         Net interest income increased 6% and 1% for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period last year. This increase
is primarily the result of 16% and 12% annualized internal loan growth for the
year and quarter, respectively. However, loan growth was overshadowed by
increased margin compression. As with other banks, the Company's net interest
margin declined during the quarter. Net interest margin for the third quarter
2000 decreased to 3.65% compared to 3.85% for the second quarter 2000 and 3.98%
for the third quarter of 1999.

         Noninterest income increased 25% for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 and 17% year-to-date primarily from wealth management services income,
electronic banking fees and merchant/cardholder fees. Noninterest expenses
increased 4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 8% year-to-date.

         Asset quality remains excellent with non-performing assets at .56% of
loans and other real estate owned compared to .55% at December 31, 1999.
Annualized net charge-offs year-to-date remain low at .29% of loans for the
quarter, half of which were from a single large loan to an Alabama customer.
Annualized year to date net charge-offs of .21% of loans were equal to the .21%
experience for the full year 1999. Colonial continues to focus its efforts on
relationship-based lending to known customers in its geographical market areas.
Therefore, Colonial does not have any significant exposure to losses from
nationwide syndicated lending operations, indirect auto financing or sub-prime
lending.


                                       4

Loan provisions for the current quarter were $8,861,000 compared to $7,014,000
in 1999, exceeding net charge-offs by $2,471,000 and $3,678,000 in the
respective periods.

         "I believe Colonial is well positioned for growth and sufficiently
diversified to withstand an economic slowdown should one develop. We have the
ability to compete on an equal footing with our peers for loan, deposit and
fee-based income business," said Mr. Lowder. Excluding one to four family
residential loans, Colonial's loan portfolio is distributed throughout its
banking regions as follows: 42% in Alabama, 39% in Florida, 12% in Georgia, 4%
in Nevada and 3% in Texas. The company's retail deposit base is currently 45%
in Alabama, 39% in Florida, 10% in Georgia, 3% in Nevada and 3% in Texas.

         The Company's growth market strategy put in place in 1996 has realized
considerable success in the 2000 growth rates in various markets. The Company's
Alabama markets have experienced 6% annualized loan growth and 6% deposit
growth, while the Company's higher growth markets have contributed 25% loan
growth and 16% deposit growth during this year.

         In July 2000, the Company announced definitive plans to exit the
mortgage banking business. As of September 30, 2000 all sales of servicing
rights have been completed with the transfers of the loans expected to be
completed by year-end. The financial results for this line of business have
been separately reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented.
The following table reflects income from continuing operations and net income
which includes income or loss from discontinued operations as well as the
estimated loss from disposal of this line of business:

                  SUPPLEMENTAL AND FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

NET INTEREST MARGIN

As stated above, Colonial's net interest margin has declined from 3.98% in
the third quarter 1999 to a 3.85% in the second quarter of 2000 and to 3.65% in
the third quarter of 2000. Outstanding loans increased 16% or $1.25 billion from
September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.

The impact of the margin decline has substantially offset the favorable impact
of Colonial's loan growth on net income. The 33 basis point decline in the net
interest margin is mainly due to (1) Federal Reserve rate increases, (2) strong
loan growth creating an increased funding need resulting in pressure on funding
costs, and (3) the shifting of customer deposits from non-interest and low cost
interest-bearing accounts to higher yields due to the current rate environment.

FUTURE EARNINGS OUTLOOK

The Company's outlook for future earnings will continue to be impacted by
historically low margins due to the current interest rate environment. In light
of this, Colonial expects to see an additional five to ten basis point decline
in the net interest margin in the fourth quarter 2000 where it is expected to
remain throughout 2001.

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

Loans are expected to grow at a slower pace in 2001, with current projections in
the 10% to 12% range. Colonial's markets are still experiencing strong loan
demand, however a declining rate of growth is expected in consideration of the
potential for a slowdown in national economic growth.

The net impact of a compressed margin and lower loan growth would result in a
forecasted earnings per share of $.26 to $.27 for the fourth quarter 2000.
2001's earnings per share are estimated to be in the range of $1.12 to $1.18,
notwithstanding any currently unforeseen factors such as further short term
interest rate increases or increased credit erosion resulting in greater loan
losses.

Events which could positively impact this outlook include (1) greater loan
growth, (2) increased low cost deposit growth due to branch incentive programs,
promotions, etc. and (3) lower short term interest rates with an accompanying
positive yield curve.
