for $259.9 million of this increase. Growth in
the securities portfolio is generally a function of growth in funding sources net of lending opportunities, and during 2004 most of the earning asset growth of Alabama National was in loans and leases and the securities portfolio remained relatively
flat, excluding the 2004 acquisitions. Management attempts to maintain earning asset growth commensurate with its funding growth and with its overall growth plans. At December 31, 2004, the securities portfolio totaled $1.20 billion, including
securities held to maturity with an amortized cost of $568.5 million and securities available for sale with a market value of $631.9 million.

At December 31, 2004, mortgage-backed securities, consisting of collateralized mortgage obligations and pass-through
mortgage obligations, had a carrying value totaling $864.4 million. These mortgage-backed securities include $528.7 million classified as investment securities and $335.6 million classified as securities available for sale. Management expects the
annual repayment of the underlying mortgages to vary as a result of monthly repayment of principal and/or interest required under terms of the underlying promissory notes. Further, the actual rate of repayment is subject to changes depending upon
the terms of the underlying mortgages, the relative level of mortgage interest rates, and the structure of the securities. When relative interest rates decline to levels below that of the underlying mortgages, acceleration of principal repayment is
expected as some borrowers on the underlying mortgages refinance to lower rates. When the underlying rates on mortgage loans are comparable to, or in excess of, market rates, repayment more closely conforms to scheduled amortization in accordance
with terms of the promissory note with additional repayment as a result of sales of homes collateralizing the mortgage loans constituting the security. Accordingly, management generally expects repayment of the collateralized mortgage obligations
over a one to five year period, and repayment of the pass-through mortgage obligations also over a one to five year period.



Other attributes of securities are discussed in Interest Sensitivity and Market Risk.



Short-Term Investments



Alabama National utilizes overnight investment of funds in federal funds
sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell to ensure that adequate liquidity will be maintained, while at the same time minimizing the level of uninvested cash reserves. Short-term investments are also utilized by Alabama National when
the level of funds committed to lending and investment portfolio programs changes or the level of deposit generation changes. During 2004, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $68.7 million, compared to
$49.3 million during 2003, representing an increase of $19.3 million.



Trading Account Securities



An important
aspect of investment department operations, but less so to Alabama National overall, are trading account securities, which represent securities owned by Alabama National prior to sale and delivery to Alabama Nationals customers. Trading
account securities averaged approximately $1.2 million and $2.5 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. This small dollar amount reflects managements policy of limiting positions in such securities to reduce its exposure to market and interest
rate changes.

##### Table of Contents

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities



Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $865.0 million, or 29.8%, to $3.77 billion in 2004, from $2.91 billion in
2003. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $706.4 million, or 31.8%, to $2.93 billion in 2004, from $2.22 billion in 2003. The 2004 acquisitions contributed $526.9 million and $452.1 million to the increase in average interest bearing
liabilities and average interest bearing deposits, respectively. The remaining increase is attributable to competitive rate and product offerings by Alabama National, successful marketing efforts and growth in many of Alabama Nationals
markets. Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $85.2 million, or 26.8%, to $403.0 million in 2004, from $317.8 million in 2003, due in part to additional liquidity provided by downstream
correspondent banks. Average short-term borrowings decreased by $27.6 million, or 34.2%, to $53.0 million in 2004, compared to $80.6 million in 2003. Average long-term borrowings increased $101.0 million, or 35.4%, to $386.5 million in 2004, from
$285.5 million in 2003. The increase in the long-term average debt outstanding is due to utilizing more borrowing programs offered to Alabama Nationals Federal Home Loan Bank member subsidiaries. The 2004 acquisitions accounted for $38.0
million of the increase in average long-term borrowings.



Deposits



Average total deposits increased
$887.2 million, or 34.1%, to $3.49 billion during 2004, from $2.61 billion during 2003. At December 31, 2004, total deposits were $3.93 billion, compared with $2.75 billion at December 31, 2003. The 2004 acquisitions accounted for $563.5 million of
the increase in average deposits and $815.4 million of the increase in year-end 2004 deposit growth.

Core deposits, which
exclude time deposits of $100,000 or more, provide for a relatively stable funding source that supports earning assets. Alabama Nationals core deposits totaled $3.14 billion, or 79.9%, of total deposits at December 31, 2004, and totaled $2.07
billion, or 75.3%, of total deposits at December 31, 2003.

##### Table of Contents

Deposits, in particular core deposits, have historically been Alabama Nationals primary source of
funding and have enabled Alabama National to meet successfully both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that such deposits will continue to be Alabama Nationals primary source of funding in the future, although
economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source. Alabama Nationals loan-to-deposit ratio was 88.8% at December 31, 2004, and 96.6% at the end of 2003, and the ratio averaged 92.3% during 2004 and 94.4% during 2003. The
maturity distribution of Alabama Nationals time deposits in excess of $100,000 at December 31, 2004, is shown in the following table.

Approximately 30.3% of
Alabama Nationals time deposits over $100,000 had scheduled maturities within three months. Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for
liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. Alabama National had $175.2 million in large certificates of deposit obtained through brokers outstanding at December 31, 2004, compared to $155.9 million at December 31, 2003. Alabama Nationals
use of brokered time deposits fluctuates depending upon funding needs and the pricing and maturity structure of available brokered deposits versus other funding sources, including in-market time deposits.



Borrowed Funds



Borrowed funds include five broad categories; (1) Federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, (2) treasury, tax and loan balances, (3) Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, (4) borrowings from a third party bank, and (5) junior subordinated debentures. Because of a
relatively high loan-to-deposit ratio, the existence and stability of these funding sources are critical to Alabama Nationals maintenance of short-term and long-term liquidity.



Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent both an input of excess funds from
correspondent bank customers of Alabama National as well as a cash management tool offered to corporate customers. At December 31, 2004, these funds totaled $379.1 million, compared with $358.4 million at December 31, 2003. This balance will vary
greatly depending on the liquidity of the downstream correspondent banks of Alabama National and the excess cash of its corporate customers.



At December 31, 2004, treasury, tax and loan balances totaled $2.2 million, compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2003. Alabama National collects tax
deposits from customers and is permitted to retain these balances until established collateral limits are exceeded or until the U.S. Treasury withdraws its balances.



Alabama Nationals average borrowing from a third party bank under a $30 million credit facility (the Credit
Facility) was $3.6 million during 2004, compared with $13.2 million during 2003. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $0.5 million, leaving a remaining availability under

the Credit Facility of $29.5 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that varies with LIBOR and is secured by a pledge of stock in the Banks.
The Credit Facility is typically renewed on an annual basis and has a current maturity date of May 31, 2005. Alabama National has historically renewed the Credit Facility prior to its due date and anticipates doing so again in 2005.



All of the Banks are members of the FHLB of Atlanta. At December 31, 2004,
the Banks had available FHLB lines of $1.44 billion, under which $370.1 million was outstanding, including advances classified as short-term of $30.0 million and advances classified as long-term of $340.1 million. This compares to borrowings of
$325.5 million at December 31, 2003, of which $39.5 million was short-term and $286.0 million was long-term.



Alabama National through three separate trust subsidiaries has issued Floating Rate Capital Securities, commonly known as trust preferred securities, in
the aggregate principal amount of $46.4 million. Due to the adoption of Financial Interpretation No. 46, the trusts created to issue the trust preferred securities must be deconsolidated and accordingly the debt is classified as junior subordinated
debentures. The debentures pay distributions at a rate that varies with LIBOR. They are classified as long-term debt for the financial statements but are included as capital for regulatory purposes. In addition to these junior subordinated
debentures, Alabama National assumed $7.2 million in junior subordinated debentures in connection with its acquisition of Indian River Banking Company in 2004.

During the 2004 third
quarter, Alabama National completed an underwritten public offering of 977,500 shares of common stock (including 127,500 shares issued pursuant 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 the subsidiary Banks. In addition, a portion of the net proceeds was retained for
general corporate liquidity needs at the holding company.



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 I capital. Tier I capital consists of common
stockholders equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. In addition, under the guidelines, Alabama National and the Banks must maintain a minimum Tier I
leverage ratio of Tier I capital to total assets of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is typically increased by 100 to 200 basis points for other than the highest rated institutions.



Alabama National exceeded its fully phased-in regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, as set forth in
the following table.

In addition to meeting the minimum regulatory ratios, the regulatory ratios of Alabama Nationals subsidiary Banks
exceeded the ratios required for well-capitalized banks as defined by federal banking regulators. To be categorized as well-capitalized, Alabama Nationals subsidiary Banks must maintain Total Qualifying Capital, Tier I Capital and leverage
ratios of at least 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively.



Liquidity Management



Liquidity management
involves monitoring Alabama Nationals sources and uses of funds in order to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity represents the ability of an entity to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents
without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities.



Without proper liquidity management, Alabama National will not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.



Increased liquidity in typical interest rate environments
often involves decreasing profits by investing in earning assets with shorter maturities. Liquidity management is made more complex because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the
timing of maturities of certain securities within the investment portfolio is very predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and
are not subject to nearly the same degree of control.



Assets
included in Alabama Nationals Consolidated Statements of Condition contribute to liquidity management. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, Alabama Nationals primary source of immediate liquidity,
averaged $68.7 million during 2004 and were $101.0 million at December 31, 2004, and averaged $49.3 million during 2003 and were $16.5 million at December 31, 2003. If required in

short-term liquidity management, these assets could be converted to cash immediately. Cash received from the repayment of investment securities and loans
provides a repetitive source of cash that contributes to liquidity management. Unpledged securities, with a carrying value of approximately $539.9 million at December 31, 2004, provide Alabama National an opportunity to generate cash by, 1)
providing additional collateral by selling securities under agreements to repurchase, 2) providing collateral to obtain public funds or 3) providing collateral to borrow directly from the Federal Reserve Bank or the Federal Home Loan Bank. See
Earning AssetsLoans and Earning AssetsSecurities.



Liquidity can also be managed using liabilities included in Alabama Nationals Consolidated Statement of Conditions, such as federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings. Combined federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, treasury, tax and loan, note payable, and short-term advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank averaged $456.0 million during 2004 and were $411.8 million at December 31, 2004, and averaged $398.4 million during 2003 and were $401.0 million at December 31, 2003. Overnight borrowing lines with upstream correspondent banks, totaling
$199.8 million at December 31, 2004, of which $199.7 million was unused, provide additional sources of liquidity to Alabama National on an unsecured basis. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides secured credit lines to all of Alabama Nationals
Banks totaling approximately $1.1 billion as of year-end 2004. At December 31, 2004, advances under these lines totaled $370.1 million, including $30.0 million classified as short-term and $340.1 million classified as long-term. Long-term liquidity
needs are met through Alabama Nationals deposit base (approximately 79.9% of Alabama Nationals deposits at December 31, 2004, are considered core deposits), and the repayment of loans and other investments as they mature. Alabama
National is able to manage its long-term liquidity needs by adjusting the rates it pays on longer-term deposits, long-term borrowings and the amount and mix of longer-term investments in its portfolio.



One of the Banks, NBC, pledged approximately $55.9 million in loans to the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta as collateral for a discount window credit facility, which management views as a backup liquidity facility. This discount window facility was assumed by First American Bank as a result of the First American Bank and
NBC merger in February 2005. At December 31, 2004, NBC had access to approximately $44.7 million under this facility, with no outstanding borrowings.



Alabama National, as a stand-alone corporation, has more limited access to liquidity sources than its Banks and depends on dividends from its subsidiaries
as its primary source of liquidity. Alabama Nationals liquidity is diminished by required payments on its outstanding short-term debt and junior subordinated debentures. The ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends is subject to general
regulatory restrictions, which may, but are not expected to, have a material negative impact on the liquidity available to Alabama National. (See Note 18 to the Alabama Nationals Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report
beginning at page F-1). If circumstances warrant, Alabama Nationals short-term liquidity needs can also be met by additional borrowings of approximately $29.5 million representing the unused portion of Alabama Nationals credit facility
with an unrelated bank. SeeDeposits and Other InterestBearing Liabilities Borrowed Funds.



Contractual Obligations



Alabama National has contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Long-term debt, capital leases and junior subordinated
debentures are reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition, whereas, operating lease obligations for office space and equipment are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Alabama National has no
unconditional purchase obligations or other long-term obligations other than as included in the following table. These types of obligations are more fully discussed in Notes 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual
Report beginning on page F-1. Total contractual obligations of Alabama National as of December 31, 2004, are as follows.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements



Alabama Nationals significant
off-balance sheet arrangements are primarily certain investments in low-income housing projects throughout its geographic area. Alabama National enters into such arrangements as a means of supporting local communities and recognizes tax credits
relating to its investments. At December 31, 2004, Alabama Nationals investments in such projects totaled $1.4 million. Alabama National acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial
policies of the partnerships. Construction and permanent financing for these entities was obtained from independent third parties.



Alabama National has no remaining commitment to fund low income housing investments at December 31, 2004. Alabama Nationals risk exposure relating
to these entities is generally limited to the amount invested.



In the normal course of business, the Company is also a party to financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk. Such financial instruments include commitments to extend credit
and certain contractual agreements, including standby letters of credit and financial guarantee arrangements. See additional discussion of lending related commitments at Credit Extension Commitments above.

Accounting Pronouncements



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. FIN 46 states that if a business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated
financial statements of the business enterprise. This Interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. FIN 46
also requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks
will not be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. Due to significant implementation concerns, the FASB modified the wording of FIN 46 and
issued FIN 46R in December 2003. FIN 46R deferred the effective date for the provisions of FIN 46 to entities other than Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) until financial statements are issued for periods ending after March 15, 2004. SPEs
are subject to the provisions of either FIN 46 or FIN 46R as of December 15, 2003. Management has evaluated the Companys investment in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in limited
liability partnerships involved in low-income housing development (LIHTC) and trust preferred securities structures because these entities or transactions constitute Alabama Nationals primary FIN 46 and FIN 46R exposure. Management determined
that Alabama National is not the primary beneficiary of the LIHTC investments and accordingly the partnerships were not consolidated. Alabama Nationals interest in these partnerships as of December 31, 2004 totaled $1,434,000.



During 2003, Alabama National also analyzed the impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46R
on certain trusts of Alabama National and determined that certain trusts created by the Company to issue trust preferred securities would require deconsolidation due to the provisions of FIN 46 and FIN 46R. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2003
Alabama National deconsolidated these trusts. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in Tier I capital
for regulatory capital purposes until further notice. The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary, provide further appropriate guidance. However, there can be no assurance
that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory purposes.



Other than the impact described above from the deconsolidation of the trust preferred securities, the adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a
material impact on Alabama Nationals consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Interpretive guidance relating to FIN 46 and FIN 46R is continuing to evolve and Alabama Nationals management will continue to
assess various aspects of consolidations and variable interest entity accounting as additional guidance becomes available.



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. The Company 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.



On December 15, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments.SFAS 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement establishes the fair value method for measurement and requires all entities to apply this fair value method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The provisions of
the SFAS 123R are effective for all share-based awards granted after July 1, 2005 and to share-based awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the financial
condition or result of operations of Alabama National, as it adopted the expensing provisions of FAS 123 in its initial adoption of FAS 123.



Impact of Inflation



Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as Alabama National and its subsidiaries are primarily
monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on Alabama Nationals performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Management seeks to manage the relationships between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations,
including those resulting from inflation. See Interest Sensitivity and Market Risk.

Industry Developments



Certain recently enacted and proposed legislation could have an effect on both the costs of doing business and the competitive factors facing the
financial institutions industry. Alabama National is unable at this time to assess the impact of this legislation on its financial condition or results of operations.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



As of December 31, 2004, the end of the period covered by this report,
Alabama National carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Alabama
Nationals disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Alabama Nationals
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in Alabama Nationals periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified.



There were no significant changes
in Alabama Nationals internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Alabama Nationals internal control over financial
reporting.



Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting



Management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Alabama Nationals internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Alabama Nationals internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Alabama National;



(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Alabama National; and



(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Alabama Nationals assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



Management assessed the effectiveness of Alabama
Nationals internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework.



Based on our assessment and
those criteria, management has concluded that Alabama National maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Alabama National BanCorporation:



We have completed an integrated audit of Alabama National BanCorporations 2004
consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.



Consolidated financial statements



In
our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Alabama National BanCorporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



Internal control over financial reporting



Also, in our opinion, managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting which
appears under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.



An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements
assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.



A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii) provide reasonable

assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

|1. |  | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



Alabama National BanCorporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) provides a full range of banking and bank-related services to individual and corporate
customers through its thirteen subsidiary banks located in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.



Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accounting and reporting policies of the
Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general financial services industry practices. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the statement of condition dates and revenues and expenses for the periods
shown. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, valuation of goodwill, other
intangible assets and related impairment analyses, benefit plan obligations and expenses and income tax assets and liabilities.



Cash and Cash Equivalents

For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and due from banks.



Securities

Investment securities are
stated at amortized cost as a result of managements ability and intent to hold the securities until maturity. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method.



Securities available for sale are those securities intended to be held for an
indefinite period of time. The Company may sell these securities as part of its asset/liability strategy in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, or similar factors. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair
value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale are carried as a separate component of stockholders equity, net of taxes.



Trading securities, principally obligations of U.S. government agencies, are securities held for sale and are stated at fair
value. Bond purchases and sales are recorded on the trade date. Accounts receivable from and accounts payable to bond customers represent security transactions entered into for which the securities have not been delivered as of the statement of
condition dates. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as trading are reported in earnings during the period in which they occur.



Gains and losses on the sale of securities are computed using the specific identification method.



Loans and Leases

Interest income with respect to loans is recognized when earned. Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income,
charge-offs, and unamortized deferred fees and costs. Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recognized as adjustments to income over the life of the related loans. Unearned income is amortized to income using the interest method.

The Company provides equipment financing to its customers through a variety of lease arrangements.
Leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments to be received plus estimated residual value of the leased property, less unearned income.



A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loans observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. When the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a specific reserve allocation which
is a component of the allowance for loan and lease losses.



Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and
lease losses charged to expense. Loans and leases are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses when management believes the collection of principal is unlikely. The allowance is managements estimate of probable inherent losses
on existing loans and leases, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific loans and leases, and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers ability to pay. 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. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest which is accrued on the loan is reversed and deducted from
earnings as a reduction of reported interest. Payments received on such loans are applied first to principal until the recoverability of the obligation is assured. Any remaining payments are then allocated as additional reductions of principal and
interest income.



Property, Equipment, and Leasehold
Improvements

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation is principally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
improvements or the terms of the related leases. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.



Other Real Estate

Other real estate, which primarily consists of property acquired by foreclosure,
is initially recorded at the fair value less estimated selling costs. Other real estate is not depreciated. Subsequent to foreclosure, the assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Losses,
representing the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the property, are recorded on the date of the sale, while gains on sales financed by the Company are deferred until the initial and continuing investment by the borrower
equals or exceeds specified levels. Gains on all other sales are recorded when realized. Other real estate at December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $1,531,000 and $699,000, respectively.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets relate to core deposits and insurance customer lists. Other intangibles are amortized over a period based on the expected life of
the intangible, generally five to ten years, using either the straight-line or accelerated methods of amortization.



Goodwill

Pursuant to Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 the Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. There has been no impairment resulting from impairment tests.



Software Costs

Software costs, which primarily represent costs to acquire third party software packages, have a recorded cost of approximately $6,719,000 and $5,788,000
and related accumulated amortization of approximately $4,835,000 and $3,818,000, and are included in other assets at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software costs totaled approximately $564,000,
$504,000 and $421,000 during 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.



Income Taxes

There are two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects cash
to be paid for taxes for the applicable period. Deferred income taxes are recognized due to temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Recognition of deferred tax assets is based
on managements belief that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit associated with certain temporary differences, tax operating loss carryforwards and tax credits will be realized. A valuation allowance is recorded for the amount of
the deferred tax items for which it is more likely than not that realization will not occur.



Stock-Based Employee Compensation

The Company uses a fair value-based method of accounting for
compensation costs. Compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation arrangements is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the related service period. The Company has fully adopted and implemented
the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and has recorded compensation costs in accordance with these provisions. As such, there are no additional pro forma expenses or disclosure
requirements. As discussed further under Recently Issued Accounting Standards, the issuance of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosures,did not have an impact on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.



Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the costs of advertising when those costs are incurred.



Collateral Requirements

The Company requires collateral for certain transactions with retail and commercial customers. Specifically, margin loans made for the purpose of
borrowing against marketable investment securities generally do not exceed 50% of the total market value of a customers marginable securities portfolio at the time of the transaction and no more than 70% at anytime thereafter. Repurchase
agreements, limited to commercial customers and correspondent banks, generally do not exceed the market value of securities used to secure such transactions at the time of the transaction or thereafter. Federal funds sold are made to correspondent
banks on an unsecured basis and generally do not exceed limits established for each bank resulting from evaluation of the banks financial position.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the 2004 presentation.



Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 states that if a
business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the business
enterprise. This Interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. FIN 46 also requires existing unconsolidated
variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks will not be consolidated unless a
single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. Due to significant implementation concerns, the FASB modified the wording of FIN 46 and issued FIN 46R in December 2003. FIN
46R deferred the effective date for the provisions of FIN 46 to entities other than Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) until financial statements are issued for periods ending after March 15, 2004. SPEs are subject to the provisions of
either FIN 46 or FIN 46R as of December 15, 2003. Management has evaluated the Companys investment in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in limited liability partnerships involved
in low-income housing development (LIHTC) and trust preferred securities structures because these entities or transactions constitute the Companys primary FIN 46 and FIN 46R exposure. Management determined that the Company is not the primary
beneficiary of the LIHTC investments and accordingly the partnerships were not consolidated. The Companys interest in these partnerships as of December 31, 2004 was $1,434,000.



During 2003, the Company also analyzed the impact of FIN 46 and FIN 46R on certain trusts of the Company and determined that
certain trusts created by the Company to issue trust preferred securities would require deconsolidation due to the provisions of FIN 46 and FIN 46R. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2003 the Company deconsolidated these trusts. In July 2003, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes until further notice. The Federal
Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary, provide further appropriate guidance. However, there can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to
include trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory purposes.



Other than the impact described above from the deconsolidation of the trust preferred securities, the adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position
or consolidated results of operations. Interpretive guidance relating to FIN 46 and FIN 46R is continuing to evolve and the Companys management will continue to assess various aspects of consolidations and variable interest entity accounting
as additional guidance becomes available.



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. The Company 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.



On December 15, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments. SFAS 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement establishes the fair value method for measurement and requires all entities to apply this fair value method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The provisions of
the SFAS 123R are effective for all share-based awards granted after July 1, 2005 and to share-based awards modified, repurchased, or

cancelled after that date. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the financial condition or result of operations of Alabama
National, as it adopted the expensing provisions of FAS 123 in its initial adoption of FAS 123.

The acquisitions of Coquina, Indian River, Cypress and Millennium resulted in the recognition of
$22,899,000, $79,990,000, $19,332,000 and $19,234,000 of intangible assets, respectively. The Company allocated $1,006,000, $7,542,000, $1,644,000 and $968,000 of the total intangible to core deposits, respectively. This allocation was based on the
Companys valuation of the core deposits of Coquina, Indian River, Cypress and Millennium. Among the factors considered 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 the acquired relationship. 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 unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The 2003 results have been adjusted as if the Coquina, Indian River, Cypress and Millennium acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 2003. The 2004 results have been adjusted as if the Coquina, Indian River and Cypress acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2004. There is no adjustment needed for Millennium in 2004 since the acquisition occurred during 2003. Since no
consideration is given to operational efficiencies and expanded products and services, the pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations as they would have been, if the acquisitions had occurred at the dates
presented:

Each segment was
tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 on December 31, 2004 and 2003. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows. The impairment tests indicated that no impairment charge
was required at either test date.



Core deposit intangibles
have a weighted-average amortization period of 3.8 years and other customer intangibles have a weighted-average amortization period of 2.6 years. The weighted-average amortization period for all amortizing intangible assets is 3.6 years.

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 the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value.



As of December 31, 2004, 129 debt securities have been
in a loss position for more than twelve months and 178 debt securities have been in a loss position for less than twelve months. The losses for all securities are a direct result of rising interest rates and the effect that rising rates has on the
value of debt securities and not the credit worthiness of the issuers. Further, the Company has the current intent and ability to hold the securities to an expected recovery in market value. Therefore the Company has not recognized any
other-than-temporary impairments.

In the normal course
of business, loans are made to directors, officers, and their affiliates. Such loans are made on substantially the same terms as to other customers of the banks. The aggregate of such loans was $65,252,000 and $64,035,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, new loans of $38,254,000 and $40,348,000 were funded and reductions totaled $50,015,000 and $39,563,000, respectively.



Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $8,091,000 and $9,817,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. If these loans had been current throughout their terms, gross interest income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, would have increased by approximately $489,000 and $474,000.



At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the recorded net investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized totaled $8,091,000 and $9,817,000, respectively. Management of the Company believes that the value of these impaired loans on the Companys books is less than the recoverable value of the loans. The Company did
not recognize any material interest income on impaired loans during the portion of the year that they were impaired. The impaired loans at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were measured for impairment primarily using the fair value of the collateral. The
average investment in these loans for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $8,511,000 and $7,965,000, respectively.



All of the loans identified as being impaired have been specifically allocated a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses. This specifically
allocated portion of the allowance totaled $86,000 and $2,041,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



The Company grants real estate, commercial, and consumer loans to customers primarily in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Although the Company has a
diversified loan portfolio, significant concentrations include loans collateralized by improved and undeveloped commercial and residential real estate.

|11. |  | Commitments and Contingencies
|--- |  | -----------------------------



In the normal course of business, the Company makes commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These commitments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments include, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Companys exposure to credit risk
is the extent of nonperformance by the counter party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit
policies and procedures in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, unused commitments under lines of credit aggregated approximately
$1,112,654,000 and $704,204,000, of which approximately $19,853,000 and $15,216,000 pertained to related parties, respectively. The Company evaluates each customers credit worthiness on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained,
if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, residential real
estate and income-producing commercial properties.



The Company
had approximately $32,602,000 and $28,187,000 in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which approximately $433,000 and $35,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, pertained to
related parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and
equipment, and residential real estate for those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.



The Company, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened litigation. Based on review and consultation with legal
counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.



After year end, the Company received preliminary tax assessments for certain
state taxes from a taxing authority for subsidiaries holding investments outside of the state. Based upon a review of the assessment and the relevant tax laws and based on review and consultation with accountants and counsel, management does not
anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such assessment will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Assumptions

Primary assumptions used to actuarially determine benefit obligations and net pension expense are as follows:



|                                         |  |                             |   |  |      |   |  |      |

The expected long-term
return on plan assets assumption has been derived by applying the weighted-averaged target allocation to the expected return by asset category, shown in the table below. Overall, the expected return assumptions for each asset class utilized is
generally based on expectation of future returns.



Plan
Assets



The consolidated pension plan weighted-average
asset allocations at December 31, 2004 and 2003, by asset category are as follows:

The target asset
allocation shown above represents the weighted-average target allocation of total plan assets. Each plans stated investment policy allows for a range of percentages within each asset class that generally is 10% above and below the target. At
December 31, 2004, the plans are out of policy due to an increase in value of the equity securities and a decline in market value of debt securities. The plan trustee monitors the asset allocation and when the plans are out of policy takes measures
to prudently reallocate the asset mix to bring the plans into compliance with the stated investment policies. The stated investment goals are to generate a return in excess of 7.0% (the current long-term return assumption), to meet or exceed the
rate of return of similarly balanced market indexes and to provide an appropriate amount of liquidity to meet distribution requirements of current and future retirees. The risk management practices employed by the plans investment policies
include diversification criteria, requirements that fixed income investments be of investment quality, an annual assessment of investment managers, analysis of fund performance against benchmarks and substantiation that investment results are
consistent with stated objectives, goals and

guidelines. Finally, there are several categories of investments that are not eligible for investment without specific approval. These include: short sales,
margin purchases, private placements, commodities, security loans, unregistered or restricted stock, warrants, real estate mortgages, real estate equity, options and futures.



Equity securities include Alabama National BanCorporation common stock in the amounts of $1.26 million (18% of total plan
assets) and $1.02 million (15.1% of total plan assets) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.



The Company does not anticipate making a contribution to its pension plans during 2005.



Estimated Future Benefit Payments



The following benefit payments are expected to be paid (in thousands):



|                |  |   |      
|--------------- |  | - | -----
|2005            |  | $ | 145

|2009            |  | $ | 205  
|Years 2010-2014 |  | $ | 1,651



The Company has a
qualified employee benefit plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all employees. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their salary to the plan on a pre-tax basis and the Company matches 100% of
participants contributions up to the first 5.5% of each participants salary. The Companys matching contribution charged to operations related to this plan was approximately $2,634,000, $2,224,000 and $1,778,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



The Company
and certain subsidiary banks have deferred compensation plans for the benefit of the Companys former chief executive officer. Payments under the plans commenced March 15, 1997 and March 15, 2002, and continue for a period of 15 years. In
connection with the plans, the banks purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of the officer. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the cash surrender value of the policies was $2,766,000 and $2,741,000, respectively.



Additionally, the Company and several of its subsidiary banks own life
insurance policies to provide for the payment of death benefits related to existing deferred compensation and supplemental income plans maintained for the benefit of certain presidents, employees and directors of such banks. The total cash surrender
value of such policies at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $16,516,000 and $13,366,000, respectively. The Company recorded expense of $304,000, $967,000 and $240,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, for these plans.



The Company sponsors a Performance Share Plan (the PSP) to
offer long-term incentives in addition to current compensation to certain key executives. The PSP is governed by the Companys Compensation Committee, which may prescribe different criteria for payment for different participants in the PSP.
Such criteria may be expressed in terms of (i) the growth in net income per share during the award period, or (ii) average return on average equity in comparison with other banks and bank holding companies, or (iii) other reasonable bases. The
vesting period for awards is generally four years. Under the plan 400,000 shares have been reserved for issuances.

In accordance with the terms of the PSP, a base grant of 42,700, 17,310 and 17,325 shares (net of
forfeitures) was made in each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The market value per share was $52.31, $43.88 and $33.33 at each grant date for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, 25,906, 20,274 and 22,859 shares, respectively, were awarded to participants. At December 31, 2004, outstanding awards of expected and maximum payouts were 145,035 and 159,233 shares, respectively.
Expense recorded for the PSP was $1,235,000, $888,000 and $698,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



During 2000, the Company adopted a separate Performance Share Plan to provide long-term incentives to non-employee directors of a subsidiary bank (the
2000 Subsidiary PSP) and made a base grant of 20,000 shares, with a market value per share of $19.22 to vest over a sixty-four month period. The actual number of shares to be distributed in fiscal 2005 will depend on the subsidiary banks
performance as well as certain conditions to be met by the directors. At December 31, 2004, the expected and maximum payout was 25,000 shares. Expense recorded for the 2000 Subsidiary PSP was $90,000 for each of the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002.



During 1999, the Company adopted the 1999
Long Term Incentive Plan (the LTI Plan) which provides for the award of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance awards to eligible employees of the Company. The total number of shares of
common stock reserved and available for distribution under the LTI Plan is 300,000 shares. Any awards under the LTI Plan will be in addition to awards made under the PSP. During 2000, the Company granted 160,500 non-qualified stock options under the
LTI Plan, which vest over a sixty-month period. Net of forfeitures and exercises, 134,034 stock options were outstanding at December 31, 2004. Expense recorded for the LTI Plan was $126,000, $143,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

During 2004, 2003 and
2002, the Company did not grant any stock options. Total compensation expense recorded for the stock option plans was $126,000, $143,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.



Additionally, the Company and four of its subsidiary banks maintain deferral
of compensation plans for certain directors who are not employees of the Company. Under the plans, non-employee directors may choose to have all or part of the cash and/or stock equivalents they would normally receive as compensation deferred for
future payment, at such time and in such manner as such directors specify at the time of the election, so long as any annuity payment period does not exceed ten years. The cash portion of the deferral of compensation account earns interest at a rate
which approximates the Companys short-term borrowing rate. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no deferred cash payments under directors deferral of compensation plans. Dividends earned on stock equivalent portions are credited to the
deferral of compensation account in the form of additional stock equivalents. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount deferred under the terms of these plans totaled $2,465,000 and $2,002,000, respectively. For the years ending December 31, 2004,
2003 and 2002, approximately $333,000, $368,000 and $437,000, respectively, was expensed under these plans. One of the Companys subsidiary banks has a deferred compensation plan whereby directors may elect to have all or a portion of their
compensation deferred. Compensation eligible for deferral under the plan was $21,000, $23,000 and $13,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, amounts payable under the plan totaled $174,000 and $152,000,
respectively.

|16. |  | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|--- |  | -----------------------------------



The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.



Cash, Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Cash
Balances, and Federal Funds Sold

Due to the short-term nature of these assets, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
value.



Investment, Available for Sale, and Trading
Securities

Fair value is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.



Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.



Deposits

The amount payable on demand at the reporting date is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of demand deposit, savings
accounts, and certain money market deposit liabilities. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.



Federal Funds Purchased and Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of the Companys fixed rate borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flows, based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The
carrying amount of the Companys variable rate borrowings approximates their fair values.





The estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

The subsidiary banks are required by law to maintain reserves in cash or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank or other banks. At December 31, 2004, the
required reserves totaled $54,161,000.



At December 31, 2004
and 2003, securities with carrying values of $461,717,000 and $352,380,000, respectively, were pledged to secure U.S. government deposits and other public funds for purposes as required or permitted by law.



The Company has a policy of collecting amounts from its subsidiaries
sufficient to cover expenses of the Company and to service Company debt. Such amounts have been received in the form of dividends declared by the subsidiaries. Payment of dividends is subject to the financial condition of the subsidiaries and the
Companys judgment as to the desirability of utilizing alternative sources of funds. The payment of dividends by the subsidiary banks is also subject to various regulatory requirements. At December 31, 2004, $89,847,000 of the retained earnings
of the subsidiary banks are available for payment of dividends to the Company under the various regulatory requirements, without special approval from the applicable regulators.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking
agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory  and possibly additional discretionary  actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys financial
condition and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities,
and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Companys capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.



Quantitative measures established by regulation to
ensure capital adequacy require the Company maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total qualifying capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital
(as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.



As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Companys
subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the subsidiary banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institutions category.



At December 31, 2004, the regulatory capital ratios of the Companys subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum ratios required for well-capitalized banks
as defined by federal banking regulators. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Companys subsidiary banks must maintain minimum Total Qualifying Capital, Tier I Capital and leverage ratios of at least 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively.

|19. |  | Segment Reporting
|--- |  | -----------------



In addition to traditional commercial and consumer retail banking products, the Company offers mortgage lending services, investment services, securities
brokerage and trust services and insurance services to its customers. The securities brokerage and trust division includes a full service broker-dealer operation and also manages the assets and provides custodial and trust services for both
corporate and individual customers located primarily in the Birmingham, Alabama market. The mortgage lending division makes home loans to individuals throughout the markets served by the Company. The majority of the loans made are sold to corporate
investors, who also service the loans. The investment services division sells fixed income securities and provides trading services to both individual and corporate customers. The insurance division offers a full line of insurance products including
life, and property and casualty insurance to individual and corporate customers primarily in the state of Alabama. These four divisions, along with the commercial and retail banking division, are considered the Companys reportable segments for
financial disclosure purposes.



The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that certain overhead expenses are not allocated among the segments. Additionally, the fixed assets utilized by the various divisions are not
separately identified by management. Accordingly, the results of operations for the mortgage lending, investment services, securities brokerage and trust, and insurance segments are not indicative of the results which would be achieved if each of
the segments were a separate company. Intersegment transactions are accounted for at fair market value.



The development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process. In addition, unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative
literature for management accounting similar to generally accepted accounting principles. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other financial institutions.
