                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        Impaired Loans 

The Company adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," as
of
January 1, 1995.  SFAS No. 114 requires that certain impaired
loans
be measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. 
As a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral
if the loan is collateral dependent.  When the measure of the
impaired loan is less that the recorded investment in the loan,
the
impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance.  On
collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted a policy
which
requires measurement of an impaired loan based on the fair value
of
the collateral.  Other loan impairments will be measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows or the loan's
observable market price.

The Company had previously measured the allowance for credit
losses
using methods similar to those prescribed in SFAS No. 114.  As a
result of adopting  these statements, no additional allowance for
loan losses was required as of January 1, 1995.  At September 30,
1995, all significant impaired loans have been determined to be
collateral dependent and have been measured utilizing the fair
value of the collateral.

As of September 30, 1995, the Company's recorded investment in
impaired loans and the related valuation allowance calculated
under
SFAS No. 114 are as follows:




                                       Recorded        Valuation  
                                      Investment       Allowance  
                                                         
Impaired loans-
 Valuation allowance required    $      3,063,885      $  865,855 
 No valuation allowance required           32,975             -
   
     Total impaired loans        $      3,096,860      $  865,855



This valuation allowance is included in the allowance for loan
losses on the balance sheet.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, was $2,546,696.  The
Company
had $1,985,298 in nonperforming assets at September 30, 1995, of
which $1,217,621 represented recorded investments in impaired
loans.

Interest payments received on impaired loans are recorded as
interest income unless collections of the remaining recorded
investment is doubtful at which time payments received are
recorded
as reductions of principal.  The Company recognized interest
income
on impaired loans of $355,951 during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995, of which $127,777 represented cash interest
payments received and recorded as interest income.  If interest
on
impaired loans had been recognized on a full accrual basis in the
period ended September 30, 1995, such income would have
approximated $525,901.

2.   Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 1995, is
presented below.  Management has evaluated the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses by estimating the probable losses in
various categories of the loan portfolio which are identified
below:


                                                           
  Allowance for loan losses provided for:
     Loans specifically evaluated as impaired       $    865,855 
     Unidentified impaired loans                       8,126,926 

     Total allowance for loan losses                 $ 8,992,781 



The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered
adequate to provide for estimated probable incurred losses
resulting from loans.  The allowance is reviewed periodically,
and
as losses are incurred and the amounts become estimable, they are
charged to operations in the periods that they become known.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:

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

Review of Operating Results

Net income for the third quarter 1995 totaled $4.0 million, or
$.80
per share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $.67 per share, for
the
same quarter last year.  Third quarter 1995 earnings benefited
from
an after-tax reduction in the cost of FDIC deposit insurance
amounting to $365 thousand, or $ .07 per share, as compared to
the
third quarter 1994.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1995,
the Company s earnings amounted to $12.4 million, or $2.47 per
share, compared to $9.6 million, or $1.92 per share, earned
during
the same period in 1994.  The 1995 year-to-date results include
net
after-tax nonrecurring gains of $1.3 million, or $.26 per share,
generated from the second quarter sale of foreclosed assets which
had been acquired in prior years through debt settlement
arrangements.  Excluding the nonrecurring benefit of asset sales,
return on average assets and return on average equity for the
nine
months ended September 30, 1995, amounted to 1.48% and 13.72%,
respectively.  For the same period in 1994, the Company reported
return on average assets of 1.28% and return on average equity of
12.91%.

Year-to-date net interest income was $2.0 million above the 1994
amount and resulted primarily from higher average loan volume. 
The
net interest margin for the year-to-date period ended September
30,
1995, has averaged 4.67%, as compared to 4.47%  for the same
period
last year.  Including nonrecurring gains of $2.0 million,
year-to-
date noninterest income for 1995 has amounted to $11.1 million as
compared to the 1994 total of $8.8 million.  Realized securities
gains and losses in 1995 and 1994 were not significant.  With the
benefit of a  $579 thousand  reduction in FDIC insurance expense,
1995 year-to-date total noninterest expense totaled $24.2 million
as compared to $24.5 million for the same period last year.

Balance Sheet Review

Consolidated assets at September 30, 1995, totaled $1.03 billion
as
compared to $988 million the prior year and $1.01 billion at
December 31, 1994.  The balance sheets presented reflect normal
recurring adjustments and accruals.  On July 31, 1995, the
Company s subsidiary bank in Sweetwater completed the acquisition
and subsequent conversion to a branch of the Citizens State Bank
of
Roby, Texas, which added approximately $20 million in total
assets. 
Since December 31, 1994, loans have increased $29.6 million, with
commercial loans and consumer showing increases of $10.4 million
and $16.1 million, respectively.  The Roby acquisition accounted
for $5 million of the total increase in loans.

 As  compared to year-end  1994,  investment securities have
declined
$10.8 million.  Total net unrealized  gains in the investment
portfolio at September 30, 1995, amounted to $1.9 million as
compared to net unrealized losses of $17.4  million at  December
31,

1994.  The improvement is attributed to maturities of below
market
rate securities and a decline in market rates during 1995.  At
September 30, 1995, the Company did not hold any CMOs that entail
higher risks than standard mortgage back securities.  Total
investment securities at September 30, 1995, included structured
notes with an amortized cost of  $19.3 million  and an
approximate
market value of  $18.5 million. 

September 30, 1995, total deposits amounted to $906 million as
compared to $901 million at December 31, 1994, and $878 million
at
September 30, 1994.  Maturing investment securities, reductions
in
cash and due from banks, and internally-generated capital
supplemented the modest deposit growth to fund the 1995 loan
growth
and allowed the Company to stay within a deposit rate structure
that has kept the cost of funds at or near expected rates.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1995, totaled $2.0 million,
down from $2.2 million at year-end 1994 and $2.9 million at
September 30, 1994.  The slight improvement from December 31,
1994,
is attributed primarily to lower nonaccrual loans.  The Company s
1995 year-to-date net cost of operation of other real estate has
totaled $54 thousand as compared to $21 thousand for the same
period last year with the increase attributed to write-downs.  At
September 30, 1995, the allowance for loan losses amounted to
452.9% of nonperforming assets.  Management is not aware of any
material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming
and considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company s consolidated statements of cash flows are presented
on page 7 in this report.  At September 30, 1995, the balance
sheet
reflects adequate liquidity, and the parent company has no funded
debt under its line of credit, which was increased to $10 million
during the second quarter.

Total equity capital amounted to $112.4 million at September 30,
1995, which was up from $103.9 million at December 31, 1994, and
$101.6 million at September 30, 1994.  The ratio of equity
capital
to assets at September 30, 1995, was 11.0%, as compared to 10.3%
at
year-end 1994 and 10.3% at September 30, 1994.  The Company s
risk-
based capital ratio of 21.64% at September 30, 1995, was well
above
the regulatory guidelines of 8%.  The 1995 third quarter dividend
of $ .31 per share totaled $1.5 million and represented 38.6% of
third quarter earnings.  Total dividends declared during 1995
have
amounted to $4.5 million, or 36.3% of 1995 year-to-date earnings.
