Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HENDERSON CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company and its primary bank subsidiary, Citizens National
Bank, Henderson, Texas, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial and statistical
information appearing elsewhere in this report.
ACQUISITION
- -----------
On December 11, 1998, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Jefferson National Bank, located at 109 E. Broadway, Jefferson, Texas, for a
combination of cash and notes payable. The transaction was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting and resulted in an increase in total assets of
$31,913,000 and total deposits of $28,564,000. The Citizens Bank merged
operations of the Jefferson National Bank with the existing Citizens Bank
Jefferson branch at the close of business on December 11, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net income for the first three months of 1999 increased to $1,045,000 compared
to $907,000 for the same period in 1998. The Company made a provision of
$150,000 to the allowance for loan losses during the first three months of 1999.
A provision of $129,000 was made for loan losses during the same period in 1998.
The Company experienced a net gain on securities transactions totaling
approximately $187,000 in the first three months of 1999 compared to a net gain
of $26,000 in the first three months of 1998. Other income, excluding net gains
on securities transactions, for the first three months of 1999 was $1,161,000
compared to $964,000 for the same period in 1998. Total other expenses for the
first three months of 1999 were $2,827,000 compared to $2,406,000 for the same
period in 1998. Income tax expense for the first three months of 1999 and 1998
was $229,000 and $265,000, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, net
-------------------
interest income was $2,903,000 compared to $2,717,000 for the first three months
of 1998. The increase is primarily the result of continued loan growth combined
with growth in loans and deposits as a result of the acquisition of Jefferson
National Bank in December 1998. Average rates earned generally remained
unchanged while average rates paid were lower during the first three months of
1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. During the first three months of 1999, the
-------------------------
Company increased its allowance for loan losses through a provision of $150,000.
The Company increased its allowance for loan losses during the same period of
1998 by $129,000. The increase is primarily due to overdraft charge-offs that
the Company expects to result from the insufficient funds fee program initiated
in March 1998.
The Company experienced net charge-offs of $52,000 in the first three months of
1999 compared to net recoveries of $20,000 in the same period in 1998.
See additional information related to the Company's loan operations in the
Allowance for Loan Loss section below.
OTHER INCOME. Non-interest income, excluding securities gains/losses,
------------
was $1,160,000 for the first three months of 1999 as compared to $964,000 in the
first three months of 1998. This increase is due to increases in service charges
primarily through the initiation of an insufficient funds fee program in March
1998, and an increase in trust revenues. The Company experienced net gains on
securities transactions for the first three months of 1999 of $187,000 as well
as net gains on securities transactions for the first three months of 1998 of
$26,000.
OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses for the three-month period
---------------
ended March 31, 1999 were $2,827,000 compared to $2,406,000 during the same
period in 1998. The increase in other expenses is due to the increase in salary
and related benefit expense resulting from the opening of an additional facility
in Chandler, Texas and the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank in Jefferson,
Texas. Other expenses also increased due to fees and expenses associated with
the insufficient funds fee program and the amortization of goodwill, which
increased due to the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank.
8
INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense for the first three months of 1999 was
------------
$229,000, compared to $265,000 in the same period in 1998. The effective tax
rate for the first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, was 18.0% and
22.6%. This effective rate is less than the statutory rate primarily because of
tax-free income provided from state and municipal bonds, leases and obligations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company's total assets at March 31, 1999 of $385,610,000 decreased slightly
from the total assets at December 31, 1998 of $386,919,000. The Company's loan
portfolio grew 2.3% to $132,181,000 at March 31, 1999, up from $129,263,000 at
December 31, 1998. Total deposits were $347,450,000 at March 31, 1999, compared
to the December 31, 1998 total of $345,720,000.
Equity capital of the Company, excluding unrealized gains or losses on
securities available for sale, as a percentage of total assets was 9.3% at March
31, 1999, and 9.3% at December 31, 1998. The risk-based Tier I and Total capital
ratios and the leverage ratio of Citizens National Bank amounted to 18.8%,
19.8%, and 8.3%, respectively at March 31, 1999 compared to 19.2%, 20.3%, and
8.8%, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At March 31, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents of $12,214,000
decreased significantly from the December 31, 1998 amount of $36,897,000. This
decrease was due to the transfer of funds to the investment portfolio. The
Company's stockholders' equity at March 31, 1999, of $35,793,000 remains at a
level considered to be adequate by management. Profits in excess of dividends
paid to shareholders are reflected in the increase in undivided profits from
1998.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES. The Company uses cash in the conduct
---------------------
of its day-to-day operations for such normal purposes as payroll, equipment and
facilities acquisition and maintenance, advertising, data processing, customer
service activity, and administrative activity. The Company generates cash from
operations primarily from service charges and the net interest earned from the
investment of customer deposits. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$1,333,000 and $1,108,000 for the first three months of 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES. The Company invests available funds
---------------------
primarily in securities and loans to customers. Funds not otherwise used are
invested in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand accounts, primarily
with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES. In addition to cash provided and used
---------------------
by operating and investing activities, the Company receives and disburses cash
in connection with customer deposit activities. From time to time, the Company
makes purchases of treasury stock. In the first quarter of 1999, 700 shares of
treasury stock were purchased in the amount of $11,000.
9
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was 1.34%
and 1.30% of outstanding loans, respectively. By its nature, the process through
which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance requires
considerable judgment. The determination of the necessary allowance, and
correspondingly the provision for loan losses, involves assumptions about
projections of national and local economic conditions, the composition of the
loan portfolio, and prior loss experience, in addition to other considerations.
As a result, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from the
current estimates. However, management believes that the allowance at March 31,
1999 is adequate to cover losses inherent in its loan portfolio. A migration
analysis and an internal classification system for loans also helps identify
potential problems, if any, that are not identified otherwise. From these
analyses, management determines which loans are potential candidates for
nonaccrual status, including impaired loan status, or charge-off. Management
continually reviews loans and classifies them consistent with the Comptroller's
guidelines to help ensure that an adequate allowance is maintained.
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based upon the inherent risks
in the various components of the loan portfolio. Amounts allocated to each
component are determined based on management's evaluations of concentrations of
credit risks, current and anticipated economic conditions, historical analyses,
and classification and estimated loss exposure assigned to specific credits.
These reserve allocations are subject to change as various economic conditions
dictate. The following table is an analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses.

=============== ==============
NON ACCRUAL, PAST DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS
- --------------------------------------------
The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans
whenever it is determined that reasonable doubt exists with respect to timely
collectibility of interest and principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status
if either material deterioration occurs in the financial position of the
borrower, payment in full of interest or principal is not anticipated, payment
in full of interest or principal is past due 90 days or more unless well
secured, payment in full of interest or principal on a loan is past due 180 days
or more, regardless of collateral, or the loan in whole or in part is classified
as doubtful. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of
collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status, interest is no longer accrued or included in interest income
and previously accrued income is reversed.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
- ----------------------------
The Company grants real estate, commercial, and industrial loans to customers
primarily in Henderson, Texas, and surrounding areas of east Texas. Although the
Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion (approximately
50.5% at March 31, 1999) of its loans are secured by real estate and its ability
to fully collect its loans is dependent upon the real estate market in this
region. The Company typically requires collateral sufficient in value to cover
the principal amount of the loan. Such collateral is evidenced by mortgages on
property held and readily accessible to the Company. See additional information
related to the composition of the Company's loan portfolio included in note 3 to
the consolidated financial statements.
SECURITIES
- ----------
The Investment Committee, under the guidance of the Company's Investment Policy,
assesses the short and long-term needs of the Company after consideration of
loan demand, interest rate factors, and prevailing market conditions.
Recommendations for purchases and other transactions are then made considering
safety, liquidity, and maximization of return to the Company. Management
determines the proper classification of securities at the time of purchase.
Securities that management does not intend to hold to maturity or that might be
sold under certain circumstances are classified as available for sale. If
management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of
purchase to hold the securities until maturity, the securities will be
classified as held to maturity.
The management strategy for securities is to maintain a very high quality
portfolio with generally short duration. The quality of the portfolio is
maintained with 77% of the total as of March 31, 1999 comprised of U.S.
Treasury, federal agency securities, and agency issued mortgage securities.
Treasury holdings are currently positioned in a ladder structure. Three-year
treasury bonds are purchased quarterly, held for two years, then sold with one
year left to maturity to take advantage of the slope in the yield curve. The
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and mortgage backed securities (MBS)
held by the company are backed by agency collateral which consists of loans
issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal National
Mortgage Corporation (FNMA), and the Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA) with a blend of fixed and floating rate coupons.
11
Credit risk is minimized through agency backing, however, there are other risks
associated with MBS and CMOs. These other risks include prepayment, extension,
and interest rate risk. MBS are securities that represent an undivided interest
in a pool of mortgage loans. CMOs are structured obligations that are derived
from a pool of mortgage loans or agency mortgage backed securities. CMOs in
general have widely varying degrees of risk, which results from the prepayment
risk on the underlying mortgage loans and its effect on the cash flows of the
security.
Prepayment risk is the risk of borrowers paying off their loans sooner than
expected in a falling rate environment by either refinancing or curtailment.
Extension risk is the risk that the underlying pool of loans will not exhibit
the expected prepayment speeds thus resulting in a longer average life and
slower cash flows than anticipated at purchase. Interest rate risk is based on
the sensitivity of yields on assets that change in a different time period or in
a different proportion from that of current market interest rates. Changes in
average life due to prepayments and changes in interest rates in general will
cause the market value of MBS and CMOs to fluctuate.
The Company's MBS portfolio consists of fixed rate balloon maturity pools with
short stated final maturities and adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) pools with
coupons that reset annually and have longer maturities. Investments in CMOs
consist mainly of Planned Amortization Classes (PAC), Targeted Amortization
Classes (TAC), and sequential classes. As of March 31, 1999, floating rate
securities made up 67% of the CMO portfolio. Support and liquidity classes with
longer average lives and floating rate coupons are a relatively small portion of
the portfolio.
To maximize after-tax income, investments in tax-exempt municipal securities are
utilized but with somewhat longer maturities.
At March 31, 1999, the Company's level of structured notes was insignificant.
Securities are the Company's single largest interest-earning asset representing
approximately 59% of total assets at March 31, 1999. The investment portfolio
totaled $225.5 million at March 31, 1999, up from $205.4 million at December 31,
1998.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT EFFECTIVE
- ---------------------------------------------------------
FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - This
Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. The Statement will be effective for the Company in the year
ending in 2000. Due to the Company's limited use of derivative instruments, the
effect of implementation of this new pronouncement is not expected to have a
significant effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
YEAR 2000
- ---------
The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue relates to the fact that many computer systems,
hardware and software, use a two digit field for the year. The concern is that
on January 1, 2000, a computer system may incorrectly interpret the year 2000 as
1900 causing various mathematical calculations to be wrong. Since 1996, the
Company has been actively preparing for the entry to the year 2000 in an effort
to minimize the impact of the Y2K issue to the Company and its customers. The
Company established a Y2K committee headed by a senior member of the staff. The
Y2K committee reviewed a list of the Company's equipment that might be affected
by any glitch caused by the date rollover to the year 2000 and developed a plan
to test all mission critical systems and remediate if necessary.
By March 31, 1999, the testing of the Company's information technology
systems, such as the main computer system, check sorter, LAN & WAN networks,
ATMs, PCs and core system software was substantially complete and all systems
have either tested compliant or the appropriate upgrade and enhancement has been
installed to remediate the identified problem. Additional testing will be
performed by June 30,1999 to provide an added comfort level that all systems are
ready to operate in the new millenium.
12
All the non-information technology systems, including security systems,
vaults, elevators and HVAC systems, have been listed and will be tested by June
30, 1999. Like the information technology systems, all of the systems reviewed
and tested to this point have been found to be Y2K compliant or an upgrade or
enhancement has been added to remediate the identified problem.
The Company has also assessed the Y2K risks related to outside companies
and businesses with which it relies to provide service to the Company's
customers. Two of the primary concerns are electrical and telephone service.
Representatives of the Company have been in contact with the various companies
that provide these services in each of its locations and believe, based on
representations given by third parties, that they will be able to provide
continuous service to the Company in the new millennium. As the Company has
become more reliant on its information technology system, the installation of a
diesel generator to provide backup electrical power to the main bank location
has been approved. The generator has been purchased and is scheduled to be
operational by June 30, 1999.
The third principal Y2K concern is the Company's correspondent relationship
with the Federal Reserve Bank for the transmission of electronic funds and wire
transfers. Testing with the Federal Reserve has been completed and all tests
have been completed as Y2K compliant. The Company also maintains accounts with
several major correspondent banks that could be used as alternate source for
wire transfers and clearing checks.
The cost of replacing non-compliant Y2K hardware and software in 1998 was
approximately $57,000. This amount does not include the purchase of a check
sorter and a phone system for the main bank at a cost of approximately $220,000,
as these items were targeted for replacement before it was determined that they
were not Y2K compliant. This amount includes the salary of a person who was
hired in 1998 to assist with the testing for Y2K, but does not include salary
expense for the personnel that were already on staff. During the first three
months of 1999, the Company spent approximately $16,000 on systems and testing
related to Y2K.
The impact of the Y2K issues on the Company will depend not only on the
corrective steps the Company takes, but will also depend on the way governmental
agencies and other businesses react. Notwithstanding the Company's best efforts,
there can be no assurance that all customers and third party vendors with whom
the Company conducts business will adequately address their Y2K issues. With
this in mind, the Company is developing contingency plans for implementation in
the event a significant third party vendor does not adequately address the Y2K
issues. These plans primarily involve using backup sites, alternate vendors or
internal remediation.
The Company has questioned various loan and deposit customers regarding
their Y2K readiness and related issues to anticipate how the liquidity of the
Company may be affected. The primary concerns of the Company are whether the Y2K
issue may result in depositors withdrawing funds and whether additional cash
reserves will be required to be on hand to fund liquidity needs of depositors.
The Company has established credit lines at several large correspondents in an
abundance of caution. The Company has reviewed its larger loan commitments to
assess the Company's potential exposure to any of its borrower's lack of Y2K
readiness. This credit risk will be used in calculating the provision for loan
loss.
The Company has attempted to address all known Y2K issues in a timely and
correct manner. Despite the Company's best efforts to accurately plan for the
Year 2000, the results could vary from these estimates if the Company has
unforeseen difficulties in a mission critical system and its ultimate
remediation.
CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

ownership, to foster its image as the community leader in banking, to increase
its market share through selected acquisitions and aggressive marketing, to
maintain a sound earning-asset portfolio, and to assess liquidity needs while
maximizing its profitability and return to its shareholders.
