ALABAMA NATIONAL BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 are subject to year-end audit and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Alabama Nationals Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
NOTE B COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Alabama Nationals 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, 2004, the total unfunded commitments which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition totaled $919.3 million. A majority of these commitments will expire in less than one year.
Alabama National, in the normal course of business, is subject to various pending and threatened litigation. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty Alabama Nationals potential exposure from pending and threatened litigation, based on current knowledge and advice of legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from such litigation will have a material adverse effect on Alabama Nationals financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE C RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Statement No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Statement 132). Statement 132 requires enhanced disclosures for defined benefit pension plans. Statement 132 requires companies to provide more details about their plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, benefit obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. The disclosures required by Statement 132 are effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, except for disclosures regarding estimated future benefit payments. Disclosures regarding estimated future benefit payments will be required for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The interim-period disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. See Note H Defined Benefit Pension Plan in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosures required by this statement. As Statement 132 relates to changes in disclosures, its adoption did not have an impact on Alabama Nationals financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3s application includes loans and debt securities acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investors estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investors initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loans yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3
11
prohibits carrying over or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Since the effective date for SOP 03-3 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, Alabama National can not determine the impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Historically, the only loans and debt securities Alabama National has purchased have been in acquisitions.
On March 9, 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, (SAB 105) to inform registrants of the Staffs view that the fair value of the recorded loan commitments should not consider the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The staff will not object to the application of existing accounting practices to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into on or before March 31, 2004, with appropriate disclosures. On April 1, 2004, Alabama National adopted the provisions of SAB 105. Alabama National records the value of its mortgage loan commitments at fair market value for mortgages it intends to sell. Alabama National does not currently include, and was not including, the value of mortgage servicing or any other internally-developed intangible assets in the valuation of its mortgage loan commitments. Therefore, the adoption of SAB 105 did not have an impact on Alabama Nationals financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 03-1, Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment (Issue 03-1). The Task Force reached a consensus on an other-than-temporary impairment model for debt and equity securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and cost method investments. The basic model developed by the Task Force in evaluating whether an investment within the scope of Issue 03-1 is other-than-temporarily impaired is as follows: Step 1: Determine whether the investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if its fair value is less than its cost. Step 2: Evaluate whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Step 3: If the impairment is other-than-temporary, recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investments cost and its fair value. The three-step model used to determine other-than-temporary impairments shall be applied prospectively to all current and future investments in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. Alabama National does not anticipate that the adoption of Issue 03-1 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Alabama National to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
As of June 30, 2004, Alabama National has securities with gross unrealized losses totaling $26.1 million. The losses for all securities are a direct result of rising interest rates and the effect that rising interest rates has on the value of debt securities and not the credit worthiness of the issuers. In addition, Alabama National has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. Therefore, Alabama National has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairments.

The acquisitions of Cypress and Indian River resulted in the recognition of $19.3 million and $81.8 million of intangible assets, respectively. Alabama National allocated $1.6 million and $7.5 million of the total intangible created to core deposits of Cypress and Indian River, respectively. This allocation was based upon Alabama Nationals valuation of the core deposits of Cypress and Indian River. Among the factors considered in the valuation included: (1) the rate and maturity structure of the interest bearing liabilities, (2) estimated retention rates for each deposit liability category, (3) the current interest rate environment and (4) estimated noninterest income potential of acquired relationships. The core deposit intangible created is being amortized on an accelerated basis not to exceed seven years. The remaining intangible created was allocated to goodwill.
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma results of operations for Alabama National, as if the Millennium Bank (Millennium), Cypress and Indian River acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 2004 and 2003. The results for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 were not affected as each acquired bank was included in the results of operations for the entire period. The results for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 were adjusted for Indian River and Cypress only, as Millennium was included for the entire period. Since no consideration is given to the operational efficiencies and expanded products and services, the pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations as they would have been, if the respective acquisitions had occurred at the indicated dates (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Basis of Presentation
The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition of Alabama National and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods indicated. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of Alabama National conform with generally accepted accounting principles and with general financial services industry practices.
Many of the comparisons of financial data from period to period presented in the following discussion have been rounded from actual values reported in the financial statements. The percentage changes presented herein are based on a comparison of the actual values recorded in the financial statements, not the rounded values.
Alabama National acquired Millennium Bank on June 19, 2003, Cypress Bankshares, Inc. on February 20, 2004 and Indian River Banking Company on February 27, 2004, using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations for Cypress Bank and Indian River National Bank are not included in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2003, and only 11 days of Millennium Banks results of operations are included in the 2003 periods. The three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 include Millennium for the entire periods but only include the results of operations of Cypress and Indian River subsequent to the acquisition date for each.
This information should be read in conjunction with Alabama Nationals unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Alabama Nationals Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Alabama Nationals accounting policies are critical to understanding the results of operations and financial position as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policies utilized by Alabama National are discussed in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Alabama Nationals Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Performance Overview
Alabama Nationals net income was $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2004 (the 2004 second quarter), compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2003 (the 2003 second quarter). Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (the 2004 six months) was $24.6 million, compared to $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 (the 2003 six months). Net income per diluted common share for the 2004 and 2003 second quarters was $0.84 and $0.80, respectively. For the 2004 six months, net income per diluted common share was $1.64, compared to $1.55 for the 2003 six months.
The annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.10% for the 2004 second quarter, compared to 1.15% for the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, the annualized return on average assets for Alabama National was 1.09%, compared to 1.15% for the 2003 six months. The annualized return on average stockholders equity decreased for the 2004 second quarter to 12.55%, as compared to 16.51% for the 2003 second quarter. The annualized return on average stockholders equity decreased for the 2004 six months to 12.80%, as compared to 16.36% for the 2003 six months. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders equity have each been negatively affected by recent acquisitions due to the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, which amount increased the denominator in both of these ratio calculations. Book value per share at June 30, 2004 was $27.48, an increase of $5.72 from year-end 2003, due primarily to the impact of first quarter acquisitions. Alabama National declared cash dividends totaling $0.625 per share on common stock during the 2004 six months, compared to $0.57 per share declared on common stock during the 2003 six months.
16
Net Income
The primary reasons for the increased net income during the 2004 second quarter and 2004 six months, compared to the same periods in 2003, are an increase in net interest income and the acquisitions of Cypress and Indian River. Net interest income for the 2004 second quarter totaled $39.6 million, a 34.9% increase over the $29.4 million recorded in the 2003 second quarter. During the 2004 six months net interest income totaled $74.3 million, a 29.5% increase compared to $57.4 million recorded in the 2003 six months. The increased net interest income was offset by a slight decline in total noninterest income recorded during the 2004 second quarter and six months. During the 2004 second quarter, total noninterest income was $19.3 million, a decrease of $2.3 million as compared to the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, noninterest income was $36.9 million, a decrease of 8.3% from $40.3 million recorded in the 2003 six months. The income from the sale of mortgage loans and income from investment services experienced a fairly significant decrease in each period of 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003. The revenue recorded in these two business segments during the 2003 second quarter and six months were both record levels for Alabama National.
Average earning assets for the 2004 second quarter and six months increased by $1.15 billion and $963.0 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $940.1 million and $789.8 million during the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. Recent acquisitions have contributed greatly to the increase in average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The average taxable equivalent rate earned on assets was 5.08% and 5.12% for the 2004 second quarter and 2004 six months, respectively, compared to 5.48% and 5.60% for the 2003 second quarter and 2003 six months, respectively. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.66% and 1.69% for the 2004 second quarter and 2004 six months, respectively, compared to 2.08% and 2.16% for the 2003 second quarter and 2003 six months, respectively. The net interest margin was 3.61% and 3.62% for the 2004 second quarter and 2004 six months, respectively, compared to 3.61% and 3.65% for the 2003 second quarter and 2003 six months, respectively. The net interest margin for the 2004 second quarter decreased by 1 basis point compared to the first quarter of 2004. The net interest margin has remained relatively unchanged for the last three quarters. As rates have remained low, the repricing opportunities for time deposits originated in higher interest rate environments continue to decrease, while rates on loans and leases have continued to decrease in the current low interest rate environment. The recent 25 basis point increase by the Federal Reserve should allow Alabama National to increase its net interest margin as the rates on variable rate loans will reprice more quickly than interest bearing transaction accounts and certificates of deposit. Despite the pressure on the net interest margin, Alabama National has experienced growth in its net interest income due to organic earning asset growth and recent acquisitions.
The following tables depict, on a taxable equivalent basis for the 2004 and 2003 second quarter and six months, certain information related to Alabama Nationals average balance sheet and its average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Such yields or costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of the associated assets or liabilities.

The provision for loan and lease losses represents a charge to current earnings necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at an appropriate level based on managements analysis of the loss in the loan and lease portfolio. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans and leases outstanding, the level of non-performing loans and adversely rated loans, historical loan and lease loss experience, the amount of loan and lease charge-offs during a given period, and current economic conditions. The provision for loan and lease losses was $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $2.5 million recorded during the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income (excluding loans held for sale), was 1.36% at June 30, 2004, compared to 1.37% at December 31, 2003.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the assessment process, there can be no assurance that loan and lease losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan and lease losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required. See Asset Quality.
Total noninterest income for the 2004 second quarter was $19.3 million, compared to $21.5 million for the 2003 second quarter, a decrease of 10.4%. For the 2004 six months, noninterest income decreased to $36.9 million, compared to $40.3 million for the 2003 six months, a decrease of 8.3%. The major components of noninterest income include service charges on deposits, investment services revenue, securities brokerage and trust revenue, insurance commissions, fees relating to the origination and sale of mortgage loans, and income earned on bank owned life insurance. Service charges on deposits posted the most significant increase of any noninterest income component. Service charges on deposits for the 2004 second quarter and 2003 second quarter were $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the 2004 six months, service charge income increased to $8.3 million, from $6.9 million for the 2003 six months. The primary reason for the increase in service charges is the impact of Alabama Nationals recent acquisitions, which contributed $729,000 and $979,000 of service charge income during the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively.
Revenue from the investment division totaled $3.3 million in the 2004 second quarter, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 48.6%, as compared to $6.4 million recorded in the 2003 second quarter. During the 2004 six months the investment division revenue totaled $7.2 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 37.7%, as compared to $11.5 million in the 2003 six months. Since Cypress, Indian River and Millennium do not operate in this business, these mergers had no impact on investment services revenue. The revenue recorded by the investment division in the 2003 second quarter and six months was at record levels for this division. The revenue generated by the investment division is dependent upon the demand for fixed income securities by its customers, which are primarily correspondent community banks. Demand for these securities was high during the 2003 second quarter and six months due to increased liquidity of community banks resulting from decreased loan demand and increased cash flow from their existing securities portfolio. Although the activity for this division has moderated as interest rates have remained low, the investment division continues to add new customers and expand its market area. Securities brokerage and trust revenue increased modestly during the 2004 second quarter and six months as compared with the same periods of 2003. The increase in the securities brokerage and trust division revenue during each period of 2004 is attributable to continued expansion in the number of customers and total customer assets under management by these departments, as well as an increase in the number of registered representatives. The gain generated from the sale of mortgages decreased to $3.5 million for the 2004 second quarter, from $4.6 million in the 2003 second quarter, representing a 24.4% decrease. During the 2004 six months the gain from sale of mortgages decreased to $6.0 million, from $7.9 million during the 2003 six months, a decrease of 24.1%. The gain recorded from the sale of mortgages during the 2003 second quarter and six months was near record levels due to falling interest rates and the impact on mortgage refinancing activity. Since mortgage rates have recently shown modest
18
increases, refinance activity has slowed and revenue from refinancing has decreased. Other noninterest income increased to $2.3 million for the 2004 second quarter, compared to $1.7 million during the 2003 second quarter. Other noninterest income increased to $3.9 million during the 2004 six months, an increase of 32.2%, compared to $3.0 million recorded in the 2003 six months. Contributing to this increase is revenue generated from debit card and credit card activity.
Noninterest expense was $37.6 million for the 2004 second quarter, compared to $34.3 million for the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, noninterest expense was $71.8 million, compared to $65.8 million for the 2003 six months. Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, commission based compensation, occupancy and equipment expenses, amortization of intangibles, and other expenses. Salaries and employee benefits were $19.0 million for the 2004 second quarter, compared to $16.6 million for the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, salaries and employee benefits were $36.7 million, compared to $31.9 million in the 2003 six months. The most significant reason for the increase in salaries and employee benefit expense is the impact of recent acquisitions, which accounted for $2.4 million and $3.2 million of the increase during the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively. Commission based compensation was $4.8 million for the 2004 second quarter, compared to $6.6 million for the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, commission based compensation totaled $9.5 million, compared to $12.2 million in the 2003 six months. The decrease in commission based compensation recorded for each period of 2004 is attributable to decreased production in the mortgage and investment services divisions, as a significant portion of the compensation in these divisions is production-based. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $3.9 million in the 2004 second quarter and $3.2 million in the 2003 second quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $7.4 million in the 2004 six months and $6.4 million in the 2003 six months. The primary reason for the increased occupancy and equipment expense for the 2004 second quarter and six months is due to Alabama Nationals recent acquisitions. Other noninterest expense increased to $9.1 million in the 2004 second quarter, compared with $7.7 million in the 2003 second quarter. Other noninterest expense was $16.9 million in the 2004 six months and $14.9 million in the 2003 six months.
Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $6.8 million for the 2004 second quarter, compared to $5.0 million for the 2003 second quarter. For the 2004 six months, income tax expense was $12.4 million, compared to $9.6 million for the 2003 six months. The effective tax rates for the 2004 second quarter and the 2004 six months were 33.9% and 33.5%, respectively, compared to 32.9% and 32.8% for the same periods of 2003. These effective tax rates are affected by items of income and expense that are not subject to federal or state taxation. The effective rate in the 2004 second quarter and six months is higher than the 2003 periods due to higher pre-tax income without a corresponding increase in income items not subject to federal or state taxation.
Earning Assets
Loans and leases comprised the largest single category of Alabama Nationals earning assets on June 30, 2004. Loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $3.20 billion, or 64.7% of total assets at June 30, 2004, compared to $2.66 billion, or 69.6% at December 31, 2003. Loans and leases grew $537.8 million, or 20.2%, during the 2004 six months, compared to the 2003 year-end. Excluding the Indian River and Cypress acquisitions, loans and leases grew $162.9 million, or 6.1% from December 31, 2003 balances. The following table details the composition of the loan and lease portfolio by category at the dates indicated:

Trading account securities, which had a balance of zero at June 30, 2004, are securities owned by Alabama National prior to sale and delivery to Alabama Nationals 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 $47.2 million at June 30, 2004 and $16.5 million at December 31, 2003.
Deposits and Other Funding Sources
Deposits increased by $861.5 million from December 31, 2003, to $3.62 billion at June 30, 2004. Excluding the first quarter acquisitions, deposits increased $246.5 million, or 6.8% compared with December 31, 2003 balances. Deposits continue to increase organically due to recent branch expansions, successful business development efforts by the Company and overall economic growth in the markets served by Alabama National. At June 30, 2004, deposits included $186.9 million of brokered time deposits, compared to $156.0 million at December 31, 2003.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $372.0 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $13.6 million from December 31, 2003.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and loans in which the terms have been restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. At June 30, 2004, Alabama National had no loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing interest. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts that the borrowers financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. It is Alabama Nationals policy to place a delinquent loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest that is accrued on the loan is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual writedown or charge-off of the principal balance of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to the allowance for loan and lease losses.
At June 30, 2004, nonperforming assets totaled $10.3 million, compared to $10.5 million at year-end 2003. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans plus other real estate were 0.32% at June 30, 2004, compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2003. The following table presents Alabama Nationals nonperforming assets for the dates indicated.

The loan and lease portfolio is periodically reviewed to evaluate the outstanding loans and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. This analysis includes a review of delinquency trends, actual losses and internal credit ratings. Based on this analysis, management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2004 to be adequate to cover probable loan and lease losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the evaluation process, there can be no assurance that loan and lease losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan and lease losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Alabama National monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by Alabama National is simulation analysis, which technique is augmented by gap analysis.
In simulation analysis, Alabama National reviews each individual asset and liability category and its projected behavior in various different interest rate environments. These projected behaviors are based upon managements 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 Nationals interest rate sensitivity at June 30, 2004, assuming relevant assets and liabilities are collected and paid, respectively, based upon historical experience rather than their stated maturities.

Alabama National generally benefits from increasing market rates of interest when it has an asset-sensitive gap and generally benefits from decreasing market rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. As shown in the table above, Alabama National is asset sensitive in all periods except for the after three through twelve months time frame, although it remains asset sensitive on a cumulative basis throughout all periods. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those are viewed by management as significantly less interest sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on non-core deposits. For this and other reasons, management relies more upon the simulation analysis (as noted above) in managing interest rate risk. Net interest income may be affected by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Market Risk
Alabama Nationals earnings are dependent, to a large degree, on its net interest income which is the difference between interest income earned on all earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on all interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Alabama Nationals 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 Nationals balance sheet. Gap analysis is further augmented by simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of varying levels of prevailing interest rates and the sensitivity of specific earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to changes in those prevailing rates. Simulation analysis consists of evaluating the impact on net interest income given changes from 200 basis points below (adjusted in the current period due to historically low interest rates) to 200 basis points above the current prevailing rates. Management makes certain assumptions as to the effect varying levels of interest rates have on certain earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, which assumptions consider both historical experience and consensus estimates of outside sources.
With respect to the primary earning assets, loans and securities, certain features of individual types of loans and specific securities introduce uncertainty as to their expected performance at varying levels of interest rates. In some cases, prepayment options exist whereby the borrower may elect to repay the obligation at any time. These prepayment options make anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in prevailing rates. At June 30, 2004, mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $847.6 million, or 17.2% of total assets, and essentially every loan and lease, net of unearned income (totaling $3.20 billion, or 64.7% 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 managements estimates due to several factors, including the diversity and financial sophistication of the customer base, the general level of prevailing interest rates and the relationship to their historical levels, and general economic conditions. The difference between those assumptions and actual results, if significant, could cause the actual results to differ from those indicated by the simulation analysis.
Deposits totaled $3.62 billion, or 73.2%, of total assets at June 30, 2004. Since deposits are the primary funding source for earning assets, the associated market risk is considered by management in its simulation analysis. Generally, it is anticipated that deposits will be sufficient to support funding requirements. However, the rates paid for deposits at varying levels of prevailing interest rates have a significant impact on net interest income and therefore, must be quantified by Alabama National in its simulation analysis. Specifically, Alabama Nationals spread, the difference between the rates earned on earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, is generally higher when prevailing rates are higher. As prevailing rates decrease, the spread tends to compress, with severe compression at very low prevailing interest rates. This characteristic is called spread compression and adversely affects net interest income in the simulation analysis when anticipated prevailing rates are reduced from current rates. Management relies upon historical experience to estimate the degree of spread compression in its simulation analysis. Management believes that such estimates of possible spread compression are reasonable. However, if the degree of spread compression varies from that expected, the actual results could differ from those indicated by the simulation analysis.
The following tables illustrate the results of simulation analysis used by Alabama National to determine the extent to which market risk would affect net interest margin for the next twelve months if prevailing interest rates increased or decreased the specified amounts from current rates. Due to the current low interest rate environment, Alabama National has elected to model interest rate decreases of 25 and 50 basis points. (This would equate to federal funds rates of 0.75% and 0.50%, respectively, prior to the Federal Reserves June 30, 2004 25 basis point increase in the federal funds rate.) 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. As noted above, however, management does not anticipate having the ability to reduce liability costs as successfully if it were to experience a rate cut of a greater magnitude. As also noted above, this model uses estimates and assumptions in both balance sheet growth and asset and liability account rate reactions to changes in prevailing interest rates. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the simulation model used to derive this market risk information, the actual results of the future impact of market risk on Alabama Nationals net interest margin may differ from that found in the tables.

Alabama Nationals level of asset sensitivity as indicated in this simulation model has decreased slightly from levels reported at December 31, 2003. This slight decrease in asset sensitivity was largely caused by the merger with Indian River, which has a lower loan to deposit ratio and a higher proportion of its earning assets in securities. Because a majority of these securities are fixed rate, they reduce the asset sensitivity as their coupon rates do not fluctuate in a changing rate environment.
Liquidity and Capital Adequacy
Alabama Nationals net loans and leases to deposit ratio was 88.4% at June 30, 2004, compared to 96.6% at year-end 2003. Alabama Nationals liquid assets as a percentage of total deposits were 5.7% at June 30, 2004, compared to 5.4% at year-end 2003. At June 30, 2004, Alabama National had unused federal funds lines of approximately $182.4 million, unused lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $1.02 billion and an unused credit line with a third party bank of $22.9 million. The ability of Alabama National to use the entire amount of credit extended by the Federal Home Loan Bank depends on the available collateral to pledge for borrowings. Alabama National also has access to approximately $56.3 million via a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2004 and year-end 2003, there were no outstanding borrowings under this Federal Reserve credit facility. Management analyzes the level of off-balance sheet 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 Nationals stockholders equity increased by $144.3 million from December 31, 2003, to $423.7 million at June 30, 2004. This increase was attributable to the following components (in thousands):

Subsequent to the June 30, 2004 quarter end, Alabama National completed an underwritten public offering of 977,500 shares of common stock (including 127,500 shares subject to an over-allotment option) and received net proceeds of approximately $49,694,610 after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, improving Alabama Nationals financial position. See Note J to the accompanying financial statements.
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, 2004. 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.
