                FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

    In the opinion of management,  the consolidated financial statements reflect
    all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
    position  and  results  of  operations.  All  adjustments  were of a  normal
    recurring  nature.  However,  the results of operations for the three months
    and six months  ended June 30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
    results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

    Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available
    to common  shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
    during the period.  In computing  diluted  earnings per common share for the
    quarters  ended  June 30,  2000  and  1999,  the  Company  assumes  that all
    outstanding  options to purchase  common  stock have been  exercised  at the
    beginning of the year (or time of issuance,  if later).  The dilutive effect
    of the outstanding options is reflected by application of the treasury stock
    method,  whereby the proceeds from the  exercised  options are assumed to be
    used to  purchase  common  stock at the  average  market  price  during  the
    respective  period.  The weighted average common shares  outstanding used in
    computing  basic  earnings per common share for the quarters  ended June 30,
    2000 and 1999,  were  9,974,683  and  9,956,156  shares,  respectively.  The
    weighted average common shares  outstanding used in computing basic earnings
    per  share for the  six-month  periods  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999,  was
    9,974,495 and 9,956,156  shares,  respectively.  The weighted average common
    shares  outstanding used in computing  diluted earnings per common share for
    the quarters  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  were  10,002,002  and 9,997,221
    shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in
    computing  diluted earnings per common share for the six-month periods ended
    June 30, 2000 and 1999, was 9,998,392 and 9,998,669 shares, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Operating Results
- -----------------

For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the  Company's  net income  amounted to
$13.9  million,  or $1.39 per basic  share.  For the same period last year,  net
income  amounted to $12.6 million,  or $1.27 per basic share.  Return on average
assets  and return on average  equity  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,
amounted to 1.65 percent and 15.45 percent,  respectively.  The Company's return
on average  assets and return on average  equity for the same  period  last year
amounted to 1.53  percent and 14.85  percent,  respectively.  Net income for the
second quarter 2000 totaled $7.1 million,  or $0.71 per basic share, as compared
to $6.5 million, or $0.65 per basic share, earned in the second quarter of 1999.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent  basis for the six months ended June 30,
2000, amounted to $35.8 million, up $1.9 million from the same period last year.
The improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from growth in average
loans  coupled with an increase in interest  rates.  For the first six months of
2000,  the  Company's  net interest  margin was 4.69 percent as compared to 4.52
percent for the same period in 1999.  Net  interest  income on a  tax-equivalent
basis for the second quarter of 2000 amounted to $18.1  million,  an increase of
$1.0 million over the second quarter of 1999.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the provision for loan losses  amounted
to $1.2 million as compared to $778 thousand for the same period last year.  Net
charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2000, totaled $510 thousand, which
on an annualized  basis  amounted to .13 percent of average loans as compared to
 .27 percent for the full year of 1999. At June 30, 2000,  the allowance for loan
losses  was 1.18  percent  of  loans  and was  considered  by  Management  to be
adequate. For the second quarter of 2000, the provision for loan losses was $420
thousand as compared to $308 thousand for the second quarter in 1999.

Total  noninterest  income for the six months ended June 30,  2000,  amounted to
$12.7  million as compared to $12.4  million for the same period last year.  The
increase  resulted  primarily from a $243 thousand,  or 9.7 percent  increase in
trust fees and a $521  thousand,  or 8.1  percent  increase  in service  fees on
deposit accounts.  The improvement in these areas is attributed to growth in the
number of accounts and volume of transactions.  For the first half of 2000, real
estate  mortgage fees amounted to $496 thousand as compared to $712 thousand for
the same  period  last  year.  The  decrease  represents  a lower  volume of new
mortgage and refinancing  transactions which can be attributable to the increase
in interest rates during 2000. Other noninterest income for the six months ended
June 30,  2000,  totaled  $2.6  million as compared to $2.7 million for the same
period last year. The decrease is attributable primarily to a $225 thousand gain
on sale of bank premises which was recorded in 1999.  Noninterest income for the
second  quarter of 2000 totaled $6.3 million as compared to $6.2 million for the
same period last year. For the second quarter, trust fees were up $135 thousand,
or 10.7 percent, and service fees on deposit accounts were up $256 thousand,  or
7.8 percent, over the second quarter 1999 amounts. Real estate mortgage fees for
the second  quarter  amounted to $264  thousand as compared to $347 thousand for
the second quarter in 1999.  Other  noninterest  income totaled $1.1 million for
the second quarter of 2000 as compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of
1999.  The  decrease  resulted   primarily  from  a  decrease  in  miscellaneous
recoveries  and  previously  mentioned  gain on sale of bank premises  which was
recorded in the second quarter of 1999.

Noninterest  expense  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000,  totaled  $25.9
million, $200 thousand below the $26.1 million reported for the same period last
year.  A modest  increase in employee  expense  coupled with  reductions  in net
occupancy expense,  printing and supplies expense,  and item processing fees has
contributed to the reduced level of noninterest  expense  through the first half
of 2000. The Company's  efficiency  ratio for the first half of 2000 improved to
53.34  percent  from 56.36  percent for the same  period last year.  Noninterest
expense  for  the  second  quarter  of 2000  totaled  $12.9  million,  virtually
unchanged from the second quarter 1999 amount.

                                      -10-




Balance Sheet Review
- --------------------

Total assets at June 30, 2000,  amounted to $1.673 billion as compared to $1.723
billion at December 31, 1999,  and $1.664 billion at June 30, 1999. The decrease
in total assets is  attributable  primarily to lower total  deposits at June 30,
2000,  as compared to year-end  1999 and at the end of the second  quarter  last
year. The balance sheets  presented  reflect normal  recurring  adjustments  and
accruals.

Investment securities at June 30, 2000, totaled $672 million as compared to $656
million at December  31, 1999.  The  increase was funded  through a reduction in
cash and cash equivalents.  The net unrealized loss in the portfolio at June 30,
2000,  amounted to $15.2  million.  With an overall yield of 6.32  percent,  the
investment  portfolio  continues  to  provide  a  positive  contribution  to the
Company's  earnings.  At June 30,  2000,  the Company did not hold any CMOs that
entail higher risks than standard mortgage-backed securities.

Loans at June 30,  2000,  totaled  $812  million as compared to $797  million at
year-end 1999. As compared to year-end 1999, loans at June 30, 2000, reflect (i)
a $2.0 million  increase in commercial  loans;  (ii) an $8.3 million decrease in
agricultural  loans;  (iii) a $22.5 million  increase in real estate loans;  and
(iv) due to a $5.4 million  reduction  in indirect  auto loans,  consumer  loans
decreased overall by $1.2 million.

Total  deposits at June 30, 2000,  totaled  $1.460 billion as compared to $1.525
billion at year-end  1999.  The ratio of  noninterest-bearing  deposits to total
deposits at June 30, 2000,  amounted to 22.3 percent and was unchanged  from the
year-end 1999 ratio.  The ratio of loans to deposits at June 30, 2000,  amounted
to 55.6 percent, up slightly from 52.3 percent at year-end 1999. The decrease in
total deposits since December 31, 1999,  reflects the Company's  ability to fund
loan growth through  reduction in cash and cash  equivalents  and avoid matching
highly competitive pricing of interest-bearing deposits.

Liquidity and Capital
- ---------------------

The Company's  consolidated  statements of cash flows are presented on page 8 of
this report.  At June 30, 2000, the parent company had no debt outstanding under
its $25 million line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution. Total
equity capital  amounted to $186.2  million at June 30, 2000,  which was up from
$178.7 million at year-end 1999. The Company's  risk-based  capital and leverage
ratios at June 30, 2000, were 19.08 percent and 10.22 percent, respectively. The
second  quarter 2000 cash  dividend of $0.33 per share  totaled $3.3 million and
represented  46.2 percent of second  quarter  earnings.  On July 25,  2000,  the
Company declared a $0.33 per share cash dividend payable October 2, 2000.

Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------

Interest  rate  risk  results  when  the  maturity  or  repricing  intervals  of
interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities  are different.  The
Company's  exposure  to  interest  rate risk is managed  primarily  through  the
Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of  interest-earning  assets
and  interest-bearing  liabilities  which  generate  favorable  earnings,  while
limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. The
Company uses no off-balance-sheet  financial instruments to manage interest rate
risk.  Each  subsidiary  bank has an  asset/liability  committee  which monitors
interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies. Interest-sensitivity
gap and simulation  analysis are among the ways that the subsidiary  banks track
interest rate risk.  Since year-end 1999,  there has been no material  change in
the Company's interest rate risk.

                                      -11-




Item 3.           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management  considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk for the
Company.  See  "Item 2 -  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" for disclosure  regarding this market risk.
The Company has  procedures to monitor  market risk and has  determined  that no
