NOTE 3 - CAPITAL AND PREFERRED SECURITIES

Compass Trust I

      In January 1997, the Company formed a wholly owned Delaware statutory
business trust, Compass Trust I, which issued $100 million of guaranteed
preferred beneficial interests in the Company's junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures ("Capital Securities") that qualify as Tier I capital under
Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common securities of Compass Trust
I are owned by the Company. The proceeds from the issuance of the Capital
Securities ($100 million) and common securities ($3.1 million) were used by
Compass Trust I to purchase $103.1 million of junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures of the Company which carry an interest rate of 8.23 percent.
The debentures represent the sole asset of Compass Trust I. The debentures and
related income statement effects are eliminated in the Company's financial
statements.

      The Capital Securities accrue and pay distributions semiannually at a rate
of 8.23 percent per annum of the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per capital
security. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements which, taken
collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and
unpaid distributions required to be paid on the Capital Securities; (ii) the
redemption price with respect to any Capital Securities called for redemption by
Compass Trust I; and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, winding-up or termination of Compass Trust I.

      The Capital Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the
debentures on January 15, 2027, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the
indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by
Compass Trust I: (i) in whole or in part, on or after January 15, 2007, and (ii)
in whole (but not in part) at any time within 90 days following the occurrence
and during the continuation of a tax event or capital treatment event (as
defined in the offering circular and indenture). As specified in the indenture,
if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be
the principal amount, any accrued but unpaid interest, plus a premium ranging
from 4.12 percent in 2007 to 0.41 percent in 2016.

MB Capital I

In February 1998, MB Capital I, formerly a subsidiary of MegaBank, a
special-purpose wholly-owned Delaware trust subsidiary of the Company, completed
an offering of 1,200,000 shares (issue price of $10 per share) totaling $12.0
million of fixed-rate 8.75 percent Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities
(Preferred Securities), which are guaranteed by the Company. MB Capital I
invested the total proceeds it received in 8.75 percent Junior Subordinated
Deferrable Interest Debentures (Debentures) issued by the Company. Interest paid
on the Debentures will be distributed to the holders of the Preferred
Securities. These Debentures are unsecured and rank junior and are subordinate
in right of payment to all senior debt of the Company. The Debentures and
related income statement effects are eliminated in the Company's financial
statements.

      The distribution rate payable on the Preferred Securities is cumulative
and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right, subject to events
of default, to defer payments of interest on the Debentures at any time by
extending the interest payment period for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive
quarters with respect to each deferral period, provided that no extension period
may extend beyond the redemption or maturity date of the Debentures. The
Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon repayment of the
Debentures. The Debentures mature on February 9, 2028, which may be shortened to
not earlier than February 9, 2003, if certain conditions are met, or at any time
upon the occurrence and continuation of certain changes in either the tax
treatment or the capital treatment of MB Capital I, the Debentures or the
Preferred Securities. The Company has the right to terminate MB Capital I and
cause the Debentures to be distributed to the holders of the Preferred
Securities in liquidation of such trust.

that have certain common characteristics, through various products and services.
The segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany
transactions. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine
the consolidated balances. The Company's reportable operating segments are
Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Asset Management, and Treasury.

      Prior to September 30, 2000, the Company viewed the indirect automobile
portfolio as part of Corporate Support and Other. This portfolio is now viewed
as a component of Retail Banking. Prior to June 30, 2000, the Company reported
Community Banking as a separate operating segment. This segment is no longer
viewed by the Company as a separate operating segment but instead is viewed as a
component of Retail Banking. As a result of the changes, all corresponding
financial information for earlier periods has been restated.

      The Corporate Banking segment is responsible for providing a full array of
banking and investment services to business banking, commercial banking, and
other institutional clients in each of the Company's major metropolitan markets.
The Corporate Banking segment also includes a National Industries unit that is
responsible for serving larger national accounts, principally in targeted
industries. In addition to traditional credit and deposit products, the
Corporate Banking segment also supports its customers with capabilities in
treasury management, leasing, accounts receivable purchasing, asset-based
lending, international services, and interest rate protection and investment
products.

      The Retail Banking segment serves the Company's consumer customers through
an extensive banking office network and through the use of alternative delivery
channels such as personal computer banking, the internet and telephone banking.
The Retail Banking segment provides individuals with comprehensive products and
services, including home mortgages, credit cards, deposit accounts, mutual
funds, and brokerage and insurance. In addition, Retail Banking also serves the
Company's small business customers, is responsible for the indirect automobile
portfolio and provides the Company's non-metropolitan markets with the same
products and services offered by the Corporate Banking and Asset Management
segments.

      The Asset Management segment provides specialized investment portfolio
management, traditional credit products, financial counseling, and customized
services to the Company's private clients and foundations as well as investment
management and retirement services to companies and their employees. The Asset
Management segment is also the discretionary investment manager of Expedition
Funds(R), the Company's family of proprietary mutual funds.

      The Treasury segment's primary function is to manage the investment
securities portfolio, certain residential real estate loans, public entity
deposits, and the liquidity and funding positions of the Company.

      Corporate Support and Other includes activities that are not directly
attributable to the reportable segments. Included in this category are the
activities of the parent company and support functions, i.e., accounting, loan
review, etc. and the elimination of intercompany transactions.

      The following tables present the segment information for the Company's
segments as of and for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999.

                    COMPASS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED



NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
Statement requires that changes in a derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special
accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to
offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires
that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities --Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which delays the original
effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, which amends SFAS No. 133. SFAS No.
138 addresses a limited number of issues related to the implementation of SFAS
No. 133. Substantially all of the current derivative portfolio will qualify
under SFAS No. 133 for cash flow or fair value hedge accounting treatment. The
implementation of SFAS No. 133, as amended, is not expected to have a material
effect on Compass' consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.

      In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which
supersedes SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 140 is effective for
transfers occurring after March 31, 2001, its disclosure requirements relating
to securitization transactions and collateral are effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2000. The implementation of SFAS No. 140 is not
expected to have a material effect on Compass' consolidated financial position
or consolidated results of operations.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

      This report may contain forward-looking statements which are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Statements pertaining to future
periods are subject to uncertainty because of the possibility of changes in
underlying factors and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from
those contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements for a variety
of reasons including: sharp and/or rapid changes in interest rates; significant
changes in the economic scenario from the current anticipated scenario which
could materially change anticipated credit quality trends and the ability to
generate loans; significant delay in or inability to execute strategic
initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or control expenses; unanticipated
issues during the integration of acquisitions; and significant changes in
accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements.


OVERVIEW

      Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, increased 10 percent
to $63.0 million while diluted earnings per share increased 8 percent to $0.52
per share. Net interest income increased three percent to $171.3 million from
the third quarter of 1999. Noninterest income increased 27 percent to $75.7
million while noninterest expense increased six percent to $141.1 million.

      For the first nine months of 2000, net income increased seven percent to
$179.8 million and diluted earnings per share increased six percent to $1.50 per
share. Net interest income for the nine months grew $22.6 million, an increase
of 5 percent, while noninterest income and noninterest expense increased 26
percent and 9 percent, respectively.

CASH BASIS RESULTS

      Cash basis results exclude the amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles considered nonqualifying in regulatory capital calculations
resulting from business combinations recorded by the company under the purchase
method of accounting. Had these business combinations qualified for accounting
under the pooling-of-interests method, no intangible asset would have been
recorded. Since the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles does not
result in a cash expense, the economic value to shareholders under either
accounting method is essentially the same. Additionally, such amortization does
not impact the Company's liquidity and funds management activities.

      On a cash basis, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, was
$67.8 million, a 12 percent increase over the $60.7 million for the same quarter
last year. Similarly, diluted earnings per share were $0.56 in the third quarter
of 2000, an eight percent increase compared to $0.52 in the prior year quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net income was $193.3 million, a
nine percent increase compared to $177 million for the first nine months of
1999. Diluted earnings per share increased eight percent to $1.61 compared to
$1.49 for comparable period a year ago. Amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles, before income tax effect, was $6.1 and $4.4 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and was $16.8 and $11.0 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

      Net interest income is the principal component of a financial
institution's income stream and represents the difference or spread between
interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense
paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as
changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
can materially impact net interest income. The following discussion of net
interest income is presented on a taxable equivalent basis, unless otherwise
noted, to facilitate performance comparisons among various taxable and
tax-exempt assets.


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17


      Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, increased
$4.9 million over the third quarter of 1999 to $172.5 million with interest
income and interest expense increasing $45.7 million and $40.8 million,
respectively. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average
earning assets of $1.1 billion, or seven percent, and by a 57 basis point
increase in the average yield on earning assets from 7.71 percent to 8.28
percent. The largest portion of the increase in average earning assets from the
third quarter of 1999 occurred in the average balance of loans, which increased
ten percent, or $1.1 billion, due principally to internal loan growth, the
acquisition of Hartland Bank, in October 1999, the merger with MegaBank
Financial Corporation, in April 2000, and the purchase of Founders Bank of
Arizona (collectively the "Business Combinations") partially offset by the
securitization of approximately $970 million of loans and their transfer to
investment securities available for sale ($470 million in real estate mortgage
loans in March 2000 and $500 million in indirect auto loans in September 1999).
The 26 percent increase in interest expense during the quarter was a result of a
$811.7 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and a 87 basis
point increase in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The increase in
interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to increases in both federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and time
deposits, which were partially offset by a decrease in FHLB and other
borrowings.

      For the first nine months of 2000, net interest income increased five
percent, or $22.5 million, to $511.2 million consisting of a $120.4 million
increase in interest income and a $97.8 million increase in interest expense.
The increase in interest income was due to a seven percent increase in average
earning assets and a 45 basis points increase in the yield on earning assets to
8.14 percent from 7.69 percent. The average balance of loans for the first nine
months of 2000 increased $968 million over the comparable 1999 period due to the
factors discussed previously. An $816 million increase in average interest
bearing liabilities combined with a 65 basis point increase in the rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities resulted in a 22 percent increase in interest
expense.

      Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield obtained by
dividing the difference between the overall interest income on earning assets
and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by average earning assets.
The following discussion of net interest margin is presented on a taxable
equivalent basis.

      For the third quarter of 2000, the net interest margin was 3.87 percent
compared to 4.00 percent for the same period in 1999. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the net interest margin decreased seven basis points from
4.00 percent in the prior year to 3.93 percent. These changes resulted from the
changes in rates and volumes of earning assets and the corresponding funding
sources noted previously. The yield on interest earning assets for the third
quarter increased 57 basis points, including a 74 basis point increase in the
yield on loans, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 87
basis points. Similarly, a 62 basis point increase in the yield on loans
contributed to a 45 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets
for the first nine months of 2000 while the cost of interest bearing liabilities
increased 65 basis points.

      During the third quarter of 2000, the Company's net interest margin was
impacted by the Company's use of interest rate contracts, decreasing taxable
equivalent net interest margin by seven basis points as compared to a nine basis
point positive impact for the same period in 1999. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, the Company's use of interest rate contracts decreased the
Company's net interest margin by three basis points as compared to a nine basis
point positive impact for the first nine months of 1999.

      The following tables detail the components of the changes in net interest
income (on a tax-equivalent basis) by major category of interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities for the nine month and three month periods

thousands):

NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE

      During the third quarter of 2000, noninterest income increased $16.2
million, or 27 percent, to $75.7 million, due primarily to a $5.5 million
increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $4.9 million gain on the sale
of branches included in other noninterest income, and a $2.9 million increase in
credit card service charges and fees. Noninterest income for the first nine
months of 2000 increased $45.7 million, or 26 percent, to $221.7 million as a
result of a $17.6 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, the
gain on sale of branches of $16.7 million, and a $7.2 million increase in credit
card service charges and fees, which was partially offset by decreases in
trading account profits and commissions of $2.9 million and retail investment
sales of $2.6 million. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was
primarily due to the increase in deposits. The increase in credit card service
charges and fees was due to both increased merchant processing fees resulting
from an increase in the number of merchants as well as service charges and fees
from increased cardholders and receivables. The decreases in trading account
profits and commissions and retail investment sales were primarily the result of
unfavorable market conditions during the first nine months of 2000.

      Noninterest expense increased $8.5 million, or six percent, during the
third quarter and $33.2 million, or 9 percent, during the first nine months of
2000. The growth in each caption of noninterest expense, excluding professional
services, can be attributed primarily to the Business Combinations, discussed
earlier and the reinvestment of funds to support future growth. The decrease in
professional services, and reduced growth in the other captions, is attributed
to the Company's continued focus on efficiency. The successful focus on
efficiency is evidenced by a reduction in the cash basis efficiency ratio to
54.4% and 55.0% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to 55.8% for both the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999.

INCOME TAXES

      Income tax expense during the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000, increased by $4.6 million and $9.5 million, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 1999. The increases are primarily the result of increases in
pretax income.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

      The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, increased $2.2 million and $14.0 million from the same
periods in 1999, respectively. The allowance for loan losses, and the resulting
provision for loan losses, was based on changes in the size and character of the
loan portfolio, changes in nonperforming and past due loans, historical loan
loss experience, the existing risk of individual loans, concentrations of loans
to specific borrowers or industries and existing and prospective economic
conditions. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000, was $153.8
million. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding was
1.30 percent at September 30, 2000, down slightly from 1.33 percent December 31,
1999. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30,
2000 is adequate.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND PAST DUE LOANS

      Nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans
and other real estate owned, totaled $89.9 million at September 30, 2000,
compared to $82.1 million at December 31, 1999. Other real estate owned
increased $5.3 million during this period, primarily as a result of two credits.
The $2.6 million increase in nonaccrual loans was associated with three
unrelated commercial credits offset, in part, by continued efforts by management
to work-out nonperforming loans resulting in paydowns or a return to performing
status and the charge-off of a commercial credit in the second quarter of 2000.
The Company's exposure to Shared National Credits represented approximately 3.6
percent of total loans outstanding, of which less than $2 million was classified
as doubtful and approximately $7 million was classified as substandard at
September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of nonperforming loans was 199 percent as compared to 195 percent at
December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
nonperforming loans and accruing loans ninety days or more past due decreased
from 165 percent at December 31, 1999, to 153 percent at September 30, 2000.

      Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate
owned increased slightly to 0.76 percent at September 30, 2000, from 0.75
percent at December 31, 1999. The amount recorded in other repossessed assets at
September 30, 2000, was $1.1 million, down from $1.7 million at December 31,
1999. Loans past due ninety days or more but still accruing interest increased
from $13.3 million at December 31, 1999, to $23.0 million at September 30, 2000,
due in part to acquisition activity.

      The Company regularly monitors selected accruing loans for which general
economic conditions or changes within a particular industry could cause the
borrowers financial difficulties. This continuous monitoring of the loan
portfolio and the related identification of loans with a high degree of credit
risk are essential parts of the Company's credit management. Management
continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of nonperforming assets and
returning current nonperforming assets to an earning status.

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW

      Total assets at September 30, 2000, were $19.4 billion, up from $18.4
billion at December 31, 1999. The increase in assets was primarily due to
internal loan growth, and certain Business Combinations.

ASSETS AND FUNDING

      At September 30, 2000, earning assets totaled $17.8 billion, up from $16.9
billion at December 31, 1999. The mix of earning assets remained relatively
unchanged with total investment securities and loans comprising 33 percent and
67 percent, respectively, of total earning assets at September 30, 2000. The
largest component of the growth in earning assets was concentrated in net loans.
Net loans increased by $888 million due to internal loan growth and the Business
Combinations, which was partially offset by the securitization of approximately
$500 million in mortgage loans, during the first quarter, and the transfer of
the resulting securities to the investment securities available for sale
portfolio. Total liabilities increased by $803 million due to the increase in
total deposits of $641 million and increase in federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings
of $549 million, which was partially offset by a $452 million reduction in FHLB
and other borrowings. The deposit growth, which included a $242 million, or nine
percent, increase in noninterest bearing deposits, was due to strong internal
growth and the Business Combinations partially offset by the sale of
non-strategic branches. At September 30, 2000, the deposit to loan ratio was 116
percent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The following is a discussion of cash flows; these amounts are based on
cash flows which exclude changes resulting from merger activity. Net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $282 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. Net cash used by investing activities of $504 million
primarily consisted of a $920 million increase in loans outstanding offset by
proceeds from maturities of investment securities of $116 million, proceeds from
maturities of securities available for sale of $571 million, and proceeds from
sales of securities available for sale of $275 million. Net cash provided by
financing activities of $194 million primarily consisted of a $230 million
increase in deposits reduced by a $454 million net decrease in FHLB and other
borrowings.

      Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2000, was 7.16 percent of
total assets compared to 6.66 percent at December 31, 1999 primarily due to an
$120 million increase in retained earnings. The leverage ratio, defined as
period-end common equity and the Capital Securities adjusted for goodwill
divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for goodwill, was 6.74 percent at
September 30, 2000 and 6.52 percent at December 31, 1999. Similarly, the
Company's tangible leverage ratio, defined as period-end common equity and the
Capital Securities adjusted for all intangibles divided by average quarterly
assets adjusted for all intangibles, was 6.68 percent at September 30, 2000
compared to 6.45 percent at December 31, 1999.

      Tier I capital and total qualifying capital (Tier I capital plus Tier II
capital), as defined by regulatory agencies, as of September 30, 2000, exceeded
the target ratios for well capitalized of 6.00 percent and 10.00 percent,
respectively, under current regulations. The Tier I and total qualifying capital
ratios at September 30, 2000, were 8.38 percent and 11.55 percent, respectively,
compared to 8.19 percent and 11.65 percent at December 31, 1999. Tier II capital
includes supplemental capital components such as qualifying allowances for loan
losses, certain qualifying classes of preferred stock and qualifying
subordinated debt. Increased regulatory activity in the financial industry as a
whole will continue to impact the industry; however, management does not
anticipate any negative impact on the capital resources or operations of the
Company.

Total net interest income sensitivity                                                          2.92             (4.25)
</TABLE>


      As shown in the table above, from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000,
net interest income sensitivity improved in both the up-rate and down-rate
scenarios. Sensitivity improved in the up-rate scenario due to both an extension
in the maturity of time deposits and the employment of targeted up-rate
protection instruments on a portion of the wholesale liability portfolio. A
decrease in the size of the callable wholesale liability portfolio helped
improve rate sensitivity in both the up and down rate scenarios.
