PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Alabama National BanCorporation ("Alabama National" or "ANB") is a Delaware
bank holding company with its principal place of business in Birmingham,
Alabama, and its main office located at 1927 First Avenue North, Birmingham,
Alabama 35203 (Telephone Number: (205) 583-3600). Alabama National is
currently the parent of three national banks, National Bank of Commerce of
Birmingham ("NBC") (Birmingham, Alabama and the Birmingham metropolitan area),
Citizens & Peoples Bank, National Association (Escambia County, Florida), and
Community Bank of Naples, National Association (Naples, Florida); three state
member banks, Alabama Exchange Bank (Tuskegee, Alabama), Bank of Dadeville
(Dadeville, Alabama) and First Gulf Bank (Baldwin County, Alabama); and five
state nonmember banks, First American Bank (Decatur/Huntsville and
Auburn/Opelika, Alabama), Public Bank (St. Cloud, Florida), Georgia State Bank
(Mableton, Georgia), First Citizens Bank, (Talladega, Alabama) and Peoples
State Bank of Groveland (Lake County, Florida) (collectively the "Banks"). In
addition, Alabama National is currently the ultimate parent of one securities
brokerage firm, NBC Securities, Inc. (Birmingham, Alabama); one receivables
factoring company, Corporate Billing, Inc. (Decatur, Alabama); and one
insurance agency, ANB Insurance Services (Decatur, Alabama).
Recent Developments
Acquisition of Farmers National Bancshares, Inc.
Effective December 14, 2001, Alabama National acquired Farmers National
Bancshares, Inc., ("Farmers National"), a national bank holding company
headquartered in Opelika, Alabama, with approximately $188.4 million in total
assets as of December 14, 2001. The terms of the Farmers National acquisition
are described in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
September 6, 2001 (the "Farmers National Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the
Farmers National acquisition, (i) the stockholders of Farmers National
received 0.53125 shares of Alabama National common stock for each share of
Farmers National common stock, or, at the option of the Farmers National
stockholders $17.27 in cash for each share of Farmers National common stock,
(ii) Farmers National was merged with and into Alabama National, and (iii)
Farmers National's wholly-owned national bank subsidiary, Farmers National
Bank of Opelika, was merged with and into First American Bank. The Farmers
National acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
Subsidiary Banks
Alabama National operates through eleven subsidiary Banks which have a total
of 60 banking offices and one insurance office (where no banking is conducted)
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. NBC offers trust services, investment services and
securities brokerage services. 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, 2001, were
approximately $1.96 billion, or approximately 75.2% 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" or loans for "highly leveraged transactions,"
as such terms are defined by applicable banking regulations.
3
Loan Portfolio
Real Estate Loans. Loans secured by real estate are the primary component of
Alabama National's loan portfolio, constituting approximately $1.42 billion,
or 72.3% of total loans, net of unearned interest, at December 31, 2001. 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 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 terms of five years, with payments through the date of maturity generally
based on a 15 or 30 year amortization schedule.
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 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 2001, the Banks sold approximately $506.7 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 $82.9
million, or 4.22% of Alabama National's loan portfolio at December 31, 2001.
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.
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 $247.6 million, or 12.6% of Alabama
National's loan portfolio at December 31, 2001. 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
4
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
each of NBC and 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 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.
Deposit rates are reviewed weekly by senior management of each of the Banks.
Management 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
NBC 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
NBC's wholly owned subsidiary, NBC Securities, Inc. ("NBC Securities"), is
licensed as a broker-dealer. 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 planning. NBC Securities has investment
advisors in Birmingham, Decatur and Gulf Shores, Alabama; Naples and
Pensacola, Florida; and Mableton, Georgia. NBC 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.
5
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, Inc., in 1999. Rankin Insurance, now
operating under the name ANB Insurance Services, is a full service independent
property and casualty insurance agency located in Decatur, Alabama.
Competition
The Banks encounter strong competition in making loans, acquiring deposits
and attracting customers for investment and trust services. Competition among
financial institutions is based upon interest rates offered on deposit
accounts, interest rates charged on loans, other credit and service charges
relating to loans, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the
convenience of banking facilities and, in the case of loans to commercial
borrowers, relative lending limits. 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 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 or thrift holding companies and
federally insured banks or thrifts.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, effective March 11, 2000, permits bank holding
companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with
securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that
are financial in nature. See "Supervision and Regulation." Under the Act,
securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial
holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which represents the most sweeping reform of financial
services regulation in over sixty years, may significantly change the
competitive environment in which Alabama National and the Banks conduct
business. At this time, however, it is not possible to predict the full effect
that the Act will have on Alabama National. One consequence may be increased
competition from large financial services companies that will be permitted to
provide many types of financial services, including bank products, to their
customers.
The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as
further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial
services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of
depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of
funds between parties.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"IBBEA") authorized bank holding companies to acquire banks and other bank
holding companies without geographic limitations beginning September 30, 1995.
In addition, beginning on June 1, 1997, the IBBEA authorized interstate
mergers and consolidations of existing banks, provided that neither bank's
home state had opted out of interstate branching by May 31, 1997. The States
of Alabama, Georgia and Florida have opted in to interstate branching.
Interstate branching provides that once a bank has established branches in a
state through an interstate merger, the bank may establish and acquire
additional branches at any location in the state where any bank involved in
the interstate merger could have established or acquired branches under
applicable federal or state law.
Size gives the larger banks certain advantages in competing for business
from large corporations. These advantages include higher lending limits and
the ability to offer services in other areas of Alabama and the southeast
region. Some of Alabama National's competitors still maintain substantially
greater resources and lending limits than Alabama National. As a result,
Alabama National has not generally attempted to compete for the banking
relationships of large corporations, and generally concentrates its efforts on
small to medium-sized businesses and individuals to which Alabama National
6
believes it can compete effectively by offering quality, personal service.
However, management believes it may be able to compete more effectively for
the business of some large corporations, given its current growth pattern.
Management believes that the Banks' commitment to their respective primary
market areas, as well as their commitment to quality and personalized banking
services, are factors that contribute to the Banks' competitiveness.
Management believes that Alabama National's decentralized community banking
strategy positions the Banks to compete successfully in their market areas.
Market Areas and Growth Strategy
Through NBC, Alabama National serves the metropolitan Birmingham market,
which includes portions of Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair Counties. Alabama
National's First American Bank subsidiary serves Morgan, Limestone and Madison
Counties in north Alabama and Lee County in east, central Alabama. First
American's largest market presence is in Decatur, Alabama, which has
demonstrated a growing economic base in recent years. First American also
acquired two branches in Huntsville, Alabama from another bank holding company
during 2000 and has experienced growth in this market. First American entered
the Lee County market, which includes the communities of Auburn and Opelika,
with the December 14, 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 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. Public Bank is located in the fast-growing greater Orlando
area, with offices in Altamonte Springs, Kissimmee and St. Cloud, Florida.
Public Bank also expanded to the Atlantic Coast in September 2001 with the
opening of a new office in Vero Beach, Florida. 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.
Effective January 31, 2001, Alabama National expanded its presence in the
greater-Orlando area with the acquisition of Peoples State Bank of Groveland
("Peoples State Bank"). Peoples State Bank serves customers in the communities
of Groveland, Leesburg and Clermont, Florida. The other Banks, First Citizens,
Alabama Exchange Bank and Bank of Dadeville, are located in non-metropolitan
areas. Each of these three Banks, while experiencing minimal growth due to
market growth that has not been significant, 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 growth in profitability for these non-
metropolitan banks, since market growth has not been as significant.
Due to continuing consolidation within the banking industry, as well as 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 Alabama, Florida and Georgia. 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 expansion through combinations with other banks or thrifts,
Alabama National intends to continue to expand where possible through growth
of its existing banks in their respective market areas. 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, Inc., a full service independent property and casualty
insurance agency located in Decatur, Alabama. While Alabama National plans to
continue its growth as described above, there is no assurance that its efforts
will be successful.
7
Employees
As of December 31, 2001, Alabama National and the Banks together had
approximately 1,137 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 state and federal banking laws
and regulations which impose specific requirements and restrictions on, and
provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to, virtually all
aspects of operations. These laws and regulations are generally intended to
protect depositors, not stockholders. To the extent that the following summary
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.
Beginning with the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery
and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and following in December 1991 with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act ("FDICIA"), numerous additional
regulatory requirements have been placed on the banking industry in the past
ten years, and additional changes have been proposed. The operations of
Alabama National and the Banks may be affected by legislative changes and the
policies of various regulatory authorities. Alabama National is unable to
predict the nature or the extent of the effect on its business and earnings
that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control, or new federal or state
legislation may have in the future.
As a bank holding company, Alabama National is subject to the regulation,
examination and supervision of 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.
Pursuant to the IBBEA, bank holding companies from any state may now acquire
banks located in any other state, subject to certain conditions, including
concentration limits. As of June 1, 1997, a bank may establish branches across
state lines by merging with a bank in another state (unless applicable state
law prohibits such interstate mergers), provided certain conditions are met. A
bank may also establish a de novo branch in a state in which the bank does not
maintain a branch if that state expressly permits such interstate de novo
branching and certain other conditions are met.
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 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.
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
8
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.
The Federal Reserve has adopted rules to incorporate market and interest
rate risk components into its risk-based capital standards. Amendments to the
risk-based capital requirements, incorporating market risk, became effective
January 1, 1998. Under these market risk requirements, capital will be
allocated to support the amount of market risk related to a financial
institution's ongoing trading activities.
The Banks are subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the Federal
Reserve Act, which 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.
The Banks are also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act that, among other things, prohibit 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.
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 outstanding or satisfactory ratings in its most recent evaluation.
There are various legal and regulatory limits on the extent to which the
Banks may pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Alabama National. In
addition, federal and state regulatory agencies also 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.
FDIC regulations require that management report on its responsibility for
preparing its institution's financial statements and for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure and procedures for financial
reporting and compliance with designated laws and regulations concerning
safety and soundness.
The FDIC currently 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. The FDIC
recently has proposed changes to its assessment system that are designed to
require premium payments by a greater number of banks and other FDIC-insured
depository institutions and that also would provide rebates to some
institutions. If any of these changes were to take effect, the assessment
obligations of the Banks could change.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which became effective in 2000, permits bank
holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate
with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities
that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial
holding company by filing a declaration if each of its subsidiary banks is
well capitalized under the FDICIA prompt corrective action provisions, is well
managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the CRA. No regulatory
approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a
company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that
are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in
nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve. At this time, Alabama National
has not registered to become a financial holding company.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act broadly defines "financial in nature" to include
securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds
and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking;
and activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related
to banking. The Act also permits the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the
Department of Treasury, to determine that other activities are "financial in
nature" and therefore permissible for financial holding companies. A national
bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that
are financial in nature (other than insurance underwriting, insurance company
portfolio investment, merchant banking, real estate development and real
estate investment) through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is
well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory CRA rating.
Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company or national banks with
financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed
in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature
without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of
the financial subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding
company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that
are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial
holding company or the bank at issue has a CRA rating of satisfactory or
better. Bank holding companies that have not become financial holding
companies are prohibited from engaging in activities other than banking or
managing or controlling banks or other permissible subsidiaries and from
acquiring or retaining direct or indirect control of any company engaged in
any activities other than those activities determined by the Federal Reserve
to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be
a proper incident thereto.
The 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.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also establishes a minimum federal standard of
financial privacy. In general, the applicable regulations issued by the
various federal regulatory agencies prohibit affected financial institutions
(including banks, insurance agencies and broker/dealers) from sharing
information about their customers with non-affiliated third parties unless (1)
the financial institution has first provided a privacy notice to the customer;
(2) the financial institution has given the customer an opportunity to opt out
of the disclosure; and (3) the customer has not opted out after being given a
reasonable opportunity to do so.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial
condition of Alabama National BanCorporation ("Alabama National") and results
of operations as of the dates and for the periods indicated. On January 31,
2001, Peoples State Bank of Groveland, a bank headquartered in Groveland,
Florida, was merged with and into a newly formed subsidiary of Alabama
National, whereby Peoples State Bank of Groveland became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Alabama National. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each
share of Peoples State Bank common stock was converted into 1.164 shares of
Alabama National common stock for a total of 734,609 shares. The historical
consolidated financial statements of Alabama National reflect adjustments for
the Peoples State Bank merger, which was accounted for as a pooling of
interests, and differ from consolidated financial statements of Alabama
National as previously reported. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of
Alabama National conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and with general financial service industry
practices.
The historical consolidated financial statements of Alabama National and the
"FIVE-YEAR SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA" derived from the historical
consolidated financial statements of Alabama National are set forth elsewhere
herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with those consolidated
financial statements and selected consolidated financial data and the other
financial information included in this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Alabama National's accounting policies are critical to understanding the
results of operations 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
elsewhere herein.
Some of the more complex technical accounting policies require management to
make significant estimates and judgements 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 judgements about valuation and the
application of complex accounting standards and interpretations.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Alabama National records estimated probable incurred credit ,losses in the
loan and lease portfolios as an allowance for loan losses. The methodologies
and assumptions for determining the adequacy of the overall allowance for loan
losses involve significant judgements to be made by management. Some of the
more critical judgements supporting the amount Alabama National's allowance
for loan losses methodology and estimates include judgements 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 incurred 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 losses, see Note 1 to Alabama National's consolidated
financial statements included in this Annual Report and "Provision and
Allowance for Loan Losses."
Other
There are other complex accounting standards that require Alabama National
to employ significant judgement 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, 2001, compared with year ended December 31, 2000
Alabama National's net income increased by $2.9 million, or 11.4%, to $28.4
million in the year ended December 31, 2001, from $25.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000. Return on average assets during 2001 was 1.12%,
compared with 1.17% during 2000, and return on average equity was 15.40%
during 2001, compared with 16.29% during 2000.
Net interest income increased $8.9 million, or 11.1%, to $89.1 million in
2001, from $80.2 million in 2000, as interest income increased by $8.3 million
and interest expense decreased $0.6 million. The increase in net interest
income is attributable to a $233.8 million increase in average loans to $1.81
billion during 2001, from $1.58 billion in 2000, as a result of continued
management emphasis on loan growth. In general, loans are Alabama National's
highest yielding earning asset. Alabama National also experienced a growth in
its securities portfolio that also contributed to the increase in net interest
income in 2001. Average securities totaled $449.9 million in 2001, compared to
$365.3 in 2000. Despite an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of
$285.8 million, to $2.04 billion in 2001, interest expense decreased slightly
during 2001. This is a result of the interest rate cuts during 2001 by the
Federal Reserve Bank and the effect
17
these cuts had on rates paid on Alabama National's deposits and other funding
sources. Except for other short-term borrowings, all categories of average
interest-bearing liabilities increased during 2001. Average time deposits
increased $88.9 million, to $948.2 million in 2001, compared to $859.4 million
in 2000. The interest rate paid on time deposits decreased 32 basis points to
5.68% in 2001. Also, average long-term and short-term debt increased a
combined $49.5 million, to $211.7 million during 2001, from $162.2 million in
2000. The increases in the above liability categories are due to Alabama
National's need to fund loan and asset growth. These funding sources generally
bear higher interest rates than interest-bearing transaction accounts,
resulting in higher interest expense.
Alabama National's net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.33%
and 3.83%, respectively, in 2001, compared to 3.47% and 4.03%, respectively,
in 2000. These decreases resulted because the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities did not reprice as rapidly as the yield earned on average loans.
During 2001, as the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, Alabama National's
loans repriced more rapidly than the deposits and other funding sources used
to fund loans and other earning assets.
Alabama National recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.9 million during
2001, compared to $2.5 million in 2000. 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 or regulatory factors will not require further increases in the
allowance. Alabama National's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
period-end loans (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.45% at December 31,
2001, compared with 1.31% at December 31, 2000. The allowance for loan losses
as a percentage of period-end nonperforming assets was 308.55% at December 31,
2001, compared with 437.73% at December 31, 2000. Alabama National experienced
net charge-offs of $1.7 million in 2001, equating to a ratio of net charge-
offs to average loans of 0.09%, compared with net charge-offs of $0.6 million
in 2000, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.04%. See
"Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses."
Noninterest income, including net securities gains and losses, increased
$15.4 million, or 46.1%, to $48.7 million in 2001, compared with $33.3 million
in 2000. Each component of noninterest income experienced increases during
2001. The most significant increases were recorded in the investment services
division and mortgage division. Revenue from the investment services division
increased $7.9 million, or 133.8%, to $13.7 in 2001, from $5.9 million in
2000. Total revenue earned from the mortgage division increased $3.9 million,
or 110.5%, to $7.4 million in 2001, from $3.5 million in 2000. The securities
brokerage and trust division experienced a revenue increase of $1.1 million,
or 14.4%, to $8.8 million in 2001, from $7.7 million in 2000. The commissions
generated by the insurance division totaled $2.1 million in each of 2001 and
2000. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $1.2 million, or 14.4%,
to $9.5 million in 2001, from $8.3 million in 2000. Earnings on bank owned
life insurance totaled $2.4 million in 2001, compared with $2.1 million in
2000. The increase reflects earnings on a larger bank owned life insurance
asset base due to reinvestment of policy earnings and additional investments
in bank owned life insurance policies during 2001. Noninterest expense
increased $18.1 million, or 24.5%, to $92.2 million in 2001, compared with
$74.1 million during 2000. For a detailed discussion of these income and
expense categories, see "Noninterest Income and Expense."
Income before the provision for income taxes increased $4.7 million, or
12.8%, to $41.7 million in 2001, from $37.0 million in 2000. Net income
totaled $28.4 million in 2001, an increase of $2.9 million, or 11.4%, compared
to $25.5 million during 2000.
Year ended December 31, 2000, compared with year ended December 31, 1999
Alabama National's net income increased by $2.2 million, or 9.5%, to $25.5
million in the year ended December 31, 2000, from $23.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 1999. Return on average assets during 2000 was 1.17%,
compared with 1.26% during 1999, and return on average equity was 16.29%
during 2000, compared with 16.11% during 1999.
Net interest income increased $9.4 million, or 13.3%, to $80.2 million in
2000 from $70.8 million in 1999, as interest income increased by $38.1 million
and interest expense increased $28.7 million. The increase in net interest
income is primarily attributable to a $303.3 million increase in average loans
to $1.6 billion during 2000, from $1.3 billion in 1999, as a result of
management emphasis on loan growth. In general, loans are Alabama National's
highest yielding earning asset. The increased interest expense is primarily
attributable to an increase in average time deposits of $206.3 million, to
18
$859.4 million in 2000, from $653.1 million in 1999 and an increase in the
interest rate paid on time deposits of 76 basis points, to 6.00% in 2000, from
5.24% in 1999. Also, average long-term and short-term debt increased a
combined $75.4 million to $162.2 million during 2000, from $86.8 million in
1999. The increases in the above liability categories are due to Alabama
National's need to fund loan growth. These funding sources generally bear
higher interest rates than interest-bearing transaction accounts, resulting in
higher interest expense.
Alabama National's net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.47%
and 4.03%, respectively, in 2000, each decreasing by 20 basis points from
1999. These decreases resulted because the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities increased more rapidly than the yield earned on average loans due
to a shift in Alabama National's funding mix. During 2000, loans grew more
rapidly than lower cost deposits, causing Alabama National to rely upon more
costly funding sources such as Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and brokered
certificate of deposits.
Alabama National recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.5 million and
$2.1 million during 2000 and 1999, respectively. 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 or regulatory factors will not require further increases in the
allowance. Alabama National's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
period-end loans (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.31% at December 31,
2000, compared with 1.36% at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses
as a percentage of period-end nonperforming assets was 437.73% at December 31,
2000, compared with 360.58% at December 31, 1999. Alabama National experienced
net charge-offs of $649,000 in 2000, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to
average loans of 0.04% compared with net charge-offs of $461,000 in 1999,
equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.04%. See
"Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses."
Noninterest income, including net securities gains and losses, increased
$2.0 million, or 6.5%, to $33.3 million in 2000, compared with $31.3 million
in 1999. Alabama National experienced revenue decreases in its investment
services and mortgage lending divisions of $1.2 million, or 11.5%, to $9.4
million in 2000 from $10.6 million in 1999. The securities brokerage and trust
division experienced a revenue increase of $1.8 million, or 30.4%, to $7.7
million in 2000, from $5.9 million in 1999. The commissions generated by the
insurance division totaled $2.1 million in 2000 compared to $1.1 million in
1999. The 1999 commission revenue only includes seven months of activity as
the division was acquired in May 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased by $293,000, or 3.7%, to $8.3 million in 2000 from $8.0 million in
1999. Earnings on bank owned life insurance totaled $2.1 million in 2000,
compared with $1.5 million in 1999. The increase reflects earnings on a larger
bank owned life insurance asset base due to reinvestment of policy earnings
and additional investments in bank owned life insurance policies during 2000.
Noninterest income for 1999 includes a gain of $819,000 from the curtailment
of Alabama National's defined benefit pension plan, a gain of $262,000 from
non-recurring sales of assets and a securities gain of $196,000. Noninterest
income for 2000 includes a securities loss of $119,000 and a loss of $19,000
from non-recurring sales of assets. Excluding these non-recurring items,
Alabama National's noninterest income increased $2.6 million, or 8.5%, in 2000
versus 1999. Noninterest expense increased $8.3 million, or 12.5%, to $74.1
million in 2000, compared with $65.9 million during 1999. See "Noninterest
Income and Expense."
Income before the provision for income taxes increased $2.8 million, or
8.2%, to $37.0 million in 2000, from $34.1 million in 1999. Net income totaled
$25.5 million in 2000, an increase of $2.2 million, or 9.5%, compared to $23.3
million during 1999.
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 the Alabama
National's net interest margin.

During 2001, Alabama National experienced an increase in net interest income
of $8.9 million, or 11.1%, to $89.1 million, compared with $80.2 million in
2000. Net interest income increased despite a decrease in the net interest
spread of 14 basis points to 3.33% in 2001, from 3.47% in 2000, and a decrease
in the net interest margin of 20 basis points to 3.83% in 2001, compared with
4.03% in 2000. The decline in net interest spread and net interest margin is
largely due to the effects of the interest rate reductions by the Federal
Reserve during 2001. Alabama National's interest earning assets have repriced
more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities as time deposits reprice
only at maturity. Alabama National's net interest margin improved 21 basis
points during the fourth quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of
2001. Management anticipates the net interest margin to approximately
stabilize at current levels, absent any additional rate reductions by the
Federal Reserve or significant changes in the general interest rate
environment. During 2001, net average earning assets increased by $334.7
million, or 16.8%, to $2.33 billion, from $1.99 billion in 2000. The major
components of this increase included average loans, which increased $233.8
million, or 14.8%, to $1.81 billion in 2001, from $1.58 billion in 2000, and
securities, which increased $84.6 million, or 23.2%, to $449.9 million in
2001, from $365.3 million in 2000.

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 a projection of net interest income.
Alabama National also periodically verifies the validity of this approach by
comparing actual results with those that were projected in previous models.
See "--Market Risk."
Another technique used by Alabama National in interest rate management is
the measurement of the interest sensitivity "gap," which is the positive or
negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to
interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate
sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets and liabilities, selling
securities available for sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity or
by adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability.
Alabama National evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates
guidelines regarding asset generation and repricing, and sources and prices of
off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease interest sensitivity risk.
Alabama National uses computer simulations to measure the net income effect of
various interest rate scenarios. The modeling reflects interest rate changes
and the related impact on net income over specified periods of time.
22
The following table illustrates Alabama National's interest rate sensitivity
at December 31, 2001, assuming the relevant assets and liabilities are
collected and paid, respectively, based upon historical experience rather than
their stated maturities.

Alabama National generally benefits from increasing market rates of interest
when it has an asset-sensitive gap and generally benefits from decreasing
market interest rates when it is liability sensitive. Alabama National is
liability sensitive throughout one year after one month. 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. Accordingly, management believes that a
liability-sensitive gap position is not as
23
indicative of Alabama National's true interest sensitivity as it would be for
an organization which depends to a greater extent on purchased funds to
support earning assets. Net interest income may be 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.
Market Risk
Alabama National's earnings are dependent on its net interest income which
is the difference between interest income earned on all earning assets,
primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on all interest bearing
liabilities, primarily deposits. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse
changes in market prices and rates. Alabama National's market risk arises
primarily from inherent interest rate risk in its lending, investing and
deposit gathering activities. Alabama National seeks to reduce its exposure to
market risk through actively monitoring and managing its interest rate risk.
Management relies upon static "gap" analysis to determine the degree of
mismatch in the maturity and repricing distribution of interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities which quantifies, to a large extent, the
degree of market risk inherent in Alabama National's balance sheet. Gap
analysis is further augmented by simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of
varying levels of prevailing interest rates and the sensitivity of specific
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to changes in those prevailing
rates. Simulation analysis consists of evaluating the impact on net interest
income given changes from 200 basis points below to 200 basis points above the
current prevailing rates. Management makes certain assumptions as to the
effect varying levels of interest rates have on certain earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities, which assumptions consider both historical
experience and consensus estimates of outside sources.
With respect to the primary earning assets, loans and securities, certain
features of individual types of loans and specific securities introduce
uncertainty as to their expected performance at varying levels of interest
rates. In some cases, imbedded options exist whereby the borrower may elect to
repay the obligation at any time. These imbedded prepayment options make
anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in
prevailing rates. At December 31, 2001, mortgage backed securities with a
carrying value totaling $486.3 million, or 17.1% of total assets and
essentially every underlying loan, net of unearned income, (totaling $1.96
billion, or 69.1% of total assets), carry such imbedded options. Management
believes that assumptions used in its simulation analysis about the
performance of financial instruments with such imbedded options are
appropriate. However, the actual performance of these financial instruments
may differ from management's estimates due to several factors, including the
diversity and 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 $2.07 billion, or 72.7% of total assets, at December 31,
2001. Since deposits are the primary funding source for earning assets, the
associated market risk is considered by management in its simulation analysis.
Generally, it is anticipated that deposits will be sufficient to support
funding requirements. However, the rates paid for deposits at varying levels
of prevailing interest rates have a significant impact on net interest income
and therefore, must be quantified by Alabama National in its simulation
analysis. Specifically, Alabama National's spread, the difference between the
rates earned on earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities,
is generally higher when prevailing rates are higher. As prevailing rates
reduce, the spread tends to compress, with severe compression at very low
prevailing interest rates. This characteristic is called "spread compression"
and adversely effects net interest income in the simulation analysis when
anticipated prevailing rates are reduced from current rates. Management relies
upon historical experience to estimate the degree of spread compression in its
simulation analysis. Management believes that such estimates of possible
spread compression are reasonable. However, if the degree of spread
compression varies from that expected, the actual results could differ from
those indicated by the simulation analysis.
24
The following table illustrates the results of simulation analysis used by
Alabama National to determine the extent to which market risk would affect net
interest margin for the next twelve months if prevailing interest rates
increased or decreased the specified amounts from current rates. Due to the
current interest rate environment, Alabama National's net interest income
would decrease significantly if prevailing interest rates were to decrease 100
or 200 basis points. The current rates paid on interest-bearing accounts
cannot decrease below zero, yet rates earned on loans can experience a
decrease in the falling rate scenarios, and the interest rate spread would
therefore compress. Because of the inherent use of estimates and assumptions
in the simulation model used to derive this information, the actual results of
the future impact of market risk on Alabama National's net interest margin,
may differ from that found in the table.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
Alabama National has policies and procedures for evaluating the overall
credit quality of its loan portfolio including timely identification of
potential problem credits. On a monthly basis, management reviews the
appropriate level for the allowance for loan 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 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 losses increased by $1.4 million, or 57.5%, to $3.9
million in 2001, from $2.5 million in 2000. The increased provision during
2001 is attributable to an increase in potential problem loans, an increase in
nonperforming loans, a higher level of net charge-offs, and growth in the loan
portfolio.
Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses is based on Alabama National's past loan 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 losses, at its current level, adequately covers Alabama National's
exposure to loan 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.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed as the
provision for loan losses on Alabama National's income statement, are made
periodically to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level
as determined by management. Loan losses and recoveries are charged or
credited directly to the allowance for loan 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's
policy is to place all loans on nonaccrual status if they become 90 days or
more past due, regardless of the collateral or the borrower's financial
condition. 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 losses. During the years ending
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, approximately $406,000, $498,000, and
$407,000, 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 increased $4.1 million, to $9.2 million at
December 3l, 2001, from $5.1 million at December 31, 2000. The increase in
nonperforming assets is attributable to the current slowdown in the national
economy and $1.1 million in nonperforming assets acquired in the Farmers
National Bancshares, Inc. acquisition. Although the level of nonperforming
assets has increased since year-end 2000, the current levels are still below
industry averages. The allowance for loan losses to period-end nonperforming
assets was 308.55% at December 31, 2001, compared with 437.73% at December 31,
2000. This ratio will generally fluctuate from period to period depending upon
nonperforming asset levels at period end. Total nonperforming loans increased
$3.9 million during 2001, to $7.6 million and other real estate owned
increased $212,000, to $1.7 million at December 31, 2001.
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, 2001, Alabama National had certain loans considered
by management to be potential problem loans totaling $75.8 million as compared
with $28.2 million at December 31, 2000. This increase in
27
potential problem loans is attributable to $11.6 million in potential problem
loans acquired in the Farmers National Bancshares, Inc. acquisition and the
current slowdown in the national economy. 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 losses.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income
Alabama National relies on five distinct product lines for the production of
recurring noninterest income: traditional retail and commercial banking,
mortgage banking, securities brokerage and trust services, investment
services, and insurance services. During 2001, Alabama National changed its
reportable segment disclosure to present the combined results of operations
for the securities brokerage and trust divisions into a consolidated segment.
This change is due to the similar customer base and products offered by these
divisions and reflects management's view that these formerly separate segments
should be combined for both internal and external monitoring and reporting.
Combined fees associated with Alabama National's five product lines totaled
$41.6 million in 2001, compared with $27.5 million in 2000, an increase of
$14.1 million, or 51.2%. An analysis of this increase is provided below.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal

Noninterest expense increased $18.1 million, or 24.5%, to $92.2 million in
2001, from $74.1 million in 2000. Salaries and employee benefits increased
$6.3 million, or 16.2%, in 2001. This increase reflects Alabama National's
general growth in employment concurrent with its expansion of offices and
business lines, its asset and revenue growth as well as salary increases
reflecting employee performance, job duties, and competitive employment market
conditions. Commission based compensation increased $7.3 million, or 131.2%,
in 2001. The increase in commission based compensation is due to increased
revenue production in mortgage, securities brokerage and investment divisions.
Net occupancy expense increased $816,000, or 9.2%, in 2001. This increase
during 2001 is attributable to a full year of occupancy expenses associated
with branch expansion and acquisitions during 2000. Alabama National's Banks
also opened three additional branches during 2001.

National Bank of Commerce of Birmingham 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
29
revenue increased dramatically during 2001, to $13.7 million, or 133.8%, from
$5.9 million in 2000. The substantial increase in revenue was due to increased
liquidity of community banks served by this division and the decline of
interest rates during 2001, both of which lead to increased demand for fixed
income securities by its customers. Investment services revenue decreased
$757,000, or 11.4%, to $5.9 million in 2000 from $6.6 million in 1999. The
rising interest rate environment in early 2000 combined with strong loan
demand in the economy reduced investors' demand for fixed income securities
during 2000. These results include certain income and expense items that are
allocated by management to the investment services areas of Alabama National.
These results 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 this division.

National Bank of Commerce of Birmingham has a wholly owned subsidiary, NBC
Securities, Inc. (NBC Securities), that is a full service licensed broker-
dealer. The trust department of NBC 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 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 $1.1 million, or 14.4%, to $8.8 million in
2001. Securities brokerage and trust revenue increased $1.8 million, or 30.4%,
to $7.7 million in 2000, from $5.9 million in 1999. The increase during both
2001 and 2000 is due to additional investment advisors and customer assets in
custody or under management, and general expansion of securities brokerage
services to other subsidiaries of Alabama National. During 2001, interest
income decreased $1.8 million, to $1.9 million, due to decreased margin loan
activity during the year. Interest income increased to $3.7 million in 2000,
from $2.1 million in 1999 due to increased volume of margin loans. These
results include certain income and expense items allocated by management to
the securities and trust division.
These results 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 this division.

(1) Includes intercompany income allocated to mortgage lending division
totaling $229,000, $335,000, and $247,000 at December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively.
Fees earned in connection with the origination and resale of mortgages
increased $3.8 million, or 98.1%, to $7.7 million, from $3.9 million in 2000.
This increase is primarily a result of falling interest rates and the impact
the interest rate environment has on new mortgage origination activity and
refinancing. Expenses and allocated charges totaled $5.5 million during 2001,
representing an increase of $2.5 million from 2000. The increase is due to
higher commission compensation and other expenses associated with a greater
volume of origination activity. Fees charged in connection with the
origination and resale of mortgage loans decreased $374,000, or 8.8%, to $3.9
million in 2000 from $4.2 million in 1999, due primarily to changing market
conditions. As interest rates remained high in early 2000, mortgage
origination volume declined. The expenses and allocated charges decreased by
$330,000 to $3.1 million in 2000 from $3.4 million in 1999. The decrease was
due to less mortgage origination volume. These results include certain income
and expense items that are allocated by management to the mortgage lending
area of Alabama National.
These results 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 this division.

(1) The insurance division was acquired in May 1999.
Commission income earned from the sale of insurance products was
approximately $2.1 million for each of 2001 and 2000. Alabama National
purchased an existing insurance company in May of 1999 and since that time has
been
31
establishing a network of salesmen in many of the markets served by Alabama
National. This expansion has resulted in increased expenses as new employees
are hired. Alabama National's plan is for these new hires to begin producing
revenue exceeding their compensation and other expenses such that this
expansion will eventually result in increased profitability from the insurance
services division. These results include certain income and expense items that
are allocated by management to the insurance services division of Alabama
National.
These results 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 this division.
Earning Assets
Loans
Loans 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 averaged $1.81
billion in 2001, compared to $1.58 billion in 2000, an increase of $233.8
million, or 14.8%. At December 31, 2001, total loans, net of unearned income,
were $1.96 billion, compared to $1.71 billion at the end of 2000, an increase
of $253.4 million, or 14.8%.
The growth in Alabama National's loan 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.
Also contributing to the loan growth during 2001 was the acquisition of
Farmers National Bancshares, Inc., which had loans of approximately $103.1
million at the time of acquisition. 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
32
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.
The principal component of Alabama National's loan portfolio is real estate
mortgage loans. At year-end 2001, this category totaled $1.2 billion and
represented 60.5% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $993.2 million, or
58.0%, of the total loan portfolio, at year-end 2000.
Residential mortgage loans increased $56.6 million, or 11.5%, to $546.7
million at December 31, 2001, compared with $490.2 million at December 31,
2000. Commercial mortgage loans increased $138.7 million, or 27.8%, to $637.6
million at December 31, 2001. Increases in both of these categories of loans
are primarily the result of Alabama National's expertise in and appetite for
these commercial and residential real estate loans. In addition, the general
economic conditions in Alabama National's markets, which generate such lending
opportunities, are partially responsible for this growth.
Real estate construction loans increased $45.6 million, or 24.5%, to $231.4
million at December 31, 2001, compared with $185.8 million at December 31,
2000. Alabama National's focus on the home construction market and strong
construction activity in markets it serves caused this increase.
Commercial and financial loans decreased $27.5 million, or 10.0% to $247.6
million at December 31, 2001. Alabama National's general preference for real
estate collateral or liquid collateral over accounts receivable and inventory
collateral is a factor in this decrease.
Consumer loans increased $3.5 million, or 4.3%, during 2001 to $82.9
million, from $79.5 million in 2000. Lease financing receivables increased
$15.3 million, or 26.0%, during 2001 to $73.9 million, from $58.7 million as a
result of a successful marketing efforts and business development efforts of
individuals in this area. Alabama National engages in no foreign lending
operations.
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, 2001.

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
33
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 $449.9 million
during 2001, compared with $365.3 million during 2000, an increase of $84.6
million, or 23.2%. Growth in the securities portfolio is generally a function
of growth in funding sources net of lending opportunities and during 2001 as
loan demand decreased Alabama National had excess liquidity to purchase
securities. Management attempts to maintain earning asset growth commensurate
with its funding growth and with its overall growth plans. During 2001,
Alabama National experienced increasing liquidity and a reduction in its rate
of loan growth (excluding loans acquired in the Farmers National Bancshares,
Inc. acquisition) and increased the size of the securities portfolio through
purchases. At December 31, 2001, the securities portfolio totaled $567.7
million, including securities held to maturity with an amortized cost of
$234.8 million and securities available for sale with a market value of $332.9
million.

Alabama National at the dates indicated.

At December 31, 2001, mortgage-backed securities consisting of
collateralized mortgage obligations and pass-through mortgage obligations had
a carrying value totaling $486.3 million. These mortgage-backed securities
include $226.1 million classified as investment securities and $260.2 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 both the terms of the underlying mortgages and the relative level of
mortgage interest rates. 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. Accordingly,
management generally expects repayment of the collateralized mortgage
obligations over a three to five year period, and repayment of the pass-
through mortgage obligations over a five to seven year period.
35
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
2001, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
averaged $46.6 million, compared to $41.9 million during 2000, representing a
$4.8 million, or 11.4% increase, as Alabama National experienced increased
liquidity due to paydowns on mortgage backed securities, deposit and other
funding growth.
Trading Account Securities
An important aspect of investment department operations, but less so to
Alabama National in total, 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 $2.0 million in
2001, and totaled $1.3 million at December 31, 2001, compared with an average
of $1.8 million in 2000, and $0.6 million at December 31, 2000. This small
dollar amount reflects management's policy of limiting positions in such
securities to reduce its exposure to market and interest rate changes.
Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $285.8 million, or 16.3%, to
$2.04 billion in 2001, from $1.76 billion in 2000. Average interest-bearing
deposits increased $153.2 million, or 10.7%, to $1.59 billion in 2001, from
$1.44 billion in 2000. This increase is attributable to competitive rate and
product offerings by Alabama National and successful marketing efforts.
Average Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased $83.1 million, or 53.2%, to $239.3 million in 2001, from
$156.2 million in 2000, due in part, to additional liquidity provided by
downstream correspondent banks. Average short-term borrowings decreased by
$22.2 million, or 34.1%, to $42.9 million in 2001, compared to $65.0 million
in 2000. Average long-term borrowings increased $71.7 million, to $168.9
million in 2001, from $97.2 million in 2000. The increase in the combined
short and long-term average debt outstanding is due to utilizing more
borrowing programs offered to Alabama National's Federal Home Loan Bank member
subsidiaries.
Deposits
Average total deposits increased $175.6 million, or 10.5%, to $1.85 billion
during 2001, from $1.68 billion during 2000. At December 31, 2001, total
deposits were $2.07 billion, compared with $1.81 billion at December 31, 2000.
Of this $259.7 million increase in deposits, approximately $175.5 million were
added as a result of the acquisition of Farmers National Bank of Opelika.
The following table sets forth the deposits of Alabama National by category
at the dates indicated.

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 $1.73 billion, or 83.8%, of total deposits at
December 31, 2001, and totaled $1.51 billion, or 83.4%, of total deposits at
December 31, 2000.
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 factors could effect this
funding source. Alabama National's loan-to-deposit ratio was 95.0% at December
31, 2001, and 94.7% at the end of 2000, and the ratio averaged 97.7% during
2001 and 94.0% during 2000. These increases in Alabama National's loan-to-
deposit ratio are due to loan growth exceeding deposit growth in 2001. The
maturity distribution of Alabama National's time deposits in excess of
$100,000 at December 31, 2001, is shown in the following table.

Approximately 32.8% of Alabama National's time deposits over $100,000 had
scheduled maturities within three months. Large certificate of deposit
customers tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these
deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than
core deposits. Alabama National had $39.0 million in large certificates of
deposit obtained through brokers outstanding at December 31, 2001, compared to
$87.1 million at December 31, 2000. Alabama National's use of brokered time
deposits fluctuates depending upon funding needs and the pricing and maturity
structure of brokered deposits versus other funding sources, including in-
market time deposits.
Borrowed Funds
Borrowed funds include five broad categories; (i) Federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, (ii) treasury, tax and
loan balances, (iii) Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings, (iv)
borrowings from a third party bank, and (v) proceeds of trust preferred
securities. 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, 2001, these funds totaled $240.1 million, compared
with $166.6 million at December 31, 2000. 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, 2001, treasury, tax and loan balances totaled $3.5 million,
compared to $0.9 million at December 31, 2000. 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 $35
million credit facility ("the Credit Facility") was $28.1 million during 2001,
compared with $20.8 million during 2000. As of December 31, 2001, the
outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was $16.4 million, leaving a
remaining availability under the Credit Facility
37
of $18.7 million. The increased average borrowings under this facility are
primarily attributable to the acquisition of two banks during 2001 and the
associated merger related expenses. Also, the Farmers National Bancshares,
Inc. acquisition allowed Farmers National shareholders the option to receive a
portion of their acquisition consideration in cash instead of Alabama National
common stock. Alabama National issued approximately $1.1 million to Farmers
National shareholders making such election. 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, 2002. Alabama National has historically
renewed the Credit Facility prior to its due date and anticipates doing so
again in 2002.
All of the Banks are members of the FHLB. At December 31, 2001, these Banks
had available FHLB lines of $308.7 million, under which $246.0 million was
outstanding, including advances classified as short-term of $52.0 million and
advances classified as long-term of $194.0 million. This compares to
borrowings of $147.7 million at December 31, 2000, of which $64.0 million was
short-term and $83.7 million was long-term. The increase borrowings from the
FHLB is attributable to the continued increase in interest bearing assets of
Alabama National, as other funding sources such as deposit liabilities were
unable to support such growth.
On December 18, 2001, Alabama National, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Alabama National Statutory Trust I, issued Floating Rate Capital Securities,
commonly known as trust preferred securities, in the principal amount of $15.0
million. The securities 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. The net proceeds of the trust
preferred securities issued were used to reduce the Company's balance under
the Credit Facility.

During the third quarter of 2001, the Board of Directors of Alabama National
authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of Alabama National's common
stock. As of December 31, 2001, 21,000 shares had been repurchased under this
plan.
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, 2001, 2000 and 1999, as set forth in the following table.

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
liquidity, averaged $46.6 million during 2001 and was $32.2 million at
December 31, 2001, and averaged $41.9 million during 2000 and was $30.3
million at December 31, 2000. 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 $157.8 million at December 31, 2001, 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 Condition, such as Federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term
borrowing. Combined Federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, treasury, tax and loan, and short-term borrowings
averaged $282.1 million during 2001 and were $311.9 million at December 31,
2001, and averaged
41
$221.2 million during 2000 and were $258.9 million at December 31, 2000.
Overnight borrowing lines with upstream correspondent banks, $125.7 million at
December 31, 2001, of which $85.7 million was unused, provide additional
sources of liquidity to Alabama National on an unsecured basis. The Federal
Home Loan Bank provides secured and unsecured credit lines to all of Alabama
National's Banks totaling approximately $308.7 million. At December 31, 2001,
advances under these lines totaled $246.0 million, including $52.0 million
classified as short-term and $194.0 million classified as long-term. Long-term
liquidity needs are met through Alabama National's deposit base (approximately
83.8% of Alabama National's deposits at December 31, 2001, 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 and the amount and mix of longer-
term investments in its portfolio.
One of the Banks, NBC, has pledged approximately $205.1 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. At
December 31, 2001, NBC had access to approximately $145.4 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
trust preferred securities. 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 16 to the Alabama National's Consolidated Financial
Statements included in this Annual Report.) If circumstances warrant, Alabama
National's short-term liquidity needs can also be met by additional borrowings
of approximately $18.7 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 trust preferred
securities 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. These
types of obligations are more fully discussed in Notes 8 and 9 of the
consolidated financial statements. Total contractual obligations of Alabama

Accounting Rule Changes
Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangibles
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
("Statement 141"), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
("Statement 142"). Statement 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 16, Business Combinations. The provisions of Statement 141
(1) require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) provide specific criteria for
the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets apart from
goodwill, and (3) require that unamortized negative goodwill be written off
immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized.
Statement 141 also requires that upon adoption of Statement 142 the Company
reclassify the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of
goodwill, based on certain criteria. Statement 142 supercedes APB 17,
Intangible Assets, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. Statement 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and
intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of
Statement 142 (1) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, (2) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill and/or indefinite-
lived intangible assets may be impaired), (3) require that reporting units be
identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of
goodwill, and (4) remove the forty-year limitation on the amortization period
of intangible assets that have finite lives.
The provisions of the Standards also apply to equity-method investments made
before and after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 requires that the unamortized
deferred credit related to an excess over cost arising from an investment that
was accounted for using the equity method (equity-method negative goodwill),
and that was acquired before July 1, 2001, must be written-off immediately and
recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Equity-method negative goodwill arising from equity investments made after
June 30, 2001 must be written-off immediately and recorded as on extraordinary
gain, instead of being deferred and amortized. Statement 142 prohibits
amortization of the excess of cost over the underlying equity in the assets of
an equity-method investee that is recognized as goodwill.
Alabama National will adopt the provisions of Statement 142 in its first
quarter ended March 31, 2002. Alabama National is in the process of preparing
for its adoption of Statement 142 and is making the determinations as to what
its reporting units are and what amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, other
assets, and liabilities should be allocated to
43
those reporting units. In connection with the adoption of Statement 142,
Alabama National does not expect to reclassify any balances between goodwill
and other intangible assets. Alabama National expects that it will no longer
record approximately $506,000 of amortization expense relating to existing
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. Alabama National will also evaluate
the useful lives assigned to its intangible assets and does not anticipate any
changes to the useful lives currently assigned.
Statement 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually for impairment using
a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment and,
in transition, this step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal
year. However, Statement 142 allows a company six months from the date of
adoption to complete the first step. Alabama National expects to complete the
first step of the goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of 2002.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test measures the amount of
impairment loss (measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if
any, and must be completed by December 31, 2002. Intangible assets deemed to
have an indefinite life will be tested for impairment using a one-step
process, which compares the fair value to the carrying amount of the assets as
of the beginning of the fiscal year, and pursuant to the requirements of
Statement 142 will be completed during the first quarter of 2002. Any
impairment loss resulting from the transitional impairment tests will be
reflected as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
first quarter of 2002. Alabama National has not yet determined what effect
these impairment tests will have on earnings and financial position.
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities--A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125
Effective January 1, 2001, Alabama National adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities--A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125
("Statement 140"). Statement 140 is effective for transfers occurring after
March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and
collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of
Statement 140 did not have a material impact on Alabama National's financial
statements since the Company has not entered into any securitization or asset
transfer transactions.
Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities
Effective January 1, 2001, Alabama National adopted Statement of Financial
Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, ("Statement 133"). Statement 133 standardizes the accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, by requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them at fair
value. If certain conditions are met, an entity may elect to designate a
derivative instrument as a hedging instrument. Statement 133 generally
provides for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging
instrument with the recognition of (a) the changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the
earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. Statement 133, as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date
of SFAS No. 133, and by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138,
Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--
An Amendment of SFAS No. 133, is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000, and is effective for interim periods in the initial year of
adoption. Alabama National's derivative activities at December 31, 2001 relate
solely to the interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs), which Alabama National
has entered into with certain customers for specific short-term periods of
time. These IRLCs relate to prospective mortgage loans, which Alabama National
originates and then immediately transfers to secondary mortgage servicers. The
transfer of these IRLCs allows Alabama National to pass financial risk
associated with potential changes in interest rates on to secondary mortgage
servicers. Alabama National also reduces its financial risk associated with
mortgage lending by utilizing "best efforts" agreements with secondary
mortgage servicers. These arrangements relieve Alabama National of its
obligation to deliver if a mortgage loan fails to close. The adoption of
Statement 133 did not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of Alabama National, as of and for the period ended
December 31, 2001.
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
44
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Alabama National BanCorporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Alabama National BanCorporation and its
subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2001, 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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.

ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
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 eleven 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.
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.
Related premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted on these investments
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 market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities
classified as available for sale are carried as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
Trading securities, principally obligations of U.S. government agencies, are
securities held for sale and are stated at market. Bond purchases and sales
are recorded on the trade date. Accounts receivable from and accounts payable
to bond customers and dealers are included in other assets and liabilities and
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
of the period in which they occur.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are computed using the specific
identification method.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses--Interest income with respect to loans
is accrued on the principal amount outstanding, except for interest on certain
consumer loans which is recognized over the term of the loan using a method
which approximates level yields.
Certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected future
cash flows using 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.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes the collection of principal is unlikely. The
allowance is the amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
possible losses on existing loans which may become uncollectible, based on
evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The
F-8
ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
loan problems, 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. 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. Estimated
useful lives generally are as follows:
Buildings..................................................... 5-45 years
Leasehold improvements........................................ 10-30 years
Furniture, equipment, and vault............................... 3-30 years
Other Real Estate--Other real estate, primarily property acquired by
foreclosure, is capitalized at the lower of fair value less estimated selling
costs or cost of the property or loan immediately prior to its classification
as other real estate. Other real estate is not depreciated. Losses,
representing the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of
the property, are recorded immediately, while gains on sales financed by the
Company are deferred until the initial and continuing investment by the
borrower equals or exceeds specified equity percentages. Gains on all other
sales are recorded immediately.
Intangible Assets--Intangible assets consist of the excess of cost over the
fair value of net assets of acquired businesses and core deposit assets. The
excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses, which
totaled approximately $17,919,000 and $13,430,000, and had related accumulated
amortization of approximately $3,106,000 and $2,588,000 at December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively, is being amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 25
years, using either the straight-line or double-declining balance methods of
amortization. Core deposit intangibles, which totaled approximately $6,970,000
and $5,786,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and had related
accumulated amortization of approximately $2,908,000 and $2,281,000 at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are being amortized over seven to
ten year periods using either the straight-line or double-declining balance
methods of amortization. The carrying value of the excess of cost over net
assets of subsidiaries acquired is reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest
that it may be impaired. If warranted, analysis, including undiscounted income
projections, are made to determine if adjustments to the carrying value or
amortization periods are necessary. No such adjustments were required or made
during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 or 1999.
Software costs--Software costs with a recorded cost of approximately
$3,491,000 and $3,487,000 and related accumulated amortization of
approximately $2,566,000 and $2,445,000 are included in other assets at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Amortization expense related to
these costs of approximately $338,000, $291,000, and $290,000 was recorded in
2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Income Taxes--Deferred income taxes are provided on all temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of
assets and liabilities.

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 service period. The Company has fully
adopted and implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and has recorded compensation costs
in accordance with these provisions. As such, no additional pro forma expenses
or disclosure requirements exist for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999.
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, 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 2001 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards--Effective January 1, 2001, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities--A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125 (Statement 140).
Statement 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and
for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of Statement 140 did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements since the
Company has not entered into any securitization or asset transfer
transactions.
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, (Statement 133), as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, and by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--An Amendment of SFAS
No. 133. Statement 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, by
requiring that an entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure them at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, an entity may elect to designate a derivative instrument
as a hedging instrument. Statement 133 generally provides for matching the
timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the
recognition of (a) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the earnings effect
of the hedged forecasted transaction. The Company's derivative activities at
December 31, 2001, relate solely to the interest rate lock commitments
(IRLCs), which the Company has entered into with certain customers for
specific short-term periods of time. These IRLCs relate to prospective
mortgage loans, which the Company originates and immediately transfers to
secondary mortgage servicers. The transfer of these IRLCs allows the Company
to pass financial risk associated with potential changes in interest rates on
to secondary mortgage servicers. The Company also reduces its financial risk
associated with mortgage lending by utilizing "best efforts" agreements with
secondary mortgage servicers. These agreements relieve the Company of its
liability to deliver if a mortgage loan fails to close. The adoption of
Statement 133 as of January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company, as of and for the
period ended December 31, 2001.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
(Statement 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement
142). Statement 141 supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No.
16, Business Combinations. The provisions of Statement 141 (1) require that
the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001, (2) provide specific criteria for the initial
recognition and measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and (3)
require that unamortized negative goodwill be written off immediately as an
extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized. Statement 141 also
requires that upon adoption of Statement 142 the Company reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based
on certain criteria. Statement 142 supercedes APB 17, Intangible Assets, and
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Statement 142
primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets
subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of Statement 142 (1)
prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets,
(2) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur
indicating that the carrying value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived
intangible assets may be impaired), (3) require that reporting units be
identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of
goodwill, and (4) remove the forty-year limitation on the amortization period
of intangible assets that have finite lives.
The Company will adopt the provisions of Statement 142 effective January 1,
2002. The Company is in the process of preparing for its adoption of Statement
142 and is making the determinations as to what its reporting units are and
what amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, other assets, and liabilities
should be allocated to those reporting units. In connection with the adoption
of Statement 142, the Company does not expect to reclassify any balances
between goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company expects that it will
no longer record approximately $506,000 of annual amortization expense
relating to its existing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The
Company will also evaluate the useful lives assigned to its intangible assets
and does not anticipate any changes to the useful lives currently assigned.
Statement 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually for impairment using
a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment and,
in transition, this step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal
year. However, a company has six months from the date of adoption to complete
the first step. The Company expects to complete that first step of the
goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of 2002. The second step of
the goodwill impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss
(measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any, and must be
completed by the end of the Company's fiscal year. Intangible assets deemed to
have an indefinite life will be tested for impairment using a one-step process
which compares the fair value to the carrying amount of the assets as of the
beginning of the fiscal year, and pursuant to the requirements of Statement
142 will be completed during the first quarter of 2002. Any impairment loss
resulting from the transitional impairment tests will be reflected as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of
2002. The Company has not yet determined what effect these impairment tests
will have on the Company's earnings and financial position.
2. Business Combinations
On December 14, 2001, the Company acquired Farmers National BancShares, Inc.
(Farmers) in a business combination accounted for under the purchase method.
The Company issued approximately 550,000 shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents to existing Farmers shareholders at an exchange ratio of
0.53125 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of Farmers stock.
Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, the operations of Farmers,
which had total assets of approximately $188 million at the date of
acquisition, were merged into First American Bank, a subsidiary of the
Company.

========
The acquisition of Farmers created $6,247,000 of intangible assets. The
Company allocated $1,184,000 of the total intangible created to core deposits.
This allocation was based upon the Company's valuation of the core deposits of
Farmers. Factors considered in the valuation included: (1) the rate and
maturity structure of Farmers interest-bearing liabilities (2) estimated
retention rates for each deposit liability category and (3) the current
interest rate environment. The core deposit intangible created will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. The remaining intangible
created was allocated to goodwill and will be tested at least annually for
impairment.
On January 31, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Peoples State
Bank of Groveland, Florida (Peoples) in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests. The Company issued approximately 735,000 shares of its
common stock to existing Peoples shareholders at an exchange ratio of 1.164
shares of the Company's common stock for each share of Peoples stock. Peoples
had assets of approximately $123 million at the date of acquisition. Pursuant
to pooling of interests accounting treatment, the financial statements for all
periods presented have been restated to reflect the results of operations of
the companies on a combined basis from the earliest period presented, except
for dividends per share.
On August 4, 2000, First American Bank, a subsidiary of the Company,
completed the acquisition of two banking branches in Madison and Huntsville,
Alabama. The acquisition increased loans and deposits by approximately
$68.9 million and $54.0 million, respectively. The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase transaction.
In the third quarter of 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized the repurchase of 121,129 shares of common stock. This repurchase,
which was completed during the third quarter at a cost of approximately
$3,226,000, was specifically related to the Company's issuance of an identical
number of shares to acquire Rankin Insurance Agency during May 1999 in a
purchase business combination.

========== ==========
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 $45,685,000 and
$57,266,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During 2001 and 2000,
new loans of $25,120,000 and $42,844,000 were funded and repayments totaled
$36,701,000 and $38,010,000, respectively.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced
amounted to approximately $7,563,000 and $3,642,000 at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. If these loans had been current throughout their terms,
gross interest income for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, would have increased by approximately $406,000 and $498,000.
Other real estate at December 31, 2001 and 2000 totaled $1,680,000 and
$1,468,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the recorded investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized totaled $7,563,000 and $3,642,000,
respectively, and these loans had a corresponding valuation allowance of $0
and $57,000. 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 recognized no interest on impaired loans during the
portion of the year that they were impaired. The impaired loans at December
31, 2001 and 2000 were measured for impairment primarily using the fair value
of the collateral.
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.

9. Leases
One of the Company's subsidiary banks leases its main office building from a
partnership, which includes a director and a stockholder of the Company, under
a noncancelable operating lease expiring in 2020. Leases classified as capital
leases include branch offices with a net book value of approximately $47,000
at December 31, 2001. Additionally, several subsidiary banks lease branch
offices and equipment under operating leases.
Minimum future rental payments for the capital and operating leases are as
follows (in thousands):

Rent expense charged to operations under operating lease agreements for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was approximately $1,768,000,
$1,522,000 and $1,268,000, respectively, of which approximately $1,004,000,
$999,000 and $958,000, respectively, during 2001, 2000, and 1999 relate to
leases with related parties.
10. 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, 2001 and 2000, unused commitments under lines of credit
aggregated approximately $502,299,000 and $448,709,000, of which approximately
$15,100,000 and $19,174,000 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 $16,378,000 and $18,815,000 in irrevocable
standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000, of which
approximately $87,000 and $319,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
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 legal counsel's opinion, 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.
11. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company, through two of its subsidiary Banks, sponsors two defined
benefit pension plans. Each of these plans has been frozen with regard to
future benefit accruals and participation by new employees.
The components of net pension expense (income) for the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 are as follows (in thousands):

of plan assets were $1,404,000, $1,404,000 and $1,001,000, respectively, as of
December 31, 2001.
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 participants' contributions up to the first 5% of each
participant's salary. The Company's matching contribution charged to
operations related to this plan, as well as other plans of merged banks, was
approximately $1,282,000, $971,000 and $537,000 for the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, 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 commence March 15, 1997 and March 15, 2002, or at his death,
if earlier, 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, 2001 and 2000, the cash surrender value of the
policies was $2,512,000 and $2,403,000, 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
certain presidents, employees and directors of such banks. The total cash
surrender value of such policies at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $11,416,000
and $10,170,000, respectively. The Company recorded expense of $93,000 and
$39,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively for these
plans.
The Company sponsors a Performance Share Plan (the PSP) to offer long-term
incentives in addition to current compensation to key executives. The criteria
for payment of performance share awards is based upon a comparison of the
Company's average return on average equity for an award period to that of a
comparison group of bank holding companies. If the Company's results are below
the median of the comparison group, no portion of the award is earned. If the
Company's results are at or above the 90th percentile, the maximum award is
earned. The vesting period for awards is 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 23,000, 22,500 and
14,150 shares was made in each of the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The market value per share was $22.00, $18.88 and $26.75
at each grant date for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, 22,186, and
21,082 shares, respectively, were awarded to participants. At December 31,
2001, outstanding awards of expected and maximum payouts were 106,471 and
113,390 shares, respectively. Expense recorded for the PSP was $561,000,
$653,000 and $541,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
The Company has a separate Performance Share Plan to provide long-term
incentives to non-employee directors of a subsidiary bank (the 1997 Subsidiary
PSP) and made a base grant of 20,000 shares, with a market value per share of
$25.13, to vest over a sixty-three month period. The actual number of shares
to be distributed in fiscal 2002 will depend on the subsidiary bank's
performance as well as certain conditions to be met by the directors. At
December 31, 2001, the expected and maximum payout was 18,261 shares, net of
forfeitures. Expense recorded for the 1997 Subsidiary PSP was $84,000, $84,000
and $77,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
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
directors. At December 31, 2001, the expected and maximum payout was 25,000
shares. Expense recorded for the 2000 Subsidiary PSP was $90,000 and $30,000
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
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,
145,500 stock options were outstanding at December 31, 2001. Expense recorded
for the LTI Plan was $124,000 and $199,000 for the years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively.

During 2001, the Company did not grant any stock options. The per share
weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2000 and 1999 was
$5.18 and $6.17, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2000--
expected volatility 25.6%, expected dividend yield 3.5%, risk-free interest
rate of 5.9%, and an expected life of 7.0 years; 1999--expected volatility
25.0%, expected dividend yield 3.0%, risk-free interest rate of 6.0%, and an
expected life of 7.0 years. Total compensation expense recorded for the fixed

Additionally, the Company and three of its subsidiary banks maintain
deferral of compensation plans for certain directors who are not employees of
the Company. Under the plans, a non-employee director 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
the director specifies 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. Dividends earned on stock equivalent portions are
credited to the deferral or compensation account in the form of additional
stock equivalents. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the amount deferred under
the terms of these plans totaled $1,730,000 and $1,285,000, respectively. For
the years ending December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, approximately $445,000,
$410,000 and $418,000, 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. Expense recognized under the plan was $17,000, $18,000 and $18,000
in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At December 31, 2001, amounts payable
under the plan totaled $116,000.
In connection with the Farmers merger during 2001, the Company assumed an
employee stock ownership plan with 401(k) provisions. Concurrent with the
Farmers merger, the employee stock ownership plan was terminated. The Company
intends to liquidate the employee stock ownership plan pending receipt of a
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service.

ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
Cash, Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Cash Balances, and Federal Funds
Sold--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 fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using
the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Federal Funds Purchased, Short-Term Borrowings, and Long-Term Debt--The
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit--All commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit have original terms, at their
issuance, of one year or less; therefore, the fair value of these instruments
does not materially differ fdrom their stated value.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and

16. Regulatory
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, 2001,
the required reserves totaled $11,420,000.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, securities with carrying values of
$223,534,000 and $246,924,000, 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, 2001, $50,852,000 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 statements. 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, 2001, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it
is subject.
As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the Federal
Reserve Bank categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized
the Company 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.
The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Company at December 31, 2001
and 2000 are presented in the table below (in thousands):

17. 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. During
2001, the Company changed its reportable segment disclosure to present the
combined results of operations for the securities brokerage and trust
divisions into a consolidated segment. This change is due to the similar
customer base and products offered by these divisions and reflects
management's view that these formerly separate segments should be combined for
both internal and external monitoring and reporting. 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, 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.
