C. GLYNN LOWE
PRESIDENT


                               September 1, 1996


Dear Shareholder :

Our fiscal year ending June 30, 1996 produced net earnings of $1,450,000.00 as 
compared to $1,382,000.00 in 1995.  Year end deposits were $104,565,000.00 as 
compared to 1995 totals of $100,933,000.00.  Total loans increased to 
$66,352,000.00 from $59,382,000.00 at year end 1995.

It was an exciting year for the Bank with the conversion of our charter to a 
State Savings Bank whose stock was transferred to our new holding company, L&B 
Financial, Inc., in late 1995.  Our shareholders now own shares in L&B 
Financial, Inc. whose principal asset is 100% of Loan and Building State Savings
Bank stock.  With these structural changes our opportunities for expanding 
services have been greatly enhanced.

In February, 1996 the New Boston loan production office was moved to our strip 
shopping center in Texarkana, Texas and was converted to a full branch office 
where all services of the bank are available.  This was a good decision and we 
are pleased with the new volume of business being generated and expect to 
acquire a significant share of the market in this location.

Your company paid dividends totaling $.40 per share during the past year and we
look forward

We are grateful for the confidence of our shareholders and loyal customers and
commend our staff for their dedicated effort.



                                Yours very truly,

                                /s/ C. GLYNN LOWE

                                C. Glynn Lowe
                                President

BUSINESS

L&B Financial, Inc. ("L&B") was incorporated in the State of Texas in November
1995, for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding company for Loan
and Building State Savings Bank (the "Bank").  The Bank was formerly Sulphur
Springs Loan and Building Association.  On October 17, 1995, the stockholders of
the Bank approved a plan to reorganize the Bank into the holding company form of
ownership.  The reorganization was completed on November 13, 1995, on which date
the Bank became the wholly-owned subsidiary of L&B, and the stockholders of the
Bank became the shareholders of L&B.  Prior to the completion of the
reorganization, L&B had no material assets or liabilities and engaged in no
business activity.  Subsequent to the acquisition of the Bank, L&B has engaged
in no significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank and engaging
in certain passive investment activities.  Accordingly, the 1996 consolidated
financial statements reflect the reorganization. Consolidated financial
statements and related data for years prior to 1996 are those of the Bank.  L&B
and the Bank are collectively referred to herein as the "Corporation".

The Bank is a state-chartered capital stock savings bank headquartered in
Sulphur Springs, Texas.  The Bank was known as Sulphur Springs Loan and Building
Association until October 1994, when its stockholders approved its change to a
state-chartered capital stock savings bank.  The Bank, originally chartered in
1890, is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system and is subject to
examination and comprehensive regulation by the Texas Savings and Loan
Department, the Bank's chartering authority and primary regulator and by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), its primary federal regulator.
The Bank's deposits are insured to the maximum limits allowable by the FDIC
through the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  On October 14, 1994,
the Bank completed its conversion from a Texas-chartered mutual savings
association to a Texas-chartered stock savings association through the sale of
1,667,500 shares of its common stock to certain depositors, borrowers and other
members of the general public.  The conversion resulted in net proceeds of
approximately $16 million, substantially increasing the Bank's net worth.

The Bank conducts its business in Sulphur Springs, Texas, and in the surrounding
counties.  It is a community oriented savings bank which offers a wide variety
of savings products while focusing its lending activities on residential real
estate loans secured by one-to-four family dwellings in the communities that it
serves.  The Bank also makes commercial real estate loans, multi-family real
estate loans, construction loans, and consumer loans and invests in both fixed-
rate and adjustable-rate investment securities and mortgage-backed securities
issued by the United States government, its agencies, or government-sponsored
enterprises.

The Corporation's operations are conducted through its main office at 306 N.
Davis Street, Sulphur Springs, Texas, its five full service branch offices
located in the northeast Texas towns of Mt. Vernon, Mt. Pleasant, Daingerfield,
Texarkana and Pittsburg, and its mortgage loan office located in Sulphur
Springs.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
- -------

L&B was incorporated in the State of Texas in November 1995, for the purpose of
becoming a savings and loan holding company for the Bank.  Prior to the
completion of the reorganization, L&B had no material assets or liabilities and
engaged in no business activity.  Subsequent to the acquisition of the Bank, L&B
has engaged in no significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank
and engaging in certain passive investment activities.  The Bank, which is L&B's
principal subsidiary, conducts business from its branch bank system located in
northeast Texas in the counties of Hopkins, Franklin, Titus, Camp, Morris and
Bowie.  The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and
other financial services companies.  The Corporation is subject to the
regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The profitability of Corporation depends primarily on its net interest income,
which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-
earnings assets, principally loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities,
and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and
borrowings.  Net interest income is affected by the average yield earned on
interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities,
and the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities.  The
Corporation's net income is also dependent on the level of its noninterest
income and noninterest expense, such as compensation and employee benefits,
occupancy and equipment, deposit insurance premiums and other general and
administrative expenses and, to a lesser extent, on the level of provisions for
losses on loans and real estate, as well as provisions for federal income tax.

Asset and Liability Management
- ------------------------------

The Corporation is committed to following a program of asset and liability
management in an effort to manage the fluctuations in earnings caused by
movements in interest rates.  The ability to maximize net interest income is
largely dependent upon the achievement of a positive net interest rate spread
that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing market 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 time period.  This difference, or the interest rate
repricing "gap", provides an indication of the extent to which the Corporation's
interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates.  In addition
to the effects of changes in the relative level of interest rates, changes in
the relationship between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates
also affect the net interest rate spread of the Corporation.  Generally, a
positively sloped yield curve (long-term rates are higher than short-term rate)
increases the Corporation's net interest rate spread while a negatively sloped
yield curve (short-term interest rates are higher than long-term interest rates)
generally leads to a decrease in the net interest rate spread.

One means of evaluating the sensitivity of an institution's net interest income
to changes in interest rates is to examine the extent to which its assets and
liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's
interest rate sensitivity "gap".  An asset or liability is said to be interest
rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within
that time period.  The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the
difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing
within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within that time period.  A gap is considered positive
when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest
rate sensitive liabilities and negative when the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.
During a period of falling interest rates, the net interest income of an
institution with a positive gap may be adversely affected due to its interest-
earning assets repricing to a greater extent than its interest-bearing
liabilities, while an institution with a negative gap would likely experience
the opposite result.  Conversely, during a period of rising interest rates, the
net interest income of an institution with a positive gap may increase since it
is able to increase the yield on its interest-earning assets more rapidly than
the costs of its interest-bearing liabilities, while an institution with a
negative gap would likely have an opposite result.

The following table sets forth (in thousands) the Corporation's interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities

at June 30, 1996, which are anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to
reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown.  The amount of
assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period
were determined in accordance with the earlier of the term to repricing or the
contractual maturity of the asset or liability.  The actual maturities of loans,
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities can be significantly
shorter than contractual maturities due to the ability of the borrowers and
issuers to call, repay, or prepay,  principal with, or without, call or
prepayment penalties.

less which is equal to 4.26% of total assets . Thus, decreases in interest rates
during this time would generally increase the Corporation's net interest income.
However, certain limitations are inherent in the method of analysis presented in
the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may
have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different
degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain
types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in the
market interest rates, while the interest rates on other types may lag behind
changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets such as adjustable-rate
mortgage ("ARM") loans have features which restrict changes in interest rates on
a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of
changes in interest rates, prepayment and decay rates would likely deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability
of borrowers to afford the payments on their ARM loans may decrease in the event
of an interest rate rise.

While the preceding table provides an indication of the sensitivity of the
Corporation's net interest income to future changes in interest rates, it does
not include any indication of the sensitivity of servicing fee income earned by
the Corporation for servicing loans for others to changes in interest rates.
These fees are included in noninterest income in the Corporation's consolidated
statements of income. In periods of rising interest rates, when prepayments on
loans generally decline, the servicing fee income on a given group of loans
generally remains higher than if the rates had not increased. The converse is
generally true during periods of falling interest rates. The rate at which
mortgage servicing rights are amortized generally decreases during period of
rising interest rates and increases during periods

of falling interest rates. Thus, net servicing fee income earned on loans
serviced for others will generally remain higher when rates rise and will
generally be reduced when rates fall.

Yields Earned and Rates Paid

The following table sets forth at, or for, the periods and dates indicated, the
weighted average yields earned on the Corporation's interest-earning assets, the
weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate
spread and net yield on interest-earning assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis
- --------------------

The following table sets forth certain information (in thousands) regarding
changes in the interest income and interest expense of the Corporation for the
periods indicated.  For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1)
changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate); (2) changes in
rate (changes in rate multiplied by the old volume); and (3) the total.  Changes
in rate/volume (changes in rate multiplied by the changes in volume) have been
allocated to rate and volumes consistently on a proportionate basis.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995

For the year ended June 30, 1996, net income increased $68,000, or 4.9%, to
$1,450,000 as compared with $1,382,000 for fiscal 1995. This increase in
earnings was primarily the result of an increase in other income of $183,000 and
a negative provision for loan loss of $100,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996,
which was partially offset by an increase in other expenses of $225,000 for the
same time period. The Corporation's provision for loan loss for the year ended
June 30, 1995 was $5,000.

Net interest income before provisions for loan loss remained basically
unchanged, decreasing $30,000 to $4,888,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996 compared to fiscal 1995. This decrease was the net result of total interest
income increasing $1,451,000 for fiscal year 1996 compared to fiscal 1995 while
total interest expense increased $1,481,000 for the same comparative period. The
increases in both total interest income and total interest expense were the
result of increasing portfolio yields due to the general increase in market
interest rates and increased average volumes of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

Total interest income increased $1,451,000, or 16.0%, to $10,531,000 for the
year ended June 30, 1996, from $9,080,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995.
Increases in interest income on mortgage-backed securities, loans and deposits
and overnight funds of $911,000, $641,000 and $132,000, respectively, for fiscal
1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 were offset by a decrease in the interest and
dividends earned on investment securities of $233,000 for the same time period.
The increases in interest income for loans and mortgage-backed securities were
due to increased portfolio yields and increased average balances of these
assets. The increase in interest income on deposits

and overnight funds increased primarily due to the generally higher level of
rates paid on deposits and overnight funds experienced in fiscal 1996 as
compared to fiscal 1995. Interest and dividends on investment securities
decreased due to a slight decrease in the portfolio yield and reduced holdings
by the Corporation of these types of assets.

Interest expense increased $1,481,000, or 35.6%, to $5,643,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996 as compared with $4,162,000 for the year ended June 30,
1995. Interest on deposit accounts increased $944,000 to $4,985,000 for fiscal
1996 as compared with fiscal 1995. This increase is due primarily to the
increase experienced in short-term interest rates over the twelve to eighteen
months combined with increased deposit balances for fiscal 1996 as compared with
fiscal 1995. Interest expense on advances from the FHLB increased $537,000 to
$658,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 as compared with $121,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1995. This increase was due primarily to the increased level of
borrowing experienced during fiscal 1996 as compared with fiscal 1995.

The provision for loan loss decreased $105,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996 as compared with fiscal 1995. The Corporation had a negative loss
provision of $100,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996. This negative provision
was the result of analysis assessing the Corporation's historical charge-offs,
its current loan portfolio composition and risk profile, and comparing that
information with industry and peer averages. The allowance for loan loss as a
percentage of total loans at June 30, 1996 was 1.13% as compared with 1.42% for
fiscal year end 1995. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total non-
performing loans was 551.8% as of June 30, 1996 as compared with 444.6% at June
30, 1995.

Total other income increased $183,000, or 125.3%, for the year ended June 30,
1996 as compared with the year ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily
the result of net gains of $94,000 and $26,000 on the sale of loans held- for-
sale and investments and mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale during
fiscal 1996. The gain on the sale of loans held-for-sale was increased by the
Corporation's adoption of SFAS 122, effective July 1, 1995 (see Accounting
Standards Issued for a complete discussion of this event). Fee income increased
$73,000, or 89.0%, to $155,000 for fiscal 1996 as compared with fiscal 1995.
This increase was due primarily to an increase in service charges and a
nonrecurring gain of $27,000 on the dissolution of a joint venture project
during fiscal 1996.

Total other expense increased $225,000, or 7.2%, to $3,353,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996 from $3,128,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995. This
increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional services of
$186,000 to $521,000 for fiscal 1996 as compared with $335,000 for fiscal 1995.
The increase in professional services was primarily due to expenses relating to
the potential acquisition of the Corporation. See Note 18 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Other expense also
increased $157,000, or 29.9%, for the year ended June 30, 1996 as compared with
the year ended June 30, 1995. This increase is primarily due to a donation,
increased state franchise tax expense based on the increased capital levels of
the Corporation and miscellaneous nonrecurring expenses related to the
conversion to a state savings bank charter and the formation of the holding
company. Compensation and employee benefits decreased $82,000, or 5.0%, to
$1,544,000 for fiscal 1996 as compared with fiscal 1995. This decrease was
primarily due to a reduction in employee benefits in fiscal 1996 and a one-time
payment to retiring directors in fiscal 1995. Occupancy and equipment expense,
deposit insurance premiums and REO operations remained essentially the same,
decreasing $12,000, $14,000 and $10,000, respectively, for the year ended June
30, 1996 as compared with the year ended June 30, 1995.

Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994

For the year ended June 30, 1995, net income increased $354,000, or 34.4%, to
$1,382,000 as compared to $1,028,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. This
increase in net earnings is the result of a $698,000, or 16.6%, increase in net
interest income to $4,913,000 after provision for loan loss for fiscal 1995 as
compared with $4,215,000 for fiscal 1994. This increase was partially offset by
an increase of $360,000, or 13.0%, in other expenses to $3,128,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1995 as compared with $2,768,000 for the year ended June 30,
1994.

Total interest income increased $842,000, or 10.2%, to $9,080,000 for fiscal
1995 from $8,238,000 for fiscal 1994. Interest income on mortgage-backed
securities increased $1,317,000 to $2,596,000 for year ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to the year ended June 30, 1994 due primarily to the investment in such
assets of a significant portion of

the net proceeds from the Bank's stock conversion. This increase was partially
offset by decreases in interest income on deposits and overnight funds and
interest and dividends on investment securities of $124,000 and $376,000,
respectively, for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the year ended 30,
1994. These decreases were attributable to a decrease in the average balances of
such assets. Interest income on loans remained basically unchanged, increasing
$25,000 to $5,105,000 for year ended June 30, 1995 compared with $5,080,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1994.

Interest expense increased $343,000, or 9.0%, to $4,162,000 for fiscal 1995 from
$3,819,000 for fiscal 1994 due to an increase in interest expense on both
deposits and borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to
an increase in the average rate paid, reflecting the general increase in short-
term interest rates during fiscal 1995. Interest expense on borrowings of
$121,000 were the result of borrowings from the FHLB during the year ended June
30, 1995. During the year ended June 30, 1994, there were no such borrowings.

The provision for loan loss decreased $199,000 to $5,000 for the year ended June
30, 1995 as compared with $204,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. The
decrease in the provision in fiscal 1995 was primarily due to the significant
provision in fiscal 1994. Management believes that the Bank's loan loss
allowance is adequate to absorb estimated future losses. The Bank's allowance
for loan losses at June 30, 1995 equaled 1.36% of the Bank's total loan
portfolio compared to 1.55% at June 30, 1994. The allowance for loan loss as a
percentage of total non-performing loans was 444.6% as of June 30, 1995 compared
with 400.0% as of June 30, 1994.

The allowance for loan loss is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions.

Other income remained basically unchanged, increasing $13,000 to $146,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased loan
servicing fee income of $10,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared
with the year ended June 30, 1994.

Other expense increased $360,000, or 13.0%, to $3,128,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1995 from $2,768,000 for the year ended June 30, 1994. This increase
was primarily the result of increases in compensation and other employee
benefits and professional services of $210,000 and $107,000, respectively, for
the year ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. The increase in compensation and employee
benefits was the result of increased directors fees and annual salary reviews.
Professional fees increased due to increased legal and audit fees associated
with the reporting requirements of a public company. Increased occupancy and
equipment expense of $57,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995 as compared with
June 30, 1994 was substantially offset by a decrease in income (loss) on
foreclosed real estate, net, of $50,000 for the same time period. Occupancy and
equipment expenses increased due the costs associated with moving into a new
branch office building in Daingerfield, Texas. During fiscal year 1994,
nonrecurring expenditures relating to the disposition of REO properties caused
the Bank to experience expenses of $35,000 in income (loss) on foreclosed real
estate, net, as compared with income of $15,000 during fiscal year 1995.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's assets totaled $144,130,000, an increase of
$10,347,000, or 7.7%, as compared with assets of $133,783,000 at June 30, 1995.
Loans receivable, net, increased $6,970,000 to $66,352,000 at June 30, 1996 as
compared with $59,382,000 for the year end June 30, 1995, net of $8,652,000
loans held-for-sale sold during fiscal 1996. The Corporation continued to
increase its holdings of investment and mortgage-backed securities, increasing
the portfolio $414,000 to $64,164,000 at June 30, 1996 from $63,750,000 at June
30, 1995. This growth was financed primarily with advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Dallas, which increased $8,596,000 to $13,500,000 at June 30, 1996
and an increase in deposits of 3.6%, or $3,632,000, to $104,565,000 at June 30,
1996. During the year ended June 30, 1996, $1,199,000 of these funds was used to
repurchase 5%, or 83,375 shares, of the Corporation's outstanding common stock
and $571,000 was used to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock for the stock
compensation plan. This activity was the primary reason for the $871,000
decrease in total stockholders' equity for the year ended June 30, 1996.

The Corporation's liquidity, as measured for regulatory purposes, was
approximately 66.6% at June 30, 1996. Assets that qualify as eligible liquidity
are defined by applicable state regulation and include cash and cash
equivalents, other readily marketable investments, including unencumbered
federal government sponsored enterprise securities. The required level of liquid
assets, as defined by regulation, is currently 10% of the Corporation's average
daily deposits for the most recently completed calender quarter. The liquidity
requirement can be changed from time to time by the Texas Savings and Loan
Commissioner and the State Finance Commission of Texas to reflect economic
conditions. The Corporation has historically relied upon deposit growth and loan
repayments as its primary source of funds. The Bank now incorporates borrowing
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas ("FHLB") into its funds matrix as a
secondary source of liquidity. If these sources do not generate sufficient
liquid funds, the Corporation may pledge as collateral its investment and
mortgage-backed securities to secure additional borrowings. Commitments to fund
loans in the ordinary course of business at June 30, 1996 were approximately
$4,406,000. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further
information about commitments and contingencies.

As of June 30, 1996, the Corporation substantially exceeded the FDIC's capital
requirements. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of these capital requirements.

Recapitalization of SAIF and the Effect of the Reduction in Bank Insurance Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premiums
- --------

Deposits of the Corporation are currently insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),
the deposit insurance fund that covers most commercial bank deposits, are
statutorily required to be recapitalized to a ratio of 1.25% of insured reserve
deposits. Members of the SAIF and BIF currently are paying average deposit
insurance premiums of between 23 and 25 basis points. While the BIF has reached
the required reserve ratio, the SAIF is not expected to acquire adequate
reserves until 2002 at the earliest. The Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC")
Completion Act authorized $8 billion in funding for the SAIF. However, such
funds only become available to the SAIF if the FDIC determines that the funds
are needed to cover losses of the SAIF and several other stringent criteria are
met.

The FDIC has established a new assessment rate schedule ranging from 4 to 31
basis points for BIF members beginning on September 30, 1995. Under that
schedule, approximately 91% of BIF members will pay the lowest assessment rate
of 4 basis points. With respect to SAIF member institutions, the existing
assessment rate ranging from 23 to 31 basis points applicable to SAIF member
institutions has been retained.

Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium disparity
have been suggested by the present Administration, by members of Congress and by
industry groups. In July 1995, the Chairman of the FDIC announced in testimony
before Congress a proposal to recapitalize the SAIF by a one-time charge of 
SAIF-insured institutions of approximately $6.6 billion, or approximately $.85
to $.90 for every $100 of assessable deposits, and an eventual merger of the
SAIF with the BIF. In July 1996, the FDIC announced a revised estimate of $.68
per every $100 of assessable deposits that would be required to recapitalize the
SAIF insurance fund. The Corporation currently is unable to predict the
likelihood of legislation affecting these changes, although a consensus among
regulators, legislators and bankers appears to be developing in this regard. If
the revised assessment of $.68 per $100 of assessable deposits was affected
based on deposits as of March 31, 1995, as proposed, the Corporation's pro rata
share would amount to approximately $440,000 after taxes.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ---------------------------------------

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars without considering the relative purchasing power of money over time due
to inflation. Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than the effects of the general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the
prices of goods and services. However, noninterest expenses do reflect general
levels of inflation.

Impact of New Accounting Standards Issued
- -----------------------------------------

In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosure About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), which extended the then
existing fair value disclosure practices by requiring all entities to disclose
the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized
and not recognized, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value in the
disclosure of descriptive information pertinent to estimating the value of a
financial instrument. Disclosures about fair value are not required for certain
financial instruments. This standard was effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1992, except for entities with
less than $150 million in total assets. For those entities, the effective date
of implementation is for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995. The
Corporation implemented this standard with the issuance of the 1996 Annual
Report.

During October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 118, "Accounting By Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition
and Disclosures" ("SFAS 118") which amends SFAS 114 to allow a creditor to use
existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan. Prior to
the issuance of SFAS 118, SFAS 114 provided for two alternative income
recognition methods to be used to account for changes in the net carrying amount
of an impaired loan subsequent to the initial measurement of impairment. Under
the first income recognition method, a creditor would accrue interest on the net
carrying amount of the loan as an adjustment to the provision for loss. Under
the second income recognition method, a creditor would recognize all changes in
the net carrying amount of the loan as an adjustment to the provision of loss on
loans. While those income recognition methods are no longer required, SFAS 118
does not preclude a creditor form using either of these methods. The adoption of
SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 resulted in no adjustment to the allowance for loan loss.

In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Earlier application is
permitted. SFAS 121 will require, among other things, that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management will adopt the
provisions of SFAS 121 on July 1, 1996, but believes that the adoption of SFAS
121 will not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

In May 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122"). SFAS 122 eliminates
distinctions between servicing rights that were purchased and those that were
retained upon the sale of loans. The statement requires mortgage servicers to
recognize as separate assets rights to service loans, no matter how the rights
were acquired. Institutions who sell loans and retain the servicing rights will
be required to allocate the total cost of the loans to servicing rights and
loans based on their relative fair values if that value can be estimated. SFAS
122 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
Furthermore, SFAS 122 requires that all capitalized mortgage servicing rights be
periodically evaluated for impairment based upon the current fair value of these
rights. The Corporation elected to adopt SFAS 122 effective July 1, 1995. The
adoption of SFAS 122 resulted in an increase of approximately $42,000 in gains
on the sale of loans held-for-sale and a reduction of approximately $4,000 in
loan servicing fees due to the amortization of originated mortgage servicing
rights. At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had $41,000 in mortgage servicing
rights.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which requires adoption not later than fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. The new standard defines a fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. Under the fair value
method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value
of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period. Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but not
required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based
compensation transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account
for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but would be required to disclose in
a note to the financial statements proforma net income and earnings per share as
if the company had applied the new method of accounting. The accounting
requirements of the new method are effective for all employee awards granted
after the beginning of the

fiscal year of adoption. The Corporation has elected to continue to account for
employee stock-based compensation transactions under APB Opinion No. 25 and will
disclose the proforma data required by SFAS 123. SFAS 123 is not expected to
have an effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations.

In November 1995, the FASB issued "A Guide to the Implementation of Statement
115 on Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities" (the "Guide"). The
Guide was in response to the high number if inquiries received relating to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115") and its implementation. In connection
with the issuance of the Guide, the FASB created a one time window through which
a company could reevaluate its SFAS 115 classifications and reclassify
securities as deemed necessary for purposes of SFAS 115. Securities reclassified
during this window of opportunity would not "taint" the remaining SFAS 115
classifications. This window closed December 31, 1995. As permitted by the
Guide, the Corporation reclassified approximately $28,421,000 of investment and
mortgage-backed securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.

In December 1994, the AICPA issued SOP 94-6, "Disclosures of Certain Significant
Risks and Uncertainties." SOP 94-6 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 1995. Earlier application is permitted. SOP 94-6 requires, among
other things, that entities include in their financial statements disclosures
about the nature of their operations and the use of estimates in the preparation
of financial statements. In addition, SOP 94-6 requires disclosures about
current vulnerability due to certain concentrations. Management believes that
the adoption of SOP 96-4 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's
financial statements.

                          ----------------------------



The Board of Directors
L&B Financial, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of L&B Financial,
Inc. and subsidiary (the "Corporation") as of June 30, 1996, and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  These standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 consolidated  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 the Corporation as
of June 30, 1996, and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - L&B Financial, Inc. ("L&B") was incorporated in the State of
- ------------                                                               
Texas in November 1995, for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding
company for the Loan and Building State Savings Bank (the "Bank").  On October
17, 1995, the shareholders of the Bank approved a plan to reorganize the Bank
into the holding company form of ownership.  The reorganization was completed on
November 13, 1995, on which date the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
L&B and the shareholders of the Bank exchanged all of their outstanding shares
(1,667,500) for 1,667,500 shares of L&B and became shareholders of L&B.  Prior
to the completion of the reorganization, L&B had no material assets or
liabilities and engaged in no business activity. Subsequent to the acquisition
of the Bank, L&B has engaged in no significant activity other than holding the
stock of the Bank and engaging in certain passive investment activities.
Accordingly, the 1996 consolidated financial statements are those of the
reorganization.  Consolidated financial statements and related data for years
prior to 1996 are those of the Bank.  L&B and the Bank are collectively referred
to herein as the "Corporation".

Business - L&B Financial, Inc.'s principal subsidiary, Loan and Building State
- --------                                                                      
Savings Bank, is a state-chartered stock savings bank conducting business from
its branch bank system located in northeast Texas in the counties of Hopkins,
Franklin, Titus, Camp, Morris and Bowie.  The Corporation is subject to
competition from other financial institutions and other financial services
companies.  The business of the Corporation consists primarily of attracting
deposits from the general public and originating loans on residential
properties.  The Corporation also makes commercial real estate, construction and
consumer loans.  The Corporation is subject to the regulations of certain
federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those
regulatory authorities.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The consolidated financial
- -----------------------------------------                             
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, 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 loss, the
valuation of other real estate owned, and the valuation of deferred tax assets
and the effect of prepayments on mortgage servicing rights and the premiums and
discounts associated with mortgage-related securities.  Management believes that
the allowance for loan loss, the valuations of other real estate owned and
deferred tax assets are adequate, and that the effect of prepayments on mortgage
servicing rights and premiums and discounts associated with investments and
mortgage-related securities has been adequately evaluated.  Various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Corporation's allowance for loan loss and valuation of other real estate
owned.

Principals of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
- ---------------------------                                                     
include the accounts of L&B Financial, Inc., Loan and Building State Savings
Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, L. B. Resource, Inc.  All significant
intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
- -------------------------                                                     
amounts due from depository institutions, federal funds sold and short-term,
interest-bearing deposits with original maturities of three months or less.  The
Corporation maintains cash deposits in other depository institutions which
occasionally exceed the amount of deposit insurance available.  Management
periodically assesses the financial condition of these institutions.

The Corporation is required to maintain certain daily reserve balances in
accordance with Federal Reserve Board requirements.  At June 30, 1996, aggregate
reserves, in the form of vault cash were maintained to satisfy this requirement.

Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities - Effective January 1, 1994, the
- ------------------------------------------                                 
Corporation adopted SFAS 115, and accounts for its investment in debt and equity
securities as prescribed in the pronouncement.  The following summarizes FASB
115 security classifications and corresponding accounting treatment:

          Held-to-Maturity securities are debt securities that the Corporation
          has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are
          reported at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are amortized or
          accreted as adjustments to income over the life of the security using
          the level yield method.

          Trading securities are debt and equity securities that are bought and
          held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and are
          reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
          earnings. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, no securities have been
          classified as trading securities.

          Available-for-sale securities are debt and equity securities not
          classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities and
          reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
          earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity,
          net of tax. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted as
          adjustments to income over the life of the security using the level
          yield method.

Gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific
identification method.  The fair value of securities is based on quoted market
prices, or dealer quotes.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value
is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Transfers of securities between classifications are accounted for at fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is owned due to regulatory and collateral
requirements.  Federal Home Loan Bank stock is not considered to be a marketable
equity security under SFAS 115 and, therefore, is carried at cost.

Loans - Loans that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to
- -----                                                                   
maturity or repayment, are recorded at cost and represent the unpaid principal
balances, adjusted for allowance for loan loss, net deferred origination fees or
costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on loans
purchased.  Loans consist principally of conventional one-to-four family
residential loans, commercial real estate loans, multi-family real estate loans,
one-to-four family construction loans and consumer loans, which primarily
consist of automobile loans, loans on deposits and other personal loans.

Loans are placed on a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the
possibility of collection of additional interest is deemed insufficient to
warrant further accrual.  Generally, the Corporation places all loans more than
ninety days past due on non-accrual status.  When a loan is placed on non-
accrual status, interest accruals are suspended until, in the opinion of
management, the borrower has regained the ability to make periodic interest and
principal payments in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

Discounts on acquired first mortgage loans are amortized to income using methods
that approximate the interest method over the remaining period to contractual
maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments of principal. Discounts and
premiums on consumer loans are recognized over the lives of the loans using
methods that approximate the interest method.

Loans Held for Sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the
- -------------------                                                         
secondary market are valued at the aggregate of lower of cost or market.  Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income.  Most loans sold are sold with servicing rights retained, however, the
Corporation does sell some loans with servicing released.  The decision to
retain or sell the servicing rights is a function of the loan product and the
buyer.  Gains and losses on the sale of such loans are recognized when
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred.  If the loan
servicing rights are retained, the value of future servicing rights are
considered in the determination of the amount of gain or loss.

Allowances for Estimated Losses - The Corporation maintains allowances for
- -------------------------------                                           
estimated loan loss, uncollected accrued interest receivable and losses on real
estate acquired in the settlement of loans.  Loss provisions are charged to
income when, in the opinion of management, such losses for which no provision
has been made are probable.

                                      22

The allowance for loan loss is maintained at a level that management considers
adequate to provide for potential losses based upon an evaluation of known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio.  Management believes that the allowance
for loan loss is adequate.  Management's periodic evaluation is based upon
analysis of the 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 regulatory agencies as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance
for loan loss.  Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions
to the allowance for loan loss based on their judgments of information which is
available to them at the time of their examination.

Effective July 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
(SFAS 114), and the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures" (SFAS 118), which amends SFAS 114.

SFAS 114, as amended by SFAS 118, defines the recognition criteria for loan
impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans for
which terms have been modified in troubled debt restructuring (a restructured
loan).  Specifically, a loan is considered impaired when it is probable a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due - both principal and interest
- - according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When measuring
impairment, the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan are required to
be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.  Alternatively, impairment
can be measured by reference to an observable market price, if one exists, or
the fair value of the collateral for a collateral dependent loan.  Regardless of
the historical measurement method used, SFAS 114 requires a creditor to measure
impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor
determines foreclosure is probable.  Additionally, impairment of a restructured
loan is measured by discounting the total expected future cash flows at the
loan's effective rate of interest as stated in the original loan agreement.

SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for
recognizing interest on an impaired loan.  The Corporation has elected to
continue to use its existing nonaccrual methods for recognizing interest income
on impaired loans.  The adoption of SFAS 118 and SFAS 114 resulted in no
adjustment to the allowance for loan loss.

Office Properties and Equipment - Office properties and equipment are presented
- -------------------------------                                                
at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated
useful lives for buildings and improvements are 20 - 50 years and generally 5 -
10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, and
improvements and other expenditures, which materially increase property lives
are capitalized.  The costs and accumulated depreciation applicable to premises
and equipment retired, or otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the related
accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Real Estate Held-for-Development - Real estate held-for-development is carried
- --------------------------------                                              
at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated net realizable value.  The
Corporation's investment in real estate consisted of land and commercial rental
property.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure - Real estate acquired through
- ----------------------------------------                               
foreclosure is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less selling
costs.  Any accrued interest on the related loan at the date of acquisition is
charged to operations.  Costs related to the development and improvement of the
property are capitalized to the extent that such costs do not exceed the
estimated fair value less selling costs of the property.  Costs related to
holding the property are charged to expense.

Deferred Loan Origination Fees and Costs - Nonrefundable loan fees and certain
- ----------------------------------------                                      
direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the lives of the
loans using the level yield method.  Amortization of these deferrals is
recognized as interest income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights - Mortgage servicing rights represent the carrying
- -------------------------                                                   
value of the rights to service mortgage loans for others.  The mortgage
servicing rights are amortized against loan servicing fee income on an
accelerated basis in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net future
loan servicing fee income, which periods initially do not exceed seven years.
Service fee income is recognized when the related loan payments are collected.
On a quarterly basis, management evaluates and makes any necessary adjustments
to the remaining balances of mortgage servicing rights, if the fair value of the
disaggregated servicing rights indicate that the carrying value is not
considered recoverable.  Assumptions utilized in the quarterly evaluations are
based on current prepayment and investor rates of return provided by an
independent investment advisor.

Effective July 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS  122 "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights."  This standard prospectively requires the
Corporation, which services mortgage loans for others in return for a servicing
fee, to recognize these 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.  The
adoption of SFAS 122 resulted in an increase of approximately $42,000 in gains
on the sale of loans held-for-sale and a reduction of approximately $4,000 in
loan servicing fees due to the amortization of originated mortgage servicing
rights.  At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had $41,000 in mortgage servicing
rights.

Income taxes - The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
- ------------                                                                   
income tax return.   The Corporation adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" effective July 1, 1993.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future effects attributable to the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future deductible  "temporary
differences" and tax loss and credit carryforwards if their realization is "more
likely than not."  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on
deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Recognition and Retention Plan - Shares of
- ----------------------------------------------------------------            
common stock issued to the Corporation's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
were recorded as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders' equity at the fair value
of the shares at the date of issuance to the plan.  As shares are committed to
be released, the Corporation reduces the carrying value of the unearned shares
and records compensation expense equal to the current fair value of the shares
committed to be released.

Shares of common stock acquired for the Corporation's Recognition and Retention
Plan were recorded as unearned compensation in stockholders' equity at the fair
value of the shares at the date of award.  Total compensation cost was measured
at the fair value of the shares as of the date of the award and is recognized as
compensation expense over sixty months, the term over which the awards vest.
The difference between the fair value of the shares at the date of award and the
purchase price of those shares was charged against additional paid-in capital.

Earnings per Common Share of Stock - Earnings per common share of stock is
- ----------------------------------                                        
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each year.  Stock options outstanding are not considered in
determining earnings per share because they have no significant dilutive effect.
The Corporation accounts for the 100,050 shares acquired by the ESOP in
accordance with Statement of Position 93-6.  Shares controlled by the ESOP are
not considered in the weighted average shares outstanding until the shares are
committed for allocation.

The Bank completed its initial stock offering on October 14, 1994, and
accordingly, earnings per share for 1995 is calculated by dividing net income
since October 14 , 1994 of approximately $990,000 , by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale
securities were $76,000 and $50,000, respectively, for the year ended June 30,
1996.  There were no sales of securities during the years ended June 30, 1995
and 1994.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's implementation
guidance on SFAS 115, the Corporation reassessed the classification of all
securities held on November 31, 1995.  As a result of such reassessment, the
Corporation transferred investment and mortgage-backed securities with an
amortized cost of $28,421,000 from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.  The
securities were transferred at fair value resulting in an unrealized gain of
approximately $160,000 , which was recognized, net of deferred tax, as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.

</TABLE>

As of June 30, 1996, $300,000 par value of debt securities were pledged as
collateral to secure certain deposit accounts.

At June 30, 1996, approximately $9,110,000 par value of the debt securities were
structured notes, which included $4,965,000 of adjustable-rate debt securities
and $4,000,000 with call provisions ranging form 1 month to 3 years.  The
adjustment periods for the adjustable-rate debt securities range from monthly to
annual adjustments and are generally adjusted based on the movement of two
specific interest rates plus a margin, such as the ten year constant maturity
rate minus one month London interbank overnight rate ("LIBOR"), plus 250 basis
points.  These securities are more sensitive to the movements between interest
rates and the slope of the yield curve than the relative level of interest
rates.

The mortgage-backed securities held at June 30, 1996 mature between one and
forty years.  The actual lives of these securities may be significantly shorter
as the result of payments and prepayments of the underlying collateral.
Adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities totaled approximately $7,757,000 at
June 30, 1996.  These securities have interest rates that adjust with movements
in the Cost of Funds Index ("COFI ARM's") and the one year Constant Maturity
Treasury ("CMT ARM's").  Adjustment periods range from monthly to annually.

At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's Collateralized Mortgage Obligations
("CMO's") portfolio consisted of securities issued by the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Federal National Mortgage Corporation
("FNMA").  The Corporation purchases only CMO's that are considered non-high
risk, as computed using the Federal Financial Institution Exam Council (the
"FFIEC") guidelines.  All CMO's are subsequently subjected to the FFIEC test at
least annually.  At June 30, 1996, all CMO's "passed" the FFIEC test and are
classified non-high risk for regulatory purposes.  Adjustable-rate CMO's totaled
approximately $25,137,000 at June 30, 1996 and generally have interest rates
that adjust monthly with movements in one month LIBOR and the prime rate.  The
yield on the CMO portfolio was 6.88% at June 30, 1996.

The Corporation sells loans in the secondary market without recourse and retains
servicing rights on the sale of conventional mortgage loans.  The Corporation
originates and sells all FHA/VA servicing released.  Servicing loans for others
consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing.  Loan servicing
income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes servicing fees received
from the investors as well as certain charges collected from the borrower, such
as late payment fees.  In connection with these loans serviced for others, the
Corporation held borrowers' escrow balances of $490,000 at June 30, 1996 and
$517,000 at June 30, 1995.

Adjustable-rate real estate loans ($37,707,000 and $34,986,000 at June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively) are subject to rate adjustments annually and generally
are adjusted based on the movement of One year Constant Maturity Treasury index.
The maximum loan rates can be adjusted is 200 basis points in any one year with
a maximum life time cap of 500 basis points.

At June 30, 1996 and 1995, loans which were accounted for on a non-accrual basis
or were contractually past due ninety days or more totaled approximately
$137,000 and $183,000, respectively.  The amount the Corporation will ultimately
realize from these loans could differ materially from their carrying value
because of future developments affecting the underlying collateral or the
borrower's ability to repay the loans.  During the years ended June 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, the Corporation recognized no interest income on loans past due
90 days or more, whereas, under the original terms of these loans, the
Corporation would have recognized additional interest income of approximately
$1,000, $6,000 and $10,000, respectively.

The Corporation is permitted a special bad debt deduction in determining federal
taxable income, subject to certain limitations. If the amounts that qualify as
bad debt deductions for federal income tax purposes are later used for purposes
other than for bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income tax at
the then current corporate rate. As permitted under SFAS 109, no deferred tax
liability is provided for approximately $2,200,000 ($748,000 approximate tax
effect) of such tax bad debt reserves that arose prior to January 1, 1988.
 
Under recent tax legislation, thrift institutions must recapture certain
"applicable excess bad debt reserves" over a six

year period, subject to certain requirements, and begin paying taxes on such.
Generally, the 1987 would be exempt from such and prior reserves recapture. The
corporation believes the implementation of this legislation will not have a
material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. At June 30, 1996, the
pre 1988 tax bad debt reserves totaled approximately $2,400,000.
 
11.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
Prior to June 30, 1995, the Corporation maintained a target benefit plan
covering substantially all employees. The plan required an employer's
contribution based on 17.5% of the participants average compensation. Effective
September 15, 1994, the plan and assets thereof were merged into the
Corporation's 401 (k) Plan. The Corporation has maintained a section 401(k) plan
since the adoption of such plan during 1993. Full-time employees who have been
credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a twelve-month period and
who have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in the plan. The
Corporation's Board of Directors considers a discretionary matching contribution
on an annual basis. Participant benefits ceased to accrue under the target
benefit plan as a result of the merger. Expenses relating to these two plans
included in compensation and employee benefits expense were approximately $0,
$9,000 and $56,000, for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
 
In addition to the aforementioned benefit plans, the Corporation has an unfunded
deferred compensation arrangements with two key officers. Expense reported in
the consolidated statements of income under this arrangement totaled
approximately $5,000, $4,000, and $4,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively. At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had recorded a
liability of $126,000 related to this arrangement.
 
Effective February 28, 1995, the Corporation established a Recognition and
Retention Plan. The purpose of this plan is to retain personnel of experience
and ability by providing employees and non-employee directors with a proprietary
interest in the Corporation as compensation for their contributions and as an
incentive for such contributions in the future. The Corporation acquired 40,000
shares of its common stock on behalf of the Recognition and Retention Plan
through open market purchases. The shares acquired were recorded as unearned
compensation at the fair value of the shares as of the date of the award. The
fair value of such shares at February 28, 1995, was $10.50 per share, or
$420,000. The difference of $151,000 between the average purchase price of
$14.27 and fair market value of the shares acquired was charged against
additional paid-in capital. For the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
compensation expense relating to the recognition and retention plan was $82,000
and $32,000, respectively. There was no compensation expense related to the
Recognition and Retention Plan for the year ended June 30, 1994.
 
Effective October 14, 1994, the Corporation established an ESOP that covers all
employees who meet eligibility requirements. The Corporation makes contributions
to the ESOP in an amount equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends
received, if any, on unallocated shares. For the year ended June 30, 1996,
dividends of $70,000 were used to pay ESOP debt service (including dividends of
$35,000 paid in fiscal 1995). The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the
debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated
to active participants accounts based on the principal and interest method.
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Corporation adopted AICPA Statement of
Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP
93-6"). In accordance with SOP 93-6, the ESOP's debt is reflected in the Bank's
balance sheet as a long-term borrowing, with such debt being eliminated through
consolidation at June 30, 1996. A corresponding reduction in stockholders'
equity termed "Unearned ESOP Shares" reflect the value of the unreleased ESOP
shares. The adoption of SOP 93-6 had no effect on prior year financial
statements. For the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, ESOP expense charged to
compensation and employee benefits was $108,000 and $198,000, respectively, of
which $63,000 and $58,000 represented interest expense on ESOP debt. For the
year ended June 30, 1994, there were no ESOP related expenses.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Commitments - Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend a

customer funds as long as there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments extend over periods of time with the majority of such
commitments to be disbursed within a thirty day period. Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the
payment of a fee. Commitments to extend credit at fixed rates expose the
Corporation to some degree of interest rate risk. The Corporation evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The type and amount of
collateral obtained varies and is based on management's evaluation of the
potential borrower's ability to repay the debt.

counsel, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact
on the future results of operations or the financial position of the
Corporation.
 
Potential Impact of Changes in Interest Rates - The Corporation's profitability
- ---------------------------------------------
depends to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the difference
between interest income from loans and investments and interest expense on
deposits and borrowings. Like most financial institutions, the Corporation's
interest income and interest expense are significantly affected by changes in
market interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control. The
Corporation's interest earning assets consist primarily of long-term, fixed-rate
mortgage loans and investments which adjust more slowly to changes in interest
rates than its interest-bearing liabilities which are primarily term deposits.
Accordingly, the Corporation's earnings would be adversely affected during
periods of rising interest rates.

The Plan calls for the grant in February 1997 to non-employee members of the
Board of Directors of options to purchase a total of 4,015 shares of common
stock.
 
As of June 30, 1996, no options had been exercised.
 
The Plan also provides for stock appreciation rights ("SAR's"). To date, no
SAR's have been granted.
 
Employees participate in stock ownership through the 401(k) plan.
 
In October, 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") which established
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans.
Under SFAS 123, companies are encouraged to adopt a new accounting method that
accounts for stock compensation awards based on their estimated fair value at
the date they are granted. Companies are allowed to continue following
accounting standards that currently exist (Accounting Principal Board Opinion
No. 25) which generally do not result in an expense charge for most options
issued. If a company continues to follow existing accounting practices to
account for stock compensations plans, pro-forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting defined by SFAS 123
had been applied are required.

SFAS 123 is generally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Corporation has not determined if the
fair value method defined by the new standard will be adopted or if the existing
accounting method will be maintained.

14.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 
On October 14, 1994, the Bank converted from a Texas-chartered mutual savings
and loan association to a Texas-chartered stock savings and loan association
through the sale of common stock. The Bank sold shares in a Subscription
Offering to eligible account holders, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan,
supplemental eligible account holders, and other members, officers, directors,
and employees. Shares were also sold in a concurrent Community Offering. Of the
25,000,000 authorized common $0.01 par value shares, 1,667,500 shares were sold
at a price of $10.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering, after
conversion costs of approximately $660,000, were $15,998,000.
 
The plan of conversion provided that upon completion of the conversion, a
special liquidation account for the benefit of the eligible account holders and
the supplemental account holders would be established. In this account is an
amount equal to the net worth of the Bank as of the date of its latest statement
of condition contained in the final offering circular used in connection with
the conversion, such date being March 31, 1994. The liquidation account is
maintained for the benefit of the eligible account holders and supplemental
eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank.
The liquidation account is reduced from time to time to the extent qualifying
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 adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. As of June 30,
1996 the amount of retained earnings appropriated as a "liquidation account" was
$9,698,000.

The Corporation is prohibited from declaring cash dividends on its common stock,
or repurchasing its common stock if the effect thereof would cause its net worth
to be reduced below either the amount required for the liquidation account or
the minimum regulatory capital requirement. In addition, the Bank is also
prohibited from declaring cash dividends and repurchasing its own stock without
prior regulatory approval in any calendar year in excess of 100% of its current
year's net income to the date of any such dividend or repurchase, plus 50% of
the excess of its capital at the beginning of the year in excess of its minimum
regulatory capital requirement.
 
The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by the regulators that, if taken, could have a material
effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework requiring prompt corrective action, the
Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
the bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators
about components, risk weighting, and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
capital ( as defined by regulation) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and
Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). The following table sets forth
(in thousands) the Bank's current capital requirements, actual capital position
and excess capital in both a dollar and percentage basis for June 30, 1996:

15.  SUPERVISORY AGREEMENT

On May 17, 1994, the Corporation executed a Supervisory Agreement with the
Office of Thrift Supervision. The Supervisory Agreement related to deficiencies
in the Corporation's electronic data processing ("EDP") capability. The
Supervisory Agreement required the Board to adopt and submit a written plan of
action to ensure that the Corporation is provided with adequate EDP audit
coverage, submit a strategic plan that provides for the EDP planning in
accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Financial Institution Examination
Council, adopt a capital expenditures policy setting forth minimum EDP
requirements, establish an EDP Steering Committee and implement various
safeguards regarding computer operations and security. On July 7, 1995, the
Corporation was notified as to its compliance with the terms and conditions of
the Supervisory Agreement and that said Agreement was terminated.

16.  DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Corporation using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
Considerable judgement is required to interpret this information and develop
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/ or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

</TABLE>

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term
instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investments and mortgage-backed securities - The estimated fair value of debt
and equity securities equals quoted market price.

Mortgages held-for-sale - The estimated fair value of mortgage loans held-for-
sale is estimated at the quoted secondary market prices for such loans without
regard to the Corporation's other commitments to make or sell loans.

Loans receivable - The fair value of loans receivable was estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit histories and maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of
fair value.

Deposits - The fair value of NOW accounts, savings accounts, and certain money
market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is based on the present value of
the contractual cash flows discounted using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar maturities.

Borrowed funds - The carrying amount of borrowed funds is a reasonable estimate
of fair value. All borrowings outstanding have maturities of less than one year
and interest rates that adjust with current market rates.

Commitments to extend credit - The notional amount of commitments to extend
credit is a reasonable estimation of fair value because the differences between
current market rates and committed rates are insignificant.
