DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE Portions of Registrant's Proxy Statement dated March 19, 1999 filed pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Summit Bancshares, Inc., are incorporated by reference into Part III. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS. THE CORPORATION. Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a corporation - --------------- incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas in 1979, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). The Corporation maintains its principal office at 1300 Summit Avenue, Suite 604, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The Corporation's principal activity is the ownership and management of its subsidiaries. The Corporation owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of two national banking associations, Summit National Bank and Summit Community Bank, N.A. (the "Subsidiary Banks") and a nonbank subsidiary, Summit Bancservices, Inc., all located in Fort Worth, Texas. In January 1997 Camp Bowie National Bank at the time, a wholly-owned subsidiary, changed its name to Summit Community Bank, N.A. and in March 1997 Alta Mesa National Bank merged with Summit Community Bank, N.A. Alta Mesa National Bank was a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. At December 31, 1998 the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $532,764,000, consolidated total loans of $305,833,000, consolidated total deposits of $465,500,000 and consolidated total shareholders' equity of $46,235,000. The Corporation provides advice and services to the Subsidiary Banks and coordinates their activities in the areas of financial accounting controls and reports, internal audit programs, regulatory compliance, financial planning and employee benefit programs. However, each Subsidiary Bank operates under the day-to-day management of its own officers and directors. The Corporation's major source of income is dividends received from the Subsidiary Banks which are restricted as discussed below. Dividend payments by the Subsidiary Banks are determined on an individual basis, generally in relation to each Subsidiary Bank's earnings, deposits and capital. The Corporation's business is neither seasonal in nature nor in any manner related to or dependent upon patents, licenses, franchises or concessions and the Corporation has not spent material amounts on research activities. THE SUBSIDIARY BANKS. The services offered by the Subsidiary Banks are - -------------------- generally those offered by commercial banks of comparable size in their respective areas. Certain of the principle services offered by the Subsidiary Banks are described below. COMMERCIAL BANKING. The Subsidiary Banks provide general commercial banking services for corporate and other business clients principally located in Tarrant County, Texas. Loans are made for a wide variety of purposes, including interim construction and mortgage financing on real estate and financing of equipment and inventories. CONSUMER BANKING. The Subsidiary Banks provide a full range of consumer banking services, including interest and non-interest-bearing checking accounts, various savings programs, installment and real estate loans, money transfers, on-site ATM facilities and safe deposit facilities. SECURITIES SERVICES. Summit Bancshares, Inc. through an agreement with LM Financial Partners, Inc. offers investment brokerage services. LM Financial Partners, Inc., a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. is a registered broker-dealer and member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Investment executives are available at each of the Subsidiary Banks and can provide information about tax-free municipals, government securities, stocks, mutual funds, or annuities. -2- Certain information with respect to each Subsidiary Bank as of February 28, 1999 is set forth in the following table. Interbank balances have not been eliminated in the table as such balances are not material to total deposits or total assets.

There is significant competition among bank holding companies in - ----------- Tarrant County, Texas and the Corporation believes that such competition among such bank holding companies will continue in the future. Additionally, the Subsidiary Banks encounter intense competition in their commercial banking businesses, primarily from other banks represented in their respective market areas, many of which have far greater assets and financial resources. The Subsidiary Banks also encounter intense competition in their commercial banking businesses from savings and loan associations, credit unions, factors, insurance companies, commercial and captive finance companies and certain other types of financial institutions located in its own and in other major metropolitan areas in the United States, many of which are larger in terms of capital, resources and personnel. EMPLOYEES. As of December 31, 1998 the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks - --------- collectively had a total of 163 full-time employees and 11 part-time employees. REGULATION AND SUPERVISION The Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks are subject to federal and state law applicable to businesses generally and also to federal and state laws specifically applicable to financial institutions and financial institution holding companies. The laws and regulations governing financial institutions and their parent holding companies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the deposit insurance funds of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection of shareholders or creditors. Those laws give regulatory authorities broad enforcement powers over banks and bank holding companies including the power to require remedial actions and to impose substantial fines and other penalties for violation of laws or regulations. The following description of statutory and regulatory provisions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes and regulations. Any change in applicable statutes or regulations or the policies of regulatory authorities may have a material effect on the business, operations, and prospects of the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks. The Corporation is unable to predict the nature or extent of the affect on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic controls, or changes in federal or state statutes or regulations or regulatory policies may have in the future. THE CORPORATION GENERAL. The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the BHC Act and as such is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). Under federal law bank holding companies are subject to restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage and to wide range of supervisory requirements and actions, including periodic examinations and reporting requirements and regulatory enforcement actions for any violations of laws, regulations, or policies. The FRB has authority to order a bank holding company to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound practices, to assess civil money penalties against companies and affiliated individuals who -3- violate the BHC Act or FRB regulations or orders, and to order termination by a bank holding company of any activities in which it is engaged which are not permitted activities for a bank holding company. The Corporation is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. As a result, the Corporation's right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon liquidation or reorganization of the subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of depositors and creditors of the subsidiary. In the event of a liquidation or reorganization of a Subsidiary Bank, the claims of depositors and creditors of the Bank will have priority over the rights of the Corporation and its shareholders and creditors. SCOPE OF PERMISSIBLE ACTIVITIES. The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited exceptions, from directly or indirectly engaging in, or from directly or indirectly acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of any company engaged in, any activities other than banking or managing or controlling banks or certain other subsidiaries or other activities determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities which have been determined by FRB regulation to be closely related to banking are making or servicing loans, performing certain data processing services, acting as an investment or financial advisor to certain investment trusts or investment companies, and providing certain securities brokerage services. In approving or disapproving a bank holding company's acquiring a company engaged in bank-related activities or engaging itself in bank-related activities, the FRB considers a number of factors and weighs the expected benefits to the public (such as greater convenience and increased competition or gains in efficiency) against possible adverse effects (such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.) In considering these factors, the FRB may differentiate between a bank holding company's commencing activities itself and its acquiring a going concern already engaged in those activities. SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS. Bank holding companies may not engage in unsafe or unsound banking practices. For example, with some exceptions for well- capitalized and well-managed companies, FRB regulations require a bank holding company to give the FRB prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding twelve- month period, is equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The FRB may disapprove a redemption or repurchase if it finds the transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation. A holding company may not impair the financial soundness of a subsidiary bank by causing it to make funds available to nonbanking subsidiaries or their customers when such a transaction would not be prudent. In some circumstances, the FRB could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The policy of the FRB is generally that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organizations future needs and financial condition. This policy provides that a bank holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the company's ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries. The FRB may exercise various administrative remedies, including issuing orders requiring parent bank holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiaries to refrain from actions believed by the FRB to constitute a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a subsidiary bank. SOURCE OF STRENGTH TO SUBSIDIARY BANKS. FRB regulations require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and commit resources to their support. This concept has become known as the "source of strength" doctrine. The FRB takes the position that a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity necessary to obtain resources for assisting its subsidiary banks if required. A bank holding company which fails to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks may be considered by the FRB to be engaged in an unsafe and unsound banking practice and in violation of FRB regulations. Further, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") requires a bank holding company to guarantee, up to certain limits, an undercapitalized subsidiary bank's compliance with any capital restoration plan approved by the bank's primary federal regulatory authority. See Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries below. ENFORCEMENT. The Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") expanded the FRB's authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiary which are unsafe or unsound banking practices or constitute violations of laws or regulations. Bank regulatory authorities may issue cease and desist orders which may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct conditions resulting from such a violation or practice, including -4- restitution, reimbursement, or indemnification or guaranty against loss. Under FIRREA, a bank holding company or financial institution may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, or take other appropriate action as determined by the ordering agency. FIRREA increased the amount of civil money penalties that the FRB and other regulatory agencies may assess for certain activities conducted on a knowing and reckless basis, if those activities cause a substantial loss to a depository institution. The penalties may reach as much as $1,000,000 per day. FIRREA also expanded the scope of individuals and entities against whom such penalties may be assessed. FIRREA contains a "cross-guarantee" provision that makes commonly controlled insured depository institutions liable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") for any losses incurred, or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, in connection with the failure of an affiliated insured depository institution. ANTI-TYING RESTRICTIONS. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extensions of credit, to certain other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates. REPORTING AND EXAMINATION. The Corporation is required to file quarterly and annual reports with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (the "Federal Reserve Bank") and provide such additional information as the Federal Reserve Bank may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve Bank may examine the Corporation and any nonbank subsidiary and charge the Corporation for the cost of such an examination. The Corporation is also subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under state and federal securities laws. CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS. The FRB monitors the capital adequacy of bank holding companies using a combination of risk-based guidelines and leverage ratios to evaluate their capital adequacy. Under the risk-based capital guidelines, asset categories are assigned different risk weights based generally on perceived credit risk. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a "risk-weighted" asset base. Certain off-balance sheet items are added to the risk-weighted asset base by converting them to balance sheet components. For the purposes of the guidelines, a bank holding company's qualifying total capital is defined as the sum of its "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" capital elements, with the "Tier 2" element being limited to an amount not exceeding 100% of the "Tier 1" element. "Tier 1" capital includes, with certain limitations, common stockholders' equity, qualifying perpetual noncumulative preferred stock, and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. "Tier 2" capital includes, with some limitations, certain other preferred stock as well as qualifying debt instruments and all or part of the allowance for possible loan losses. The FRB guidelines require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be in the form of "Tier 1" capital). At December 31, 1998, the Corporation's ratios of "Tier 1" and qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets were 13.8% and 15.1%, respectively. At such date, both ratios exceeded regulatory minimums. The FRB also uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is defined as a company's "Tier 1" capital divided by its adjusted average total assets. The FRB guidelines require a minimum ratio of 3.0% "Tier 1" capital to adjusted average total assets for bank holding companies having the highest regulatory rating. For all other bank holding companies, the minimum ratio of "Tier 1" capital to total assets is 4.0%, and companies with supervisory, financial, or managerial weaknesses, as well as those anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels. The Corporation's leverage ratio at December 31, 1998, was 8.5% which exceeded the regulatory minimum. A bank holding company which fails to meet the applicable capital standards will be at a disadvantage in several respects. For example, FRB policy discourages the payment of dividends by a bank holding company if payment would adversely affect capital adequacy or borrowing by a company with inadequate capital for the purpose of paying dividends. In some circumstances, a failure to meet the capital guidelines may also result in enforcement action by the FRB. IMPOSITION OF LIABILITY FOR UNDERCAPITALIZED SUBSIDIARIES. FDICIA requires bank regulators to take "prompt corrective action" to resolve insured depository institutions problems. In the event an institution becomes "undercapitalized," it must submit a capital restoration plan to its federal regulatory agency. The regulatory agency will not accept the plan unless it meets certain criteria. One requirement for acceptance of a capital restoration plan is that each company "having control of" the undercapitalized institution must guarantee, up to certain limits, the subsidiary's compliance with the capital restoration plan. -5- The Corporation has control of the Subsidiary Banks for purpose of this statute. See below The Subsidiary Banks - Capital Adequacy Requirements. Under FDICIA, the aggregate liability of all companies controlling a particular institution is generally limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution's assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the institution into compliance with application capital standards. FDICIA grants greater powers to regulatory authorities in situations where an institution becomes "significantly" or "critically" undercapitalized or fails to submit a timely and acceptable capital restoration plan or to implement an accepted capital restoration plan. A bank holding company controlling such an institution may be required to obtain prior FRB approval of proposed dividends or consent to a merger or to divest the troubled institution or other affiliates. In the event of a proceeding for a bank holding company under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the trustee (or the debtor-in-possession) will, by law, be deemed to have assumed, and required immediately to cure any deficit under, any commitment made by the company to a federal regulatory agency to maintain the capital of an insured depository institution, and any claim based upon such a commitment will have a priority of payment. ACQUISITION BY BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company, with some limited exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company, without the prior approval of the FRB. In approving bank or bank holding company acquisitions by bank holding companies, the FRB is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various competitive factors. The Attorney General of the United States may, within 30 days after approval of an acquisition by the FRB, bring an action challenging such acquisition under the federal antitrust laws, in which case the effectiveness of such approval is stayed pending a final ruling by the courts. In some circumstances, any such action must be brought in less than 30 days after FRB approval. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking Act") permits adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies to acquire banks located in other states, regardless of whether the acquisition would be prohibited by applicable state law. An out-of- state bank holding company seeking to acquire ownership or control of a state or national bank located in Texas or any bank holding company owning or controlling a state bank or a national bank located in Texas must obtain the prior approval of both the FRB and the Banking Commissioner of Texas. Under the Interstate Banking Act, a bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates may not complete an acquisition which would cause it to control more than 10% of total deposits in insured depository institutions nationwide or to control 30% or more of total deposits in insured depository institutions in the home state of the bank sought to be acquired. However, state deposit concentration caps adopted by various states, such as Texas, which limit control of in-state insured deposits to a greater extent than the Interstate Banking Act will be given effect. Texas has adopted a deposit concentration cap of 20% of in-state insured deposits; therefore, the Texas state deposit concentration cap will lower the otherwise applicable 30% federal deposit concentration cap. State law may establish a minimum age (not to exceed five years) of local banks subject to interstate acquisition. The minimum age established by Texas is five years. ACQUISITION OF BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company unless the FRB has been given prior notice and has not disapproved the acquisition. Acquisition of 25% or more of any class of voting shares of a bank holding company constitutes acquisition of "control." The FRB presumes that the acquisition of 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting stock of a bank holding company constitutes acquisition of control if the company has securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as does the Corporation, or if no other person will own or control a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. That presumption can be rebutted by showing the acquisition will not in fact result in control. Any company would be required to obtain the approval of the FRB under the BHC Act before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror that is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling influence" over the Corporation. THE SUBSIDIARY BANKS GENERAL. The Subsidiary Banks are national banking associations organized under the National Bank Act, as amended, (the "National Bank Act") and are subject to regulatory supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). Pursuant to such regulation, the Banks are subject to various restrictions and supervisory requirements, and potentially to enforcement actions. The OCC regularly examines national banks with respect to, among other matters, capital -6- adequacy, reserves, loan portfolio, investments and management practices. The Subsidiary Banks must also furnish quarterly and annual reports to the OCC, and the OCC may exercise cease and desist and other enforcement powers over the Subsidiary Banks if their actions represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law. Since the deposits of the Subsidiary Banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the "FDIC"), the Bank is also subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC. Because the FRB regulates the Corporation, the FRB has supervisory authority which affects the Subsidiary Banks. Banks are subject to the credit policies of governmental authorities which affect the national supply of bank credit. Such policies influence overall growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits and may affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant effect on the results of operations of commercial banks in the past and may be expected to continue to do so in the future. SCOPE OF PERMISSIBLE ACTIVITIES. The National Bank Act provides the rights, privileges, and powers of national banks and defines the activities in which national banks may engage. Permitted activities for a national bank include making, arranging, purchasing, or selling loans, purchasing, holding, and conveying real estate under certain conditions, deal in investment securities in certain circumstances, and, generally, engaging in the "business of banking" and activities that are "incidental" to banking. Activities deemed "incidental" to the business of banking include the borrowing and lending of money, receiving deposits (including deposits of public funds), holding or selling stock or other property acquired in connection with security on a loan, discounting and negotiating evidences of debt, acting as guarantor (if the bank has a "substantial interest in the performance of the transaction"), issuing letters of credit to or on behalf of its customers, operating a safe deposit business, providing check guarantee plans, issuing credit cards, operating a loan production office, selling loans under repurchase agreements, selling money orders at offices other than bank branches, providing consulting services to banks, and verifying and collecting checks. BRANCHING. National banks located in Texas may establish a branch anywhere in Texas with prior OCC approval. For this purpose, a national bank is located in Texas if it has either its main office or a branch in Texas. In acting on a branch application, the OCC considers a number of factors, including financial history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of management, needs of the community and consistency with corporate powers. The Interstate Banking Act, which expanded the authority of bank holding companies to engage in interstate bank acquisitions regardless of state law prohibitions, also allows banks to merge across state lines and thereafter have interstate branches by continuing to operate, as a main office or a branch, any office of any bank involved in the merger. States are, however, permitted to "opt-out" of interstate mergers by enacting laws meeting certain requirements. The Texas Legislature "opted out" of the interstate branching provisions during its 1995 Session. However, the Texas "opt-out" legislation, which by its terms will expire in September of 1999, has not been effective to prohibit interstate mergers involving banks in Texas. In granting an application for an interstate merger involving a national bank located in Texas, the OCC concluded that the Texas "opt-out" legislation was ineffective because it did not meet the requirement of the Interstate Banking Act. The Texas Banking Commissioner has also determined that the "opt-out" legislation is ineffective under federal law to prohibit interstate mergers and has, therefore, accepted applications for interstate merger and branching transaction for state-chartered institutions. As a consequence, the Texas "opt-out" legislation does not have the effect of prohibiting interstate merger and branching transactions otherwise allowed under federal law. The Interstate Banking Act further allows a bank to open new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations if the laws of that state permit a de novo branch of an out-of-state bank. A "de novo branch" is a branch office of a bank originally established as a branch and not one becoming a branch by acquisition or merger. Texas has elected not to permit de novo branching. The Texas legislation prohibiting de novo branching expires in September of 1999. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. The Subsidiary Banks are subject to federal statutes which limit transactions with the Corporation and other affiliates. One set of restrictions is found in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, which limits loans to, purchases of assets from, and investments in "affiliates" of the Subsidiary Banks. The term "affiliates" would include the Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. Section 23A imposes limits on the amount of such transactions and also requires certain levels of collateral for such loans. In addition, Section 23A limits the amount of loans or extensions of credit to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Another set of restrictions is found in Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Among the other things, Section 23B requires that certain transactions between a Subsidiary Bank and its affiliates must be on terms substantially the same, or at least as -7- favorable to the Subsidiary Bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies. In the absence of such comparable transactions, any transaction between a Subsidiary Bank and an affiliate must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit underwriting standards and procedures, that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Each Subsidiary Bank is also subject to certain prohibitions against advertising that suggests that the Subsidiary Bank is responsible for the obligations of its affiliates. The regulations and restriction on transactions with affiliates may limit the Corporation's ability to obtain funds from its Subsidiary Banks for its cash needs, including funds for payment of dividends and operating expenses. Under the Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation O, there are restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests (collectively referred to herein as "insiders") which apply to all banks with deposits insured by the FDIC and their subsidiaries and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such loans can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the bank's total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the OCC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions. INTEREST RATE LIMITS AND LENDING REGULATIONS. The Subsidiary Banks are subject to various state and federal statutes relating to the extension of credit and the making of loans. The maximum legal rate of interest that the Subsidiary Banks may charge on a loan depends on a variety of factors such as the type of borrower, purpose of the loan, amount of the loan and date the loan is made. Texas statutes establish maximum legal rates of interest for various lending situations. Penalties are provided by law for charging interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate. Loans made by banks located in Texas are subject to numerous other federal and state laws and regulations, including Truth-in-Lending Act, the Texas Credit Title, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. These laws provide remedies for the borrower and penalties for the lender for failure of the lender to comply with such laws. The scope and requirements of these laws and regulations have expanded in recent years, and claims by borrowers under these laws and regulations may increase. RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY BANK DIVIDENDS. Substantially all of the Corporation's cash revenues is derived from dividends paid by the Subsidiary Banks. Dividends payable by the Subsidiary Banks are restricted under the National Bank Act. See "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Dividends." The Subsidiary Banks' ability to pay dividends is further restricted by the requirement that they maintain adequate levels of capital in accordance with capital adequacy guidelines promulgated from time to time by the OCC. Moreover, the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA and implementing regulations prohibit a bank from paying dividends or management fees if, following the payment, the bank would be in any of the three capital categories for undercapitalized institutions. See "Capital Adequacy Requirements" below. EXAMINATIONS. The OCC periodically examines and evaluates national banks. Based upon such evaluations, the OCC may require revaluation of certain assets of a bank and require the bank to establish specific reserves to allow for the difference between the regulatory-determined value and the book value of such assets. The OCC is authorized to assess the institution an annual fee based on, among other things, the costs of conducting the examinations. CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS. OCC regulations require national banks to maintain minimum risk-based capital ratios such as to those for bank holding companies discussed above. The applicable regulations establish five capital levels, ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." A national bank is considered "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and if it is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A national bank is considered "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk- based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0% or greater if the institution was given the highest rating in its most recent report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines) and the bank does not meet the definition of a well capitalized bank. A national bank is considered "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk- based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% if the institution received the highest rating in its most recent report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines). A "significantly undercapitalized" institution is one which has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that -8- is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%. A "critically undercapitalized" institution is one which has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. At December 31, 1998, each of the Subsidiary Banks was well capitalized. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Capital Resources." CORRECTIVE MEASURES FOR CAPITAL DEFICIENCIES. FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to capital- deficient institutions with the overall goal of reducing losses to the depository insurance fund. FDICIA contains broad restrictions on certain activities of undercapitalized institutions involving asset growth, acquisitions, branch establishment and expansion into new lines of business. With certain exceptions, national banks will be prohibited from making capital distributions, including dividends, or paying management fees to a holding company if the payment of such distributions or fees will cause them to become undercapitalized. Furthermore, undercapitalized national banks will be required to file capital restoration plans with the OCC. Such a plan will not be accepted unless, among other things, the banking institution's holding company guarantees the plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository institution's holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy. Undercapitalized national banks also will be subject to restrictions on growth, acquisitions, branching, and engaging in new lines of business unless they have an approved capital plan that permits otherwise. The OCC also may, among other things, require an undercapitalized national bank to issue shares or obligations, which could be voting stock, to recapitalize the institution or, under certain circumstances, to divest itself of any subsidiary. The OCC and other Federal banking agencies are authorized by FDICIA to take various enforcement actions against any significantly undercapitalized national bank and any national bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the OCC. These powers include, among other things, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth or requiring asset reduction, restricting interest rates paid, requiring FRB prior approval of any capital distributions by any bank holding company which controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. Significantly and critically undercapitalized national banks may be subject to more extensive control and supervision. Such an institution may be prohibited from, among other things, entering into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending its charter or bylaws, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, critically undercapitalized institutions generally will be prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt. Within 90 days of a national bank's becoming critically undercapitalized, the OCC must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with respect to the prospect for the institution's continued viability. DEPOSIT INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS. The FDIC is required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to assess all banks in order to fund adequately the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") so as to resolve any insured bank that is declared insolvent by its primary regulator. FDICIA required the FDIC to establish a risk-based deposit insurance premium schedule. The risk-based assessment system is used to calculate deposit insurance assessments made on BIF member banks to maintain the designated reserves for the fund. In addition, the FDIC can impose special assessments to repay borrowings from the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Financing Bank, and BIF member banks. Under the risk-based system, banks are assessed insurance premiums according to how much risk they are deemed to present to the BIF. Such premiums currently range from zero percent of insured deposits to 0.27% of insured deposits. Banks with higher levels of capital and involving a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or involving a higher degree of supervisory concern. Each of the Subsidiary Banks are currently being assessed at the lowest rate of zero percent. Under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act"), beginning in 1997 banks insured under the BIF were required to pay a part of the interest on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") in the late 1980s to recapitalize the defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Before the Funds Act, FICO payments were made only by depository institutions which were members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). FICO assessment rates for the second semi-annual assessment period of 1998 were set by FDIC at .0122% annually for BIF members and .0610% annually for SAIF members. These rates may be adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases for the BIF and the SAIF. By law, the FICO assessment rate on BIF members must be one-fifth the rate on SAIF members until the two insurance funds are merged or until January 1, 2000, whichever occurs first. -9- INTERNAL OPERATING REQUIREMENTS. FDICIA requires financial institutions with over $500 million in assets to file an annual report with the FDIC and its primary federal regulator and any appropriate state banking agency within 90 days after the end of its fiscal year. The report must contain financial statements audited by an independent public accountant; a statement of management's responsibilities for (1) preparing the financial statements and for maintaining internal controls; (2) for financial reporting and complying with designated safety and soundness laws and regulations; and (3) a separate assessment by management of the effectiveness of the internal controls and the institutions' internal controls for financial reporting. The independent public accountant also must report separately on the institution's internal controls and certain of the statements made by management in the report. The requirement of an annual audit of the Subsidiary Banks can be satisfied by an annual audit of the Corporation. COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") and the regulations issued by the OCC to implement that law are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks. These regulations also provide for regulatory assessment of a bank's record in meeting the needs of its service area when considering applications to establish branches, merger applications and applications to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. FIRREA requires federal banking agencies to make public a rating of a bank's performance under the CRA. In the case of a bank holding company, the CRA performance record of its subsidiary banks is reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company. An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction. In 1995, the bank regulatory agencies adopted final regulations implementing the CRA. These regulations affect extensive changes to existing procedures for determining compliance with the CRA and the full effect of these new regulations cannot be determined at this time. EXPANDING ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY. One of the major effects of FDICIA was the increased ability of banking regulators to monitor the activities of banks and their holding companies. The Federal banking agencies have extensive authority to police unsafe or unsound practices and violations of applicable laws and regulations by depository institutions and their holding companies. For example, the FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any institution which it determines has engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. The agencies can also assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist or removal orders, seek injunctions, and publicly disclose such actions. CHANGING REGULATORY STRUCTURE. Legislative and regulatory proposals regarding changes in banking, regulations of banks, thrifts and other financial institutions, are being considered by the executive branch of the federal government, Congress, and various state governments, including Texas. Certain of these proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of banks and the financial service industry. The Corporation cannot predict accurately whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, how these proposals will affect the Corporation or the Subsidiary Banks. EFFECT ON ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the FRB, have a significant effect on the operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means available to the FRB to affect the money supply are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, control of borrowings at the "discount window," changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits and against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates and the placing of limits on interest rates that member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. FRB monetary policies have materially affected the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The Corporation cannot predict the nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the business and earnings of the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The principal offices of the Corporation are located at 1300 Summit Avenue, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The Corporation and Summit National Bank, a subsidiary, lease space at this address from an unrelated third-party through leases that expire February 15, 2000 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

MARKET INFORMATION. Since May 3, 1993 the Corporation's Common Stock has been - ------------------ traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "SBIT." The following table sets forth the high and low stock prices as quoted for the Corporation's Common Stock for the periods indicated: Bid ---------------- High Low ------- ------- 1998 Fiscal Year: - ---------------- First Quarter $23.75 $19.00 Second Quarter 25.25 20.00 Third Quarter 21.75 14.25 Fourth Quarter 20.00 14.00 1997 Fiscal Year: - ---------------- First Quarter $13.75 $11.25 Second Quarter 13.75 12.63 Third Quarter 17.25 13.50 Fourth Quarter 21.50 17.13 This data has been restated to reflect a two-for-one stock split effected on December 9, 1997. On March 17, 1999 the closing price reported for the Common Stock was $17.75. The foregoing quotations reflect prices quoted by market makers of the Corporation's Common Stock, without retail markup, markdown or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. Prior to May 3, 1993 there was no established public trading market for the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation. Accordingly, there exists no published information with respect to market prices before that date. From time to time, however, moderate numbers of shares of Common Stock were transferred on the books of the Corporation. SHAREHOLDERS. At the close of business on March 17, 1999 there were 634 - ------------ shareholders of record of Common Stock of the Corporation. The number of beneficial shareholders is unknown to the Corporation at this time. -13- DIVIDENDS. The Corporation has paid regular cash dividends on its common stock - --------- on a quarterly basis since the beginning of 1993. The following table sets forth, for each quarter since the beginning of 1997, the quarterly dividends paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock for the indicated periods. Data has been restated to reflect a two-for one stock split effective on December 9, 1997. 1998 Dividends Per Share ---------------- ------------------- First Quarter $0.060 Second Quarter 0.060 Third Quarter 0.060 Fourth Quarter 0.060 1997 ---------------- First Quarter $0.045 Second Quarter 0.045 Third Quarter 0.045 Fourth Quarter 0.045 Although the Board of Directors intends to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future, there can be no assurance that cash dividends will continue to the paid in the future or, if paid, that such cash dividends will be comparable to cash dividends previously paid by the Corporation, since future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings of the Corporation, the financial condition of the Corporation, the Corporation's cash needs, general business conditions and the amount of dividends paid to the Corporation by the Subsidiary Banks. The principal source of the Corporation's cash revenues is dividends received from the Subsidiary Banks. Pursuant to the National Bank Act, no national bank may pay dividends from its paid-in capital. All dividends must be paid out of current or retained net profits, after deducting reserves for losses and bad debts. The National Bank Act further restricts the payment of dividends out of net profits by prohibiting a national bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock or, if the surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one- tenth of a bank's net profits for the preceding half year in the case of quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or the preceding two half-year periods in the case of annual dividends, are transferred to the surplus fund. The approval of the OCC is required prior to the payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding years. Under FDICIA, a Subsidiary Bank may not pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the Subsidiary Bank would be undercapitalized. In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Subsidiary Banks and the Corporation are not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends. -14- ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Corporation analyzes the major elements of the Corporation's consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. PERFORMANCE SUMMARY. Net income for 1998 was $8.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 15.7%, over the $7.0 million recorded for 1997. On a weighted average share basis, net income for 1998 was $1.20 per diluted share as compared to $1.04 per share for 1997, an increase of 15.4%. The major contribution to the improved earnings during 1998 was a 14.1% increase in net interest income. Also contributing to the increase in net income was a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $115,000 and an increase of $585,000 in non-interest income. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase in non-interest expenses of $1,855,000. Further explanations of these changes are set forth below. Continuing to reflect the strong and growing economy in the Corporation's market area, loans increased 10.8% over the previous year-end to $306 million at December 31, 1998. Deposits experienced even more dramatic growth, particularly in the fourth quarter, increasing 15.9% over the same period to $466 million. Shareholders' equity was $46 million at year-end, an increase of 12.5%. Net income for 1997 was $7.0 million compared to net income of $5.9 million for 1996, an increase of 18.5%. The increase in earnings for 1997 was also attributable to a significant increase net interest income. The following table shows selected key performance ratios over the last three (3) years: 1998 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ Return on Average Assets 1.70% 1.70% 1.60% Return on Average Shareholders' Equity 18.62 18.49 18.50 Shareholders' Equity to Assets - Average 9.11 9.21 8.66 Dividend Payout Ratio - Per Diluted Share 20.00 17.31 15.55 The ratio, return on assets, is calculated by dividing net income by average total assets for the year. The return on equity ratio is calculated by dividing net income by average shareholders' equity for the year. The equity to assets ratio is calculated by dividing average shareholders' equity by average total assets for the year. The dividend payout is determined by dividing the dividend paid per share by the diluted earnings per share. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid for the funds supporting those assets. The largest category of earning assets consists of loans to businesses and individuals. The second largest is investment securities. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation's earnings. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and liabilities supporting those assets, affect net interest income. Interest rates primarily are determined by national and international market trends, as well as competitive pressures in the Corporation's operating markets. For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities issued by or loans made to state and local governments, is adjusted by an increment which equates tax-exempt income to interest from taxable assets. Net interest income (tax equivalent) for 1998 was $23.6 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 14.2% compared to the prior year. The net increase reflected a $5.1 million increase in interest income which was offset by a $2.2 million increase in interest expense. The Corporation's yield on earning assets declined to 8.30% in 1998, from 8.45% for 1997. Rates paid on the Corporation's interest-bearing liabilities, increased from 4.16% in 1997 to 4.24% in 1998. These negative shifts in yield on earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities resulted in the net interest margin declining from 5.47% in 1997 to 5.28% for 1998. However, an18.1% increase in average earning assets more than offset the decline in net interest margin. Also, contributing to the improved net interest income for 1998 was the increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. In 1998, the average balance of demand deposits increased 14.4%. Although the average demand deposits as a percent of average total deposits declined to 27.8% in 1998 from 28.2% in 1997 this ratio remains very positive compared to the Corporation's peers. -17- SUMMARY OF EARNING ASSETS AND INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES Although the year-end detail provides satisfactory indicators of general trends, the daily average balance sheets are more meaningful for analysis purposes than year-end data because averages reflect the day-to-day fluctuations that are common to bank balance sheets. Also, average balances for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can be related directly to the components of interest income and interest expense on the statements of income. This provides the basis for analysis of rates earned and paid, and sources of increases and decreases in net interest income as derived from changes in volumes and rates. The following schedule presents average balance sheets for the most recent three years in a format that highlights earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

(2) Presented on a tax equivalent basis ("T/E") using a federal income tax rate of 34% in all three years. Net interest margin, the net return on earning assets which is computed by dividing net interest income by average total earning assets, was 5.28% for 1998, a nineteen basis point decline from the previous year. This decline in the margin reflected a lower yield on earning assets contributed to by a declining interest rate market in the fourth quarter of 1998 and a more competitive economic market that resulted in somewhat lower pricing of some loans. Also, competitive market conditions resulted in higher rates being paid on deposit products, along with a shift by the Corporation's customers to higher interest rate deposit products. -18- The table below analyzes the increase in net interest income for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 on a fully tax equivalent basis. Non- accruing loans have been included in assets for these computations, thereby reducing yields on total loans. The changes in interest due to both rate and volume in the rate/volume analysis table below have been allocated to volume or rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each. 1998 1997 vs. 1997 vs. 1996 Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) Due to Changes in: Due to Changes in: ------------------------------ ----------------------------- (Dollars in Thousands) Volume Rate Total Volume Rate Total --------- ------- ---------- -------- -------- --------- Interest Earning Assets: Federal Funds Sold $1,080 $ (35) $1,045 $ 64 $ 38 $ 102 Investment Securities (Taxable) 248 (159) 89 (656) 132 (524) Investment Securities (Tax-exempt) 38 2 40 34 -0- 34 Loans, Net of Unearned Discount 4,185 (252) 3,933 4,539 245 4,784 ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ Total Interest Income 5,551 (444) 5,107 3,981 415 4,396 ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ Interest-Bearing Liabilities: Deposits 1,793 220 2,013 962 573 1,535 Other Borrowings 170 (6) 164 (25) 16 (9) ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ Total Interest Expense 1,963 214 2,177 937 589 1,526 ------ ----- ------ ------ ----- ------ Changes in Net Interest Income $3,588 $(658) $2,930 $3,044 $(174) $2,870 ====== ===== ====== ====== ===== ====== Net interest income for 1998 increased $2,930,000, or 14.2% over the prior year. In this same period total interest income increased 15.9% and total interest expense increased 19.3%. NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income is an important contributor to net earnings. The major component of the Corporation's non-interest income is various charges and fees earned on deposit accounts and related services. The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest income during the past three years (dollars in thousands): 1998 1997 1996 ---------------------- ----------------------- ------ Amount % Change Amount % Change Amount ------- --------- -------- --------- ------ Service Charges on Deposit Accounts $2,018 6.8% $1,890 14.9% $1,645 Non-recurring Income 412 -- 151 (25.2) 202 Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investment Securities 35 -- (1) -- (14) Other Non-interest Income 1,385 13.1 1,225 7.2 1,143 ------ ------ ------ Total Non-interest Income $3,850 17.9 $3,265 9.7 $2,976 ====== ====== ====== Service charges on deposits increased in 1998 as a result of an increase in the various service fees charged on deposit accounts and an increase in the number of accounts. The non-recurring income in 1998 included $137,000 from refunds of state franchise taxes paid in prior years, $178,000 from gains on sales of assets taken in satisfaction of debts in prior years and $97,000 of interest recovered on loans either charged-off in prior years or loans that were on non-accural status in prior years. Non-recurring income in 1997 and 1996 is primarily interest recovered on loans charged-off in prior years and gains on sales of miscellaneous assets. The increase in other non-interest income in 1998 is primarily due to income from two new products, debit cards and mortgage brokerage/origination, partially offset by lower fees earned on investment services to customers. Excluding non-recurring income and gains and losses on securities, non-interest income increased 9.3% in 1998 and 11.7% in 1997. -19- NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense includes all expenses of the Corporation other than interest expense, provision for loan losses and income tax expense. The following table summarizes the changes in the non-interest expenses for the past three years (dollars in thousands): 1998 1997 1996 ----------------------- -------------------- ------ Amount % Change Amount % Change Amount ------ -------- ------ -------- ------ Salaries and Employee Benefits $ 8,576 14.0% $ 7,524 11.4% $ 6,753 Occupancy Expense - Net 928 19.9 774 2.6 772 Furniture and Equipment Expense 1,150 25.1 919 14.9 800 Other Real Estate Owned Expense (1) -- (63) -- 10 Other Expenses: Business Development 611 3.9 588 38.0 426 Insurance - Other 102 5.2 97 (3.0) 100 Legal and Professional Fees 511 3.0 496 12.2 442 Other Taxes 277 52.2 182 80.2 101 Postage and Courier 286 .7 284 8.4 262 Printing and Supplies 387 3.8 373 23.1 303 Regulatory Fees and Assessments 169 5.6 160 19.4 134 Other Operating Expenses 1,177 19.6 984 20.9 814 ------- ------- ------- Total Other Expenses 3,520 11.3 3,164 22.5 2,582 ------- ------- ------- Total Non-interest Expense $14,173 15.1 $12,318 12.8 $10,917 ======= ======= ======= Total non-interest expense increased 15.1% in 1998 over 1997 reflecting increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, other taxes and other operating expenses. As a percent of average assets, non-interest expenses were 2.95% in 1998 and the "efficiency ratio" (non-interest expenses divided by total non-interest income plus net interest income) was 51.60% for 1998. The efficiency ratio measures what percentage of total revenues are absorbed by non-interest expense. These measures of operating efficiency compare very favorably to other financial institutions in the Corporation's peer groups. The increase in salaries and employee benefits for 1998 is due to salary merit increases and additions to staff. The average number of full-time equivalent employees increased by 21 in 1998 to an average full-time equivalent of 166. At year end 1998 the full-time equivalent staff was 169 versus 160 at the same time the prior year. The increases for salaries and number of employees include additions for a branch office opened in 1997. Also, several lending officers and customer service officers and employees were added in the last half of 1997 and were on staff for the full year of 1998. The increase in occupancy expense includes the rent for a new branch office that was opened in the fourth quarter of 1997. Also, increases of approximately 13%, in the aggregate, were experienced in utilities expense, repairs expense and ad valorem tax expense in current facilities. The increase in furniture and equipment expense is primarily a result of depreciation and service contract expense for a new computer network system installed in mid 1997 as well as, new item processing equipment added in late 1997. Also, expenses related to a new branch office opened in 1997 are reflected. Other taxes, primarily franchise taxes paid to the State of Texas were higher due to higher levels of taxable capital at all entities and the loss of certain tax credits that were available in prior years. As noted in the discussion of non-interest income, tax refunds were received for the tax years of 1995 through 1997 by filing amended returns to reflect new interpretations of taxable capital. These new interpretations should assist in maintaining somewhat lower taxes in future years. Other operating expenses increased in 1998 due to an increase in various miscellaneous operating costs including telephone service fees, ATM support expenses, third party data processing support fees, and travel expenses. -20- FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." See Note 10 of the Corporation's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of tax expense. The Corporation provided $4.3 million for federal income taxes for 1998, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.7%. INVESTMENT SECURITIES. The following table presents the consolidated investment securities portfolio at amortized cost as of December 31, 1998, classified as to -------------- whether the security is to be Held-to-Maturity or is Available-for-Sale (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these designations), by stated maturity and with the weighted average interest yield for each range of maturities. The yields on tax-exempt obligations are computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using statutory rates for federal income taxes.

At December 31, 1997 the yield of the portfolio was 6.08% and the weighted average life was 2.2 years. In late 1998 the Corporation purchased $30,000,000 par value of U.S. Agency Discount notes. These securities had a maturity of 30 to 120 days and provided a yield greater than Federal funds while providing the necessary liquidity. The inclusion of these notes in the portfolio reduced the average life of the portfolio. Note 2 to the Corporation's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements shown in this report reflects the estimated fair values for various categories of investment securities as of December 31, 1998 and 1997. As of December 31, 1998, there was a net unrealized gain of $1,213,000 in the portfolio of which $849,000 related to Available-for-Sale securities, or .7% of the amortized cost of those securities.

Management of the Corporation views these trades as an opportunity to restructure the portfolio for future benefits. LOANS. The following schedule classifies loans according to type as of December 31 for the past five years (dollars in thousands): December 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % of % of % of % of % of ------------ 1998 Total 1997 Total 1996 Total 1995 Total 1994 Total ------------ ------ --------- ------ --------- ------ --------- ------ --------- ------ Commercial $133,066 43.5% $127,800 46.3% $103,414 47.0% $ 81,542 45.7% $ 69,610 50.1% Real Estate Mortgage 100,421 32.9 90,638 32.8 76,771 34.9 64,200 36.0 51,684 37.2 Real Estate Construction 40,456 13.2 26,290 9.5 12,862 5.8 10,189 5.7 3,656 2.6 Loans to Individuals, Net of Unearned Discount 31,890 10.4 31,341 11.4 26,959 12.3 22,562 12.6 14,016 10.1 -------- -------- -------- -------- ----- -------- ----- Total Loans, Net of Unearned Income $305,833 100.0% $276,069 100.0% $220,006 100.0% $178,493 100.0% $138,966 100.0% ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== The preceding loan distribution table reflects that total loans increased $29.8 million (10.8%) between year-end 1997 and 1998. Although this dollar increase was significant, the Corporation is continuing to apply stringent credit criteria on all loan applications. At December 31, 1998, loans were 65.7% of deposits compared to 68.7% at the previous year-end reflecting an above average increase in deposits in the fourth quarter of 1998. However, average loans were 69.8% of average deposits in 1998 compared to 68.7% in 1997. Primarily, the commercial loan customers of the Subsidiary Banks are small to medium-sized businesses and professionals and executives. The banks offer a variety of commercial loan products that include revolving lines of credit, letters of credit, working capital loans and loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Generally, these commercial loans have floating rates of interest with terms of maturity of three years or less. A significant portion of the $100 million real estate mortgage portfolio is loans to finance owner-occupied real estate. At December 31, 1998, $62 million of loans, approximately 62% of the real estate mortgage portfolio, had been made for this purpose. Also, approximately 34% of the loans in the real estate mortgage portfolio have variable rates of interest with a significant portion of the remaining portfolio having balloon terms at five to seven years and/or rate adjustment clauses. Real estate construction loans are made primarily to finance construction of single family residences in the Corporation's market area of Tarrant County. Construction loans generally are secured by first liens on real estate and have floating interest rates. The Corporation's lending activities in this area are primarily with borrowers that have been in the building trade for many years and with which the banks have long standing relationships. The Corporation's lending officers meet quarterly with consultants that carefully track the residential building activities within the market. The Corporation will adjust its construction lending activities based on the trends of housing starts and absorption rates in the market. The Corporation also lends to consumers for purchases of various consumer goods, such as automobiles, boats and home improvements. The terms of these loans typically are five years or less and are well secured with liens on products purchased or other assets. These loans are primarily made to customers who have other relationships with the banks. The Corporation does not issue credit cards and does not have any credit card loans outstanding. The following table presents commercial loans and real estate construction loans at December 31, 1998, based on scheduled principal repayments and the total amount of loans due after one year classified according to sensitivity to changes in interest rates (in thousands): Over One Year One Year Through Over Five or Less Five Years Years Total --------- ---------- --------- --------- Commercial $107,623 $22,688 $2,755 $133,066 Real Estate Construction 36,016 2,305 2,135 40,456 -------- ------- ------ -------- Totals $143,639 $24,993 $4,890 $173,522 ======== ======= ====== ======== -22- Of the loans maturing after one year, all have fixed rates of interest, with many having rate adjustment clauses during the remaining term of the loan that allow for periodic adjustments to rates. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loans, or portions thereof, which are considered to be uncollectible are charged against this allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents the amount which, in management's judgement, will be adequate to absorb future charge-offs of existing loans which may become uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management's periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio and by the employment of third party loan review specialists. All known problem loans, unknown inherent risks generally associated with bank lending, past loan loss experience, delinquency ratios and current and projected economic conditions are taken into account in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance. The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 118"). These standards specify how allowances for certain impaired loans should be determined and the accounting for in-substance foreclosures. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not both well-secured and in the process of collection, or immediately, if in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The following table presents average loans net of unearned income and an analysis of the consolidated allowance for loan losses (dollars in thousands): Years Ended December 31, ----------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Average Loans Outstanding $ 292,060 $ 248,303 $ 201,506 $ 156,374 $ 132,079 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses: Balance, Beginning of Year $ 4,065 $ 2,972 $ 2,500 $ 2,410 $ 2,594 Charge-Offs: Commercial 128 148 424 321 101 Real Estate Mortgage 39 -0- -0- -0- 180 Real Estate Construction 6 -0- -0- -0- -0- Loans to Individuals 170 98 36 26 32 ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Total Charge-Offs 343 246 462 347 313 ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Recoveries: Commercial 87 379 58 74 129 Real Estate Mortgage 111 56 54 114 79 Real Estate Construction -0- -0- -0- -0- -0- Loans to Individuals 19 4 3 13 35 ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Total Recoveries 217 439 115 201 243 ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Net Charge-Offs (Recoveries) 126 (193) 347 146 70 ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Provision Charged (Credited) to Operating Expense 785 900 819 236 (114) ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- Balance, End of Year $ 4,724 $ 4,065 $ 2,972 $ 2,500 $ 2,410 ========== ========== ========== ========= ========== Ratio of Net Charge-Offs (Recoveries) to Average Loans Outstanding .04% (.08)% .17% .09% .05% ========== ========== ========== ========= ========== -23- The decrease in provision for loan losses in 1998 over 1997 primarily recognizes the significant increase in reserve to loans ratio in the prior year (1.47% vs 1.35%) and a lower rate of growth in loans.

Management of the Corporation believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1998, is adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will not sustain loan losses in future periods which could be substantial in relation to the size of the current allowance. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of loans. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans and other real estate. Non-accrual loans are those on which the accrual of interest has been suspended and on which the interest is recorded as earned when it is received. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, and the loan is not both well-secured and in the process of collection, or immediately, if in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is doubtful. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously recorded but not collected is reversed and charged against current interest income. Renegotiated loans are loans on which the interest and/or the principal has been reduced due to a deterioration in the borrower's financial condition. Even though these loans are actually performing, they are included in non-performing assets because of the loss of revenue related to the reduction of interest and/or principal. Other real estate is real estate acquired through foreclosure or through partial settlement of debts and which is awaiting sale and disposition. At the time of acquisition, other real estate is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value or the loan balance or settlement agreement with any write-down charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any further write-downs, expenses related to the property, and any gain or loss resulting from the sale of the property are recorded in current operating expenses. -24- The following table summarizes the non-performing assets and loans 90 days past due and still accruing as of December 31, (dollars in thousands): December 31, ----------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Non-accrual Loans $5,049 $2,112 $1,102 $ 990 $ 643 Renegotiated Loans 6 -0- -0- -0- -0- Other Real Estate 281 151 166 113 649 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Non-Performing Assets $5,336 $2,263 $1,268 $1,103 $1,292 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== As a Percent of: Total Assets 1.00% .49% .32% .31% .44% Total Loans and Other Real Estate 1.74 .82 .58 .62 .93 Loans Past Due 90 Days or More and Still Accruing $ 3 $ 78 $ 36 $ -0- $ 32 The Subsidiary Banks are required, by the regulatory authorities, to have other real estate evaluated periodically. In the event the new evaluation value is less than the carrying value of the property, the excess is written off to expense. Some properties are written down below their evaluation values when management feels the economic value of the property has declined below the evaluation value. Non-accrual loans at December 31, 1998, were comprised of $2,393,000 in commercial loans, $451,000 in real estate mortgages, $2,108,000 in interim construction loans and $97,000 to consumers. Within the non-accrual commercial loans is one loan of $1,914,000 that is performing as to payment of principal and interest, however, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty due to their line of business - health insurance underwriting. The non-accrual interim construction loans includes a commercial construction loan for $1,609,000 to a borrower that is in bankruptcy. In January 1999, the property was foreclosed. The property has been appraised at a value above the loan value, therefore the foreclosed asset was recorded at the loan value at foreclosure. The impact on interest income from the above non-accrual loans and renegotiated loans for the past five (5) years is provided below (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Gross Amount of Interest That Would Have Been Recorded at Original Rate $ 537 $ 272 $ 111 $ 102 $ 35 Interest Included in Income 312 154 30 42 25 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Interest Not Recorded in Income $ 225 $ 118 $ 81 $ 60 $ 10 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Loans of each Subsidiary Bank are graded on a system similar to that used by the regulators. The first level of criticized loans is "Other Assets Especially Mentioned" (OAEM). These loans are normally fundamentally sound but have potential weaknesses which may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the bank's credit position at some future date. The second level is "Substandard", which are loans inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity or pledged collateral. The last level of criticized loans, before they are charged off, is "Doubtful". Doubtful loans are considered to have inherent weaknesses because collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable. Non-accrual loans normally include weaker Substandard loans and loans that are considered to be Doubtful. -25- The following table summarizes the relationship between non-performing loans, criticized loans and the allowance for loan losses (dollars in thousands): December 31, ---------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Non-Performing Loans $ 5,055 $ 2,112 $ 1,102 $ 990 $ 643 Criticized Loans 10,468 9,295 4,589 7,621 4,497 Allowance for Loan Losses 4,724 4,065 2,972 2,500 2,410 Allowance for Loan Losses as a Percent of: Non-Performing Loans 94.0% 193.0% 270.0% 252.0% 375.0% Criticized Loans 45.0 44.0 65.0 33.0 54.0 Independent third party loan reviews of the Subsidiary Banks were completed at various times in 1998. In addition, regulatory examinations were completed in early 1999. Based on the findings of these reviews and exams the Subsidiary Banks appear to be adequately reserved. Management is not aware of any potential loan problems, that have not been disclosed, to which serious doubts exist as to the ability of the borrower to substantially comply with the present repayment terms. DEPOSITS. The primary source of the Corporation's funds is the deposits of the Subsidiary Banks. The majority of the Corporation's deposits are considered "core" deposits, that is, deposits that are not subject to material changes due to customer withdrawal because of market rate changes. The Corporation does not accept brokered deposits. Average demand deposits increased $14.6 million, or 14.4% in 1998. These deposits represented 27.8% of total deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $42.3 million, or 16.3%. The deposit types' daily average balance and related average rates paid during each of the last three (3) years are as follows (dollars in thousands): 1998 1997 1996 ------------------- ------------------------------- --------- Amount Rate Paid Amount Rate Paid Amount Rate Paid ------ --------- -------- ---------- -------- --------- Noninterest-Bearing Demand Deposits $116,428 $101,813 $ 88,022 Interest-Bearing Deposits: Interest-Bearing Transaction Accounts 144,133 3.60% 128,880 3.57% 116,811 3.30% Savings 68,011 4.37 50,756 4.21 46,324 4.04 Savings Certificates 52,261 5.03 49,203 4.95 48,058 4.77 Certificates of Deposit of $100,000 or More 36,752 5.30 30,242 5.20 24,405 4.95 Other Time Deposits 877 5.59 622 5.38 428 4.42 -------- -------- -------- Total Interest-Bearing Deposits 302,034 4.23 259,703 4.15 236,026 3.92 -------- -------- -------- Total Deposits $418,462 $361,516 $324,048 ======== ======== ======== The remaining maturity on certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 is presented below (in thousands): % of % of % of Maturity 1998 Total 1997 Total 1996 Total - ------------------ -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- ------ 3 months or less $14,227 38.4% $15,480 43.4% $10.215 40.1% 3 to 6 months 7,943 21.4 6,894 19.3 7,342 28.9 6 to 12 months 8,471 22.8 11,383 31.9 6.350 25.0 Over 12 months 6,458 17.4 1,933 5.4 1,527 6.0 -26- BORROWINGS. Securities sold under repurchase agreements generally represent borrowings with maturities ranging from one to thirty days. These borrowings are with significant commercial customers of the banks that require short-term liquidity for their funds. Information relating to these borrowings is summarized as follows: December 31, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Securities sold under repurchase agreements: Average $ 15,742 $ 11,668 $ 12,181 Year-end 17,839 14,689 13,209 Maximum month-end balance during year 19,354 15,263 14,453 Interest Rate: Average 4.40% 4.53% 4.33% Year-end 3.83 4.55 4.35 INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY. The objectives of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk of the balance sheet are to contribute to earnings by minimizing adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the direction and level of interest rates and to provide liquidity to satisfy cash flow requirements to meet customers' fluctuating demands. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in the market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. An asset-sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets than liabilities being subject to repricing; therefore, market interest-rate changes will be reflected more quickly in asset rates. If interest rates decline, such a position will have an adverse effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a liability-sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a decline in market rates will benefit net interest income. A mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in which relatively equal volumes reprice each period represents a matched interest sensitivity "gap" position; any excess of these assets or liabilities results in an interest sensitive gap. The following table, commonly referred to as a "static gap report", indicates the interest rate-sensitivity position at December 31, 1998 and may not be reflective of positions in subsequent periods (dollars in thousands): Repriced Due in After 1 30 Due in Due in Total Year or Days 31-180 181 Days Rate Non-Rate Or Less Days to One Year Sensitive Sensitive Total --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- ------- Earning Assets: Loans $ 160,376 $ 20,763 $ 16,639 $ 197,778 $ 108,055 $305,833 Investment Securities 12,694 30,145 21,133 63,972 84,040 148,012 Federal Funds Sold 38,706 -0- -0- 38,706 -0- 38,706 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Total Earning Assets 211,776 50,908 37,772 300,456 192,095 492,551 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Interest-Bearing Liabilities: Interest-Bearing Transaction Accounts and Savings 233,060 -0- -0- 233,060 -0- 233,060 Certificates of Deposits > $100,000 8,286 13,935 8,504 30,725 6,374 37,099 Other Time Deposits 4,923 22,000 14,349 41,272 12,899 54,171 Repurchase Agreements 17,839 -0- -0- 17,839 -0- 17,839 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Total Interest- Bearing Liabilities 264,108 35,935 22,853 322,896 19,273 342,169 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Interest Sensitivity Gap $ (52,332) $ 14,973 $ 14,919 $ (22,440) $ 172,822 $150,382 ========= ========= ======== ========= ========= ======== Cumulative Gap $ (52,332) $ (37,359) $(22,440) ========= ========= ======== Cumulative Gap To Total Earning Assets (10.62%) (7.58%) (4.56%) Cumulative Gap To Total Assets (9.82%) (7.01%) (4.21%) -27- In the preceding table under the "After 1 Year" category, $80,806,000 in investment securities will reprice or mature within one to three years and another $653,000 will reprice or mature within three to five years. The average maturity of the investment portfolio is approximately 1.6 years. Also, the above table reflects the call dates versus maturity dates and periodic principal amortization of investment securities. The preceding static gap report reflects a cumulative liability sensitive position during the one year horizon. An inherent weakness of this report is that it ignores the relative volatility any one category may have in relation to other categories or market rates in general. For instance, the rate paid on certain interest-bearing transaction accounts typically moves slower than the three month T-Bill. Management attempts to capture this relative volatility by utilizing a simulation model with a "beta factor" adjustment which estimates the volatility of rate sensitive assets and/or liabilities in relation to other market rates. Beta factors are an estimation of the long term, multiple interest rate environment relation between an individual account and market rates in general. For instance, NOW, savings and money market accounts, which are repriceable within 30 days will have considerably lower beta factors than variable rate loans and most investment categories. Taking this into consideration, it is quite possible for a bank with a negative cumulative gap to total asset ratio to have a positive "beta adjusted" gap risk position. As a result of applying the beta factors established by the Corporation's management to the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in the static gap report via a simulation model, the cumulative gap to total assets ratio at one year of (4.21%) was reversed to a positive 14.72% "beta adjusted" gap position. Management feels that the "beta adjusted" gap risk technique more accurately reflects the Corporation's gap position. Also, based on the Corporation's analysis of its interest rate sensitivity position at year end 1998, a 100-basis point change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on its net interest income over a twelve month period. The following table reflects the spreads and margins for the past three (3) years: 1998 1997 1996 ----- ----- ----- Yield on Earning Assets (T/E) 8.30% 8.45% 8.11% Cost of Funds 4.24 4.16 3.93 Net Interest Spread (T/E) 4.06 4.29 4.18 Net Interest Margin (T/E) 5.28 5.47 5.24 CAPITAL RESOURCES. At December 31, 1998 shareholders' equity totaled $46.2 million, an increase of $5.1 million or111 12.5% for the year. This increase was primarily from retained earnings, i.e., earnings net of dividends to shareholders and the impact of the repurchase of shares of the Corporation. Bank regulatory authorities have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. The objective of these efforts is to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to reflect the level of risk associated with holding various categories of assets. The guidelines define Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The only components of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, for the Corporation, are equity capital and equity capital plus a portion of the allowance for loan losses, respectively. The guidelines also stipulate that four categories of risk weights (0, 20, 50, and 100 percent), primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty, be applied to the different types of balance sheet assets. Risk weights for all off-balance sheet exposures are determined by a two step process whereas the face value of the off-balance sheet item is converted to a "credit equivalent amount" and that amount is assigned to the appropriate risk category. Off-balance sheet items at December 1996, 1997 and 1998 included unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The minimum ratio for qualifying total capital is 8.00 percent, of which 4.00 percent must be Tier 1 capital. The Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency also have a capital to total assets (leverage) guideline. These guidelines establish a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3 percent. A banking organization operating at or near these levels is expected to have well- diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and in general be considered a strong banking organization. Organizations not meeting these characteristics are expected to operate well above these minimum capital standards. Thus, for all but the most highly rated organizations, the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio is to be 3 percent plus minimum additional cushions of at least 100 to 200 basis points. At the discretion of the regulatory authorities, additional capital may be required. -28- The table below illustrates the Corporation's and its Subsidiary Banks' compliance with the regulatory guidelines as of December 31, 1998 (dollars in thousands): The Summit Summit Consolidated National Community Corporation Bank Bank, N.A. ------------- ---------- ----------- Total Assets $532,764 $219,601 $307,715 Risk Weighted Assets 330,836 129,321 197,747 Equity Capital (Tier 1) $ 45,675 $ 19,467 $ 22,809 Qualifying Allowance For Loan Losses 4,136 1,617 2,472 -------- -------- -------- Total Tier 2 Capital $ 49,811 $ 21,084 $ 25,281 ======== ======== ======== Leverage Ratio 8.52% 8.80% 7.35% Risk Capital Ratio: Tier 1 13.81% 15.05% 11.53% Total Tier 2 Capital 15.06 16.30 12.78 The Corporation had an unrealized gain on Available-for-Sale securities, net of deferred taxes, of $560,000 as of December 31, 1998. Under regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on Available-for-Sale securities is not included in the calculation of risk-based capital. As can be seen in the preceding table, the Corporation and its Subsidiary Banks exceed the risk-based capital and leverage requirements set by the regulators as of December 31, 1998. Also, as of December 31, 1998, the Corporation and its Subsidiary Banks met the criteria for classification as a "well-capitalized" institution under the rules of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). IMPACT OF INFLATION. The effects of inflation on the local economy and on the Corporation's operating results have been relatively modest for the past several years. Since substantially all of the Corporation's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, such as cash, investments, loans and deposits, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates, which do not necessarily change in accordance with inflation rates. The Corporation attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. LIQUIDITY. Liquidity is defined as the Corporation's ability to meet deposit withdrawals, provide for the legitimate credit needs of customers, and take advantage of certain investment opportunities as they arise. While maintaining adequate liquid assets to fulfill these functions, it must also maintain compatible levels of maturity and rate concentrations between its sources of funds and earning assets. The liability structure of the Corporation is short- term in nature and the asset structure is likewise oriented towards short maturities. The Corporation's primary "internal" source of liquidity is its federal funds sold and its marketable investment securities, particularly those with shorter maturities. At December 31, 1998, federal funds sold and investment securities maturing within 30 days represented $51.4 million or 9.6% of total assets. Additionally, the Corporation's ability to sell loan participations and purchase federal funds serves as secondary sources of liquidity. Each of the Subsidiary Banks have approved federal funds lines at other banks. The liquidity of the Corporation is enhanced by the fact that 92% of total deposits at December 31, 1998, were "core" deposits. Core deposits for this purpose are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. The parent Corporation's income, which provides funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and for other corporate purposes, is derived from the investment in its subsidiaries and from management fees paid by the subsidiaries. See Note 16 - Dividends from Subsidiaries for limitations on dividends payable by subsidiaries. -29- IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE. The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Corporation's computer programs that have date- sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal business activities. Based on assessments, the Corporation determined that it would be required to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Corporation presently believes that with modifications to existing software, the Year 2000 Issue can be mitigated. However, if such modifications are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have material impact on the operations of the Corporation. The Corporation has utilized both internal and external resources to correct and test the software for Year 2000 modifications. The Corporation has substantially completed the Year 2000 project. The remaining work on the project includes finalization of the Corporation's contingency plans should any area not function as tested or any external event impact the operation of the Corporation. The total cost of the Year 2000 project has not been material to the financial condition of the Corporation. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. The Corporation may from time to time make forward- looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) with respect to earnings per share, credit quality, expected Year 2000 compliance program, corporate objectives and other financial and business matters. The Corporation cautions the reader that these forward- looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including economic conditions; actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board; legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; competition; as well as other reasons, all of which change over time. Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking statements. ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Fort Worth, Texas We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley STOVALL, GRANDEY, & WHATLEY Fort Worth, Texas January 22, 1999 -32- MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of the Corporation is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, related financial data and other information in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with general accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on management's estimates and judgment where appropriate. Financial information appearing throughout this annual report is consistent with the financial statements. In meeting its responsibility both for the integrity and fairness of these financial statements and information, management depends on the accounting systems and related internal accounting controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurances that transactions are authorized and recorded in accordance with established procedures and that assets are safeguarded and that proper and reliable records are maintained. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal controls should not exceed the related benefits. As an integral part of the system of internal controls, the Corporation retains auditors who monitor compliance with and evaluate the effectiveness of the system of internal controls and coordinate audit coverage with the independent auditors. The Audit Committee of the Corporation and the Banking Subsidiaries' Board of Directors, which are composed entirely of directors independent of management, meet regularly with management, regulatory examiners, internal auditors, the loan review consultants and independent auditors to discuss financial reporting matters, internal controls, regulatory reports, internal auditing and the nature, scope and results of audit efforts. Internal audit and loan review personnel report directly to the Audit Committee. The banking regulators, internal auditors and independent auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee. The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Stovall, Grandey & Whatley, independent auditors, who render an independent opinion on management's financial statements. Their appointment was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and by the shareholders. The audit by the independent auditors provides an additional assessment of the degree to which the Corporation's management meets its responsibility for financial reporting. Their opinion on the financial statements is based on auditing procedures, which include their consideration of the internal control structure and performance of selected tests of transactions and records, as they deem appropriate. These auditing procedures are designed to provide an additional reasonable level of assurance that the financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with general accepted accounting principles in all material respects. /s/ Philip E.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES The accounting and reporting policies of Summit Bancshares, Inc. ("the Corporation") and its Subsidiaries are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the prevailing practices within the banking industry. A summary of the more significant policies follows: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - ----------------------------------------------------- The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include its accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Summit National Bank, Summit Community Bank, N.A. (the "Subsidiary Banks") and Summit Bancservices, Inc. ("Bancservices"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS - ----------------------- The Subsidiary Banks are required to maintain certain restricted balances at the Federal Reserve Bank based on their level of deposits. During 1998 the average cash balance maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank was approximately $678,000. Compensating balances held at correspondent banks to minimize service charges averaged approximately $16,668,000 in 1998. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - --------------------- The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115"). At the date of purchase, the Corporation is required to classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available- for-sale. At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in the financial statements only if management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold to maturity its investment securities classified as held-to-maturity; accordingly, no adjustment has been made for the excess, if any, of amortized cost over market. In determining the investment category classifications at time of purchase of securities, management considers its asset/liability strategy, changes in interest rates and prepayment risk, the need to increase capital and other factors. Under certain circumstances (including the deterioration of the issuer's credit worthiness, a change in tax law, or statutory or regulatory requirements), the Corporation may change the investment security classification. In 1998 and 1997 the Corporation held no securities that would have been classified as trading securities. -38- All investment securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded to interest income over the contractual maturity or estimated life of the individual investment on the level yield method. Gain or loss on sale of investments is based upon the specific identification method and the gain or loss is recorded in non-interest income. Income earned on the Corporation's investments in securities of state and political subdivisions is not taxable. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - ----------------------------------- Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less unearned discount and the allowance for loan losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method approximating the interest method. Interest income on all other loans is recognized based upon the principal amounts outstanding, the simple interest method. Generally, loan origination and commitment fees are recognized at the time of funding and are considered adjustments to interest income. Related direct costs are not separately allocated to loans but are charged to non-interest expense in the period incurred. The net effect of not recognizing such fees and related costs over the life of the related loan is not considered to be material to the financial statements. The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is doubt about the ability of the borrower to pay interest or principal. Interest previously earned, but uncollected on such loans, is written off. After loans are placed on non-accrual all payments received are applied to principal and no interest income is recorded until the loan is returned to accrual status or the principal has been reduced to zero. The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure." Under SFAS 114, the allowance for loan losses related to any loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with SFAS 114 (impaired loans) is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of amounts charged against income in the form of the provision for loan losses as determined by management. Management's evaluation is based on a number of subjective factors, including the Subsidiary Banks' loss experience in relation to outstanding loans and the existing level of the allowance, prevailing and prospective economic conditions, and management's continuing review of nonperformance loans and its evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio. Loan balances are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. The evaluation of the adequacy of loan collateral is often based upon estimates and appraisals. Because of changing economic conditions, the valuations determined from such estimates and appraisals may also change. Accordingly, the Corporation may ultimately incur losses which vary from management's current estimates. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will be reported in the period such adjustments become known or are reasonably estimable. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - ---------------------- Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to non-interest expense. Renewals and improvements are added to the asset accounts and depreciated over the periods benefited. OTHER REAL ESTATE - ----------------- Other real estate is foreclosed property held pending disposition and is valued at the lower of its fair value or the recorded investment in the related loan. At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real estate acquired is less than the Corporation's recorded investment in the related loan, a writedown is recognized through a charge to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on disposition are included in non-interest expense. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - -------------------- The Corporation joins with its subsidiaries in filing a consolidated federal income tax return. The subsidiaries pay the Corporation a charge equivalent to their current federal income tax based on the separate taxable income of the subsidiaries. The Corporation and the subsidiaries maintain their records for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes on the accrual basis of accounting. Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are provided for the accumulated temporary differences -39- due to basic differences for assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax reporting. Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - ------------------------- For the purpose of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks". RECLASSIFICATION - ---------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE - ----------------------------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per share," requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Net income per common share for all periods presented has been calculated in accordance with SFAS 128. Outstanding stock options issued by the Corporation represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares.

The estimated maturities on these securities are between two and twelve years as of December 31, 1998, based on estimated prepayments of the underlying mortgages. Investment securities with carrying values of $44,567,000 and $34,663,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were pledged to secure federal, state and municipal deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Also, the fair values of those pledged securities totaled $44,849,000 and $34,823,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investment securities were $11,992,000 during 1998, $4,506,000 during 1997 and $14,527,000 during 1996. In 1998, gross gains from sale of securities of $35,000 were realized. In 1997, gross losses from sale of securities of -41- $3,000 were realized, but were partially offset by gross gains of $2,000. In 1996, gross losses from sale of securities of $27,000 were realized but were partially offset by gross gains of $13,000. The total amount of proceeds from securities sales have been from sales of securities included in the Available- for-Sale category. The Corporation or subsidiaries do not own any investment securities of any one issuer (excluding U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency Securities) of which aggregate adjusted cost exceeds 10% of the consolidated shareholders' equity at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Effective October 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. At the effective date, the Corporation transferred approximately $17,448,000 of securities from Held-to-Maturity to Available-for-Sale classification. At the time of transfer the securities had an approximate unrealized gain of $349,000. NOTE 3 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The loan portfolio consists of various types of loans made principally to borrowers located in Tarrant County, Texas. The book values of loans by major type follow (in thousands): December 31, ---------------------- 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Commercial $133,066 $127,800 Real Estate Mortgage 100,421 90,638 Real Estate Construction 40,456 26,290 Loans to Individuals 32,388 32,003 Less: Unearned Discount (498) (662) -------- -------- 305,833 276,069 Allowance for Loan Losses (4,724) (4,065) -------- -------- Loans, Net $301,109 $272,004 ======== ======== At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 was $4,596,000 and $1,652,000, respectively. These loans were on non-accrual status. The related allowance for loan losses for these loans was $1,052,000 and 349,000, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1998 was approximately $4,954,000. For 1998 the Corporation recognized no interest income on any loan classified as impaired. Loans on which accrued interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $5,049,000, $2,112,000, and $1,102,000 at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 respectively. If interest on these loans had been recorded in accordance with their original terms such income would have approximated $537,000 for 1998, $272,000 for 1997 and $111,000 for 1996. Interest income on those loans included in net income was $312,000 for 1998, $154,000 for 1997 and $30,000 for 1996. Transactions in the allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Balance, Beginning of Year $4,065 $2,972 $2,500 Provision, Charged to Income 785 900 819 Loans Charged Off (343) (246) (462) Recoveries of Loans Previously Charged Off 217 439 115 ------ ------ ------ Net Charge-Offs/(Recoveries) (126) 193 (347) ------ ------ ------ Balance, End of Year $4,724 $4,065 $2,972 ====== ====== ====== -42- NOTE 4 - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT The investment in premises and equipment stated at cost and net of accumulated depreciation and amortization is as follows (in thousands): December 31, -------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------------- -------------- ------------- Land $ 2,783 $ 1,446 $ 1,446 Buildings and Improvements 7,537 7,532 7,375 Furniture and Equipment 7,234 6,661 5,182 ------- ------- ------- Total Cost 17,554 15,639 14,003 Less: Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization 8,472 7,723 6,898 ------- ------- ------- Net Book Value $ 9,082 $ 7,916 $ 7,105 ======= ======= ======= Depreciation and amortization charged to expense amounted to $1,037,000, $840,000 and $762,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The note balance at December 31, 1998 and 1997, was $762,000 and $859,000, respectively. This note matures December 15, 1999 and is secured by banking premises. The interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 7.75% and is fixed annually on the note's anniversary date. The fair value of the note payable is it's carrying value since the note is a variable rate loan and the note is adjusted annually in December of each year at prime rate. On July 15, 1998, the Corporation obtained lines of credit from a bank under which the Corporation may borrow $9,000,000 at prime rate. The lines of credit are secured by stock of one of the Subsidiary Banks and mature in July 1999, whereupon, if balances are outstanding the lines convert to term notes having five year terms. The Corporation will not pay a fee for any unused portion of the lines. There have been no borrowings to date on these lines of credit. NOTE 9 - OTHER NON-INTEREST EXPENSE The significant components of other non-interest expense are presented below (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, --------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------------- -------------- -------------- Business Development $ 611 $ 588 $ 426 Legal and Professional Fees 511 496 442 Printing and Supplies 387 373 303 Regulatory Fees and Assessments 169 160 134 Other 1,842 1,547 1,277 ------ ------ ------ Total $3,520 $3,164 $2,582 ====== ====== ====== NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES The consolidated provision for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, -------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Federal Income Tax Expense Current $4,798 $3,911 $3,240 Deferred (465) (233) (137) ------ ------ ------ Total Federal Income Tax Expense $4,333 $3,678 $3,103 ====== ====== ====== Effective Tax Rates 34.7% 34.3% 34.3% ====== ====== ====== The reasons for the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to operating earnings are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Federal Income Taxes at Statutory Rate of 34% $4,278 $3,644 $3,076 Effect of Tax Exempt Interest Income (19) (12) (8) Nondeductible Expenses 58 47 39 Other 16 (1) (4) ------ ------ ------ Income Taxes Per Income Statement $4,333 $3,678 $3,103 ====== ====== ====== -45- Federal income taxes included in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands): December 31, ------------------- 1998 1997 -------- --------- Current Tax Asset (Liability) $ 10 $ (7) Deferred Tax Asset 973 672 ----- ----- Total Included in Other Assets $ 983 $ 665 ===== ===== Deferred income tax expense (benefit) results from differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as measured for income tax return and financial reporting purposes.

All loans included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and all loans are current as to principal and interest payments. A summary of these transactions follows (in thousands): Balance at Net Beginning Net Amounts Balance at of Year Additions Collected End of Year ---------- --------- ---------- ----------- For the Year ended December 31, 1998: 22 Directors and Officers $3,443 $1,494 $(2,089) $2,848 For the Year ended December 31, 1997: 22 Directors and Officers $3,819 $1,011 $(1,387) $3,443 -46- NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN The Corporation has two Incentive Stock Option Plans, the 1993 Plan and the 1997 Plan, ("the Plans"). Each Plan has reserved 600,000 shares (adjusted for two- for-one stock splits in 1995 and 1997) of common stock for grants thereunder. The Plans provide for the granting to executive management and other key employees of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries incentive stock options, as defined under the current tax law. The options under the Plans will be exercisable for ten years from the date of grant and generally vest ratably over a five year period. Options will be and have been granted at prices which will not be less than 100-110% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The following is a summary of transactions (adjusted for stock splits) for the years presented: Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------------------- -------------------- --------------------- Wtd. Avg. Wtd. Avg. Wtd. Avg. Shares Ex. Price Shares Ex. Price Shares Ex.

Stock options have been adjusted retroactively for the effects of stock dividends. The Corporation accounts for this plan under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation cost has been recognized for options granted. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced by insignificant amounts on a pro forma basis for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The fair value of the options granted in 1997 and 1998 were estimated as of the date of grant using an accepted options pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.48% and 6.10% respectively, expected dividend yield of 2.0% and 2.4%, respectively, and expected life of 6.5 years and expected volatility 29.7% and 29.2%, respectively. NOTE 13 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. -47- The amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are as follows (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 1998 1997 Contract Contract Amount Amount ------------ ------------ Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Represent Credit Risk: Loan commitments including unfunded lines of credit $106,806 $94,942 Standby letters of credit 2,155 4,568 Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the loan commitments and letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include certificates of deposits, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and real property. The Corporation originates real estate, commercial and consumer loans primarily to customers in the Tarrant County area. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the local economy and the real estate market. The Corporation maintains funds on deposit at correspondent banks which at times exceed the federally insured limits. Management of the Corporation monitors the balance in the account and periodically assesses the financial condition of correspondent banks. NOTE 14 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock. The number of shares used in the calculations reflect a two-for-one stock split in December 1997 (dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income $ 8,146 $ 7,040 $ 5,943 ========== ========== ========== Weighted average number of common shares used in Basic EPS 6,496,595 6,478,795 6,398,960 Effect of dilutive stock options 316,702 321,081 314,079 ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted number of common shares and dilutive potential common stock used in Diluted EPS 6,813,297 6,799,876 6,713,039 ========== ========== ========== NOTE 15 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLAN - ------------ The Corporation has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation history. The employee's compensation used in the benefit calculation is the highest average for any five consecutive years of employment within the employee's last ten years of employment. Effective August 31, 1998, the accrual of benefits under this plan were suspended. In February 1999, the Board of Directors chose to terminate the plan effective April 15, 1999. The assets held in trust will be distributed to the plan participants in 1999 under terms of the plan. -48- Funding for the plan is provided by employer contributions to trust funds in amounts determined by actuarial assumption and valuation of the plan. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheets at December 31 (in thousands): 1998 1997 -------- -------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation, including vested benefits of $1,719 in 1998 and $2,240 in 1997 $1,852 $2,420 ====== ====== Projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date $2,958 $3,035 Plan assets at fair value, primarily listed stocks and U.S. bonds 2,176 2,883 ------ ------ Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation 782 152 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions (930) (396) Prior service cost not yet recognized in net periodic pension cost (10) (12) ------ ------ Prepaid pension cost included in other assets $ 158 $ 232 ====== ====== Net pension expense included the following components (in thousands): Year ended December 31, --------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Service cost for benefits earned during the period $ 355 $ 227 $ 195 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 170 157 131 Less: Actual return on plan assets, net of expenses (126) (196) (153) Net amortization and deferral 39 5 (2) ------ ------ ------ Net periodic pension expense $ 438 $ 193 $ 171 ====== ====== ====== The discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation in 1998 were 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7 percent. During 1998 and 1997 the Corporation contributed $407,000 and $370,000 to the plan, respectively. 401(K) PLAN - ----------- The Corporation implemented a 401(k) plan in December 1997 covering substantially all employees. The Corporation made no contribution to this plan in 1998 or 1997. MANAGEMENT SECURITY PLAN - ------------------------ In 1992, the Corporation established a Management Security Plan to provide key employees with retirement, death or disability benefits in addition to those provided by the Pension Plan. The expense charged to operations in 1998, 1997, and 1996 for such future obligations was $237,000, $276,000, and $239,000, respectively. OTHER POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS - ------------------------------ The Corporation provides certain health care benefits for certain retired employees who bear all costs of these benefits. These benefits are covered under the "Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act" (COBRA). COMPENSATED ABSENCES - -------------------- Employees of the Corporation are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and other personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and other factors. It is impracticable to estimate the amount of compensation for future absences, and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually paid to employees. -49- NOTE 16- DIVIDENDS FROM SUBSIDIARIES The primary source of funds for the Parent Company is cash dividends received from the Subsidiary Banks. The amount of dividends that the Subsidiary Banks may pay in any one year, without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, is the sum of the retained net profits for the preceding two years plus its total of the net profits for the current year. Under this formula, in 1999 the Subsidiary Banks can legally initiate dividend payments of $10,081,000 plus an additional amount equal to their net profits, as defined, for 1999 to the date of any such dividend payment. The Subsidiary Banks are also restricted from paying dividends that would cause the Bank to be under-capitalized. Internal dividend policies limit dividends paid by Subsidiary Banks if their equity capital levels fall below certain minimums determined by the respective Boards of Directors. NOTE 17 - LITIGATION Certain of the Subsidiary Banks are involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management, after reviewing such actions with outside legal counsel, that the settlement of these matters will not materially affect the Corporation's financial position. NOTE 18 - STOCK SPLIT In October 1997, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a two-for- one stock split of the Corporation's common stock to be effected as a 100% stock dividend. The split was paid in December 1997. All references in the accompanying financial statements regarding stock options and per share data for prior periods have been restated to reflect the stock split. NOTE 19 - STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN On April 21, 1998 the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan. The plan authorized management to purchase up to 325,654 shares of the Corporation's common stock over the following twelve months through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations. In 1998, 102,500 shares were purchased on the open market. Under similar programs approved by the Board in the years 1994 through 1997, 188,680 shares in the aggregate were purchased in those years, reflecting two- for-one stock splits in years 1995 and 1997. NOTE 20 - REGULATORY CAPITAL COMPLIANCE The Corporation and Subsidiary Banks are subject to regulatory risk-based capital requirements that assign risk factors to all assets, including off- balance sheet items such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statement. Capital is separated into two categories, Tier 1 and Tier 2, which combine for total capital. At December 1998 and 1997, the Corporation's and Subsidiary Bank's Tier 1 capital consists of their respective shareholders' equity and Tier 2 consists of the allowance for loans losses subject to certain limitations. The guidelines require total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets. In conjunction with risk-based capital guidelines, the regulators have issued capital leverage guidelines. The leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital as a percent of total assets. The minimum leverage ratio for all banks is 3%, with a higher minimum ratio dependent upon the condition of the individual bank. The 3% minimum was established to make certain that all banks have a minimum capital level to support their assets, regardless of risk profile. -50- In addition to the minimum guidelines stated above, the regulatory authorities have established minimums for an institution to be classified as "well capitalized." A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ration of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. The Corporation and Subsidiary Banks currently exceed all minimum capital requirements and are considered to be "well capitalized", the highest rating, by the regulatory authorities. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would have changed the Corporation's capital rating since December 31, 1998. The Corporation's regulatory capital position was as follows: Actual, Minimum Required, December 31, December 31, ---------------------------- ------------------ 1998 1997 1998 ------------- ------------- ---------------- Total Qualifying Capital to Risk-Based Assets 15.06% 15.06% 8.00% Tier I Capital to Risk-Based Assets 13.81 13.81 4.00 Tier I Capital to Average Assets (Leverage) 8.52 8.83 3.00 NOTE 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 19, 1999, the Board of Directors of Summit Bancshares, Inc. approved a quarterly dividend of $.08 per share to be paid on February 16, 1999 to shareholders of record on February 1,1999. NOTE 22 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," ("SFAS No. 131") effective January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for reporting information about segments in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 131 introduces a new model for segment reporting called "management approach". The management approach is based on the way the chief operating decision-maker organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure and any other in which management disaggregates a company. Based on the "management approach" model, the Corporation has determined that its business is comprised of a single operating segment and that SFAS No. 131 therefore has no impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 23 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107"), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value tables or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. -51- The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet -------------------------- for cash and due from banks approximate those assets' fair values. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (INCLUDING MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES): Fair values for ------------------------------------------------------------- investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. LOANS: For variable-rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values. The ------ fair values for fixed rate loans such as mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) and installment loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair value disclosed for interest bearing and non- -------------------- interest bearing demand deposits, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date or their carrying amounts. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The carrying value of borrowings under repurchase ---------------------- agreements approximate their fair values.
