FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. In addition, Alabama National BanCorporation (“Alabama National”), through its senior management, from time to time makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future operations and performance and other developments. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting Alabama National’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and various factors could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Such factors could include those identified from time to time in Alabama National’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements, including the factors described in Alabama National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. With respect to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for Alabama National, these factors include the rate of growth in the economy, especially in the Southeast, the relative strength and weakness in the consumer and commercial credit sectors and in the real estate markets and the performance of the stock and bond markets. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the date of this report, and Alabama National undertakes no obligation to revise these statements following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002
 
NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 are subject to year-end audit and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Alabama National’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
NOTE B—COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Alabama National’s subsidiary banks make loan commitments and incur contingent liabilities in the normal course of business, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. As of June 30, 2002, the total unfunded commitments which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition totaled $567.8 million. A majority of these commitments expire within one year.
 
NOTE C—RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangibles
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” having a required effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
 
Alabama National adopted the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS No.142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $521,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared with 2001 due to the cessation of goodwill amortization. Under the transitional provisions of SFAS No. 142, Alabama National identified its reporting units and performed impairment tests on the net goodwill associated with each of the reporting units. The testing resulted in no impairment losses to any recorded goodwill.
 
The recorded amount of goodwill increased during the first quarter of 2002 from $14.8 million at December 31, 2001, to $15.3 million at March 31, 2002, and was unchanged during the second quarter of 2002. The increase during the first quarter was attributable to items related to the fourth quarter acquisition of Farmers National Bank of Opelika.

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Alabama National’s intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and customer lists associated with the acquisition of an insurance agency and each are considered to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2002, was $7.4 million with a balance of $3.3 million in accumulated amortization. As a result of adoption of the Statements, there have been no changes to amortizable lives or methods for intangible assets that have finite useful lives. The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $190,000 and $157,000, respectively. The amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $374,000 and $315,000, respectively. The estimated amortization expense (assuming no activities, such as acquisitions, which would result in additional amortizable intangible assets) for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.    This Statement applies to legal obligations associated with retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on Alabama National’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, that replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Alabama National adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002, and the adoption did not have a material impact on Alabama National’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
 
Accounting for Gains & Losses from the Extinguishment of Debt Instruments
 
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No 145 relates to the recording of losses from the extinguishment of debt to be classified as operating income, as opposed to previous requirements which reflected such gains and losses as extraordinary. Statement No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after May 15, 2002. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on Alabama National’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
 
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
 
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on Alabama National’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition of Alabama National and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods indicated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of Alabama National conform with generally accepted accounting principles and with general financial services industry practices.
 
This information should be read in conjunction with Alabama National’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing in Alabama National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
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 appearing in Alabama National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Some of the more complex technical accounting policies require management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the valuation of reported assets and liabilities, including associated revenues, expenses, and disclosure. The following briefly describes the more complex policies involving a significant amount of judgment 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 judgments to be made by management. Some of the more critical judgments supporting the amount Alabama National’s allowance for loan losses methodology and estimates include judgments about: credit worthiness of borrowers, estimated value of underlying collateral, assumptions about cash flow, determination of loss factors for estimating credit losses, and the impact of current events, conditions, and other factors impacting the level of probable 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 Alabama National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Other
 
There are other complex accounting standards that require Alabama National to employ significant judgment in interpreting and applying certain of the principles proscribed by those standards. These judgments include, but are not limited to, determination of whether a financial instrument or other contract meets the definition of a derivative in accordance with SFAS No. 133, the accounting for a transfer of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 140, and the determination of asset impairment,

including when such impairment is other-than-temporary. For a more complete discussion of the accounting policies see Note 1 to Alabama National’s consolidated financial statements included in Alabama National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
Performance Overview
 
Alabama National’s net income was $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2002 (the “2002 second quarter”), compared to $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2001 (the “2001 second quarter”). Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 (the “2002 six months”) was $17.4 million, compared to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 (the “2001 six months”). Net income per diluted common share for the 2002 and 2001 second quarters was $0.69 and $0.58, respectively. For the 2002 six months, net income per diluted common share was $1.38, compared to $1.06 for the 2001 six months. Net income for the 2001 six months, excluding after tax merger-related charges of $781,000 relating to the Peoples State Bank merger, totaled $12.8 million (“Adjusted 2001 Net Income”).

Net Income
 
Alabama National experienced a significant increase in net interest income and noninterest income for each of the 2002 second quarter and the 2002 six months, compared to the same periods in 2001. Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest bearing assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income increased by $7.1 million, or 33.8%, to $28.3 million during the 2002 second quarter. Net interest income increased to $55.4 million during the 2002 six months, from $41.5 million during the 2001 six months, representing an increase of $13.9 million, or 33.5%. The increased net interest income in each of these periods, as described in more detail below, is attributable to the repricing of interest bearing liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first six months of 2002. During the 2002 second quarter noninterest income totaled $13.4 million, compared to $11.4 million in the 2001 second quarter, an increase of 17.2%. During the 2002 six months Alabama National recorded noninterest income of $26.6 million, compared to $23.2 million during the 2001 six months, an increase of 14.6%. The increase in noninterest income in each of these periods is attributable to increased revenue from both the mortgage division and the securities brokerage and trust division. Service charges on deposit accounts also increased during each period of 2002. The increases in noninterest income and net interest income were offset by increases in noninterest expense of $5.9 million, to $27.6 million for the 2002 second quarter, and $9.4 million, to $54.0 million for the 2002 six months, compared to $21.7 million and $44.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2001. The net income for the 2001 six months includes after-tax merger-related charges relating to the Peoples State Bank merger totaling $781,000. These charges on a pre-tax basis consist of approximately $135,000 in legal and accounting fees, $385,000 in employment-related expenses, $300,000 in advisory fees/commissions, $121,000 in technology conversion charges, and $57,000 in other charges. These pre-tax charges increased noninterest expense for the 2001 six months by $997,000.

Average earning assets for the 2002 second quarter and six months increased by $440.7 million and $444.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $384.2 million and $393.5 million during the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2001. The average taxable equivalent rate earned on assets was 6.61% and 6.70% for the 2002 second quarter and 2002 six months, compared to 8.00% and 8.25% for the 2001 second quarter and 2001 six months, respectively. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.74% and 2.83% for the 2002 second quarter and 2002 six months, respectively, compared to 4.83% and 5.08% for the 2001 second quarter and 2001 six months, respectively. The net interest margin was 4.17% and 4.16% for the 2002 second quarter and 2002 six months, respectively, compared to 3.72% and 3.74% for the 2001 second quarter and 2001 six months, respectively. The increased net interest margin is due to Alabama National’s ability to reprice most of its time deposits at a lower rate during the 2001 fourth quarter and the 2002 first six months. The Federal Reserve Bank reduced interest rates repeatedly during 2001, causing time deposits originated in a higher rate environment to be significantly higher than current rates. As those time deposits matured, the funds were either moved into transaction type deposit accounts or into another time deposit at the lower current rates. The result is that the company’s interest bearing liability costs fell more than its yield on earning assets. The net interest margin increased slightly (2 basis points) during the 2002 second quarter as compared the 2002 first quarter’s net interest margin of 4.15%. Management anticipates the net interest margin to remain stable at current levels, absent any additional rate reductions by the Federal Reserve or significant changes in the general interest rate environment.
 
The following tables depict, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 2002 and 2001 second quarter and six months, certain information related to Alabama National’s average balance sheet and its average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Such yields or costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of the associated assets or liabilities.

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to current earnings necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of non-performing loans, the level of potential problem loans, historical loan loss experience, and the amount of loan losses actually charged against the allowance during a given period and current economic conditions. The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $1.3 million recorded during the 2001 second quarter and six months respectively. The increased provision during the 2002 periods is attributable to an increase in potential problem loans, an increase in nonperforming loans and growth in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was 1.48% at June 30, 2002, compared to 1.45% at December 31, 2001.
 
Because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the assessment process, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required. See Asset Quality.
 
Total noninterest income for the 2002 second quarter was $13.4 million, compared to $11.4 million for the 2001 second quarter, an increase of 17.2%. For the 2002 six months, noninterest income increased to $26.6 million, compared to $23.2 million for the 2001 six months, an increase of 14.6%. The components of noninterest income include service charges on deposits, investment services revenue, securities brokerage and trust revenue, insurance commissions, bank owned life insurance, and fees relating to the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Service charges on deposits for the 2002 second quarter and 2001 second quarter were $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the 2002 six months, service charge income increased to $5.6 million, from $4.6 million for the 2001 six months. The increased service charges for each period of 2002 is attributable to service charge income earned on Farmers National transaction accounts (a purchase acquisition closed in fourth quarter of 2001) and an increased number of transaction accounts at existing banks. Revenue from the investment division totaled $2.6 million in the 2002 second quarter, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 8.1%, as compared to $2.8 million recorded in the 2001 second quarter. During the 2002 six months the investment division revenue totaled $5.6 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 13.1%, as compared to $6.5 million in the 2001 six months. The revenue generated by the investment division is dependent upon the demand for fixed income securities by its customers that include correspondent community banks and corporate customers. During 2001, the investment division had a record year benefiting from increased liquidity of community banks and falling interest rates, both of which led to increased demand for fixed income securities by its customers. Although lower than the 2001 six months, the $5.6 million in investment division revenue in the 2002 six months remains relatively high as compared with historical levels. Securities brokerage and trust revenue increased 44.3%, to $3.1 million, in the 2002 second quarter, compared to $2.2 million in the 2001 second quarter. For the 2002 six months securities brokerage and trust revenue totaled $5.9 million, as compared to $4.5 million during the 2001 six months, an increase of 30.5%. The increase in the securities brokerage and trust division revenue during each period of 2002 is attributable to continued expansion in the number of customers and total customer assets under management by these departments, as well as an increase in the number of registered representatives, offset slightly by a decline in margin account lending revenue. Insurance commissions totaled $0.6 million and $1.1 million, during the 2002 second quarter and 2002 six months, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $1.0 million, recorded in the same periods during 2001. Fees generated from the origination and sale of mortgages increased to $2.1 million for the 2002 second quarter, from $1.9 million in the 2001 second quarter, representing an 11.0% increase. During the 2002 six months mortgage fees increased to $4.6 million from $3.2 million during the 2001 six months, an increase of 40.4%. This increase is primarily a result of declining interest rates and the impact the interest rate environment has on refinancing and new mortgage origination activity. Such activity was strong in each of the 2002 quarters as well as the 2001 second quarter, but was weak in the 2001 first quarter. Other noninterest income increased to $1.3 million for the 2002 second quarter, compared to $1.1 million during the 2001 second quarter. Other noninterest income increased to $2.4 million during the 2002 six months, an increase of 5.6%, compared to $2.2 million recorded in the 2001 six months.

Noninterest expense was $27.6 million for the 2002 second quarter, compared to $21.7 million for the 2001 second quarter. For the 2002 six months, noninterest expense was $54.0 million, compared to $44.6 million for the 2001 six months. The 2001 six months includes $1.0 million of merger-related charges associated with the acquisition of Peoples State Bank. Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, commission based compensation, occupancy and equipment expenses and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were $14.3 million for the 2002 second quarter, compared to $10.8 million for the 2001 second quarter. For the 2002 six months, salaries and employee benefits were $27.8 million, compared to $22.1 million in the 2001 six months. The 2002 second quarter and six months includes the salaries and employee benefit expense for Farmers National Bank of Opelika which was acquired during the fourth quarter of 2001 and accounted for as a purchase transaction. Also contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits were general staffing increases concurrent with expansion of offices and business lines. Performance based (or bonus) compensation increases were also higher in the 2002 quarter and six months than in the same periods of 2001 due to achievement of higher performance levels. Commission based compensation was $3.5 million for the 2002 second quarter, compared to $2.8 million for the 2001 second quarter. For the 2002 six months, commission based compensation was $7.0 million, compared to $5.9 million in the 2001 six months. The increase in commission based compensation during these periods is attributable to increased production in the mortgage and securities brokerage and trust divisions, as a significant portion of the compensation in these divisions is production based. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $2.9 million in the 2002 second quarter and $2.5 million in the 2001 second quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $5.6 million in the 2002 six months and $5.0 million in the 2001 six months. A majority of the increase during these periods is due to the effect of the Farmers National acquisition, but also contributing to the increase is the effect of recent branch expansions. Other noninterest expense increased to $6.7 million in the 2002 second quarter, compared with $5.3 million in the 2001 second quarter. Other noninterest expense was $13.3 million in the 2002 six months and $11.2 million in the 2001 six months.
 
Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $4.1 million for the 2002 second quarter, compared to $3.2 million for the 2001 second quarter. For the 2002 six months, income tax expense was $8.1 million, compared to $5.9 million for the 2001 six months. The effective tax rates for the 2002 second quarter and the 2002 six months were 31.8% and 31.6%, respectively, compared to 31.4% and 31.7% for the same periods of 2001. These effective tax rates are impacted by items of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state taxation.
 
Earning Assets
 
Loans comprised the largest single category of Alabama National’s earning assets on June 30, 2002.

The carrying value of investment securities increased $40.8 million in the 2002 six months, from $234.8 million at December 31, 2001, to $275.6 million, at June 30, 2002. During the 2002 six months, Alabama National purchased $94.8 million of investment securities and received $54.0 million from maturities, including principal paydowns of mortgage backed securities.
 
The carrying value of securities available for sale increased $48.4 million in the 2002 six months from $332.9 million at December 31, 2001, to $381.3 million, at June 30, 2002. Purchases of available for sale securities totaled $241.0 million and maturities, calls, and sales of available for sale securities totaled $195.4 million. Unrealized gains on available for sale securities totaled $2.8 million net of income taxes, during the 2002 six months. June 30, 2002 balances were higher than average balances during the quarter due to the purchase of approximately $49.9 million in short-term securities to use as collateral for deposits made by customers into securities sold under agreements to repurchase accounts. Because Alabama National expects these particular deposits to be short-term in nature, it purchased short maturity securities for collateral purposes.
 
Trading account securities, which had a balance of zero at June 30, 2002, are securities owned by Alabama National prior to sale and delivery to Alabama National’s customers. It is the policy of Alabama National to limit positions in such securities to reduce its exposure to market and interest rate changes. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell totaled $74.4 million at June 30, 2002 and $32.2 million at December 31, 2001.
 
Deposits and Other Funding Sources
 
Deposits increased by $151.3 million from year-end 2001, to $2.22 billion at June 30, 2002. All categories of deposits experienced growth during the 2002 six months. Average deposits grew $326.3 million, or 17.9%, during the 2002 six months, compared to the 2001 six months. Average deposits grew by more than ending deposits due to the December 14, 2001 Farmers National acquisition.
 
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $340.8 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $100.7 million, from December 31, 2001. The treasury, tax and loan account decreased

to $1.3 million at June 30, 2002, compared with $3.5 million at December 31, 2001. Short-term borrowings at June 30, 2002 totaled $72.1 million, including a note payable to a third party bank of $19.1 million and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) totaling $53.0 million. Alabama National was able to decrease its reliance on funding from the FHLB due to an increase in deposits during the first six months of 2002.

Asset Quality
 
        Nonperforming loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans in which the terms have been restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. At June 30, 2002, Alabama National had no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, as it is Alabama National’s policy to place a delinquent loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts that the borrower’s financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest that is accrued on the loan is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual writedown or charge-off of the principal balance of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to the allowance for loan losses.
 
At June 30, 2002, nonperforming assets totaled $10.0 million, compared to $9.2 million at year-end 2001. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans plus other real estate were 0.48% at June 30, 2002, compared to 0.47% at December 31, 2001. The following table presents Alabama National’s nonperforming assets for the dates indicated.

        The loan portfolio is periodically reviewed to evaluate the outstanding loans and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes a review of delinquency trends, actual losses and internal credit ratings. Based on this analysis, management considers the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2002 to be adequate to cover possible loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the evaluation process, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required.
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity
 
Alabama National monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by Alabama National is simulation analysis, which technique is augmented by “gap” analysis.
 
In simulation analysis, Alabama National reviews each individual asset and liability category and its projected behavior in various different interest rate environments. These projected behaviors are based upon management’s past experiences and upon current competitive environments, including the various environments in the different markets in which Alabama National competes. Using this projected behavior and differing rate scenarios as inputs, the simulation analysis generates as output a projection of net interest income. Alabama National also periodically verifies the validity of this approach by comparing actual results with those that were projected in previous models. See Market Risk.
 
Another technique used by Alabama National in interest rate management is the measurement of the interest sensitivity “gap,” which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets and liabilities, selling securities available for sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity or by adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability.
 
Alabama National evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates guidelines regarding asset generation and repricing, and sources and prices of off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease interest

sensitivity risk. Alabama National uses computer simulations to measure the net income effect of various interest rate scenarios. The modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net income over specified periods of time.
 
The following table illustrates Alabama National’s interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 2002, assuming relevant assets and liabilities are collected and paid, respectively, based upon historical experience rather than their stated maturities.

Alabama National generally benefits from increasing market rates of interest when it has an asset-sensitive gap and generally benefits from decreasing market rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. Alabama National is liability sensitive through the one year time frame, except for the zero through three month period. However, Alabama National’s gap analysis is not a precise indicator of its interest sensitivity position. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing of maturities and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid

26


Table of Contents
on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those rates are viewed by management as significantly less interest-sensitive than market-based rates, such as those paid on non-core deposits. Also, due to the current low interest rate environment, the rate paid on Alabama National’s interest-bearing accounts cannot decrease as much as rates earned on interest earning assets and would create significant spread compression if rates were to decrease from current levels. Accordingly, management believes that a liability-sensitive gap position is not as indicative of Alabama National’s true interest sensitivity as it would be for an organization which depends to a greater extent on purchased funds to support earning assets. Net interest income may be affected by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
 
Market Risk
 
Alabama National’s earnings are dependent on its net interest income which is the difference between interest income earned on all earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on all interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Alabama National’s market risk arises primarily from inherent interest rate risk in its lending, investing and deposit gathering activities. Alabama National seeks to reduce its exposure to market risk through actively monitoring and managing its interest rate risk. Management relies upon static “gap” analysis to determine the degree of mismatch in the maturity and repricing distribution of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which quantifies, to a large extent, the degree of market risk inherent in Alabama National’s balance sheet. Gap analysis is further augmented by simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of varying levels of prevailing interest rates and the sensitivity of specific earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to changes in those prevailing rates. Simulation analysis consists of evaluating the impact on net interest income given changes from 200 basis points below to 200 basis points above the current prevailing rates.
 
Management makes certain assumptions as to the effect varying levels of interest rates have on certain earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, which assumptions consider both historical experience and consensus estimates of outside sources.
 
With respect to the primary earning assets, loans and securities, certain features of individual types of loans and specific securities introduce uncertainty as to their expected performance at varying levels of interest rates. In some cases, prepayment options exist whereby the borrower may elect to repay the obligation at any time. These prepayment options make anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in prevailing rates. At June 30, 2002, mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $511.2 million, or 16.3% of total assets, and essentially every loan, net of unearned income, (totaling $2.08 billion, or 66.1% of total assets), carried such prepayment options. Management believes that assumptions used in its simulation analysis about the performance of financial instruments with such prepayment options are appropriate. However, the actual performance of these financial instruments may differ from management’s estimates due to several factors, including the diversity and financial sophistication of the customer base, the general level of prevailing interest rates and the relationship to their historical levels, and general economic conditions. The difference between those assumptions and actual results, if significant, could cause the actual results to differ from those indicated by the simulation analysis.
 
Deposits totaled $2.22 billion, or 70.5% of total assets, at June 30, 2002. 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

27


Table of Contents
compression are reasonable. However, if the degree of spread compression varies from that expected, the actual results could differ from those indicated by the simulation analysis.
 
The following table illustrates the results of simulation analysis used by Alabama National to determine the extent to which market risk would 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 low interest rate environment, Alabama National’s net interest income would decrease significantly if prevailing interest rates were to further 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.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy
 
        Alabama National’s net loan to deposit ratio was 93.6% at June 30, 2002, compared to 95.0% at year-end 2001. Alabama National’s liquid assets as a percentage of total deposits were 8.0% at June 30, 2002, compared to 5.9% at year-end 2001. At June 30, 2002, Alabama National had unused federal funds lines of approximately $140.7 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $250.7 million and an unused credit line with a third party bank of $15.9 million. Alabama National also has access to approximately $143.2 million via a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2002 and year-end 2001, there were no outstanding borrowings under this Federal Reserve credit facility. Management analyzes the level of off-balance sheet assets such as unfunded loan commitments and outstanding letters of credit as they relate to the levels of cash, cash equivalents, liquid investments, and available funds lines in an attempt to minimize the possibility that a potential liquidity shortfall will exist. Based on this analysis, management believes that Alabama National has adequate liquidity to meet short-term operating requirements. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.
 
Alabama National’s stockholders’ equity increased by $13.6 million from December 31, 2001, to $221.5 million at June 30, 2002. This increase was attributable to the following components (in thousands):

A strong capital position is vital to the continued profitability of Alabama National because it promotes depositor and investor confidence and provides a solid foundation for future growth of the organization. The capital of Alabama National and its subsidiary banks (the “Banks”) exceeded all prescribed regulatory capital guidelines at June 30, 2002. Under the capital guidelines of their regulators, Alabama National and the Banks are currently required to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. In addition, Alabama National and the Banks must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 3%, but this minimum ratio is increased by 100 to 200 basis points for other than the highest rated institutions.
