1.  Business Combinations

In January  1996,  the Company  acquired  Citizens  Equity  Corporation  and its
subsidiary bank,  Citizens  National Bank of Weatherford,  in a cash transaction
accounted  for as a  purchase.  The  operations  of Citizens  National  Bank are
included  only in the first quarter of 1996.  Also in January 1996,  the Company
acquired  Weatherford  National  Bancshares,   Inc.  and  its  subsidiary  bank,
Weatherford  National Bank,  through an exchange of stock.  The  transaction was
accounted  for as a  pooling-of-interests;  therefore,  prior  period  financial
statements have been restated to include Weatherford National  Bancshares,  Inc.
The following table shows the effect of Weatherford National Bancshares,  Inc.'s
operations for the period prior to combination:

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


Operating Results

Net income for the first  quarter  1996  totaled  $4.4  million,  an increase of
approximately  17% over the $3.8 million  earned in the first quarter last year.
The improved earnings resulted  primarily from increased net interest income. On
a per share basis, earnings amounted to $ .83 per share as compared to $ .71 per
share in 1995. Return on average assets and return on average equity amounted to
1.49%  and  14.77%,  respectively.  For the same  period  in 1995,  the  Company
reported  return on  average  assets of 1.48% and  return on  average  equity of
13.95%.

Net interest  income for the first  quarter 1996 was $1.5 million above the same
period last year and  resulted  primarily  from loan  growth.  The net  interest
margin for the first  quarter was 4.68%,  down slightly from 4.77% for the first
quarter 1995.  The  provision  for loan losses in the first quarter  amounted to
$518  thousand  as  compared to $20  thousand  for the same period in 1995.  The
increase is attributed  to  provisions  at  subsidiary  banks located in markets
where lack of rainfall has adversely affected agriculture.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter amounted to $3.7 million, up from
the $3.2  million  total for the first  quarter  1995.  The addition of Citizens
National Bank of Weatherford in 1996 accounted for  approximately  $200 thousand
of the  increase in total  noninterest  income.  Trust fees and service  fees on
deposit  accounts  increased $90 thousand and $293 thousand,  respectively.  Net
gain  from the sale of  foreclosed  assets  in the  first  quarter  1996 was $89
thousand above the first quarter last year. Higher merchant credit card fees and
real estate mortgage fees contributed to the 1996 increase in other  noninterest
income.

Noninterest  expense for the first  quarter 1996  amounted to $8.9  million,  an
increase of $480 thousand,  or 5.6% over the same period last year. Salaries and
employee  benefits  were $592  thousand,  or 13.9% above the first  quarter 1995
amount.  Excluding  employee  related  expense  at  Citizens  National  Bank  of
Weatherford,  total salaries and benefits were 5.1% above the first quarter 1995
which did not include the Citizens National Bank expense.  Lower FDIC assessment
rates  implemented in mid-year 1995 resulted in a $512 thousand decrease in FDIC
insurance  expense.  The  Company's  key  indicator  of  operating   efficiency,
noninterest  expense as a percent of net interest income and noninterest income,
was 57.69% for the first  quarter as compared to 59.30% for the first quarter in
1995.

Balance Sheet Review

Total  assets  of $1.19  billion  at March 31,  1996,  represent  a $63  million
increase  from  December 31, 1995,  and a $145 million  increase  from March 31,
1995. The balance sheets  presented  reflect normal  recurring  adjustments  and
accruals;  and as previously stated, prior periods have been restated to reflect
the acquisition of Weatherford National Bancshares, which was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.  Compared to year end 1995,  balance  sheet  growth in the
first quarter of 1996 is attributed to the addition of Citizens National Bank of
Weatherford,  which at March 31, 1996,  had total assets,  loans and deposits of
$90 million, $34 million, and $80 million, respectively.

Loans at March 31, 1996, amounted to $534 million as compared to $507 million at
December 31, 1995, and $452 million at March 31, 1995.  Investment securities at
March 31, 1996, amounted to $515 million as compared to $481 million at December
31, 1995,  and $472 million at March 31, 1995.  The net  unrealized  loss in the
investment portfolio at March 31, 1996, totaled $1.6 million as compared to $2.7
million at December  31, 1995.  At March 31, 1995,  the Company did not hold any
CMOs that entail higher risks than standard  mortgage-backed  securities.  Total
investment  securities  at March 31,  1996,  included  structured  notes with an
amortized  cost of  $17.1  million  and an  approximate  market  value  of $16.5
million. Total deposits at March 31, 1996, amounted to $1.05 billion as compared
to $998 million at December 31, 1995, and $923 million at March 31, 1995.


                                    10





Balance Sheet Review - continued

Nonperforming  assets at March 31, 1996, totaled $4.4 million,  or .82% of loans
and  foreclosed  assets,  and were up $2.3  million  from the December 31, 1995,
amount. The increase resulted from the addition of certain  agricultural-related
credits and the acquisition of Citizens National Bank of Weatherford,  which had
nonperforming  assets of $902 thousand at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996, the
allowance for loan losses amounted to 232.7% 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 of
this report. At March 31, 1996, the balance sheet reflects  adequate  liquidity,
and the parent  company has no funded debt under its $10 million line of credit.
Total equity capital  amounted to $122.7 million at March 31, 1996, which was up
from $120.0  million at year end 1995 and $111.2  million at March 31, 1995. The
Company's  risk-based capital and leverage ratios at March 31, 1996, were 20.10%
and 9.75%,  respectively.  The first  quarter  cash  dividend of $ .31 per share
totaled $1.6 million and represented  37.3% of earnings.  On April 23, 1996, the
Company  announced  a 25% stock  dividend  and  declared  a $ .28 per share cash
dividend.  The stock dividend will be issued June 3, 1996, and the cash dividend
is payable July 1, 1996.
