Other Events.

~~Filing~~As previously disclosed, on August 25, 2009, The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. (the Company) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of ~~Monthly~~Title ~~Operating~~11 ~~Report~~of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the ~~Period~~Middle ~~Ended~~District ~~July~~of Alabama, Northern Division (the Bankruptcy Court), Chapter 11 Case No. 3109-32303. The Company filed the Chapter 11 petition following the appointment by the Alabama State Banking Department on August 14, 2009 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver (the FDIC-Receiver) of Colonial Bank, the former principal operating subsidiary of the Company. On August 26, 2010, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Notice of Filing of Second Amendment to Schedule B – Personal Property (the Second Amendment), in which the Company replaced the First Amendment to Schedule B – Personal Property: Amendment to Attachment to Schedule B - Item 21 [Doc. No. 655] in its entirety and substituted in lieu thereof the Second Amendment to Schedule B - Personal Property: Amendment to Attachment to Schedule B - Item 21. The purpose of the Second Amendment is to provide updated information with respect to certain personal property assets of the Company and its entitlement to certain tax refunds.

OnAs ~~August 20,~~set ~~2010,~~forth ~~The~~in ~~Colonial~~the ~~BancGroup~~Second Amendment, ~~Inc. (~~the Company) ~~filed~~believes ~~its~~that ~~monthly~~it ~~operating~~may ~~report~~be entitled to federal income tax refunds as a result of losses for tax purposes during tax years 2008 and 2009. A dispute exists between the ~~period~~Company ~~July 1~~and the FDIC-Receiver regarding entitlement to any tax refunds that may be received from any federal, ~~2010~~state ~~through~~or local taxing authority. The issue ~~July 31,~~of ~~2010~~ownership ~~(the~~of ~~July~~tax ~~Monthly~~refunds ~~Operating~~is ~~Report)~~presently ~~with~~pending before the United States ~~Bankruptcy~~District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Absent the final adjudication of ownership or settlement of any disputes with the FDIC-Receiver, ~~Northern~~it ~~Division~~is not possible to state with certainty the amount of the Company’s entitlement to any tax refund received from any federal, state or local taxing authority. If any tax refund is received by the Company or the FDIC-Receiver, that refund is required to be deposited into a separate, segregated account in the Company’s name pursuant to the Stipulation and Order Regarding Establishment of Segregated Account for Tax-Related Payments [Doc. No. 621] (the “Tax Deposit Account”) pending resolution of the issue of ownership.

~~Before~~At ~~reading~~this time, the ~~July~~Company ~~Monthly~~is ~~Operating~~unable ~~Report~~to state with any degree of certainty the precise manner in which the Company will seek a refund of taxes from the Internal Revenue Service or the amount or timing of any refund, wethough ~~strongly~~the ~~urge~~Company ~~you~~intends to ~~read~~file its 2009 federal income tax return and make its 5-year carryback election no later than September 15, 2010. As noted above, all or substantially all of any tax refunds received by the ~~Summary~~Company ~~Cautionary~~are ~~Statement~~claimed ~~Regarding~~by the ~~July~~FDIC-Receiver. ~~Monthly~~Subject ~~Operating~~to the qualifications regarding the certainty of timing and receipt of refunds, and those set forth above and in the Second ~~Report~~Amendment: (a) with regard to the 2008 federal income tax return, as currently filed, the Company believes it is entitled to a tax refund of approximately $573,172 (as referenced below) and it may be entitled to an additional refund of up to $4,600,000; (b) with regard to its contemplated 2009 consolidated federal income tax return, which is due September 15, 2010, the Company believes that it is entitled to a so-called “worthless stock deduction” based upon events surrounding the commencement of the receivership of Colonial Bank, and that the anticipated, consolidated federal income tax filing for 2009 would support a request for tax refunds from the Internal Revenue Service in an amount up to $247,000,000; and (c) by order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on August 17, 2010 [Doc. No. 843], the Company expects to receive (and will deposit into the Tax Deposit Account) approximately $573,172 from the Internal Revenue Service resulting from the Company’s overpayment of federal income taxes for the 2008 tax year, though nothing in the Bankruptcy Court’s order or in the relief provided therein constitutes a finding for any purpose of the relative ownership of, or other rights with respect to, any tax refunds, tax-related assets or other tax attributes as between the Company and either Colonial Bank or the FDIC-Receiver. With regard to state taxes, the Company continues to believe that it is entitled to an additional tax refund from the State of Tennessee in the amount of approximately $73,552, but is indebted to the States of Idaho and Texas for income taxes in the approximate amounts of $450 and $120,850, respectively.

~~The~~A ~~July~~copy ~~Monthly~~of ~~Operating~~the ~~Report~~Second Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The Second Amendment also includes additional information related to, among other things, the Company and isits ~~incorporated~~affairs, ~~herein~~information byregarding ~~reference~~the Company’s personal property assets, state tax and insurance refunds, as well as a copy of the Company’s Intercorporate Tax Allocation Policy.
