                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Pro Forma Effect of Adoption of Accounting Standard in Fourth Quarter of 1997

The Company  will adopt  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,
"Earnings  Per Share" (SFAS 128)  effective  December 15, 1997.  This  statement
requires a change in the computation and  presentation of earnings per share. As
a result,  earnings  per  share for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 will be
computed  under the new standard  and prior  periods will be restated to reflect
the adoption of SFAS 128. The  following  represents  pro forma  restatement  of
earnings per share,  as if the statement was effective in the nine months ending
September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

Basic  earnings per share were computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted
earnings per common share for the three months and nine months ending  September
30,  1997 and 1996 were  determined  upon  assumption  that  options to purchase
common  shares  outstanding  were  exercised at the beginning of each period (or
time of issuance,  if later). In calculating earnings per share, the Company has
used the  treasury  stock  method,  whereby  the assumed  proceeds  were used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.





                                                                    Net                            Per Share

Fully  diluted  earnings  per share were not  reported  by the  Company in prior
periods.




2.  Business Combinations

On September 26, 1997,  the Company  acquired  certain  assets of Texas Commerce
Bank - San  Angelo  for  $16,800,000  in cash,  and the  assumption  of  certain
liabilities  (primarily  deposits).  The total  purchase price exceeded the fair
market  value of net assets  acquired by  approximately  $18,000,000,  which was
recorded by the Company as goodwill to be amortized using a straight-line method
over a period of 15 years.


3.  Other Short-term Borrowings

In September,  1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank to borrow
$6,200,000  at Libor  plus 1.0%  adjustable  each 90 days.  Interest  is payable
quarterly  beginning January 1, 1998 with principal due in twenty (20) quarterly
installments  beginning June 30, 1998. It is the Company's  intent to retire the
debt prior to September  30, 1998;  therefore,  the debt has been  classified as
other short-term borrowings.





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


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

For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, the Company's net income amounted
to $14.6 million,  or $1.74 per share. For the same period last year, net income
amounted to $13.4 million,  or $1.61 per share. Net income for the third quarter
1997 totaled $4.9 million, or $ .59 per share, as compared to $4.6 million, or $
 .55 per share, earned in the third quarter of 1996. Return on average assets and
return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  amounted
to 1.56 percent and 14.58 percent, respectively. The Company's return on average
assets and return on average  equity for the same period  last year  amounted to
1.51 percent and 14.79 percent, respectively.

Net interest  income for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,  was $1.9
million above the same period last year, with the increase attributed  primarily
to loan  growth.  The net interest  margin of 4.63  percent for 1997  reflects a
slight  decrease  from  last  year's  4.66  percent.  The  September  30,  1997,
year-to-date  provision for loan losses has totaled $620 thousand as compared to
$963 thousand for the same period last year.

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  amounted
to $13.3 million as compared to the prior year total of $11.8  million.  Through
September 30, 1997,  trust fees and service fees on deposit accounts are up $366
thousand  and  $1.2  million,  respectively.  Other  noninterest  income,  which
includes  merchant  credit card fees, real estate mortgage fees, ATM transaction
fees, and various  service-related fees, totaled $3.2 million and were virtually
unchanged from prior year amounts.

Noninterest  expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, totaled $30.0
million  as  compared  to $27.9  million  during  the same  period in 1996.  The
increase is attributable  primarily to higher  employee  costs,  advertising and
communication  expenses.  The Company's  key indicator of operating  efficiency,
noninterest  expense as a percent of net interest income and noninterest income,
amounted to 56.48  percent for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,  as
compared to 56.84 percent for the same period last year.


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

Consolidated  assets at September 30, 1997, totaled $1.46 billion as compared to
$1.26  billion at year-end  1996 and $1.20  billion at September  30,  1996.  On
September 26, 1997, the Company's  subsidiary  bank in San Angelo  completed the
purchase and  assumption of certain assets and  liabilities  from Texas Commerce
Bank-San Angelo. The transaction accounted for approximately $156 million of the
growth in total assets when compared to the prior  periods.  The balance  sheets
presented reflect normal recurring adjustments and accruals.

Loans at  September  30,  1997,  amounted  to $638  million as  compared to $573
million at December 31,  1996,  and $553  million at  September  30,  1996.  The
acquisition  transaction  described above added approximately $64 million to the
September  30,  1997,  loan total.  The net  unrealized  gain in the  investment
portfolio at September 30, 1997,  totaled $1.2  million.  At September 30, 1997,
the  Company  did not hold any CMOs  that  entail  higher  risks  than  standard
mortgage-backed securities.  Amortized cost of structured notes at September 30,
1997,  totaled $12.5 million as compared to an approximate market value of $12.3
million.  The completion of the purchase and assumption  transaction  with Texas
Commerce  Bank-San  Angelo resulted in the addition of $60 million in investment
securities.  Total deposits at September 30, 1997,  amounted to $1.30 billion as
compared to $1.12  billion at December 31, 1996,  and $1.06 billion at September
30, 1996. The deposits assumed from Texas Commerce  Bank-San Angelo  contributed
approximately $155 million to total deposits at the end of the third quarter.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 1997, totaled $3.1 million, or .47 percent
of loans and  foreclosed  assets,  and were down $437 thousand from the December
31, 1996, amount.  Foreclosed asset expense remains immaterial. At September 30,
1997, the allowance for loan losses  amounted to 335.3 percent of  nonperforming
assets, and included an addition of $1.2 million  established in connection with
the  previously  described  purchase  and  assumption  transaction  completed on
September 26, 1997.  Management is not aware of any material  classified credits
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  September  30,  1997,  the balance  sheet  reflects  adequate
liquidity  and the  parent  company  had $3.8  million  available  under its $10
million  line of credit.  Total  equity  capital  amounted to $140.3  million at
September 30, 1997, which was up from $131.1 million at year-end 1996 and $128.1
million at September  30, 1996.  The Company's  risk-based  capital and leverage
ratios at September 30, 1997, were 16.34 percent and 9.31 percent, respectively.
The third  quarter  cash  dividend of $ .25 per share  totaled  $2.1 million and
represented 42.2 percent of earnings.
