FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position and unaudited results of operations. All adjustments were of
a normal recurring nature. However, the unaudited results of operations for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001.
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, 2001 and 2000, 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, 2001 and 2000, were 12,312,900 and 12,468,353
shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in
computing basic earnings per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, were 12,312,706 and 12,468,118 shares, respectively. The weighted
average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common
share for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, were 12,363,974 and
12,502,503 shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding
used in computing diluted earnings per common share for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, were 12,366,251 and 12,497,990 shares,
respectively.
Note 3 - Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS 141 prospectively prohibits the pooling of interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142
requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed for
impairment. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption,
the Company will assign goodwill to the lowest reporting unit level and perform
an initial impairment test. Subsequently, an impairment test will be performed
annually or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that
would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. On
January 1, 2002, the Company will discontinue amortizing goodwill recorded prior
to June 30, 2001. Goodwill initially recorded subsequent to June 30, 2001 will
not be amortized. The Company is in the process of evaluating but has not yet
determined the financial statement impact of SFAS 142.
In July 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and
Documentation Issues" ("SAB 102"). This staff accounting bulletin expresses
certain of the SEC staff's views on the development, documentation, and
application of a systematic methodology that the staff normally would expect
registrants to prepare and maintain in support of their allowances for loan
losses. The Company believes it is substantially in compliance with the
provisions of SAB 102 and expects the guidance to have no impact on its
financial reporting process. Parallel guidance was issued by federal banking
agencies through the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council as
interagency guidance, "Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions."

Note 4 - Subsequent Events
In July 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of City
National Bancshares, Inc. ("City") and its subsidiary, City National Bank for
$16,500,000 in cash. The total purchase price exceeded the fair market value of
net assets acquired by approximately $7,800,000, which was recorded by the
Company as goodwill. Initially, no portion of the excess price was assigned to
intangible assets other than goodwill. The primary purpose of the acquisition
was to expand the Company's market share in areas with close proximity to
Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting
in goodwill include City's historically stable record of earnings, capable
management and its geographic location, which complements the Company's existing
service locations. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company liquidated the
stock of City and City National Bank is operating as a subsidiary of the
Company. The results of operations of City National Bank will be included in the
consolidated earnings of the Company commencing July 1, 2001.
The following is a condensed consolidated balance sheet disclosing estimated
fair value amounts assigned to the major asset and liability captions at the
acquisition date. These amounts are preliminary and subject to adjustment.

--------------
Total liabilities and shareholder's equity $ 99,735,097
==============
Goodwill recorded in the acquisition of City will be accounted for in accordance
with SFAS 142. Accordingly, goodwill will not be amortized, rather it will be
tested for impairment annually. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be
deductible for federal income tax purposes. The proforma impact of City is not
material to the Company's financial statements.

Operating Results
- -----------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's net income amounted to
$14.3 million, or $1.16 per basic share. For the same period last year, net
income amounted to $13.9 million, or $1.11 per basic share. Return on average
assets and return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
amounted to 1.64 percent and 14.48 percent, respectively, on an annualized
basis. The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity for
the same period last year amounted to 1.65 percent and 15.45 percent,
respectively, on an annualized basis. Net income for the second quarter 2001
totaled $7.3 million, or $0.59 per basic share, as compared to $7.1 million, or
$0.57 per basic share, earned in the second quarter of 2000.
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30,
2001, amounted to $35.8 million and was unchanged from the same period last
year. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the second quarter of
2001 amounted to $18.2 million, a slight increase over the $18.1 million
reported for the same period last year. The lack of growth in net interest
income for 2001 is attributable to a compressed net interest margin resulting
from the dramatic decline in interest rates during the first six months of the
year. For the first six months of 2001, the net interest margin was 4.51 percent
as compared to 4.69 percent for the same period last year. For the second
quarter 2001, the net interest margin was 4.51 percent, unchanged from the first
quarter 2000, but below the 4.74 percent reported in the second quarter last
year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the provision for loan losses amounted
to $864 thousand as compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. Net
charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2001, totaled $1.1 million, which
on an annualized basis amounted to .25 percent of average loans as compared to
.18 percent for the full year of 2000. At June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan
losses was 1.12 percent of loans and was considered by Management to be
adequate. For the second quarter of 2001, the provision for loan losses was $497
thousand as compared to $420 thousand for the second quarter in 2000.
Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001, amounted to
$13.8 million as compared to $12.7 million for the same period last year. The
increase was primarily a result of (i) an increase in trust fees of $251
thousand due primarily to growth in trust assets; (ii) an increase of $317
thousand in service fees on deposit accounts which reflects increased
transaction volumes; (iii) an increase of $274 thousand in real estate mortgage
fees resulting from the increased volume of mortgage loan transactions during
2001; and an increase of $216 thousand in ATM fees which reflects growth in the
cardholder base and transaction volumes. Noninterest income for the second
quarter 2001 amounted to $7.1 million as compared to $6.3 million for the same
period last year. The improvement resulted primarily from higher trust fees,
service fees on deposit accounts, and real estate mortgage fees which increased
$81 thousand, $200 thousand, and $233 thousand, respectively.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001, totaled $26.7
million, an increase of $800 thousand, or 3.1 percent, above the $25.9 million
reported for the same period last year. The higher level of noninterest expenses
was primarily a result of (i) a $246 thousand, or 1.8 percent, increase in
salaries and benefits; (ii) a $120 thousand increase in occupancy expense due
primarily to higher utilities expense; and (iii) a $150 thousand increase in
professional fees, primarily fees relating to implementation of information
systems enhancements. Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2001 amounted
to $13.5 million as compared to $12.9 million for the same period last year. For
the most part, the second quarter 2001 increase over the second quarter 2000 is
attributable to the same expense categories which are reflected in the
year-to-date increases previously highlighted. The Company's efficiency ratio
for the first six months of 2001 amounted to 53.83 percent as compared to 53.34
percent for the same period last year.

Balance Sheet Review
- --------------------
Total assets at June 30, 2001, amounted to $1.751 billion as compared to $1.754
billion at December 31, 2000, and $1.673 billion at June 30, 2000. The
consolidated balance sheets presented reflect normal recurring adjustments and
accruals.
Loans at June 30, 2001, totaled $863 million as compared to $859 million at
year-end 2000 and $812 million at June 30, 2000. As compared to year-end 2000
amounts, loans at June 30, 2001, reflect (i) a $14 million decrease in
commercial, financial and agricultural loans; (ii) a $14 million increase in
real estate loans; and (iii) a $4 million increase in loans to individuals.
Investment securities at June 30, 2001, totaled $661 million as compared to $654
million at year-end 2000 and $672 million at June 30, 2000. The net unrealized
gain in the investment portfolio at June 30, 2001, amounted to $25.2 million and
had an overall yield of 6.28 percent. At June 30, 2001, the Company did not hold
any structured notes or CMOs that entail higher risks than standard
mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits at June 30, 2001, amounted to $1.518
billion as compared to $1.520 billion at year-end 2000 and $1.460 billion at
June 30, 2000.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2001, totaled $3.2 million as compared to $4.1
million at December 31, 2000. The decrease resulted primarily from a $955
thousand decrease in nonaccrual loans. At .37 percent of loans plus foreclosed
assets, Management considers nonperforming assets to be at a manageable level
and is unaware of any material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming.
Liquidity and Capital
- ---------------------
The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows are presented on page 8 of
this report. At June 30, 2001, the parent company had no debt outstanding under
its $25 million line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution. Total
equity capital amounted to $206.6 million at June 30, 2001, which was up from
$196.1 million at year-end 2000 and $186.2 million at June 30, 2000. The
Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios at June 30, 2001, were 19.40
percent and 10.52 percent, respectively. The second quarter 2001 cash dividend
of $0.30 per share totaled $3.7 million and represented 50.7 percent of second
quarter earnings. On July 24, 2001, the Company declared a $0.30 per share cash
dividend payable October 1, 2001.
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. As of June 30, 2001, Management estimates that, over the
next 12 months, an upward shift of interest rates by 200 basis points would
result in an increase of projected net interest income of 4.3 percent and a
downward shift of interest rates by 200 basis points would result in a reduction
in projected net interest income of 7.0 percent. These are good faith estimates
and assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities
existing at June 30, 2001, will remain constant over the relevant 12 month
measurement period and that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous
and sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing
characteristics of specific assets or liabilities. Also, this analysis does not
contemplate any actions that we might undertake in response to changes in market
interest rates. In Management's belief, these estimates are not necessarily
indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest rate
increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and
liabilities reprice at different time frames and proportions to market interest
rate movements, various assumptions must be made based on historical
relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these
correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, our future results
would, in Management's belief, be different from the foregoing estimates, and
such results could be material.
