18 8 Management's Discussion and Analysis of - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is presented on the following pages. The principal purpose of this review is to provide the user of the attached financial statements and accompanying footnotes with a more detailed analysis of the financial results of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. ("BancGroup"). Among other things, this discussion provides commentary on BancGroup's history, operating philosophies, the components of net interest margin and balance sheet strength as measured by the quality of assets, the composition of the loan portfolio and capital adequacy. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND BancGroup (or the "Company") was established in 1981 with one bank and $166 million in assets. Through 32 acquisitions the Company has now grown to a $3.7 billion multistate bank holding company with substantial centralized operations, local lending autonomy with centralized loan review and a strong commercial lending function. During 1995 the Company acquired Colonial Mortgage Company and expanded its operations into the Atlanta, Georgia market. More importantly BancGroup's earnings per share have increased an average of 26.9% per year since 1990 and in 1995 the Company achieved a 17.94% return on average equity and a 1.20% return on average assets. BancGroup's performance goals are: 1) an annual earnings per share growth rate in excess of 10%, 2) a 17.5% return on equity, 3) a 1.45% return on assets and 4) a consistently increasing dividend. The strategies employed to achieve these results are outlined below. They represent the foundation upon which BancGroup operates and the basis for achieving the Company's goals. - - COMMUNITY BANK: BancGroup operates as a community bank allowing autonomy in lending decisions and customer relationships. This operating philosophy has been important in making acquisitions, retaining a skilled and highly motivated management team and in developing a strong customer base, particularly with respect to lending relationships. - - COMMERCIAL LENDING: Commercial lending primarily through groups located in the Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery and Anniston, Alabama metropolitan centers has been a major factor in the Company's growth. Commercial real estate and other commercial loans increased 13.1% during 1995 following a 19.4% increase in 1994. BancGroup has been very successful in competing for these loans against other larger financial institutions, due primarily to the Company's local lending strategy and management continuity. - - CONSUMER REAL ESTATE: Since 1993 BancGroup has focused on residential real estate lending as a means to increase consumer lending, broaden the Company's customer base and create a significant stream of fee income. In furtherance of this goal, in February, 1995 BancGroup acquired Colonial Mortgage Company ("CMC"), one of the 70 largest mortgage loan servicers in the country. BancGroup has increased residential mortgage loans 352% from December 31, 1992 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 1995. The portfolio of mortgage loans has a relatively low credit risk and CMC's $9 billion portfolio of loans serviced for others provides a steady source of noninterest income. - - GROWTH MARKET EXPANSION: In October, 1995 BancGroup completed the acquisition of Mt. Vernon Financial Corporation, an Atlanta, Georgia based thrift with $225 million in assets. In addition BancGroup has signed definitive agreements to merge with Commercial Bank of Georgia, a $220 million bank in the north Atlanta area, and Southern Bank of Central Florida, a $230 million bank in Orlando, Florida. These acquisitions will provide BancGroup with a significant base of operations in the Southeast's two fastest growing markets. - - COST CONTROL: An operational and organizational infrastructure established in prior years has allowed the Company to grow significantly and improve the efficiency ratio from 76.69% in 1990 to 60.32% in 1995. The operating structure is built around centralized back-shop operations in areas that do not have direct customer contact. As noted above, this structure has served the Company well over the past few years and should allow for continued growth at a low marginal cost. In order to further enhance the cost efficiencies already established and position the Company for more rapid growth, in 1995 BancGroup completed a reengineering study to streamline transaction processing, increase the cost-effective use of technological resources and identify potential revenue enhancements. - - CAPITAL UTILIZATION: Management's goal is to provide a greater than 17.5% return on capital while effectively utilizing internally created capital and exceeding regulatory capital requirements. BancGroup has an asset generating capability that can effectively utilize the capital generated. This capability is most evident in the Company's 25% internal growth in loans during 1995. As part of this capability the CMC acquisition 19 9 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- provides asset generating sources for mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights. - - ASSET QUALITY: Maintenance of high asset quality is at the forefront of the Company's strategy to allow for consistent earnings growth. The Company's asset quality is demonstrated by its charge-off history and nonperforming asset levels, which compare favorably to its peer group. On December 31, 1993 the Company completed the acquisition of First AmFed Corporation, Huntsville, Alabama. This transaction increased total nonperforming assets in l993 by $12.8 million to 1.31% of loans and other real estate. This ratio was reduced to .78% as of December 31, 1995 primarily through sales of other real estate. Net charge-offs over the past 5 years have consistently compared favorably with the Company's peer group and were only .13% of average loans in 1995 and .09% in 1994. - - STOCK RECLASSIFICATION: On February 21, 1995 BancGroup reclassified its two classes of common stock into one class. This action eliminates the super voting rights of the previously existing Class B common stock and establishes the rights of all stockholders on an equal basis. Management believes the reclassification will significantly increase the market acceptance of the Company's common stock and therefore enhance its ability to expand through acquisitions. Subsequent to the reclassification, and as part of this strategy for broader market acceptance, BancGroup listed its common stock for trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 24, 1995. Obviously the Company cannot guarantee its success in implementing the initiatives or reaching the goals set out previously. The following analysis of financial condition and results of operations provide details with respect to this summary material and demonstrates trends concerning the initiatives taken through l995. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACQUISITIONS A principal part of BancGroup's strategy is to acquire other financial institutions in order to increase the Company's market share in existing markets, expand into other growth markets, more efficiently absorb the Company's overhead and add profitable new lines of business. During 1995 BancGroup completed the following acquisitions of other financial institutions: (Dollars in thousands)

The acquisition of Colonial Mortgage Company was accounted for using a method of accounting similar to a pooling of interest, and the Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect the pooling, as if it had occurred as of the earliest date presented. The other three 1995 acquisitions were accounted for as purchases, and the operations and income of the acquired institutions are included in the income of BancGroup from the date of purchase. Each of the acquired institutions that were accounted for as purchases was merged into Colonial BancGroup or one of its subsidiaries as of the listed dates, and the income and expenses have not been separately accounted for since the respective mergers. For this reason and due to the fact that significant changes have been made to the cost structure of each acquired institution, a separate determination of the impact after acquisition of earnings of BancGroup for 1994 and 1995 cannot reasonably be determined. The acquisitions have had an impact on the comparisons of operating results for 1994 and 1995 with prior years. Where such information is determinable it has been identified and discussed in the discussion of results of operations and financial condition that follows. 20 10 COLONIAL MORTGAGE COMPANY On February 17, 1995 BancGroup completed the acquisition of Colonial Mortgage Company. This acquisition represents a major step in achieving several BancGroup strategic goals. A principal initiative of BancGroup for the past several years has been to increase fee income through establishment of additional lines of business that provide natural extensions of existing products or services. CMC in this regard provides an excellent fit for the following reasons: FEE INCOME CMC, at December 31, 1995, provided servicing for approximately 118,000 customers with a total outstanding balance of $9.1 billion. The servicing revenues from this portfolio plus other fee income from CMC provided approximately 50% of BancGroup's noninterest income in 1995 and 1994. CONSUMER REAL ESTATE LENDING CMC, through its wholesale and retail offices, originated over $5 billion in residential real estate loans from 1993 through 1995. These loans have primarily been fixed rate loans sold into the secondary markets. However, since the latter part of 1994 Colonial Bank has been acquiring adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans originated by CMC. This program provides CMC additional loan products for its branch network. In addition, CMC provides the Bank with fixed rate loan products for its customers. GROWTH MARKET EXPANSION CMC currently originates residential mortgages in 29 states through 6 regional offices and services 118,000 customers located in 35 states. These locations provide BancGroup with a broader market base to solicit business and include areas which currently have greater growth rates than BancGroup's existing branch locations. These areas include Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, Milwaukee and Phoenix. CAPITAL UTILIZATION CMC's growth has previously been somewhat limited due to its ownership structure as part of a private company. The combination of BancGroup and CMC provides additional resources for the expansion of CMC's low cost servicing operation through bulk purchases of servicing. In addition CMC provides another source of loans for the Bank's portfolio including ARM loans and equity lines. CUSTODIAL DEPOSITS CMC maintains custodial accounts for its loan customers for the payment of taxes and insurance as well as collection of principal and interest. The balances in these accounts averaged approximately $121 million and $94 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. These balances, most of which were in other financial institutions in 1994, have been deposited into Colonial Bank in 1995. As a result these balances represent 25% of the 37% increase in average noninterest bearing demand deposits from 1994 to 1995. These balances have a positive impact on BancGroup's net interest margin by providing a noninterest bearing source of funds. CONTINUITY AND CONSISTENCY OF MANAGEMENT Robert E. Lowder, Chairman and CEO of BancGroup has been Chairman and CEO of CMC for 25 years. In addition, Ronnie Wynn has been the president of CMC for 19 years and is a former president of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. This continuation of management has provided a very smooth transition in management and operating philosophy. CROSS-SELLING OF CUSTOMERS BancGroup has established a personal banking unit to solicit other business from CMC customers, such as equity lines and deposits. In addition, BancGroup plans to expand other customer relationships through establishment of deposit relationships with CMC customers, acceptance of CMC payments in branches, and establishing a linkage between construction and permanent lending. 21 11 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The major components of BancGroup's net income are:
(In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $ 118,442 $ 104,681 $ 82,055 Provision for possible loan losses (5,480) (6,481) (7,945) Noninterest income 50,175 44,243 40,433 Noninterest expense (103,230) (100,791) (86,520) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Pretax income 59,907 41,652 28,023 Taxes (21,113) (14,342) (8,886) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Income before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes 38,794 27,310 19,137 Extraordinary loss -- -- (463) Cumulative effect of accounting change -- -- 3,219 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 38,794 $ 27,310 $ 21,893 - ----------------------------------------------------------
Consistently increasing net income is a primary goal of management. Earnings (income before extraordinary items and accounting changes) increased 42% in 1995, 43% in 1994 and 23% in 1993. The most significant factors affecting income for 1995, 1994 and 1993 are highlighted below and discussed in greater detail in subsequent sections. - - An increase in 1995 of 20.3% in average earning assets. This follows an increase of 31.4% in 1994. - - An increase of $5.9 million (13%) and $3.8 million (9%) in noninterest income in 1995 and 1994, respectively. - - Maintenance of high asset quality and reserve coverage ratios. Net charge-offs were $3.1 million or .13% of average net loans in 1995 and $1.7 million or .09% of average net loans in 1994. In recognition of these low net charge-offs loan loss provisions were reduced $1.5 million in 1994 and $1 million in 1995. - - Loan growth, excluding acquisitions, of 25% in 1995 following an increase of 18% in 1994. - - An increase in loans as a percent of average earning assets to 82.1% in 1995 from 77.5% in 1994. - - Noninterest expenses as a percent of average assets were reduced to 3.19% in 1995 from 3.70% in 1994. - - 1993 includes a $463,000 extraordinary loss from the early redemption of subordinated convertible debt and $3,219,000 in income from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets (interest income) and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest expense). Three year comparisons of net interest income in dollars and yield on a tax equivalent basis are reflected on the following schedule on page 24. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.26% in 1994 compared to 4.25% in 1993 and 4.41% in 1992. Over this period net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased to S104.8 million in 1994 from $79.5 million in 1993 and $67.9 million in 1992. The principal factors affecting the Company's yields and net interest income are discussed in the following paragraphs. LEVELS OF INTEREST RATES After declining consistently from 1989 through 1992 and remaining virtually flat throughout 1993, short-term interest rates increased dramatically throughout 1994 and continued to increased into the late 1995 before starting to decline. For example, the average fed funds rate for overnight bank borrowings was 2.99% in December 1993, 5.45% in December 1994 and reached 6.00% in 1995 before decreasing to 5.50% in December 1995. The Company's prime rate increased from 6.0% in 1993 to 8.5% in 1994 and continued to increase to 9.0% midyear 1995 before declining to 8.5% in December 1995. Long-term rates declined throughout 1995, with the 30-year treasury bond ending 1994 at 7.93% and declining to 5.95% in December 1995. Net interest margin remained virtually flat from 1993 too 1994, while increasing competitive pressures resulted in an increase in cost of funds in 1995. This increase along with a change in the Company's loan mix is primarily responsible for the decreases in margin from 4.34% in the first quarter of 1995 to 3.95% in the fourth quarter of 1995. ACQUISITIONS The thrift acquisitions completed during 1993 and 1995 had a negative impact on the Company's net interest yield due primarily to the fact that these institutions had virtually no noninterest-bearing deposits. The rates on the interest-bearing deposits in the acquired institutions were slightly higher than the Company's rates and were adjusted to BancGroup products and rates within a short time after the mergers. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES - - COST OF FUNDS Rates paid on new time deposits and variable rate deposits increased during 1994 and continued to increase through 1995. Competitive pressures on these deposit rates increased in 1995 resulting in a higher cost of funds from 3.83% for 1994 to 523% for 1995. 22 12 INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS - - GROWTH IN EARNING ASSETS One of the most significant factors in the Company's increase in income for 1995 has been the 20.3% increase in average interest-earning assets. This follows a 31.4% increase in 1994. In addition and equally significant, net loans increased $782 million (37.3%) from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995. Earning assets as a percentage of total average assets also increased from 88.3% in 1993 to 90.2% in 1994 to 91.3%in 1995. - - MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE The level and direction of long-term interest rates had a dramatic impact on the volume of mortgage loan originations, causing the average balance of mortgage loans for sale to decline from $242 million in 1993 to $98 million in 1995. Mortgage loans held for sale represent single family residential mortgage loans originated or acquired by Colonial Mortgage then packaged and sold in the secondary market. Colonial Mortgage incurs gains or losses associated with rate fluctuations. Colonial Mortgage limits its risk associated with the sale of these loans through an active hedging program which generally provides for sales commitments on all loans funded. Mortgage loans held for sale are funded primarily with short-term borrowings. - - CHANGING LOAN MIX During 1995 all categories of loans increased. The most significant increase was in residential real estate loans increasing from 40.9% of total loans at December 31, 1994 to 49.1% at December 31, 1995. These loans are predominantly adjustable rate mortgages which have a low level of credit risk and accordingly have lower yields than other loans. 23 13 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE VOLUME AND RATES

(1) Increases (decreases) are attributed to volume changes and rate changes on the following basis: Volume Change = change in volume times old rate. Rate Change = change in rate times old volume. The Rate/Volume Change = change in volume x change in rate, and it is allocated between Volume Change and Rate Change at the ratio that the absolute value of each of those components bear to the absolute value of their total. (2) Interest earned and average rates on obligations of states and political subdivisions are reflected on a tax equivalent basis. Tax equivalent interest earned as actual interest earned times 145%. Tax equivalent average rate is tax equivalent interest earned divided by average volume. (3) Dividends earned and average rates on preferred stock are reflected on a tax equivalent basis. Tax equivalent dividends earned are actual dividends times 137.7%. Tax equivalent average rate is tax equivalent dividends divided by average volume. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST INCOME BancGroup derives approximately 50% of its noninterest income from mortgage banking related activities with the remaining 50% from traditional retail banking services including various deposit account charges, safe deposit box rentals and credit life commissions. Prior to the CMC acquisition on February 17, 1995, BancGroup had not acquired other well-established ancillary income sources, such as trust operations, mortgage banking or credit card services with any of its acquisitions. One of the most important goals from 1993 through 1995 has been to increase noninterest income. The impact of this acquisition is evident by the volume of revenue included in the category entitled mortgage servicing fees. CMC has servicing and subservicing agreements under which it services 118,000, 83,000 and 68,000 mortgage loans with principal balances of $9.1 billion, $6.4 billion and $4.6 billion on December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This servicing portfolio generated servicing fee and late charge income of approximately $23.4 million, $18.1 million and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. CMC through its wholesale and retail offices, originated $1.1 billion, $1.2 billion and $2.6 billion in residential real estate loans in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The increased volume in 1993 was primarily due to lower long-term interest rates which resulted in increased mortgage lending activity. Noninterest income from deposit accounts is significantly affected by competitive pricing on these services and the volume of noninterest-bearing accounts. During 1995 and 1994 average noninterest demand accounts (excluding CMC custodial deposits) increased 11.8% and 18.8%, respectively. This increase in volume and increases in service fee rates resulted in a 15% increase in service charge income in 1995 and a 12% increase in 1994. Other charges, fees, and commissions increased $411,000 (13%) in 1995 and $889,000 (40%) in 1994. The increase is primarily from credit card related fees, official check commissions and credit life commissions on residential mortgage and consumer loans. Acquisitions 25 15 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. And Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- have had a minimal impact on income in this area with most of the increase due to an emphasis on bottom line income as a result of the Company's incentive plan. The Company through CMC enters into offers to extend credit for mortgage loans to customers and into obligations to deliver and sell originated or acquired mortgage loans to permanent investors. Sales of loans servicing released resulted in income of $988,000, $539,000 and $1,820,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The remaining increase in other income of $1,953,000 from 1994 to 1995 is due primarily to a gain on sale of servicing as well as increases in income from safe deposit boxes, ATM transaction fees and various other sources with off-setting decreases in gain on sale of fixed assets and income from investment sales. BancGroup has an investment sales operation (primarily mutual funds and annuities). Fee income generated from this and other investment services activities totaled $649,000, $990,000 and $770,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in other income in 1994 was primarily due to the investment sales programs as previously indicated and a gain on sale of fixed assets with various other smaller decreases. Securities gains and losses in each of the three years were not significant. While certain securities are considered available for sale, BancGroup currently intends to hold substantially all of its securities portfolio for investment purposes. Realized gains or losses in this portfolio are generally the result of calls of securities or sales of securities within the six months prior to maturity.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST EXPENSE The impact of the acquisitions completed from 1993 through 1995 is reflected most noticeably in the increase in net interest income, discussed previously, as well as the 19% increase from 1993 to 1995 in noninterest expense as shown in the schedule following. These acquisitions have been the most significant factor in the increase in numbers of branches from 72 at December 31, 1992 to 102 at December 31, 1995. The decrease in noninterest expense as a percent of average assets from 4.08% in 1993 to 3.70% in 1994 to 3.19% in 1995 is a direct result of the increased efficiency generated by this growth. The foundation for the efficiencies gained in 1995 and 1994 was laid in 1989 and 1990 when the Company established its current operating structure (regional and community banks supported by centralized backshop operations). Salaries and benefits decreased $3.6 million or 8% in 1995 and increased $4.9 million or 13% in 1994. The decrease in 1995 is primarily due to increased deferred cost associated with loan originations discussed in a following paragraph and a reduction in certain staffing levels throughout BancGroup, particularly at CMC as a result of the decline in origination activity discussed earlier that began in 1994. The incentive plan has been a major factor in the Company's ability to contain cost and increase income. The increase in 1994 was primarily due to acquisitions and other expansion efforts. In addition to the increase in expenses related to growth, advertising and public relations expenses have increased $1,007,000 or 39% and $1,006,000 or 64% in 1995 and 1994, respectively, in concentrated efforts to expand the Company's customer base and take advantage of increased market share in certain key markets. Other expenses in 1995, 1994 and 1993 include approximately $ 500,000, $1,200,000 and $960,000, respectively associated with various acquisition efforts. As discussed in Note 1 to BancGroup's Consolidated Financial Statements, BancGroup defers certain salary and benefit costs associated with loan originations and amortizes these costs as yield adjustments over the life of the related loans. The amount of costs deferred increased from $3,989,000 in 1993 to $4,717,000 in 1994 and $8,907,000 in 1995 due to changes in the mix of loans and increases in the number of loans closed. 26 16 Cost control and the capacity to absorb future growth continue to be a major focus for management. The Company has taken several steps to achieve this goal and to attempt to improve BancGroup's efficiency ratio. The incentive plan and its profit-based rewards represent a key element in the plan. During 1994 BancGroup also increased its data processing capacity through a major upgrade. The cost of this upgrade is reflected in equipment expenses in 1994 and 1995. Finally, and most importantly, in 1995 the Company invested in a reengineering study. This study reviewed the Company's retail delivery systems to better position the company for future growth, product expansion and customer service. The cost of the study (approximately $2 million) was included in other expense. The study had some impact on 1995 through lower salary cost and increased fee income with the major impact to be achieved in 1996. The Company's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in two separate funds; the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). Legislation has been proposed in Congress to recapitalize the SAIF with a special one-time charge estimated to be .75% of the deposits insured by SAIF. This recapitalization would allow a reduction in the current .23% average annual premium rate. BancGroup has approximately $719 million in SAIF deposits, after adjusting for certain allowances in the current proposal, which would be subject to the special assessment. Management cannot determine if or when a special assessment may actually be imposed. The assessment will result in a charge to after tax earnings and equity of approximately $3.4 million.

BancGroup is subject to federal and state taxes at combined rates of approximately 38% for regular tax purposes and 23% for alternative minimum tax purposes. These rates are reduced or increased for certain nontaxable income or nondeductible expenses, primarily consisting of tax exempt interest income, partially taxable dividend income, and nondeductible amortization of goodwill. In 1993 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The impact of the adoption of this statement was the recognition in the first quarter of 1993 of income in the amount of $3,219,000, which is shown in the financial statements as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. Also in 1993, the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 effectively increased the Company's Federal tax rate by 1% to 35% based on taxable income. Management's goal is to minimize income tax expense and maximize cash yield on earning assets by increasing or decreasing its tax exempt securities and/or investment in preferred and common stock. Accordingly, BancGroup's investment in tax exempt securities was increased in 1993, 1994 and 1995. 27 17 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW Ending balances of selected components of the Company's balance sheet changed from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 as follows:
(In thousands) INCREASE (DECREASE) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Amount % - ---------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $902,874 31.8 Securities available for sale and investment securities 24,492 6.0 Mortgage loans held for sale 49,950 82.5 Loans, net of unearned income 781,878 37.3 Deposits 614,494 28.3 - ----------------------------------------------------------
Management continuously monitors the financial condition of BancGroup in order to protect depositors, increase shareholder value and protect current and future earnings. The most significant factors affecting BancGroup's financial condition from 1993 through 1995 have been: - - An increase in residential mortgage loans from 26.7% of total loans at December 31, 1992 to 49.1% at December 31, 1995. This increase has resulted from the acquisition of thrifts as well as from loans CMC produced for the Company's portfolio. BancGroup has continued to place emphasis on these loans as a major product line which has a relatively low loss ratio. - - Internal loan growth of 25% in 1995 excluding acquisitions. - - A 37.4% increase in 1995 in average noninterest bearing demand deposits with 25.6% of the increase from CMC custodial deposits and the remainder substantially from internal growth. - - Maintenance of high asset quality and reserve coverage of nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets were .78%, .90% and 1.31% of related assets at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Net charge-offs were .13%, .09% and .33% of average loans over the same periods. The allowance for possible loan losses was 1.28% at December 31, 1995, providing 271% coverage of non-performing loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated). - - Increase in tier one leverage ratios from 5.59% at December 31, 1993 to 6.19% at December 31, 1995. - - An increase in the loan to deposit ratio from 96.4% at December 31, 1994 to 103.2% at December 31, 1995. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings continue to be a major source of funding allowing the Company greater funding flexibility. - - Increase of $50 million in mortgage loans held for sale primarily as a result of decreases in long-term interest rates in late 1995. These items, as well as a more detailed analysis of BancGroup's financial condition, are discussed in the following sections. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS Growth in loans and maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio are the principal ingredients to improved earnings. This goal is achieved in various ways as outlined below: - - Management's emphasis, within all of BancGroup's banking regions, is on loan growth in accordance with local market demands and the lending experience and expertise in the regional and county banks. The regional banks are diverse in the loan demands of their areas and in their lending expertise, resulting in a fairly diversified portfolio without significant concentration of risk. - - Management believes that its strategy of meeting local demands and utilizing local lending expertise has proven successful. Management also believes that any existing concentrations of loans, whether geographically, by industry or by borrower do not expose BancGroup to unacceptable levels of risk. - - BancGroup has a significant concentration of residential real estate loans representing 49.1% of total loans. These loans are substantially all mortgages on single-family, owner occupied properties and therefore have minimal credit risk. While a major portion of these loans was acquired with the thrift acquisitions, the Company has continued to grow this portfolio with a $554 million or 65% increase in these loans in 1995. A portion of this growth, approximately $246 million, is due to adjustable rate mortgages originated by CMC and acquired by Colonial Bank. Residential mortgage loans are predominately adjustable rate loans and therefore have not resulted in any material change in the Company's rate sensitivity. 28 18 - - The most significant industry concentration is in loans collateralized by commercial real estate with loan balances of $623,805,000, $574,155,000, $480,071,000, $376,000,000, and $312,346,000, at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. BancGroup's commercial real estate loans are spread geographically throughout Alabama and other areas with no more than 30% of these loans in any one geographic area. The Alabama economy experiences a generally slow but steady rate of growth. For this reason, real estate values have not been inflated due to excessive speculation and BancGroup's real estate related loans continue to perform at acceptable levels. - - BancGroup makes mortgage loans on a short-term basis (generally less than ninety days) while these loans are being packaged for sale in the secondary market. These loans are classified as mortgage loans held for sale with balances totaling $110,486,000, $60,536,000, $361,496,000, $144,215,000 and $105,219,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. There is minimal credit risk associated with these loans. During 1991, 1992 and 1993 the total balances invested in these types of loans increased significantly due primarily to large volumes of mortgage refinancing. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale during 1994 and subsequent increase in 1995 are directly related to the fluctuation in long-term interest rates and its related impact on mortgage loan refinancing. These loans are funded principally with short-term borrowings, providing a relatively high margin for these funds. - - As discussed more fully in subsequent sections, management has determined to maintain adequate liquidity and liquidity sources. BancGroup has arranged funding sources in addition to customer deposits which provide the capability for the Company to exceed a 100% loan to deposit ratio and maintain adequate liquidity. - - Internal loan growth has been a major factor in the Company's increasing earnings with growth rates of 25% in 1995, 18.2% in 1994, 11.4% in 1993 and 7.0% in 1992 excluding acquisitions. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GROSS LOANS BY CATEGORY

As discussed in a subsequent section, BancGroup seeks to maintain adequate liquidity and minimize exposure to interest rate volatility. The goals of BancGroup with respect to loan maturities and rate sensitivity have been and will continue to be to focus on shorter term maturities and floating or adjustable rate loans. At December 31, 1995, approximately 55% of loans were floating rate or adjustable rate loans compared to 54% at December 31, 1994. Contractual maturities may vary significantly from actual maturities due to loan extensions, early payoffs due to refinancing and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates are also a major factor in early loan pay-offs. The uncertainties, particularly with respect to interest rates, of future events make it difficult to predict the actual maturities. BancGroup has not maintained records related to trends of early pay-off since management does not believe such trends would present any significantly more accurate estimate of actual maturities than the contractual maturities presented. 29 19 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOAN MATURITY/RATE SENSITIVITY

LOAN QUALITY A major key to long-term earnings growth is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. BancGroup's directive in this regard is carried out through its policies and procedures for review of loans and through a company wide senior credit administration function. This function participates in the loan approval process with the regional banks and provides an independent review and grading of loan credits on a continual basis. BancGroup has standard policies and procedures for the evaluation of new credits, including debt service evaluations and collateral guidelines. Collateral guidelines vary with the credit worthiness of the borrower, but generally require maximum loan-to-value ratios of 85% for commercial real estate and 90% for residential real estate. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are generally collateralized by business inventory, accounts receivables or new business equipment at 50%, 80% and 90% of estimated value, respectively. Installment and consumer loan collateral where required is based on 90% loan to value ratios. Based on the above policies, procedures and loan review program, BancGroup determines its allowance for possible loan losses and the amount of provision for loan losses. The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb potential losses on loans present in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is affected by: (1) loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; (2) recoveries on loans previously charged-off, which increase the allowance; (3) the provision for possible loan losses charged to income, which increases the allowance, and (4) the allowance for loan losses of acquired banks. In determining the provision for possible loan losses in an effort to evaluate portfolio risks, it is necessary for management to monitor fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and to periodically review the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated economic conditions. The goal and result of these policies and procedures is to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition. LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE During 1995 the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans increased to .13% from .09% in 1994. This increase has been impacted by the increase in average loans but also by an increase of approximately $1.4 million in actual net charge-offs. Net charge-offs as a percent of net loans for the past five years have fluctuated from a high of .51% in 1991 to a low of .09% in 1994. From 1990 through 1992, a period during which the national economy went through a recession, BancGroup's annual charge-off ratio averaged .49% with only a .04% variance between the high and low years. This consistently low and improving charge-off level has primarily been the result of the Company's localized lending strategies and early identification of potential problem loans. In addition, the current concentration of loans in residential real estate loans has had a favorable impact on net charge-offs. The schedule on the following page reflects greater than 100% coverage of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated) by the allowance for loan losses. Management has not targeted any specific coverage ratio in excess of 100%, and the coverage ratio may fluctuate significantly as larger loans are placed into or removed from nonperforming status. Management's focus has rather been on establishing reserves related to an earlier identification of potential problem loans. The increase in the coverage ratio from 246% at December 31, 1991 to 271% at December 31, 1995 reflects added reserves due to the growth in loans and the relatively consistent level of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated), coupled with management's decision to maintain and in fact increase reserves due to economic uncertainties. 30 20 Management is committed to maintaining adequate reserve levels to absorb future losses. This commitment has allowed BancGroup to weather economic uncertainties without disruption of its earnings.

31 21 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONPERFORMING ASSETS BancGroup classifies problem loans into four categories: nonaccrual, past due, renegotiated and other potential problems. When management determines a loan no longer meets the criteria for performing loans and collection of interest appears doubtful, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. All loans that are 90 days past due are considered nonaccrual unless they are adequately collateralized, they are in the process of collection, and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of principal and interest. BancGroup's policy is also to charge off installment loans 120 days past due unless they are in the process of foreclosure and are adequately collaterlized. Management closely monitors all loans which are contractually 90 days past due, renegotiated or nonaccrual. These loans are summarized as follows:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONPERFORMING ASSETS DECEMBER 31 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate loans for which interest is not being accrued $12,600 $ 8,293 $ 8,139 $ 7,142 $ 5,957 Aggregate loans renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower 1,035 2,360 117 476 620 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans 13,635 10,653 8,256 7,618 6,577 Other real estate 8,619 8,118 15,021 8,066 5,042 Repossessions 162 81 88 103 150 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming assets * $22,416 $18,852 $23,365 $15,787 $11,769 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate loans contractually past due 90 days for which interest is being accrued $ 1,029 $ 2,559 $ 2,218 $ 1,450 $ 1,597 Total nonperforming loans as a percent of net loans 0.47% 0.51% 0.47% 0.65% 0.60% Total nonperforming assets as a percent of net loans, other real estate and repossessions 0.78% 0.90% 1.31% 1.34% 1.07% Total nonaccrual, renegotiated and past due loans as a percent of total loans 0.51% 0.63% 0.59% 0.77% 0.75% Allowance for loan loss as a percent of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated) 271% 314% 347% 246% 246% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Total does not include loans contractually past due 90 days or more which are still accruing interest. Fluctuations from year to year in the balances of nonperforming assets are attributable to several factors including changing economic conditions in various markets, nonperforming assets obtained in various acquisitions and the disproportionate impact of larger (over $500,000) individual credits. On December 31, 1993 BancGroup completed the acquisition of First AmFed Corporation. With this acquisition the Company recorded $11.2 million in other real estate, $1.6 million in nonaccrual loans, and $.5 million in 90 day past due loans that were still accruing. The carrying value of these nonperforming assets was adjusted at the acquisition date to their current estimated fair values based on BancGroup's intention to dispose of them in the most expeditious and profitable manner. Excluding these nonperforming assets acquired with First AmFed, the Company's nonperforming asset ratio would have been .64% at December 31, 1993 compared to 1.31% noted above. During 1994 a substantial portion of these problem assets, particularly other real estate, was disposed of and the nonperforming asset ratio was reduced to .90%. In the fourth quarter of 1992, three large loans totaling $4.9 million were placed in nonperforming status, including one apartment loan ($1.3 million) which was classified as an "in substance foreclosure." The other two loans were to an industrial trailer manufacturer and a health care services provider located in different geographic areas of Alabama. All of these loans were either charged-off ($.5 million), paid off ($1.3 million) or paid current ($3.1 million) in 1993 and removed from nonperforming status. The majority of the balance of renegotiated loans at December 31, 1994 and 1995 represents a bankruptcy credit on which the rate was reduced to below current market rate. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1995 were $12.6 million compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 1994. This increase is primarily in commercial real estate 32 22 loans from prior years' acquisitions and the Georgia acquisition completed in 1995. Management, through its loan officers, internal loan review staff and external examinations by regulatory agencies, has identified approximately $111 million of potential problem loans not included above. The status of these loans is reviewed at least quarterly by loan officers and the centralized loan review function and annually by regulatory agencies. In connection with such reviews collateral values are updated where considered necessary. If collateral values are judged insufficient or other sources of repayment inadequate, the loans are reduced to estimated recoverable amounts through increases in reserves allocated to the loans or charge-offs. As of December 31, 1995 substantially all of these loans are current with their existing repayment terms. Management believes that classification of such loans as potential problem loans well in advance of their reaching a delinquent status allows the Company the greatest flexibility in correcting problems and providing adequate reserves without disruption of earnings trends. Given the reserves and the ability of the borrowers to comply with the existing repayment terms, management believes any exposure from these potential problem loans has been adequately addressed at the present time. The above nonperforming loans and potential problem loans represent all material credits for which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Management also expects that the resolution of these problem credits as well as other performing loans will not materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. Interest income earned on nonaccrual loans was $589,000, $414,000, $93,000, $316,000 and $232,000 in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Interest income foregone on such loans was approximately $830,000, $731,000, $526,000, $279,000 and $618,000 in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, and 1991 respectively. On January 1, 1995, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting By Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition Disclosure. As a result, the following loans were considered impaired as of December 31, 1995. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

SECURITIES BancGroup determines on a daily basis the funds available for short-term investment. Funds available for long-term investment are projected based upon anticipated loan and deposit growth, liquidity needs, pledging requirements and maturities of securities, as well as other factors. Based on these factors and management's interest rate and income tax forecast, an investment strategy is determined. Significant elements of this strategy as of December 31, 1995 include: - - BancGroup's investment in U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies is substantially all pledged against public funds deposits. - - Investment alternatives which maximize the highest after-tax net yield are considered. - - Management has also attempted to increase the investment portfolio's overall yield by investing 33 23 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- funds in excess of pledging requirements in high-grade corporate notes and mortgage-backed securities. - - BancGroup's investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions has been increased during 1994 and 1995 since the Company receives full benefit for tax-advantaged investments. The investment strategy also incorporates high-grade preferred stocks when the tax equivalent yield on these investments provides an attractive alternative. The yields on these preferred stocks are adjusted on a short-term basis and provide tax advantaged income without long-term interest rate risk. - - The maturities of investment alternatives are determined in consideration of the yield curve, liquidity needs and the Company's asset/liability gap position. Throughout 1992 and 1993, management invested in securities with maturities of 5 years or less with the majority in the 2-3 year range. As interest rates increased and the Company's asset/liability gap position allowed, maturities were increased during 1994 to the 5-7 year range and reduced to the 2-3 year range in 1995. - - The risk elements associated with the various types of securities are also considered in determining investment strategies. U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency obligations are considered to contain virtually no default or prepayment risk. Mortgage-backed securities have varying degrees of risk of impairment of principal. Impairment risk is primarily associated with accelerated prepayments, particularly with respect to longer maturities purchased at a premium and interest-only strip securities. BancGroup's mortgage backed security portfolio as of December 31, 1995 or 1994 does not include any interest-only strips and the amount of unamortized premium on mortgage backed securities is approximately $123,000. The recoverability of BancGroup's investment in mortgage-backed securities is reviewed periodically, and where necessary, appropriate adjustments are made to income for impaired values. - - Obligations of state and political subdivisions, as well as other securities have varying degrees of credit risk associated with the individual borrowers. The credit ratings and the credit worthiness of these securities are reviewed periodically and appropriate reserves established when necessary. Securities available for sale represent those securities that BancGroup intends to hold for an indefinite period of time or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk and other similar factors. These securities are recorded at market value with unrealized gains or losses, net of any tax effect, added or deducted from shareholders' equity. The balance in securities available for sale increased from $78 million at December 31, 1994 to $160 million at December 31, 1995 partially as a result of a reclassification from investment securities of $38 million in December 1995 as allowed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to realign the portfolios without risk of penalties and $26 million from acquisitions. The Company took this opportunity to reclassify certain structured notes, corporate and municipal bonds to allow for possible disposition and certain treasury notes for liquidity purposes.

(1) The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the cost and effective yield weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. The weighted average yields on tax exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 35%. The taxable equivalent adjustment represents the annual amounts of income from tax exempt obligations multiplied by 145%. (2) This category excludes all corporate common and preferred stocks since these instruments have no maturity date. (3) Securities available for sale are shown as maturing within one year although BancGroup intends to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time. (See Contractual Maturities in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPOSITS BancGroup's deposit structure consists of the following:

The growth in deposits and the mix of deposits has been most significantly impacted in 1994 and 1995 by acquisitions. BancGroup acquired several thrift institutions from 1993 to 1995. As such, the level of noninterest-bearing demand deposits was less than 3% of the total deposits acquired with the major portion of acquired deposits in certificates of deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits have increased $100 million (28%) from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995. The increase in average noninterest demand deposits has been approximately 37.4%. Included in this 37.4% increase is approximately 25% related to an increase in custodial deposits of Colonial Mortgage Company with the remaining approximately 12% primarily related to internal growth throughout the Company's branch system. As noted above, the acquired thrifts did not add any significant amounts of noninterest-bearing demand accounts. However, the presence of such branches and customer relationships has attracted demand deposit accounts after the mergers. The Company also acquired two commercial banks in 1995 with approximately $12 million in non-interest bearing deposits at acquisition. The majority of the noninterest-bearing demand deposit growth is attributable to the Company's focus on developing customer relationships and sales efforts. BancGroup has attempted through its acquisition and branch expansion programs to increase its market presence in the State of Alabama and expand into other growth markets in the Southeast, the first of which was Atlanta in 1995. The principal goal is to provide the Company's retail customer base with convenient access 35 25 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to branch locations while enhancing the Company's potential for future increases in profitability. During 1995 BancGroup established retail banking, training and policies and procedures departments as well as continuing its branch automation project to reinforce the Company's goal of providing the customer with the best possible service. In connection with this goal, several other initiatives have been undertaken, including an electronic banking division which includes home banking, business banking, automatic teller, credit card and check card services. The Company has increased its automatic teller machine services by expanding into 67 WalMart locations throughout Alabama. Full service banking will be offered in nine WalMart locations in 1996 with eight located in Alabama and one in Tennessee. The Company is continuing its sales of investment products, such as mutual funds and annuities to customers seeking alternatives to deposit products. The overall goal of these steps has been to efficiently provide customers with the financial products they need and desire. In 1995 the Company initiated a brokered Certificate of Deposit (CD) program to offer CD's in increments of $1,000 to $99,000 to out of market customers at competitive rates and maturities. At December 31, 1995, $75 million of CD's were outstanding under this program. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings were comprised of the following at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993:
(In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements $131,115 $133,419 $104,818 Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings 465,000 210,000 190,150 Other short-term borrowings 1,141 1,131 1,000 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Total $597,256 $344,550 $295,968 - ----------------------------------------------------------
BancGroup has available Federal Funds lines from upstream banks including the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaling $558 million at December 31, 1995. In addition, correspondent banks and customers with repurchase agreements have provided a consistent base of short-term funds. BancGroup became a member of the FHLB in late 1992. As a member of the FHLB, BancGroup can borrow up to $850 million from the FHLB on either a short or long-term basis excluding funds available through the federal funds line. Short-term borrowings, including FHLB borrowings, have been used to fund short-term assets, primarily mortgage loans held for sale, and loans. During 1994 the volume of mortgage loans held for sale decreased significantly as long-term interest rates increased. FHLB borrowings have been used during 1994 and 1995 to fund loan growth. As discussed more fully in the "Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity" section of this report, the line of credit with the FHLB is considered a primary source of funding for the Company's asset growth. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY BancGroup has addressed its liquidity and interest rate sensitivity through its policies and structure for asset/liability management. It has created the Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALMCO"), the objective of which is to optimize the net interest margin while assuming reasonable business risks. ALMCO annually establishes operating constraints for critical elements of BancGroup's business, such as liquidity and rate sensitivity. ALMCO constantly monitors performance and takes action in order to meet its objectives. Of primary concern to ALMCO is maintaining adequate liquidity. Liquidity is the ability of an organization to meet its financial commitments and obligations on a timely basis. These commitments and obligations include credit needs of customers, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt when due and payment of operating expenses and dividends. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows identifies the three major sources and uses of cash (liquidity) as operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities reflect cash generated from operations. Management views cash flow from operations as a major source of liquidity. Investing activities represent a primary usage of cash with the major net increase being attributed to loan growth. When investment securities mature they are generally reinvested in new investment securities or assets held for sale. Financing activities generally provide funding for the growth in loans and investment securities with increased deposits. Short-term borrowings are used to provide funding for temporary gaps in the funding of long-term assets and deposits, as well as to provide funding for mortgage loans held for sale and loan growth. BancGroup has the ability to tap other markets for certificates of deposits and to utilize established lines for Federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. BancGroup maintains and builds diversified funding sources in order to provide flexibility in meeting its requirements. 36 26 From 1992 through 1995 the significant changes in the Company's cash flows have centered around loan growth and fluctuations in mortgage loans held for sale. Loan growth of $541 million in 1995 and $323 million in 1994 has been one of the principal uses of cash in both years. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale, was a principal source of cash in 1994 decreasing $301 million. In 1995 these loans increased, using $50 million in funds. As noted in previous sections, short-term borrowings increased $252 million in 1995 and were used to fund loan growth. Management has chosen to fund short-term fluctuations in the volume of mortgage loans held for sale with short-term borrowings as opposed to increasing rate sensitive deposits. Deposit growth of $367 million with $75 million from the previously discussed brokered CD program provided an additional source of funding for internal loan growth. As noted previously, the composition of the Company's loan portfolio has changed over the past three years. BancGroup at December 31, 1995 had $1.4 billion of residential real estate loans. These loans provide collateral for the current $850 million credit line at the FHLB. The FHLB unused credit capacity, $385 million at December 31, 1995, provides the Company significant flexibility in asset/liability management, liquidity and deposit pricing. In August,1993 the Company retired $15 million of its 1986 subordinated debentures which had a maturity date of 2011. The retirement of this debt was funded with a $15 million term note which requires an annual principal amortization of $1 million. The term note was reduced to a balance of $11,250,000 at December 31, 1995. In August 1995 BancGroup entered into a two year revolving line of credit for $15 million. This line of credit provides an additional source of funding for acquisition related activities. Management believes its liquidity sources and funding strategies are adequate given the nature of its asset base and current loan demand. The primary uses of funds as reflected in BancGroup's Parent Only Statement of Cash Flows were $2.7 million for the payment of interest on debt, $1.0 million for principal payment on term notes (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and $10.5 million for the payment of dividends. The Parent Company's primary source of funds was $13.4 million in dividends received from its Alabama subsidiary bank and $6.2 million in proceeds from the line of credit discussed previously. Dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited to the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under these limitations, approximately $54 million of retained earnings plus certain 1996 earnings would be available for distribution to BancGroup as dividends in 1996 without prior approval from the respective regulatory authorities. BancGroup anticipates that the cash flow needs of the parent company are well below the regulatory dividend restrictions of its subsidiary bank. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup's liquidity position was adequate with loan maturities of $735 million, or 26% of the total loan portfolio, due within one year. Investment securities totaling $185 million or 43% of the total portfolio also had maturities within one year or have been classified as available for sale. As of December 31, 1995 there were, however, no current plans to dispose of any significant portion of these securities. In addition BancGroup has $385 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB. BancGroup's asset/liability management policy has also established targets for interest rate sensitivity. Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in the net interest margin. It is ALMCO's goal to minimize volatility in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing the level, mix and maturities of assets and liabilities and by analyzing and taking action to manage mismatch and basis risk. The interest sensitivity schedule on page 38 reflects an 7.0% negative gap at 12 months. Based on this schedule, management believes that neither an increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a material swing in net income. Management has managed the asset/liability position of the bank through traditional sources. The Company does however, use off balance sheet instruments for hedging purposes to limit its risk associated with the sale of mortgage loans by providing sales commitments on all loans funded. The following table summarizes BancGroup's interest rate sensitivity as of December 31, 1995. 37 27 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the bottom of the table is the interest rate sensitivity gap which is the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. In reviewing the table, it should be noted that the balances are shown for a specific point in time and, because the interest sensitivity position is dynamic, it can change significantly over time. For all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, variable rate assets and liabilities are reflected in the time interval of the assets or liabilities' earliest repricing date. Fixed rate assets and liabilities have been allocated to various time intervals based on contractual repayment. Furthermore, the balances reflect contractual repricing of the deposits and management's position on repricing certain deposits where management discretion is permitted, prepayment assumptions are applied at a constant rate based on the Company's historial experience. Certain demand deposit accounts and regular savings accounts have been classified as repricing beyond one year in accordance with regulatory guidelines. While these accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, experience has shown them to be relatively rate insensitive. If these accounts were included in the 0 - 90 day category, the gap in that time frame would be a negative $526 million with a corresponding cumulative gap at one year of negative $594 million. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect shareholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management's strategy to achieve these goals is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to shareholders in the form of dividends and return on equity. BancGroup's dividend pay-out ratio in 1995 was 27%. This level is below the Company's target range of 30-45%. Dividend rates are determined by the Board of Directors in consideration of several factors including: current and projected capital ratios, liquidity and income levels and other bank dividend yields and payment ratios. The amount of a cash dividend, if any, rests with the discretion of the Board of Directors of BancGroup as well as upon applicable statutory constraints such as the Delaware law requirement that dividends may be paid only out of capital surplus or out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year. BancGroup also has access to equity capital markets through both public and private issuances. Management considers these sources and related return in addition to internally generated capital in evaluating future expansion or acquisition opportunities. The Federal Reserve Board has issued guidelines identifying minimum Tier I leverage ratios relative to total assets and minimum capital ratios relative to risk-adjusted assets. The minimum leverage ratio is 3% but is increased from 100 to 200 basis points based on a review of individual banks by the Federal Reserve. The minimum risk adjusted capital ratios established by the 38 28 Federal Reserve are 4% for Tier I and 8% for total capital. BancGroup's actual capital ratios and the components of capital and risk adjusted asset information as of December 31, 1995 are stated below: Capital (thousands): Tier I Capital: Shareholders' equity (excluding unrealized gain on securities available for sale) less intangibles $ 226,050 Tier II Capital: Allowable loan loss reserve 32,298 Subordinated debt 17,121 ---------- Total Capital $ 275,469 Risk Adjusted Assets (thousands) $2,579,230 Total Assets (thousands) $3,741,217
1995 1994 1993 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Tier I leverage ratio 6.19% 6.34% 5.59% Risk Adjusted Capital Ratios: Tier I Capital Ratio 8.76% 9.03% 8.44% Total Capital Ratio 10.68% 11.17% 10.64%
BancGroup has increased capital gradually through normal earnings retention as well as through stock registrations to capitalize acquisitions. In December 1995, BancGroup notified the holders of its 1985 Convertible Subordinated Debentures of redemption of all debentures outstanding at January 31, 1996. In 1996 substantially all of the debentures were converted resulting in the issuance of 403,299 shares of Common Stock and payment in cash for the remaining balance. (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.) REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS As noted previously on page 37, dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited. The subsidiary banks are also required by law to maintain noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve requirements. At December 31, 1995, these deposits totaled $47.4 million. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD RELEASES In 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of and SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock--Based Compensation. Both standards require adoption for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management believes that the adoption of these statements will not have a material impact on BancGroup's financial position or results of operation. In May 1995, effective January 1,1995, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 122 Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment to SFAS No. 65. (See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.) 39 29 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS THE COLONIAL BANCGROUP, INC. We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights in 1995, for investments in 1994 and for income taxes in 1993.

See notes to consolidated financial statements. 44 34 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. ("BancGroup") and its subsidiaries operate predominantly in the domestic commercial and mortgage banking industry. The accounting and reporting policies of BancGroup and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry. The following summarizes the most significant of these policies. BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The Consolidated Financial Statements of BancGroup for 1994 and 1993 have previously been restated to give retroactive effect to the February 17, 1995 acquisition of Colonial Mortgage Company, which is accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. (See Note 2) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of BancGroup and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks and Federal funds sold. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE--Effective January 1, 1994, BancGroup adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Under this statement, securities are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Held-to-maturity or investment securities are securities for which management has the ability and intent to hold on a long-term basis or until maturity. These securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums, and accretion of discount to the earlier of the maturity or call date. Securities available-for-sale represent those securities intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, including securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar factors. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at market value with unrealized gains and losses net of any tax effect, added or deducted directly from shareholders' equity. Securities carried in trading accounts are carried at market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method. Prior to 1994, securities available for sale and marketable equity securities were recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE--Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. The cost of mortgage loans held for sale is the mortgage note amount plus certain net origination costs less discounts collected. The cost of mortgage loans is adjusted by gains and losses generated from corresponding hedging transactions, principally using forward sales commitments, entered into to protect the inventory value of the loans from increases in interest rates. Hedge positions are also used to protect the pipeline of commitments to originate and purchase loans from changes in interest rates. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of the inventory, pipeline and open hedge positions are netted. Any net gain that results is deferred; any net loss that results is recognized when incurred. Hedging gains and losses realized during the commitment and warehousing period related to the pipeline and mortgage loans held for sale are deferred. Hedging losses are recognized currently if deferring such losses would result in mortgage loans held for sale and the pipeline being valued in excess of their estimated net realizable value. The aggregate cost of mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is less than their aggregate net realizable value. Gains or losses on the sale of Federal National Mortgage Association mortgage-backed securities are recognized on the earlier of the date settled or the date that a forward commitment to deliver a security to a dealer is effectively offset by a commitment to buy a similar security (paired off). These gains or losses are included in other income. LOANS--Loans are stated at face value, net of unearned income and allowance for possible loan losses. Interest income on loans is recognized under the "interest" method except for certain installment loans where interest income is recognized under the "Rule of 78's" (sum-of-the-months digits) method, which does not produce results significantly different from the "interest" method. Nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans are recognized under the interest method as a yield adjustment over the life of the corresponding loan. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES--BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition Disclosure, on January 1, 1995. Under the new standards, a loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Uncollateralized loans are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, while all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Smaller balance homogeneous loans which consist of residential mortgages and consumer loans are evaluated collectively and reserves are established based on historical loss experience. The adoption of SFAS 114 and 118 resulted in no additional provision for credit losses at January 1, 1995. At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with SFAS 114 totaled $13,366,000 and these loans had a corresponding valuation allowance 45 35 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of $4,517,000. The impaired loans at December 31, 1995, were measured for impairment based primarily on the value of underlying collateral. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $16,036,000. BancGroup recognized approximately $799,000 of interest on impaired loans during the portion of the year that they were impaired. BancGroup uses several factors in determining if a loan is impaired under SFAS No. 114. Generally, nonaccrual loans as well as loans classified by internal loan review are reviewed for impairment. The internal asset classification procedures include a thorough review of significant loans and lending relationships and include the accumulation of related data. This data includes loan payment status, borrower's financial data, and borrowers' operating factors such as cash flows, operating income or loss, etc. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Increases and decreases in the allowance due to changes in the measurement of the impaired loans are included in the provision for loan losses. Loans continue to be classified as impaired unless they are brought fully current and the collection of scheduled interest and principal is considered probable. When a loan or portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectable, the portion deemed uncollectable is charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and an analysis of current economic conditions. While management believes that it has established the allowance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment, there can be no assurance that in the future the Bank's regulators or its economic environment will not require further increases in the allowance. INCOME RECOGNITION ON IMPAIRED AND NONACCRUAL LOANS--Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well collateralized and in the process of collection. If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful or is partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as nonaccrual. Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal. While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal outstanding, except in the case of loans with scheduled amortizations where the payment is generally applied to the oldest payment due. When the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a nonaccrual loan has been partially charged off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the recorded loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Receipts in excess of that amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charge offs have been fully recovered. Interest income recognized on a cash basis was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Bank premises and equpment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives range from five to forty years for bank buildings and leasehold improvements and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of property, the asset account is relieved of the cost of the item and the allowance for depreciation is charged with accumulated depreciation. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current income. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED--Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at the lower of cost or market value less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down from the cost to market value required at the time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for possible loan losses. Subsequent write-downs and gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in noninterest income or expense. INTANGIBLE ASSETS--Intangible assets acquired in acquisitions of banks are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over a period not to exceed twenty years for the excess of cost over tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and ten years for deposit core base intangibles using the straight-line method. The recoverability of intangible assets is reviewed periodically based on the current earnings of acquired entities. If warranted, analysis, including undiscounted income projections, are made to determine if adjustments to carrying value or amortization periods are necessary. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS--BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, in May 1995 effective January 1,1995. This statement amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 65 to substantially eliminate the accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination activities and those acquired 46 36 through purchase transactions. The statement requires an allocation of the total cost of mortgage loans held for sale to mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale (without mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized primarily using an accelerated method in proportion to the estimated net servicing income from the related loans, which approximates a level yield method. The amortization period represents management's best estimate of the remaining loan lives. The carrying values of the mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on their fair values categorized by year of origination or acquisition. Fair values of servicing rights are determined by estimating the present value of future net servicing income considering the average interest rate and the average remaining lives of the related mortgage loans being serviced. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup had mortgage servicing rights (included in other assets) with a net book value of $80.1 million and excess servicing rights included in other assets with a net book value of $8.1 million. The estimated combined fair value of these assets is approximately $120 million. The servicing portfolio is geographically disbursed throughout the United States with a concentration in the southern states. The mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are stated net of accumulated amortization of approximately $25,903,000 and $27,235,000, respectively. Mortgage servicing fees are deducted from the monthly payments on mortgage loans and are recorded as income when earned. Fees from investors for servicing their portfolios of residential loans generally range from 1/4 of 1% to 1/2 of 1% per year on the outstanding principal balance. INCOME TAXES--Effective January 1, 1993, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which changed BancGroup's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method required under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method (See Note 18). The principal difference between the asset and liability method and deferred method is that, under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in statutory tax rates resulting in income adjustments in the period such changes are enacted. BancGroup files a consolidated income tax return; however, income taxes are computed by each subsidiary on a separate basis, and taxes currently payable are remitted to BancGroup. EARNINGS PER SHARE--Primary earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding and common stock equivalents which consists of shares issuable under outstanding stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share also gives effect to shares issuable under convertible debenture agreements. ADVERTISING COSTS--Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $3,592,000 and $2,585,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS--In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of (SFAS No. 121). This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. This statement also requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. SFAS No. 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have a material impact on BancGroup's financial statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) in October 1995. This statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. However, SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Entities electing to remain with the accounting in Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. BancGroup has elected to continue to measure compensation cost for their stock option plan under the provisions in APB Opinion 25. 2. ACQUISITIONS On February 17, 1995, BancGroup acquired Colonial Mortgage Company (CMC) and its parent company, The Colonial Company (TCC). At the acquisition date TCC's only asset was its investment in CMC. BancGroup issued 2,272,727 shares of its common stock and assumed the debts of TCC. At acquisition, the acquired entities had total assets of $71 million, total liabilities of $64 million, and total stockholders' equity of $7 million. This business combination by entities under common control was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. 47 37 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables show the effect of the above transaction on results of operations for the periods prior to the merger and shareholders' equity at January 1, 1993 (earliest date presented).

The combined financial results presented above include an adjustment made to conform accounting policies of the two companies. The adjustment was the restatement of CMC's 1993 net income for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle to SFAS 109, which CMC previously adopted and had elected to apply retroactively to 1991. The adjustment increased net income $2,059,000 in 1993. Material intercompany transactions between the two companies have been eliminated in consolidation. During 1995, three additional acquisitions were consummated; the following table represents those acquisitions. (Dollars in thousands)

BancGroup has entered into three separate definitive agreements with Southern Banking Corporation, Commercial BancCorp of Georgia, Inc. and Dothan Federal Savings Bank. The financial institutions have combined total assets of approximately $485 million. These pending acquisitions are subject to the respective Company's shareholder approval and various regulatory approvals among other conditions and are expected to close in the second or third quarter of 1996. The aggregate purchase price of these pending acquisitions is approximately $90 million, comprised of $2.6 million in cash and approximately 2.9 million shares of BancGroup Common Stock. On May 20, 1994, BancGroup purchased certain assets totaling $596,000 and assumed certain liabilities, primarily deposits, totaling $15,871,000 of Altus Federal Savings Bank in Tallassee and Eufaula, Alabama, from the Resolution Trust Corporation. 48 38 3.

The market values of obligations of states and political subdivisions were established with the assistance of an independent pricing service. They were based on available market data reflecting transactions of relatively small size and not necessarily indicative of the prices at which large amounts of particular issues could be readily sold or purchased. Included within other investment securities are $10,000,000 in marketable equity securities at both December 31, 1995 and 1994. Included within securities available for sale is $23,952,000 and $11,327,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Securities with a carrying value of approximately $306,393,000 and $308,081,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively, were pledged for various purposes as required or permitted by law. Gross gains of $18,000, $217,000 and $21,000 and gross losses of $15,000, $133,000 and $1,000 were realized on sales of securities for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The amortized cost and market value of debt securities at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, are as follows. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

BancGroup's lending is concentrated throughout Alabama, southern Tennessee and central Georgia, and repayment of these loans is in part dependent upon the economic conditions in the respective regions of the states. Management does not believe the loan portfolio contains concentration of credits either geographically or by borrower which would expose BancGroup to unacceptable amounts of risk. Management continually evaluates the potential risk in all segments of the portfolio in determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses. Other than concentrations of credit risk in Alabama and commercial real estate loans in general, management is not aware of any significant concentrations. BancGroup evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by BancGroup upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential houses and income-producing commercial properties. No additional credit risk exposure, relating to outstanding loan balances, exists beyond the amounts shown in the consolidated statement of condition at December 31, 1995. In the normal course of business, loans are made to officers, directors, principal shareholders and to companies in which they own a significant interest. Such loans aggregated approximately $29.6 million and $48.7 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Loan activity to officers, directors, principal shareholders and to companies in which they own a significant interest which aggregated a loan balance of more than $60,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 are summarized as follows:

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK BancGroup is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit and obligations to deliver and sell mortgage loans and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. BancGroup's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and obligations to deliver and sell mortgage loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. BancGroup uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. BancGroup has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty to originate loans. The total amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
(In thousands) Contract Amount - --------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 ---- ---- Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Loan commitments $410,705 $458,449 Standby letters of credit 23,810 14,997 Mortgage sales commitments 121,925 56,750
Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and funding loan commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Obligations to sell loans at specified dates (typically within ninety days of the commitment date) and at specified prices are intended to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the time period between the initial offer to lend and the subsequent sale to a permanent investor. Risks arise from changes in interest rates. Changes in the market value of the sales commitments is included in the measurement of the gain or loss on mortgage loans held for sale. The current market value of these commitments was $120,644,000 and $56,823,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 50 40 7.

BancGroup had outstanding term notes (Note 9) of which the current portion, $1,000,000, is included in other short-term borrowings at December 31, 1995 and 1994. BancGroup became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in late 1992. Based on its investment in the FHLB and other factors at December 31, 1995, BancGroup can borrow up to $850 million from the FHLB on either a short or long-term basis. At December 31, 1995, $465,000,000 was outstanding. FHLB has a blanket lien on BancGroup's 1-4 family mortgage loans in the amount of the outstanding debt. Additional details regarding short-term borrowings are shown below:

The 12 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 15, 2000 ("1985 Debentures") were issued in connection with the acquisition of a bank. The 1985 Debentures are redeemable, at the option of BancGroup, ten years from the date of issuance at face value plus accrued interest. At the option of the holder, each 1985 Debenture may be converted into BancGroup Common Stock at the conversion price of $18.25 principal amount of 1985 Debentures, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, for each share of stock received. In January, 1996, BancGroup called the 12 3/4% subordinated debentures. As a result, 403,299 shares of BancGroup Common Stock were issued and cash was paid for the remaining debentures. The 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2011 ("1986 Debentures") issued in 1986 are convertible at any time into shares of BancGroup Common Stock, at the conversion price of $28.00 principal amount of 1986 Debentures, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, for each share of stock received. The 1986 Debentures are redeemable at the option of BancGroup at the face amount plus accrued interest. In the event all of the remaining 1986 Debentures are converted into shares of BancGroup Common Stock in accordance with the 1986 Indenture, a total of 343,898 shares of such Common Stock will be issued. On August 11, 1993, BancGroup redeemed $15 million of the 1986 Debentures at 102.25%. The redemption resulted in an extraordinary loss of $746,000 ($463,000, net of tax). The redemption also reduced by 535,000 the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. The redemption was funded primarily by the term note discussed in the following paragraph. BancGroup has a term note with $11,250,000 outstanding at December 31, 1995. (Also see Note 8.) The term note is payable in annual installments of $1,000,000 with the balance due in 1998. BancGroup also has a line of credit with the same financial institution totaling $15 million of which $6,249,000 is outstanding at December 31, 1995. The line of credit is due at maturity in August 1997. The term note and the line of credit bear interest at a rate of 1.5% above LIBOR. All 51 41 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of the capital stock of BancGroup's subsidiary banks is pledged as collateral. The agreements contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the sale of assets, incurrence of additional indebtedness, repurchase of BancGroup stock, and requires BancGroup to maintain certain specified financial ratios. BancGroup had long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Advances outstanding of $5,516,000 and $2,530,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These advances bear interest rates of 4% to 7.53% and mature from 1999 to 2011. BancGroup, with the acquisition of First AmFed, also assumed the real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) bonds through a conduit, Service Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of Colonial Bank. These bonds were series A (four classes) with an original principal amount of $28,123,000 and a coupon interest rate of 7.875%. As of December 31, 1995 the bonds have an outstanding balance of $7,024,000 and are collateralized by FNMA mortgaged-backed securities with a carrying value of $6,971,000. The collections on these securities are used to pay interest and principal on the bonds. Only Class A-3 and A-4 bonds remain outstanding. The REMIC bonds are summarized in the following table:

At December 31, 1994, Colonial Mortgage had purchased servicing notes payable with various lenders with interest rates that ranged from 9.0% fixed to prime, reduced by compensating balance credits limited to a base rate of 1.5%, due monthly and quarterly. The Colonial Mortgage purchased servicing notes payable were paid in full immediately following the merger. 10. CAPITAL STOCK Effective February 21,1995 the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock were reclassified into one class of stock called Common Stock, $2.50 par value, with equal rights for all shareholders. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of the preference stock in one or more series, and in connection with such issuance, to establish the relative rights, preferences, and limitations of each such series. Prior to the reclassification the holders of Class A Common Stock had limited voting rights compared with the holders of Class B Common Stock. The holders of the Class A Common Stock were entitled to elect, voting as a separate class, up to 25% (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of the entire Board of Directors of BancGroup, and the holders of the Class B Common Stock were entitled to elect the remaining directors. On all other matters coming before the stockholders of BancGroup, except matters for which Delaware law requires a class vote, the holders of the Class A Common Stock were entitled to one twentieth (1/20) of one (1) vote per share and the holders of the Class B Common Stock were entitled to one (1) vote per share. Stockholders of BancGroup may not act by written consent or call special meetings. At the option of the holder of record, and subject to adjustment to avoid dilution in the event of certain occurrences, each share of BancGroup Class B Common Stock was convertible at any time into one share of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class A Common Stock were not convertible into any other securities of BancGroup. 11. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS Dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited to the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under these limitations, approximately $54.0 million of retained earnings plus certain 1996 earnings would be available for distribution to BancGroup as dividends in 1996 without prior approval from the respective regulatory authorities. The subsidiary banks are required by law to maintain noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve requirements. At December 31,1995, these deposits totaled $47.4 million. 12. LEASES BancGroup and its subsidiaries have entered into certain noncancellable leases for premises and equipment used in connection with its operations. The majority of these noncancellable lease agreements contain renewal options for varying periods at the same or renegotiated rentals, and several contain purchase options at fair value. Future minimum lease payments under all noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms (exclusive of renewal options) of one year or more at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

Rent expense for all leases amounted to $5,299,000 in 1995, $4,393,000 in 1994 and $3,638,000 in 1993. 52 42 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS BancGroup and its subsidiaries are participants in a pension plan with certain other related companies. This plan covers most employees who have met certain age and length of service requirements. BancGroup's policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using the frozen entry age actuarial method. Actuarial computations for financial reporting purposes are based on the projected unit credit method. For purposes of determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation, the weighted average discount rate was 7.25% for 1995, 8.5% for 1994 and 7% for 1993. The rate of increase in future compensation levels was 4.00% for 1995, 5.00% for 1994, and 4.25% for 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 9% for 1995, 1994, and 1993.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the pension plan assets included investments of 29,937 and 29,097 shares of BancGroup Common Stock representing 7% and 5% of pension plan assets respectively. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup Common Stock included in pension plan assets had a cost and market value of $507,312 and $965,468, respectively. Pension plan assets are distributed approximately 11% in U.S. Government and agency issues, 37% in Corporate bonds and 44% in equity securities including BancGroup Common Stock and 1% in preferred stock. BancGroup also has an incentive savings plan (the "Savings Plan") for all of the employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. The Savings Plan, provides certain retirement, death, disability and employment benefits to all eligible employees and qualifies as a deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants in the Savings Plan make basic contributions and may make supplemental contributions to increase benefits. BancGroup contributes a minimum of 50% of the basic contributions made by the employees and may make an additional contribution from profits on an annual basis. An employee's interest in BancGroup's contributions becomes 100% vested after five years of participation in the Savings Plan. Participants have options as to the investment of their Savings Plan funds, one of which includes purchase of Common Stock of BancGroup. Charges to operations for this plan amounted to $678,000, $559,000 and $452,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 14. STOCK PLANS The 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the 1992 Plan") provides an incentive to certain officers and key management employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1992 Plan must be at a price not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. All options expire no more than ten years from the date of grant, or three months after an employee's termination. An aggregate of 550,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 1992 Plan. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, 488,519 and 429,269 shares, respectively remained available for the granting of options under the 1992 Plan. The 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan ("the 1992 Nonqualified Plan") provides an incentive to directors, officers and employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan must be at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. All options expire no more than ten years after the date of grant, or three months after an employee's termination. An aggregate of 800,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan. At December 31,1995 and 1994, 782,750 and 786,500 shares, respectively remained available for the granting of options under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan. Prior to 1992, BancGroup had both a qualified incentive stock option plan ("Plan") under which options were granted at a price not less than fair market value and a nonqualified stock option plan ("Nonqualified Plan") under which options were granted at a price not less than 85% of fair market value. All options under the plans expire ten years from the date of grant, or three months after the employee's termination. Although options previously granted under these plans may be exercised, no further options may be granted. 53 43 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following is a summary of the transactions in Common Stock under these plans for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

In 1987 BancGroup adopted the Restricted Stock Plan for Directors ("Directors Plan") whereby directors of BancGroup and its subsidiary banks may receive Common Stock in lieu of cash director fees. The election to participate in the Directors Plan is made at the inception of the director's term except for BancGroup directors who make this election six months prior to the inception of their term. Shares earned under the plan for regular fees are issued quarterly while supplemental fees are issued annually. All shares become vested at the expiration of the director's term. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, 17,024, 14,267, and 13,116 shares of Common Stock were issued under the Directors Plan, representing approximately $326,000, $284,000, and $197,000 in directors' fees for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In 1992 BancGroup adopted the Stock Bonus and Retention Plan to promote the long-term interests of BancGroup and its shareholders by providing a means for attracting and retaining officers, employees and directors by awarding Restricted Stock which shall vest 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the award. An aggregate of 750,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under this Plan. There were 25,650 shares outstanding of which 130 shares were vested at December 31, 1995. In 1994 BancGroup adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides salaried employees of BancGroup with a convenient way to become shareholders of BancGroup. The participant authorizes a regular payroll deduction of not less than $10 or more than 10% of salary. The participant may also contribute whole dollar amounts of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 each month toward the purchase of the stock at market price. There are 150,000 shares authorized for issuance under this Plan. There were 6,221 shares issued and outstanding under this Plan at December 31, 1995. 15. CONTINGENCIES BancGroup and its subsidiary banks are from time to time defendants in legal actions from normal business activities. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from litigation outstanding at December 31, 1995, will have a materially adverse effect on BancGroup's financial statements. Due to current congressional proposals to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), the Company may incur a one-time charge when the proposed legislation is enacted. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup had approximately $791 million in deposits which would be subject to such an assessment. 16. RELATED PARTIES Most of the insurance coverage for vendor single interest, credit life, and accident and health insurance is provided to customers of BancGroup's subsidiary bank by companies owned by a principal shareholder and a director of BancGroup. Premiums collected from customers and remitted to these companies on such insurance were approximately $1,712,000, $2,242,000 and $1,287,000, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. BancGroup, Colonial Bank and Colonial Mortgage lease premises, including their principal corporate offices, and airplane services from companies owned by principal shareholders of BancGroup. Amounts paid under these leases and agreements approximated $3,100,000, $2,300,000 and $1,900,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, BancGroup and its subsidiaries paid or accrued fees of approximately $1,306,000, $1,326,000 and $949,000, respectively, for legal services required of law firms in which a partner of the firm serves on the Board of Directors. 54 44 17.

BancGroup adopted SFAS No.109 as of January 1, 1993, as described in Note 1. This change in accounting principle resulted in a $3,219,000 ($.29 per fully-diluted share) credit being reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes in the 1993 statement of income. The reasons for the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes are as follows:

The components of BancGroup's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were as follows:

The net deferred tax asset is included as a component of accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. BancGroup did not establish a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax asset due to taxes paid within the carryback period being sufficient to offset future deductions resulting from the reversal of these temporary differences. 19. 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 AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. - - INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE--For debt securities and marketable equity securities held either for investment purposes or for sale, fair value equals quoted market price, if avail- 55 45 The Colonial Bancgroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- able. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. - - MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE--For these short-term instruments, the fair value is determined from quoted current market prices. - - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS AND EXCESS SERVICING FEES--Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows from servicing fees using discount rates that approximate current market rates. - - LOANS--For loans, the fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. - - DEPOSITS--The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. - - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS--For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. - - LONG TERM DEBT--Rates currently available to BancGroup for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. - - COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT--The value of the unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the related fee income associated with the commitments, which is not material to BancGroup's financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The estimated fair values of BancGroup's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

52 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Supplemental - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTRODUCTION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Supplemental Financial Condition and Results of Operations is presented on the following pages. The principal purpose of this review is to provide the user of the attached financial statements and accompanying footnotes with a more detailed analysis of the financial results of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. ("BancGroup"). Among other things, this discussion provides commentary on BancGroup's history, operating philosophies, the components of net interest margin and balance sheet strength as measured by the quality of assets, the composition of the loan portfolio and capital adequacy. The following discussion reflects the effect of the July 3, 1996 mergers of Commercial Bancorp of Georgia, Inc. ("Commercial") and Southern Banking Corporation ("Southern"). (See Note 2 to the supplemental consolidated financial statements.) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND BancGroup (or the "Company") was established in 1981 with one bank and $166 million in assets. Through 34 acquisitions including Commercial and Southern the Company has grown to a $4.2 billion multistate bank holding company with substantial centralized operations, local lending autonomy with centralized loan review and a strong commercial lending function. During 1995 the Company acquired Colonial Mortgage Company and expanded its operations into the Atlanta, Georgia market. In July 1996 the Company continued its expansion in the metropolitan Atlanta market with the Commercial acquisition and also moved into Florida with the acquisition of Southern based in Orlando. More importantly BancGroup's earnings per share have increased an average of 24.3% per year since 1991 and in 1995 the Company achieved a 16.57% return on average equity and a 1.14% return on average assets. BancGroup's performance goals are: 1) an annual earnings per share growth rate in excess of 10%, 2) a 17.5% return on equity, 3) a 1.45% return on assets and 4) a consistently increasing dividend. The strategies employed to achieve these results are outlined below. They represent the foundation upon which BancGroup operates and the basis for achieving the Company's goals. - - COMMUNITY BANK: BancGroup operates as a community bank allowing autonomy in lending decisions and customer relationships. This operating philosophy has been important in making acquisitions, retaining a skilled and highly motivated management team and in developing a strong customer base, particularly with respect to lending relationships. - - COMMERCIAL LENDING: Commercial lending primarily through groups located in the Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery and Anniston, Alabama as well as Atlanta, Georgia and Orlando, Florida metropolitan centers has been a major factor in the Company's growth. Commercial real estate and other commercial loans increased 13% during 1995 following a 21.3% increase in 1994. BancGroup has been very successful in competing for these loans against other larger financial institutions, due primarily to the Company's local lending strategy and management continuity. - - CONSUMER REAL ESTATE: Since 1993 BancGroup has focused on residential real estate lending as a means to increase consumer lending, broaden the Company's customer base and create a significant stream of fee income. In furtherance of this goal, in February, 1995 BancGroup acquired Colonial Mortgage Company ("CMC"), one of the 70 largest mortgage loan servicers in the country. BancGroup has increased residential mortgage loans 357% from December 31, 1992 to $1.5 billion at December 31, 1995. The portfolio of mortgage loans has a relatively low credit risk and CMC's $9 billion portfolio of loans serviced for others provides a steady source of noninterest income. - - GROWTH MARKET EXPANSION: In October, 1995 BancGroup completed the acquisition of Mt. Vernon Financial Corporation, an Atlanta, Georgia based thrift with $225 million in assets. On July 3, 1996, BancGroup merged with Commercial, a $232 million bank in the north Atlanta area and Southern, a $232 million bank in Orlando, Florida. These business combinations provided BancGroup with a significant base of operations in the Southeast's two fastest growing markets. - - COST CONTROL: An operational and organizational infrastructure established in prior years has allowed the Company to grow significantly and improve the efficiency ratio from 74.11% in 1991 to 62.11% in 1995. The operating structure is built around centralized back-shop operations in areas that do not have direct customer contact. As noted above, this structure has served the Company well over the past few years and should allow for continued growth at a low marginal cost. In order to further enhance the cost efficiencies already established and position the Company for more rapid growth, in 1995 BancGroup completed a reengineering study to streamline transaction processing, increase the cost-effective use of technological resources and identify potential revenue enhancements. - - CAPITAL UTILIZATION: Management's goal is to provide a greater than 17.5% return on capital while effectively utilizing internally created capital and exceeding regulatory capital requirements. BancGroup has an asset generating capability that can effectively utilize the capital generated. This capability is most evident in the Company's 24% internal growth in loans during 1995. As part of this capability the CMC acquisition 59 53 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- provides asset generating sources for mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights. - - ASSET QUALITY: Maintenance of high asset quality is at the forefront of the Company's strategy to allow for consistent earnings growth. The Company's asset quality is demonstrated by its charge-off history and nonperforming asset levels, which compare favorably to its peer group. On December 31, 1993 the Company completed the acquisition of First AmFed Corporation, Huntsville, Alabama. This transaction increased total nonperforming assets in l993 by $12.8 million to 1.38% of loans and other real estate. This ratio was reduced to .83% as of December 31, 1995 primarily through sales of other real estate. Net charge-offs over the past 5 years have consistently compared favorably with the Company's peer group and were only .15% of average loans in 1995 and .09% in 1994. - - STOCK RECLASSIFICATION: On February 21, 1995 BancGroup reclassified its two classes of common stock into one class. This action eliminates the super voting rights of the previously existing Class B common stock and establishes the rights of all stockholders on an equal basis. Management believes the reclassification will significantly increase the market acceptance of the Company's common stock and therefore enhance its ability to expand through acquisitions. Subsequent to the reclassification, and as part of this strategy for broader market acceptance, BancGroup listed its common stock for trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 24, 1995. Obviously the Company cannot guarantee its success in implementing the initiatives or reaching the goals set out previously. The following analysis of financial condition and results of operations provide details with respect to this summary material and demonstrates trends concerning the initiatives taken through l995. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMBINATIONS A principal part of BancGroup's strategy is to combine with other financial institutions in order to increase the Company's market share in existing markets, expand into other growth markets, more efficiently absorb the Company's overhead and add profitable new lines of business. BancGroup recently completed the following combinations with other financial institutions. The balances reflected are as of the date of acquisition. (Dollars in thousands)

The combination with Mortgage Company in 1995 was accounted for using a method of accounting similar to a pooling of interest. On July 3, 1996 BancGroup completed the mergers with Southern Banking Corporation and Commercial Bancorp of Georgia, Inc. These combinations were accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Accordingly, all financial statement amounts have been restated to reflect the financial condition and results of operations as if the combinations had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The other three 1995 combinations were accounted for as purchases, and the operations and income of the combined institutions are included in the income of BancGroup from the date of purchase. Each of the combined institutions that were accounted for as purchases was merged into Colonial BancGroup or one of its subsidiaries as of the listed dates, and the income and expenses have not been separately accounted for since the respective mergers. For this reason and due to the fact that significant changes have been made to the cost structure of each combined institution, a separate determination of the impact after combination of earnings of BancGroup for 1994 and 1995 cannot reasonably be determined. The combinations have had an impact on the comparisons of operating results for 1994 and 1995 with prior years. Where such information is determinable it has been identified and discussed in the discussion of results of operations and financial condition that follows. 60 54 COLONIAL MORTGAGE COMPANY On February 17, 1995 BancGroup completed the acquisition of Colonial Mortgage Company. This acquisition represents a major step in achieving several BancGroup strategic goals. A principal initiative of BancGroup for the past several years has been to increase fee income through establishment of additional lines of business that provide natural extensions of existing products or services. CMC in this regard provides an excellent fit for the following reasons: FEE INCOME CMC, at December 31, 1995, provided servicing for approximately 118,000 customers with a total outstanding balance of $9.1 billion. The servicing revenues from this portfolio plus other fee income from CMC provided approximately 50% of BancGroup's noninterest income in 1995 and 1994. CONSUMER REAL ESTATE LENDING CMC, through its wholesale and retail offices, originated over $5 billion in residential real estate loans from 1993 through 1995. These loans have primarily been fixed rate loans sold into the secondary markets. However, since the latter part of 1994 Colonial Bank has been acquiring adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans originated by CMC. This program provides CMC additional loan products for its branch network. In addition, CMC provides the Bank with fixed rate loan products for its customers. GROWTH MARKET EXPANSION CMC currently originates residential mortgages in 29 states through 6 regional offices and services 118,000 customers located in 35 states. These locations provide BancGroup with a broader market base to solicit business and include areas which currently have greater growth rates than BancGroup's existing branch locations. These areas include Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, Milwaukee and Phoenix. CAPITAL UTILIZATION CMC's growth has previously been somewhat limited due to its ownership structure as part of a private company. The combination of BancGroup and CMC provides additional resources for the expansion of CMC's low cost servicing operation through bulk purchases of servicing. In addition CMC provides another source of loans for the Bank's portfolio including ARM loans and equity lines. CUSTODIAL DEPOSITS CMC maintains custodial accounts for its loan customers for the payment of taxes and insurance as well as collection of principal and interest. The balances in these accounts averaged approximately $121 million and $94 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. These balances, most of which were in other financial institutions in 1994, have been deposited into Colonial Bank in 1995. As a result these balances represent 25% of the 37% increase in average noninterest bearing demand deposits from 1994 to 1995. These balances have a positive impact on BancGroup's net interest margin by providing a noninterest bearing source of funds. CONTINUITY AND CONSISTENCY OF MANAGEMENT Robert E. Lowder, Chairman and CEO of BancGroup has been Chairman and CEO of CMC for 25 years. In addition, Ronnie Wynn has been the president of CMC for 19 years and is a former president of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. This continuation of management has provided a very smooth transition in management and operating philosophy. CROSS-SELLING OF CUSTOMERS BancGroup has established a personal banking unit to solicit other business from CMC customers, such as equity lines and deposits. In addition, BancGroup plans to expand other customer relationships through establishment of deposit relationships with CMC customers, acceptance of CMC payments in branches, and establishing a linkage between construction and permanent lending. 61 55 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The major components of BancGroup's net income are:
(In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $ 140,160 $ 121,001 $ 94,472 Provision for possible loan losses (7,350) (7,506) (8,850) Noninterest income 54,391 47,752 43,445 Noninterest expense (122,406) (115,677) (98,501) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Pretax income 64,795 45,570 30,566 Taxes (23,242) (15,829) (9,780) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Income before extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes 41,553 29,741 20,786 Extraordinary loss -- -- (463) Cumulative effect of accounting change -- -- 3,650 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 41,553 $ 29,741 $ 23,973 - ----------------------------------------------------------
Consistently increasing net income is a primary goal of management. Earnings (income before extraordinary items and accounting changes) increased 40% in 1995, 43% in 1994 and 32% in 1993. The most significant factors affecting income for 1995, 1994 and 1993 are highlighted below and discussed in greater detail in subsequent sections. - - An increase in 1995 of 20.4% in average earning assets. This follows an increase of 31.8% in 1994. - - An increase of $6.6 million (14%) and $4.3 million (10%) in noninterest income in 1995 and 1994, respectively. - - Maintenance of high asset quality and reserve coverage ratios. Net charge-offs were $4.0 million or .15% of average net loans in 1995 and $2.0 million or .09% of average net loans in 1994. In recognition of these low net charge-offs loan loss provisions were reduced $1.3 million in 1994 and $156,000 in 1995. - - Loan growth, excluding acquisitions, of 24% in 1995 following an increase of 20% in 1994. - - An increase in loans as a percent of average earning assets to 81.2% in 1995 from 77.2% in 1994. - - Noninterest expenses as a percent of average assets were reduced to 3.35% in 1995 from 3.76% in 1994. - - 1993 includes a $463,000 extraordinary loss from the early redemption of subordinated convertible debt and $3,650,000 in income from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets (interest income) and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest expense). Three year comparisons of net interest income in dollars and yield on a tax equivalent basis are reflected on the following schedule. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.28% in 1995 compared to 4.45% in 1994 and 4.59% in 1993. Over this period net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased to $142.7 million in 1995 from $123.3 million in 1994 and $96.5 million in 1993. The principal factors affecting the Company's yields and net interest income are discussed in the following paragraphs. LEVELS OF INTEREST RATES After declining consistently from 1989 through 1992 and remaining virtually flat throughout 1993, short-term interest rates increased dramatically throughout 1994 and continued to increase into the late 1995 before starting to decline. For example, the average fed funds rate for overnight bank borrowings was 2.99% in December 1993, 5.45% in December 1994 and reached 6.00% in 1995 before decreasing to 5.50% in December 1995. The Company's prime rate increased from 6.0% in 1993 to 8.5% in 1994 and continued to increase to 9.0% midyear 1995 before declining to 8.5% in December 1995. Long-term rates declined throughout 1995, with the 30-year treasury bond ending 1994 at 7.93% and declining to 5.95% in December 1995. Net interest margin remained virtually flat from 1993 to 1994, while increasing competitive pressures resulted in an increase in cost of funds in 1995. This increase along with a change in the Company's loan mix is primarily responsible for the decreases in margin. ACQUISITIONS The thrift acquisitions completed during 1993 and 1995 had a negative impact on the Company's net interest yield due primarily to the fact that these institutions had virtually no noninterest-bearing deposits. The rates on the interest-bearing deposits in the acquired institutions were slightly higher than the Company's rates and were adjusted to BancGroup products and rates within a short time after the mergers. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES - - COST OF FUNDS Rates paid on new time deposits and variable rate deposits increased during 1994 and continued to increase through 1995. Competitive pressures on these deposit rates increased in 1995 resulting in a higher cost of funds from 3.78% for 1994 to 5.18% for 1995. 62 56 INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS - - GROWTH IN EARNING ASSETS One of the most significant factors in the Company's increase in income for 1995 has been the 20.4% increase in average interest-earning assets. This follows a 31.8% increase in 1994. In addition and equally significant, net loans increased $823 million (35%) from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995. Earning assets as a percentage of total average assets also increased from 88.3% in 1993 to 90.1% in 1994 to 91.1% in 1995. - - MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE The level and direction of long-term interest rates had a dramatic impact on the volume of mortgage loan originations, causing the average balance of mortgage loans for sale to decline from $242 million in 1993 to $98 million in 1995. Mortgage loans held for sale represent single family residential mortgage loans originated or acquired by Colonial Mortgage then packaged and sold in the secondary market. Colonial Mortgage incurs gains or losses associated with rate fluctuations. Colonial Mortgage limits its risk associated with the sale of these loans through an active hedging program which generally provides for sales commitments on all loans funded. Mortgage loans held for sale are funded primarily with short-term borrowings. - - CHANGING LOAN MIX During 1995 all categories of loans increased. The most significant increase was in residential real estate loans increasing from 38.2% of total loans at December 31, 1994 to 45.7% at December 31, 1995. These loans are predominantly adjustable rate mortgages which have a low level of credit risk and accordingly have lower yields than other loans. 63 57 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE VOLUME AND RATES

(1) Increases (decreases) are attributed to volume changes and rate changes on the following basis: Volume Change = change in volume times old rate. Rate Change = change in rate times old volume. The Rate/Volume Change = change in volume x change in rate, and it is allocated between Volume Change and Rate Change at the ratio that the absolute value of each of those components bear to the absolute value of their total. (2) Interest earned and average rates on obligations of states and political subdivisions are reflected on a tax equivalent basis. Tax equivalent interest earned as actual interest earned times 145%. Tax equivalent average rate is tax equivalent interest earned divided by average volume. (3) Dividends earned and average rates on preferred stock are reflected on a tax equivalent basis. Tax equivalent dividends earned are actual dividends times 137.7%. Tax equivalent average rate is tax equivalent dividends divided by average volume. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST INCOME BancGroup derives approximately 50% of its noninterest income from mortgage banking related activities with the remaining 50% from traditional retail banking services including various deposit account charges, safe deposit box rentals and credit life commissions. Prior to the CMC acquisition on February 17, 1995, BancGroup had not acquired other well-established ancillary income sources, such as trust operations, mortgage banking or credit card services with any of its acquisitions. One of the most important goals from 1993 through 1995 has been to increase noninterest income. The impact of this acquisition is evident by the volume of revenue included in the category entitled mortgage servicing fees. CMC has servicing and subservicing agreements under which it services 118,000, 83,000 and 68,000 mortgage loans with principal balances of $9.1 billion, $6.4 billion and $4.6 billion on December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. This servicing portfolio generated servicing fee and late charge income of approximately $23.4 million, $18.1 million and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. CMC through its wholesale and retail offices, originated $1.1 billion, $1.2 billion and $2.6 billion in residential real estate loans in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The increased volume in 1993 was primarily due to lower long-term interest rates which resulted in increased mortgage lending activity. Noninterest income from deposit accounts is significantly affected by competitive pricing on these services and the volume of noninterest-bearing accounts. During 1995 and 1994 average noninterest demand accounts (excluding CMC custodial deposits) increased 12.8% and 24.0%, respectively. This increase in volume and increases in service fee rates resulted in a 16% increase in service charge income in 1995 and a 15% increase in 1994. Other charges, fees, and commissions increased $372,000 (11%) in 1995 and $695,000 (26%) in 1994. The increase is primarily from credit card related fees, official check commissions and credit life commissions on residential mortgage and consumer loans. Acquisitions 65 59 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. And Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- have had a minimal impact on income in this area with most of the increase due to an emphasis on bottom line income as a result of the Company's incentive plan. The Company through CMC enters into offers to extend credit for mortgage loans to customers and into obligations to deliver and sell originated or acquired mortgage loans to permanent investors. Sales of loans servicing released by CMC resulted in income of $988,000, $539,000 and $1,820,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The remaining increase in other income of $2,167,000 from 1994 to 1995 is due primarily to a gain on sale of servicing as well as increases in income from safe deposit boxes, ATM transaction fees and various other sources with off-setting decreases in gain on sale of fixed assets and income from investment sales. BancGroup has an investment sales operation (primarily mutual funds and annuities). Fee income generated from this and other investment services activities totaled $649,000, $990,000 and $770,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in other income in 1994 was primarily due to the investment sales programs as previously indicated and a gain on sale of fixed assets with various other smaller decreases. Securities gains and losses in each of the three years were not significant. While certain securities are considered available for sale, BancGroup currently intends to hold substantially all of its securities portfolio for investment purposes. Realized gains or losses in this portfolio are generally the result of calls of securities or sales of securities within the six months prior to maturity.

=============================================================================== NONINTEREST EXPENSE The impact of the acquisitions completed from 1993 through 1995 is reflected most noticeably in the increase in net interest income, discussed previously, as well as the 24% increase from 1993 to 1995 in noninterest expense as shown in the schedule following. The decrease in noninterest expense as a percent of average assets from 4.14% in 1993 to 3.76% in 1994 to 3.35% in 1995 is a direct result of the increased efficiency generated by this growth. The foundation for the efficiencies gained in 1995 and 1994 was laid in 1989 and 1990 when the Company established its current operating structure (regional and community banks supported by centralized backshop operations). Salaries and benefits decreased $1.8 million or 4% in 1995 and increased $6.2 million or 14% in 1994. The decrease in 1995 is primarily due to increased deferred cost associated with loan originations discussed in a following paragraph and a reduction in certain staffing levels throughout BancGroup, particularly at CMC as a result of the decline in origination activity discussed earlier that began in 1994. The incentive plan has been a major factor in the Company's ability to contain cost and increase income. The increase in 1994 was primarily due to acquisitions and other expansion efforts. In addition to the increase in expenses related to growth, advertising and public relations expenses have increased $1,022,000 or 37% and $1,157,000 or 73% in 1995 and 1994, respectively, in concentrated efforts to expand the Company's customer base and take advantage of increased market share in certain key markets. Other expenses in 1995, 1994 and 1993 include approximately $1,700,000, $1,200,000 and $960,000, respectively associated with various acquisition efforts. As discussed in Note 1 to BancGroup's Consolidated Financial Statements, BancGroup defers certain salary and benefit costs associated with loan originations and amortizes these costs as yield adjustments over the life of the related loans. The amount of costs deferred increased from $4 million in 1993 to $5 million in 1994 and $9 million in 1995 due to changes in the mix of loans and increases in the number of loans closed. 60 Cost control and the capacity to absorb future growth continue to be a major focus for management. The Company has taken several steps to achieve this goal and to attempt to improve BancGroup's efficiency ratio. The incentive plan and its profit-based rewards represent a key element in the plan. During 1994 BancGroup also increased its data processing capacity through a major upgrade. The cost of this upgrade is reflected in equipment expenses in 1994 and 1995. Finally, and most importantly, in 1995 the Company invested in a reengineering study. This study reviewed the Company's retail delivery systems to better position the company for future growth, product expansion and customer service. The cost of the study (approximately $2 million) was included in other expense. The study had some impact on 1995 through lower salary cost and increased fee income with the major impact to be achieved in 1996. The Company's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in two separate funds; the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). Legislation has been proposed in Congress to recapitalize the SAIF with a special one-time charge estimated to be .75% of the deposits insured by SAIF. This recapitalization would allow a reduction in the current .23% average annual premium rate. BancGroup has approximately $719 million in SAIF deposits, after adjusting for certain allowances in the current proposal, which would be subject to the special assessment. Management cannot determine if or when a special assessment may actually be imposed. The assessment may result in a charge to after tax earnings and equity of approximately $3.4 million, based upon the assessment rates described above.

BancGroup is subject to federal and state taxes at combined rates of approximately 38% for regular tax purposes and 23% for alternative minimum tax purposes. These rates are reduced or increased for certain nontaxable income or nondeductible expenses, primarily consisting of tax exempt interest income, partially taxable dividend income, and nondeductible amortization of goodwill. In 1993 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The impact of the adoption of this statement was the recognition in the first quarter of 1993 of income in the amount of $3,650,000, which is shown in the financial statements as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. Also in 1993, the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 effectively increased the Company's Federal tax rate by 1% to 35% based on taxable income. Management's goal is to minimize income tax expense and maximize cash yield on earning assets by increasing or decreasing its tax exempt securities and/or investment in preferred and common stock. Accordingly, BancGroup's investment in tax exempt securities was increased in 1993, 1994 and 1995. 67 61 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW Ending balances of selected components of the Company's balance sheet changed from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 as follows:
(In thousands) INCREASE (DECREASE) - ---------------------------------------------------------- Amount % - ---------------------------------------------------------- Total assets $983,113 30.5 Securities available for sale and investment securities 32,827 7.0 Mortgage loans held for sale 49,760 81.9 Loans, net of unearned income 822,690 35.0 Deposits 699,737 27.9 - ----------------------------------------------------------
Management continuously monitors the financial condition of BancGroup in order to protect depositors, increase shareholder value and protect current and future earnings. The most significant factors affecting BancGroup's financial condition from 1993 through 1995 have been: - - An increase in residential mortgage loans from 23.9% of total loans at December 31, 1992 to 45.7% at December 31, 1995. This increase has resulted from the acquisition of thrifts as well as from loans CMC produced for the Company's portfolio. BancGroup has continued to place emphasis on these loans as a major product line which has a relatively low loss ratio. - - Internal loan growth of 24% in 1995 excluding acquisitions. - - A 33% increase in 1995 in average noninterest bearing demand deposits with 21.4% of the increase from CMC custodial deposits and the remainder substantially from internal growth. - - Maintenance of high asset quality and reserve coverage of nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets were .83%, .96% and 1.38% of related assets at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Net charge-offs were .15%, .09% and .32% of average loans over the same periods. The allowance for possible loan losses was 1.31% at December 31, 1995, providing 265% coverage of non-performing loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated). - - Increase in tier one leverage ratios from 5.79% at December 31, 1993 to 6.29% at December 31, 1995. - - An increase in the loan to deposit ratio from 93.9% at December 31, 1994 to 99.1% at December 31, 1995. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings continue to be a major source of funding allowing the Company greater funding flexibility. - - Increase of $50 million in mortgage loans held for sale primarily as a result of decreases in long-term interest rates in late 1995. These items, as well as a more detailed analysis of BancGroup's financial condition, are discussed in the following sections. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS Growth in loans and maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio are the principal ingredients to improved earnings. This goal is achieved in various ways as outlined below: - - Management's emphasis, within all of BancGroup's banking regions, is on loan growth in accordance with local market demands and the lending experience and expertise in the regional and county banks. The regional banks are diverse in the loan demands of their areas and in their lending expertise, resulting in a fairly diversified portfolio without significant concentration of risk. - - Management believes that its strategy of meeting local demands and utilizing local lending expertise has proven successful. Management also believes that any existing concentrations of loans, whether geographically, by industry or by borrower do not expose BancGroup to unacceptable levels of risk. - - BancGroup has a significant concentration of residential real estate loans representing 45.7% of total loans. These loans are substantially all mortgages on single-family, owner occupied properties and therefore have minimal credit risk. While a major portion of these loans was acquired with the thrift acquisitions, the Company has continued to grow this portfolio with a $551 million or 61% increase in these loans in 1995. A portion of this growth, approximately $246 million, is due to adjustable rate mortgages originated by CMC and acquired by Colonial Bank. Residential mortgage loans are predominately adjustable rate loans and therefore have not resulted in any material change in the Company's rate sensitivity. 68 62 - - The most significant industry concentration is in loans collateralized by commercial real estate with loan balances of $692,550,000, $626,618,000, $514,299,000, $404,836,000, and $331,418,000, at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. BancGroup's commercial real estate loans are spread geographically throughout Alabama and other areas including metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia and Central Florida with no more than 30% of these loans in any one geographic area. The Alabama economy experiences a generally slow but steady rate of growth. For this reason, real estate values have not been inflated due to excessive speculation and BancGroup's real estate related loans continue to perform at acceptable levels. - - BancGroup makes mortgage loans on a short-term basis (generally less than ninety days) while these loans are being packaged for sale in the secondary market. These loans are classified as mortgage loans held for sale with balances totaling $110,486,000, $60,726,000, $361,496,000, $144,215,000 and $105,219,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. There is minimal credit risk associated with these loans. During 1991, 1992 and 1993 the total balances invested in these types of loans increased significantly due primarily to large volumes of mortgage refinancing. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale during 1994 and subsequent increase in 1995 are directly related to the fluctuation in long-term interest rates and its related impact on mortgage loan refinancing. These loans are funded principally with short-term borrowings, providing a relatively high margin for these funds. - - As discussed more fully in subsequent sections, management has determined to maintain adequate liquidity and liquidity sources. BancGroup has arranged funding sources in addition to customer deposits which provide the capability for the Company to exceed a 100% loan to deposit ratio and maintain adequate liquidity. - - Internal loan growth has been a major factor in the Company's increasing earnings with growth rates of 24.3% in 1995, 20.3% in 1994, 12.1% in 1993 and 10.7% in 1992 excluding acquisitions. ================================================================================ GROSS LOANS BY CATEGORY

As discussed in a subsequent section, BancGroup seeks to maintain adequate liquidity and minimize exposure to interest rate volatility. The goals of BancGroup with respect to loan maturities and rate sensitivity have been and will continue to be to focus on shorter term maturities and floating or adjustable rate loans. At December 31, 1995, approximately 56% of loans were floating rate or adjustable rate loans. Contractual maturities may vary significantly from actual maturities due to loan extensions, early payoffs due to refinancing and other factors. Fluctuations in interest rates are also a major factor in early loan pay-offs. The uncertainties, particularly with respect to interest rates, of future events make it difficult to predict the actual maturities. BancGroup has not maintained records related to trends of early pay-off since management does not believe such trends would present any significantly more accurate estimate of actual maturities than the contractual maturities presented. 69 63 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOAN MATURITY/RATE SENSITIVITY

LOAN QUALITY A major key to long-term earnings growth is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. BancGroup's directive in this regard is carried out through its policies and procedures for review of loans and through a company wide senior credit administration function. This function participates in the loan approval process with the regional banks and provides an independent review and grading of loan credits on a continual basis. BancGroup has standard policies and procedures for the evaluation of new credits, including debt service evaluations and collateral guidelines. Collateral guidelines vary with the credit worthiness of the borrower, but generally require maximum loan-to-value ratios of 85% for commercial real estate and 90% for residential real estate. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are generally collateralized by business inventory, accounts receivables or new business equipment at 50%, 80% and 90% of estimated value, respectively. Installment and consumer loan collateral where required is based on 90% loan to value ratios. Based on the above policies, procedures and loan review program, BancGroup determines its allowance for possible loan losses and the amount of provision for loan losses. The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb potential losses on loans present in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is affected by: (1) loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; (2) recoveries on loans previously charged-off, which increase the allowance; (3) the provision for possible loan losses charged to income, which increases the allowance, and (4) the allowance for loan losses of acquired banks. In determining the provision for possible loan losses in an effort to evaluate portfolio risks, it is necessary for management to monitor fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries and to periodically review the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated economic conditions. The goal and result of these policies and procedures is to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition. LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE During 1995 the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans increased to .15% from .09% in 1994. This increase has been impacted by the increase in average loans but also by an increase of approximately $2.0 million in actual net charge-offs. Net charge-offs as a percent of net loans for the past five years have fluctuated from a high of .47% in 1991 to a low of .09% in 1994. For 1991 and 1992, a period during which the national economy went through a recession, BancGroup's annual charge-off ratio averaged .46% with only a .03% variance between the two years. This consistently low and improving charge-off level has primarily been the result of the Company's localized lending strategies and early identification of potential problem loans. In addition, the current concentration of loans in residential real estate loans has had a favorable impact on net charge-offs. The schedule on the following page reflects greater than 100% coverage of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated) by the allowance for loan losses. Management has not targeted any specific coverage ratio in excess of 100%, and the coverage ratio may fluctuate significantly as larger loans are placed into or removed from nonperforming status. Management's focus has rather been on establishing reserves related to an earlier identification of potential problem loans. The increase in the coverage ratio from 238% at December 31, 1991 to 265% at December 31, 1995 reflects added reserves due to the growth in loans and the relatively consistent level of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated), coupled with management's decision to maintain and in fact increase reserves due to economic uncertainties. 70 64 Management is committed to maintaining adequate reserve levels to absorb future losses. This commitment has allowed BancGroup to weather economic uncertainties without disruption of its earnings.

71 65 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONPERFORMING ASSETS BancGroup classifies problem loans into four categories: nonaccrual, past due, renegotiated and other potential problems. When management determines a loan no longer meets the criteria for performing loans and collection of interest appears doubtful, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. All loans that are 90 days past due are considered nonaccrual unless they are adequately collateralized, they are in the process of collection, and there is reasonable assurance of full collection of principal and interest. BancGroup's policy is also to charge off installment loans 120 days past due unless they are in the process of foreclosure and are adequately collaterlized. Management closely monitors all loans which are contractually 90 days past due, renegotiated or nonaccrual. These loans are summarized as follows:
=========================================================================================================================== NONPERFORMING ASSETS DECEMBER 31 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate loans for which interest is not being accrued $13,840 $ 9,263 $ 9,472 $ 7,838 $ 6,257 Aggregate loans renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower 1,800 3,386 1,425 1,346 1,020 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans* 15,640 12,649 10,897 9,184 7,277 Other real estate 10,592 9,873 16,399 10,382 6,042 Repossessions 162 81 88 103 150 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming assets * $26,394 $22,603 $27,384 $19,669 $13,469 =========================================================================================================================== Aggregate loans contractually past due 90 days for which interest is being accrued $ 1,381 $ 2,559 $ 2,218 $ 1,450 $ 1,597 Total nonperforming loans as a percent of net loans 0.49% 0.54% 0.56% 0.69% 0.61% Total nonperforming assets as a percent of net loans, other real estate and repossessions 0.83% 0.96% 1.38% 1.47% 1.12% Total nonaccrual, renegotiated and past due loans as a percent of total loans 0.54% 0.65% 0.67% 0.80% 0.74% Allowance for loan loss as a percent of nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and renegotiated) 265% 292% 284% 224% 238% =========================================================================================================================== * Total does not include loans contractually past due 90 days or more which are still accruing interest.
Fluctuations from year to year in the balances of nonperforming assets are attributable to several factors including changing economic conditions in various markets, nonperforming assets obtained in various acquisitions and the disproportionate impact of larger (over $500,000) individual credits. On December 31, 1993 BancGroup completed the acquisition of First AmFed Corporation. With this acquisition the Company recorded $11.2 million in other real estate, $1.6 million in nonaccrual loans, and $.5 million in 90 day past due loans that were still accruing. The carrying value of these nonperforming assets was adjusted at the acquisition date to their current estimated fair values based on BancGroup's intention to dispose of them in the most expeditious and profitable manner. Excluding these nonperforming assets acquired with First AmFed, the Company's nonperforming asset ratio would have been .74% at December 31, 1993 compared to 1.38% noted above. During 1994 a substantial portion of these problem assets, particularly other real estate, was disposed of and the nonperforming asset ratio was reduced to .96%. In the fourth quarter of 1992, three large loans totaling $4.9 million were placed in nonperforming status, including one apartment loan ($1.3 million) which was classified as an "in substance foreclosure." The other two loans were to an industrial trailer manufacturer and a health care services provider located in different geographic areas of Alabama. All of these loans were either charged-off ($.5 million), paid off ($1.3 million) or paid current ($3.1 million) in 1993 and removed from nonperforming status. The majority of the balance of renegotiated loans at December 31, 1994 and 1995 represents a bankruptcy credit on which the rate was reduced to below current market rate. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1995 were $13.8 million compared to $9.3 million at December 31, 1994. This increase is primarily in commercial real estate 72 66 loans from prior years' acquisitions and the Georgia acquisition completed in 1995. Management, through its loan officers, internal loan review staff and external examinations by regulatory agencies, has identified approximately $118 million of potential problem loans not included above. The status of these loans is reviewed at least quarterly by loan officers and the centralized loan review function and annually by regulatory agencies. In connection with such reviews collateral values are updated where considered necessary. If collateral values are judged insufficient or other sources of repayment inadequate, the loans are reduced to estimated recoverable amounts through increases in reserves allocated to the loans or charge-offs. As of December 31, 1995 substantially all of these loans are current with their existing repayment terms. Management believes that classification of such loans as potential problem loans well in advance of their reaching a delinquent status allows the Company the greatest flexibility in correcting problems and providing adequate reserves without disruption of earnings trends. Given the reserves and the ability of the borrowers to comply with the existing repayment terms, management believes any exposure from these potential problem loans has been adequately addressed at the present time. The above nonperforming loans and potential problem loans represent all material credits for which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Management also expects that the resolution of these problem credits as well as other performing loans will not materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. Interest income earned on nonaccrual loans was $605,000, $414,000, $93,000, $316,000 and $232,000 in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Interest income foregone on such loans was approximately $905,000, $786,000, $562,000, $279,000 and $618,000 in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, and 1991 respectively. On January 1, 1995, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting By Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition Disclosure. As a result, the following loans were considered impaired as of December 31, 1995. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

SECURITIES BancGroup determines on a daily basis the funds available for short-term investment. Funds available for long-term investment are projected based upon anticipated loan and deposit growth, liquidity needs, pledging requirements and maturities of securities, as well as other factors. Based on these factors and management's interest rate and income tax forecast, an investment strategy is determined. Significant elements of this strategy as of December 31, 1995 include: - - BancGroup's investment in U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies is substantially all pledged against public funds deposits. - - Investment alternatives which maximize the highest after-tax net yield are considered. - - Management has also attempted to increase the investment portfolio's overall yield by investing 73 67 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- funds in excess of pledging requirements in high-grade corporate notes and mortgage-backed securities. - - BancGroup's investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions has been increased during 1994 and 1995 since the Company receives full benefit for tax-advantaged investments. The investment strategy also incorporates high-grade preferred stocks when the tax equivalent yield on these investments provides an attractive alternative. The yields on these preferred stocks are adjusted on a short-term basis and provide tax advantaged income without long-term interest rate risk. - - The maturities of investment alternatives are determined in consideration of the yield curve, liquidity needs and the Company's asset/liability gap position. Throughout 1992 and 1993, management invested in securities with maturities of 5 years or less with the majority in the 2-3 year range. As interest rates increased and the Company's asset/liability gap position allowed, maturities were increased during 1994 to the 5-7 year range and reduced to the 2-3 year range in 1995. - - The risk elements associated with the various types of securities are also considered in determining investment strategies. U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency obligations are considered to contain virtually no default or prepayment risk. Mortgage-backed securities have varying degrees of risk of impairment of principal. Impairment risk is primarily associated with accelerated prepayments, particularly with respect to longer maturities purchased at a premium and interest-only strip securities. BancGroup's mortgage backed security portfolio as of December 31, 1995 or 1994 does not include any interest-only strips and the amount of unamortized premium on mortgage backed securities is approximately $222,000. The recoverability of BancGroup's investment in mortgage-backed securities is reviewed periodically, and where necessary, appropriate adjustments are made to income for impaired values. - - Obligations of state and political subdivisions, as well as other securities have varying degrees of credit risk associated with the individual borrowers. The credit ratings and the credit worthiness of these securities are reviewed periodically and appropriate reserves established when necessary. Securities available for sale represent those securities that BancGroup intends to hold for an indefinite period of time or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk and other similar factors. These securities are recorded at market value with unrealized gains or losses, net of any tax effect, added or deducted from shareholders' equity. The balance in securities available for sale increased from $104 million at December 31, 1994 to $214 million at December 31, 1995 partially as a result of a reclassification from investment securities of $57 million in December 1995 as allowed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to realign the portfolios without risk of penalties and $26 million from acquisitions. The Company took this opportunity to reclassify certain structured notes, corporate and municipal bonds to allow for possible disposition and certain treasury notes for liquidity purposes.

(1) The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the cost and effective yield weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. The weighted average yields on tax exempt obligations have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 35%. The taxable equivalent adjustment represents the annual amounts of income from tax exempt obligations multiplied by 145%. (2) This category excludes all corporate common and preferred stocks since these instruments have no maturity date. (3) Securities available for sale are shown as maturing within one year although BancGroup intends to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time.

The growth in deposits and the mix of deposits has been most significantly impacted in 1994 and 1995 by acquisitions. BancGroup acquired several thrift institutions from 1993 to 1995. As such, the level of noninterest-bearing demand deposits was less than 3% of the total deposits acquired with the major portion of acquired deposits in certificates of deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits have increased $106 million (24%) from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995. The increase in average noninterest demand deposits has been approximately 33%. Included in this 33% increase is approximately 21% related to an increase in custodial deposits of Colonial Mortgage Company with the remaining approximately 12% primarily related to internal growth throughout the Company's branch system. As noted above, the acquired thrifts did not add any significant amounts of noninterest-bearing demand accounts. However, the presence of such branches and customer relationships has attracted demand deposit accounts after the mergers. The Company also acquired two commercial banks in 1995, Brundidge Banking and Farmers and Merchants Bank, with approximately $12 million in non-interest bearing deposits at acquisition. The majority of the noninterest-bearing demand deposit growth is attributable to the Company's focus on developing customer relationships and sales efforts. BancGroup has attempted through its acquisition and branch expansion programs to increase its market presence in the State of Alabama and expand into other growth markets in the Southeast, the first of which was Atlanta in 1995 followed by Orlando in 1996. The principal goal is to provide the Company's retail customer base with convenient access 75 69 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to branch locations while enhancing the Company's potential for future increases in profitability. During 1995 BancGroup established retail banking, training and policies and procedures departments as well as continuing its branch automation project to reinforce the Company's goal of providing the customer with the best possible service. In connection with this goal, several other initiatives have been undertaken, including an electronic banking division which includes home banking, business banking, automatic teller, credit card and check card services. The Company has increased its automatic teller machine services by expanding into 67 WalMart locations throughout Alabama. Full service banking will be offered in nine WalMart locations in 1996 with eight located in Alabama and one in Tennessee. The Company is continuing its sales of investment products, such as mutual funds and annuities to customers seeking alternatives to deposit products. The overall goal of these steps has been to efficiently provide customers with the financial products they need and desire. In 1995 the Company initiated a brokered Certificate of Deposit (CD) program to offer CD's in increments of $1,000 to $99,000 to out of market customers at competitive rates and maturities. At December 31, 1995, $75 million of CD's were outstanding under this program. =============================================================================== SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings were comprised of the following at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993:
(In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements $131,115 $145,419 $104,818 Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings 465,000 210,050 190,150 Other short-term borrowings 1,141 1,131 1,000 - ---------------------------------------------------------- Total $597,256 $356,600 $295,968 - ----------------------------------------------------------
BancGroup has available Federal Funds lines from upstream banks including the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaling $558 million at December 31, 1995. In addition, correspondent banks and customers with repurchase agreements have provided a consistent base of short-term funds. BancGroup became a member of the FHLB in late 1992. As a member of the FHLB, BancGroup can borrow up to $850 million from the FHLB on either a short or long-term basis excluding funds available through the federal funds line. Short-term borrowings, including FHLB borrowings, have been used to fund short-term assets, primarily mortgage loans held for sale, and loans. During 1994 the volume of mortgage loans held for sale decreased significantly as long-term interest rates increased. FHLB borrowings have been used during 1994 and 1995 to fund loan growth. As discussed more fully in the "Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity" section of this report, the line of credit with the FHLB is considered a primary source of funding for the Company's asset growth. =============================================================================== LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY BancGroup has addressed its liquidity and interest rate sensitivity through its policies and structure for asset/liability management. It has created the Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALMCO"), the objective of which is to optimize the net interest margin while assuming reasonable business risks. ALMCO annually establishes operating constraints for critical elements of BancGroup's business, such as liquidity and rate sensitivity. ALMCO constantly monitors performance and takes action in order to meet its objectives. Of primary concern to ALMCO is maintaining adequate liquidity. Liquidity is the ability of an organization to meet its financial commitments and obligations on a timely basis. These commitments and obligations include credit needs of customers, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt when due and payment of operating expenses and dividends. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows identifies the three major sources and uses of cash (liquidity) as operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities reflect cash generated from operations. Management views cash flow from operations as a major source of liquidity. Investing activities represent a primary usage of cash with the major net increase being attributed to loan growth. When investment securities mature they are generally reinvested in new investment securities or assets held for sale. Financing activities generally provide funding for the growth in loans and investment securities with increased deposits. Short-term borrowings are used to provide funding for temporary gaps in the funding of long-term assets and deposits, as well as to provide funding for mortgage loans held for sale and loan growth. BancGroup has the ability to tap other markets for certificates of deposits and to utilize established lines for Federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. BancGroup maintains and builds diversified funding sources in order to provide flexibility in meeting its requirements. 76 70 From 1992 through 1995 the significant changes in the Company's cash flows have centered around loan growth and fluctuations in mortgage loans held for sale. Loan growth of $590 million in 1995 and $375 million in 1994 has been one of the principal uses of cash in both years. The decrease in mortgage loans held for sale, was a principal source of cash in 1994 decreasing $301 million. In 1995 these loans increased, using $50 million in funds. As noted in previous sections, short-term borrowings increased $241 million in 1995 and were used to fund loan growth. Management has chosen to fund short-term fluctuations in the volume of mortgage loans held for sale with short-term borrowings as opposed to increasing rate sensitive deposits. Deposit growth of $452 million with $75 million from the previously discussed brokered CD program provided an additional source of funding for internal loan growth. As noted previously, the composition of the Company's loan portfolio has changed over the past three years. BancGroup at December 31, 1995 had $1.5 billion of residential real estate loans. These loans provide collateral for the current $850 million credit line at the FHLB. The FHLB unused credit capacity, $385 million at December 31, 1995, provides the Company significant flexibility in asset/liability management, liquidity and deposit pricing. In August,1993 the Company retired $15 million of its 1986 subordinated debentures which had a maturity date of 2011. The retirement of this debt was funded with a $15 million term note which requires an annual principal amortization of $1 million. The term note was reduced to a balance of $11,250,000 at December 31, 1995. In August 1995 BancGroup entered into a two year revolving line of credit for $15 million. This line of credit provides an additional source of funding for acquisition related activities. Management believes its liquidity sources and funding strategies are adequate given the nature of its asset base and current loan demand. The primary uses of funds as reflected in BancGroup's Parent Only Statement of Cash Flows were $2.7 million for the payment of interest on debt, $1.0 million for principal payment on term notes (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and $10.5 million for the payment of dividends. The Parent Company's primary source of funds was $13.4 million in dividends received from its Alabama subsidiary bank and $6.2 million in proceeds from the line of credit discussed previously. Dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited to the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under these limitations, approximately $57 million of retained earnings plus certain 1996 earnings would be available for distribution to BancGroup as dividends in 1996 without prior approval from the respective regulatory authorities. BancGroup anticipates that the cash flow needs of the parent company are well below the regulatory dividend restrictions of its subsidiary bank. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup's liquidity position was adequate with loan maturities of $995 million, or 31% of the total loan portfolio, due within one year. Investment securities totaling $239 million or 51% of the total portfolio also had maturities within one year or have been classified as available for sale. As of December 31, 1995 there were, however, no current plans to dispose of any significant portion of these securities. In addition BancGroup has $385 million in additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB. BancGroup's asset/liability management policy has also established targets for interest rate sensitivity. Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in the net interest margin. It is ALMCO's goal to minimize volatility in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing the level, mix and maturities of assets and liabilities and by analyzing and taking action to manage mismatch and basis risk. The interest sensitivity schedule reflects an 7.0% negative gap at 12 months. Based on this schedule, management believes that neither an increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a material swing in net income. Management has managed the asset/liability position of the bank through traditional sources. The Company does however, use off balance sheet instruments for hedging purposes to limit its risk associated with the sale of mortgage loans by providing sales commitments on all loans funded (See Note 6 to the supplemental Consolidated financial statements). The following table summarizes BancGroup's interest rate sensitivity as of December 31, 1995. 77 71 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the bottom of the table is the interest rate sensitivity gap which is the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. In reviewing the table, it should be noted that the balances are shown for a specific point in time and, because the interest sensitivity position is dynamic, it can change significantly over time. For all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, variable rate assets and liabilities are reflected in the time interval or the assets or liabilities' earliest repricing date. Fixed rate assets and liabilities have been allocated to various time intervals based on contractual repayment. Furthermore, the balances reflect contractual repricing of the deposits and management's position on repricing certain deposits where management discretion is permitted prepayment assumptions are applied at a constant rate based on the Company's historical experience. Certain demand deposit accounts and regular savings accounts have been classified as repricing beyond one year in accordance with regulatory guidelines. While these accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, experience has shown them to be relatively rate insensitive. If these accounts were included in the 0 - 90 day category, the gap in that time frame would be a negative $536 million with a corresponding cumulative gap at one year of negative $482 million. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect shareholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management's strategy to achieve these goals is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to shareholders in the form of dividends and return on equity. BancGroup's dividend pay-out ratio in 1995 was 25%. This level is below the Company's target range of 30-45%. Dividend rates are determined by the Board of Directors in consideration of several factors including: current and projected capital ratios, liquidity and income levels and other bank dividend yields and payment ratios. The amount of a cash dividend, if any, rests with the discretion of the Board of Directors of BancGroup as well as upon applicable statutory constraints such as the Delaware law requirement that dividends may be paid only out of capital surplus or out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year. BancGroup also has access to equity capital markets through both public and private issuances. Management considers these sources and related return in addition to internally generated capital in evaluating future expansion or acquisition opportunities. The Federal Reserve Board has issued guidelines identifying minimum Tier I leverage ratios relative to total assets and minimum capital ratios relative to risk-adjusted assets. The minimum leverage ratio is 3% but is increased from 100 to 200 basis points based on a review of individual banks by the Federal Reserve. The minimum risk adjusted capital ratios established by the 78 72 Federal Reserve are 4% for Tier I and 8% for total capital. BancGroup's actual capital ratios and the components of capital and risk adjusted asset information as of December 31, 1995 are stated below: Capital (thousands): Tier I Capital: Shareholders' equity (excluding unrealized gain on securities available for sale) less intangibles $ 258,857 Tier II Capital: Allowable loan loss reserve 36,455 Subordinated debt 17,121 ---------- Total Capital $ 312,433 Risk Adjusted Assets (thousands) $2,915,927 Total Assets (thousands) $4,202,195
1995 1994 1993 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Tier I leverage ratio 6.29% 6.43% 5.79% Risk Adjusted Capital Ratios: Tier I Capital Ratio 8.88% 9.24% 8.76% Total Capital Ratio 10.71% 11.27% 10.86%
BancGroup has increased capital gradually through normal earnings retention as well as through stock registrations to capitalize acquisitions. In December 1995, BancGroup notified the holders of its 1985 Convertible Subordinated Debentures of redemption of all debentures outstanding at January 31, 1996. In 1996 substantially all of the debentures were converted resulting in the issuance of 403,299 shares of Common Stock and payment in cash for the remaining balance. (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.) REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS As noted previously, dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited. The subsidiary banks are also required by law to maintain noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve requirements. At December 31, 1995, these deposits totaled $49.4 million. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD RELEASES In 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of and SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock--Based Compensation. Both standards require adoption for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management believes that the adoption of these statements will not have a material impact on BancGroup's financial position or results of operation. In May 1995, effective January 1,1995, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 122 Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment to SFAS No. 65. (See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.) 79 73 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS THE COLONIAL BANCGROUP, INC. We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated statements of condition of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related supplemental consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the mergers of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. with Commercial Bancorp of Georgia, Inc. and Southern Banking Corporation. Both occurred on July 3, 1996 and have been accounted for as poolings of interests as described in Notes 1 and 2 to the supplemental consolidated financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of interests methods in financial statements that do not include the date of consummation; however, they will become the historical consolidated financial statements of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business combinations are issued. In our opinion, the supplemental financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable after financial statements are issued for a period which includes the date of consummation of the business combination. As discussed in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated supplemental financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights in 1995, for investments in 1994 and for income taxes in 1993.

See notes to consolidated supplemental financial statements. 84 78 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. ("BancGroup") and its subsidiaries operate predominantly in the domestic commercial and mortgage banking industry. The accounting and reporting policies of BancGroup and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry. The following summarizes the most significant of these policies. BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The supplemental consolidated financial statements of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the mergers with Commercial Bancorp of Georgia, Inc. and Southern Banking Corporation on July 3, 1996. Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of consummation. These financial statements do not extend through the date of consummation; however, they will become the historical consolidated financial statements of The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business combinations are issued. The Consolidated Financial Statements of BancGroup for 1994 and 1993 have previously been restated to give retroactive effect to the February 17, 1995 acquisition of Colonial Mortgage Company, which is accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. (See Note 2) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of BancGroup and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks and Federal funds sold. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE--Effective January 1, 1994, BancGroup adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Under this statement, securities are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Held-to-maturity or investment securities are securities for which management has the ability and intent to hold on a long-term basis or until maturity. These securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums, and accretion of discount to the earlier of the maturity or call date. Securities available-for-sale represent those securities intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, including securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar factors. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at market value with unrealized gains and losses net of any tax effect, added or deducted directly from shareholders' equity. Securities carried in trading accounts are carried at market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method. Prior to 1994, securities available for sale and marketable equity securities were recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE--Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. The cost of mortgage loans held for sale is the mortgage note amount plus certain net origination costs less discounts collected. The cost of mortgage loans is adjusted by gains and losses generated from corresponding hedging transactions, principally using forward sales commitments, entered into to protect the inventory value of the loans from increases in interest rates. Hedge positions are also used to protect the pipeline of commitments to originate and purchase loans from changes in interest rates. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of the inventory, pipeline and open hedge positions are netted. Any net gain that results is deferred; any net loss that results is recognized when incurred. Hedging gains and losses realized during the commitment and warehousing period related to the pipeline and mortgage loans held for sale are deferred. Hedging losses are recognized currently if deferring such losses would result in mortgage loans held for sale and the pipeline being valued in excess of their estimated net realizable value. The aggregate cost of mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is less than their aggregate net realizable value. Gains or losses on the sale of Federal National Mortgage Association mortgage-backed securities are recognized on the earlier of the date settled or the date that a forward commitment to deliver a security to a dealer is effectively offset by a commitment to buy a similar security (paired off). These gains or losses are included in other income. LOANS--Loans are stated at face value, net of unearned income and allowance for possible loan losses. Interest income on loans is recognized under the "interest" method except for certain installment loans where interest income is recognized under the "Rule of 78's" (sum-of-the-months digits) method, which does not produce results significantly different from the "interest" method. Nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans are recognized under the interest method as a yield adjustment over the life of the corresponding loan. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES--BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition Disclosure, on January 1, 1995. Under the new standards, a loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Uncollateralized loans are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, while all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Smaller balance homogeneous loans which consist of residential mortgages and consumer loans are evaluated collectively and reserves are established based on historical loss experience. The adoption of SFAS 114 and 118 resulted in no additional provision for credit losses at January 1, 1995. At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with SFAS 114 totaled $16,293,000 and these loans had a corresponding valuation allowance 85 79 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of $5,907,000. The impaired loans at December 31, 1995, were measured for impairment based primarily on the value of underlying collateral. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $18,461,000. BancGroup recognized approximately $1,040,000 of interest on impaired loans during the portion of the year that they were impaired. BancGroup uses several factors in determining if a loan is impaired under SFAS No. 114. Generally, nonaccrual loans as well as loans classified by internal loan review are reviewed for impairment. The internal asset classification procedures include a thorough review of significant loans and lending relationships and include the accumulation of related data. This data includes loan payment status, borrower's financial data, and borrowers' operating factors such as cash flows, operating income or loss, etc. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Increases and decreases in the allowance due to changes in the measurement of the impaired loans are included in the provision for loan losses. Loans continue to be classified as impaired unless they are brought fully current and the collection of scheduled interest and principal is considered probable. When a loan or portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectable, the portion deemed uncollectable is charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and an analysis of current economic conditions. While management believes that it has established the allowance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment, there can be no assurance that in the future the Bank's regulators or its economic environment will not require further increases in the allowance. INCOME RECOGNITION ON IMPAIRED AND NONACCRUAL LOANS--Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well collateralized and in the process of collection. If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful or is partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as nonaccrual. Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal. While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal outstanding, except in the case of loans with scheduled amortizations where the payment is generally applied to the oldest payment due. When the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a nonaccrual loan has been partially charged off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the recorded loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Receipts in excess of that amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charge offs have been fully recovered. Interest income recognized on a cash basis was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives range from five to forty years for bank buildings and leasehold improvements and three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of property, the asset account is relieved of the cost of the item and the allowance for depreciation is charged with accumulated depreciation. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current income. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED--Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at the lower of cost or market value less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down from the cost to market value required at the time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for possible loan losses. Subsequent write-downs and gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in noninterest income or expense. INTANGIBLE ASSETS--Intangible assets acquired in acquisitions of banks are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over a period not to exceed twenty years for the excess of cost over tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and ten years for deposit core base intangibles using the straight-line method. The recoverability of intangible assets is reviewed periodically based on the current earnings of acquired entities. If warranted, analysis, including undiscounted income projections, are made to determine if adjustments to carrying value or amortization periods are necessary. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS--BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, in May 1995 effective January 1,1995. This statement amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 65 to substantially eliminate the accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination activities and those acquired 86 80 through purchase transactions. The statement requires an allocation of the total cost of mortgage loans held for sale to mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale (without mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized primarily using an accelerated method in proportion to the estimated net servicing income from the related loans, which approximates a level yield method. The amortization period represents management's best estimate of the remaining loan lives. The carrying values of the mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on their fair values categorized by year of origination or acquisition. Fair values of servicing rights are determined by estimating the present value of future net servicing income considering the average interest rate and the average remaining lives of the related mortgage loans being serviced. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup had mortgage servicing rights (included in other assets) with a net book value of $80.1 million and excess servicing rights included in other assets with a net book value of $8.1 million. The estimated combined fair value of these assets is approximately $120 million. The servicing portfolio is geographically disbursed throughout the United States with a concentration in the southern states. The mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are stated net of accumulated amortization of approximately $25,903,000 and $27,235,000, respectively. Mortgage servicing fees are deducted from the monthly payments on mortgage loans and are recorded as income when earned. Fees from investors for servicing their portfolios of residential loans generally range from 1/4 of 1% to 1/2 of 1% per year on the outstanding principal balance. INCOME TAXES--Effective January 1, 1993, BancGroup adopted SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, which changed BancGroup's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method required under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method (See Note 18). The principal difference between the asset and liability method and deferred method is that, under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in statutory tax rates resulting in income adjustments in the period such changes are enacted. BancGroup files a consolidated income tax return; however, income taxes are computed by each subsidiary on a separate basis, and taxes currently payable are remitted to BancGroup. EARNINGS PER SHARE--Primary earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding and common stock equivalents which consists of shares issuable under outstanding stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share also gives effect to shares issuable under convertible debenture agreements. ADVERTISING COSTS--Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $3,733,000, $2,719,000 and $1,579,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS--In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of (SFAS No. 121). This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. This statement also requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. SFAS No. 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have a material impact on BancGroup's financial statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) in October 1995. This statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. However, SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Entities electing to remain with the accounting in Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. BancGroup has elected to continue to measure compensation cost for their stock option plan under the provisions in APB Opinion 25. 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On July 3, 1996, BancGroup completed a business combination with Commercial Bancorp of Georgia,Inc. (CBG), of Lawrenceville, Georgia with the issuance of 1,153,230 shares of BancGroup common stock. At the date of combination, CBG had assets of $233 million and equity of $21 million. The transaction was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and accordingly all prior period information has been restated to include CBG. On July 3, 1996, BancGroup completed a business combination with Southern Banking Corporation (SBC), of Orlando, Florida with the issuance of 1,429,247 shares of BancGroup common stock. At the date of combination, SBC had assets of $232 million and equity of $17 million. The transaction was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and accordingly all prior period information has been restated to include SBC. On February 17, 1995, BancGroup completed a merger with Colonial Mortgage Company (CMC) and its parent company, The Colonial Company (TCC). At the merger date TCC's only asset was its investment in CMC. BancGroup issued 2,272,727 shares of its common stock and assumed the debts of TCC. At the merger date, TCC and CMC had total assets of $71 million, total liabilities of $64 million, and total stockholders' equity of $7 million. This business combination by entities under common control was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests and accordingly all prior period information has been restated to include CMC. 87 81 The following tables show the effect of the above transaction on results of operations for the periods prior to the merger and shareholders' equity at January 1, 1993 (earliest date presented).

The combined financial results presented above include an adjustment made to conform accounting policies of TCC, CMC and BancGroup. The adjustment was the restatement of CMC's 1993 net income for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to SFAS 109, which CMC previously adopted and had elected to apply retroactively to 1991. The adjustment increased net income $2,059,000 in 1993. Material intercompany transactions between TCC, CMC and BancGroup have been eliminated in consolidation. During 1995, three acquisitions were consummated; the following table represents those acquisitions. (Dollars in thousands)

The market values of obligations of states and political subdivisions were established with the assistance of an independent pricing service. They were based on available market data reflecting transactions of relatively small size and not necessarily indicative of the prices at which large amounts of particular issues could be readily sold or purchased. Included within other investment securities are $10,000,000 in marketable equity securities at both December 31, 1995 and 1994. Included within securities available for sale is $24,496,000 and $12,021,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Securities with a carrying value of approximately $312,630,000 and $311,129,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively, were pledged for various purposes as required or permitted by law. Gross gains of $77,000, $217,000 and $102,000 and gross losses of $52,000, $138,000 and $1,000 were realized on sales of securities for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The amortized cost and market value of debt securities at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, are as follows. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

LOANS A summary of loans follows:

BancGroup's lending is concentrated throughout Alabama, southern Tennessee, central Georgia and central Florida and repayment of these loans is in part dependent upon the economic conditions in the respective regions of the states. Management does not believe the loan portfolio contains concentrations of credits either geographically or by borrower which would expose BancGroup to unacceptable amounts of risk. Management continually evaluates the potential risk in all segments of the portfolio in determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses. Other than concentrations of credit risk in Alabama and commercial real estate loans in general, management is not aware of any significant concentrations. BancGroup evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by BancGroup upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential houses and income-producing commercial properties. No additional credit risk exposure, relating to outstanding loan balances, exists beyond the amounts shown in the consolidated statement of condition at December 31, 1995. In the normal course of business, loans are made to officers, directors, principal shareholders and to companies in which they own a significant interest. Such loans aggregated approximately $35.6 million and $55.3 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Loan activity to officers, directors, principal shareholders and to companies in which they own a significant interest which aggregated a loan balance of more than $60,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 are summarized as follows:

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK BancGroup is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit and obligations to deliver and sell mortgage loans and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. BancGroup's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and obligations to deliver and sell mortgage loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. BancGroup uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. BancGroup has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty to originate loans. The total amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
(In thousands) Contract Amount - --------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 ---- ---- Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Loan commitments $494,703 $529,928 Standby letters of credit 28,440 18,058 Mortgage sales commitments 121,925 56,750
Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and funding loan commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Obligations to sell loans at specified dates (typically within ninety days of the commitment date) and at specified prices are intended to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the time period between the initial offer to lend and the subsequent sale to a permanent investor. Risks arise from changes in interest rates. Changes in the market value of the sales commitments is included in the measurement of the gain or loss on mortgage loans held for sale. The current market value of these commitments was $120,644,000 and $56,823,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 90 84 7.

BancGroup had outstanding term notes (Note 9) of which the current portion, $1,000,000, is included in other short-term borrowings at December 31, 1995 and 1994. BancGroup became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in late 1992. Based on its investment in the FHLB and other factors at December 31, 1995, BancGroup can borrow up to $850 million from the FHLB on either a short or long-term basis. At December 31, 1995, $465,000,000 was outstanding. FHLB has a blanket lien on BancGroup's 1-4 family mortgage loans in the amount of the outstanding debt. Additional details regarding short-term borrowings are shown below:

The 12 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due December 15, 2000 ("1985 Debentures") were issued in connection with the acquisition of a bank. The 1985 Debentures are redeemable, at the option of BancGroup, ten years from the date of issuance at face value plus accrued interest. At the option of the holder, each 1985 Debenture may be converted into BancGroup Common Stock at the conversion price of $18.25 principal amount of 1985 Debentures, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, for each share of stock received. In January, 1996, BancGroup called the 12 3/4% subordinated debentures. As a result, 403,299 shares of BancGroup Common Stock were issued and cash was paid for the remaining debentures. The 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2011 ("1986 Debentures") issued in 1986 are convertible at any time into shares of BancGroup Common Stock, at the conversion price of $28.00 principal amount of 1986 Debentures, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, for each share of stock received. The 1986 Debentures are redeemable at the option of BancGroup at the face amount plus accrued interest. In the event all of the remaining 1986 Debentures are converted into shares of BancGroup Common Stock in accordance with the 1986 Indenture, a total of 343,898 shares of such Common Stock will be issued. On August 11, 1993, BancGroup redeemed $15 million of the 1986 Debentures at 102.25%. The redemption resulted in an extraordinary loss of $746,000 ($463,000, net of tax). The redemption also reduced by 535,000 the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. The redemption was funded primarily by the term note discussed in the following paragraph. BancGroup has a term note with $11,250,000 outstanding at December 31, 1995. (Also see Note 8.) The term note is payable in annual installments of $1,000,000 with the balance due in 1998. BancGroup also has a line of credit with the same financial institution totaling $15 million of which $6,352,000 is outstanding at December 31, 1995. The line of credit is due at maturity in August 1997. The term note and the line of credit bear interest at a rate of 1.5% above LIBOR. All 91 85 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of the capital stock of BancGroup's subsidiary banks is pledged as collateral. The agreements contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the sale of assets, incurrence of additional indebtedness, repurchase of BancGroup stock, and requires BancGroup to maintain certain specified financial ratios. BancGroup had long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Advances outstanding of $5,516,000 and $2,530,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These advances bear interest rates of 4% to 7.53% and mature from 1999 to 2011. BancGroup, with the acquisition of First AmFed, also assumed the real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) bonds through a conduit, Service Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of Colonial Bank. These bonds were series A (four classes) with an original principal amount of $28,123,000 and a coupon interest rate of 7.875%. As of December 31, 1995 the bonds have an outstanding balance of $7,024,000 and are collateralized by FNMA mortgaged-backed securities with a carrying value of $6,971,000. The collections on these securities are used to pay interest and principal on the bonds. Only Class A-3 and A-4 bonds remain outstanding. The REMIC bonds are summarized in the following table:

At December 31, 1994, Colonial Mortgage had purchased servicing notes payable with various lenders with interest rates that ranged from 9.0% fixed to prime, reduced by compensating balance credits limited to a base rate of 1.5%, due monthly and quarterly. The Colonial Mortgage purchased servicing notes payable were paid in full immediately following the merger. 10. CAPITAL STOCK Effective February 21,1995 the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock were reclassified into one class of stock called Common Stock, $2.50 par value, with equal rights for all shareholders. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of the preference stock in one or more series, and in connection with such issuance, to establish the relative rights, preferences, and limitations of each such series. Prior to the reclassification the holders of Class A Common Stock had limited voting rights compared with the holders of Class B Common Stock. The holders of the Class A Common Stock were entitled to elect, voting as a separate class, up to 25% (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of the entire Board of Directors of BancGroup, and the holders of the Class B Common Stock were entitled to elect the remaining directors. On all other matters coming before the stockholders of BancGroup, except matters for which Delaware law requires a class vote, the holders of the Class A Common Stock were entitled to one twentieth (1/20) of one (1) vote per share and the holders of the Class B Common Stock were entitled to one (1) vote per share. Stockholders of BancGroup may not act by written consent or call special meetings. At the option of the holder of record, and subject to adjustment to avoid dilution in the event of certain occurrences, each share of BancGroup Class B Common Stock was convertible at any time into one share of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class A Common Stock were not convertible into any other securities of BancGroup. 11. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS Dividends payable by national and state banks in any year, without prior approval of the appropriate regulatory authorities, are limited to the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. Under these limitations, approximately $57.0 million of retained earnings plus certain 1996 earnings would be available for distribution to BancGroup as dividends in 1996 without prior approval from the respective regulatory authorities. The subsidiary banks are required by law to maintain noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve requirements. At December 31,1995, these deposits totaled $49.4 million. 12. LEASES BancGroup and its subsidiaries have entered into certain noncancellable leases for premises and equipment used in connection with its operations. The majority of these noncancellable lease agreements contain renewal options for varying periods at the same or renegotiated rentals, and several contain purchase options at fair value. Future minimum lease payments under all noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms (exclusive of renewal options) of one year or more at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

Rent expense for all leases amounted to $6,184,000 in 1995, $5,104,000 in 1994 and $4,319,000 in 1993. 92 86 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS BancGroup and its subsidiaries are participants in a pension plan with certain other related companies. This plan covers most employees who have met certain age and length of service requirements. BancGroup's policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using the frozen entry age actuarial method. Actuarial computations for financial reporting purposes are based on the projected unit credit method. For purposes of determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation, the weighted average discount rate was 7.25% for 1995, 8.5% for 1994 and 7% for 1993. The rate of increase in future compensation levels was 4.00% for 1995, 5.00% for 1994, and 4.25% for 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 9% for 1995, 1994, and 1993. Employee pension benefit plan status at December 31:

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the pension plan assets included investments of 29,937 and 29,097 shares of BancGroup Common Stock representing 7% and 5% of pension plan assets, respectively. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup Common Stock included in pension plan assets had a cost and market value of $507,312 and $965,468, respectively. Pension plan assets are distributed approximately 11% in U.S. Government and agency issues, 37% in Corporate bonds and 44% in equity securities including BancGroup Common Stock and 1% in preferred stock. BancGroup also has an incentive savings plan (the "Savings Plan") for all of the employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. The Savings Plan, provides certain retirement, death, disability and employment benefits to all eligible employees and qualifies as a deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants in the Savings Plan make basic contributions and may make supplemental contributions to increase benefits. BancGroup contributes a minimum of 50% of the basic contributions made by the employees and may make an additional contribution from profits on an annual basis. An employee's interest in BancGroup's contributions becomes 100% vested after five years of participation in the Savings Plan. Participants have options as to the investment of their Savings Plan funds, one of which includes purchase of Common Stock of BancGroup. Charges to operations for this plan and similar plans of combined banks amounted to $772,000, $606,000 and $476,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 14. STOCK PLANS The 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the 1992 Plan") provides an incentive to certain officers and key management employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1992 Plan must be at a price not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. All options expire no more than ten years from the date of grant, or three months after an employee's termination. An aggregate of 550,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 1992 Plan. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, 488,519 and 429,269 shares, respectively remained available for the granting of options under the 1992 Plan. The 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan ("the 1992 Nonqualified Plan") provides an incentive to directors, officers and employees of BancGroup and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan must be at a price not less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. All options expire no more than ten years after the date of grant, or three months after an employee's termination. An aggregate of 800,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan. At December 31,1995 and 1994, 782,750 and 786,500 shares, respectively remained available for the granting of options under the 1992 Nonqualified Plan. Prior to 1992, BancGroup had both a qualified incentive stock option plan ("Plan") under which options were granted at a price not less than fair market value and a nonqualified stock option plan ("Nonqualified Plan") under which options were granted at a price not less than 85% of fair market value. All options under the plans expire ten years from the date of grant, or three months after the employee's termination. Although options previously granted under these plans may be exercised, no further options may be granted. Pursuant to the SBC and CBG combinations, BancGroup assumed qualified stock options and non-qualified stock options in exchange for existing officers and directors and other stock options according to the respective exchange ratios. 93 87 The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following is a summary of the transactions in Common Stock under these plans for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

In 1987 BancGroup adopted the Restricted Stock Plan for Directors ("Directors Plan") whereby directors of BancGroup and its subsidiary banks may receive Common Stock in lieu of cash director fees. The election to participate in the Directors Plan is made at the inception of the director's term except for BancGroup directors who make this election six months prior to the inception of their term. Shares earned under the plan for regular fees are issued quarterly while supplemental fees are issued annually. All shares become vested at the expiration of the director's term. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, 17,024, 14,267, and 13,116 shares of Common Stock were issued under the Directors Plan, representing approximately $326,000, $284,000, and $197,000 in directors' fees for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In 1992 BancGroup adopted the Stock Bonus and Retention Plan to promote the long-term interests of BancGroup and its shareholders by providing a means for attracting and retaining officers, employees and directors by awarding Restricted Stock which shall vest 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the award. An aggregate of 750,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under this Plan. There were 25,650 shares outstanding of which 130 shares were vested at December 31, 1995. In 1994 BancGroup adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides salaried employees of BancGroup with a convenient way to become shareholders of BancGroup. The participant authorizes a regular payroll deduction of not less than $10 or more than 10% of salary. The participant may also contribute whole dollar amounts of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 each month toward the purchase of the stock at market price. There are 150,000 shares authorized for issuance under this Plan. There were 6,221 shares issued and outstanding under this Plan at December 31, 1995. 15. CONTINGENCIES BancGroup and its subsidiary banks are from time to time defendants in legal actions from normal business activities. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from litigation outstanding at December 31, 1995, will have a materially adverse effect on BancGroup's financial statements. Due to current congressional proposals to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), the Company may incur a one-time charge when the proposed legislation is enacted. At December 31, 1995, BancGroup had approximately $719 million in deposits which would be subject to such an assessment. 16. RELATED PARTIES Most of the insurance coverage for vendor single interest, credit life, and accident and health insurance is provided to customers of BancGroup's subsidiary bank by companies owned by a principal shareholder and a director of BancGroup. Premiums collected from customers and remitted to these companies on such insurance were approximately $1,712,000, $2,242,000 and $1,287,000, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. BancGroup, Colonial Bank and Colonial Mortgage lease premises, including their principal corporate offices, and airplane services from companies owned by principal shareholders of BancGroup. Amounts paid under these leases and agreements approximated $3,100,000, $2,300,000 and $1,900,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, BancGroup and its subsidiaries paid or accrued fees of approximately $1,306,000, $1,326,000 and $949,000, respectively, for legal services required of law firms in which a partner of the firm serves on the Board of Directors. 94 88 17.

BancGroup adopted SFAS No.109 as of January 1, 1993, as described in Note 1. This change in accounting principle resulted in a $3,650,000 credit being reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes in the 1993 statement of income. The reasons for the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes are as follows:

The components of BancGroup's net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were as follows:

The net deferred tax asset is included as a component of accrued interest and other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. BancGroup did not establish a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax asset due to taxes paid within the carryback period being sufficient to offset future deductions resulting from the reversal of these temporary differences. 19. 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 AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. - - INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE--For debt securities and marketable equity securities held either for investment purposes or for sale, fair value equals quoted market price, if avail- 95 89 The Colonial Bancgroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- able. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. - - MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE--For these short-term instruments, the fair value is determined from quoted current market prices. - - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS AND EXCESS SERVICING FEES--Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows from servicing fees using discount rates that approximate current market rates. - - LOANS--For loans, the fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. - - DEPOSITS--The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. - - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS--For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. - - LONG TERM DEBT--Rates currently available to BancGroup for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. - - COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT--The value of the unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the related fee income associated with the commitments, which is not material to BancGroup's financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The estimated fair values of BancGroup's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
