REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors
Compass Bancshares, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of COMPASS BANCSHARES, INC. PROFIT SHARING STOCK BONUS PLAN (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. These 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Compass Bancshares, Inc.
Profit Sharing Stock Bonus Plan as of December 31, 1999 and the changes in its
net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in Schedules
I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

            COMPASS BANCSHARES, INC. PROFIT SHARING STOCK BONUS PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND 1997



1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying financial statements of Compass Bancshares, Inc. Profit
     Sharing Stock Bonus Plan (the "Plan") have been prepared on an accrual
     basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
     United States.

     INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES

     Corporate securities are valued based on quotations obtained from national
     securities exchanges. Mutual funds are valued at their current unit value.
     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Realized gains and losses are calculated using the average cost method.

     VALUATION OF ASSETS

     The pooled separate account funds are stated at fair value. The guaranteed
     long-term fund is valued at contract value, in accordance with Statement of
     Position 94-4, REPORTING OF INVESTMENT CONTRACTS HELD BY HEALTH AND WELFARE
     BENEFIT PLANS AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLANS. Contract value
     approximates fair value. Contract value represents contributions made under
     the contract plus interest at the contract rate. The average yield for the
     guaranteed long-term fund was 5.62% and 5.92% for 1999 and 1998,
     respectively.

     PLAN EXPENSES

     The trust department of Compass Bank (the "Trustee") is trustee for the
     Plan. Compass Bank is a wholly owned banking subsidiary of Compass
     Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "Employer"). Administrative fees are
     paid directly by the Company. Trustee administrative fees were $770,005,
     $864,375, and $694,069 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
     1997, respectively.

     USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Plan
     administrator 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 changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

2.   ORGANIZATION

     The Plan is a defined contribution pension plan and was adopted on November
     19, 1976, effective January 1, 1976. The Plan was amended, effective
     September 8, 1999, to change the name of the plan from Employee Stock
     Ownership Plan to Profit Sharing Stock Bonus Plan. The plan was amended,
     effective April 1, 1986, to include a salary reduction feature which
     permits employees who participate ("Participants") in the Plan to defer and
     save part of their compensation, as provided for under Section 401(k) of
     the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is subject to the applicable provisions
     of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
     ("ERISA").

3.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

     Employees automatically become Participants on the first day of January or
     July following completion of one year of service. Participants may elect to
     have up to 10% of their compensation deferred and contributed to the Plan.

     Participants may allocate their contributions, in multiples of 1%, to the
     following funds:

          1.   Employee/Employer Company Stock Fund--Invested entirely in common
               stock of Compass Bancshares, Inc.

          2.   ESOP-Employer Company Stock Fund--Invested entirely in common
               stock of Compass Bancshares, Inc.

          3.   Expedition Equity Fund--In 1997, all balances previously held in
               the Growth Stock Fund, the Value Stock Fund, or the Contrarian
               Stock Fund were converted to shares of the Expedition Equity
               Fund. The Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its total
               assets) in common stocks issued by mid and large capitalization
               companies. The Fund invests in stocks of private companies that
               are subject to wide market value (price) fluctuations based on
               market and economic conditions and perceptions, and therefore,
               involves a high level of investment risk.

          4.   Federated Capital Preservation Fund--Invested solely in one or
               more guaranteed income contracts entered into with insurance
               companies with the objective of providing high current income and
               stability of principal. The Plan's investment in this Fund was
               discontinued in 1998.

<PAGE>   9

          5.   Expedition Money Market Fund (previously Starburst Money Market
               Fund)--Invests in high quality money market instruments that are
               either rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or
               more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or of
               comparable quality to securities having such ratings.

          6.   Expedition Bond Fund--Invests in a diversified portfolio
               consisting primarily of bonds (normally at least 65% in bonds),
               as well as other fixed income securities. The Fund may also
               invest in certain securities, including mortgage-related
               securities, foreign securities and financial futures and options
               on financial fixtures, which may present special risks not
               associated with bonds and fixed-income securities generally.

          7.   Vanguard International Growth Fund--Invests in stocks of non-U.S.
               companies. About two-thirds of the Fund's assets are invested in
               small and medium sized companies, and the remaining assets are
               invested in large companies. The Plan's investment in this Fund
               was discontinued in 1998.

          8.   AIM Constellation Fund--Invests primarily in U.S. companies. The
               Fund's investment advisor emphasizes medium-sized and small-sized
               emerging growth companies. The Fund is also invested in companies
               that are likely to benefit from new or innovative products,
               services, or processes.

          9.   Evergreen Foundation Balanced Fund--Invests in a combination of
               common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible or
               exchangeable for common stocks, corporate and U.S. Government
               debt obligations, and short-term debt obligations. The Fund
               anticipates that at least 25% of its net assets will consist of
               fixed-income securities. The balance is invested in equity
               securities or securities convertible into equity securities. The
               Plan's investment in this Fund was discontinued in 1998.

          10.  Fidelity Advisor Stable Value Portfolio--Invests in short- and
               long-term investment contracts issued by insurance companies
               (GICs), investment contracts issued by commercial banks (BICs),
               synthetic investment contracts, and cash equivalents. The Plan
               began investing in this Fund in 1998.

          11.  Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund--Invests primarily in foreign
               securities. The Fund invests approximately 65% of the total
               assets in these securities. The Fund may also invest in U.S.
               issuers. The Fund normally diversifies its investments across
               different countries and regions taking into account the size of
               the market in each country and region relative to the size of the
               international market as a whole. The Fund expects to invest
               primarily in equity securities but may also invest up to 35% of
               its assets in any type of debt securities for long-term growth
               purposes. The Plan began investing in this fund in 1998.

          12.  Fidelity Advisor Balanced Fund--Invests in a diversified
               portfolio of equity and fixed-income securities with income,
               growth of income, and capital appreciation potential. The Fund's
               advisor manages the Fund to maintain a balance between stocks and
               bonds. The Fund invests approximately 60% of the Fund's assets in
               stocks and other equity securities and the remainder in bonds and
               other fixed-income securities. The Fund also invests at least 25%
               of the Fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities,
               including debt securities and preferred stock. The Plan began
               investing in this Fund in 1998.

     Compass Bank is in the investment advisor for the Expedition Equity Fund,
     Expedition Money Market Fund, and the Expedition Bond Fund.

     EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

     The Employer, in its sole discretion, may make matching contributions in an
     amount determined by the board of directors of the Company under the 401(k)
     provisions of the Plan. These matching contributions may not exceed the
     lesser of a Participant's elective contribution or 2% of such Participant's
     base compensation. These matching contributions are invested in the
     Employee/Employer Company Stock Fund.

     If the Employer's earnings reach a targeted amount, the Employer may
     contribute an additional 1% matching amount. Such contributions are also
     invested in the Employee/Employer Company Stock Fund and are allocated to
     employee accounts based on relative compensation. Upon reaching the
     targeted amount, the Employer may also elect to make a contribution to the
     ESOP--Employer Company Stock Fund under the employee stock ownership
     provisions of the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
     1997, the employer's earnings reached the targeted amount.

     VESTING

     Participants have a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in the portion
     of their accounts attributable to their 401(k) contributions and the
     Employer's matching contributions to the Employee/Employer Company Stock
     Fund, including earnings thereon. A Participant acquires a vested interest
     in amounts attributable to the ESOP--Employer Company Stock Fund based on
     length of employment, as follows:

     FORFEITURES

     If a Participant incurs a "break in service," as defined in the Plan, for
     any reason other than permanent disability, death, or normal retirement,
     and is not 100% vested in the employer discretionary contributions, the
     nonvested portion is forfeited. Forfeited amounts attributable to employer
     discretionary contributions are allocated among eligible Participants in
     the same manner as employer discretionary contributions.

     DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS

     Upon retirement, disability, or death, participants become 100% vested in
     his or her account. Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect
     to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant's vested
     interest in his or her account. The form of payment is a lump-sum
     distribution.

     WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

     Participants may request that all or part of their accounts attributable to
     elective contributions, adjusted for gain or loss thereon, be paid to them
     to meet an immediate and heavy financial hardship for which funds are not
     reasonably available to them from other sources. The amount paid to a
     Participant in this fashion is taxable and may not be repaid to the Plan.

     PRIORITIES UPON TERMINATION

     Upon termination of the Plan, all Participants' funds shall become fully
     vested. The trust will continue until the Plan benefits of each Participant
     has been distributed.

     ROLLOVERS

     During 1999, 1998, and 1997, assets were rolled into the Plan from the
     plans that were associated with banks acquired by the Company.

6.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
     termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer
     contributions.

7.   TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter dated December
     13, 1995 stating that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
     with applicable Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") requirements as of that date.
     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
     However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently
     designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the IRC. Therefore, the plan administrator believes that
     the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the
     financial statement dates.

8.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Compass Bank, a subsidiary of the Employer, serves as trustee of the Plan,
     controlling the distribution and investment of the Plan's assets. During
     1999, 1998 and 1997 trustee fees were paid by the Company.

     Compass Bank, a wholly owned banking subsidiary of the Company, acts as
     investment manager for the Expedition Equity Fund, Expedition Bond Fund,
     and Expedition Money Market Fund.
