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, Inc. (headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama). Alabama National also offers commercial brokerage services through a division of First American Bank.

Recent Developments

On October 27, 2005, Alabama National signed a definitive agreement providing for the purchase of Florida Choice Bankshares, Inc. (“Florida Choice”). Under the terms of the agreement, Florida Choice will be merged with and into Alabama National, and Florida Choice’s bank subsidiary, Florida Choice Bank, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alabama National. Alabama National will issue approximately 1.5 million total shares of common stock and common stock equivalents plus $5.12 million in cash to Florida Choice shareholders. Florida Choice shareholders who do not elect all cash will receive approximately 0.6079 Alabama National common shares for each share of Florida Choice common stock converted to Alabama National common stock. Florida Choice is headquartered in Mt. Dora, Florida, and operates six offices in the greater Orlando and Ocala, Florida area. At September 30, 2005, Florida Choice had assets of approximately $325 million. The transaction is expected to close in the beginning of the second quarter of 2006.

Subsidiary Banks

Alabama National operates through 10 subsidiary Banks which have a total of 87 banking offices and eight loan/mortgage origination offices in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Banks focus on traditional consumer, residential mortgage, commercial and real estate construction lending, and equipment leasing to customers in their market areas. The Banks also offer a variety of deposit programs to individuals and small businesses and other organizations at interest rates generally consistent with local market conditions.

First American Bank offers trust and investment management services to corporations and individuals. Investment services and securities brokerage services are offered through NBC Securities, Inc. at a number of the locations of the Banks. Commercial mortgage services, including the origination of permanent commercial real estate mortgage loans for various lenders, are provided by Byars and Company, a division of First American Bank. Property and casualty insurance services are offered at a number of the locations of the Banks by ANB Insurance Services, Inc., a subsidiary of First American Bank. 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, 2005, were approximately $4.1 billion, or approximately 76.9% of total earning assets. The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk, maturity and amount of the loan and are further subject to competitive pressures, money market rates, availability of funds and government regulations. Alabama National has no “foreign loans” (other than approximately $1.5 million of factored receivables) or loans for “highly leveraged transactions,” as such terms are defined by applicable banking regulations.

Loan Portfolio

Real Estate Loans. Loans secured by real estate are the primary component of Alabama National’s loan portfolio, constituting approximately $3.4 billion, or 82.7% of total loans, net of unearned interest, at December 31, 2005. The Banks originate consumer and commercial related real estate purpose loans. Also, 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. Loans are typically made on a recourse basis supported by financial statements and a review of the repayment ability of the guarantor(s). Origination fees are charged for most real estate secured loans. Furthermore, the Banks have adopted the Interagency Supervisory Real Estate Loan-to-Value Limits issued by the federal regulators as the maximum allowable loan-to-value ratio; however, exceptions are permitted provided justification is supported by sufficient mitigating factors.

Real estate lending activities consist of the following:

•

The primary type of residential mortgage loan is the single-family first mortgage, typically structured with fixed or adjustable interest rates, based on market conditions. These loans usually have fixed rates for up to five years, with maturities of 25 to 30 years. Also the Banks originate home equity lines of credit secured by residential property. These loans are typically made on a variable rate basis with maturities up to 15 years.

•

The Banks’ commercial real estate term loans accrue at either variable or fixed rates. The variable rates approximate current market rates. Amortizations are typically no more than 25 years with maturity dates generally five years or less.

•

Construction and land development loans are typically made on a variable rate basis. Loan terms usually do not exceed twenty-four months.

•

The Banks originate residential loans for sale into the secondary market. Such loans are made in accordance with underwriting standards set by the purchaser of the loan, normally as to loan-to-value ratio, interest rate, borrower qualification and documentation. Such loans are generally made under a

commitment to purchase from a loan purchaser. The Banks generally collect from the borrower or purchaser a combination of the origination fee, discount points and/or service release fee. During 2005, the Banks sold approximately $723 million in loans to such purchasers.

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 2.0% of Alabama National’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. 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 $287.0 million, or 6.9% of Alabama National’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Interest rates are negotiable based upon the borrower’s financial condition, credit history, management stability and collateral.

Credit Procedures and Review

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

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

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

Loan Review. Alabama National maintains a continuous loan review system for First American Bank, Indian River National Bank and First Gulf 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 loans 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. Alabama National does utilize brokered certificate of deposits to supplement in market funding sources when funding needs or pricing warrant the use of wholesale funding.

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

Investment Services

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

Securities Brokerage and Trust Division

First American Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, NBC Securities, Inc. (“NBC Securities”), is a broker-dealer registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation. NBC Securities provides investment services to individuals and institutions. These services include the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, margin loans, other insurance products and financial advisory services. NBC Securities has a total of approximately 78 investment representatives and advisors located in 44 offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. First American Bank also operates a trust division that manages the assets of institutional and individual customers, primarily in the Birmingham, Alabama market.

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. In addition to selling traditional residential mortgages, with the 2005 acquisition of Byars and Company, Alabama National now has a commercial mortgage banking operation. Through this division of First American Bank, Alabama National arranges permanent financing with outside investors for commercial real estate transactions. First American Bank earns a fee for this service. Alabama National also services many of the loans for the permanent investors and earns a fee for this service as well.

Insurance Services Division

ANB Insurance Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Alabama National’s First American Bank, is a full service independent property and casualty insurance agency headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Agents are located at many of the Banks.

Competition

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

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

Market Areas and Growth Strategy

Alabama National currently conducts business through 45 banking locations in Alabama, 34 banking locations in Florida and 8 banking locations in Georgia. Approximately 99% of the Banks’ deposits are in metropolitan statistical areas.

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

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

Through First American Bank, Alabama National serves the metropolitan Birmingham market, which includes portions of Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair Counties. First American Bank also serves Morgan, Limestone and Madison Counties in north Alabama, Talladega County in central Alabama and Lee County in east central Alabama. The Decatur-Huntsville, Alabama market has demonstrated a growing economic base in recent years. First American entered the Lee County market, which includes the communities of Auburn and Opelika, with the 2001 acquisition of Farmers National Bancshares, Inc. Lee County is also one of Alabama’s higher growth counties.

Through First Gulf Bank, N.A., Alabama National serves Baldwin County, Alabama, as well as Pensacola and Panama City, Florida. Baldwin County, located between Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, has a broad base of economic activity in the retail and service, agriculture, seafood, tourism and manufacturing industries. Baldwin County includes the popular tourism and retirement resort communities of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and Fairhope. Shelby, Baldwin, Lee and St. Clair Counties have been named in statistical surveys as four of the fastest growing counties in Alabama.

In 1997, Alabama National expanded outside of Alabama with the opening of Citizens & Peoples Bank, N.A. in Escambia County, Florida. In May 2005, Alabama National’s First Gulf Bank merged with and into Citizens & Peoples Bank, N.A., which now operates under the name First Gulf Bank, N.A. and serves Pensacola and Panama City, Florida, as well as Baldwin County, Alabama. In 1998, Alabama National further expanded its presence in markets outside of Alabama with two acquisitions in Florida and one in Georgia. Community Bank of Naples, N.A., located in Collier County, Florida, and Georgia State Bank, located in the greater-Atlanta counties of Cobb, Douglas and Paulding, are located in markets that are among the fastest growing in their respective states. Public Bank is located in the fast-growing greater Orlando area, with offices in Altamonte Springs, Kissimmee and St. Cloud, Florida. In 2001, Alabama National expanded its presence in the greater-Orlando area with the acquisition of Peoples State Bank of Groveland (“Peoples State Bank”), serving customers in the communities of Groveland, Leesburg and Clermont, Florida. Peoples State Bank merged with Public Bank in 2004. In 2003, Alabama National further expanded in Florida with the acquisition of Millennium Bank in Gainesville. Home to the University of Florida, Gainesville has experienced solid economic activity and good population growth.

In February 2004, Alabama National completed the acquisitions of two additional Florida bank holding companies: Cypress Bankshares, Inc. in Palm Coast and Indian River Banking Company in Vero Beach. Palm Coast, located in Flagler County, has experienced strong growth in population and bank deposits. Indian River serves the coastal Atlantic counties of Indian River and Brevard through eight locations in Vero Beach, Sebastian, Melbourne, Palm Bay and Rockledge, Florida. In July 2004, Alabama National acquired Coquina Bank of Ormond Beach, Florida. Coquina Bank subsequently merged with Cypress Bank in August 2004 to form CypressCoquina Bank.

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

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

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

During 1998, First American Bank 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. ANB Insurance Services, Inc., Alabama National’s full service independent property and casualty insurance agency headquartered in Decatur, Alabama, has agents in most of the markets serviced by the Banks and has sought to expand its footprint through internal growth and acquisitions. Alabama National has also expanded its securities brokerage unit, NBC Securities, Inc., by locating investment representatives in offices of several of Alabama National’s subsidiary Banks as well as in offices of some correspondent banks. It has also added investment representatives in other non-bank locations when opportunities have arisen.

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

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, Alabama National and the Banks together had approximately 1,524 full-time equivalent employees. None of these employees is a party to a collective bargaining agreement. Alabama National considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Supervision and Regulation

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

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

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

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

Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (“Riegle-Neal”)

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

Dividends

The Federal Reserve has authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve has indicated generally that it may

be an unsafe or unsound practice for bank holding companies to pay dividends unless the bank holding company’s net income over the preceding year is sufficient to fund the dividends, and the expected rate of earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.

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

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

FDIC Regulation

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

Bank Holding Company Support of Subsidiary Banks

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

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Alabama National is required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve, and the Banks must comply with similar capital adequacy standards established by the OCC, FDIC and

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

Affiliate Transactions

The Banks are subject to Regulation W, which comprehensively implemented statutory restrictions on transactions between a bank and its affiliates. Regulation W combines the Federal Reserve’s interpretations and exemptions relating to Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Regulation W and Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act place limits on the amount of loans or extensions of credit to, investments in or certain other transactions with affiliates, and on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. In general, the Banks’ “affiliates” are Alabama National and Alabama National’s non-bank subsidiaries.

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

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

Gramm-Leach Bliley Act

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

The GLB Act preserves the role of the Federal Reserve as the umbrella supervisor for holding companies while at the same time incorporating a system of functional regulation designed to take advantage of the strengths of the various federal and state regulators. In particular, the Act replaces the broad exemption from

Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that banks previously enjoyed with more limited exemptions, and it reaffirms that states are the regulators for the insurance activities of all persons, including federally-chartered banks.

Privacy

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

Bank Secrecy Act/USA Patriot Act

The Bank Secrecy Act is the centerpiece of the federal government’s efforts to prevent banks and other financial institutions from being used to facilitate the transfer or deposit of money derived from criminal activity. Under the Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions are obligated to file Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, on suspicious activities involving the institution, including certain attempted or actual violations of law as well as certain transactions that do not appear to have a lawful purpose or are not the sort of transaction in which the particular customer would normally be expected to engage.

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

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

The Community Reinvestment Act

The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC or the OCC shall evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. The CRA

does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. These factors are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of their CRA ratings. Each of the Banks received at least a satisfactory rating in its most recent evaluation.

Other

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

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

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Making or continuing an investment in securities issued by Alabama National, including our common stock, involves certain risks that you should carefully consider. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that may have a material adverse effect on Alabama National. Additional risks and uncertainties also could adversely affect our business and our results. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected, the market price for your securities could decline, and you could lose all or a part of your investment. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Annual Report constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factors set forth below also are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause Alabama National’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Alabama National.

We may not be able to maintain our historical growth rate, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We have grown substantially in the past few years from approximately $2.03 billion in total assets at December 31, 1999 (as restated for a 2001 pooling-of-interests transaction) to approximately $5.93 billion in total assets at December 31, 2005. This growth has been achieved through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions. Our future profitability will depend in part on our continued ability to grow. We may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth or may not be able to grow our business at all in the future. We may also not be able to obtain the financing necessary to fund additional growth and may not be able to find suitable candidates for additional acquisitions in the future. Various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, may impede or prohibit our ability to acquire additional bank subsidiaries or open or acquire new branch offices.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed or on favorable terms.

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We anticipate that our capital resources will satisfy our capital requirements for the immediate future. We may, however, need to raise additional capital to support our continued growth or for other capital needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth and acquisitions could be materially impaired.

Our directors and executive officers own a significant portion of our common stock.

Our directors and executive officers, as a group, beneficially owned approximately 21.09% of our common stock outstanding as of March 10, 2006. As a result of their beneficial ownership, directors and executive officers will have the ability, by voting their shares in concert, to significantly influence the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors.

We make and hold in our loan portfolio a significant number of construction loans, which may pose more credit risk than other types of real estate loans.

We offer residential and commercial construction programs for builders and developers, which constituted 29.6% of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2005. Builder construction loans are considered more risky than other types of real estate loans. While we believe we have established adequate reserves to cover the credit risk associated with our construction loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that losses will not exceed our reserves, which could adversely affect our earnings.

Competition in the banking industry is intense.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In their primary market areas, our subsidiary banks compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms and other financial intermediaries that offer similar services, operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than our subsidiary banks and may offer certain services that our subsidiary banks do not or cannot provide. Additionally, some of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same regulations that govern Alabama National or the Banks and may have greater flexibility in competing for business. Our profitability depends upon the subsidiary banks’ continued ability to compete effectively in their market areas.

We operate in a heavily regulated environment.

The banking industry is heavily regulated under both federal and state law. We are subject, in certain respects, to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Alabama State Banking Department, the Florida Department of Financial Services and the Georgia State Banking Department. Our success depends not only on competitive factors but also on state and federal regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies. The regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not stockholders. The ultimate effect of recent and proposed changes to the regulation of the financial institution industry cannot be predicted. Regulations now affecting us may be modified at any time, and there is no assurance that such modifications, if any, will not adversely affect our business.

Changes in the policies of monetary authorities and other government action could adversely affect our profitability.

Our results of operations are affected by credit policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve include open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate or the federal funds rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, particularly in light of the continuing threat of terrorist acts and the current military operations in the Middle East, no prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of Alabama National. Furthermore, the actions of the United States government and other governments in responding to such terrorist attacks and the military operations in the Middle East may result in currency fluctuations, exchange controls, market disruption and other adverse effects.

Our success depends upon local economic conditions.

Our success depends to a certain extent on the general economic conditions of the geographic markets served by our subsidiary banks in the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the subsidiary banks’ commercial, real estate and construction loans, the ability of borrowers to repay these loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. Adverse changes in the economic conditions of the Southeastern United States in general or any one or more of these local markets could negatively impact the financial results of our banking operations and have a negative effect on our profitability.

We cannot guarantee that we will pay dividends to stockholders in the future.

Our principal business operations are conducted through our subsidiary banks. Cash available to pay dividends to our stockholders is derived primarily, if not entirely, from dividends paid by the subsidiary banks. The ability of the subsidiary banks to pay dividends, as well as our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders, will continue to be subject to and limited by the results of operations of the subsidiary banks and by certain legal

and regulatory restrictions. Further, any lenders making loans to us may impose financial covenants that may be more restrictive than regulatory requirements with respect to our payment of dividends to stockholders. There can be no assurance of whether or when we may pay dividends to our stockholders after this offering.

Changes in the allowances for loan and lease losses of our subsidiary banks could affect our profitability.

Management of each of our subsidiary banks maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses based upon, among other things, (1) historical experience, (2) an evaluation of local and national economic conditions, (3) regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality, (4) current trends regarding the volume and severity of past due and problem loans, (5) the existence and effect of concentrations of credit, (6) growth rates in the loan portfolio and (7) results of regulatory examinations. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the respective loan portfolios. Although we believe that the allowance for loan and lease losses at each of the subsidiary banks is adequate, there can be no assurance that such allowances will prove sufficient to cover future losses. Future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ or adverse developments arise with respect to nonperforming or performing loans. Material additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses would result in a material decrease in our net income, and possibly our capital, and could result in the inability to pay dividends, among other adverse consequences.

Changes in interest rates could have an adverse effect on our income.

Our profitability depends to a significant extent upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income will be adversely affected if market interest rates change such that the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the interest earned on loans and investments. Changes in interest rates could also adversely affect the income of certain of our non-interest income businesses. For example, if mortgage interest rates increase, the demand for residential mortgage loans will likely decrease, and this would have an adverse effect on our gain on the sale of mortgages.

The performance of our investment portfolio is subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates and market conditions.

Changes in interest rates can negatively affect the performance of most of our investments. Interest rate volatility can reduce unrealized gains or create unrealized losses in our portfolios. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. Fluctuations in interest rates affect our returns on, and the market value of, our investment securities.

The fair market value of the securities in our portfolio and the investment income from these securities also fluctuate depending on general economic and market conditions. In addition, actual net investment income and/or cash flows from investments that carry prepayment risk, such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, may differ from those anticipated at the time of investment as a result of interest rate fluctuations.

Future acquisitions may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.

We may grow by acquiring banks or branches of other banks that we believe provide a strategic fit with our business. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately or profitably manage this growth. Acquiring other banks or branches involves risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including:

•

potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of acquired banks;

•

exposure to potential asset quality issues of acquired banks;

•

difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel of acquired banks;

•

potential disruption to our business;

•

possible loss of key employees and customers of acquired banks;

•

potential short-term decrease in profitability; and

•

potential diversion of our management’s time and attention.

We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than our competition to continue to invest in technological improvements.

The banking and financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that enhance customer convenience, as well as create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have greater resources to invest in technological improvements, and we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services, which could reduce our ability to effectively compete.

Hurricanes could cause a disruption in our operations which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations.

A significant portion of our operations are located in the areas bordering the Gulf of Mexico, a region that is susceptible to hurricanes. Such weather events can cause disruption to our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our overall results of operations. We maintain hurricane insurance including coverage for lost profits and extra expense. However, there is no insurance against the loss of market share that a catastrophic hurricane could produce. Further, a hurricane in any of our market areas could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to timely repay their loans and may adversely impact the value of any collateral held by us.

Substantial sales of our common stock could cause our stock price to fall.

If we or our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. Such sales also might make it more difficult for us to raise capital through the sale of common stock or use our common stock as currency in future acquisitions.

Certain state and federal laws and certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may deter potential acquirors and may depress our stock price.

Certain provisions of state and federal law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws might have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of us. Under federal law, subject to certain exemptions, a person, entity, or group must notify the federal banking agencies before acquiring 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a bank holding company, including our shares. Banking agencies review the acquisition to determine if it will result in a change of control. The banking agencies have 60 days to act on the notice, and take into account several factors, including the resources of the acquiror and the antitrust effects of the acquisition. There also are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may be used to delay or block a takeover attempt. As a result, these statutory provisions and provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have anti-takeover effects and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider to be in such shareholder’s best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by shareholders and may make removal of management more difficult.

Securities issued by Alabama National, including our common stock, are not insured deposits.

Securities issued by Alabama National, including our common stock, are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of any bank and are not insured by the FDIC, the Bank Insurance Fund, or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, or any private insurer, and are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

We may issue additional securities, which could result in dilution of your ownership.

We may determine from time to time to issue additional securities to raise additional capital or finance acquisitions or upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options. These issuances of our securities will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

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

The last reported sales price of Alabama National’s common stock as reported on the NASDAQ/NMS on March 10, 2006 was $68.81. The prices shown do not reflect retail mark-ups and mark-downs.

“Tangible book value per share”, a financial measure determined other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is computed by dividing tangible book value by the total number of common shares outstanding. “Tangible book value” equals book value less goodwill and other intangible assets. Management believes that this measure is useful because it provides book value exclusive of goodwill and other intangible assets and because it is a measure used by many investors as part of their analysis of Alabama National. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of book value per share to tangible book value per share:

Actual results may differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements, see the section titled “SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” on page 1 of this Annual Report.

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 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.

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

Executive Summary

The purpose of this section is to provide a brief summary overview of 2005. Additional detail about the income statement and balance sheet is provided in the pages following this summary.

Income Statement

Alabama National reported $66.7 million in 2005 net income, a 22.0% increase from 2004, with diluted earnings per share growing 12.6% from $3.39 in 2004 to $3.82 in 2005. Alabama National has two components of revenue—net interest income and noninterest income. The primary reasons for increased net income in 2005 are the increase in net interest income and the impact of having a full twelve months performance for banks that were acquired during 2004. Strong loan growth during 2005 and an increase in the net interest margin generated much of the increased net interest income.

Net interest income grew 22.4% to $199.8 million in 2005. The Company experienced growth in its net interest spread and in its net interest margin of 0.05% and 0.19%, respectively. Alabama National experienced some margin improvement beginning in the second half of 2004, when the Federal Reserve began taking actions to increase short term interest rates. As short term rates rose, the spread between the rate earned on loans, investments, and other earning assets and the rate paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities expanded. Alabama National’s loan portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) grew by $648.4 million, or 18.5%, during 2005. Because loans are typically the Company’s highest yielding asset, this loan growth aided net interest income growth.

Noninterest income in 2005 decreased by $1.1 million, or 1.5%, from 2004 levels. This category of income includes mortgage banking, securities brokerage and trust services, investment services, insurance services, and service charges and other fees associated with traditional retail and commercial banking. The decline was centered in the investment services area (down $7.4 million, or 63.9%) and in service charges (down $0.8 million, or 4.6%). The decline in the investment services area is attributed to two factors: a more difficult interest rate environment in 2005, with the flattening of the yield curve (due to rising short term rates and declining long term rates), and the November 2004 departure of several fixed income salespeople from the Company. Securities brokerage and trust services income offset some of this decline, with $2.4 million (14.0%) in increased revenue. This division continues to experience growth in numbers of customers and client assets. The residential mortgage banking area showed revenue growth of $1.0 million, or 8.3%, in 2005. Other noninterest income, which includes debit and credit card income, the commercial mortgage banking area (which was acquired in September 2005), letter of credit fees, and other items, grew $2.9 million (31.5%) over 2004. Other areas of noninterest income that experienced increases in 2005 include gains on disposal of assets ($0.7 million) and bank owned life insurance income ($0.2 million). Insurance commissions were down slightly ($0.1 million) from 2004.

On the expense side, Alabama National’s noninterest expenses grew $14.2 million, or 9.5%, during 2005 as compared with 2004. The largest increase in noninterest expense was in salaries and employee benefits, which grew $10.4 million, or 13.9%. Occupancy and equipment expense grew by $2.2 million, or 14.0%. Increases in both of these areas are partially attributable to the Company’s growth, as new locations lead to increased staffing and occupancy expenses. In addition, the Company’s performance-based incentive compensation expense also grew in 2005, contributing to the increase in salary and employee benefits. Another factor affecting the increase in noninterest expenses is that the three bank acquisitions completed in 2004 were part of Alabama National’s operating expense base for a full year in 2005 and only part of the year in 2004. Other operating expenses, which category includes such expenses as advertising, supplies and printing, and communication expenses, increased $3.4 million, or 9.3%, during 2005 as compared with 2004. As a partial offset to these increases, commission-based compensation expenses declined for a second straight year with the decline in commission based revenue.

Balance Sheet

Alabama National’s total assets grew $616 million, or 11.6%, during 2005. While the Company acquired three banks in 2004, accounting for much of that year’s growth, no bank acquisitions were completed in 2005. The 2005 asset growth was largely attributable to the $648 million growth in loans and leases (up 18.5%). This loan growth was somewhat offset by a $64 million, or 5.3%, reduction in securities balances. Deposits grew $409 million (10.4%) during 2005.

Asset Quality

Alabama National reported 2005 net charge-offs of $1.4 million, or 0.04% of average loans and leases, down from 2004’s $1.8 million, or 0.06% of average loans and leases. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 were $7.1 million (0.17% of period end loans and leases and foreclosed property), down from year end 2004’s $9.6 million (0.28% of period end loans and leases and foreclosed property). Potential problem loans fell to $24.5 million at December 31, 2005 from year end 2004’s $30.8 million. Alabama National’s provision for loan and lease losses rose from $4.9 million in 2004 to $7.6 million in 2005. This increase was due largely to the 18.5% growth in loans and leases during the year. As a result of loan growth, net chargeoffs and the provision for loan and lease losses, Alabama National’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end loans and leases declined to 1.27% at December 31, 2005 from 1.33% at December 31, 2004.

Selected Bank Financial Data

Alabama National’s success is dependent upon the financial performance of its subsidiary banks (the “Banks”). Alabama National, with input from the management of each Bank, establishes operating goals for each Bank. The following tables summarize selected financial information for 2005 and 2004 for each of the Banks. During February 2004, Indian River National Bank and Cypress Bank were acquired, and Coquina Bank was acquired in July 2004. Coquina Bank and Cypress Bank were merged together in August 2004 and operate as CypressCoquina Bank. Only the operating activity since the date of acquisition of each these acquired banks is included in Alabama National’s results of operations.

In addition to the aforementioned 2004 acquisitions, during 2005 Alabama National merged First Citizens Bank and National Bank of Commerce into First American Bank. The combined bank operates as First American Bank. Also during 2005, Alabama National merged Citizens & Peoples Bank and First Gulf Bank, and the combined bank operates as First Gulf Bank, N.A. In June 2004, Alabama National merged Peoples State Bank of Groveland and Public Bank. The combined bank now operates as Public Bank. Each of these mergers involved wholly owned subsidiaries of Alabama National.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Alabama National’s accounting policies are critical to understanding the results of operations and financial position as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policies utilized by Alabama National are discussed in more detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements set forth beginning on page F-1 herein.

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

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

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

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

Mergers and Acquisitions

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

Income Taxes

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

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

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

Stock-Based Compensation

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

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2005, compared with year ended December 31, 2004

Alabama National’s net income increased by $12.0 million, or 22.0%, to $66.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, from $54.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Net income per diluted share increased to $3.82 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $3.39 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2004. Return on average assets during 2005 was 1.18%, compared with 1.13% during 2004, and return on average equity was 12.11% during 2005, compared with 12.15% during 2004.

Net interest income increased $36.6 million, or 22.4%, to $199.8 million in 2005, from $163.3 million in 2004, as interest income increased $80.1 million and interest expense increased $43.5 million. Contributing to this increase is strong growth in Alabama National’s earnings assets, particularly loans. During 2005, average earning assets grew $724.9 million, or 16.5%, to $5.13 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005. Average loans and leases experienced the most significant growth during 2005, increasing $654.0 million. Alabama National continues to have strong organic growth in loans due to continued strength in many of the economies in the markets served by Alabama National. In general, loans are Alabama National’s highest yielding earning asset, and management continues to emphasize steady loan growth. To support the asset growth, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $545.6 million, to $4.32 billion in 2005. All categories of average interest-bearing liabilities increased during 2005, except for long-term debt.

Alabama National’s net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.54% and 3.90%, respectively, in 2005, compared to 3.49% and 3.71%, respectively, in 2004. The net interest margin for 2005 was higher due to the impact of the recent interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. These increases have increased the yield substantially on Alabama National’s loans and leases. The yield earned on loans and leases increased 93 basis points in 2005 to 6.67%. The Federal Reserve rate increases have also increased the rate paid on deposits. Overall interest cost on interest bearing liabilities increased 78 basis points to 2.53% in 2005 from 1.75% during 2004. Generally deposits, and specifically time deposits, did not reprice as quickly as variable rate loans and led to an increase in Alabama National’s net interest margin during 2005. See “Net Interest Income.”

Alabama National recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $7.6 million during 2005, compared to $4.9 million in 2004. Management believes that both loan loss experience and asset quality indicate that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an adequate level, although there can be no assurance that economic

factors will not require future adjustments to the allowance. Alabama National’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.27% at December 31, 2005, compared with 1.33% at December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end nonperforming assets was 747.14% at December 31, 2005, compared with 484.14% at December 31, 2004. Alabama National experienced net charge-offs of $1.4 million in 2005, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.04%, compared with net charge-offs of $1.8 million in 2004, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.06%. See “Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

Noninterest income, including net securities gains and losses, decreased $1.1 million, or 1.5%, to $71.7 million in 2005, compared with $72.8 million in 2004. Total revenue for the investment services division decreased $7.4 million, or 63.9%, to $4.2 million in 2005, from $11.7 million in 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $0.8 million, or 4.6%, to $16.3 million in 2005, from $17.1 million in 2004. Total revenue from the mortgage division increased $1.0 million, or 8.3%, to $12.5 million in 2005, from $11.6 million in 2004. The securities brokerage and trust division experienced a revenue increase of $2.4 million, or 14.0%, to $19.2 million in 2005, from $16.9 million in 2004. The commissions generated by the insurance division totaled $3.5 million in 2005, compared with $3.6 million recorded in 2004. Earnings on bank owned life insurance totaled $2.9 million in 2005, compared with $2.7 million in 2004, and other noninterest income increased $2.9 million to $12.2 million in 2005. Noninterest expense increased $14.2 million, or 9.5%, to $162.5 million in 2005, compared with $148.3 million during 2004. For a detailed discussion of these income and expense categories, see “Noninterest Income and Expense.”

Because of an increase in pre-tax income, income tax expense was $34.8 million for 2005, compared to $28.1 million for 2004. The effective tax rate for 2005 was 34.3%, compared to 34.0% for 2004. 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 2005 is higher than 2004 due to higher pre-tax income without a corresponding increase in income items not subject to federal or state taxation.

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

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

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

emphasized steady loan growth. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $865.0 million, to $3.77 billion in 2004 over 2003. Acquisitions during 2004 accounted for $526.9 million of this increase. Despite the 29.8% increase in average interest bearing liabilities, interest expense increased only $8.3 million, or 14.3%. All categories of average interest-bearing liabilities increased during 2004, except for other short-term borrowings.

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

Alabama National recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $4.9 million during 2004, compared to $5.9 million in 2003. Alabama National’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale) was 1.33% at December 31, 2004, compared with 1.37% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of period-end nonperforming assets was 484.14% at December 31, 2004, compared with 347.68% at December 31, 2003. Alabama National experienced net charge-offs of $1.8 million in 2004, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.06%, compared with net charge-offs of $3.1 million in 2003, equating to a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases of 0.13%. See “Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.”

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

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

Net Interest Income

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

Average Balances, Income, Expenses and Rates

The following table depicts, on a taxable equivalent basis for the periods indicated, 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 balances of the associated assets or liabilities.

(3)	Fees in the amount of $9.8 million, $7.6 million and $6.1 million are included in interest and fees on loans for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

During 2005, Alabama National experienced an increase in net interest income of $36.6 million, or 22.4%, to $199.8 million, compared with $163.3 million in 2004. Net interest income increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of average earning assets outstanding coupled with an increased yield on earning assets. The primary reason for the growth in earning assets is attributable to organic loan growth generated by Alabama National. In addition to strong loan growth Alabama National benefited from the interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve during 2004 and 2005. Deposits, specifically time deposits, did not reprice as quickly as many of Alabama National’s interest earning assets. Also contributing to the increased net interest margin was the mix of growth in Alabama National’s deposits. A large portion of the growth in average liability balances occurred in demand deposits which have no interest cost and other transaction accounts that generally have lower interest rates such as interest bearing transaction accounts and savings and money markets. During 2005, the average balance in demand deposit accounts increased $147.4 million and the average balance of interest bearing transaction accounts and savings and money market accounts increased a combined $316.2 million. During 2005, average time deposits increased only $150.9 million over 2004 levels. The overall growth in earnings assets, primarily loans, and the mix of liability growth to support the asset growth created a higher net interest margin for Alabama National during 2005.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income

The following table sets forth, on a taxable equivalent basis, the effect which varying levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable rates had on changes in net interest income for 2005 versus 2004 and 2004 versus 2003. For purposes of this table, changes that are not solely attributable to volume or rate are allocated to volume and rate on a pro rata basis.

Interest Sensitivity and Market Risk

Interest Sensitivity

Alabama National monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by Alabama National is simulation analysis, which technique is augmented by “gap” analysis.

In simulation analysis, Alabama National reviews each individual asset and liability category and their projected behavior in various different interest rate environments. These projected behaviors are based upon management’s past experiences and upon current competitive environments, including the various environments in the different markets in which Alabama National competes. Using this projected behavior and differing rate scenarios as inputs, the simulation analysis generates as output projections of net interest income. Alabama National also periodically verifies the validity of this approach by comparing actual results with those that were projected in previous models. See “—Market Risk.”

Another technique used by Alabama National in interest rate management is the measurement of the interest sensitivity “gap,” which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets and liabilities, selling securities available for sale or trading securities, replacing an asset or liability at maturity or by adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability.

Alabama National evaluates interest rate sensitivity risk and then formulates guidelines regarding asset generation and repricing, and sources and prices of off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease interest sensitivity risk. Alabama National uses computer simulations to measure the net income effect of various interest rate scenarios. The modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net income over specified periods of time.

The following table illustrates Alabama National’s interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2005, 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 (a positive number) and generally benefits from decreasing market interest rates when it is liability sensitive (a negative number). As shown in the table above, Alabama National is asset sensitive on a cumulative basis throughout the one year time frame, although it is liability sensitive during three through twelve month period. Alabama National is also asset sensitive during the one through three year time frame and liability sensitive in the greater than three years period, although it remains asset sensitive on a cumulative basis throughout all periods. The current asset sensitive position is similar to the 2004 year-end interest sensitivity analysis. The interest sensitivity analysis presents only a static view of the timing and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those are viewed by management as significantly less interest sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on non-core deposits. For this and other reasons, management relies more upon the simulation analysis (as noted above) in managing interest rate risk. Net interest income may be impacted by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Market Risk

Alabama National’s earnings are dependent, to a large degree, on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on all earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on all interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Alabama National’s market risk arises primarily from inherent interest rate risk in its lending, investing and deposit gathering activities. Alabama National seeks to reduce its exposure to market risk through actively monitoring and managing its interest rate risk. Management relies upon static “gap” analysis to determine the degree of mismatch in the maturity and repricing distribution of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which quantifies, to a large extent, the degree of market risk inherent in Alabama National’s balance sheet. Gap analysis is further augmented by simulation analysis to evaluate the impact of varying levels of prevailing interest rates and the sensitivity of specific earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to changes in those prevailing rates. Simulation analysis consists of evaluating the impact on net interest income given changes from 200 basis points below the current prevailing rates (adjusted in the period ended December 31, 2004 due to historically low interest rates) to 200 basis points above the current prevailing rates. Management makes certain assumptions as to the effect varying levels of interest rates have on certain earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, which assumptions consider both historical experience and consensus estimates of outside sources.

With respect to the primary earning assets, loans and securities, certain features of individual types of loans and specific securities introduce uncertainty as to their expected performance at varying levels of interest rates. In some cases, prepayment options exist whereby the borrower may elect to repay the obligation at any time prior to maturity. These prepayment options make anticipating the performance of those instruments difficult given changes in prevailing interest rates. At December 31, 2005, mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $815.7 million, or 13.8% of total assets, and essentially every loan and lease, net of unearned income, (totaling $4.14 billion, or 69.9% 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 $4.34 billion, or 73.2% of total assets at December 31, 2005. 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 decline, 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. For the year ended December 31, 2004, since interest rates were relatively low, Alabama National elected to model interest rate decreases of 50 and 100 basis points. Management did not prepare a scenario that decreased current rates by 200 basis points so the comparable scenario is not available for 2004. As noted above, this model uses estimates and assumptions in both balance sheet growth and asset and liability account rate reactions to changes in prevailing interest rates. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the simulation model used to derive this market risk information, the actual results of the future impact of market risk on Alabama National’s net interest margin may differ from that found in the tables.

Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of probable inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management determines the allowance based on an ongoing evaluation of risk as it correlates to potential losses within the portfolio. Increases to the allowance are made by charges to the provision for loan and lease losses. Loans or leases deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses.

In the determination of the allowance, management utilizes the Loan Review Department’s quarterly independent analysis of the minimum required loan and lease loss reserve for each Bank. In these analyses, larger problem loans of a defined threshold are reviewed for impairment or for loss exposure based on their payment performance, probability of default, and value of the collateral. These totals are then specifically allocated to the reserve. Loan and lease portfolios are then divided into various homogeneous risk pools utilizing call codes, loan products, and internal risk ratings. Historical losses are used to estimate the probable loss in the current portfolio using both an average loss methodology and a migration loss methodology. The methodologies and the time periods considered are subjective and vary for each risk pool based on systematic risk relative to its ability to estimate losses. As every loan has a risk of loss, the calculation begins with a minimum loss allocation for each loan pool. The minimum loss is estimated based on long term trends for each Bank, the banking industry, and the economy. A minimum loss allocation is similarly applied to letters of credit and unused lines of credit. Loss allocations are adjusted for changes in the economy, problem loans, payment performance, loan policy, management, credit administration systems, credit concentrations, loan growth, and other elements over the time periods utilized in the methodology. The adjusted loss allocations are then applied to the current balances in their respective loan pools. Loss allocations are totaled, yielding the required allowance for loan and lease losses for each Bank. Each Bank’s required allowance for loan and lease losses is aggregated yielding the consolidated required allowance for Alabama National.

Management incorporates the data from the quarterly required allowance assessments with interim changes to that data in its ongoing determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Management then takes into consideration other factors that may support an allowance in excess of required minimums. These factors include mergers and acquisitions, historically high loan growth, and rapid changes in the economy. These factors increase uncertainty in the data used and assumptions made by management. Management believes that the data it uses in determining the allowance for loan and lease losses is sufficient to estimate the potential losses in the loan and lease portfolio; however, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

The following table presents the information associated with Alabama National’s allowance and provision for loan and lease losses for the dates indicated.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased by $2.7 million, or 53.9%, to $7.6 million in 2005, from $4.9 million in 2004. The primary reason for the increased provision expense during 2005 is due to the growth in loans outstanding during 2005. During 2005, net charge-offs decreased $0.5 million, or 24.7%, to $1.4 million, compared to $1.8 million in 2004. As of December 31, 2005, nonperforming assets totaled $7.1 million, a $2.6 million decrease from year-end 2004 levels.

Allocation of Allowance

While no portion of the allowance is in any way restricted to any individual loan or group of loans and the entire allowance is available to absorb losses from any and all loans, the following table represents management’s allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses to specific loan categories.


	2005		2004		2003
	(Amounts in thousands)
Commercial and financial	$	3,573	$	3,884	$	5,210
Real estate construction		14,235		7,527		4,540
Real estate residential mortgage		13,279		8,595		6,497

Other		3,860		4,058		2,795
Unallocated		3,506		8,520		5,307

Total allowance for loan and lease losses	$	52,815	$	46,584	$	36,562

Allocation amounts within the allowance for loan and lease losses were affected by several factors identified throughout the 2005 calendar year. Total loan amounts specifically allocated to the allowance increased by $191 thousand over December 31, 2004. Non-performing assets and potential problem loans decreased during 2005 by $2.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, thus reducing the required allocations for these segments. The most significant change occurred within the real estate construction and residential mortgage portfolio segments. The allocation for real estate construction increased during 2005 by $6.7 million, or 89.1%. The increase in allocation of the allowance for residential construction loans is primarily due to loan growth. In addition, strong demand for housing stock and the effect of recent hurricanes have lead to increased material prices and labor shortages in certain Alabama National markets. Losses directly attributable to these factors had not materialized by year end. The allocation for real estate residential mortgage segment increased $4.7 million, or 54.5%, during 2005. Contributing factors are loan growth and economic conditions. Elevated consumer debt and rising interest rates could have a negative impact on this portfolio with personal debt service requirements exceeding increases in personal income. The real estate commercial mortgage allocation increased $0.63 million, or 5.2%, during 2005 due primarily to increased concentration levels within the loan segment. The unallocated reserve decreased $5.0 million, or 58.9%. This can be attributed, in part, to the stabilization of risk management systems as recent mergers and acquisitions mature. There were no significant changes in the allowance methodology and assumptions year over year from 2004 to 2005. Changes in allocation amounts for 2005 are most reflective of improved asset quality indicators, growth in various portfolio segments, changes in loan concentrations, and changes in local and national economic conditions.

Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. In addition to consideration of these factors, Alabama National has a consistent and continuing policy of placing all loans on nonaccrual status if they become 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest which is accrued on the loan is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual writedown or charge-off of the principal balance of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to the allowance for loan and lease losses. During the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, approximately $453,000, $489,000 and $474,000, respectively, in additional interest income would have been recognized in earnings if Alabama National’s nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms.

Total nonperforming assets decreased $2.6 million, to $7.1 million at December 3l, 2005, from $9.6 million at December 31, 2004. Other real estate owned decreased $0.9 million to $0.6 million at December 31, 2005. Included in the year-end 2004 other real estate balance is a former bank branch with a carrying value of $0.8 million. This branch was sold during 2005. The allowance for loan and lease losses to period-end nonperforming loans was 819.35% at December 31, 2005, compared with 575.75% at December 31, 2004. This ratio will generally fluctuate from period to period depending upon nonperforming loan levels at period end.

Potential Problem Loans

A potential problem loan is one that management has concerns as to the borrower’s future performance under terms of the loan contract. These loans are current as to principal and interest, and accordingly, they are not

included in the nonperforming asset categories. Management monitors these loans closely in order to ensure that Alabama National’s interests are protected. At December 31, 2005, Alabama National had certain loans considered by management to be potential problem loans totaling $24.5 million, as compared with $30.8 million at December 31, 2004. Alabama National believes early identification of potential problem loans is an important factor in its ability to successfully collect such loans. As such, it encourages early identification of potential problem loans both with its loan officers and loan review staff. The level of potential problem loans is factored into the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income

Alabama National relies on five distinct product lines for the production of recurring noninterest income: (1) traditional retail and commercial banking, (2) mortgage banking, (3) securities brokerage and trust services, (4) investment services, and (5) insurance services. Combined revenue associated with Alabama National’s five product lines totaled $71.7 million in 2005, compared with $72.8 million in 2004, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 1.5%. An analysis of this decrease is provided below.

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

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $0.8 million to $16.3 million during 2005, a 4.6% decrease over 2004’s total of $17.1 million. The decrease in service charges for 2005 versus 2004 is primarily related to increases in the earnings credit rate (“ECR”) attributed to commercial deposit accounts. The ECR, which generally varies with short term interest rates, is used by commercial customers to offset service charges on deposit accounts. As interest rates rose in 2005, the higher ECR resulted in lower service charges. Other noninterest income increased $2.9 million to $12.2 million during 2005, a 31.5% increase over 2004’s total of $9.3 million. Contributing to the increase in other noninterest income is increased revenue from merchant credit card activity, ATM card revenue, debit card income and mortgage servicing revenue generated by the commercial mortgage business acquired in September 2005. The other components of noninterest income will be discussed in more detail in “Segment Information.”

Noninterest expense increased $14.2 million, or 9.5%, to $162.5 million in 2005, from $148.3 million in 2004. Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.4 million, or 13.9%, in 2005. Contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits were general staffing increases concurrent with expansion of offices and business lines, increases in health insurance costs, merit salary increases and higher incentive bonuses as a result of increased net income for Alabama National. Commission based compensation decreased $2.0 million, or 11.7%, in 2005. The decrease in commission based compensation during 2005 is attributable to decreased production in the investment services division. Net occupancy expense increased $2.2 million, or 14.0%, in 2005.

Segment Information

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

Investment Services

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the summary of operations for the investment services division of Alabama National:

INVESTMENT SERVICES DIVISION

(Amounts in thousands)


	Year ended December 31,
	2005			2004		2003
Investment services revenue	$	4,210		$	11,652	$	18,710
Expenses and allocated charges		4,852			8,998		12,645

Net investment services income	$	(642	)	$	2,654	$	6,065

First American Bank operates an investment department devoted primarily to handling correspondent banks’ investment needs. Investment services revenue consists primarily of commission income from the sale of fixed income securities to correspondent banks. A small portion of investment services revenue is generated from fee based services, including asset/liability consulting, bond accounting and security safekeeping. Investment services revenue decreased substantially to $4.2 million during 2005, from $11.7 million in 2004. The revenue recorded by the investment division during 2003, $18.7 million, represents the highest revenue ever recorded for this division. The revenue generated by the investment services division is dependent upon the demand for fixed income securities by its customers, which are primarily correspondent community banks. Demand for these securities during 2003 was high due to increased liquidity of community banks resulting from decreased loan demand and increased cash flow from their existing securities portfolio. During 2005 and 2004, the cash flow from the securities portfolio of correspondent banks slowed and loan demand increased, which negatively impacted the revenue for the investment services division.

In addition to the market conditions, another significant reason for decreased revenue production during 2005 is due to the departure a group of salespeople and support staff from this division during the fourth quarter of 2004. Alabama National has moved to add additional qualified sales people and remains committed to this business line. Upon a return to more favorable market conditions, Alabama National anticipates increased revenue and a return to profitability for this segment. Activities of the investment services division leads to additional business opportunities for the commercial and retail banking segment through loans and deposits attributable to investment division customers. Revenue for this additional activity is recorded in the commercial and retail banking segment.

Securities Brokerage and Trust Division

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the summary of operations for the securities brokerage and trust division of Alabama National:

SECURITIES BROKERAGE AND TRUST DIVISION

	Year ended December 31,

Net securities brokerage and trust income	$	2,518	$	1,960	$	1,744

First American Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, NBC Securities, Inc. (“NBC Securities”), that is a full service licensed broker-dealer. The trust department of First American Bank and NBC Securities manage the assets of both institutional and individual customers located primarily in the markets served by Alabama National. The revenue generated by the securities brokerage and trust division consists primarily of commission income generated from the sale of equity securities and other investment products to individual and corporate customers, from fees paid for assets under management or custody and from fees related to investment consulting work performed for clients. The securities brokerage and trust division also recognizes interest income from margin loans. Revenue for this division increased $2.4 million, or 14.0%, to $19.2 million in 2005. Revenue for this division increased $1.0 million, or 6.3%, to $16.9 million in 2004. The increase in revenue during both 2005 and 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. Asset management fees recorded by the trust department of First American Bank and NBC Securities also increased during 2005 as a result of an increase in the total assets managed by this division. The interest income from margin loans increased slightly during 2005 versus the levels recorded during 2004 and 2003. The additional registered representatives and new offices opened and variable overhead, combined with higher commission expense on the higher revenue base, led to an increase in the expenses and allocated charges for this division in 2005.

Mortgage Lending Division

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the summary of operations for the mortgage lending division of Alabama National:

MORTGAGE LENDING DIVISION

(Amounts in thousands)


	Year ended December 31,
	2005		2004		2003

Expenses and allocated charges		9,720		8,858		10,104

Net mortgage lending division income	$	4,641	$	4,299	$	8,594

(1)	Includes intercompany income allocated to mortgage lending division totaling $1,151,000, $832,000 and $772,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Fees earned in connection with the origination and resale of mortgages increased $1.3 million, or 10.3%, to $13.7 million in 2005, from $12.4 million in 2004. During 2004, fees earned in connection with the origination and resale of mortgages decreased $4.7 million, or 27.3%, to $12.4 million, from $17.1 million in 2003. The increased revenue during 2005 is attributable to the strong economies in the markets served by Alabama National. The revenue recorded during both 2005 and 2004 are lower than the revenue recorded by the mortgage division in 2003. The 2003 revenue was a record amount due to the historically low interest rate environment and its effect on mortgage origination and refinancing activity. Expenses and allocated charges totaled $9.7 million, compared to $8.9 million during 2004. This increase is due to a higher level of mortgage revenue and its impact on compensation and other expenses.

Revenue from the mortgage lending division is subject to fluctuation caused by a number of factors, including perhaps most prominently the interest rate environment. The environment for this division was extremely favorable during 2003. During 2005 and 2004 mortgage activity from refinancing slowed considerably, but Alabama National continues to expand and grow mortgage origination activity in the markets served by the Company.

Insurance Services Division

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of operations for the insurance services division of Alabama National:

INSURANCE SERVICES DIVISION

(Amounts in thousands)


	Year ended December 31,

Expenses and allocated charges		3,349		3,642		3,298

Net insurance division income	$	200	$	71	$	179

Commission income earned from the sale of insurance products during 2005 decreased slightly to $3.5 million from $3.6 million recorded in 2004. The profitability of this segment increased due to lower expenses during 2005. In previous years this division has incurred costs in connection with expanding the insurance services division throughout the markets served by Alabama National.

Earning Assets

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases are the largest category of earning assets and typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets. Associated with the higher loan yields are the inherent credit and liquidity risks which management attempts to control and counterbalance. Total loans and leases averaged $3.88 billion in 2005, compared to $3.22 billion in 2004, an increase of $654.0 million, or 20.3%. At December 31, 2005, total loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $4.14 billion, compared to $3.50 billion at the end of 2004, an increase of $648.4 million, or 18.5%.

The growth in Alabama National’s loan and lease portfolio is attributable to Alabama National’s ability to attract new customers while maintaining consistent underwriting standards. Loan growth is also impacted by general economic conditions that may result in increased loan demand from existing customers. The markets served by Alabama National, especially Florida, continue to experience strong economic expansion and Alabama National has benefited. The following table details the composition of the loan portfolio by category at the dates indicated.

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

The principal component of Alabama National’s loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At year-end 2005, this category totaled $2.20 billion and represented 53.1% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $2.02 billion, or 57.7% of the total loan portfolio at year-end 2004.

Residential mortgage loans increased $129.4 million, or 13.4%, to $1.09 billion at December 31, 2005, compared with $963.1 million at December 31, 2004. Commercial mortgage loans increased $54.2 million, or 5.2%, to $1.10 billion at December 31, 2005.

Real estate construction loans experienced the largest increase of any category of loan. Real estate construction loans increased $448.9 million, or 57.8%, to $1.23 billion at December 31, 2005, compared with $776.6 million at December 31, 2004. Real estate construction is now the largest category of loans for Alabama National. Alabama National’s focus on the home construction market, as well as strong commercial construction activity in markets it serves, led to this increase during 2005.

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, 2005.

	$	912,548	$	1,630,779	$	2,543,327

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

Securities

Securities, including securities classified as held to maturity (or investment securities) and available for sale, represent a significant portion of Alabama National’s earning assets. Securities averaged $1.16 billion during 2005, compared with $1.10 billion during 2004, an increase of $54.2 million, or 4.9%. Growth in the securities portfolio is generally a function of growth in funding sources net of lending opportunities, and during 2005 most of the earning asset growth of Alabama National was in loans and leases and the securities portfolio remained relatively flat. Management attempts to maintain earning asset growth commensurate with its funding growth and with its overall growth plans. At December 31, 2005, the securities portfolio totaled $1.14 billion, including securities held to maturity with an amortized cost of $591.2 million and securities available for sale with a market value of $545.3 million.

The following tables set forth the carrying value of securities held by Alabama National at the dates indicated.

At December 31, 2005, mortgage-backed securities, consisting of collateralized mortgage obligations and pass-through mortgage obligations, had a carrying value totaling $815.7 million. These mortgage-backed securities include $545.8 million classified as investment securities and $269.9 million classified as securities available for sale. Management expects the annual repayment of the underlying mortgages to vary as a result of monthly repayment of principal and/or interest required under terms of the underlying promissory notes. Further, the actual rate of repayment is subject to changes depending upon the terms of the underlying mortgages, the relative level of mortgage interest rates, and the structure of the securities. When relative interest rates decline to levels below that of the underlying mortgages, acceleration of principal repayment is expected as some borrowers on the underlying mortgages refinance to lower rates. When the underlying rates on mortgage loans are comparable to, or in excess of, market rates, repayment more closely conforms to scheduled amortization in accordance with terms of the promissory note with additional repayment as a result of sales of homes collateralizing the mortgage loans constituting the security. Accordingly, management generally expects an average life of 3.5 years for both collateralized mortgage obligations and pass-through mortgage obligations.

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 2005, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $83.6 million, compared to $68.7 million during 2004, representing an increase of $15.0 million.

Trading Account Securities

An important aspect of the investment services division’s operations, but less so to Alabama National overall, are trading account securities, which represent securities owned by Alabama National prior to sale and delivery to Alabama National’s customers. Trading account securities averaged approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. This small dollar amount reflects management’s policy of limiting positions in such securities to reduce its exposure to market and interest rate changes.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $545.6 million, or 14.7%, to $4.32 billion in 2005, from $3.77 billion in 2004. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $467.1 million, or 15.9%, to $3.40 billion in 2005, from $2.93 billion in 2004. The increase is attributable to competitive rate and product offerings by Alabama National, successful marketing efforts and growth in many of Alabama National’s markets. Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $112.2 million, or 27.9%, to $515.2 million in 2005, from $403.0 million in 2004, due in part to additional liquidity provided by downstream correspondent banks. Average short-term borrowings increased by $14.9 million, or 28.1%, to $67.9 million in 2005, compared to $53.0 million in 2004. Average long-term borrowings decreased $48.7 million, or 12.6%, to $337.8 million in 2005, from $386.5 million in 2004.

Deposits

Average total deposits increased $614.5 million, or 17.6%, to $4.11 billion during 2005, from $3.49 billion during 2004. At December 31, 2005, total deposits were $4.34 billion, compared with $3.93 billion at December 31, 2004. This growth in deposits, specifically interest bearing transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and demand deposits allowed Alabama National to support its loan growth with relatively low funding costs. This contributed to an increased net interest margin for Alabama National during 2005.

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 support earning assets. Alabama National’s core deposits totaled $3.40 billion, or 78.1%, of total deposits at December 31, 2005, and totaled $3.14 billion, or 79.9%, of total deposits at December 31, 2004.

Deposits, in particular core deposits, have historically been Alabama National’s primary source of funding and have enabled Alabama National to meet successfully both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that such deposits will continue to be Alabama National’s primary source of funding in the future, although economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source. Alabama National’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 95.4% at December 31, 2005, and 88.8% at the end of 2004, and the ratio averaged 94.4% during 2005 and 92.3% during 2004. The maturity distribution of Alabama National’s time deposits in excess of $100,000 at December 31, 2005 is shown in the following table.

Approximately 22.4% of Alabama National’s time deposits over $100,000 had scheduled maturities within three months. Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. Alabama National had $126.6 million in large certificates of deposit obtained through brokers outstanding at December 31, 2005, compared to $175.2 million at December 31, 2004. Alabama National’s use of brokered time deposits fluctuates depending upon funding needs and the pricing and maturity structure of available brokered deposits versus other funding sources, including in-market time deposits.

Borrowed Funds

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

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent both an input of excess funds from correspondent bank customers of Alabama National as well as a cash management tool offered to corporate customers. At December 31, 2005, these funds totaled $545.3 million, compared with $379.1 million at December 31, 2004. 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.

Alabama National’s average borrowing from a third party bank under a $10 million credit facility (“the Credit Facility”) was $278 thousand during 2005, compared with $3.6 million during 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the principal balance was zero, leaving a remaining availability under the Credit Facility of $10.0 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that varies with LIBOR and is unsecured. The Credit Facility is typically renewed on an annual basis and has a current maturity date of May 31, 2006. Alabama National has historically renewed the Credit Facility prior to its due date and anticipates doing so again in 2006.

All of the Banks are members of the FHLB of Atlanta. At December 31, 2005, the Banks had available FHLB lines of $1.65 billion, under which $350.3 million was outstanding, including advances classified as short-term of $34.7 million and advances classified as long-term of $315.6 million. This compares to borrowings of $370.1 million at December 31, 2004, of which $30.0 million was short-term and $340.1 million was long-term.

Alabama National through three separate trust subsidiaries has issued Floating Rate Capital Securities, commonly known as trust preferred securities, in the aggregate principal amount of $46.4 million. Due to the adoption of FIN 46 the trusts created to issue the trust preferred securities must be deconsolidated and accordingly the debt is classified as junior subordinated debentures. The debentures pay distributions at a rate that varies with LIBOR. They are classified as long-term debt for the financial statements but are included as capital for regulatory purposes. In addition to these junior subordinated debentures, Alabama National assumed $7.2 million in junior subordinated debentures in connection with its acquisition of Indian River Banking Company in 2004.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of borrowed funds.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources

Alabama National’s stockholders’ equity increased by $42.3 million from December 31, 2004, to $571.9 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was attributable to the following (in thousands):


Net income	$	66,673
Dividends		(23,038	)
Issuance of stock for option exercises and other stock based compensation		131
Change in unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes		(7,861	)
Issuance of stock in purchase business combination		4,233
Additional paid in capital related to stock based compensation		2,198

Net increase	$	42,336

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, 2005, 2004 and 2003, as set forth in the following table.

Each of the Banks is required to maintain minimum risk-based and leverage ratios similar to those required for Alabama National. Each of the Banks exceeded these regulatory minimum capital ratios at December 31, 2005, as set forth in the following table:

BANK CAPITAL RATIOS


	Tier 1 Risk Based		Total Risk Based		Tier 1 Leverage

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

Liquidity Management

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

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

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

Assets included in Alabama National’s Consolidated Statements of Condition contribute to liquidity management. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, Alabama National’s primary source of immediate liquidity, averaged $83.6 million during 2005 and were $70.5 million at December 31, 2005, and averaged $68.7 million during 2004 and were $101.0 million at December 31, 2004. 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 $365.6 million at December 31, 2005, 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 borrowings. Combined federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, treasury, tax and loan, and short-term borrowings averaged $583.2 million during 2005 and were $580.0 million at December 31, 2005, and averaged $456.0 million during 2004 and were $409.6 million at December 31, 2004. Overnight borrowing lines with upstream correspondent banks, totaling $239.8 million at December 31, 2005, of which $220.8 million was unused, provide additional sources of liquidity to Alabama National on an unsecured basis. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides secured credit lines to all of Alabama National’s Banks totaling approximately $1.6 billion as of year-end 2005. The amount that Alabama National can borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank is limited to the actual collateral pledged. At December 31, 2005, advances under these lines totaled $350.3 million, including $34.7 million classified as short-term and $315.6 million classified as long-term. Long-term liquidity needs are met through Alabama National’s deposit base (approximately 78.2% of Alabama National’s deposits at December 31, 2005, are considered core deposits), and the repayment of loans and other investments as they mature. Alabama National is able to manage its long-term liquidity needs by adjusting the rates it pays on longer-term deposits, long-term borrowings and the amount and mix of longer-term investments in its portfolio.

One of the Banks, First American Bank, pledged approximately $128.3 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, 2005, First American Bank had access to approximately $102.7 million under this facility, with no outstanding borrowings.

Alabama National, as a stand-alone corporation, has more limited access to liquidity sources than its Banks and depends on dividends from its subsidiaries as its primary source of liquidity. Alabama National’s liquidity is diminished by required payments on its outstanding short-term debt and junior subordinated debentures. The ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends is subject to general regulatory restrictions, which may, but are not expected to, have a material negative impact on the liquidity available to Alabama National. (See Note 18 to Alabama National’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report beginning at page F-1). If circumstances warrant, Alabama National’s short-term liquidity needs can also be met by additional borrowings of approximately $10.0 million representing the unused portion of Alabama National’s credit facility with an unrelated bank. See “Deposits and Other Interest–Bearing Liabilities —Borrowed Funds.”

Contractual Obligations

Alabama National has contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Long-term debt, capital leases and junior subordinated debentures are reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition, whereas, operating lease obligations for office space and equipment are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Alabama National has no unconditional purchase obligations or other long-term obligations other than as included in the following table. These types of obligations are more fully discussed in Notes 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1. Total contractual obligations of Alabama National as of December 31, 2005, are as follows.

Credit Extension Commitments

Many of Alabama National’s lending relationships, including those with commercial and consumer customers, contain both funded and unfunded elements. The unfunded component of these commitments is not recorded on Alabama National’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These commitments are more fully discussed in Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report beginning on page F-1. The table below summarizes the total unfunded credit extension, or off-balance sheet, commitment amounts by expiration date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Alabama National’s significant off-balance sheet arrangements are primarily certain investments in low-income housing projects throughout its geographic area. Alabama National enters into such arrangements as a means of supporting local communities and recognizes tax credits relating to its investments. At December 31, 2005, Alabama National’s investments in such projects totaled $0.9 million. Alabama National acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Construction and permanent financing for these entities was obtained from independent third parties.

Alabama National has no remaining commitment to fund low income housing investments at December 31, 2005. Alabama National’s risk exposure relating to these entities is generally limited to the amount invested.

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

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3’s application includes loans and debt securities acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The changes required by this SOP have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary and Its Application to Certain Investments. The issue applies to debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, certain debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and equity securities that are not subject to the scope of SFAS 115 and not accounted for under the equity method of accounting (i.e., cost method investments). Issue 03-1 outlines a three step model for assessing other-than-temporary impairment. The model involves first determining whether an investment is impaired, then evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and if it is, recognizing an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The model was to be applied prospectively to all current and future investments in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. However, in September 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue 03-1-1 which delayed the effective date for measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1 until such time as additional implementation guidance could be provided. On November 3, 2005, FSP FAS 115-1 was issued. The FSP nullifies certain requirements of Issue 03-1 and supersedes EITF Topic D-44. The FSP clarifies that investors shall recognize an impairment loss no later than when any impairment is deemed to be other than temporary, even if a decision to sell the investment has not been made. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The changes required by FSP 115-1 are not expected to have a material impact on Alabama National’s financial statements.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on fair values. SFAS 123(R) was originally effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended this requirement allowing companies to adopt the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. Alabama National currently uses a fair value-based method of accounting for compensation costs and has fully adopted and implemented the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly, the changes required by SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, which provides interpretive guidance on various issues in SFAS 123(R), particularly valuation methodologies and the selection of assumptions. This SAB also discusses the SEC staff’s expectations regarding disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis related to share-based payment transactions, as well as the interaction of SFAS 123(R) with existing SEC guidance, such as that dealing with disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. It applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 eliminates the requirement in APB Opinion No. 20 to include the cumulative effect changes in accounting principle in the income statement in the period of change. Instead, to enhance comparability of prior period financial statements, SFAS 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. Under retrospective application, the new accounting principle is applied as of the beginning of the first period presented as if that principle had always been used. The cumulative effect of the change is reflected in the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of the first period presented and the offsetting adjustments are recorded to opening retained earnings. Each period presented is adjusted to reflect the period specific effects of applying the change. Although retrospective application is similar to restating prior periods, SFAS 154 gives the treatment a new name to differentiate it from restatement for correction of an error. Only direct effects of the change will be included in the retrospective application; all indirect effects will be recognized in the period of change. If it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect for all periods, the new accounting principle should be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS 154 was issued.

Impact of Inflation

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

Industry Developments

Certain recently enacted and proposed legislation could have an effect on both the costs of doing business and the competitive factors facing the financial institutions industry. Alabama National is unable at this time to assess the impact of this legislation on its financial condition or results of operations. See “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

As of December 31, 2005, the end of the period covered by this report, Alabama National carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Alabama National’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Alabama National’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in Alabama National’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified.

There were no changes in Alabama National’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Alabama National’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

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

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

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

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

Management assessed the effectiveness of Alabama National’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on its assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that Alabama National maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Alabama National’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have completed integrated audits of Alabama National BanCorporation’s 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and an audit of its 2003 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alabama National BanCorporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” which appears under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

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

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

F-1

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

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 ten subsidiary banks located in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities

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

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

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

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

Loans and Leases

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

F-9

Alabama National BanCorporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

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

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

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

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

Property, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements

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

Other Real Estate

Other real estate, which primarily consists of property acquired by foreclosure, is initially recorded at the fair value less estimated selling costs. Other real estate is not depreciated. Subsequent to foreclosure, the assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Losses, representing the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the property, are recorded on the date of the sale, while gains on sales financed by the Company are deferred until the initial and continuing investment by the borrower equals or exceeds specified levels. Gains on all other sales are recorded when realized. Other real estate at December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $623,000 and $1,531,000, respectively.

Other Intangible Assets

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

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

Goodwill

Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. There has been no impairment resulting from impairment tests.

Software Costs

Software costs, which primarily represent costs to acquire third party software packages, have a recorded cost of approximately $6,293,000 and $6,719,000 and related accumulated amortization of approximately $4,805,000 and $4,835,000, and are included in other assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense related to capitalized software costs totaled approximately $582,000, $564,000 and $504,000 during 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes

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

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

The Company uses a fair value-based method of accounting for compensation costs. Compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation arrangements is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the related service period. The Company has fully adopted and implemented the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and has recorded compensation costs in accordance with these provisions. As such, there are no additional pro forma expenses or disclosure requirements.

Advertising Costs

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

Collateral Requirements

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

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the 2005 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3’s application includes loans and debt securities acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The changes required by this SOP have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

amended this requirement allowing companies to adopt the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. Alabama National currently uses a fair value-based method of accounting for compensation costs and has fully adopted and implemented the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123. Accordingly, the changes required by SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on Alabama National’s financial condition or results of operations.

2.	Business Combinations

During 2005, the Company purchased the outstanding minority interest in one of its bank subsidiaries. The total purchase price was $325,000. This transaction resulted in the recognition of $216,000 of additional goodwill. During 2005, Alabama National also acquired a commercial mortgage banking company. Alabama National issued 64,839 shares of common stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of the acquired company. The transaction resulted in the recognition of $3.5 million of goodwill and $1.0 million of other customer intangibles that are classified as other amortizing intangible assets.

On February 20, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Cypress Bankshares, Inc. (“Cypress”). On July 9, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Coquina Bank (“Coquina”). Coquina was merged with Cypress Bank on August 20, 2004 to form CypressCoquina Bank. In addition to the Coquina and Cypress acquisitions, the Company completed the acquisition of Indian River Banking Company (“Indian

River”) on February 27, 2004. On June 19, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Millennium Bank (“Millennium”). The Company acquired all of the voting stock in each of these acquisitions.

The acquisitions of Coquina, Indian River, Cypress and Millennium resulted in the recognition of $22,899,000, $79,990,000, $19,332,000 and $19,234,000 of intangible assets, respectively. The Company allocated $1,006,000, $7,542,000, $1,644,000 and $968,000 of the total intangible to core deposits, respectively. This allocation was based on the Company’s valuation of the core deposits of Coquina, Indian River, Cypress and Millennium. The principal factors considered by the Company when valuing the core deposit intangibles consist of the following: (1) the rate and maturity structure of the interest bearing liabilities, (2) estimated retention rates for each deposit liability category, (3) the current interest rate environment and (4) estimated noninterest income potential of the acquired relationship. The core deposit intangible created is being amortized on an accelerated basis not to exceed seven years. The remaining intangible created was allocated to goodwill.

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

As of December 31, 2005, 295 debt securities have been in a loss position for more than twelve months and 284 debt securities have been in a loss position for less than twelve months. The losses for all securities are considered to be a direct result of rising interest rates and the effect that rising rates has on the value of debt securities and not related to the credit worthiness of the issuers. Further, the Company has the current intent and ability to hold the securities to an expected recovery in market value. Therefore, the Company has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairments.

In the normal course of business, loans are made to directors, officers, and their affiliates. Such loans are made on substantially the same terms as to other customers of the banks. The aggregate of such loans was $81,204,000 and $65,252,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005 and 2004, new loans of $59,851,000 and $38,254,000 were funded and reductions totaled $43,899,000 and $50,015,000, respectively.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $6,446,000 and $8,091,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If these loans had been current throughout their terms, gross interest income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, would have increased by approximately $453,000 and $489,000.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the recorded net investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized totaled $6,446,000 and $8,091,000, respectively. Management of the Company believes that the value of these impaired loans on the Company’s books is less than the recoverable value of the loans. The Company did not recognize any material interest income on impaired loans during the portion of the year that they were impaired. The impaired loans at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were measured for impairment primarily using the fair value of the collateral. The average investment in these loans for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $6,791,000 and $8,511,000, respectively.

All of the loans identified as being impaired have been specifically allocated a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses. This specifically allocated portion of the allowance totaled $254,000 and $86,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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, 2005 and 2004, unused commitments under lines of credit aggregated approximately $1,275,894,000 and $1,112,654,000, of which approximately $43,293,000 and $19,853,000 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 $53,458,000 and $32,602,000 in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, of which approximately $1,179,000 and $433,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, pertained to related parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and residential real estate for those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

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

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

12.

Employee Benefit Plans and Stock Based Compensation

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

Plan Assets

The consolidated pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2005 and 2004, by asset category are as follows:


	Plan Assets at December 31,				Target Allocation		Expected Return By Category
	2005		2004
Asset Category
Equity securities	72.8	%	66.0	%	51.4	%	9.0	%
Debt securities	21.6	%	31.5	%	46.6	%	5.0	%
Cash equivalents	5.6	%	2.5	%	2.0	%	2.0	%

Total/weighted average expected return	100	%	100	%	100	%	7.00	%

The target asset allocation shown above represents the weighted-average target allocation of total plan assets. Each plan’s stated investment policy allows for a range of percentages within each asset class that generally is 10% above and below the target. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the plans were out of policy due to an increase in value of the equity securities and a decline in market value of debt securities. The plan trustee monitors the asset allocation and when the plans are out of policy takes measures to prudently reallocate the asset mix to bring the plans into compliance with the stated investment policies. The stated investment goals are to generate a return in excess of 7.0% (the current long-term return assumption), to meet or exceed the rate of return of similarly balanced market indexes and to provide an appropriate amount of liquidity to meet distribution requirements of current and future retirees. The risk management practices employed by the plans’ investment policies include diversification criteria, requirements that fixed income investments be of investment quality, an annual assessment of investment managers, analysis of fund performance against benchmarks and substantiation that investment results are consistent with stated objectives, goals and guidelines. Finally, there are several categories of investments that are not eligible for

The Company has a qualified employee benefit plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all employees. Employees can contribute up to 15% of their salary to the plan on a pre-tax basis and the Company matches 100% of participants’ contributions up to the first 5.5% of each participant’s salary (increased to 6.0% in 2006). The Company’s matching contribution charged to operations related to this plan was approximately $2,641,000, $2,634,000 and $2,224,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company and certain subsidiary banks have deferred compensation plans for the benefit of the Company’s former chief executive officer. Payments under the plans commenced March 15, 1997 and March 15, 2002, and continue for a period of 15 years. In connection with the plans, the banks purchased single premium life insurance policies on the life of the officer. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the cash surrender value of the policies was $2,852,000 and $2,766,000, respectively.

Additionally, the Company and several of its subsidiary banks own life insurance policies to provide for the payment of death benefits related to existing deferred compensation and supplemental income plans maintained for the benefit of certain presidents, employees and directors of such banks. The total cash surrender value of such policies at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $17,265,000 and $16,516,000, respectively. The Company recorded expense of $353,000, $304,000 and $967,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, for these plans.

The Company sponsors a Performance Share Plan (the PSP) to offer long-term incentives in addition to current compensation to certain key executives. The PSP is governed by the Company’s Compensation Committee, which may prescribe different criteria for payment for different participants in the PSP. Such criteria may be expressed in terms of (i) the growth in net income per share during the award period, or (ii) average return on average equity in comparison with other banks and bank holding companies, or (iii) other reasonable bases. The vesting period for awards is generally four years. Under the plan 800,000 shares have been reserved for issuances.

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 2006 is 25,000 shares. Expense recorded for the 2000 Subsidiary PSP was $90,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

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 vested over a sixty-month period and were fully vested as of December 31, 2004. Since the stock options are fully vested there was no expense recorded in 2005 related to the LTI Plan. Expense recorded for the LTI Plan was $126,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not grant any stock options. Total compensation expense recorded for the stock option plans was $0, $126,000 and $143,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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, non-employee directors may choose to have all or part of the cash and/or stock equivalents they would normally receive as compensation deferred for future payment, at such time and in such manner as such directors specify at the time of the election, so long as any annuity payment period does not exceed ten years. The cash portion of the deferral of compensation account earns interest at a rate which approximates the Company’s short-term borrowing rate. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no deferred cash payments under directors deferral of compensation plans. Dividends earned on stock equivalent portions are credited to the deferral of compensation account in the form of additional stock equivalents. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the amount deferred under the terms of these plans totaled $2,953,000 and $2,465,000, respectively. For the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, approximately $375,000, $333,000 and $368,000, respectively, was expensed under these plans. One of the Company’s subsidiary banks has a deferred compensation plan whereby directors may elect to have all or a portion of their compensation deferred. Compensation eligible for deferral under the plan was $22,000, $21,000 and $23,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, amounts payable under the plan totaled $196,000 and $174,000, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

Investment, Available for Sale, and Trading Securities

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

Loans

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

Deposits

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

Federal Funds Purchased and Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Long-Term Debt

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

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, 2005, the required reserves totaled $59,205,000.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, securities with carrying values of $440,853,000 and $461,717,000, 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, 2005,

$111,429,000 of the retained earnings of the subsidiary banks are available for payment of dividends to the Company under the various regulatory requirements, without special approval from the applicable regulators.

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to 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, 2005, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Company’s subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the subsidiary banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

At December 31, 2005, the regulatory capital ratios of the Company’s subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum ratios required for well-capitalized banks as defined by federal banking regulators. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company’s subsidiary banks must maintain minimum Total Qualifying Capital, Tier I Capital and leverage ratios of at least 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively.

Segment Reporting

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

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

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