                  THE COLONIAL BANCGROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES/RESTATEMENT

         The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. ("BancGroup") and its subsidiaries have
not changed their accounting and reporting policies from those stated in the
1998 annual report. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in
BancGroup's 1998 annual report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 1998 financial
statements have been restated to give retroactive effect to the
pooling-of-interests business combinations with Commercial Bank of Nevada (CBN),
FirstBank, First Macon Bank & Trust, Prime Bank of Central Florida and InterWest
Bancorp (InterWest).

         In the opinion of BancGroup, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. All 1999 interim amounts are
subject to year-end audit, and the results of operations for the interim period
herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the year.

NOTE B - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

         The Company did not enter into any business combinations for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Business combinations in fiscal year 1998 resulted
in the restatement of March 31, 1998 financial statements. Presented below is
BancGroup's summary of operating information for the three months ended March
31, 1998, showing the effect of business combinations previously reported:

</TABLE>


NOTE C - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         BancGroup and its subsidiaries are from time to time defendants in
legal actions arising from normal business activities. Management does not
anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from litigation outstanding at
March 31, 1999, will have a materially adverse effect on BancGroup's financial
statements.

No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by requiring that all
derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair value.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and
Management is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 133 will have on
BancGroup's financial statements.

         On October 12, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 134 "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities after the Securitization
of Mortgage Loans Held For Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." This
statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15,
1998. The company is not currently involved in these activities and therefore
the adoption of SFAS No. 134 had no impact on BancGroup's financial statements.

NOTE E: STOCK SPLIT

         The March 31, 1998 information has been restated to reflect a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend
distributed on August 14, 1998.

NOTE H: SEGMENT INFORMATION

         Through its wholly owned subsidiary Colonial Bank and Colonial Bank's
wholly owned subsidiary Colonial Mortgage Company ("CMC"), BancGroup segments
its operations into two distinct lines of business: Commercial Banking and
Mortgage Banking. Colonial Bank provides general Commercial Banking services in
250 branches throughout 6 states. As both an originator and servicing agent of
mortgage loans, CMC provides services in 45 states.

         Operating results of the two segments reflect those which are
specifically identifiable or which are based on an internal allocation method.
The two segments are designed around BancGroup's organizational and management
structure and while the assignments and allocations have been consistently
applied for all periods presented, the results are not necessarily comparable to
similar information published by other financial institutions.

         The following table reflects the approximate amounts of consolidated
revenue, expense, and assets for the quarters ended March 31, for each segment:

</TABLE>


Assets:

         BancGroup's assets as restated have increased 21.3% since March 31,
1998. The Company's strategy has been to increase its asset size both internally
and through acquisition efforts. BancGroup has concentrated on expanding into
growth markets by merging with banks that have strong local management.
BancGroup has been most successful with this strategy in Florida. With the
mergers of CBN in Las Vegas, Nevada, FirstBank and TB&T in Dallas, Texas and
InterWest in Reno, Nevada, BancGroup has expanded into growth markets outside
the Southeast. Asset growth of $183 million during the first three months of
1999 has resulted from internal loan growth.

Securities:

         Investment securities and securities available for sale have increased
$320 million (27%) from March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999. In 1998, BancGroup
entered into reverse repurchase arrangements with Morgan Stanley, Salomon
Brothers and First Boston under which it purchased mortgage backed securities
totaling approximately $449 million of which approximately $328 million was
outstanding at March 31, 1999. These securities are collateral for $318 million
in debt of which $309 million was outstanding at March 31, 1999.

Loans and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale:

         Loans, net of unearned income, have increased $1.2 billion (18.8%) and
$218 million (3.1%) from March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
This increase is primarily due to 13% (annualized) and 18% internal loan
growth from December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively.

         Mortgage loans held for sale are funded on a short-term basis (less
than 90 days) while they are being packaged for sale in the secondary market by
Colonial Mortgage Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Colonial Bank. Loans
originated amount to approximately $1.2 billion and $0.8 billion and sales
thereof amounted to approximately $1.2 billion and $0.6 billion during the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in originations
in 1999 was primarily due to a decrease in interest rates which resulted in an
increase in loan originations.

         The majority of the $218 million in loan growth for 1999 has been in
loans collateralized by commercial real estate which increased approximately
$194 million from December 31, 1998. The increase of $1.2 billion from March 31,
1998 consisted primarily of Commercial loans ($392,000), Commercial real estate
loans ($451,000) and construction loans ($319,000). The growth in 1999 as well
as over the previous year was spread throughout the Company's Alabama, Georgia
and Florida markets. Residential real estate loans, decreased $54 million and
$98 million from December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively. This
decline in residential real estate is primarily attributable to the refinancing
of these predominately adjustable rate (ARM) loans to fixed rate loans. The
Company generally sells fixed rate loans in the secondary markets resulting in
net reductions in outstanding balances. These loans are concentrated in various
areas in Alabama, the metropolitan Atlanta market in Georgia as well as the
Company's markets in Florida.

         Allocations of the allowance for possible loan losses are made on an
individual loan basis for all identified potential problem loans with a
percentage allocation for the remaining portfolio. The allocations of the total
allowance represent an approximation of the reserves for each category of loans
based on management's evaluation of risk within each loan type.

Asset quality as measured by nonperforming assets remains strong at 0.61% of net
loans and other real estate. Nonperforming assets have increased $1.6 million
from December 31, 1998. The increase in nonperforming assets primarily resulted
from a $1.0 million increase in nonperforming loans and a $694,000 increase in
other real estate and repossessions. Management continuously monitors and
evaluates recoverability of problem assets and adjusts loan loss reserves
accordingly. Loan loss reserve is 1.18% of loans at March 31, 1999 and at
December 31, 1998 compared to 1.21% at March 31, 1998.

         Management, through its loan officers, internal loan review staff, and
external examinations by regulatory agencies and independent auditors has
identified approximately $148 million of potential problem loans not included
above. The status of these loans is reviewed at least quarterly by loan officers
and loan administration and annually by independent auditors
and regulatory agencies. In connection with such reviews, collateral values are
updated where considered necessary. If collateral values are judged insufficient
and 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 March 31, 1999, substantially all of these loans are current
with their existing repayment terms. 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 doubts as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. The recorded investment in
impaired loans at March 31, 1999 was $24,359,000 and these loans had a
corresponding valuation allowance of $7,036,000.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS:

         During the first quarter of 1999, long-term interest rates increased
slightly. This increase resulted in an increase in the market value of mortgage
servicing rights (MSRs) as well as a loss on the mortgage servicing hedges. As
a result, BancGroup deferred $26.3 million of hedge losses and reduced the MSR
valuation allowance by $5.6 million. The hedge positions are designated to
specific portions of the servicing asset and are monitored daily and adjusted
as necessary for changes in the market and projected interest rate movement.
The objective of this strategy is to achieve a high degree of correlation
between changes in value associated with the hedged asset (the servicing
portfolio and the related servicing rights) and the servicing hedge. The
servicing hedge is designed to rise in value when interest rates fall and
decline in value when interest rates rise, in contrast to the expected
movements in value of the servicing asset, therefore reducing earnings
volatility caused by interest rate movements.

         These risk-management activities do not eliminate interest-rate risk
in the MSRs. Treasury rates, to which the MSR hedges  are indexed, may not move
in tandem with mortgage interest rates. As mortgage interest rates change,
actual prepayments may not respond exactly as anticipated. Other pricing
factors, such as the volatility of the market yields, may affect the value of
the option hedges without similarly impacting the MSRs.

LIQUIDITY:

         The maintenance of adequate liquidity position and the constant
monitoring of rate sensitivity are principal components of BancGroup's
asset/liability management strategy. BancGroup's governing policy provides for
daily and longer term monitoring of both sources and uses of funds to properly
maintain the cash position. The policy also establishes the criteria for
monitoring the short and long term impact of interest rate fluctuations on these
funds. To assist in funding loan growth, BancGroup has credit facilities at the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). FHLB provides availability of up to
$2.5 billion on either a short or long term basis excluding funds available
through the Federal Funds line. At March 31, 1999, the FHLB unused credit
facility was $1,249 million of which $618 million was available based on current
collateral. This credit facility is collateralized by the Company's residential
real estate loans. This source of credit reduces BancGroup's dependency on
deposits as a source of liquidity resulting in a loan to deposit ratio of 97% at
March 31, 1999 and at 95% at December 31, 1998. BancGroup has a brokered
Certificate of Deposit (CD) program in conjunction with Merrill Lynch, Paine
Webber, Dean Witter and Oppenheimer Capital to offer CD's in increments of
$1,000 to $99,000 to out of market customers at competitive rates ranging from
4.85% to 5.60% maturing in 6 to 24 month periods. At March 31, 1999 $323 million
is outstanding under this program. BancGroup also has a brokered money market
program with Merrill Lynch. At March 31, 1999 $149 million is outstanding under
this program at an average rate of 4.73%. Funds are transferred daily to meet
short-term funding fluctuations. As discussed previously, BancGroup has received
funds under reverse repurchase arrangements with Morgan Stanley, Salomon
Brothers and First Boston. At March 31, 1999 there was $309 million in
outstanding debt under this agreement which is collateralized by mortgage-backed
securities. On March 16, 1999, the Company's subsidiary, Colonial Bank issued
$100 million in 8% Subordinated Notes due March 15, 2009. These notes are not
subject to redemption prior to maturity and pay interest semiannually on March
15 and September 15.

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         Management continuously monitors the Company's capital adequacy and
potential for future growth. The primary measurement for this evaluation for a
bank holding company is its tier one leverage ratio. Tier one capital for
BancGroup at March 31, 1999 consists of $660 million of equity and $70 million
in trust preferred securities less $99 million of intangibles and disallowed
mortgage servicing rights providing a 6.15% leverage ratio at March 31, 1999.
The ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets at March 31, 1999 was 6.20% as
compared to 6.08% at December 31, 1998. Management believes that capital levels
are sufficient to support future internally generated growth and fund the
quarterly dividend rates which are currently $0.095 per share each quarter.

         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, merger
or acquisition opportunities.

Year 2000 readiness disclosure:

         Most computer software programs and processing systems, including those
used by BancGroup and its subsidiaries in their operations, were not originally
designed to accommodate entries beyond the year 1999 in date fields. Failure to
address the anticipated consequences of this design deficiency could have
material adverse effects on the business and operations of any business,
including BancGroup, that relies on computers and associated technologies.

         BancGroup has aggressively addressed the challenges that Year 2000
presents to its operations. Management has completed its remediation efforts and
has tested the core business applications which are customer related. BancGroup
completed testing with its mission critical service providers during the first
quarter of 1999. As a final check to ensure that BancGroup will be ready for the
new millennium, management plans to perform additional Year 2000 testing during
the fourth quarter of 1999. Therefore management does not anticipate significant
disruptions in its operations as a result of entering the new millennium.


<PAGE>   15

         Year 2000 compliant and tested mission critical applications are
currently being used in production at Colonial Bank. Colonial Mortgage Company
is currently using its Year 2000 compliant and tested servicing system and is
currently implementing its Year 2000 compliant and tested origination system.

         BancGroup expects to have Year 2000 contingency plans substantially
completed by June 30, 1999. The plans are designed to minimize Year 2000
inconveniences, if any, to our customers. Colonial expects to operate as usual
on January 3, 2000.

         Throughout 1998 and during 1999, BancGroup has been assessing Year 2000
readiness of vendors, business partners and other counter-parties focusing on
those considered critical to BancGroup operations. BancGroup began assessing the
Year 2000 readiness of loan customers, depositors and other funds providers
during the third quarter of 1998. BancGroup will continue to monitor and
evaluate the Year 2000 readiness of third parties whose Year 2000 noncompliance
could have a material adverse impact on the operations of BancGroup. BancGroup
is taking appropriate measures including development of contingency plans to
mitigate the risk to the company of Year 2000 noncompliance by third parties.
However, the impact of Year 2000 noncompliance by all third parties with which
BancGroup transacts business cannot be assessed at this time.

         BancGroup has a customer awareness program in place designed to keep
our customers informed of our Year 2000 progress. The awareness program is
expected to minimize customer anxiety as we approach the new millennium.
However, management recognizes that a customer awareness program will not
completely eliminate such customer concerns. BancGroup is working closely with
the Federal Reserve to provide increased liquidity in our branches to meet the
anticipated increase in the cash needs of our customers.

         BancGroup expects to spend approximately $14 million on the Year 2000
project. To date, BancGroup has incurred approximately $11.7 million of those
expenditures, $0.3 million during the first quarter of 1999, $11 million in 1998
and $0.4 million in 1997. Year 2000 project costs of approximately $144,000 were
expensed during the first quarter of 1999 while $4.6 million and $432,000 were
expensed during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Although presently not anticipated, regulators require that management
disclose what could happen if BancGroup's systems fail as a result of entering
the new millennium. A possible worst case scenario could include interruption in
the normal servicing of customers as well as the funds management of the
Company. Management is currently developing a contingency plan to minimize the
impact of a failure on our customers and/or shareholders.

         Management's evaluation of Year 2000 compliance and technological
upgrades is an on-going process involving continual evaluation. Unanticipated
problems could develop and alternative solutions may be available that could
cause current solutions to be more difficult or costly than anticipated.

(1) Increases (decreases) are attributable 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. Changes not solely attributable to
    a change in rate or volume are allocated proportionately relative to the
    absolute value of the total change of rate and volume.
(2) Interest earned on obligations of state and political subdivisions is

    actual interest earned times 145%. The taxable equivalent adjustment has

    purposes, related to certain tax-free assets. Dividends earned 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 interest or dividends earned divided by average volume.

NET INTEREST INCOME:

         Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $9.5 million to
$91.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $82.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The net yield on interest earning assets decreased
from 4.39% to 3.92% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999,
respectively.

         As reflected on the previous tables, the increase in net interest
income for the three months was primarily attributable to loan growth which was
partially offset by lower loan rates. During the first quarter of 1998 the prime
rate was 8.50% where it remained until September 1998 when it decreased to 8.25%
and continued to decrease to 7.75% in November 1998 where it remained through
March 31, 1999. The decline in interest rates is the primary reason for the
decline in the interest margin.

LOAN LOSS PROVISION:

         The provision for possible loan losses for the first three months of
1999 was $6,019,000 compared to $3,951,000 for the same period in 1998. Asset
quality remains good. The current allowance for possible loan losses provides a
245% coverage of nonperforming loans compared to 245% at December 31, 1998 and
247% at March 31, 1998. See management's discussion on loan quality and the
allowance for possible loan losses presented in the Financial Condition section
of this report.

NONINTEREST INCOME:

         Noninterest income increased $6.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily
due to increases in mortgage servicing and origination fees of $1.9 million,
fees on deposit accounts of $.7 million, gains on sales of loans of $1.6
million, $.4 million in security and annuity commissions, $ .3 million in fees
for international banking activities and $1.0 million in a gain on the sale of 5
in-store branches in Southwest Florida.

         Colonial Mortgage provides additional sources of non-interest income to
BancGroup through fees from its servicing portfolio as well as loan originations
from its 4 divisional offices. Colonial Mortgage purchases, originates and
services conventional, government, and jumbo mortgage products in 44 states and
the District of Columbia. Colonial Mortgage had non-interest income of $18.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $14.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.

         Mortgage servicing fees increased due to a $3.9 billion net increase in
the servicing portfolio to $15.9 billion at March 31, 1999 from $12.1 billion at
March 31, 1998. Gains on sales of loans increased due to additional loan
production resulting from increased refinancing activity.

         BancGroup is continuing to expand its services through increased
efforts in private banking and additional products including asset management
services, trust services and sales of mutual funds and annuities. These services
contributed $1.2 million to non-interest income for the three months ended March
31, 1999 compared to $.7 million for the same period last year. In addition,
BancGroup established an international banking unit in mid 1998 to provide and
service the needs of customers involved in international activities.
International banking activities resulted in $300,000 in non-interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES:

         BancGroup's net overhead (total noninterest expense less noninterest
income, excluding security gains) was $40.4 million and $45.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Noninterest expenses increased $1.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Colonial Mortgage is the
main contributor to the increase in noninterest expense. The scheduled
amortization of mortgage servicing rights increased $5.8 million while the
Company recovered $5.6 million of the MSR valuation allowance. Additionally,
Colonial Mortgage recognized a related $4.6 million trading security loss. Other
significant changes include a $1.0 million increase in salaries and benefits, a
$1.2 million increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expense. These
increases are offset by decreases in acquisition and year 2000 related expenses.
Lower long term interest rates have caused higher prepayments of mortgages
serviced for others, resulting in fluctuation in the mortgage servicing right
asset value. BancGroup has entered into certain hedges as part of its strategy
to offset portions of the loss of value of the servicing asset that may result
from declines in mortgage rates. The increase in salary and benefit expenses
related to normal wage increases. Increases in occupancy and furniture and
equipment expenses are the result of normal business activities. Refer to
further discussion of acquisition related expenses below.

         BancGroup's efficiency ratio, was 59.65% and 66.43% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company should improve
efficiencies upon the conversion of the newly acquired banks. Conversions will
allow the consolidation of back shop operational areas into BancGroup's existing
loan and deposit operations, accounting and data processing departments.

ACQUISITION EXPENSE AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

         In the first quarter of 1998, BancGroup reorganized executive
management of its Florida regions which resulted in a restructuring charge of
$2.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company developed a plan
to:

         -     Close certain unprofitable branches
         -     Sell five supermarket branches
         -     Relocate and upgrade two other branches
         -     Move the headquarters of the South Florida Region to downtown
Miami and to consolidate the trust department into the South Florida
headquarters to better serve its customer base.

         As a result of these actions BancGroup recognized a fourth quarter
restructuring charge of $6.3 million.

         The following is a summary of the activity related to these
restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 1999:

         BancGroup discontinued operations in fourteen supermarket branches in
May 1999. The Company bought out the service contracts and lease commitments of
those branches. All equipment will be redeployed to other branch locations. By
closing these branches, the Company expects to save approximately $2 million per
year in operating expenses. The South Florida region plans to consolidate two
branches into a new location in 1999. At March 31, 1999, $2.3 million in
restructuring accruals remained for activities expected to occur in the second
and third quarters of 1999.

         During the fourth quarter of 1998, management shifted the Company's
focus from bank acquisition activity to streamlining operations and emphasizing
profitable business units. As a result of this change in focus, the Company
recognized acquisition related expenses of $3.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and $0.5 million for the first quarter of 1999. These expenses
related primarily to transaction costs such as legal and accounting fees and
incremental charges related to the integration of acquired banks, such as system
conversion (including contract buy-outs and write-offs of equipment) and
employee severance.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

         BancGroup's provision for income taxes is based on an approximately
36.8% and 36.2%, estimated annual effective tax rate for the years 1999 and
1998, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $16,389,000 and $11,810,000, respectively.
