International economic problems rolled through financial markets causing nearly a 2000 point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Investors sold stocks and bought bonds which resulted in interest rates dropping dramatically. With interest rates declining significantly, borrowers refinanced mortgages in record amounts and loan activity set new records. Closer to home, these low interest rates led to record highs in loan activity for the association. Loan originations were almost $65 million, a 49% increase over the previous year. With this record of originations, our loan portfolio grew $7.4 million with $14 million of loans sold in the secondary market. Growth was evident in other areas with total assets increasing $10.7 million or 6% and deposits increasing $8.7 million or 6.1%. Profitable growth has been and continues to be our primary objective. In this past year, net income reached a record high of $3.3 million, an increase of 14.6%, resulting in earnings per share increasing to $2.03 from $1.71, an 18.7% increase. The return on equity improved to 11.85% from 10.74% and the return on average assets reached a high of 1.78%. Our strong equity position, a ratio of 14.5% of capital to assets, continues to exceed industry standards. This past year also marked the third expansion of an existing branch office. The DeQueen Branch moved from a leased downtown facility into a newly constructed building located on U.S. Highway 70 West. Since moving into this new building in August 1997, deposits have increased 12% and loans have increased 19%. Also, our architect has completed the plans for a new branch office on Richmond Road in Texarkana. This new facility will be a full service facility and will be the first office in another state for the association. This branch is necessary as it will give us a location in the high growth area of Texarkana and allow us to better serve our existing Texas customers. Looking back over the past year,we were able to continue with positive measures to reduce our equity to asset ratio. An additional 111,000 company shares were purchased to be held as treasury shares and the quarterly dividend to stockholders was increased to $.16 per share. Together, this reduced our equity to asset ratio from 15.3% to 14.5%. In fiscal year 1999, we will continue to look for ways to enhance shareholder value. With the continued help of our depositors, borrowers, employees, directors and stockholders, we look forward to a profitable 1999. Sincerely, /s/ James W. McKinney James W. McKinney Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 1 CORPORATE PROFILE Texarkana First Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in March 1995 under Texas law for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock issued by First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Texarkana (the "Association") in connection with the Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association (the "Conversion"). The Conversion was consummated on July 7, 1995 and, as a result, the Company became a unitary savings and loan holding company for the Association. The Company has no significant assets other than the shares of the Association's common stock acquired in the Conversion and the loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan("ESOP") and has no significant liabilities. The business and management of the Company consists primarily of the business and management of the Association. The Company has no other subsidiaries and the Association has no subsidiaries. The Association is a federally chartered stock savings and loan association which conducts business through its main office and four full service branch offices. The Association is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds primarily to originate single-family (one- to-four units) residential loans and to a significantly lesser extent, nonresidential or commercial real estate loans, construction loans on primarily residential properties, consumer loans and multi-family loans. To a limited extent, the Association also invests in securities issued by the United States Government and agencies thereof and mortgage-backed securities. The Association derives its income principally from interest earned on loans and investments and, to a lesser extent, from fees received in connection with the origination of loans and for other services. The Association's primary expenses are interest expense on deposits and general operating expenses. Funds for activities are provided primarily by deposits, amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and other sources. The Association's goal is to continue to serve its market area of southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas as a community oriented, independent financial institution dedicated primarily to financing home ownership while providing needed financial services to its customers in an efficient manner. The Company's and the Association's executive offices are located at Third and Olive Streets, Texarkana, Arkansas 71854 and their telephone number is (870) 773-1103. 2 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data) Years Ended September 30 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- SUMMARY INCOME STATEMENT Interest income...........$ 14,678 $ 13,417 $ 12,745 $ 11,236 $ 9,528 Interest expense.......... 7,905 6,982 6,480 6,042 5,035 Net interest income....... 6,773 6,435 6,265 5,194 4,493 Provision for loan losses.

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the other sections contained in this Annual Report. The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest in- come, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's results of operations also are affected by the provision for loan losses, the level of its noninterest income and expenses, and income tax expense. Asset and Liability Management The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap," provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of interest- rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of rate sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap within shorter maturities would result in an increase in net interest income, and during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap within shorter maturities would result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap within shorter maturities would have the opposite effect. As of September 30, 1998, the Association estimates that its one-year gap was a negative 48.0% and its ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 67.6%. In order to minimize potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on the Company's results of operations, management has implemented and continues to monitor asset/liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of the Association's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Such policies have consisted primarily of: (i) emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans ("ARMs"); and (ii) selling its fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. The Association focuses its lending activities on the origination of one year adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, three-year and five-year adjustable rate residential mortgage loans. Although adjustable- rate loans involve certain risks, such loans decrease the risks associated with changes in interest rates. As a result of the Association's efforts, as of September 30, 1998, $93.3 million or 88.5% of the Association's portfolio of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans consisted of ARMs. 5 In order to offer a full range of loan products to its customers, the Association continues to originate fixed-rate loans and sell most of such loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). The Association also originates mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and mortgage loans guaranteed by the Office of Veterans Affairs("VA") and sells such loans to an independent mortgage company. During the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, such sales amounted to $13.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Such sales were conducted as a means of minimizing the interest rate risk associated with such loans. Deposits are the Association's primary funding source. The Association prices its deposit accounts based upon competitive factors and the availability of prudent lending and investment opportunities. Pursuant to this policy, the Association has generally neither engaged in sporadic increases or decreases in interest rates paid nor offered the highest rates available in its deposit market except upon specific occasions to control deposit flow or when market conditions have created opportunities to attract longer-term deposits. In addition, the Association does not pursue an aggressive growth strategy which would force the Association to focus exclusively on competitors' rates rather than deposit affordability. This policy has assisted the Association in controlling its cost of funds. Net Portfolio Value Management also presently monitors and evaluates the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Association's portfolio equity and the level of net interest income on a quarterly basis. The OTS adopted a final rule in August 1993 incorporating an interest rate risk component into the risk-based capital rules and under such rule, an institution with a greater than "normal" level of interest rate risk will be subject to a deduction of its interest rate component from total capital for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital requirement. An institution with a greater than "normal" interest rate risk is defined as an institution that would suffer a loss of net portfolio value ("NPV") exceeding 2.0% of the estimated market value of its assets in the event of a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. NPV is the difference between incoming and outgoing discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. A resulting change in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated market value of an institution's assets will require the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of that excess change. The rule provides that the OTS will calculate the interest rate risk component quarterly for each institution. The OTS has recently indicated that no institution will be required to deduct capital for interest rate risk until further notice. Small, highly capitalized institutions, such as the Association, which have less than $300 million of assets and a risk-based capital ratio in excess of 12% are not generally sub- ject to the interest rate risk component. Although First Federal is not subject to the interest rate risk component of the risk-based capital rules, the maturity/rate data is voluntarily submitted to the OTS so that management remains aware of the potential impact of interest rate changes as reported quarterly by the OTS in its interest rate risk exposure report. The following table presents First Federal's NPV as of September 30, 1998, as calculated by the OTS, based on information which was provided to the OTS by First Federal. 6 Net Portfolio Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Change in NPV As A Interest Rates Estimated % of PV Amount Percent (basis points) NPV of Assets of Change of Change - ---------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- ----------- (Dollars in Thousands) +400 bp $27,914 15.16% $-3,144 -10% +300 bp 29,479 15.76 -1,580 -5 +200 bp 30,455 16.08 -603 -2 +100 bp 30,904 16.15 -155 0 0 bp 31,058 16.08 -100 bp 31,245 16.03 +187 +1 -200 bp 31,703 16.09 +645 +2 -300 bp 32,413 16.25 +1,355 +4 -400 bp 33,219 16.43 +2,161 +7 Risk Measures: 200 bp Rate Shock 9-30-98 6-30-98 3-31-98 - ---------------------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- Pre-Shock NPV Ratio: NPV as % of PV of Assets 16.08% 16.21% 17.19% Exposure Measure: Post-Shock NPV Ratio 16.08% 15.41% 16.67% Sensitivity Measure: Change in NPV Ratio 0 bp 80 bp 52 bp 7 Changes in Financial Condition General. The Company's assets increased $10.7 million or 6.0% to $189.5 million at September 30, 1998 from $178.7 million at September 30, 1997. The increase was due primarily to increases of $7.3 million or 4.9% in loans receivable and $6.5 million or 30.7% in investments, which were partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million or 56.5% in cash and cash equivalents. The Company's total liabilities increased $10.7 million or 7.1% due primarily to increases of $8.7 million or 6.1% in deposits and $1.6 million or 32.3% in borrowed funds. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and federal funds sold decreased $3.4 million or 56.5% to $2.6 million at September 30, 1998 from $6.1 million at September 30, 1997. In addition to normal operating uses, the cash funds were used primarily to fund additional investments, payment of dividends and purchase of additional shares of Company common stock. Investments. Investments increased $6.5 million or 30.7% to $27.7 million at September 30, 1998 from $21.2 million at September 30, 1997. Proceeds from maturing investments were primarily reinvested in new investments. Loans Receivable. Loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $7.3 million or 4.9% to $155.8 million at September 30, 1998 from $148.5 million at September 30, 1997. The increase in loans was the result of increases of $8.0 million or 5.8% in real estate loans, $1.4 million or 11.9% in consumer loans and $.5 million or 19.2% in commercial loans. Nonperforming Assets. Total nonperforming assets decreased $58,000 or 14.3% to $349,000 or .18% of total assets at September 30, 1998 compared to $407,000 or .23% of total assets at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1998, nonperforming loans were $293,000 or .19% of total loans compared to $280,000 or .19% of total loans at September 30, 1997. Foreclosed real estate owned decreased $71,000 or 55.9% to $56,000 at September 30, 1998 from $127,000 at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was $1.0 million or .64% of total loans and 342.32% of nonperforming loans compared to $1.1 million or .76% of total loans and 401.43% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 1997. Net charge-offs were $21,000 for both fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Deposits. Deposits increased $8.7 million or 6.1% to $152.0 million at September 30, 1998 from $143.2 million at September 30, 1997. The increase in deposits was the result of increases of $7.1 million or 5.7% in certificates of deposit, $1.0 million or 19.3% in savings accounts, $481,000 or 6.4% in money market accounts and $149,000 or 2.3% in NOW accounts. The additional deposits were used primarily to fund increased loan demand and additional investments. Borrowed Funds. Total borrowings increased $1.6 million or 32.3% to $6.6 million at September 30, 1998 from $5.0 million at September 30, 1997. Borrowings, from the FHLB of Dallas, were utilized to purchase and hold previously purchased GNMA adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity remained at $27.4 million at September 30, 1998, primarily the result of retained earnings which was partially offset by the purchase of additional treasury shares at a cost of $2.9 million. Net income increased $422,000 or 14.6% to $3.3 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $2.9 million for fiscal 1997. The ratio of stock- holders' equity to total assets was 14.5% at September 30, 1998 compared to 15.3% at September 30, 1997. 8 Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the interest income and rates earned on average interest-earning assets, the interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest income and net interest margin which is net interest income divided by average interest- earning assets. Since interest-earning assets do not include any tax-exempt securities except for applicable state income taxes, income and rates include no adjustment for a tax-equivalent basis.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which changes in volume and changes in interest rates of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected interest income and expense during the periods indicated. Volume change is computed by multiplying the change in volume by the prior year rate. Rate change is computed by multiplying the change in rate by the prior year volume. Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate are allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

The Company's net income was $3.3 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $2.9 million for fiscal 1997. The increase of $422,000 or 14.6% during fiscal 1998 was primarily due to increases of $338,000 in net interest income and $396,000 in noninterest income and a $100,000 credit to provision for loan losses, all of which were partially offset by increases of $329,000 in noninterest expense and $83,000 in income tax expense. For fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997, net income per common share was $2.03 and $1.71, respectively (diluted $1.94 and $1.68, respectively). Return on average assets was 1.78% and 1.71%, respectively, and return on average equity was 11.85% and 10.74%, respectively. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased $338,000 or 5.3% to $6.8 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $6.4 million for fiscal 1997. The increase was due to an increase of $1.3 million or 9.4% in interest income which was partially offset by an increase of $923,000 or 13.2% in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities and an increase in the average rate. For fiscal year 1998 compared to fiscal year 1997, the net interest margin was 3.74% and 3.90%, respectively, and the net interest spread was 2.95% and 3.11%, respectively. Interest Income. During fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997, total interest income increased $1.3 million or 9.4% primarily due to an increase in average balance. The average balance of total earning assets increased $16.2 million to $181.2 million from $165.0 million and the average yield declined to 8.10% from 8.13%. The increase in total interest income was due to increases in income on loans and income on investments. Interest income on loans increased $767,000 or 6.4% of which $681,000 was due to an increase in average balance and $86,000 was due to an increase in average yield. The increase in the average balance of loans to $149.8 million from $141.8 million was due to increased loan demand while the increase in the average yield to 8.52% from 8.46% primarily reflects market interest rates and the result of sales of lower fixed rate loans during the first half of fiscal 1998. Interest income on investments (including mortgage-backed securities) increased $494,000 or 34.8% of which $507,000 was due to an increase in average balance, partially offset by a decrease of $13,000 due to a decline in average yield. Interest Expense. During fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997, total interest expense increased $923,000 or 13.2% of which $801,000 was due to an increase in average balance and $122,000 due to an increase in average rate. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.2 million to $153.4 million from $139.2 million and the average rate increased to 5.15% from 5.02%. The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to an increase in interest on deposits which increased $608,000 or 8.8% of which $485,000 was due to an increase in average balance and $123,000 due to an increase in average rate to 5.13% from 5.01%. Interest on borrowed funds increased $315,000 of which $316,000 was due to an increase in average balance, partially offset by a decrease of $1,000 due to a decline in the average rate to 5.63% from 5.72%. 11 Provision for Loan Losses. During fiscal 1998, the allowance for loan losses was reduced by $100,000 with a credit to the provision for loan losses. The adjustment reduced the amount of the unallocated reserve allowance. No charge has been made to provision for loan losses since March 1995. During this time, asset quality remained consistently favorable with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of .19%, .19%, and .15% at September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon prior loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Association, industry standards, past due loans and the current economic conditions in the market area. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $396,000 or 52.5% to $1.15 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $755,000 for fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans, loan origination fees and service charge income. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for comparison of other noninterest income items. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $329,000 or 12.6% to $2.9 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $2.6 million for fiscal 1997. The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits expense and occupancy expense. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to a $167,000 or 15.5% increase in compensation and a $96,000 or 18.9% increase in benefits. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to the addition of 4 employees - one in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, one in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and two in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase in benefits expense was due primarily to expenses related to the ESOP and the employee and director stock benefit plans. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for comparison of other noninterest expense items. Income Taxes. Income tax expense amounted to $1.8 million for fiscal 1998 and $1.7 million for fiscal 1997, resulting in effective tax rates of 35.1% and 37.1% respectively. The lower effective tax rate for 1998 was due to a $15,000 state tax refund, the $100,000 credit to provision for loan losses and the increased fair market value of vested Management Recognition Plan shares. The credit to provision for loan losses has the effect of tax free income since the provision, for tax purposes, is based on the experience method rather than the recorded provision amount. The Company's recorded expense for the vested Management Recognition Plan shares is limited to the fair market value at the date of award, but the allowable deduction, for tax purposes, is the fair market value at the date of vesting. The vested value in excess of the award value (an unrecorded, tax deductible, expense) was $202,000 in fiscal 1998 and $58,000 in fiscal 1997. The average award price is $14.50 per share and the average vested value per share was $27.34 in fiscal 1998 and $16.08 in fiscal 1997. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Comparison of Results of Operations for Years Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 General. The Company's net income was $2.9 million for fiscal 1997 compared to $2.4 million for fiscal 1996. The increase of $483,000 or 20.1% during fiscal 1997 was primarily due to an increase of $170,000 in net interest income, an increase of $2,000 in noninterest income and a decrease of $731,000 in noninterest expense, all of which were partially offset by an increase in income tax expense. For fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996, net income per common share was $1.71 and $1.31, respectively (diluted $1.68 and $1.31, respectively). Return on average assets was 1.71% and 1.46%, respectively, and return on average equity was 10.74% and 7.34%, respectively. Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased $170,000 or 2.7% to $6.4 million for fiscal 1997 compared to $6.3 million for fiscal 1996. The increase was due to an increase of $672,000 or 5.3% in interest income which was partially offset by an increase of $502,000 or 7.7% in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in both the average balance of and average yield on interest earning assets while the increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decline in the average rate. For fiscal year 1997 compared to fiscal year 1996, the net interest margin was 3.90% and 3.90%, respectively, and the net interest spread was 3.11% and 2.88%, respectively. 12 Interest Income. During fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996, total interest income increased $672,000 or 5.3% of which $568,000 was due to an increase in average balance and $104,000 was due to an increase in average yield. The average balance of total earning assets increased $4.3 million to $165.0 million from $160.8 million and the average yield increased to 8.13% from 7.93%. The increase in total interest income was due to an increase in income on loans, partially offset by a decrease in income on investments. Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million or 10.6% of which $1.0 million was due to an increase in average balance and $.1 million was due to an increase in average yield. The increase in the average balance of loans to $141.8 million from $129.2 million was due to increased loan demand while the increase in the average yield to 8.46% from 8.40% primarily reflects the increase in market interest rates, particularly during the first half of fiscal 1997. Interest income on investments decreased $474,000 or 27.3% of which $505,000 was due to a decrease in average balance, partially offset by an increase of $31,000 due to an increase in average yield. Interest Expense. During fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996, total interest expense increased $502,000 or 7.7% of which $584,000 was due to an increase in average balance, partially offset by $82,000 due to a decline in average rate. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $10.9 million to $139.2 million from $128.3 million and the average rate declined to 5.02% from 5.05%. The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to an increase in interest on deposits which increased $463,000 or 7.2% of which $545,000 was due to an increase in average balance, partially offset by a decrease of $82,000 due to a decline in average rate to 5.01% from 5.05%. Provision for Loan Losses. No provisions were made for loan losses during fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996. The $177,000 provision for loan losses during fiscal 1995 was due primarily to management's assessment at such time of an increased risk of loss in light of a proposed closing of a major local employer which employed approximately 2,500 persons in 1995 and approximately 1,600 persons in 1997. However, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission removed the depot from the closure list but proposed a transfer of certain operations to another depot. The reduction due to base realignments was completed October 1997 and resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 600 employees. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $2,000 or .3% to $755,000 for fiscal 1997 compared to $753,000 for fiscal 1996. Such increase was primarily due to increases in service charge income and gain on sale of loans, and decreases of loan origination fees and various other noninterest income items. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for comparison of other noninterest income items. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $731,000 or 21.9% to $2.6 million for fiscal 1997 compared to $3.3 million for fiscal 1996. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in SAIF deposit insurance premium and legal and professional expense, which were partially offset by an increase in compensa- tion and benefits expense. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to a $91,000 or 9.3% increase in compensation and a $215,000 or 42.9% increase in benefits. The increase in compensation expense was the result of adding two additional staff members and normal salary and merit increases. The increase in benefits expense was due primarily to expenses related to the ESOP and the employee and director stock benefit plans. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for comparison of other noninterest expense items. Income Taxes. Income tax expense amounted to $1.7 million for fiscal 1997 and $1.3 million for fiscal 1996, resulting in effective tax rates of 37.1% and 34.8% respectively. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 13 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Association's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, sales of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Association manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance. In addition, the Association invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Association has generally been able to generate enough cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, to offset the cash utilized in lending and investing activities. As an additional source of funds, the Association may borrow from the FHLB of Dallas and has utilized this source of funds with borrowings of $6.6 million, $5.0 million and $2.9 million at September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. All savings institutions are required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all savings institutions. At the present time, the required minimum liquid asset ratio is 4%. At September 30, 1998, the Association's liquidity ratio was 11.30%. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, the Association maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products such as single-family residential loans. The Association uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals and fund loan commitments. At September 30, 1998, the total approved loan commitments outstanding, excluding construction loans, amounted to $5.7 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $5.8 million. At September 30, 1998, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $96.8 million and investment securities scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $2.1 million. Management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Association. As of September 30, 1998, the Association's regulatory capital was well in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements. See "Selected Financial Data" and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 14 Recent Accounting Developments In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS no. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requiring companies to provide new disclosures about employee stock options in the form of a note to the financial statements based on their fair value at the date of grant. Companies are permitted to switch to the fair value method to record compensation cost for new and modified employee stock options. Since options granted to employees generally are not traded on an exchange, companies are required to use recognized option pricing models to estimate the fair values. Valuations of option pricing models depend on such factors as the relationship of the underlying stock's price to the price of the option, expected dividend yields, expected volatility of the Company's stock price, the expected level of risk-free interest rates and the expected time remaining until the option expires. Valuations of the same pricing model could change if different assumptions were made. Option values are dependent on the future performance of the Company's stock and overall stock market conditions and there can be no assurance that the calculated values from an option pricing model will be realized. Companies are, however, allowed to measure compensation cost of all employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting. Companies that elect to remain with the existing accounting are required to make disclosures as if this statement had been adopted. The new disclosures are required in financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier application permitted. The disclosures must include the proforma effects of options and other awards granted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The Company, as permitted, has elected not to adopt the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS 123 and will continue to apply APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for plans and provide the required proforma disclosures of SFAS 123. In February 1997, the FASB issued final standards on earnings per share ("EPS") under two new pronouncements, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 and SFAS 129 which include standards for computing and presenting EPS and for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The standards for EPS apply to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock, while the standards for disclosure about capital structure apply to all entities. The standards eliminate the presentation of primary EPS and require presentation of basic EPS, the principal difference being that common stock equivalents will not be considered in the computation of basic EPS. The standards also require dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and require a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS would include no dilution and would be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS would reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the potential common shares were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The standards require restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. SFAS 128 and SFAS 129 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and earlier application is not permitted. 15 In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. It requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income (including, for example, unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities) be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. It requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement, and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from net worth and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". This statement requires disclosures for each segment that are similar to those required under current standards with the addition of quarterly disclosure requirements and a finer partitioning of geographic disclosures. It requires limited segment data on a quarterly basis. It also requires geographic data by country, as opposed to broader geographic regions as permitted under current standards. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. Since the statement is limited to additional disclosure, adoption of the statement will not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operation. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". This statement revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. It standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer as useful as they were when prior FASB statements were issued. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Since the statement is disclosure related, it will not have an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. Entities are required to carry all derivative instruments in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (that is, gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it. SFAS No. 133 is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after June 15, 1999. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 16 Recent Legislation Deposits of the Association are currently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the federal deposit insurance fund that covers commercial bank deposits, are required by law to attain and thereafter maintain a reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits. The previously underfunded status of the SAIF resulted in the introduction of federal legislation intended to, among other things, recapitalize the SAIF and address the resulting premium disparity between the two insurance funds. On September 30, 1996, The Omnibus Appropriations Act was signed into law. The legislation authorized a one-time charge on SAIF insured institutions in the amount of .657 dollars for every one hundred dollars of assessable deposits. Additional provisions of the Act include new BIF and SAIF premiums and the merger of BIF and SAIF. The new BIF and SAIF premiums will include a premium for repayment of the Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds plus any regular insurance assessment, currently nothing for the lowest risk category institutions. Until full pro-rata FICO sharing is in effect, the FICO premiums for BIF and SAIF will be 1.3 and 6.4 basis points, respectively, beginning January 1, 1997. Full pro-rata FICO sharing is to begin no later than January 1, 2000. BIF and SAIF are to be merged on January 1, 1999, provided the bank and savings association charters are merged by that date. As a result of this legislation, the Association's assessment amounted to $835,000 which was included in expense in September, the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, and paid in November, the first quarter of fiscal 1997. While the one-time special assessment resulted in a significant reduction of the fiscal 1996 earnings, the resulting lower premiums benefited the fiscal 1998 and 1997 earnings and will continue to benefit future years earnings. In August 1996, the Small Business Job Protection Act was signed into law. This act repealed the percentage method of computing the bad debt deduction for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. The state of Arkansas repealed the deduction effective for years beginning after January 1, 1997. If certain conditions apply, the Company would have to include in income pre- vious bad debt deductions. For federal tax purposes the conditions do not apply, and so long as the Association (the Company's subsidiary) continues to qualify as a thrift or a bank no repayment of the tax on prior bad debt deduct- ions will be required. Should the Association fail to qualify as a thrift or bank, the tax would have to be repaid ratably over a six year period. The Association is currently in no jeopardy of failing to qualify as a thrift or bank. The Company will have to repay tax on approximately $1.5 million of bad debt deductions for state tax purposes. The Company has made provision of $89,000 for this tax and expects this repayment to have no further effect on income. In July, 1997, congress passed the 1997 Tax Law which contained both individual and business tax provisions. Although the majority of the law's provisions relate to individuals, it also contains several business related provisions. Business related provisions include extensions of special tax credits that were scheduled to expire in 1997, a new welfare-to-work tax credit, modification of alternative minimum tax provisions, a change in the net operating carryforward/carryback periods, new rules affecting IRAs and modifications of rules affecting tax-qualified retirement plans and certain other retirement savings vehicles. The 1997 Tax Law will have no material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company's and the Association's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does the effect of inflation. 17 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS November 16, 1998 The Board of Directors and Stockholders Texarkana First Financial Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Texarkana First Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Texarkana First Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Savings and Loan Association of Texarkana (the "Association") adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan to a federally chartered stock savings and loan with the concurrent formation of Texarkana First Financial Corporation (the "Company"), a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Conversion was completed on July 7, 1995. Texarkana First Financial Corporation issued 1,983,750 shares of its common stock in a public offering to the Association's eligible depositors and borrowers and the Texarkana First Financial Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP) and resulted in proceeds to the Company of $17,755 net of $694 of costs associated with the Conversion. Business The Company's principal subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Texarkana, is a federally-chartered stock savings and loan conducting business from its main office in Texarkana, Arkansas and from four branch offices located in Arkansas. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and other companies that provide financial services. The Company and the Association are subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Association. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made in order to conform with the current year's presentation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate owned, and the valuation of deferred tax assets as well as the effect of prepayments on premiums and discounts associated with investments and mortgage-related securities. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of other real estate owned and deferred tax assets are adequate, and that the effect of prepayments on premiums and discounts associated with investments and mortgage-related securities has been adequately evaluated. Various agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and valuation of other real estate owned. Cash For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities when purchased of three months or less. 24 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Assets Available for Sale Included in assets available for sale are any investments which the Company believes may be involved in interest rate risk, liquidity, or other asset/liability management decisions which might reasonably result in such assets not being held until maturity. Investments available for sale are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses included, net of income tax, in stockholders' equity. During the year ended September 30, 1997 the company started a policy of using Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances to purchase Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) adjustable rate mortgages (ARMS). The Company structures the ARMS so that a portion of the portfolio reprices quarterly to offset any rise in the interest rate charged by the FHLB. The ARMS will be liquidated to pay off the advances should the cost of borrowing exceed the return on the ARMS. Investments and Mortgage-Related Securities Investments and mortgage-related securities, including equity securities that are not readily marketable, are stated at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using a method which approximates level yield. Management has the ability and the intent to hold such securities until maturity. The Company is required to maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas ("FHLB") in an amount equal to 1% of mortgage loans secured by residential property. Such stock is carried by the Company at cost. Loans Receivable Loans held to maturity are stated at the amount of the unpaid principal balance net of capitalized loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs. Loan fees in excess of the direct cost of originating the loan that result in income in excess of the market rate are deferred and taken into income over the contractual life of the loan on a level yield basis. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to provide for potential losses based upon evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, various agencies as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of information that is available to them at the time of their examination. Accrued Interest Interest on loans is credited to income as it is earned. Generally, interest income is not accrued for loans delinquent 90 days or greater. Payments received on nonaccrual and impaired loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance. The Company does not recognize interest on impaired loans. Foreclosed Real Estate Held for Sale Real estate acquired through foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned. Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is generally determined through the use of independent appraisals. In certain cases, internal cash flow analysis are used as the basis for fair value, if such amounts are lower than the appraised values. 25 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are generally computed on the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization are 40 to 50 years for buildings and 5 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. Mortgage Servicing Rights Effective October 1, 1996, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." This standard requires the Company to recognize servicing rights as assets, regardless of how such assets were acquired. Additionally, the Company is required to assess the fair value of these assets at each reporting date to determine impairment. Mortgage servicing rights are being amortized on a straight line basis over periods not exceeding 8 years. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for future deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Earnings Per Common Share In December 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The Statement specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities with publicly held common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with a presentation of earnings per common share and fully diluted earnings per share with earnings per common share - assuming dilution. All earnings per share data is stated to reflect the adoption of the Statement. Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share - assuming dilution is computed by increasing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period by the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares of the Company include the Employees' and the Directors' stock option plans. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93- 6, "Employers' Accounting For Employee Stock Ownership Plans", which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, this differential will be charged or credited to equity. Management expects the recorded amount of expense to fluctuate as continuing adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of the ESOP shares. ESOP shares are considered outstanding as they are committed to be released for purposes of computing earnings per share 26 Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Stock - Based Compensation In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS 123). This statement encourages, but does not require, the adoption of fair value accounting for stock based compensation to employees. The Company, as permitted, has elected not to adopt the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS 123, and has instead continued to apply APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for plans and provide the required proforma disclosures of SFAS 123. Impact of New Accounting Standards The FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier implementation allowed. The new standard requires an entity to report and display comprehensive income and its components. The Company's comprehensive income will include net income plus net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities. The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier implementation allowed. The new standard specifies revised guidelines for determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial information to be disclosed. The FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier implementation encouraged. This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pensions and other post retirement benefit plans. The Statement does not change the measurement or recognition of these plans. The FASB issued FASB No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier application encouraged. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. The Company opted to delay adoption of these statements until required. The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on financial conditions, results of operations, or cash flows reported by the Company.

Note 9 - Borrowed Funds During the years ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997, the company obtained advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The advances are under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB. Security for the advances is a blanket security agreement pledging first mortgage loans. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company owed the FHLB $6,600 and $4,967, respectively. Of the outstanding balance at September 30, 1998, $1,600 bears interest at 5.275% and matures October 29, 1998, and $5,000 bears interest at 4.37% and matures September 28, 2008. The long-term loan is callable by the Federal Home Loan Bank on September 28, 2000 and quarterly thereafter. 31 Note 10 - Federal and State Income Taxes The Company and the Association file consolidated federal and state income tax returns on a fiscal year basis. In prior years for purposes of computing federal income tax, the Association was allowed a special bad debt deduction of 8% of taxable income or a specified amount based on experience formulas. The Association used the percentage method for the period ended September 30, 1996. As a result of the use of the percentage method, retained earnings include approximately $2,625 and $2,502 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amounts was approximately $1,024 at September 30, 1998 and $982 at September 30, 1997. In August 1996, the "Small Business Job Protection Act" was signed into law. This act repealed the percentage method of computing the bad debt deduction for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995 and in certain circumstances requires the repayment of bad debt deductions previously taken. As long as the Company's subsidiary continues to qualify as a thrift or a bank no repayment of the tax on prior bad debt deductions will be required for federal tax purposes. The state of Arkansas repealed the deduction effective for years beginning after January 1, 1997. The Company is repaying the state tax on approximately $1,523 of bad debt deductions over a six year period. The Company has made provision for this tax in prior financial statements and repayment will have no effect on income. Income tax expense for the years indicated consisted of the following: September 30, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Current: Federal $ 1,491 $ 1,142 $ 1,380 State 220 207 198 -------- -------- -------- $ 1,711 $ 1,349 $ 1,578 -------- -------- -------- Deferred: Federal $ 71 $ 317 $ (289) State 3 36 (7) -------- -------- -------- $ 74 $ 353 $ (296) -------- -------- -------- Total provisions $ 1,785 $ 1,702 $ 1,282 ======== ======== ======== A reconciliation of tax expense computed by applying the statutory corporate tax rate to earnings before taxes and the tax expense shown in the accompanying statements of operations is as follows: September 30, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Effective federal and state statutory rates 38.3% 38.3% 38.3% -------- -------- -------- Expected tax at statutory rates $ 1,949 $ 1,756 $ 1,411 Adjustments to expected tax: Bad debt deductions (38) -- (136) Interest not taxable for state (45) (30) (39) Employee benefit plan differences (61) (22) 27 Other (20) (2) 19 -------- -------- -------- $ 1,785 $ 1,702 $ 1,282 ======== ======== ======== Effective tax rates 35.1% 37.1% 34.8% ======== ======== ======== 32 Note 10 - Federal and State Income Taxes - continued The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows: September 30, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Deferred loan fees $ 44 $ 40 $ 40 Special one time SAIF assessment -- -- 284 State deferred income tax 56 58 46 Employee benefit plans 94 89 68 Other 29 -- 6 -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax assets $ 223 $ 187 $ 444 -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets $ (418) $ (430) $ (442) Federal Home Loan Bank stock (204) (176) (150) State bad debt reserves (83) (94) (63) Mortgage servicing rights (72) (11) -- Other (86) (42) (2) -------- -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities $ (863) $ (753) $ (657) -------- -------- -------- Net deferred tax liabilities $ (640) $ (566) $ (213) ======== ======== ======== Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies As of September 30, 1998, the Company is committed to the funding of approximately $11,466 of loans. The Company had off balance sheet financial instruments representing credit risk in the form of unfunded lines of credit in the amount of $425 at September 30, 1998 and $427 at September 30, 1997. Note 12 - Special Dividend Payment During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company received a private letter ruling from the IRS addressing the tax implications of dividends paid during that year. The private letter ruling stated that dividends from the Company were not taxable to the recipient to the extent they exceeded earnings and profits. During that year the Company paid total dividends of three dollars and forty-five cents per share or $6,475. Of this amount $326 was determined to be a payment from accumulated earnings and $6,149 was determined to be a return of capital to the shareholders. Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans The Association has a contributory defined contribution pension plan for all eligible employees. Retirement benefits under this form of pension plan are limited to the value of each participant's account at the time of retirement; therefore, vested benefits will not exceed the value of the participant's account at any time. The cost of the plan for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, was approximately $5 and $5, respectively. In connection with the Conversion, as discussed in Note 1, the Company established the ESOP for the benefit of eligible employees. The Company purchased 138,862 shares of common stock on behalf of the ESOP in the Conversion. In December 1996, the Company purchased an additional 26,730 shares with the proceeds from dividends on the unallocated ESOP shares. As of September 30, 1998, 12,420 shares were committed to be released and 40,218 shares have been allocated to participants. The fair value of the 112,954 unearned ESOP shares was $2,531 at September 30, 1998. 33 Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans - continued The Company recorded compensation related to the ESOP of $411 for the year ended September 30, 1998 and $311 for the year ended September 30, 1997. On December 27, 1995, the Board approved an Employee Stock Program, Management Recognition Plans (MRP) for officers and directors, and a Directors Stock Option Plan subject to the approval of the stockholders. The shareholders approved these plans at the January 1996 shareholders meeting. The purpose of these plans is to retain personnel of experience and ability by providing employees and non-employee directors with compensation for their past services and as an incentive for such services in the future. As of September 30, 1998 the Company has acquired 65,135 shares of its common stock on behalf of the MRP through open market purchases. An aggregate of 64,935 shares, net of forfeitures, have been awarded to the Company's Board of Directors and officers as of September 30, 1998, subject to vesting and other provisions of the MRP. At September 30, 1998 the deferred cost of unearned MRP shares totaled $609 and is recorded as a charge against stockholders' equity. Compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the five year vesting period only for those shares awarded. The Company recorded compensation and employee benefit expense related to the MRP of $188 for the year ended September 30, 1998 and $193 for the year ended September 30, 1997. Common stock totaling 39,676 shares have been granted and may be exercised by the Company's non-employee directors, subject to vesting and other provisions of the Directors' Stock Option Plan. No options were granted in the year ended September 30, 1998. During the year ended September 30, 1997, 3,968 options were granted and may be exercised, subject to vesting at fifteen dollars and twelve and one half cents per share. During the year ended September 30, 1996, 35,708 options were granted and may be exercised, subject to vesting, at fourteen dollars and twenty-five cents per share. Common stock totaling 136,588 shares, net of forfeitures and shares exercised, has been granted to the Company's key employees. These shares may be exercised by the Company's key employees, subject to vesting and other provisions of the Employee Stock Program. No shares were awarded during the year ended September 30, 1998. During the year ended September 30, 1997, 11,000 options, net of forfeitures, were granted and may be exercised, subject to vesting, at twenty one dollars and twenty five cents per share. During the year ended September 30, 1996, 125,588 options, net of forfeitures and shares exercised, were granted and may be exercised, subject to vesting, at thirteen dollars and seventy-five cents per share. As stated in note 1, The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS 123, and has instead continued to apply APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for plans and provide the required proforma disclosures of SFAS 123. Had the grant date fair value provisions of SFAS 123 been adopted, for the year ended September 30, 1998, additional compensation of $150 would have been recognized, net income would have been $3,156, and earnings per common share would have been $1.94. For the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company would have recognized additional compensation of $137, net income would have been $2,747, and earnings per common share would have been $1.63. 34 Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans-continued The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted in the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. Weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1997 were, dividend yields of 3.00%, expected volatility of 60% and 64%, risk free interest rate of 6.51% and 6.04%, and expected lives of 7 and 8 years. Weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1996 were, dividend yields of 3.00%, expected volatility of 65% and 70%, risk free interest rate of 5.57% and 6.86%, and expected lives of 7 and 8 years. A summary of the status of the Company's two fixed stock option plans as of September 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996 and changes during the years then ended is as follows: September 30, --------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price ------- -------- ------- -------- ------- -------- Outstanding beginning of year 177,864 $14.387 163,896 $13.859 -- $ -- Granted -- -- 15,968 19.728 163,896 13.859 Exercised (600) 13.750 -- -- -- -- Forfeited (1,000) 21.250 (2,000) 13.750 -- -- ------- ------- ------- Outstanding end of year 176,264 $14.350 177,864 $14.387 163,896 $13.859 ======= ======= ======= Options exercisable at year end 67,146 $14.118 27,084 $13.882 -- $ -- Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ -- $ 5.36 $ 4.10 Shares outstanding at September 30, 1998 and the contractual life of those shares is as follows: Remaining Number Contractual Outstanding Life ----------- ----------- Exercise Prices $13.750 125,588 8.0 $14.250 35,708 7.3 $15.125 3,968 8.3 $21.250 11,000 8.8 ----------- ----------- Total shares and weighted average contractual life 176,264 7.9 =========== =========== 35 Note 14 - Regulatory Matters The plan of Conversion described in Note 1 provides for the establishment of a special liquidation account for the benefit of eligible account holders and the supplemental eligible account holders in an amount equal to the net worth of the Association as of the date of its latest statement of financial condition contained in the final offering circular used in connection with the conversion. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Association after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced from time to time to the extent that qualifying account balances are reduced. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible and supplemental eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The Company may not declare or pay cash dividends on its shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause the Company's stockholders' equity to be reduced below applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements for insured institutions or below the special liquidation account referred to above. The Company's subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the subsidiary must met specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the subsidiary's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The subsidiary's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to adjusted total assets (as defined in the regulations), tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of total risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of September 30, 1998, that the subsidiary meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of June 30, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the subsidiary as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the subsidiary must maintain minimum tier 1, tier I risk-based, total risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institutions category. In the following table tier 1 capital is computed as a percentage of adjusted total assets of $188,847, at September 30, 1998, and $178,477, at September 30, 1997. Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital are computed as a percent of total risk weighted assets of $114,840, for the year ended September 30, 1998, and $108,635, for the year ended September 30, 1997. 36 Note 14 - Regulatory Matters - continued The following sets forth the unconsolidated subsidiary's compliance with each of the regulatory capital requirements as of September 30, 1998 and 1997. Minimum for Minimum To Be Actual Capital Adequacy Well Capitalized --------------- ---------------- ---------------- Minimum Minimum Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------- ------ ------- ------ ------- ------ As of September 30, 1998: Tier 1 or leverage capital (to adjusted total assets) $26,991 14.29% $ 7,554 4.00% $ 9,442 5.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets) $26,991 23.50% $ 4,594 4.00% $ 6,890 6.00% Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets) $27,627 24.06% $ 9,187 8.00% $11,484 10.00% As of September 30, 1997: Tier 1 or leverage capital (to adjusted total assets) $26,797 15.01% $ 7,139 4.00% $ 8,924 5.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets) $26,797 24.67% $ 4,345 4.00% $ 6,518 6.00% Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets) $27,553 25.36% $ 8,691 8.00% $10,864 10.00% Note 15 - Earnings Per Common Share A reconciliation of earnings per common share to earnings per common share assuming dilution is as follows: September 30, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Earnings per common share: Net income applicable to common stock $ 3,306 $ 2,884 $ 2,401 ======== ======== ======== Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, in thousands 1,627 1,687 1,832 ======== ======== ======== Earnings per common share $ 2.03 $ 1.71 $ 1.31 ======== ======== ======== Earnings per common share - assuming dilution: Net income applicable to common stock $ 3,306 $ 2,884 $ 2,401 ======== ======== ======== Weighted average number of common shares outstanding, in thousands 1,627 1,687 1,832 Effect of dilutive securities: Weighted average shares issuable under the Director's stock option plan (thousands) 18 6 1 Weighted average shares issuable under the Employee's stock option plan (thousands) 63 27 -- -------- -------- -------- Weighted average shares adjusted (thousands) 1,708 1,720 1,833 ======== ======== ======== Earnings per common share - assuming dilution $1.94 $1.68 $1.31 ======== ======== ======== 37 Note 16 - Other Noninterest Income and Expense Other noninterest income and expense amounts are summarized as follows: September 30, ------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- Other noninterest income: Service charges on deposits $ 172 $ 156 $ 123 Other service charges and fees 122 95 88 Service fees on loans sold 93 83 85 Other 60 82 103 -------- -------- -------- $ 447 $ 416 $ 399 ======== ======== ======== Other noninterest expense: Data processing charges $ 113 $ 108 $ 112 Advertising 65 67 54 Professional fees 56 76 116 OTS assessments 55 48 51 Stationary, printing, postage, and telephone 95 84 79 Insurance and bond premiums 45 43 42 Other 111 94 95 -------- -------- -------- $ 540 $ 520 $ 549 ======== ======== ======== Note 17 - Recent Legislation In September 1996, the Omnibus Appropriations Act was signed into law. This legislation authorized a one time charge of SAIF-insured institutions in the amount of .657 dollars for every one hundred dollars of assessable deposits, and an eventual merger of the SAIF and Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). The Company included in expense $835 in the year ended September 30, 1996, related to this legislation. Note 18 - Related Party Transactions The Company had a total of $829 and $425 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, in direct loans to officers and directors. New loans totaled $520 and $180, and repayments totaled $116 and $212 for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company purchases a major portion of its insurance coverage from a company partially owned by two Board Members. The Company paid $40, $41, and $56 for such coverage, during the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company paid $72, $72, and $72 to directors for director's fees during the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996 respectively. Note 19 - Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company invests a portion of its cash in deposit accounts with various financial institutions in amounts which may exceed the insured amount of $100. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the financial institutions in which it invests deposits and periodically assesses its credit risk with respect to these accounts. The Company also sells federal funds to other institutions to maximize interest earned on idle cash. Federal funds sold are unsecured loans to the purchasing institution. In the case of an insolvency, the Company would be at risk for federal funds sold to the insolvent institution. Federal funds sold totaled $45 and $1,575 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company sells to a pre-approved list of institutions which are periodically evaluated. 38 Note 19 - Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk - continued Most of the Company's business activity is with customers located in the Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas area, accordingly, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon this area. Loans to this group are primarily to individual home owners and are secured by one to four family dwellings. The Company's largest loans to one borrower amounted to $3,315 at September 30, 1998. This portfolio is primarily collateralized by commercial real estate. The Company has loans outside its normal lending area to three different borrowers in Ft. Worth, Texas in the total amount of $2,541 and $2,736 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This portfolio is secured by three commercial properties. The Company's policy for requiring collateral on single family dwellings is that the loan not exceed 95% of collateral value. In some cases, however, with board approval, 100% of collateral value may be loaned. For commercial and multi-family dwellings, 85% of loan to collateral value is required. For loans on building sites, 80% of loan to collateral value is required. For loans on undeveloped land, 65% of loan to collateral value is required. Note 20 - Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. Note 21 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year end or that will be realized in the future. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Investments and Mortgage-related Securities - The fair value of longer term investments and mortgage-related securities is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The carrying amounts of stocks approximate fair value because shares may be redeemed at par. Loans - The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using an estimated market discount rate for similar loans that would be made to borrowers with similar credit history and maturities. The fair value for nonaccrual loans was derived through a discounted cash flow analysis, which includes the opportunity costs of carrying a nonperforming asset. Estimated discount rates were based on the probability of loss and the expected time to recovery. Loans with a higher probability of loss were assigned higher risk premiums and were discounted over long periods of time, resulting in lower values. Accrued Interest Receivable - For accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. 39 Note 21 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments - continued Deposit Liabilities - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts is equal to the amount payable upon demand as of September 30, 1998 and 1997. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the present value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used to compute present values are estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities in the Company's marketplace. Borrowed Money - Due to the short term maturity and or call provisions of the loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value. Commitments to Extend Credit - The Company does not normally charge fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on commitments to extend credit are normally committed for periods of less than one month. The Company does not normally issue standby letters of credit or other financial guarantees. Outstanding loan commitments and the unused portion of loans in progress totaled $11,466 and $6,979 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Unused lines of credit totaled $425 and $427 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: September 30, 1998 September 30, 1997 ------------------ ------------------ Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value -------- -------- -------- -------- Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,635 $ 2,635 $ 6,053 $ 6,053 Assets available for sale 25,651 25,651 18,767 18,767 Investments and mortgage backed securities 2,034 2,053 2,409 2,446 Loans receivable, net 155,781 158,698 148,471 151,832 Accrued interest 1,331 1,331 1,176 1,176 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Financial Assets $187,432 $190,368 $176,876 $180,274 ======== ======== ======== ======== Financial liabilities: Deposits $151,955 $153,023 $143,207 $142,996 Borrowed money 6,600 6,600 4,989 4,989 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Financial Liabilities $158,555 $159,623 $148,196 $147,985 ======== ======== ======== ======== 40 Note 22 - Parent Company Only Financial Information Condensed financial statements of Texarkana First Financial Corporation (parent company) are shown below.
