"RISK FACTORS" AND OTHER FACTORS BEYOND THE COMPANY'S CONTROL COULD CAUSE ACTUAL
EXPERIENCE TO VARY MATERIALLY FROM THE FUTURE RESULTS COVERED IN SUCH
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
THE COMPANY
Bay Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company headquartered
in La Porte, Texas, which is located in eastern Harris County, the county that
comprises most of the greater Houston metropolitan area. The Company currently
has seven full-service locations and three loan production offices ("LPOs"). The
acquisitions of Texas Bank, Baytown, Texas ("Texas Bank"), Texas National Bank
of Baytown ("TNB"), and First Bank of Deer Park ("First Bank") (collectively,
the "Acquisitions") will give the Company two branch locations in Baytown, one
in Deer Park and one in Mont Belvieu. At June 30, 1997, the Company had total
assets of $185.1 million, total loans of $115.2 million, total deposits of
$169.9 million and total stockholders' equity of $13.8 million. Assuming the
successful completion of the Acquisitions and the Offering as of June 30, 1997,
total assets, total loans, total deposits and total stockholders' equity on a
proforma basis would have been approximately $273.2 million, $153.4 million,
$246.9 million and $22.5 million, respectively.
The Company's strategic goal is to be the premier provider of financial
services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals in the eastern
portion of the greater Houston metropolitan area. There is, however, no
guarantee that the Company will achieve its strategic goal or any estimate of
when such goal will be achieved. Management believes that its strategic goal can
be achieved and maintained through the following:
- Superior Customer Service--Through technology and a focus on prompt,
personal service, the Company has successfully competed with much larger
institutions. For example, the Company has enhanced its relationship
banking capabilities by marketing individually to the top 15% of its
customer base. The top 5% of the Company's customers are provided with a
pass key which enables them to enter the Bank through a private entrance
before and after normal banking hours and are assigned a specific Bank
officer to service their banking needs. The Company has made significant
investments in technology which management believes will allow it to
compete with any super-regional or national banking organization with
respect to communications and electronic convenience to the customer.
- Motivated Employees--The Company continually trains its employees in the
areas of successful sales and service, long-term customer relationships,
teller excellence, business development and consumer lending. As part of
this process, virtually every employee is placed on incentive and merit
standards which award compensation based on the achievement of sales goals
and other business development-related goals.
- A Full Range of Products--The Company offers a wide variety of lending
products including term loans, lines of credit and fixed asset loans to
small and medium-sized businesses, and offers its consumer customers a
full range of products, including automobile loans, home improvement loans
and personal loans. In addition, the Company has established "niche"
products such as loans guaranteed by the United States Small Business
Administration ("SBA"), commercial loans to
3
<PAGE>
owner-operated manufacturing and petrochemical service businesses,
"indirect" installment lending and factoring. To compliment its
traditional banking products, the Company endeavors to be a full financial
services organization and has developed additional financial services such
as brokerage services and annuity vehicles and is in the process of
forming an independent insurance agency offering a full line of commercial
and consumer insurance products.
- Enhanced Delivery System--The Company plans to enhance its existing
delivery system by expanding its branch network, either by acquisitions or
de novo branches, in the eastern portion of the Houston metropolitan area,
and through the establishment of additional LPOs outside of this area in
order to market the Company's niche products.
In addition to these strategic advantages, management believes the following
financial initiatives will help the Company increase profitability and maximize
stockholder value:
- Changing Loan Mix--In 1988, the Company initiated a program of purchasing
indirect loans, which are installment loans originated by automobile
dealers for the purpose of financing consumer purchases. The Company
purchases almost exclusively "A"-rated loans. There is no objective
standard for "A"-rated loans, but such loans are viewed by management as
the most creditworthy types of loans, in that they possess low loan to
value ratios and are made to stable borrowers with well established, good
credit histories. Management believes that the program has been successful
both from the standpoint of growth and credit quality. However, because of
increasing competition and accompanying pressure on net interest margins
in the indirect market, management has broadened its focus to expand its
other niche lending products, including SBA guaranteed credits via the
Company's three LPOs, commercial lending to local manufacturing and
petrochemical service companies and accounts receivable factoring. These
are generally higher yielding products which management views as having
strong growth potential in the Company's market area. If the Company is
successful in growing these niche products, its net interest margin should
be positively affected.
- Increasing Fee Income Sources--To supplement the noninterest income
produced from its niche lending and deposit products, the Company is
developing other sources of fee income. The Company currently has 12 Class
1 licensed insurance agents and four licensed brokers assisting customers
with fixed rate brokerage and annuity products. By the end of 1998,
management expects to have licensed agents offering alternative
investments at each branch location. The Bank has filed an application for
a license to operate a full service insurance agency from its Mont Belvieu
location and has received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency ("OCC") to form an operating subsidiary to house the
insurance agency. The Bank expects to receive approval of its application
for a license to operate a full service insurance agency from Mont Belvieu
in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company is also currently negotiating
to purchase an insurance agency which has operated with a historic record
of profitability. The Company has reached a verbal agreement to acquire
the insurance agency, but an agreement has not yet been reduced to
writing, and there is no assurance that such an acquisition will be
consummated. If the Company is successful in its plan to acquire the
insurance agency, it is expected that such acquisition will occur in the
second quarter of 1998. The revenues and earnings of the insurance agency
are not expected to materially affect the revenues and earnings of the
Company.
- Improved Efficiency--Management believes that the Acquisitions will create
economies of scale and help to improve the Company's efficiency ratio.
Significant cost savings opportunities exist, including headcount
reductions, cuts in director fees and reduced administrative expenses.
Although conversion of the acquired banks' data processing operations onto
the Company's proprietary system will result in significant initial costs,
management believes that substantial cost savings will be achieved on an
ongoing basis.
4
<PAGE>
- Core Deposit Base--The Company has a relatively low cost funding base made
up primarily of core deposits along with a relationship driven public
deposit network. At June 30, 1997, the Company's weighted average cost of
deposits was 3.24%, a slight decrease from the year end figure of 3.32%
and down significantly from the December 31, 1995 level of 3.55%. This low
cost of funds has allowed the Company to price its loan products
competitively while still maintaining an attractive net interest margin.
There is no assurance that the foregoing financial initiatives will be
realized or any estimate of when they will be achieved.
THE ACQUISITIONS
The Acquisitions will increase the Company's assets from $185.1 million to
$273.2 million as of June 30, 1997 on a proforma basis. In addition to the
immediate increase in asset size and the potential for improved future
profitability, the Acquisitions will allow the Company to expand its market area
into what it believes are desirable banking locations. Through the Acquisitions,
the Company will increase the number of its locations from seven to 11. The
resulting market area of the Company will extend from Seabrook, Texas in eastern
Harris County to Cleveland, Texas in western Liberty County. This expansion will
increase the geographic diversity of the Company's loan portfolio, which is
expected to decrease the Company's overall lending risks. See "The
Acquisitions--Texas Bank" "--Texas National Bank of Baytown" and "--First Bank
of Deer Park."
The Acquisitions are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1997.
The acquisition of Texas Bank is expected to occur simultaneously with the
closing of the Offering, and the acquisitions of TNB and First Bank are expected
to occur on or about November 21, 1997. The closing of the acquisition of Texas
Bank is a condition to the closing of the Offering.
Texas Bank's main office is in Baytown, and it has a branch in Mont Belvieu.
The acquisition of Texas Bank will give the Company a presence in Baytown and
will allow it to expand its existing operations in the Mont Belvieu area.
Baytown is a community of over 60,000 people located on the Houston Ship Channel
in eastern Harris County. Baytown is home to a number of petrochemical plants
and refineries. Texas Bank is located on the north end of a north-south corridor
that is the center of Baytown's residential and business growth. Texas Bank is
the only commercial bank located on the northern end of the city. Due to a lack
of commercial bank competition, management believes that Baytown is
under-banked. In addition to the Baytown presence, the acquisition of Texas Bank
will give the Company an additional facility in Mont Belvieu. The Mont Belvieu
location will serve as the basis for the Company's expansion into the sale of
insurance products. At June 30, 1997, Texas Bank had assets of approximately
$41.5 million and deposits of $37.7 million.
TNB, which is also located in Baytown, will, when combined with Texas Bank,
broaden the Company's expansion into the Baytown market. TNB is located on the
south end of the north-south corridor on which Texas Bank is located. The
acquisition of TNB will enhance the Company's presence in the Baytown market and
provide a link to LaPorte, located to the south of Baytown. The TNB location
will give the Company access to industrial and blue collar neighborhoods as well
as the industrial, petrochemical and services areas of Baytown. TNB had assets
of $14.1 million and deposits of $12.4 million at June 30, 1997.
First Bank is located in Deer Park, Texas. The acquisition of First Bank
will provide the Company its first presence in Deer Park, a community of 27,000
people located on the south side of the Houston Ship Channel. The Deer Park
economy is closely linked to the petrochemical industry. First Bank is the only
community bank in Deer Park. The positive name recognition of both First Bank
and the Bank should allow the Company to acquire a larger market share in Deer
Park and capture some of the growth that the area is experiencing. A director of
the Bank who previously served as chairman of the Deer Park branch of one of the
large national banking organizations is expected to be instrumental in expanding
the Company's
5
<PAGE>
business in this market. At June 30, 1997, First Bank had assets of $32.9
million and deposits of $26.8 million.
Management of the Company believes that the Acquisitions present an
excellent opportunity for increased earnings and diversification of loan mix.
TNB and First Bank have traditionally maintained low loan to deposit ratios. The
Company believes that it can increase the amount of loans originated from these
locations by enhancing marketing efforts, expanding loan products and utilizing
the Company's approach to sales and service. Management of the Company also
believes that the opportunity exists for significant cost savings from the
Acquisitions, including data processing consolidations and other operational
efficiencies.
The table below presents certain unaudited condensed and consolidated
historical financial and operating data for the Company and certain unaudited
pro forma condensed financial and operating data for the Company after giving
effect to (i) the Offering, (ii) the Acquisitions as if they had each occurred

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $380,000 or
$0.26 per share compared to $288,000 or $0.20 per share for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, an increase of 31.9%. Net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 was $1,235,000 or $0.86 per share compared to
$1,180,000 or $0.82 per share in the first nine months of 1996, an increase of
4.7%. The improvement in both periods was primarily the result of an increase in
net interest income resulting from the Company's continued efforts to broaden
and expand its lending focus from the indirect consumer market into higher
yielding commercial, SBA, real estate and direct consumer loans along with the
resulting higher volume of earning assets from the acquisition of the deposits
of the branch of a commercial bank in August, 1996.
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate
were 0.46% at September 30, 1997, a slight improvement over 0.48% at September
30, 1996. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was
687.9% at September 30, 1997 compared to 633.3% at September 30, 1996.

RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS. IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN,
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY IN EVALUATING THE COMPANY
BEFORE PURCHASING THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE
FOLLOWING DESCRIBES ALL MATERIAL RISKS OF AN INVESTMENT IN COMMON STOCK.
POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT ON EARNINGS FROM THE ACQUISITIONS
As a result of the Acquisitions, the Company's asset size will increase
substantially. The Company has not previously consummated an acquisition on the
same scale as the Acquisitions. The future prospects of the Company will depend,
in significant part, on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the
Company's ability to integrate the Acquisitions; its ability to compete
effectively in the new market areas of Baytown and Deer Park; its success in
retaining earning assets, including loans, acquired in the Acquisitions; its
ability to generate new earning assets; its ability to achieve significant cost
savings; and its ability to attract and retain qualified management and other
appropriate personnel. No assurance can be given with respect to the Company's
ability to accomplish any of the foregoing or that the Company will be able to
achieve results in the future similar to those achieved in the past or that the
Company will be able to manage effectively the growth resulting from the
Acquisitions. Certain officers and directors of the institutions to be acquired
in the Acquisitions will not be subject to non-competition agreements and may
compete against the Company. As a result of the Acquisitions, the Company's
leverage ratio will fall from 7.25% at June 30, 1997 to 5.82% on a pro forma
basis. Similarly, the Company's Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio will
decline from 10.16% to 9.02%, and the Company's total capital to risk-based
assets ratio will drop from 11.24% to 10.18%. See "The Acquisitions."
In addition, as a result of the Acquisitions, the Company's management must
successfully integrate the operations of Texas Bank, TNB and First Bank with
those of the Company. The operational areas requiring significant integration
include the consolidation of data processing operations, the combination of
employee benefit plans, the creation of joint account and lending products, the
development of unified marketing plans and other related issues. Accomplishment
of these goals will require additional expenditures by the Company which could
negatively impact the Company's net income. Completion of these tasks could
divert management's attention from other important issues. In addition, the
process of combining Texas Bank, TNB and First Bank with the Bank could have a
material adverse effect on the operation of their businesses, which could have
an adverse effect on their combined operations. The Company may also incur
additional unexpected costs in connection with the integration of the
Acquisitions that could negatively impact the Company's net income.
POTENTIAL CREDIT QUALITY ISSUES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITIONS
In connection with the Acquisitions, the Company reviewed the loan
portfolios of Texas Bank, TNB and First Bank. The Company's examinations were
made using criteria, analyses and collateral evaluations that the Company has
traditionally used in the review of its existing business and other previous
acquisitions. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately
$388,000 at Texas Bank (1.96% of total loans and other real estate), $7,000 at
TNB (0.16% of total loans and other real estate), and $200,000 at First Bank
(1.41% of total loans and other real estate). Nonperforming assets at December
31, 1996, totaled approximately $388,000 at Texas Bank (1.95% of total loans and
other real estate), $64,000 at TNB (1.56% of total loans and other real estate)
and $278,000 at First Bank (2.06% of total loans and other real estate).
At June 30, 1997, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.24% of total
loans, while on a pro forma basis assuming consummation of the Acquisitions, the
Company's allowance for loan losses would have been 1.33% at June 30, 1997. At
December 31, 1996, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.19% of total
loans, while on a consolidated basis as if the Acquisitions had occurred as of
December 31, 1996, the Company's allowance for loan losses would have been
1.29%.
16
<PAGE>
BUSINESS CONCENTRATION
Approximately 69.46% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of June 30,
1997, was comprised of consumer loans, 88.72% of which consisted of "indirect
dealer paper" (61.63% of the Company's total loan portfolio consisted of such
indirect dealer paper). These are installment loans, with typical maturities of
three to five years, which are originated by automobile dealers for the purpose
of financing consumer automobile purchases and are collateralized by the
automobile purchased by the borrower. The Company purchases such installment
loans without recourse from various automobile dealers located in the greater
Houston area and is solely responsible for the collection of such loans. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Loan Portfolio." Reduction in the amount of indirect dealer paper
sold by dealerships to the Company could adversely affect the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company competes
for such "indirect dealer paper" with credit unions, other banks, financial
institutions and captive finance companies, some of which may have greater
financial resources than the Company.
EXPOSURE TO LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Company's success is dependent to a significant extent upon general
economic conditions in the greater Houston metropolitan area and Texas in
general. The banking industry in the greater Houston metropolitan area and in
Texas is affected by general economic conditions such as inflation, recession,
unemployment and other factors beyond the Company's control. During the mid
1980s, severely depressed oil and gas prices materially and adversely affected
the Texas and Houston economies, causing recession and unemployment in the
region and resulting in excess vacancies in the Houston real estate market and
elsewhere in the state. Since 1987, the Texas and Houston economies have
improved in part due to their expansion into non-energy related industries.
Nevertheless, the economy in the market areas of the Company and the banks to be
acquired remain somewhat dependent on the petrochemical industry. Any material
downturn in this industry could have an adverse effect on the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company. In addition, as the Texas and
Houston economies have diversified away from the energy industry, they have
become more susceptible to adverse effects resulting from recession in the
national economy. Economic recession over a prolonged period or other economic
dislocation in Texas and the Houston area could cause increases in nonperforming
assets, thereby causing operating losses, impairing liquidity and eroding
capital. There can be no assurance that future adverse changes in the Texas and
Houston economies would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, resulting operations or cash flows.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company's earnings depend to a great extent on "rate differentials,"
which are the differences between interest income earned on loans and
investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings.
These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the Company's
control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various
governmental and regulatory authorities. Increases in the federal funds rate by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board")
usually lead to rising interest rates, which affect the Company's interest
income, interest expense and investment portfolio. Also, governmental policies
such as the creation of a tax deduction for individual retirement accounts can
increase savings and affect the cost of funds. From time to time, maturities of
assets and liabilities are not balanced, and a rapid increase or decrease in
interest rates could have an adverse effect on the net interest margin and
results of operations of the Company. The nature, timing and effect of any
future changes in federal monetary and fiscal policies on the Company and its
results of operations are not predictable. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Interest Rate
Sensitivity and Liquidity."
17
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of the
Company depends principally upon the Company's ability to compete in the market
areas in which its banking operations are located. The Company competes with
other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit
unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and
investment banking firms, asset-based non-bank lenders and certain other
nonfinancial institutions, including retail stores which may maintain their own
credit programs and certain governmental organizations which may offer more
favorable financing than the Company. Many of such competitors may have greater
financial and other resources than the Company. The Company has been able to
compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer
service, technology and local office decision-making, by establishing long term
customer relationships and building customer loyalty, and by providing products
and services designed to address the specific needs of its customers. Although
the Company has been able to compete effectively in the past, no assurances may
be given that the Company will continue to be able to compete effectively in the
future. Various legislative acts in recent years have led to increased
competition among financial institutions. There can be no assurance that the
United States Congress or the Texas Legislature will not enact legislation that
may further increase competitive pressures on the Company. Competition from both
financial and nonfinancial institutions is expected to continue. See "The
Company-- Competition."
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Bank holding companies and banks operate in a highly regulated environment
and are subject to extensive supervision and examination by several federal and
state regulatory agencies. The Company is subject to the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and to regulation and supervision by the
Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, as a national banking association, is subject
to regulation and supervision by the OCC and, as a result of the insurance of
its deposits, is also subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). These regulations are intended
primarily for the protection of depositors and consumers, rather than for the
benefit of investors. The Company and the Bank are subject to changes in federal
and state law, as well as changes in regulation and governmental policies,
income tax laws and accounting principles. In the past, governmental funding for
SBA loans has been suspended, causing a disruption of the Company's SBA program.
There can be no guarantee that a disruption of the SBA program will not occur in
the future or that the SBA program will not be significantly reduced or
eliminated. The effects of any potential changes cannot be predicted but could
adversely affect the business and operations of the Company and the Bank in the
future. See "Supervision and Regulation."
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a policy which requires a bank holding
company, such as the Company, to serve as a source of financial strength to its
banking subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board has ordered bank holding
companies to contribute cash to their troubled bank subsidiaries based upon this
"source of strength" policy, which could have the effect of decreasing funds
available for distributions to stockholders. In addition, a bank holding company
in certain circumstances could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an
undercapitalized banking subsidiary. Neither the Bank nor any of the banks to be
acquired are currently undercapitalized, but there is no guarantee that they
will not become undercapitalized in the future. See "Supervision and
Regulation."
DIVIDEND HISTORY AND RESTRICTIONS ON ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS
While the Company has paid cash dividends on the Common Stock since December
of 1992 and currently pays quarterly dividends aggregating $0.24 per share per
annum, there is no assurance that the Company will pay dividends on the Common
Stock in the future. In the future, the declaration and payment of dividends on
the Common Stock will depend upon the earnings and financial condition of the
Company, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory
climate, the Company's
18
<PAGE>
ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to the Common Stock and
other factors deemed relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. It is the
policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash
dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and
only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization's
expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank
holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines
the bank holding company's ability to serve as a source of strength to its
banking subsidiaries. See "Dividend Policy."
The Company's principal source of funds to pay dividends on the shares of
Common Stock will be cash dividends that the Company receives from the Bank. The
payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to certain
restrictions imposed by federal banking laws, regulations and authorities. Prior
to declaring a dividend, a national bank must transfer to surplus 10% of its net
profits earned since its last dividend unless its surplus equals or exceeds
stated capital. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's surplus exceeded its stated
capital. Without approval of the OCC, dividends may not be paid in excess of a
bank's total net profits for that year, plus its retained profits for the
preceding two years, less any required transfers to capital surplus. As of
September 30, 1997, an aggregate of approximately $4.1 million was available for
payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company under applicable restrictions,
without regulatory approval. In connection with the Acquisitions, the Bank
intends to pay a dividend of up to $8.3 million to the Company and has received
regulatory approval for this dividend. As a result of this dividend, the Bank
will eliminate its net profits for this year and retained profits for the two
prior years and absent prior regulatory approval, will be able to pay dividends
only out of future earnings. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank."
The federal banking statutes prohibit federally insured banks from making
any capital distributions (including a dividend payment) if, after making the
distribution, the institution would be "undercapitalized" as defined by statute.
In addition, the relevant federal regulatory agencies also have authority to
prohibit an insured bank from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice, as
determined by the agency, in conducting an activity. The payment of dividends
could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice, depending on
the financial condition of the Bank. Regulatory authorities could impose
administratively stricter limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay
dividends to the Company if such limits were deemed appropriate to preserve
certain capital adequacy requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Capital Resources" and
"Supervision and Regulation."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company and the Bank are dependent on certain key personnel including L.
D. Wright and Albert D. Fields, who are considered to be important to the
success of the Company. The unexpected loss of such personnel or other members
of senior management could have an adverse effect on the Company and the Bank.
The Company has obtained "key man" life insurance on Mr. Wright in the amount of
$1.0 million and has entered into an employment agreement (which includes
certain non-competition covenants) with Mr. Wright in an effort to assure the
continued availability of his services to the Company.
POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain
provisions which may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or
change of control of the Company. These provisions include: (i) a Board of
Directors classified into three classes of directors with the directors of each
class having staggered, three-year terms, (ii) a provision that any special
meeting of stockholders of the Company may be called only by a majority of the
Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the holders of
at least 50% of the shares entitled to vote on the matter and that any action
required or permitted to be taken by the Company's stockholders may not be
effected by consent in writing, (iii) a provision establishing certain advance
notice procedures for nomination of candidates for
19
<PAGE>
election as directors and for stockholder proposals to be considered at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders and (iv) a provision that denies
stockholders the right to amend the Bylaws of the Company. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation provide for noncumulative voting for directors and
authorize the board of directors of the Company to issue shares of preferred
stock of the Company, $1.00 par value per share, without stockholder approval
and upon such terms as the Board of Directors may determine. The issuance of
preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with
possible acquisitions, financings and other corporate purposes, could have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from acquiring, a controlling interest in the
Company. See "Supervision and Regulation," "Description of Securities of the
Company--Preferred Stock," and "Texas Law and Certain Provisions of the Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws."
MANAGEMENT'S OWNERSHIP INTEREST AND POSSIBLE EFFECTS
After the consummation of the Offering, the executive officers and directors
of the Company will beneficially own 45.09% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, and approximately 43.11% of such shares of Common Stock if the
Underwriter's over-allotment option is fully exercised. Accordingly, these
executive officers and directors will be able to influence, to a significant
extent, the outcome of all matters required to be submitted to the Company's
stockholders for approval, including decisions relating to the election of
directors of the Company, the determination of day-to-day corporate and
management policies of the Company and other significant corporate transactions.
See "Management," "Principal Stockholders" and "Description of Securities of the
Company."
NO PRIOR TRADING MARKET
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock have been approved for quotation on the
Nasdaq/National Market under the symbol "BAYB." The Underwriter has advised the
Company that it intends to make a market in the Common Stock as long as the
volume of trading activity in the Common Stock and certain other market making
conditions justify doing so. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that an
active public market will develop or be sustained after the Offering or that if
such a market develops, investors in the Common Stock will be able to resell
their shares at or above the initial public offering price. Making a market
involves maintaining bid and asked quotations for the Common Stock and being
available as principal to effect transactions in reasonable quantities at those
quoted prices, subject to various securities laws and other regulatory
requirements. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of
depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the presence in the marketplace of
willing buyers and sellers of the Common Stock at any given time, which presence
is dependent upon the individual decisions of investors over which neither the
Company, the Underwriter nor any other market maker has any control. After the
consummation of the Offering, approximately 45.09% of the outstanding Common
Stock will be held by the executive officers and directors of the Company. The
initial public offering price of the shares of Common Stock will be determined
by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter and will not necessarily
bear any relationship to the Company's book value, past operating results,
financial condition or other established criteria of value and may not be
indicative of the market price of the Common Stock after the Offering. See
"Nature of the Trading Market and Market Prices" and "Underwriting" for
information relating to the method of determining the initial public offering
price. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and
volume volatility. These market fluctuations may be unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies whose shares are traded and may adversely
affect the market price of the Common Stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
The Company will have approximately 1,958,907 shares of Common Stock
outstanding after the Offering. The Company, its directors and executive
officers, the related interests of such directors and executive officers and
holders of 5.0% or more of the Common Stock (who collectively will own 45.09% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the consummation of the Offering)
have agreed with the
20
<PAGE>
Underwriter not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of
their shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus without the permission of the Underwriter. The currently outstanding
shares of Common Stock which are not subject to such agreement are held by
approximately 279 stockholders of record, and virtually all of such shares will
be freely tradable in accordance with Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. In
addition, all of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering will generally
be freely tradable under the Securities Act. No prediction can be made as to the
effect, if any, that future sales of Common Stock or the availability of Common
Stock for future sale will have on the market price of the Common Stock
prevailing from time to time. Sales of a substantial number of such shares in
the future, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely
affect the market price of the Common Stock. See "Management" and "Principal
Shareholders."
REGULATION OF CONTROL
Individuals, alone or acting in concert with others, seeking to acquire more
than 10% of any class of voting securities of the Company must comply with the
Change in Bank Control Act, which requires the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve Board for any such acquisition. Entities seeking to acquire 5% or more
of any class of voting securities of, or otherwise to control, the Company must
obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA.
Accordingly, prospective investors need to be aware of and to comply with these
requirements, if applicable, in connection with any purchase of shares of the
Common Stock offered hereby.
DILUTION OF COMMON STOCK
Investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in the Offering will incur
immediate dilution of approximately 49.4% in their investment, in that the pro
forma net tangible book value of the Company after the Offering will be
approximately $8.09 per share compared to the initial public offering price of
$16.00 per share. An additional 90,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued if
the Underwriter's over-allotment is fully exercised. Options to purchase a total
33,300 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Company's stock option
plans at June 30, 1997, of which 6,660 were exercisable at a price of $7.05 per
share. Pursuant to the Company's Phantom Plan, 66,630 shares of Common Stock may
be issued. If the 90,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the
Underwriter's over-allotment, the 6,660 shares of Common Stock exercisable
pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and the 66,630 shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Phantom Plan were included in the foregoing
calculation, the pro forma net tangible and net book value of the Common Stock
would have been $8.77 and $12.17 per share, respectively, and the per share
dilution to new investors would be $7.23 and $3.83, respectively. The Company's
present stockholders, including officers and directors, will have an increase in
the net tangible and net book value of their shares as a result of the Offering.
The Acquisitions will result in a dilution to the net tangible book value of the
Company's present stockholders although such dilution will be less than the
dilution to new investors. See "Dilution."
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK
The effects of the issuance of shares of preferred stock, $1.00 per share
par value, of the Company ("Preferred Stock") on the holders of Common Stock
could include, among other things, (i) reduction of the amount otherwise
available for payments of dividends on Common Stock if dividends are payable on
the series of Preferred Stock; (ii) restrictions on dividends on Common Stock if
dividends on the series of Preferred Stock are in arrears; (iii) dilution of the
voting power of Common Stock if the series of Preferred Stock has voting rights,
including a possible "veto" power if the series of Preferred Stock has class
voting rights; (iv) dilution of the equity interest of holders of Common Stock
if the series of Preferred Stock is convertible, and is converted, into Common
Stock; and (v) restrictions on the rights of holders of Common Stock to share in
the Company's assets upon liquidation until satisfaction of any liquidation
preference granted to the holders of the series of Preferred Stock. Holders of
Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any
Preferred Stock that may be issued. See "Description of Securities of the
Company."

THE COMPANY
STRATEGY
The Company is headquartered in LaPorte, Texas, located next to Galveston
Bay in eastern Harris County, the county that comprises most of the greater
Houston metropolitan area. The Company's strategic goal is to be the premier
provider of financial services to small and medium-sized businesses and
individuals in the eastern portion of the Houston metropolitan area. There is,
however, no guarantee that the Company will achieve its strategic goal or any
estimate of when such goal will be achieved. Management believes that its
strategic goal can be achieved and maintained through the following:
- Superior Customer Service--Through technology and a focus on prompt,
personal service the Company has successfully competed with much larger
institutions. For example, the Company has enhanced its relationship
banking capabilities by marketing to the top 15% of its customer base. The
top 5% of the Company's customers are provided with a pass key which
enables them to enter the Bank through a private entrance before and after
normal banking hours and are assigned a specific Bank officer to service
their banking needs. The Company has made significant investments in
technology which management believes will allow it to compete with any
super-regional or national banking organization with respect to
communications and electronic convenience to the customer.
- Motivated Employees--The Company continually trains its employees in the
areas of successful sales and service, long-term customer relationships,
teller excellence, business development and consumer lending. As part of
this process, virtually every employee is placed on incentive and merit
standards which award compensation based on the achievement of sales
ratios and other business development-related goals.
- A Full Range of Products--The Company offers a wide variety of lending
products including term loans, lines of credit and fixed asset loans to
small and medium-sized businesses, and offers its consumer customers a
full range of products, including automobile loans, home improvement loans
and personal loans. In addition, the Company has established "niche"
products such as loans guaranteed by the SBA, commercial loans to
owner-operated manufacturing and petrochemical service businesses,
"indirect" installment lending and factoring. To complement its
traditional banking products, the Company endeavors to be a full financial
services organization and has developed additional financial services such
as a brokerage services and annuity vehicles and is in the process of
forming an independent insurance agency offering a full line of commercial
and consumer insurance products.
- Enhanced Delivery System--The Company plans to enhance its existing
delivery system by expanding its branch network, either by acquisitions or
de novo branches, in the eastern portion of the Houston metropolitan area,
and through the establishment of additional LPOs outside of this area in
order to market the Company's niche products.
In addition to these strategic advantages, management believes the following
financial initiatives will help the Company increase profitability and maximize
stockholder value:
- Changing Loan Mix--In 1988, the Company initiated a program of purchasing
indirect loans, which are installment loans originated by automobile
dealers for the purpose of financing consumer purchases. The Company
purchases almost exclusively "A"-rated loans. There is no objective
standard for "A"-rated loans, but such loans are viewed by management as
the most creditworthy types of loans, in that they possess low loan to
value ratios and are made to stable borrowers with well established, good
credit histories. Management believes that the program has been successful
both from the standpoint of growth and credit quality. However, because of
increasing competition and accompanying pressure on net interest margins
in the indirect market, management has broadened its focus to expand its
other niche lending products, including SBA guaranteed credits
22
<PAGE>
via the Company's three LPOs, commercial lending to local manufacturing and
petrochemical service companies and accounts receivable factoring. These
are generally higher yielding products which management views as having
strong growth potential in the Company's market area. If the Company is
successful in growing these niche products, its net interest margin should
be positively affected.
- Increasing Fee Income Sources--To supplement the noninterest income
produced from its niche lending and deposit products, the Company is
developing other sources of fee income. The Company currently has 12 Class
1 licensed insurance agents and four licensed brokers assisting customers
with fixed rate brokerage and annuity products. By the end of 1998,
management expects to have licensed agents offering alternative
investments at each branch location. The Bank has filed an application for
a license to operate a full service insurance agency from its Mont Belvieu
location and has received approval from the OCC to form an operating
subsidiary to house the insurance agency. The Company expects to receive
approval of its application for a license to operate a full service
insurance agency from Mont Belvieu in the fourth quarter of 1997. The
Company is also currently negotiating to purchase an insurance agency
which has operated with a historic record of profitability. The Company
has reached a verbal agreement to acquire the insurance agency, but an
agreement has not yet been reduced to writing, and there is no assurance
that such an acquisition will be consummated. If the Company is successful
in its plan to acquire the insurance agency, it is expected that such
acquisition will occur in the second quarter of 1998. The revenues and
earnings of the insurance company are not expected to materially affect
the revenues and earnings of the Company.
- Improved Efficiency--Management believes that the Acquisitions will create
economies of scale and help to improve the Company's efficiency ratio.
Significant cost savings opportunities exist, including headcount
reductions, cuts in director fees and reduced administrative expenses.
Although conversion of the acquired banks' data processing operations onto
the Company's proprietary system will result in significant initial costs,
management believes that substantial cost savings will be achieved on an
ongoing basis.
- Core Deposit Base--The Company has a relatively low cost funding base made
up primarily of core deposits along with a relationship driven public
deposit network. At June 30, 1997, the Company's weighted average cost of
deposits was 3.24%, a slight decrease from the year end figure of 3.32%
and down significantly from the December 31, 1995 level of 3.55%. This low
cost of funds has allowed the Company to price its loan products
competitively while still maintaining an attractive net interest margin.
There is no assurance that the foregoing financial initiatives will be
realized or any estimate of when they will be achieved.
BUSINESS
The Company's commitment to being the premier provider of financial services
in the eastern portion of the greater Houston metropolitan area is reflected in
the types of products and services that it makes available to its business
customers and consumers. The Company offers a wide variety of lending products,
including term loans, lines of credit and fixed asset loans to small and
medium-sized businesses, and offers consumers automobile, home improvement and
personal loans. In addition, the Company has also established the following
niche products:
- Indirect Lending--In 1988, the Company initiated a program of purchasing
indirect loans from automobile dealers. The Company purchases almost
exclusively "A"-rated loans from a select list of dealers after performing
its own analysis of the loan package. At June 30, 1997, the Company's loan
portfolio held a total of $71.0 million in indirect loans with an
associated delinquency ratio of
23
<PAGE>
0.56%. Senior management of the Company has extensive experience in
indirect automobile financing as well as consumer lending in general.
Because of increasing competition and accompanying pressure on net interest
margins in the indirect market, management has shifted its focus to its other
niche lending products, as described below. The Company does not intend to exit
the indirect business, but rather to grow other niche products in order to
further diversity its lending risk.
- SBA Lending--The Bank is a Preferred Lender under the federally guaranteed
SBA lending program. Under this program, the Bank originates and funds SBA
7-A and 504 chapter loans qualifying for federal guarantees of 75% to 90%
of principal and accrued interest. The guaranteed portion of these loans
is generally sold into the secondary market with servicing retained.
Depending upon management's view of prepayment expectations, the
guaranteed portions are sold either at par, retaining a larger servicing
spread (generally 350-400 basis points), or at a premium (approximately
10% currently) with a small servicing spread retained. At June 30, 1997,
the Company's loan portfolio held a total of $5.1 million in the retained
portion of SBA commercial and real estate loans. The Company uses its
three LPOs which are located around the City of Houston to generate SBA
loans. The LPO lenders are specially trained in SBA loan production. Each
LPO lender is paid a salary plus a commission based upon closed loans
produced. The LPO lenders generate the potential customer prospects and
produce the SBA loan package using packaging software loaded in notebook
computers. Following loan committee approval, the LPO lenders direct the
customers to closing and servicing specialtists located in the main
banking office. As additional markets are identified and skilled lenders
become available, the Company expects to continue to expand its generation
of SBA and other government guaranteed business loan products through
additional LPOs.
- Commercial Lending--The Company's primary market is located in the heart
of the eastern Harris County manufacturing and petrochemical district. The
Company has gained an expertise in fulfilling the banking needs of the
businesses that service this industry, many of which are owner-operated,
and believes that it will better be able to serve the needs of these
businesses utilizing the increased lending limit which will result from
the Acquisitions. At June 30, 1997, the Company's loan portfolio held a
total of $13.2 million in commercial loans excluding factored receivables
and commercial SBA loans.
- Factoring--To better serve its commercial markets, in 1996 the Company
established a receivables factoring unit catering to service companies and
suppliers who deal with major corporations in the Houston area industrial
complex. The accounts receivable line of credit financing facility relies
heavily on the quality of the business customer's accounts receivable
which, if monitored and controlled properly, limits the financial risks to
the Company associated with this short-term business financing. The
Company plans to further develop its factoring capability and views this
business as a growth area. The Company's loan portfolio held a total of
$760,000 in factored receivables at June 30, 1997.
The Company funds its lending activities primarily from its core deposit
base. These deposits are gathered from the local market and no material portion
is dependent upon any one person, entity or industry. The Company also pursues
public deposits from entities such as schools, cities and colleges. At June 30,
1997, core deposits represented 93.1% and public deposits represented 3.0% of
total deposits. The Company has developed an ability to compete with regional
banks for public deposits by competitive pricing and developing continuing
relationships based on service with the individuals responsible for the
administration or selection of financial institutions to hold these funds.
The Company actively and continually trains its employees to develop and
maintain long-term banking relationships. The Company contracts with Omega
Performance, a leading trainer of bank employees in the United States, to
provide training in the areas of successful sales and service, establishing
24
<PAGE>
customer relationships, teller excellence, business development and consumer
lending. As part of this process, virtually every Company employee is placed on
incentive and merit standards which award compensation based on the achievement
of sales ratios and other business development-related indicia.
The Company has enhanced its relationship banking capabilities by marketing
individually to the top 5% of its customer base (Tier 1 accounts) and the next
10% of its customer base (Tier 2 accounts). The Tier 1 customers are provided
with a pass key which enables them to enter the Bank through a private entrance
before and after normal banking hours and are assigned a specific Bank officer
to service their banking needs. Each Tier 1 and Tier 2 customer is personally
contacted a minimum of eight times per year by an assigned officer. The Company
builds customer loyalty with responsive local decision making. Through Business
Development Board members, the Company monitors the financial service needs of
its customers.
The Company recently increased its commitment to technology by purchasing an
advanced line of software and installing new communication technology into its
branch network and communication systems. The Company believes that its new
technology will allow it to compete with any super-regional or national banking
organization with respect to communications and electronic convenience to the
customer. Among the products to be offered through this technology are cash
management, lockbox, home banking and Internet capabilities. The Company also
offers debit cards, direct deposit, ACH originations and direct debit services.
The communications network has enabled the Company to establish a call center
staffed by highly trained personnel which provides customers a one point
solution to information inquiries.
The Company's future strategy is to be able to compete effectively not just
with other commercial banks but with a variety of providers of financial
services by providing a responsive brand of relationship banking and a full line
of financial service products, including a full line of brokerage and insurance
products. The Company will be looking for additional acquisitions and branching
opportunities to enhance its retail delivery systems throughout the greater
Houston metropolitan area.
HISTORY
The Company was incorporated as a business corporation in 1982 under the
laws of the State of Texas to be a multi-bank holding company for the Bank,
which was chartered in 1965, and for Bay Port National Bank, which was chartered
in 1979. The two banks merged in 1985 in conjunction with a change in Texas
branching laws. In 1991, the Company began to expand its operations, diversify
its lending base and seek additional deposits by assuming the deposits of
Liberty County Federal Savings and Loan Association and Bayshore Federal Savings
and Loan, which added branch locations in the cities of Liberty, Cleveland and
Seabrook, Texas. In 1994, the Company established a new branch in Pasadena,
Texas. In 1996, the Company assumed the deposits of the Cleveland branch of a
commercial bank and in 1997 opened a grocery store branch in Mont Belvieu,
Texas. Additionally, the Company opened an LPO in the Clear Lake/NASA area in
1995 and two LPOs in Houston in 1996.
The Company currently serves its community from its headquarters in LaPorte
and six full-service branch locations in LaPorte, Liberty, Cleveland, Seabrook,
Pasadena and Mont Belvieu, Texas. The Company also has two LPOs in Houston and
another in the Clear Lake/NASA area. The Acquisitions will add two branch
offices in Baytown, Texas, one office in Mont Belvieu, Texas and one in Deer
Park, Texas.
FACILITIES
The Company conducts business at seven full-service banking locations and
three LPOs. As a result of the Acquisitions, the Company will acquire four
additional full-service branches. The following table sets
25
<PAGE>
forth specific information on each such location. The Company's headquarters are
located at 1001 Highway 146 South in La Porte in a two story office building
owned by the Bank. Unless otherwise noted, all facilities are owned by the
Company.

EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1997, the Company had 116 full-time employees, 24 of
whom were officers. The Company provides medical and hospitalization insurance
to its full-time employees. The Company considers its relations with employees
to be excellent.
COMPETITION
The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of the
Company depends principally on the Company's ability to compete in the market
areas in which its banking operations are located. The Company competes with
other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit
unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and
investment banking firms, asset-based non-bank lenders and certain other
nonfinancial entities, including retail stores which may maintain their own
credit programs and certain governmental organizations which may offer more
favorable financing than the Company. The Company has been able to compete
effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service,
technology and local office decision-making on loans, by establishing long-term
customer relationships and building customer loyalty, and by providing products
and services designed to address the specific needs of its customers. See "Risk
Factors-- Competition."

THE ACQUISITIONS
GENERAL
The Acquisitions will increase the Company's assets from $185.1 million to
$273.2 million as of June 30, 1997 on a pro forma basis. In addition to the
immediate increase in asset size, the Acquisitions are expected to improve
profitability with savings achieved through economies of scale as well as
increased loans through enhanced marketing efforts, expanded loan products and
additional employee training. Although there will be significant nonrecurring
costs incurred in connection with the Acquisitions, such as data processing
conversion operations, management believes that substantial cost savings will
result on an ongoing basis. Additionally, management of the Company views the
relatively low loan limits of each of the three banks to be acquired as a
hindrance to such banks' lending efforts. After the Acquisitions, the Company's
larger loan limit of approximately $4.1 million will allow it to solicit
customers whose loan demands may have been too large for any of the banks
individually. The consolidation in the banking industry has left many
communities with few banks that have the ability and desire to address the needs
of small businesses. The larger regional and national banks are not allocating
resources to address the needs of small business in these markets, and many of
the community banks do not offer the technological and product opportunities
that many small businesses desire. The Company's enhanced technology and product
development and delivery system will allow it to offer services traditionally
offered only by large regional and national banks. Local office decision making
as well as the Company's sales and service culture will give each branch a
community identification. Another significant reason for the Acquisitions is the
opportunity for the Company to expand its market area to desirable banking
locations. Through the Acquisitions, the Company will increase its locations
from seven to 11, and the resulting market area will extend from Seabrook in
eastern Harris County to Cleveland in western Liberty County. Locations in both
residential and work communities will provide convenience to customers and
facilitate the Company's ability to capture both business and individual
relationships.
TEXAS BANK
BUSINESS
Texas Bank was organized as a Texas banking association in 1971, and its
main office is located in Baytown. Baytown is located in eastern Harris County,
approximately 25 miles east of downtown Houston across the Houston Ship Channel
from LaPorte. In addition to its main office, Texas Bank has a branch in Mont
Belvieu, which is located approximately 35 miles east of downtown Houston in
western Chambers County. See the map located on page 2 of this Prospectus. At
June 30, 1997, Texas Bank had total assets of approximately $41.5 million, total
deposits of approximately $37.7 million and total stockholders' equity of
approximately $3.7 million.
Texas Bank is a community bank that offers interest and noninterest-bearing
deposit accounts and makes consumer, commercial and real estate loans. As of
June 30, 1997, Texas Bank's loan portfolio in aggregate book value and as a
percentage of the total loan portfolio consisted of $11.1 million of real estate
loans (56.6% of total loans), $5.9 million of commercial loans (30.1% of total
loans) and $2.6 million of consumer loans (13.3% of total loans). Texas Bank
reported no nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 or December 31,
1995. The allowance for possible loan losses at June 30, 1997 was $174,000 or
0.89% of the gross loan portfolio. As of June 30, 1997, net charge-offs equaled
0.13% of average loans, annualized. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, net charge-offs were 0.04% and 0.71% of average loans, respectively. Other
real estate owned by Texas Bank had an aggregate value at June 30, 1997 of
$388,000, or 0.93% of total assets. Other real estate owned equaled 1.00% of
total assets at December 31, 1996 and 1.06% of total assets at December 31,
1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Texas Bank's net income after
taxes was $166,000, or an annualized return on average assets (ROAA) of 0.78%
and an annualized return on average equity (ROAE) of 9.04%. For the years ended
27
<PAGE>
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, Texas Bank's ROAA equaled 1.31% and
1.21%, respectively, and its ROAE equaled 14.34% and 14.38%, respectively.
The acquisition of Texas Bank will be the Company's first expansion into
Baytown. Baytown is a community of over 60,000 people located on the Houston
Ship Channel in eastern Harris County. Baytown is home to a number of
petrochemical plants and refineries. Texas Bank is located on the north end of a
north-south corridor that is the center of Baytown's residential and business
growth. Texas Bank is the only commercial bank located on the northern end of
the city. Due to a lack of commercial bank competition, management believes that
Baytown is under-banked. In addition to the Baytown presence, the acquisition of
Texas Bank will give the Company an additional facility in Mont Belvieu. Mont
Belvieu is a growing bedroom community located approximately 35 miles east of
downtown Houston. Under current law, banks have the ability to operate
full-service insurance agencies in towns of 5,000 or less. With its location in
a town of less than 5,000, the Mont Belvieu office will serve as the basis for
the Company's expansion into the sale of insurance products.
ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY
On June 24, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Texas Bank Acquisition Agreement") with Texas Bank and the
directors of Texas Bank and their related interests ("Texas Bank Principals")
pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Texas Bank's common stock (the "Texas Bank Common Stock")
through the consolidation of Texas Bank with a subsidiary of the Company formed
solely to facilitate the acquisition of Texas Bank. Texas Bank's stockholders
approved the Texas Bank Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereunder on July 29, 1997. Following the consummation of the acquisition of
Texas Bank by the Company, Texas Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, and, immediately thereafter, Texas Bank will be consolidated with the
Bank with the Bank surviving. The Company has received the necessary regulatory
approvals from the Federal Reserve Board, OCC, FDIC and the Texas Department of
Banking ("Banking Department").
CONSIDERATION FOR TEXAS BANK COMMON STOCK
The Texas Bank Acquisition Agreement provides that upon consummation of the
acquisition of Texas Bank, as aggregate consideration in exchange for their
shares of Texas Bank Common Stock, holders of Texas Bank Common Stock will
receive $5,500,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to the Texas Bank Acquisition
Agreement. If the stockholders' equity of Texas Bank is less than $3,690,000 on
the closing date of the acquisition of Texas Bank, the consideration for the
acquisition of Texas Bank will be reduced to an amount equal to the lesser of
$5,500,000 or the stockholders' equity of Texas Bank multiplied by 1.50042,
which represents the ratio of the equity of Texas Bank at September 30, 1996 to
the negotiated purchase price. In no event will the aggregate consideration to
Texas Bank exceed $5,500,000. The Texas Bank Acquisition Agreement does not
specify a minimum amount of equity for Texas Bank as a condition to closing, but
if the equity of Texas Bank were to fall such that it is a material adverse
change, the Company would not be obligated to consummate the transaction.
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS
At or prior to the consummation of the acquisition of Texas Bank,
non-competition agreements are to be executed by each of the Texas Bank
Principals. The non-competition agreements provide, among other things, that for
two years following the acquisition of Texas Bank, none of the Texas Bank
Principals will (i) become affiliated with any business in Texas Bank's
Community Reinvestment Act assessment area that competes with the Company, (ii)
solicit business from the customers of Texas Bank or (iii) advise any customer
of Texas Bank to cease or diminish doing business with Texas Bank.

LITIGATION
Texas Bank is a defendant in LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH OF CLOVERLEAF, ET AL V. TEXAS
BANK; which is pending in the 133rd Judicial District Court of Harris County,
Texas. The plaintiff claims that Texas Bank wrongfully entered into possession
of the church and school, upon which Texas Bank held a lien, and that Texas Bank
is guilty of conversion of certain personal property located on the premises.
The trial court originally granted summary judgment for Texas Bank, but the
decision was overturned and the matter was sent back to the trial court. The
amount of alleged damages is $2.1 million plus $10.0 million in exemplary
damages. Management of Texas Bank and its counsel, as well as the Company's
management and its independent litigation counsel, believe that the chance for
judgment in favor of the plaintiff is reasonably possible but the exposure of
Texas Bank, if any, will be less than $250,000. There is no guarantee, however,
that the actual liability will not be substantially greater. The Texas Bank
Acquisition Agreement does not provide for indemnification for losses incurred
in connection with this litigation.
CONDITIONS AT CLOSING
The obligations of the parties to complete the acquisition of Texas Bank are
subject to certain conditions, including the conditions that (i) all approvals
of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the transaction have been
received and all applicable statutory waiting periods have expired and (ii) at
the closing date, no action or litigation is pending or threatened, other than
the LIGHTHOUSE litigation, that would adversely affect certain aspects of the
acquisition of Texas Bank. In addition, the Company is not obligated to complete
the acquisition of Texas Bank unless certain conditions have been satisfied or
waived by the Company, including that (i) Texas Bank shall not have suffered a
material adverse change, (ii) Joseph D. Crook, the President and Chairman of
Texas Bank, shall have entered into an employment agreement regarding the
continuation of his employment, (iii) the Company receives releases from the
directors and officers of Texas Bank generally releasing Texas Bank from
virtually all claims by such individuals, (iv) the Company receives
noncompetition agreements from the Texas Bank Principals, (v) all accounting and
tax treatment entries and adjustments for the acquisition of Texas Bank are
satisfactory to the Company, and (vi) Texas Bank shall have been released from
all obligations under its data processing contract. There can be no assurance
that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the
acquisition of Texas Bank will be completed.
Approvals from all regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the
transaction have been received, and all waiting periods will expire prior to
November 12, 1997. No action or litigation is pending or threatened that would
adversely affect the Company's acquisition of Texas Bank. As of the date of this
Prospectus, Texas Bank has not suffered a material adverse change. Joseph D.
Crook has not yet entered into an employment agreement regarding the
continuation of his employment, but the Company intends to waive this condition
to closing. Releases from the officers and directors of Texas Bank and non-
competition agreements from the Texas Bank Principals are expected to be
executed at the closing for the acquisition of Texas Bank. The Company is in the
process of evaluating accounting and tax treatment entries and adjustments to
verify that they are satisfactory. Texas Bank is in the process of obtaining
written confirmation that it is released from all obligations under its data
processing contracts.
The closing date of the acquisition of Texas Bank will be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties to the Texas Bank Acquisition Agreement following the
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing but is expected to occur
simultaneously with the closing of the Offering. Although the acquisition of
Texas Bank is not explicitly conditioned upon the closing of the Offering, the
closing of the Offering is contingent upon the closing of the acquisition of
Texas Bank, and the Company plans to fund the acquisition of Texas Bank with
part of the net proceeds from the Offering.

TEXAS NATIONAL BANK OF BAYTOWN
BUSINESS
TNB, a national banking association, was organized in 1969. The only office
of TNB is located in Baytown, Texas. See the map located on page 2 of this
Prospectus. At June 30, 1997, TNB had total assets of approximately $14.1
million, total deposits of approximately $12.4 million and total stockholders'
equity of approximately $1.6 million.
TNB is a community bank whose business includes conventional consumer and
commercial products and services, including interest and noninterest bearing
depository accounts and commercial, industrial, consumer and real estate
lending. At June 30, 1997, TNB's loan portfolio in aggregate book value and as a
percentage of the total loan portfolio consisted of $2.9 million in real estate
loans (64.4% of total loans), $1.1 million in commercial and industrial loans
(24.5% of total loans), and $500,000 in consumer loans (11.1% of total loans).
TNB reported no nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 or December
31, 1995. The allowance for possible loan losses at June 30, 1997 was $88,000,
or 1.98% of gross loans. As of June 30, 1997, there were no net charge-offs. For
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, net charge-offs were 0.00% and 0.19%
of average loans, respectively. Other real estate owned by TNB had an aggregate
value at June 30, 1997 of $7,000, or .05% of total assets. Other real estate
owned equaled 0.46% of total assets at December 31, 1996 and 1.74% of total
assets at December 31, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, TNB's net
income after taxes was $88,000, or an annualized ROAA of 1.23% and an annualized
ROAE of 11.3%. For the year ended December 31, 1996, net income after taxes was
$146,000, or an ROAA of 1.06% and an ROAE of 9.46%. TNB's 1995 ROAA and ROAE
were 0.96% and 7.78%, respectively.
The acquisition of TNB, along with the acquisition of Texas Bank, will
broaden the Company's expansion into the Baytown market. TNB is located on the
south end of the north-south corridor on which Texas Bank is located. The
acquisition of TNB will enhance the Company's presence in the Baytown market and
provide a link to LaPorte to the south of Baytown. The TNB location will give
the Company access to industrial and blue collar neighborhoods as well as the
industrial, petrochemical and service areas of Baytown.
ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY
On August 7, 1997, the Company and the Bank entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Consolidation (the "TNB Acquisition Agreement") with TNB pursuant to
which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of TNB's
common stock (the "TNB Common Stock") through the consolidation of TNB with a
subsidiary of the Company formed solely to facilitate the acquisition of TNB.
All officers and directors, certain principal stockholders and affiliates
thereof and certain other stockholders who are not officers, directors,
principal stockholders or affiliates thereof, which persons or entities held in
the aggregate 69.8% of the TNB Common Stock, executed a Voting Agreement and
Irrevocable Proxy pursuant to which their shares were voted in favor of the TNB
Acquisition Agreement. Following the consummation of the acquisition of TNB by
the Company, TNB will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and,
immediately thereafter, TNB will be consolidated with the Bank with the Bank
surviving. The Company has received the necessary regulatory approvals from the
Federal Reserve Board and the OCC in connection with the acquisition of TNB.
CONSIDERATION FOR TNB STOCK
The TNB Acquisition Agreement provides that upon consummation of the
acquisition of TNB, holders of TNB Common Stock will receive $2.4 million in
cash as consideration in exchange for their shares of TNB Common Stock.
30
<PAGE>
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS
At or prior to the closing of the acquisition of TNB, non-competition
agreements are to be executed by each of the officers of TNB who is offered and
accepts employment with the Company or the Bank. These agreements provide, among
other things, that for one year following the acquisition of TNB such persons
will not (i) solicit the banking business (loan, deposit or otherwise) of any
then existing customer of TNB or (ii) engage or participate in any business that
is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the business of the Company or
the Bank within a five-mile radius of TNB's existing facility in Baytown, Texas.
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
The obligations of the parties to complete the acquisition of TNB are
subject to certain conditions, including the conditions that (i) all approvals
of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction have been received and all
applicable statutory waiting periods have expired and (ii) that the stockholders
of TNB shall have approved the transactions contemplated by the TNB Acquisition
Agreement. In addition, the Company is not obligated to complete the acquisition
of TNB unless certain conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Company,
including that (i) TNB shall not have suffered any material adverse change in
its financial condition, business or operations (ii) the Company shall have
received at least $8.5 million in net proceeds from this Offering; (iii) no
action or litigation is pending or threatened against TNB that might prevent the
acquisition of TNB or result in a material adverse change in TNB; (iv) the Bank
shall have received a letter from the OCC that loans to a certain borrower and
his affiliated interests which have been deemed by the OCC to have been issued
in excess of TNB's lending limits, will not represent a violation to the Bank
and its directors ("OCC Letter"); (v) TNB's data processing and ATM agreements
shall have been terminated without any penalty or additional liability; (vi) a
certain loan shall be removed from the books of TNB; (vii) the directors and
officers of TNB execute releases generally releasing TNB from virtually all
claims by such individuals; and (viii) each of the officers of TNB who is
offered and accepts employment with the Company or the Bank shall have executed
the non-competition agreements referred to above. TNB is not obligated to
complete the transactions if certain conditions are not met, including the
condition that the Company execute general releases in favor of the directors
and officers of TNB.
Approvals from all regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the
transaction have been received and all applicable waiting periods will expire on
November 7, 1997. The stockholders of TNB approved the TNB Acquisition Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereunder on November 5, 1997. As of the date
of this Prospectus, TNB has not suffered any material adverse change, and no
action or litigation is pending or threatened against TNB that might prevent the
acquisition of TNB or result in a material adverse change in TNB. The Bank has
received the OCC Letter. The Company and TNB are in the process of verifying
that TNB's data processing and ATM contracts will terminate without penalty or
additional liability. The loan to be removed from TNB is a loan to an executive
officer of an affiliate bank of TNB. The loan is performing and the loan balance
as of September 30, 1997 was approximately $240,000. The Board of Directors of
an affiliate bank of TNB has approved the purchase of this loan from TNB, but
the loan has not yet been removed from the books of TNB. The directors and
officers of TNB are expected to execute the releases at the closing of the
acquisition of TNB. Neither the Company nor the Bank has made any formal offers
of employment to any of the officers of TNB but may make such offers to certain
individuals in the near future. Although it is not expected that the Company
will receive net proceeds from the Offering in excess of $8.5 million, the
Company intends to waive this condition to closing provided that the net
proceeds to the Company from the Offering equal or exceed $7.5 million. The $8.5
million amount listed as a condition to closing was included in the TNB
Acquisition Agreement in order to give the Company maximum flexibility with
regard to balancing the funding for the purchase price for the Acquisitions
between existing capital and proceeds from the Offering.
31
<PAGE>
The closing date of the acquisition of TNB will be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties to the TNB Acquisition Agreement following the
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing but is expected to occur on
or about November 21, 1997. The Company plans to fund the acquisition of TNB
through a combination of proceeds from the Offering and a dividend from the Bank
to the Company. There can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions will be
satisfied or waived or that the acquisition of TNB will be completed.
FIRST BANK OF DEER PARK
BUSINESS
First Bank, a Texas banking association, was organized in 1972. The only
office of First Bank is located in Deer Park which is located in eastern Harris
County. See the map located on page 2 of this Prospectus. At June 30, 1997,
First Bank had total assets of approximately $32.9 million, total deposits of
approximately $26.8 million and total stockholders' equity of approximately $3.9
million.
First Bank is a community bank whose business includes conventional consumer
and commercial products and services, including interest and noninterest bearing
depository accounts, commercial, industrial, consumer and real estate lending.
At June 30, 1997, First Bank's loan portfolio in aggregate book value and as a
percentage of the total loan portfolio consisted of $9.8 million in real estate
loans (69.2% of total loans), $3.5 million in commercial and industrial loans
(24.7% of total loans), and $864,000 in consumer loans (6.1% of total loans).
First Bank reported no nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 or
December 31, 1995. The allowance for possible loan losses at June 30, 1997
equaled $355,000, or 2.49% of gross loans. As of June 30, 1997, net charge-offs
equaled 0.01% of average loans, annualized. For the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, net charge-offs (recoveries) were (0.01)% and 0.04% of average
loans, respectively. Other real estate owned by First Bank had an aggregate
value at June 30, 1997 of $200,000, or 0.61% of total assets. Other real estate
owned equaled 0.83% of total assets at December 31, 1996 and 2.67% of total
assets at December 31, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, First
Bank's net income after taxes was $359,000, or an annualized ROAA of 2.06% and
an annualized ROAE of 19.24%. In 1996, First Bank reported an ROAA of 2.21% and
an ROAE of 18.73% and in 1995 First Bank reported an ROAA of 1.80% and an ROAE
of 14.94%.
The acquisition of First Bank will provide the Company a presence in Deer
Park. Deer Park is a community of 27,000 people located on the south side of the
Houston Ship Channel. The Deer Park economy is closely linked to the
petrochemical industry. First Bank is the only community bank in Deer Park. The
positive name recognition of both First Bank and the Bank should allow the
Company to acquire a larger market share in Deer Park and capture some of the
growth the area is experiencing. Wayne Slovacek, a director of the Bank who
previously served as chairman of the Deer Park branch of one of the large
national banking organizations, is expected to be instrumental in expanding the
Company's business in this market.
The Banking Department has alleged that First Bank violated certain laws and
regulations relating to loan concentrations and loan limits by entering into
certain loan participations. Management of First Bank vigorously opposed these
allegations. In April 1995, an appellate court upheld the ruling of the lower
court to affirm the cease and desist order originally issued by the Banking
Department to First Bank in 1992. Because the probability of reversal was
remote, management decided to take no further appellate action.
In an effort to fully comply with the cease and desist order and cooperate
with the Banking Department and without admitting any wrongdoing, First Bank
initiated efforts in 1995 to dispose of the loan participations. On January 27,
1995, First Bank received the payoff of twelve loans in which its participation
totaled approximately $6.1 million. The consideration received totaled
approximately $5.8 million. The $306,000 difference was reserved at December 31,
1994 and charged to other expenses.
32
<PAGE>
In an effort to fully comply with the cease and desist order and cooperate
with the Banking Department, First Bank is actively attempting to market the
remaining nine loans in order to reduce the loan concentration at least to First
Bank's legal lending limit of $550,000. These efforts are fully and timely
communicated to the Banking Department on a monthly basis to obtain approved
time extensions for full compliance. First Bank currently has an extension until
December 31, 1997 to reduce the loan concentration. Management of First Bank
also provides monthly reports to the Board of Directors of First Bank regarding
its efforts to reduce the loan concentration. The balance of the related loans
at September 30, 1997 was approximately $2.2 million, a reduction of
approximately $867,000 from the December 31, 1996 amount of approximately $3.0
million. The Banking Department has required First Bank to include approximately
$155,000 of specific reserves on these loans in its allowance for loan losses.
ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY
On August 7, 1997, the Company and the Bank entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Consolidation (the "First Bank Acquisition Agreement") with First Bank
pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding
shares of First Bank's common stock (the "First Bank Common Stock") through the
merger of First Bank with a subsidiary of the Company formed solely to
facilitate the acquisition of First Bank. Stockholders holding 75.3% of the
First Bank Common Stock executed a Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy
pursuant to which their shares of stock were voted in favor of the First Bank
Acquisition Agreement. Following the consummation of the acquisition of First
Bank by the Company, First Bank will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, and, immediately thereafter, First Bank will be consolidated with the
Bank with the Bank surviving. The Company has filed the necessary regulatory
applications requesting approval from the Federal Reserve Board, OCC, FDIC and
Banking Department and has received the approval of all agencies except the
FDIC. It is currently expected that the approval of the FDIC will be received in
the near future.
CONSIDERATION FOR FIRST BANK STOCK
The First Bank Acquisition Agreement provides that upon consummation of the
acquisition of First Bank, holders of First Bank Common Stock will receive
$7,970,000 in cash as consideration in exchange for their shares of First Bank
Common Stock.
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS
At or prior to the closing of the acquisition of First Bank, non-competition
agreements are to be executed by each of the officers of First Bank who is
offered and accepts employment with the Company or the Bank. These agreements
provide, among other things, that for one year following the acquisition of
First Bank such persons will not (i) solicit the banking business (loan, deposit
or otherwise) of any then existing customers of First Bank or (ii) engage or
participate in any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with
the business of the Company or the Bank within a five-mile radius of First
Bank's existing facility in Deer Park, Texas.
CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
The obligations of the parties to complete the acquisition of First Bank are
subject to certain conditions, including the conditions that (i) all approvals
of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction have been received and all
applicable statutory waiting periods have expired and (ii) that the stockholders
of First Bank shall have approved the transactions contemplated under the First
Bank Acquisition Agreement. In addition, the Company is not obligated to
complete the acquisition of First Bank unless certain conditions have been
satisfied or waived by the Company, including that (i) First Bank shall not have
suffered any material adverse change in its financial condition, business or
operations (ii) the Company shall have received at least $8,500,000 in net
proceeds from this Offering; (iii) no action or litigation is pending or

33
<PAGE>
result in a material adverse change in First Bank; (iv) the Bank shall have
received the OCC Letter; (v) that the directors and officers of First Bank
execute releases generally releasing First Bank from virtually all claims by
such individuals referred to above; and (vi) that each of the officers of First
Bank who is offered and accepts employment with the Company or the Bank shall
have executed the non-competition agreements referred to above. First Bank is
not obligated to complete the transactions if certain conditions are not met,
including the condition that the Company execute general releases in favor of
the directors and officers of First Bank.
Approvals from all regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the
transaction, except the FDIC, have been received. The approval from the FDIC is
expected to be received in the near future. All applicable waiting periods are
expected to expire on or about November 21, 1997. The stockholders of First Bank
approved the First Bank Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereunder on November 5, 1997. As of the date of this Prospectus, First Bank
has not suffered any material adverse change, and no action or litigation is
pending or threatened against First Bank that might prevent the acquisition of
First Bank or result in a material adverse change in First Bank. The Bank has
received the OCC Letter. The directors and officers of First Bank are expected
to execute the releases at the closing of the acquisition of First Bank. Neither
the Company nor the Bank has made any formal offers of employment to any of the
officers of First Bank but may make such offers to certain individuals in the
near future. Although it is not expected that the Company will receive net
proceeds from the Offering in excess of $8.5 million, the Company intends to
waive this condition to closing provided that the net proceeds to the Company
from the Offering equal or exceed $7.5 million. The $8.5 million amount listed
as a condition to closing was included in the First Bank Acquisition Agreement
in order to give the Company maximum flexibility with regard to balancing the
funding for the purchase price for the Acquisitions between existing capital and
proceeds from the Offering.
The closing date of the acquisition of First Bank will be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties to the First Bank Acquisition Agreement following the
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing but is expected to occur on
or about November 21, 1997. The Company plans to fund the acquisition of First
Bank through a combination of proceeds from the Offering and a dividend from the
Bank to the Company. There can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions
will be satisfied or waived or that the acquisition of First Bank will be
completed.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the Offering after
deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses are estimated
to be approximately $8,690,000, or approximately $10,030,000 if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is fully exercised. The Company will use a
portion of the net proceeds from this Offering to fund the $5,500,000 purchase
price for the acquisition of Texas Bank. The remaining $3,190,000 in net
proceeds will be used to fund a portion of the $10,370,000 aggregate purchase
price for the acquisitions of TNB and First Bank. The $7,180,000 balance of the
purchase price for the acquisitions of TNB and First Bank will be funded through
a dividend from the Bank to the Company. See "The Acquisitions."
Pending the application of the net proceeds, the Company intends to invest
such proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing securities, certificates of
deposit or guaranteed obligations of the United States of America.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor. While the Company has declared
34
<PAGE>
dividends on its Common Stock since December of 1992 and currently pays
quarterly dividends aggregating $0.24 per share per annum, there is no assurance
that the Company will continue to pay dividends in the future.
For a foreseeable period of time, the principal source of cash revenues to
the Company will be dividends paid by the Bank with respect to the Bank's
capital stock. There are certain restrictions on the payment of such dividends
imposed by federal banking laws, regulations and authorities. Prior to declaring
a dividend, a national bank must transfer to surplus 10% of its net profits
earned since its last dividend unless its surplus equals or exceeds stated
capital. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's surplus exceeded its stated
capital. Without approval of the OCC, dividends may not be paid in excess of a
bank's total net profits for that year, plus its retained profits for the
preceding two years, less any required transfers to capital surplus. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Capital Resources" and "Supervision and Regulation--The Bank."
In the future, the declaration and payment of dividends on the Common Stock
will depend upon the earnings and financial condition of the Company, liquidity
and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, the
Company's ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to the Common
Stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. See
"Supervision and Regulation" and "Description of Securities of the Company." As
of September 30, 1997, an aggregate of approximately $4.1 million was available
for payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company under applicable
restrictions, without regulatory approval. In connection with the Acquisitions,
the Bank intends to pay a dividend of up to $8.3 million to the Company and has
received regulatory approval for this dividend. As a result of this dividend,
the Bank will eliminate its net profits for the year and retained profits for
the two prior years and absent prior regulatory approval, will be able to pay
dividends only out of future earnings. Regulatory authorities could impose
administratively stricter limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay
dividends to the Company if such limits were deemed appropriate to preserve
certain capital adequacy requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Capital Resources" and
"Supervision and Regulation."

DILUTION
At June 30, 1997, the per share stockholders' equity, or net book value per
share, of the Company was $10.15 per share, and tangible book value was $9.78
per share. Net book value per share represents the Company's total assets less
total liabilities divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding, exclusive of shares subject to currently exercisable options. Net
tangible book value reflects book value under generally accepted accounting
principles reduced by $500,000 in intangible assets such as goodwill and core
deposit intangible.
Net book value dilution per share represents the difference between the
amount per share paid by the purchasers of Common Stock in the Offering and the
pro forma net book value per share of Common Stock immediately after the
completion of the Offering and the Acquisitions. After giving effect to the
Acquisitions, including $6.1 million of goodwill and core deposit intangibles,
the sale by the Company of 600,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at the
public offering price of $16.00 per share, and receipt by the Company of the net
proceeds therefrom, the pro forma net book value per share and net tangible book
value per share of the Company at June 30, 1997, would have been $11.48 per
share and $8.09 per share, respectively. This represents an immediate decrease
in book value per share of $4.52 per share and an immediate decrease in net
tangible book value per share of $7.91 per share to purchasers of shares in the
Offering, as illustrated by the following tables:

The foregoing computations do not take into account the possible exercise of
outstanding stock options granted under the Company's stock option plans, the
Phantom Plan or the possible issuance of up to an additional 90,000 shares of
Common Stock to new investors pursuant to the exercise of an option granted by
the Company to the Underwriter solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in
connection with the Offering. See "Underwriting." Options to purchase a total of
33,300 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Company's stock option
plans at June 30, 1997, of which 6,660 were exercisable at a price of $7.05 per
share. Pursuant to the Phantom Plan, 66,630 shares of Common Stock may be
issued. See "Management--Stock Option and Incentive Plans." If the 90,000 shares
of Common Stock issuable to pursuant to the Underwriter's over-allotment, the
6,660 shares of Common Stock exercisable pursuant to the Company's stock option
plans and the 66,630 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Phantom Plan were
included in the foregoing calculation, the pro forma net tangible and net book
value of the Common Stock would be $8.77 and $12.17 per share, respectively, and
the per share dilution to new
36
<PAGE>
investors would be $7.23 and $3.83, respectively. The Company's present
stockholders, including officers and directors, will have an increase in the net
tangible and net book value of their shares as a result of the Offering. The
Acquisitions will result in a dilution to the net tangible book value of the
Company's present stockholders although such dilution will be less than the
dilution to new investors.

NATURE OF THE TRADING MARKET AND MARKET PRICES
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active public market will
develop or be sustained after the Offering or that if such a market develops,
investors in the Common Stock will be able to resell their shares at or above
the initial public offering price. See "Risk Factors--No Prior Trading Market."
The initial public offering price of the shares of Common Stock will be
determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter and will not
necessarily bear any relationship to the Company's book value, past operating
results, financial condition or other established criteria of value and may not
be indicative of the market price of the Common Stock after the Offering. Among
the factors considered in such negotiations are prevailing market and general
economic conditions, the market capitalizations, trading histories and stages of
development of other traded companies that the Company and the Underwriter
believed to be comparable to the Company, the results of operations of the
Company in recent periods, the current financial position of the Company,
estimates of the business potential of the Company and the present state of the
Company's development and the availability for sale in the market of a
significant number of shares of Common Stock. Additionally, consideration has
been given to the general status of the securities market, the market conditions
for new issues of securities and the demand for securities of comparable
companies at the time the Offering was made. See "Underwriting" for information
relating to the method of determining the initial public offering price. The
shares of Common Stock have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq/National
Market under the symbol "BAYB."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of the Company analyzes the major elements of the Company's balance
sheets and statements of earnings. This section should be read in conjunction
with the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes and other
detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
OVERVIEW
The Company's performance during the six month period ended June 30, 1997,
as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1996, was marked by several
significant events which occurred during 1996. In August 1996, the Company
assumed approximately $12.0 million in deposits related to a branch location in
Cleveland, Texas acquired from a commercial bank (the "Cleveland
Acquisition"),and the Company relocated its existing Cleveland office to the
newly acquired facility. In January 1996, the Company sold land adjacent to its
Spencer banking office located in LaPorte (the "Spencer Office") recognizing a
gain on the sale of $68,000. During the first half of 1996, the Company opened
two additional LPOs in Houston and received its designation as a Preferred SBA
Lender. Also during the first half of 1996, the Company initiated an accounts
receivable factoring program for small to medium size businesses called Cash
Flow Manager which by year end 1996, had outstanding balances in excess of $1.6
million. Balance sheet growth from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997 was primarily
due to the Cleveland Acquisition. The Company's average deposits increased 6.8%
and average gross loans increased 7.1% as a result of both the Cleveland
Acquisition and internally generated growth. Internal growth was a direct
reflection of the Company's commitment to its sales and service culture and to
the success of the Company's three LPOs. The Company's six month 1997 earnings,
however, were affected by certain incremental expenses (salary, occupancy,
communication and technological changes, advertising and other items) related to
the Cleveland Acquisition along with costs relating to the Company's SBA program
and the operation of the LPOs. Additionally, the Company has incurred increased
personnel costs related to its commitment to the development of its sales and
service culture and incentive based compensation.
Net earnings available to common stockholders for the six months ended June
30, 1997 were $855,000, which was $37,000 or 4.1% less than net earnings for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. Excluding the $68,000 gain on the sale of land
adjacent to the Spencer Office recognized by the Company in January 1996,
earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1997 would have been approximately
$7,500 or 1.0% greater than net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Net earnings per share were $0.59 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
$0.62 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Although net interest income was
higher for the six months ended June 30, 1997 than in the comparable 1996
period, this was offset by higher operating expenses which included expenses
related to the Cleveland Acquisition, increased salary and related other
personnel costs and increased advertising costs. The Company's commitment to its
sales and service culture and incentive based employee compensation, along with
maintaining its three LPOs during 1997, were the primary factors increasing
salary and advertising expenses. Annualized return on average assets and an
annualized return on average common equity were 0.93% and 12.80%, respectively,
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 1.04% and 15.14%
respectively, for the same period in 1996.
Total assets at June 30, 1997 increased to $185.1 million from $178.4
million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $6.7 million or 3.8%. Period-end
deposits rose to $169.9 million at June 30, 1997 from $164.3 million at June 30,
1996, an increase of $5.6 million or 3.4%. While the Cleveland Acquisition
created an approximate deposit increase of $12.0 million, the Company
experienced an internal $6.4 million decrease in deposits. This reduction in
deposits is primarily attributable to several large commercial and public funds
customers whose demand and time balances fluctuate with operational needs. Total
40
<PAGE>
stockholders' equity was $13.8 million at June 30, 1997, representing an
increase of $1.8 million or 14.05% over total stockholders' equity of $12.1
million at June 30, 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to the
retention of earnings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on
interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, exceeds interest
expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and other
borrowed funds. Net interest income is the principal source of the Company's
income. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of
earning assets and liabilities, combine to affect net interest income.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3.8 million
compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$200,000 or 5.6%. Net interest income increased as a result of a higher dollar
amount of interest-earning assets derived from the Cleveland Acquisition and
internal loan growth over this period. Average interest-earning assets increased
from 92.98% of total average assets at June 30, 1996 to 93.17% of total average
assets at June 30, 1997. Average gross loans increased to $117.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from $109.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996, an increase of $7.8 million or 7.1%. Internal loan growth accounted
for $7.0 million of this increase, and the Cleveland Acquisition accounted for
the remaining $800,000 of the increase. Additionally, net interest income
increased as a result of the Company's decision to restructure its loan mix from
lower yielding indirect automobile loans into higher yielding direct commercial
and real estate loans. See "--Loan Portfolio."
Net interest income was improved by a decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities from 4.03% to 3.95% through a non-material change
in the Company's overall interest-bearing deposit costs. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased to $138.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $129.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of $8.5 million or 6.5%. This growth was primarily attributable to the
Cleveland Acquisition.
The Company posted net interest margins of 4.46% and 4.52% and net interest
spreads of 3.71% and 3.78% for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30,
1996, respectively. The slight decrease in the net interest margin from the
first half of 1996 to the first half of 1997 reflects a 15 basis point decrease
in the yield on average earning assets and an eight basis point reduction in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the yield on average
earning assets to 7.66% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from 7.81% for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, was primarily attributable to a large
recovery of interest on a charged-off loan. The cost of interest-bearing
liabilities decreased slightly to 3.95% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
from 4.03% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Net interest margin decreased
slightly from 4.52% at June 30, 1996 to 4.46% at June 30, 1997.

The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar
amount of average balances, interest income from average interest-earning assets
and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average
interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax
equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average
balances. There were no nonaccruing loans during the periods covered.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses decreased slightly to $168,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $219,000 for the same time period in 1996, a
decrease of $51,000 or 23.3%. See "--Allowance for Loan Losses."
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income is an important source of revenue for financial
institutions in a deregulated environment. The Company's primary source of
noninterest income is service charges on deposit accounts and other banking
service related fees. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $1.2 million, virtually no change from the same period in 1996.
The following table presents for the periods indicated the major categories
of noninterest income:

<PAGE>
Service charges on deposit accounts is the largest component of noninterest
income and a significant source of revenue to the Company. Additionally, the
Company recognized increased gains on the sale of SBA loans generated by the
LPOs. The decrease in other noninterest income is attributable to the
nonrecurring gain on the sale of land adjacent to the Spencer Office totaling
$68,000 in January of 1996. ATM fee income increased as an additional ATM
facility was installed at the Liberty banking office and the ATM at the Spencer
Office was relocated to a new, more visible location.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
In the six month period ended June 30, 1997, noninterest expenses increased
$300,000 or 9.1% to $3.6 million from $3.3 million for the period ended June 30,
1996. The increase reflects the additional expenses resulting from the Cleveland
Acquisition consummated in the third quarter of 1996, the additional salary and
related expenses associated with the commencement of the operation of two
additional LPOs opened in mid-1996 and increased salary costs, a result of the
Company's commitment to rewarding individual merit in its sales and service
culture.

of noninterest expense:

Employee compensation and benefit expense for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was $1.8 million, an increase of $200,000 or 12.5% from $1.6 million in the
same period of 1996. The increase was principally due to additional staff
associated with the Cleveland Acquisition, the two new LPOs and additional
general staffing hired. Total full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 1997
increased to 116 from 101 at June 30, 1996.
Non-staff expenses increased to $1.8 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997 from $1.7 million for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$100,000 or 5.9%. This increase was largely due to additional expenses
associated with the Cleveland Acquisition, increased advertising costs related
to the Company's SBA program and increased professional fees related to the
sales and service culture, offset by lower data processing costs and ordinary
FDIC-assesssments.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense includes the regular federal income tax at the statutory
rate plus the income tax component of the Texas franchise tax. The amount of
federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the
amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of non-deductible interest
44
<PAGE>
expense and the amount of other non-deductible expenses. Taxable income for the
income tax component of the Texas franchise tax is the federal pre-tax income,
plus certain officers' salaries, less interest income on federal securities. The
income tax component of the Texas franchise tax was zero in the first six months
of 1997 and 1996. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, income tax expense
was $364,000 for an effective tax rate of 29.9%, compared to $408,000, for an
effective tax rate of 31.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The effects of inflation on the local economy and on the Company's operating
results have been relatively modest for the past several years. Since
substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature, such as cash, securities, loans and deposits, their values are less
sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates, which do
not necessarily change in accordance with inflation rates. The Company tries to
control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship
between its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. See "Interest Rate
Sensitivity and Liquidity" below.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Total average gross loans, net of unearned interest, were $117.4 million at
June 30, 1997, an increase of $7.8 million or 7.1% from $109.6 million at June
30, 1996. The Cleveland Acquisition accounted for $800,000 of this growth, while
internally generated loans grew by $7.0 million or 6.4%.
The following table summarizes for the periods indicated the loan portfolio
of the Company by type of loan:

</TABLE>
The lending focus of the Company is on small and medium-sized business loans
on a direct and SBA supported basis and on consumer direct and indirect loans.
The Company initiated an indirect auto paper lending program in 1988. Marketing
is directed to new car dealers with a niche in class "A" credit quality loans.
The Company offers a variety of commercial lending products including term
loans, lines of credit and equipment financing. A broad range of short to
medium-term commercial loans, primarily collateralized, are made available to
businesses for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business
expansion (including acquisitions of real estate and improvements), and the
purchase of equipment and machinery. The purpose of a particular loan generally
determines its structure.
45
<PAGE>
Although its legal lending limit is substantially higher, the Company
generally has not made loans larger than $1.2 million. Loans up to $300,000 are
evaluated and acted upon by an Officers' Loan Committee, which meets twice per
week. Loans above that amount must be approved by the Directors' Loan Committee,
which meets bi-weekly.
Generally, the Company's commercial loans are underwritten in the Company's
market area on the basis of the borrower's ability to service such debt from
identified cash flow. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a
lien on any available real estate, equipment or other assets and obtains a
personal guaranty of the business principals. Working capital loans are
primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily
collateralized by long-term assets.
In addition to commercial loans secured by real estate, the Company makes
commercial mortgage loans to finance the purchase of real property, which
generally consists of real estate on which structures have already been
completed or will be completed and occupied by the borrower. The Company offers
a variety of mortgage loan products which generally are amortized over five to
20 years.
Loans collateralized by single-family residential real estate generally have
been originated in amounts of no more than 80% of appraised value. The Company
requires mortgage title insurance, hazard insurance and flood insurance when
applicable, in the amount of the loan. The Company generally retains and
services all of the originated mortgages. Customers requiring fixed rate full
term loans are accommodated via an automated interactive application process
direct from the Bank's premises to the acquiring mortgage company. As a result,
the Company is able to meet all of the mortgage needs of its present and
potential customer base.
The Company's commercial mortgage loans are secured by first liens on real
estate, typically have both fixed and variable interest rates and amortize over
a 10 to 20 year period with balloon payments due at the end of three to five
years. As a Preferred SBA lender, the Company also issues full term variable
rate real estate loan commitments when the facility is enhanced by the
underlying SBA guaranty. In underwriting commercial mortgage loans,
consideration is given to the property's operating history, future operating
projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition.
The underwriting analysis also includes credit checks, appraisals, environmental
assessments and a review of the financial condition of the borrower.
The Company makes loans to finance the construction of residential and
nonresidential properties. Construction loans generally are secured by first
liens on real estate and have floating rates. The Company conducts periodic
inspections, either directly or through an agent, prior to approval of periodic
draws on these loans. Underwriting guidelines similar to those described above
are also used in the Company's construction lending activities. In keeping with
the community-oriented nature of its customer base, the Company provides
construction and permanent financing for churches located within its market
area.
The Company is an active SBA lender, having achieved the "Preferred Lender"
status, the highest status awarded to a lender by the SBA. The Company uses a
system of satellite LPOs staffed by SBA loan specialists and located in the
Houston market. The LPO lenders generate the potential customer prospects and
produce the SBA loan package using packaging software loaded on notebook
computers. Following loan committee approval, the LPO lender passes the
customers to closing and servicing specialists located in the main banking
office.
The Company provides a factoring product known as "Cash Flow Manager" to
address the working capital needs of businesses which do not meet the loan
guidelines of the Company for commercial lines of credit but are deemed
creditworthy.
Consumer loans made by the Company include automobile loans, recreational
vehicle loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, personal loans
(collateralized and uncollateralized) and deposit account collateralized loans.
The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 84 months and vary based
upon the nature of collateral and size of loan.
46
<PAGE>
Approximately 88.72% of the Company's consumer loan portfolio as of June 30,
1997, was comprised of "indirect loans" (representing 61.63% of the Company's
total loan portfolio). These are installment loans, with typical maturities of
three to five years, which are originated by automobile dealers for the purpose
of financing consumer automobile purchases and sold by automobile dealers to
commercial banks and other sources of financing.
The indirect lending program at the Company has successfully been in place
since 1988. The program, which forms the majority of outstanding loan balances
at the Company, provides for a predictable source of cash flow, liquidity, and
revenue stream which has been beneficial to the Company since its inception.
The Company's indirect loan programs are administered by an experienced
staff specially trained in evaluating and servicing this particular type of
loan. The Company uses three loan buyers with indirect loan experience ranging
from nine to 26 years. Mr. Wright, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
has managed an indirect product line in banks for over 30 years and holds
substantial expertise in the area, having lectured on indirect lending at the
American Bankers Association National Consumer Lending Schools. More recently,
the Company's indirect lending staff was requested by the OCC to conduct a
seminar for its Houston area examiners on the "how to and risks of" indirect
lending.
The Company competes for indirect loans with a number of other financial and
non-financial institutions, including the captive financial services
subsidiaries of automobile manufacturers, on the basis of interest rate and
quality of service. The Company purchases primarily "A"-rated credit quality
loans from new car dealers. To obtain dealer response in this area the Company
must timely provide superior service while purchasing contracts on a consistent
basis. Additionally, the market requires that the Company price products below
the buy rates of the captive finance companies. However, because the niche is
quality driven, the performance of the portfolio warrants more aggressive
pricing.
The Company generally receives credit applications on a daily basis from one
or more of the 20 automobile dealerships from which it actively purchases
indirect auto loans. Upon receipt of a credit application, the Company
undertakes a credit analysis of the prospective purchaser, ordering credit
reports on the borrower which are analyzed by one of the officers specializing
in buying indirect loans. In making credit decisions, such officers evaluate,
among other things, the general credit quality of the applicant, the proposed
income to debt ratio, and residential and employment stability.
The collection of overdue indirect loans is administered by a staff
specially trained for such purpose. Holders of loans that are 10 days past due
generally receive written notice of such delinquency. When any loan becomes 15
days past due, the collectors establish telephone contact with the borrower and
obtain payment promises. If the loan remains past due for 30 days, the Company
generally sends a demand letter requiring payment within 10 days before
asserting its legal rights. The Company's collection staff makes all reasonable
efforts to work out credit problems before the accounts are turned over to
independent repossession agents. Repossessed automobiles are sold as soon as
possible through a number of means in order to minimize any potential losses.
The Company's ongoing experience with indirect loan underwriting and collections
has contributed to a relatively low delinquency rate of 0.56% as of June 30,
1997.
In addition to the underwriting of the individual loan contracts, the
Company requires the automobile dealerships to provide annual financial
information to the Company for financial analysis and review. The Company
believes that it represents a higher risk to do business with dealerships which
have demonstrated financial weakness and which would possibly be unable to
facilitate the return of any rebates due to the Company on payoffs and
repossessions.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
The Company has several procedures in place to assist it in maintaining the
overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Company has established underwriting
guidelines to be followed by its officers. The Company also monitors its
delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company's loan portfolio will not become subject to
increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic
conditions.
The Company has historically had strong asset quality. Nonperforming assets
(nonaccrual loans, repossessed assets, restructured loans and other real estate)
at June 30, 1997 were $537,000 compared to $520,000 at June 30, 1996. The
Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to capital remains low at 3.9% at June
30, 1997 compared to 4.3% at June 30, 1996. The Company records real estate
acquired by foreclosure and repossessed assets at the fair value at the time of
foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are
periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower
of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Repossessed assets are
primarily automobiles and trucks and are presented on the balance sheet as a
component of other assets.
The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing
interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All loans past
due 90 days, however, are placed on nonaccrual status, unless the loan is both
well-secured and in the process of collection. Cash payments received while a
loan is classified as nonaccrual are recorded as a reduction of principal as
long as doubt exists as to collection. The Company is sometimes required to
revise a loan's interest rate or repayment terms in a troubled debt
restructuring. The Company had performing restructured loans at June 30, 1997
48
<PAGE>
of $210,000 and $221,000 at June 30, 1996. The Company's internal loan review
department evaluates additional loans which are potential problem loans as to
risk exposure in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
The Company reviews collateral value on loans secured by real estate during
the internal review process. New appraisals are acquired when loans are
categorized as nonperforming loans or potential problem loans. In instances
where updated appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, an evaluation of the
borrower's overall financial condition is made to determine the need, if any,
for possible write downs or appropriate additions to the allowance for loan
losses.
The following table presents information regarding nonperforming assets at
June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through charges to
earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Management has established
an allowance for loan losses which it believes is adequate for estimated losses
in the Company's loan portfolio. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio,
management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses to the
Bank's Board of Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last
review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its
evaluation, management considers the diversification by industry of the
Company's commercial loan portfolio, the effect of changes in the local real
estate market on collateral values, the results of recent regulatory
examinations, the effects on the loan portfolio of current economic indicators
and their probable impact on borrowers, the amount of charge-offs for the
period, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral security, the
evaluation of its loan portfolio by the loan review function and the annual
examination of the Company's financial statements by its independent auditors.
Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be uncollectible.
The Company follows a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in the
loan portfolio. Through the loan review process, the Company maintains an
internally classified loan watch list which, along with the delinquency list of
loans, helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans classified as "substandard" are
those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly-leveraged
position, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources or poor
financial condition, which may jeopardize recoverability of the debt.
Loans classified as "doubtful/potential loss" are those loans which have
characteristics similar to substandard accounts but with an increased risk that
a loss may occur, or at least a portion of the loan may require a charge-off if
liquidated at present. Although loans classified as substandard do not duplicate
loans classified as doubtful, both substandard and doubtful loans include some
loans that are delinquent at least 30 days or on nonaccrual status. Loans
classified as "potential loss" are those loans which are identified as having a
high probability of being liquidated with loss within the next 12 months.
49
<PAGE>
In addition to the loans on the watch list classified as substandard or
doubtful/potential loss, the Company maintains additional classifications on the
watch list which further aid the Company in monitoring loan portfolios. These
additional loan classifications reflect warning elements where the present
status portrays one or more deficiencies that require attention in the short
term or where pertinent ratios of the loan account have weakened to a point
where more frequent monitoring is warranted. These loans do not have all of the
characteristics of a classified loan (substandard or doubtful/potential loss)
but do show weakened elements as compared with those of a satisfactory credit.
The Company reviews these loans to assist in assessing the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.
In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
management considers the risk classification or delinquency status of loans and
other factors, such as collateral value, portfolio composition, trends in
economic conditions and the financial strength of borrowers. Management
establishes specific allowances for loans which management believes require
reserves greater than those allocated according to their classification or
delinquent status. Additionally, the Company uses three approaches for the
analysis of the performing portfolio: migration, historical and examiner rule of
thumb. These methods are further broken down to identified loan pools within the
Company's portfolio. Using these methodologies, the Company allocates reserves
to each identified loan classification and to performing loan pools. The Company
then charges to operations a provision for loan losses to maintain the allowance
for loan losses at an adequate level determined by the foregoing methodology.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net charge-offs totaled $173,000 or
0.29% of average loans outstanding for the period, compared to $44,000 in net
charge-offs or 0.08% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The Company experienced a $75,000 recovery in the first six months of 1996.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a provision for
loan losses of $168,000 compared to $219,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996. At June 30, 1997, the allowance totaled $1.4 million, or 1.24% of total
loans. Unallocated reserves at June 30, 1997 were $1.2 million.
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of the
allowance for loan losses and other related data:

Reflected above are specific allocations for credits by loan type or pool in
each case. Except for the consumer pool, loans are assessed for risk by an
analysis of the potential exposure to loss, coupled with available cash flow and
secondary sources of repayment.
The largest specific allocation is associated with consumer loans which at
June 30, 1997, represented $80.0 million or 69.46% of the Company's loan
portfolio of $115.2 million. The Company is an active purchaser of indirect auto
loans, which are installment loans originated by automobile dealers, for the
purpose of financing consumer auto purchases. These loans represented $71.0
million of the Company's consumer portfolio at June 30, 1997. This loan pool is
classified by payment status and allocations in the reserve are generated by
past due category. Loans which are 60 days past due are classified as
substandard with the associated specific substandard reserve. Loans which are 90
days past due, and in the process of collection, are classified as
doubtful/potential loss and the specific allocation for this category is
reserved.
The Company believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1997 is
adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio as of such date. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will not sustain losses in future
periods, which could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance at
June 30, 1997.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The Company uses its securities portfolio to ensure liquidity for cash flow
requirements, to manage interest rate risk, to provide a source of income, to
ensure collateral is available for municipal pledging requirements and to manage
asset quality diversification. At June 30, 1997, investment securities totaled
$44.3 million, an increase of $400,000 from $43.9 million at June 30, 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to the investment of additional funds
acquired in the Cleveland Acquisition. At June 30, 1997, investment securities
represented 24.0% of total assets, compared to 24.6% of total assets at June 30,
1996. The yield on the investment portfolio for the six months ended June 30,
1997 was 6.03% compared to a yield of 5.96% for the six months ended June 30,
1996.

To provide flexibility and to actively manage investments held in the
securities portfolio, the Company currently classifies 100% of all securities as
available-for-sale. The following table presents the amount of these securities
and their approximate values at June 30, 1997:

Mortgage-backed securities are securities which have been developed by
pooling a number of real estate mortgages and are principally issued by federal
agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation. These securities are deemed to have high credit
ratings, and minimum regular monthly cash flows of principal and interest are
guaranteed by the issuing agencies. Included in the Company's mortgage-backed
securities at June 30, 1997 were $17.9 million in agency-issued collateralized
mortgage obligations.
At June 30, 1997, 7.8% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company
had final maturities of more than 10 years. However, unlike U.S. Treasury and
U.S. government agency securities, which have a lump sum payment at maturity,
mortgage-backed securities provide cash flows from regular principal and
interest payments and principal prepayments throughout the lives of the
securities. Therefore, the average life, or the average amount of time until the
Company receives the total amount invested, of the mortgage backed security will
be shorter than the contractual maturity. The Company estimates the remaining
average life of the fixed-rate mortgage backed security portfolio to be less
than two years. Mortgage-backed securities which are purchased at a premium will
generally suffer decreasing net yields as interest rates drop because home
owners tend to refinance their mortgages. Thus, the premium paid must be
amortized over a shorter period. Therefore, securities purchased at a discount
will obtain higher net yields in a decreasing interest rate environment. As
interest rates rise, the opposite will generally be true. During a period of
increasing interest rates, fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities do not tend to
experience heavy prepayments of principal and consequently, the average life of
this security will not be unduly shortened. If interest rates begin to fall,
prepayments will increase. Approximately $5.7 million of the Company's
mortgage-backed securities earn interest at floating rates and reprice within
one year, and accordingly are less susceptible to declines in value should
interest rates increase.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND
EQUITY SECURITIES (Statement 115). At the date of purchase, the Company is
required to classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories:
held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. At each reporting date, the
appropriateness of the classification is reassessed. Investments in debt
securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in
the financial statements only if management has the positive intent and ability
to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as
trading and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized
gains and losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as either
held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and measured at
fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses
reported, net of tax, in a separate component of stockholders' equity until
realized. In order to pro-actively manage the investment portfolio and
asset/liability position and to respond to changes in the fixed income market,
the Company maintains 100% of securities owned as available-for-sale.
DEPOSITS
The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of
interest rates and terms. The Company's deposits consist of demand, savings,
money market and time accounts. The Company relies primarily on competitive
pricing policies, customer service, and employee goals and referrals to attract
and retain these deposits. The Company does not have any brokered deposits.
The Company's average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 1997
were $167.9 million or 6.7% over average total deposits during the same period
in 1996. The Company's total deposits at June 30, 1997, were $169.9 million, up
$5.6 million or 3.3% over total deposits at June 30, 1996.
The Company's lending and investing activities are funded principally by
deposits, approximately 56.8% of which are demand and savings deposits. Average
noninterest-bearing demand deposits at June 30, 1997 were $30.2 million as
compared to $27.8 million for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $2.4
million or 8.6% over 1996. Approximately 17.9% of average deposits for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 were noninterest-bearing, including demand deposits.
The amount of deposits grew due to the Cleveland Acquisition and internally
generated growth, both commercial and retail, at all other locations.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk Policy,
along with the Company's Investment Policy, provides management with the
necessary guidelines for effective funds management. The Company has established
a measurement system for monitoring its net interest rate sensitivity position.
The Company manages its sensitivity position within established guidelines.
An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined
time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with
general market interest rates. The management of interest rate risk is performed
by analyzing the maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time ("GAP") and
by analyzing the effects of interest rate changes on net interest income over
specific periods of time by projecting the performance of the mix of assets and
liabilities in varied interest rate environments. Interest rate sensitivity
reflects the potential effect on net interest income of a movement in interest
rates. A company is considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive GAP,
when the amount of its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a
given period exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also
maturing or repricing within that time period. Conversely, a company is
considered to be liability sensitive, or having a negative GAP, when the amount
of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given period
exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets also maturing or repricing
within that time period. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative
GAP would tend to affect adversely net interest income, while a positive GAP
would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of
falling interest rates, a
54
<PAGE>
negative GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a
positive GAP would tend to affect net interest income adversely. However, it is
management's intent to achieve a proper balance so that incorrect rate forecasts
should not have a significant impact on earnings.
The following table sets forth an interest rate sensitivity analysis for the
Company at June 30, 1997:

</TABLE>
Shortcomings are inherent in GAP analysis since certain assets and
liabilities may not move proportionally as interest rates change. Consequently,
in addition to GAP analysis the Company uses a simulation model and shock
analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the
balance sheet, respectively. Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities
of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity
data and call options within the investment portfolio. Assumptions based on past
experience are incorporated into the model for non-maturity deposit accounts.
The Company has found that historically, interest rates on these deposits change
more slowly in a rising rate environment than in a declining rate environment.
Based on the Company's June 30, 1997 simulation analysis, the Company estimates
that a 200 basis point rise or decline in rates over the next 12 month period
would have an impact of less than 4.0% on its net interest income for the same
period. The change is relatively small as the Company's goal is to achieve a
proper balance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities to
limit exposure to changes in interest rates. At June 30, 1997, the Company had a
liability sensitive GAP position in the short term (one year and under) and
therefore, would be expected to experience a moderate upward movement in net
interest margin in a declining rate environment and a moderate downward movement
in a rising rate environment. However, as indicated previously, deposit rates
tend to lag the movement in earning assets and this can be incorporated into the
simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a GAP analysis. The
Company maintains a Senior Management Investment Committee and both a Director
and Senior Officer Asset and Liability Management Committee which reviews the
Company's interest rate risk position on a weekly or monthly basis,
respectively.
Liquidity involves the Company's ability to raise funds to support asset
growth or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment
obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate the
Company on an ongoing basis. The Company's liquidity needs are primarily met by
growth in core deposits. Although access to purchased funds from correspondent
banks is available and has been
55
<PAGE>
utilized on occasion to take advantage of investment opportunities, the Company
does not rely on these external funding sources. The cash and federal funds sold
position, supplemented by amortizing investment along with payments and
maturities within the loan portfolio, have historically created an adequate
liquidity position.
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances may be utilized from time to time
as either a short term funding source or a longer-term funding source. FHLB
advances can be particularly attractive as a longer-term funding source to
balance interest rate sensitivity and reduce interest rate risk. The Company is
eligible for two borrowing programs through the FHLB. The first, called "Short
Term Fixed," requires delivery of eligible securities for collateral. Maturities
under this program range from 1-35 days. The Company does not currently have any
borrowings under this program. The Company currently maintains the majority of
its investment securities in safekeeping at the FHLB. At June 30, 1997, the
Company had approximately $21.3 million available for pledging.
The second borrowing program, the "Blanket Borrowing Program," is under a
borrowing agreement which does not require the delivery of specific collateral.
Borrowings are limited to a maximum of 65% of the Company's 1-4 family mortgage
loans. At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in potential
borrowings available under this program.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital management consists of providing equity to support both current and
future operations. The Company is subject to capital adequacy requirements
imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to capital adequacy
requirements imposed by the OCC. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC have
adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing bank holding company and
bank capital adequacy. These standards define capital and establish minimum
capital requirements in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure,
adjusted for credit risk. The risk-based capital standards currently in effect
are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to
differences in risk profiles among bank holding companies and banks, to account
for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid
assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk
categories, each with appropriate relative risk weights. The resulting capital
ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and
off-balance sheet items.
Bank regulatory authorities in the United States have issued risk-based
capital standards by which all bank holding companies and banks are evaluated in
terms of capital adequacy. The risk-based capital standards issued by the
Federal Reserve Board apply to the Company. These guidelines relate a financial
institution's capital to the risk profile of its assets. The risk-based capital
standards require all financial institutions to have "Tier 1 capital" of at
least 4.0% and "total risk-based" capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of at least 8.0%
of total risk-adjusted assets. "Tier 1 capital" generally includes common
stockholders' equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with
related surpluses and retained earnings, less deductions for goodwill and
various other intangibles. "Tier 2 capital" is limited to the amount of Tier 1
capital and may consist of a limited amount of intermediate-term preferred
stock, a limited amount of term subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital
instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock not qualifying
as Tier 1 capital, and a limited amount of the general valuation allowance for
loan losses. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is "total risk-based
capital."
The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted guidelines which supplement the
risk-based capital guidelines with a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average
total consolidated assets ("leverage ratio") of 3.0% for institutions with well
diversified risk, including no undue interest rate exposure; excellent asset
quality; high liquidity; good earnings; and that are generally considered to be
strong banking organizations, rated composite 1 under applicable federal
guidelines, and that are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth.
Other banking organizations are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at
least 4.0% to 5.0%. These rules further provide that banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making
56
<PAGE>
acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above
the minimum supervisory levels and comparable to peer group averages, without
significant reliance on intangible assets.
Pursuant to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), each federal banking agency revised its risk-based capital standards
to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk,
concentration of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well
as reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily
mortgages. The Bank is subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the OCC that
are substantially similar to the Federal Reserve Board's guidelines. Also
pursuant to FDICIA, the OCC has promulgated regulations setting the levels at
which an insured institution such as the Bank would be considered "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Under the OCC's
regulations, the Bank is classified "well capitalized" for purposes of prompt
corrective action. See "Supervision and Regulation--The Company" and "--The
Bank."
Stockholders' equity increased from $12.1 million at June 30 , 1996 to $13.8
million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $1.7 million or 14.0%. This increase
was primarily the result of net income of $1.3 million, less the payment of cash
dividends of $325,000, a decrease in net unrealized loss on available-for-sale
securities net of taxes of $101,000, additional Common Stock issued totaling
approximately $56,000, less stock purchased from stockholders by the Company
during this period totaling approximately $3,000.
The following table provides a comparison of the Company's and the Bank's
leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios as of June 30, 1997 to the minimum and
well-capitalized regulatory standards:

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
OVERVIEW
The Company engaged in several transactions in 1994, 1995 and 1996 which had
a significant impact on the Company's performance in each of those years. In
February 1994, the Company engaged consultants and began developing its sales
and service culture. In May 1994, the Company opened a de novo banking office
location in Pasadena, Texas. Deposits and customer repurchase agreements at this
location totaled $21.0 million at December 31, 1996. In December 1994, the
Company sold a grocery store branch located in Kingwood, Texas recognizing a
$145,000 gain on the sale (the "Kingwood Sale"). In January 1995, the Company
opened its first LPO. In January 1996, the Company sold land adjacent to the
Spencer Office recognizing a gain on the sale of $68,000. During the first half
of 1996, the Company opened two additional LPOs in Houston and received
designation as a Preferred SBA Lender. Also during the first half of 1996, the
Company initiated an accounts receivable factoring program for small to medium
size businesses called Cash Flow Manager, which by year end 1996, had
outstanding balances in excess of $1.6 million. In August 1996, the Company
completed the Cleveland Acquisition. In 1996, the Company paid a one-time FDIC
assessment of $287,000 with respect to the Company's deposits insured by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC which were acquired from
failed savings and loan associations in June and September 1991.
Net earnings available to stockholders were $1.4 million, $1.2 million and
$1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
and net earnings per share were $0.97, $0.84 and $0.86 for these same periods.
Earnings growth from 1995 to 1996 resulted principally from strong internal loan
growth, growth of the Pasadena banking office, a higher net interest margin,
gains on the sale of SBA loans generated by the LPOs, the gain on the sale of
the Spencer Office land and income generated through the Cash Flow Manager
program. During 1994, the Company fully utilized its net operating loss
carryforwards, reducing the tax expense for the year. From 1994 to 1995,
earnings before tax adjustments increased from $1.5 million to $1.8 million, an
increase of 13.3%. The increase in earnings before tax adjustments from 1994 to
1995 was due primarily to higher earning assets, gains on sale of SBA loans and
the gain on the Kingwood Sale. The Company posted returns on average assets of
0.82%, 0.75% and 0.80% and returns on average common equity of 11.29%, 10.70%
and 11.72% for the years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Without the
one-time FDIC assessment in 1996, the Company's return on average assets and
return on average common equity, respectively, would have been 0.89% and 12.81%.
Total assets at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $189.0 million, $167.1
million and $168.3 million, respectively. Total deposits at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 were $173.3 million, $153.3 million and $149.8 million,
respectively. The Company retained the majority of the deposits acquired in the
Cleveland Acquisition and continues to reprice maturing deposits into a lower
price structure. Additionally, the de novo Pasadena banking office has developed
a strong core commercial and retail deposit and lending base. The result was an
improved net interest margin and increasing deposit levels from 1995 to 1996.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, were $119.9 million at December 31,
1996, an increase of $14.1 million or 13.32% from $105.8 million at the end of
1995. Loans were $105.6 million at year end 1994. Common stockholders' equity
was $12.9 million, $11.9 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
1996 VERSUS 1995. Net interest income totaled $7.2 million in 1996 compared
to $5.9 million in 1995, an increase of $1.3 million or 22.0%. The increase is
mainly a result of higher interest income on loans and the interest income
generated on Cash Flow Manager outstanding balances. Interest expense increased
$52,000 but was totally offset by the increase of $1.5 million in interest
income. This resulted in net interest margins of 4.38% and 3.83% and net
interest spreads of 3.64% and 3.07% for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
58
<PAGE>
The volume increase in interest expense from 1995 to 1996 was offset by
decreases in rate as the Company repriced maturing deposits from the Cleveland
Acquisition into a lower price structure and successfully priced deposit
products to remain competitive but minimize costs. Additionally, noninterest-
bearing deposits, as a percent of total deposits, increased from 18.5% of total
deposits in 1995 to 19.9% of total deposits in 1996. Interest income on loans
increased to $9.6 million in 1996 from $8.5 million in 1995. The increase was
driven by growth in the average loan portfolio of $5.7 million or 5.3% and an
increase in the yield on average loans to 8.49% in 1996 from 7.93% in 1995 as
the Company continued to generate higher yielding SBA, commercial and real
estate loans. Meanwhile, the average securities portfolio increased 16.7% as a
direct result of funds acquired in the Cleveland Acquisition and its yield rose
9 basis points.
1995 VERSUS 1994. Net interest income increased $600,000 in 1995 from $5.3
million in 1994 to $5.9 million in 1995, primarily due to growth in interest
income of $1.7 million resulting from increases in both volumes and yields. This
increase was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million
resulting primarily from higher rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as
well as increases in volumes. This resulted in a net interest margin increase to
3.83% in 1995 from 3.81% in 1994 and a net interest spread decrease to 3.07% in
1995 from 3.19% in 1994.
The yield on average loans increased to 7.93% in 1995 from 7.40% in 1994 and
the yield on average securities increased to 5.95% in 1995 from 5.47% in 1994.
The increase in the yield on average loans is a result of volume changes within
the loan categories with an increased emphasis on higher yielding SBA,
commercial and real estate loans. The increase in the securities yield resulted
mainly from higher yielding U.S. Treasury securities. The increase in interest
expense was driven primarily by growth in investor savings balances, a more
market sensitive product but one that is competitive with other financial
service businesses.

The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar
amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant
yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made and
all average balances are yearly average balances. Nonaccruing loans have been
included in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The 1996 provision for loan losses increased to $510,000 from $150,000 in
1995, an increase of $360,000 or 240%. The increased provision is a direct
reflection of the volume increase within the loan portfolio and the Company's
conservative nature and methodology for determining an appropriate provision
amount, which includes an analysis of the loan portfolio, economic trends and
other portfolio risks. The provision for the year 1995 increased by $75,000 or
100% for the year ended 1994.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $2.3 million, up
from $2.1 million in 1995, and noninterest income in 1994 was $2.1 million. The
year ended December 31, 1994 included a gain of $145,000 resulting from the
Kingwood Sale. The year ended 1996 included a gain of $68,000 on the sale of
land adjacent to the Spencer Office. Excluding these gains, noninterest income
was $87,000 greater in 1995 than in 1994 and $207,000 greater in 1996 than in
1995. The Company consistently performs in the
61
<PAGE>
top 25th percentile of its national peer group in the generation of noninterest
income. The following table presents for the periods indicated the major
categories of noninterest income:

</TABLE>
After excluding the gain from the sale of land adjacent to the Spencer
Office in 1996, noninterest income from 1995 to 1996 increased $207,000
primarily as a result of increased gains on the sale of SBA loans, increased
revenue generated through the ATMs and the increased emphasis on fee based
services, such as the sale of alternative investments. Excluding the Kingwood
Sale in 1994, noninterest income increased $87,000 or 4.33% from 1994 to 1995.
This increase is primarily a result of increased service charge income
attributable to the opening of the Pasadena office and ATM fee income.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
For the years ended 1996, 1995 and 1994, noninterest expenses totaled $7.1
million, $6.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase in 1996
reflects several major factors: the $287,000 FDIC assessment on SAIF deposits,
increased expenses, both operational and staffing, expanded operation of the
branch network, the Cleveland Acquisition and expenses related to the Company's
commitment to developing its sales and service culture. The increase in 1995 was
$155,000 or 2.6%, primarily due to higher employee compensation and benefits,
reflecting a full year of operation of the Pasadena banking office. The
following table presents for the periods indicated the major categories of
noninterest expense:

Employee compensation and benefit expense for the year ended December 31,
1996 was $3.3 million, an increase of $500,000 or 17.9% from $2.8 million for
1995. Employee compensation and benefit expense
62
<PAGE>
for the year 1995 was up $200,000 or 7.7% from 1994. The increase in 1996 is
primarily due to staff acquired in the Cleveland Acquisition in the third
quarter of 1996, the full operation of three LPOs and additional operational and
lending staff hired. The increase in 1995 resulted mainly from additional staff
hired to reflect a full year of operating the Pasadena office location.
Additionally, the Company makes an entry to provide for stock to be issued under
the Phantom Stock Plan. See "Management--Stock Option and Incentive Plans."
These amounts were $144,000, $96,000 and $114,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The amounts are based on the market value of the Common Stock
along with the vesting period of each grant. Full-time equivalent employees for
1996, 1995 and 1994 were 101, 95 and 92, respectively.
Non-staff expenses were $3.7 million in 1996, an increase of $500,000 from
$3.2 million in 1995. The increase is primarily due to a special assessment from
the FDIC on SAIF deposits totaling $287,000. The effect of this special
assessment was partially offset by lower FDIC insurance fees on all deposits.
Additionally, data processing expenses increased as the Company networked all
banking office locations to establish increased efficiencies and effective
product delivery. Professional fees increased as the Company expanded training
and emphasis on its sales and service culture. The 1995 non-staff expenses
decreased $32,000 primarily due to the effects of lower FDIC premiums through
the Bank's reclassification by the FDIC as a well-capitalized institution.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense includes the regular federal income tax at the statutory
rate, plus the income tax component of the Texas franchise tax. The amount of
federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the
amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of non-deductible interest expense and
the amount of other non-deductible expenses. Taxable income for the income tax
component of the Texas franchise tax is the federal pre-tax income, plus certain
officers salaries, less interest income from federal securities. The income tax
component of the Texas franchise tax was zero in 1996, 1995 and 1994. Income tax
expense was $591,000 in 1996, $559,000 in 1995 and $271,000 in 1994. During
1994, the Company had regular and alternative minimum tax net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
During 1995 and 1994, the Company utilized regular tax net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. No
loss carryforwards were available at December 31, 1995. The effective tax rates
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were 29.65%, 31.51% and 18.04%. Income
taxes for financial purposes in the consolidated statements of earnings differ
from the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 34% to
earnings before income taxes. The difference in the statutory rate is primarily
due to tax exempt interest, utilization of tax credits and loss carryforwards,
and alternative minimum tax.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Total gross loans increased by $14.1 million or 13.3% to $119.9 million at
December 31, 1996, from $105.8 million at December 31, 1995 due primarily to
growth in the indirect loan portfolio and direct loan growth from the Pasadena
branch and the main office in La Porte. During 1995, total loans decreased
slightly, $1.03 million or 0.94%, from $106.8 million at December 31, 1994 due
to a lower volume of indirect installment loans offset in part by growth in
commercial loans. The changes in loan balances from 1995 to 1996 reflected both
the Cleveland Acquisition and the Kingwood Sale along with the Company's
investment in loan production capability.
At December 31, 1996, total gross loans represented 69.2% of deposits and
63.42% of total assets. Total loans as a percentage of deposits were 69.00% at
December 31, 1995, compared to 71.3% at December 31, 1994.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, ACCOUNTING FOR
CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN, as amended by SFAS No. 118, ACCOUNTING BY
CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN-INCOME RECOGNITION AND DISCLOSURES. Under
SFAS No. 114, as amended, a loan is considered impaired based on current
information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans
is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate or the loan's observable market price or based on
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. The
implementation of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material adverse affect on the
Company's financial statements.

At December 31, 1996, securities totaled $44.0 million, an increase of $5.2
million from $38.8 million at December 31, 1995. The increase occurred in U. S.
Government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and tax free municipal
security investments. The funds invested were a direct result of excess funds
received following the Cleveland Acquisition. During 1995, securities decreased
$4.3 million from $43.1 million at December 31, 1994, representing primarily
maturities within the treasury and government agency portfolios and was
reflective of the Kingwood Sale.
DEPOSITS
Total deposits at December 31, 1996 increased to $173.3 million from $153.3
million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $20.0 million or 13.1%. The
increase resulted primarily from the Cleveland Acquisition in the third quarter
of 1996. The bulk of this growth was in Investor's Savings Accounts. This
account is a market rate sensitive account, with a ten day withdrawal
notification period, designed to compete against brokerage house accounts. While
the balances represent primarily core deposits, customers' deposits in this
investment vehicle may fluctuate from time to time pending other alternative
investments or cash needs. Deposits in 1995 rose to $153.3 million from $149.8
million in 1994, an increase of $3.5 million or 2.3%. The Company's ratio of
average noninterest-bearing demand deposits to average total deposits for years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 17.67%, 17.19% and 16.29%,
respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Stockholders' equity increased to $12.9 million at December 31, 1996 from
$11.9 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $1.0 million or 8.4%. This

dividends of $324,000, treasury stock purchases totaling $48,000, the issuance
of additional stock totaling $30,000 and an increase in the net unrealized loss
on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, of $34,000. During 1995,
stockholders' equity increased by $1.1 million or 10.2% from $10.8 million at

offset primarily by cash dividends of $273,000, treasury stock purchases
totaling $130,000, the issuance of additional Common Stock totaling $30,000 and
a reduction in the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of
$201,375.

(2) Includes $36,000 as the fair market value of Common Stock issued to Mr.
Wright pursuant to the Phantom Plan and $7,937 received by Mr. Wright as
dividends on the shares of phantom stock granted under the Phantom Plan.
(3) Consists of shares of phantom stock granted under the Phantom Plan. As of
December 31, 1996, Mr. Wright held options for 37,219 shares of phantom
stock under the Phantom Plan, and the estimated value of these shares was
$262,394. At December 31, 1996, 19,447 of these shares were vested with each
grant vesting over a three year period. Mr. Wright receives dividends on the
shares of phantom stock granted to him under the Phantom Plan.
STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS
Pursuant to the Phantom Plan, the Company may issue shares of phantom stock
to certain officers and key employees. The purpose of the Phantom Plan is to
attract, retain and incentivize officers of the Company and the Bank, to provide
a means whereby such persons may sustain a sense of proprietorship and personal
involvement in the continued development and financial success of the Company,
and to encourage such persons to remain with and devote their best efforts to
the business of the Company,
75
<PAGE>
thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders. The only
individual to participate in the Phantom Plan is L.D. Wright, the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The aggregate number of shares of
phantom stock that may be issued under the Phantom Plan is limited to 135,000
shares. The number of shares issued is determined based on a financial
performance test for the Bank. The financial performance test is based on
certain targeted percentages of the return on equity of the Bank and is set
annually by the Board of Directors of the Company. The minimum return on equity
for shares of phantom stock to be awarded is 15%. The phantom stock is
nonvoting, accrues dividends equal to those declared on the Common Stock, and is
granted subject to a vesting schedule.
The shares of phantom stock may be redeemed when vested. Such redemption is
payable, at the Company's discretion, in shares of Common Stock or cash at the
then fair market value of the Common Stock. In 1996 and 1995, 18,478 and 16,357
shares of phantom stock were granted, respectively, and 6,000 shares of phantom
stock were redeemed for 6,000 shares of the Common Stock in each year. The
compensation cost charged against income for the Phantom Plan was approximately
$114,000 and $66,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of September 30, 1997,
66,630 shares of phantom stock were granted but unexercised pursuant to the
Phantom Plan, 39,538 of which are fully vested. No additional shares of phantom
stock will be granted pursuant to the Phantom Plan.
The Company has outstanding options to purchase 33,300 shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to an incentive stock option plan approved by stockholders
in 1997 (the "1997 Stock Plan"). The 1997 Stock Plan authorizes the issuance of
options for up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the 1997 Stock Plan, the
vesting of options is governed by individual option agreements. Each of the
option agreements currently outstanding provides that 20% of the options granted
vest immediately following the date of grant and an additional 20% each year
thereafter. Options granted under the 1997 Stock Plan generally must be
exercised within 10 years following the date of grant. The fair market value of
stock options is based on trades in the Common Stock and on an appraisal from an
independent investment banking firm.
The Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved a new stock
option plan in 1997 (the "1997 Incentive Plan") which authorizes the issuance of
up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock under both "non-qualified" and "incentive
stock" options to employees and "non-qualified" stock options to directors who
are not employees. Generally, under the 1997 Incentive Plan it is intended that
the options will vest 60% at the end of the third year following the date of
grant and an additional 20% at the end of each of the two following years;
however, an individual option may vest as much as 20% at the end of the first or
second year following the date of grant if necessary to maximize the "incentive"
tax treatment to the optionee for the particular option being granted. Options
under the 1997 Incentive Plan generally must be exercised within 10 years
following the date of grant or no later than three months after optionee's
termination with the Company, if earlier. No options have been granted under the
1997 Incentive Plan.
The Company has a cash incentive plan which provides guidelines pursuant to
which key executive employees can earn bonus compensation based on the
profitability of the Bank. The bonus amounts are determined based on achievement
by the Bank of certain targeted percentages of return on equity. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, a bonus pool of approximately $78,000 and $72,000, respectively,
had been accrued for distribution in the following year.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION ("SFAS 123"). This statement established fair value based
accounting and reporting standards for all transactions in which a company
acquires goods or services by issuing its equity investments, which includes
stock-based compensation plans. Under SFAS 123, compensation cost is measured at
the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the
service period, which is usually the vesting period. Fair value of stock options
is determined using an option-pricing model. This statement encourages companies
to adopt as prescribed the fair value based method of accounting to recognize
compensation expense for employee stock compensation plans. However, it does not
require the fair value based method to be adopted but a company must comply with
76
<PAGE>
the disclosure requirements set forth in the statement. The Company has
continued to apply accounting in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, ("APB 25") and related
Interpretations, and, accordingly, will in its annual reporting provide the pro
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share.

BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has established a contributory profit sharing plan pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) covering substantially all employees (the
"Benefit Plan"). The Company has hired the Hand Group to serve as the Benefit
Plan administrator and investment advisor. Each year the Company determines, in
its discretion, the amount of matching contributions. The Company has elected to
match 50% of employee contributions not to exceed 3% of the employee's annual
compensation. Total Benefit Plan expense charged to the Company's operations for
1996, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $27,000, $24,000 and $24,000,
respectively. The Company has budgeted $60,000 for 1997 contributions. In
addition, the Company elected to allow employees to invest the matching portion
in shares of Common Stock.

INTERESTS OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Many of the directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of the
Company (I.E., those who own 10% or more of the Common Stock) and their
associates, which include corporations, partnerships and other organizations in
which they are officers or partners or in which they and their immediate
families have at least a 5% interest, are customers of the Company. During 1996
the Company made loans in the ordinary course of business to many of the
directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of the Company and
their associates, all of which were on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with persons unaffiliated with the Company and did not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
Loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of the Company
are subject to limitations contained in the Federal Reserve Act, the principal
effect of which is to require that extensions of credit by the Company to
executive officers, directors and principal stockholders satisfy the foregoing
standards. On June 30, 1997, all of such loans aggregated $2.9 million, which
was approximately 18.9% of the Company's Tier 1 capital at such date.
Approximately 69.5% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of June 30, 1997
was comprised of consumer installment loans, 88.7% of which consisted of
indirect dealer loans. As of such date, approximately $8.5 million (12.0%) of
the Company's installment loan portfolio consisted of indirect loans purchased
from automobile dealerships controlled by Director Jay Marks and Bank Advisory
Director Lester Marks. All of these transactions were made in the ordinary
course of business on substantially the same terms; including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
persons unaffiliated with the Company and did not involve more than normal risk
of collectibility or present unfavorable features. The Company expects to have
such transactions or transactions on a similar basis with its directors,
executive officers and principal stockholders and their associates in the
future.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The supervision and regulation of bank holding companies and their
subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the deposit
insurance funds of the FDIC and the banking system as a whole, and not for the
protection of the bank holding company stockholders or creditors. The banking
agencies have broad enforcement power over bank holding companies and banks
including the power to impose substantial fines and other penalties for
violations of laws and regulations.
The following description summarizes some of the laws to which the Company
and the Bank are subject. References herein to applicable statutes and
regulations are brief summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
THE COMPANY
The Company is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, and it is
subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board.
The BHCA and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to particular
restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range
of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement
actions for violations of laws and regulations.
REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS; SOURCE OF STRENGTH. It is the policy
of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash
dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and
only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization's
expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank
holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines
the bank holding company's ability to serve as a source of strength to its
banking subsidiaries.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to
act as a source of financial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries and
commit resources to their support. Such support may be required at times when,
absent this Federal Reserve Board policy, a holding company may not be inclined
to provide it. As discussed below, a bank holding company in certain
circumstances could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an
undercapitalized banking subsidiary.
In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the trustee will be deemed to have assumed and is required
to cure immediately any deficit under any commitment by the debtor holding
company to any of the federal banking agencies to maintain the capital of an
insured depository institution, and any claim for breach of such obligation will
generally have priority over most other unsecured claims.
ACTIVITIES "CLOSELY RELATED" TO BANKING. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding
company, with certain limited exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of any voting shares of any company which is not a bank or
from engaging in any activities other than those of banking, managing or
controlling banks and certain other subsidiaries, or furnishing services to or
performing services for its subsidiaries. One principal exception to these
prohibitions allows the acquisition of interests in companies whose activities
are found by the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, to be so closely
related to
80
<PAGE>
banking or managing or controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.
Some of the activities that have been determined by regulation to be closely
related to banking are making or servicing loans, performing certain data
processing services, acting as an investment or financial advisor to certain
investment trusts and investment companies, and providing securities brokerage
services. Other activities approved by the Federal Reserve Board include
consumer financial counseling, tax planning and tax preparation, futures and
options advisory services, check guaranty services, collection agency and credit
bureau services, and personal property appraisals. In approving acquisitions by
bank holding companies of companies engaged in banking-related activities, the
Federal Reserve Board considers a number of factors, and weighs the expected
benefits to the public (such as greater convenience and increased competition or
gains in efficiency) against the risks of possible adverse effects (such as
undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of
interest, or unsound banking practices). The Federal Reserve Board is also
empowered to differentiate between activities commenced de novo and activities
commenced through acquisition of a going concern.
SECURITIES ACTIVITIES. The Federal Reserve Board has approved applications
by bank holding companies to engage, through nonbank subsidiaries, in certain
securities-related activities (underwriting of municipal revenue bonds,
commercial paper, consumer receivable-related securities and one-to-four family
mortgage-backed securities), provided that the affiliates would not be
"principally engaged" in such activities for purposes of Section 20 of the
Glass-Steagall Act. In limited situations, holding companies may be able to use
such subsidiaries to underwrite and deal in corporate debt and equity
securities.
SAFE AND SOUND BANKING PRACTICES. Bank holding companies are not permitted
to engage in unsafe and unsound banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board's
Regulation Y, for example, generally requires a holding company to give the
Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own
equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the
consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is
equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal
Reserve Board may oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction
would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or
regulation. Depending upon the circumstances, the Federal Reserve Board could
take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound
banking practice.
The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank
holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiaries which represent unsafe and
unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations,
and can assess civil money penalties for certain activities conducted on a
knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a substantial loss to a
depository institution. The penalties can be as high as $1,000,000 for each day
the activity continues.
ANTI-TYING RESTRICTIONS. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are
prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extensions of
credit, to other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a
system using risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of
bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are
assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of
the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to
determine a "risk-weighted" asset base. The guidelines require a minimum total
risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% is required to consist
of Tier 1 capital elements). Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2
capital. As of June 30, 1997, the Company's ratio of Tier 1 capital to total
risk-weighted assets was 10.16% and its ratio of total capital to total
risk-weighted assets was 11.24%. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Capital Resources."
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board
uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of
bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is a
81
<PAGE>
company's Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets.
Certain highly-rated bank holding companies may maintain a minimum leverage
ratio of 3.0%, but other bank holding companies may be required to maintain a
leverage ratio of up to 200 basis points above the regulatory minimum. As of
June 30, 1997, the Company's leverage ratio was 7.25%.
The federal banking agencies' risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum
supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that meet
certain specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory
rating. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate
with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The federal bank
regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a particular banking
organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant.
Federal Reserve Board guidelines also provide that banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels,
without significant reliance on intangible assets.
IMPOSITION OF LIABILITY FOR UNDERCAPITALIZED SUBSIDIARIES. Bank regulators
are required to take "prompt corrective action" to resolve problems associated
with insured depository institutions whose capital declines below certain
levels. In the event an institution becomes "undercapitalized," it must submit a
capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan will not be accepted by
the regulators unless each company having control of the undercapitalized
institution guarantees the subsidiary's compliance with the capital restoration
plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository
institution's holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in
bankruptcy.
The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank
is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution's assets at the time it became
undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be
"adequately capitalized." The bank regulators have greater power in situations
where an institution becomes "significantly" or "critically" undercapitalized or
fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company
controlling such an institution can be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve
Board approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to consent to a
consolidation or to divest the troubled institution or other affiliates.
ACQUISITIONS BY BANK HOLDING COMPANIES. The BHCA requires every bank
holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before
it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership
or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would
own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of
such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal
Reserve Board is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and
future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the
convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various competitive
factors.
CONTROL ACQUISITIONS. The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or
group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company unless the
Federal Reserve Board has been notified and has not objected to the transaction.
Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the
acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company
with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such
as the Company, would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption,
constitute acquisition of control of the Company.
In addition, any company is required to obtain the approval of the Federal
Reserve Board under the BHCA before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror
that is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company, or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling influence" over the
Company.
THE BANK
The Bank is a national banking association, the deposits of which are
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the SAIF of the FDIC. The Bank is
subject to supervision and regulation by the OCC.
82
<PAGE>
Such supervision and regulation subjects the Bank to special restrictions,
requirements, potential enforcement actions and periodic examination by the OCC.
Because the Federal Reserve Board regulates the bank holding company parent of
the Bank, the Federal Reserve Board also has supervisory authority which
directly affects the Bank.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND INSIDERS. Transactions
between the Bank and its nonbanking subsidiaries, including the Company, are
subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A
imposes limits on the amount of such transactions, and also requires certain
levels of collateral for loans to affiliated parties. It also limits the amount
of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or
obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act which generally requires that certain transactions between the Bank
and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable
to the Bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or
involving other nonaffiliated persons.
The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal
stockholders and their related interests (collectively referred to herein as
"insiders") contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all
insured institutions and their subsidiaries and holding companies. These
restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be
met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all
loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the
institution's total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the OCC may determine
that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions
for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions.
RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSIDIARY BANK DIVIDENDS AND
ASSETS. Dividends paid by the Bank have provided a substantial part of the
Company's operating funds and for the foreseeable future it is anticipated that
dividends paid by the Bank to the Company will continue to be the Company's
principal source of operating funds. Capital adequacy requirements serve to
limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. Until a national
bank's capital surplus equals or exceeds its capital stock, the bank must
transfer ten percent of its net income to capital surplus prior to paying a
dividend. Without the prior approval of the OCC, a national bank may not pay
dividends in excess of the bank's total net profits for that year, plus its
retained profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to
capital surplus. Additionally, a national bank may not pay dividends in excess
of total retained profits, including current year's earnings. Under federal law,
the Bank cannot pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the Bank will be
"undercapitalized." The OCC may declare a dividend payment to be unsafe and
unsound even though the Bank would continue to meet its capital requirements
after the dividend.
Because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries, its right to participate in the distribution of assets of any
subsidiary upon the subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization will be subject
to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors. In the event of a liquidation
or other resolution of an insured depository institution, the claims of
depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a
priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the
institution to its stockholders, including any depository institution holding
company (such as the Company) or any stockholder or creditor thereof.
EXAMINATIONS. The OCC periodically examines and evaluates national banks.
Based upon such an evaluation, the OCC may revalue the assets of the institution
and require that it establish specific reserves to compensate for the difference
between the OCC-determined value and the book value of such assets.
AUDIT REPORTS. Insured institutions with total assets of $500 million or
more must submit annual audit reports prepared by independent auditors to
federal and state regulators. In some instances, the audit report of the
institution's holding company can be used to satisfy this requirement. Auditors
must receive examination reports, supervisory agreements and reports of
enforcement actions. In addition, financial
83
<PAGE>
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
management's certifications concerning responsibility for the financial
statements, internal controls and compliance with legal requirements designated
by the FDIC, and an attestation by the auditor regarding the statements of
management relating to the internal controls must be submitted. For institutions
with total assets of more than $3 billion, independent auditors may be required
to review quarterly financial statements. FDICIA requires that independent audit
committees be formed, consisting of outside directors only. The committees of
such institutions must include members with experience in banking or financial
management, must have access to outside counsel, and must not include
representatives of large customers.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS. The OCC has adopted regulations establishing
minimum requirements for the capital adequacy of insured institutions. The OCC
may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a bank has previously
received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest rate risk.
The OCC's risk-based capital guidelines generally require national banks to
have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4% and a
ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%. The capital
categories have the same definitions for the Bank as for the Company. As of June
30, 1997, the Bank's ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets was
10.19% and its ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 11.29%.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation of the Company--Capital Resources."
The OCC's leverage guidelines require national banks to maintain Tier 1
capital of no less than 5% of average total assets, except in the case of
certain highly rated banks for which the requirement is 3% of average total
assets. As of June 30, 1997, the Bank's ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total
assets (leverage ratio) was 7.28%. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation of the Company--Capital Resources."
CORRECTIVE MEASURES FOR CAPITAL DEFICIENCIES. The federal banking
regulators are required to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to
capital-deficient institutions. Agency regulations define, for each capital
category, the levels at which institutions are "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and
"critically undercapitalized." A "well capitalized" bank has a total risk based
capital ratio of 10% or higher; a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 6% or
higher; a leverage ratio of 5% or higher; and is not subject to any written
agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level
for any capital measure. An "adequately capitalized" bank has a total risk based
capital ratio of 8% or higher; a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 4% or
higher; a leverage ratio of 4% or higher (3% or higher if the bank was rated a
CAMEL 1 in its most recent examination report and is not experiencing
significant growth); and does not meet the criteria for a well capitalized bank.
A bank is "undercapitalized" if it fails to meet any one of the ratios required
to be adequately capitalized.
In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital
restoration plan, agency regulations contain broad restrictions on certain
activities of undercapitalized institutions including asset growth,
acquisitions, branch establishment, and expansion into new lines of business.
With certain exceptions, an insured depository institution is prohibited from
making capital distributions, including dividends, and is prohibited from paying
management fees to control persons if the institution would be undercapitalized
after any such distribution or payment.
As an institution's capital decreases, the OCC's enforcement powers become
more severe. A significantly undercapitalized institution is subject to mandated
capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions
with affiliates, removal of management, and other restrictions. The OCC has only
very limited discretion in dealing with a critically undercapitalized
institution and is virtually required to appoint a receiver or conservator.
84
<PAGE>
Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required
minimums may also be subject to certain administrative actions, including the
termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing, or a temporary
suspension of insurance without a hearing in the event the institution has no
tangible capital.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS. The Bank must pay assessments to the FDIC
for federal deposit insurance protection. The FDIC has adopted a risk based
assessment system as required by FDICIA. Under this system, FDIC-insured
depository institutions pay insurance premiums at rates based on their risk
classification. Institutions assigned to higher-risk classifications (that is,
institutions that pose a greater risk of loss to their respective deposit
insurance funds) pay assessments at higher rates than institutions that pose a
lower risk. An institution's risk classification is assigned based on its
capital levels and the level of supervisory concern the institution poses to the
regulators. In addition, the FDIC can impose special assessments in certain
instances.
After the one-time SAIF assessment in 1996, the assessment rate disparity
between BIF and SAIF members was eliminated. The current range of BIF and SAIF
assessments is between 0% and .27% of deposits.
The FDIC established a process for raising or lowering all rates for insured
institutions semi-annually if conditions warrant a change. Under this new
system, the FDIC has the flexibility to adjust the assessment rate schedule
twice a year without seeking prior public comment, but only within a range of
five cents per $100 above or below the premium schedule adopted. Changes in the
rate schedule outside the five cent range above or below the current schedule
can be made by the FDIC only after a full rulemaking with opportunity for public
comment.
On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed into law an act that
contained a comprehensive approach to recapitalizing the SAIF and to assure the
payment of the Financing Corporation's ("FICO") bond obligations. Under this new
act, banks insured under the BIF are required to pay a portion of the interest
due on bonds that were issued by FICO to help shore up the ailing Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation in 1987. The BIF rate must equal
one-fifth of the SAIF rate through year-end 1999, or until the insurance funds
are merged, whichever occurs first. Thereafter BIF and SAIF payers will be
assessed pro rata for the FICO bond obligations. With regard to the assessment
for the FICO obligation, the current BIF rate is .0126% of deposits and the SAIF
rate is .0630% of deposits.
ENFORCEMENT POWERS. The FDIC and the other federal banking agencies, such
as the OCC, have broad enforcement powers, including the power to terminate
deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal
penalties and appoint a conservator or receiver. Failure to comply with
applicable laws, regulations and supervisory agreements could subject the
Company or its banking subsidiaries, as well as officers, directors and other
institution-affiliated parties of these organizations, to administrative
sanctions and potentially substantial civil money penalties. The appropriate
federal banking agency may appoint the FDIC as conservator or receiver for a
banking institution (or the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain
circumstances) if any one or more of a number of circumstances exist, including,
without limitation, the fact that the banking institution is undercapitalized
and has no reasonable prospect of becoming adequately capitalized; fails to
become adequately capitalized when required to do so; fails to submit a timely
and acceptable capital restoration plan; or materially fails to implement an
accepted capital restoration plan.
BROKERED DEPOSIT RESTRICTIONS. Adequately capitalized institutions cannot
accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits except with a waiver from the OCC,
and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such
deposits. Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew, or roll over
brokered deposits.
CROSS-GUARANTEE PROVISIONS. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") contains a "cross-guarantee" provision which
generally makes commonly controlled
85
<PAGE>
insured depository institutions liable to the FDIC for any losses incurred in
connection with the failure of a commonly controlled depository institution.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA")
and the regulations issued thereunder are intended to encourage banks to help
meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks. These
regulations also provide for regulatory assessment of a bank's record in meeting
the needs of its service area when considering applications to establish
branches, merger applications and applications to acquire the assets and assume
the liabilities of another bank. FIRREA requires federal banking agencies to
make public a rating of a bank's performance under the CRA. In the case of a
bank holding company, the CRA performance record of the banks involved in the
transaction are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to
acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any
other bank holding company. An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or
block the transaction.
CONSUMER LAWS AND REGULATIONS. In addition to the laws and regulations
discussed herein, the Bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and
regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks.
While the list set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations
include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds
Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act, and the Fair Housing Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate
certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial
institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to
such customers. The Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these
consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer
relations.
INSTABILITY OF REGULATORY STRUCTURE
Various legislation, including proposals to overhaul the bank regulatory
system, expand the powers of banking institutions and bank holding companies and
limit the investments that a depository institution may make with insured funds,
is from time to time introduced in Congress. Such legislation may change banking
statutes and the operating environment of the Company and its banking
subsidiaries in substantial and unpredictable ways. The Company cannot determine
the ultimate effect that potential legislation, if enacted, or implementing
regulations with respect thereto, would have upon the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company or its subsidiaries.
EXPANDING ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY
One of the major additional burdens imposed on the banking industry by
FDICIA is the increased ability of banking regulators to monitor the activities
of banks and their holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board,
OCC and FDIC are possessed of extensive authority to police unsafe or unsound
practices and violations of applicable laws and regulations by depository
institutions and their holding companies. For example, the FDIC may terminate
the deposit insurance of any institution which it determines has engaged in an
unsafe or unsound practice. The agencies can also assess civil money penalties,
issue cease and desist or removal orders, seek injunctions, and publicly
disclose such actions. FDICIA, FIRREA and other laws have expanded the agencies'
authority in recent years, and the agencies have not yet fully tested the limits
of their powers.
EFFECT ON ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the
Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on the operating results of
bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among
86
<PAGE>
the means available to the Federal Reserve Board to affect the money supply are
open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount
rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against
member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to influence
overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and
their use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue
to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of
such policies on the business and earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries
cannot be predicted.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 10,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, $1.00 per share par value, issuable in series, none
of which are issued and outstanding and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
$1.00 per share par value, of which 1,400,833 shares were issued and 1,358,907
shares were outstanding as of September 30, 1997. The terms of any new series of
preferred stock may be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company within
certain limits set by the Company's Articles of Incorporation. As of September
30, 1997, an additional 33,300 shares of Common Stock were issuable upon
exercise of the Company's outstanding employee and director incentive stock
options, and 66,630 shares of Common Stock were issuable under the Phantom Plan.
The following discussion of the terms and provisions of the Company's
capital stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The
Preferred Stock (or other securities convertible in whole or in part into
Preferred Stock) is available for issuance from time to time for various
purposes as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, including, without
limitation, making future acquisitions, raising additional equity capital and
financing. Subject to certain limits set by the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, the Preferred Stock (or such convertible securities) may be
issued on such terms and conditions, and at such times and in such situations,
as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines to be appropriate,
without any further approval or action by the shareholders (unless otherwise
required by laws, rules, regulations or agreements applicable to the Company).
Moreover, except as otherwise limited by the Articles of Incorporation or
applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Board of Directors has the sole
authority to determine the relative rights and preferences of the Preferred
Stock and any series thereof without stockholder approval. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation require all shares of Preferred Stock to be identical,
except as to the following characteristics, which may vary between different
series of Preferred Stock:
(i) dividend rate, preference of dividend with respect to any other
class or series of stock, and cumulativity, non-cumulativity or partial
cumulativity of dividends;
(ii) redemption price and terms, including, to the extent permitted by
law, the manner in which shares are to be chosen for redemption if less than
all the shares of a series are to be redeemed;
(iii) sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of shares;
(iv) the amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation;
87
<PAGE>
(v) the terms and conditions on which shares may be converted, if the
shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;
(vi) voting rights; and
(vii) such other powers, preferences and rights as the Board of Directors
shall determine.
The Board of Directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval prior to
any issuance of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, unless otherwise required
by law. Under the Texas Business Corporation Act ("TBCA"), stockholder approval
prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock is required
in connection with certain mergers. Frequently, opportunities arise that require
prompt action, such as the possible acquisition of a property or business or the
private sale of securities, and it is the belief of the Board of Directors that
the delay necessary for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be to
the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors does
not intend to issue any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock except on
terms which the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interests of the
Company and its then existing stockholders.
Although the Preferred Stock could be deemed to have an anti-takeover
effect, the Board of Directors is not aware of any takeover efforts. If a
hostile takeover situation should arise, shares of Preferred Stock could be
issued to purchasers sympathetic with the Company's management or others in such
a way as to render more difficult or to discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company's
securities or the removal of incumbent management.
The effects of the issuance of the Preferred Stock on the holders of Common
Stock could include, among other things, (i) reduction of the amount otherwise
available for payments of dividends on Common Stock if dividends are payable on
the series of Preferred Stock; (ii) restrictions on dividends on Common Stock if
dividends on the series of Preferred Stock are in arrears; (iii) dilution of the
voting power of Common Stock if the series of Preferred Stock has voting rights,
including a possible "veto" power if the series of Preferred Stock has class
voting rights; (iv) dilution of the equity interest of holders of Common Stock
if the series of Preferred Stock is convertible, and is converted, into Common
Stock; and (v) restrictions on the rights of holders of Common Stock to share in
the Company's assets upon liquidation until satisfaction of any liquidation
preference granted to the holders of the series of Preferred Stock. Holders of
Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any
Preferred Stock that may be issued.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of
Common Stock owned. Except as expressly provided by law and except for any
voting rights which may be conferred by the Board of Directors on any shares of
Preferred Stock issued, all voting power is in the Common Stock. Holders of
Common Stock may not cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Holders
of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any additional,
unissued or treasury shares of the Company, or securities of the Company
convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe for or acquire shares of the
Company.
Holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends out of funds
legally available therefor, if and when properly declared by the Board of
Directors. However, the Board of Directors may not declare or pay cash dividends
on Common Stock, and no Common Stock may be purchased by the Company, unless
full dividends on outstanding Preferred Stock are paid for the current dividend
period, and with respect to any outstanding cumulative Preferred Stock, all past
dividend periods. See "Risk Factors-- Dividend History and Restrictions on
Ability to Pay Dividends" and "Supervision and Regulation."
On the liquidation of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled
to share pro rata in any distribution of the assets of the Company, after the
holders of shares of Preferred Stock have received the
88
<PAGE>
liquidation preference of their shares plus any cumulated but unpaid dividends
(whether or not earned or declared), if any, and after all other indebtedness of
the Company has been retired.
TEXAS LAW AND CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Certain provisions of Texas law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
the Company's Bylaws could make more difficult the acquisition of the Company by
means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise and the removal of
incumbent officers and directors. These provisions are intended to discourage
certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to negotiate first
with the Company. A recently enacted Texas law, which became effective September
1, 1997, generally prohibits certain mergers, sales of assets, reclassifications
and other transactions between a publicly-held Texas corporation and any of its
stockholders who beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding stock of such
corporation ("affiliated stockholders") for a period of three years following
the date on which the stockholder acquired shares representing 20% or more of
the corporation's voting power unless two-thirds of the unaffiliated
stockholders approve the transaction at a meeting held no earlier than six
months after such date.
The following discussion is a summary of certain material provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and the Company's Bylaws, copies of which
are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is
a part.
CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Under the Company's Bylaws, the Board of
Directors is classified into three classes, with the directors being elected for
staggered, three-year terms. The classification of the Company's Board of
Directors will have the effect of making it more difficult to change the
composition of the Board of Directors, because at least two annual meetings of
the stockholders would be required to change the control of the Board of
Directors rather than one. In addition, the Bylaws provide that directors may be
removed by the stockholders only for cause and that vacancies on the Board of
Directors may be filled by the remaining directors.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS. The Company's
Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to make
nominations of candidates for election as directors or bring other business
before an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholder Notice
Procedure"). The Stockholder Notice Procedure provides that only persons who are
nominated by, or at the direction of, the Board, or by a stockholder who has
given timely written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting
at which directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as directors
of the Company and that, at an annual meeting, only such business may be
conducted as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of, the
Board of Directors or by a stockholder who has given timely written notice to
the Secretary of the Company of such stockholder's intention to bring such
business before such meeting.
Under the Stockholder Notice Procedure, for notice of stockholder
nominations or other business to be made at an annual meeting to be timely, such
notice must be received by the Company not less than 70 days prior to the first
anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting (or if the date of the annual
meeting is advanced by more than 20 days not later than the tenth day after
public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the number of directors to be elected is
increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for
director or specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Company at
least 80 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting, a stockholder's notice will be timely, but only with respect to
nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by
the Company not later than the tenth day after such public announcement is first
made by the Company. The Bylaws further provide that, for notice of a
stockholder nomination to be made at a special meeting at which directors are to
be elected to be timely, such notice must be received by the Company not later
than the tenth day after public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made.

<PAGE>
Under the Stockholder Notice Procedure, a stockholder's notice to the
Company proposing to nominate a person for election as a director or proposing
other business must contain certain information specified in the Bylaws,
including the identity and address of the nominating stockholder, the class and
number of shares of stock of the Company owned by such stockholder, information
regarding the proposed nominee that would be required under the federal
securities laws to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the
proposed nominee and, with respect to business other than a nomination, a brief
description of the business the stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting and any
material interest of such stockholder in the business so proposed.
The Stockholder Notice Procedure may have the effect of precluding a contest
for the election of directors or the consideration of stockholder proposals if
the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third
party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of
directors or to approve its own proposal, without regard to whether
consideration of such nominees or proposals might be harmful or beneficial to
the Company and its stockholders.
SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Articles of Incorporation provide
that special meetings of stockholders can be called by stockholders only at the
request of the holders of not less than one-half of the outstanding shares of
stock entitled to vote at the meeting.
REDUCED STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN ACTIONS. The Company's
Articles of Incorporation provide that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Texas Business Corporation Act that would require approval of more than a
majority of the shares entitled to vote on such matter and present or
represented by proxy at the meeting, the vote or approval of a majority of the
shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote on such matter will be sufficient
to approve such matter. This provision reduces the required stockholder approval
level for certain actions such as a merger, a consolidation, a share exchange,
certain sales of substantially all of the Company's assets, a dissolution or an
amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, each of which would
otherwise require two-thirds stockholder approval under Texas law.
NO ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Under the TBCA, no action required or
permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be
taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.
AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS. The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
provide that the Bylaws may be amended only by the Board of Directors.
Stockholders do not have the power to amend the Company Bylaws.
UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement between
the Company and the Underwriter, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase from the
Company 600,000 shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price less
the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligation of the Underwriter
is subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriter will
purchase all such shares of the Common Stock if any of such shares are
purchased. The Underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby (other than those covered by the over-allotment
option described below) if any are taken.
The Company has been advised by the Underwriter that the Underwriter
proposes to offer such shares of Common Stock to the public at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to certain
dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $0.61 per share. The
Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may re-allow, a concession not in excess
of $0.10 per share to
90
<PAGE>
certain other dealers. After the initial pubic offering, the offering price and
other selling terms may be changed by the Underwriter.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted to the
Underwriter an option, exercisable not later than 30 days after the date of this
Prospectus, to purchase up to 90,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the
public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus, solely to cover over-allotments. To the
extent that the Underwriter exercises such option, the Underwriter will become
obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase such shares, and the
Company will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell such shares to the
Underwriter.
The Company and each of its directors and executive officers, the related
interests of such directors and executive officers and holders of 5.0% or more
of the Common Stock have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares
of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus
without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, except that the Company
may issue shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding
options. See "Risk Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Until the distribution of the Common Stock is completed, rules of the
Commission (as defined herein) may limit the ability of the Underwriter and
certain selling group members to bid for and purchase the Common Stock. As an
exception to these rules, the Underwriter is permitted to engage in certain
transactions that stabilize the price of the Common Stock. Such transactions
consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining
the price of the Common Stock.
If the Underwriter creates a short position in the Common Stock in
connection with the Offering, i.e., if it sells a greater aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock than is set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus,
the Underwriter may reduce the short position by purchasing shares of Common
Stock in the open market. The Underwriter may also elect to reduce any short
position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option described above.
The Underwriter may also impose a penalty bid on certain selling group
members. This means that if the Underwriter purchases Common Stock in the open
market to reduce the selling group members' short position or to stabilize the
price of the Common Stock, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession
from the selling group members who sold those shares of Common Stock as part of
the Offering.
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than
it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid
might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were
to discourage resales of the security.
Neither the Company nor the Underwriter makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the Common Stock. In addition, neither
the Company nor the Underwriter makes any representation that the Underwriter
will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will
not be discontinued without notice.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock.
Consequently, the initial public offering price for the Common Stock has been
determined by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter. Among the
factors considered in such negotiations were prevailing market and general
economic conditions, the market capitalizations, trading histories and stages of
development of other traded companies that the Company and the Underwriter
believed to be comparable to the
91
<PAGE>
Company, the results of operations of the Company in recent periods, the current
financial position of the Company, estimates of the business potential of the
Company and the present state of the Company's development and the availability
for sale in the market of a significant number of shares of Common Stock.
Additionally, consideration has been given to the general status of the
securities market, the market conditions for new issues of securities and the
demand for securities of comparable companies at the time the Offering was made.
The shares of Common Stock have been approved for quotation on the
Nasdaq/National Market.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company will
be passed upon by Bracewell & Patterson, L.L.P., Houston, Texas. Certain legal
matters with respect to the Common Stock offered hereby have been passed upon
for the Underwriter by Rothgerber, Appel, Powers & Johnson, LLP, Denver,
Colorado.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bay Bancshares, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bay
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Bay Bancshares, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Effective January 1, 1994, Bay Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary adopted
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN
DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES.

BAY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996
IS UNAUDITED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed
in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The policies
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices
within the banking industry.
1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bay
Bancshares, Inc. (BBI) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bayshore National Bank
of La Porte (BNB), collectively (the Company). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks with a maturity at date of purchase of three
months or less, and federal funds sold.
3. SECURITIES
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT
AND EQUITY SECURITIES (Statement 115). At the date of purchase, the Company
classifies debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-
maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. At each reporting date, the
appropriateness of the classification is reassessed. Investments in debt
securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in
the financial statements only if management has the positive intent and ability
to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as
trading and are measured at fair value in the financial statements with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as
held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and are
measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and
losses reported, net of tax, in a separate component of stockholders' equity
until realized. The Company has classified all investment securities as
available-for-sale.
Gains or losses on disposition are recorded in other income on the trade
date, based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the
securities sold using the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair values of individual held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their carrying value that are other than
temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair
value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.
4. LOANS
The Company grants loans to customers primarily in Harris County, Texas and
surrounding counties. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is
dependent upon the economy in this area.
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal, adjusted for unearned discounts, any chargeoffs and the
allowance for credit losses. Accretion of unearned discount on certain
installment loans

NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
is recognized principally using the sum-of-the-periodic balance method which
approximates the level yield method. For other loans, interest income is
recognized using the simple interest method.
In 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR
IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN and SFAS No. 118, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF
A LOAN-INCOME RECOGNITION AND DISCLOSURES. A loan is identified as impaired when
it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in
management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become
due. All loans past due 90 days are placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan
is both well-secured and in the process of collection. When interest accrual is
discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is
subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Loans are
not again placed on accrual status until payments are brought current and, in
management's judgment, the loan will continue to pay as agreed.
5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is considered adequate to provide for credit
losses based on past loan loss experience and management's evaluation of the
loan portfolio under current economic conditions. While management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Recognized
losses, net of recoveries, are charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Additions to the allowance are included in the consolidated statements of
earnings as provision for credit losses.
6. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance, repairs and minor
improvements are charged to noninterest expense as incurred.
7. OTHER REAL ESTATE AND REPOSSESSED ASSETS
Real estate properties acquired by foreclosure and repossessed assets are
recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost
basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management
and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the
valuation allowance are included in other non-interest expenses. Repossessed
assets are primarily automobiles and trucks and are presented on the Balance
Sheet as a component of other assets.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. By agreement
with BBI, BNB records a provision or benefit for federal income taxes on the
same basis as if it filed a separate federal income tax return.

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reported for temporary
differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial
statements and those reported for income tax purposes. For income tax purposes,
BNB deducts the statutory provision for possible loan losses and depreciates
bank premises and equipment using accelerated methods. As changes in tax laws or
rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes.
9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial
instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.
Related fees are recognized when they are incurred or received.
10. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
11. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARES
Earnings per common and common equivalent share is calculated by dividing
net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common stock and common stock equivalents. Stock options are regarded as common
stock equivalents and are therefore considered in earnings per stock
calculations, if dilutive. Options granted within one year of the initial public
offering have been treated as outstanding for all periods as a component of
weighted average common share equivalents. The number of common stock
equivalents is determined using the treasury stock method.
12. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Financial information as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, included herein, is unaudited. Such information
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments),
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
financial information in the interim periods. The results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the full fiscal year.
NOTE B--RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
Cash and balances maintained at the Federal Reserve of approximately $1,551,
$1,469 and $1,135 satisfy regulatory reserve requirements at June 30, 1997,
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

The valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset was decreased by
approximately $102,000, $44,000 and $154,000 during 1996, 1995 and 1994 based on
management's reevaluation of the likelihood of realization.
NOTE I--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various
transactions which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
are not included in the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions are
referred to as "off-balance sheet commitments". The Company enters into these
transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions
include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit which involve
elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated
balance sheets. The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under these
commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.
The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally
with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for
specific purposes. Customers use credit commitments to ensure that funds will be
available for working capital purposes, for capital expenditures and to ensure
access to funds at specified terms and conditions. Substantially all of the
Company's commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining
specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Management assesses the
credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining
the level of the allowance for credit losses.
Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company's
policies generally require that letters of credit arrangements contain security
and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

The Company is involved in certain claims and lawsuits occurring in the
normal course of business. Management, after consultation with outside legal
counsel, does not believe that the outcome of these actions would have a
material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
BNB implemented a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees in 1993.
BNB matches 33% of each employee's contribution up to 6% of annual salary. Total
contributions accrued or paid for the period ended June 30, 1997, December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995 are approximately $30, $27 and $24. Beginning January
1, 1997, the Company began matching 50% of each employee's contribution up to 6%
of the annual salary.
During 1997, the Company created the 1997 Stock Plan (the "1997 Stock
Plan"). This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 150,000 shares of common
stock. Under the 1997 Stock Plan, the vesting of options is governed by
individual option agreements. Each of the option agreements currently
outstanding provides that 20% of the options granted vest immediately following
the date of grant and an additional 20% each year thereafter. Options granted
under the 1997 Stock Plan generally must be exercised within 10 years following
the date of grant. At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding 20,000 shares
under this plan with an exercise price of $7.05 a share and 6,660 of these
shares are exercisable at June 30, 1997. On August 26, 1997, the Company granted
an additional 13,300 shares with an exercise price of $7.05 a share.
The Company's Board of Directors and shareholders approved a new stock
option plan in 1997 (the "1997 Incentive Plan") which authorizes the issuance of
up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock under both "non-qualified" and "incentive
stock" options to employees and "non-qualified" options to directors who are not
employees. Generally, the options vest 60% at the end of the third year
following the date of grant and an additional 20% at the end of the next two
years; however, an individual option may vest as much as 20% a year during the
first two years following the date of the grant if necessary to maximize the
"incentive" tax treatment to the optionee for the particular option being
granted. Options under the 1997 Incentive Plan must be exercised within 10 years
following the date of grant. No options have been granted under the 1997
Incentive Plan.
NOTE J--ACQUISITIONS
On August 22, 1996, the Company acquired in a purchase and assumption
transaction, certain assets and liabilities of First Bank of Texas. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and resulted in the Company
acquiring approximately $800 in loans, $200 in fixed assets and $12,000 in
deposits. The excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired
in the amount of $533 is being amortized over fifteen years.

NOTE J--ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
During June 1997, the Company entered into agreements whereby the Company
would purchase three banks for approximately $15,870 in cash. As of June 30,
1997, these banks totaled approximately $38,000 in loans and $77,000 in
deposits.
NOTE K--EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has a phantom stock grant plan whereby the Company may issue
shares of phantom stock to certain officers and key employees. The aggregate
number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is limited to 135,000. The
number of shares issued is determined based on a financial performance test for
BNB. The phantom stock is nonvoting, accrues dividends declared on the Company's
common stock, and is granted subject to a vesting schedule.
The shares of phantom stock may be redeemed, as vested, at a maximum rate of
6,000 shares per year. Such redemption is payable, at the Company's discretion,
in shares of the Company's common stock or cash at the then fair market value of
the Company's common stock. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, 18,478, 16,357 and 20,384
shares of phantom stock were granted and 6,000 shares of phantom stock were
redeemed for 6,000 shares of the Company's common stock each year. Effective
June 24, 1997, the plan was amended and 35,411 shares were granted. Total
compensation expense charged to the Company's operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $72 and $83, respectively, and for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $114, $66 and $114, respectively.
The Bank has a cash incentive plan which provides guidelines whereby key
executive employees can earn bonus compensation based on the profitability of
BNB. The bonus amounts are determined based on achievement by BNB of certain
percentages of return on equity targets. Total expense under this plan for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $69 and $39, respectively, and for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $78, $72 and $67,
respectively.
NOTE L--REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
During 1996, the Company signed a repurchase agreement with a customer.

NOTE M--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Statement 107) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 119, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Statement 119) requires that the
Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Such
information, which pertains to financial instrument assets and liabilities, is
based on the requirements in Statements 107 and 119 and does not purport to
represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. Further, the fair value
estimates are based on various assumptions, methodologies and subjective
considerations, which vary widely among different financial institutions and
which are subject to change.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
financial instrument fair values:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The balance sheet carrying amount approximates fair value.
SECURITIES TO BE HELD-TO-MATURITY, AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices or
quotations received from securities dealers. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair value estimates may be based on quoted market prices of similar
instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the
instruments being valued.
LOANS
Fair values of loans are estimated for segregated groupings of loans with
similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as
commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage and consumer loans.
Each of these categories is further subdivided into fixed and adjustable rate
loans and performing and nonperforming loans. The fair value of performing loans
is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity
using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate
risk inherent in the various types of loans.
DEPOSITS
Under Statement 107, the fair value of demand deposits, such as non-interest
bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing transaction accounts such as
savings, NOW and money market accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand
as of December 31, 1996 (i.e., their carrying amounts).
Statement 107 defines the fair value of demand deposits as the amount
payable, and prohibits adjustment for any value derived from the expected
retention of such deposits for a period of time. That value, commonly referred
to as the core deposit base intangible, is neither included in the above fair
value amounts nor recorded as an intangible asset in the balance sheet.
The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value
of contractual cash flows. The discount rate used represents rates currently
offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of
accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS
Estimated fair values for the Company's off-balance sheet instruments are

agreements, considering the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standing.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Company's financial instruments at December 31.

The total fair value of the Company's commitments to extend credit and

NOTE N--REGULATORY MATTERS
BBI and BNB are 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 their financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, BBI and BNB must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications 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 minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and
Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined) be
maintained. Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that BBI and BNB meet
all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The most recent notification the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
categorized BNB as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain
minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios

NOTE Q--NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB has issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.
This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. The statement
is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment
of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect
this pronouncement to have a material effect on its financial statements.
The FASB has issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER
SHARE, which is effective for financial statements issued after December 15,
1997. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share
and requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together
with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The pro forma effect
of adopting the new standard would be basic earnings per share of $.63 and $.66
and diluted earnings per share of $.59 and $.64 for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
April 24, 1997
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Texas Bank
Baytown, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Texas Bank as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Texas Bank as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

TEXAS BANK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS: The Bank provides a variety of financial services for
its customers, through its two locations in Baytown and Mont Belvieu, Texas. The
Bank's primary deposit products are checking and certificate of deposit
accounts, and its primary lending products are real estate and commercial loans.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures of loans. In
connection with the determination of the valuation of other real estate,
management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES: The Bank's investments in securities are all
classified as Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale
consist of bonds and notes not classified as securities to be held to maturity.
The Bank does not consider any of its securities as "securities to be held to
maturity," which are securities for which the Bank has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity or "trading securities," which would be any
securities held principally for resale in the near term.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available for
sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders'
equity until realized.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined
using the specific-identification method.
If declines in the fair value below cost of individual held to maturity
securities and available for sale securities are other than temporary, the
individual security would be written down to its fair value. The related write
down would be included in earnings as realized losses.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance is maintained at a level adequate
to absorb probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance
based upon review of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic
conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and
other pertinent factors. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged to the
allowance. Provisions for loan losses, which are charged to expense, and
recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Because
of uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, management's estimate of
credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may
change in the near term.
PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT: Properties and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over the expected asset life.
INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS: Unearned discount on installment loans is
recognized as income over the terms of the loans by the sum of the periodic
balances method. Interest on other loans is accrued and credited to income based
on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is
discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the
borrower may be unable

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
to meet payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid
accrued interest is reversed. As a matter of policy, unsecured loans over 90
days past due are placed on nonaccrual status. Secured loans over 90 days past
due are placed on nonaccrual status following review by management to determine
whether the circumstances surrounding each loan in question indicate that
cessation of interest accruals is appropriate.
OTHER REAL ESTATE: Other real estate, acquired through partial or total
satisfaction of loans, is initially carried at the lower of the fair market
value of the other real estate or the balance of the loan which was secured by
the other real estate. At the date of acquisition, losses are charged to the
allowance for loan losses. If the fair market value of the other real estate
subsequently decreases, the carrying amount is adjusted and write downs are
charged to the current period operations. Gains or losses on disposition of
other real estate are also recorded under current period operations.
OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: In the ordinary course of business
the Bank has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial
instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of presentation in the Statements
of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included
in the balance sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks."
INCOME TAXES: Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or
refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as
interest on state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary
differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in
the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the
period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled as prescribed in FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. As change in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Financial information as of June 30, 1997,
and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, included herein, is
unaudited. Such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial information in the interim periods. The results
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 8--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Bank has various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in
the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk,
interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent
liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A
summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DECEMBER 31,
JUNE 30, --------------------------
1997 1996 1995
------------ ------------ ------------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Commitments to extend credit.................................. $ 2,033,331 $ 2,668,157 $ 2,318,558
Standby letters of credit..................................... $ 148,480 $ 148,480 $ 172,980
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit all include
exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The
Bank's credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial
guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded in
the balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally
present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank.
In addition, the Bank is a defendant on various legal proceedings arising in
connection with its business. It is the opinion of the Bank's legal counsel that
neither the financial position nor results of operations of the Bank will be
materially affected by the final outcome of these legal proceedings, and the
Bank's management concurs with that opinion.
The Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit in which the final outcome cannot be
determined at this time. The possible range of loss is from $0 to $250,000.
Employees of the Bank are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days, and
personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and other
factors. It is impracticable to estimate the amount of

compensation for future absences, and, accordingly, no liability has been
recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank's policy is to
recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.
On June 24, 1997, the Bank signed an agreement with Bay Bancshares, Inc.,
whereby Bay Bancshares, Inc., would purchase all of the outstanding stock of
Texas Bank and immediately thereafter merge Texas Bank with Bayshore National
Bank. The transaction is awaiting regulatory approval with closure anticipated
to occur in October 1997.
The Bank has an employment agreement with its president which provides a
minimum salary of $87,666 plus bonus and certain other benefits. The Bank and
president have agreed, subsequent to June 30, 1997, to a settlement of
approximately $115,000 for termination of the contract upon completion of the
above referenced merger.
Upon completion of the pending merger, Texas Bank will terminate its current
data processing contract. The agreement provides for payment to the data
processing provider for at least 180 days after notification of termination. At
this time it is not possible to determine the amount which will need to be paid
after ceasing use of the current data processor.
NOTE 9--CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have
been granted to customers in the Bank's market area. Most customers are
depositors of the Bank. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set
forth in Note 3. The Bank, as a matter of policy, does not extend credit to any
single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess of $500,000.
NOTE 10--RETIREMENT PLAN
The Bank has a profit sharing plan that covers the employees of the Bank.
Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Contributions to the plan charged to operations were $30,458 in 1996 and $28,121
in 1995. The Bank has accrued for anticipated 1997 contributions to the plan of
approximately $32,000.
NOTE 11--REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk
weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulator. At June 30, 1997, and
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank was required to have minimum Tier 1 and
total capital ratios of 4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The Bank's actual
ratios at June 30, 1997, were 17.11 and 8.77 percent, respectively, at December
31, 1996, the actual ratios were 17.01 percent and 9.98 percent, respectively,
and at December 31, 1995, the actual ratios were 14.28 percent and 15.11
percent, respectively. The Bank's leverage ratios at June 30, 1997, and December
31, 1996 and 1995, were 9.54 percent, 8.41 percent, and 9.30 percent,
respectively.
NOTE 12--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 24, 1997, the Bank paid a cash dividend totaling $25,613 to its
shareholders.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Texas National Bank of Baytown:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Texas National Bank of
Baytown as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
earnings, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Texas National Bank of
Baytown as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

TEXAS NATIONAL BANK OF BAYTOWN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS OF/AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
AND JUNE 30, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation
of the accompanying financial statements follow:
Texas National Bank of Baytown is operates a single location in Baytown,
Texas, offering full service banking to its customers primarily in the
Baytown area.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
a) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS--The real estate owned was acquired in a
non-cash transaction. For purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and Federal
funds sold.
b) INVESTMENT SECURITIES--Management determines the appropriate
classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has
the intent and the Bank has the ability at the time of purchase to hold
securities until maturity or on a long-term basis, they are classified as
held to maturity and carried at amortized historical cost. Securities to
be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to
maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as available for sale and
carried at market value. Securities held for indefinite periods of time
include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset
and liabilities management strategy and that may be sold in response to
changes in interest rate, resultant prepayment risk and other factors,
related to interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes.
Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on the net
proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the
specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on investment
securities classified as available for sale are based on difference
between book value and market value of each security. These gains and
losses are credited or charged to stockholders' equity, whereas realized
gains and losses flow through the Bank's yearly operations.
c) LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES--Loans are stated at the
amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance
for loan losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as
income over the terms of the loans by the interest method. Interest on
other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily
balances of the principle amount outstanding. The allowance for loan
losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to
expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The
allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to
absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible,
based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss
experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic
conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Accrual of
interest is discontinued on a loan 90 days past due or sooner if
management believes, after considering economic and business conditions
and collection efforts, that the borrowers' financial condition is such
that collection of interest is doubtful.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d) DEPRECIATION--Office equipment and buildings are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation computed principally on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
e) INCOME TAXES--Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of
transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
currently due plus deferred taxes related to differences between the
basis of accumulated depreciation and allowance for loan losses for
financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and
liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets
and liabilities are recovered or settled.
f) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE--Earnings per common share equivalent
is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.
g) INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--Financial information as of June
30, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
included herein, is unaudited. Such information includes all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial
information in the interim periods. The results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business the Bank makes various commitments and
incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the accompanying
financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include various
guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. At June
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and 1995, commitments to extend credit and
commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated $18,000, $-0-and $72,000,
respectively. The Bank does not anticipate any material losses as a result of
the commitments and contingent liabilities.
Since 1992 the Bank has been party to administrative and judicial
proceedings with its regulatory agency. The regulatory agency alleged that the
Bank violated certain laws relating to loan concentration and loan limit by
originating certain loan participations. From inception management has
vigorously opposed the allegations. Solely in an effort to placate the
regulatory agency and without admitting any wrongdoing the Bank initiated
efforts in 1994 to dispose of the certain loans. The Bank currently has an
extension until December 31, 1997 to reduce the remaining loans below the Bank's
legal lending limit.
The Bank contracts for data-processing services under a contract which
expires in 1997. Total contract expense for June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $38,044, $69,920 and $63,793, respectively. The following is a
schedule of the related future minimum contract payments:

(9) RETAINED EARNINGS
Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without
prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency.
(10) REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank 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
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for 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 judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-

(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notational amount of
those instruments (See note 7). The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount and type of collateral obtained,
if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, varies and is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of
credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and
may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank's policy for obtaining collateral and the nature of such
collateral is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to
extend credit.
(12) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires management to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments as of the balance sheet date.
Management is unable to estimate the fair value of financial instruments
included in the statements other than investment securities which are disclosed
in footnote 2. However, management is of the opinion that the fair value does
not differ significantly from the recorded value of those financial instruments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
First Bank of Deer Park:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Bank of Deer Park

in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of First Bank of Deer Park as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

FIRST BANK OF DEER PARK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INFORMATION AS OF/AND FOR
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Bank is a state chartered institution offering full banking services in
the Deer Park area.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accounting and reporting policies of First Bank of Deer Park (Bank)
conform to generally accepted accounting principles. A description of the more
significant accounting policies follows:
(a) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS--The real estate owned was acquired in a
non-cash transaction. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and Federal funds
sold.
(b) INVESTMENT SECURITIES--Management determines the appropriate
classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the
intent and the Bank has the ability at the time of purchase to hold
securities until maturity or on a long-term basis, they are classified as
held to maturity and carried at amortized historical cost. Securities to be
held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity
or on a long-term basis are classified as available for sale and carried at
fair value. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include
securities that management intends to use as part of its asset and
liabilities management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes
in interest rate, resultant prepayment risk and other factors, related to
interest rate and resultant prepayment risk changes.
Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on the net proceeds
and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific
identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities
available for sale are based on the difference between book value and fair
value of each security. These gains and losses, net of any income tax
effect, are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses flow through the Bank's yearly statements of
income.
(c) LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES--Loans are stated at the amount
of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan
losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over
the terms of the loans by the interest method. Interest on other loans is
calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the
principal amount outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses charged to expenses. Loans are charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing
loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take
into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the
loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans,
and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to
pay. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan 90 days past due or
sooner if management believes, after considering economic and business
conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers' financial condition
is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(d) DEPRECIATION--Office equipment and buildings are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation computed principally on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
(e) REAL ESTATE OWNED--Real estate owned represents real estate acquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is stated at the
lower of the outstanding loan balance at the time of foreclosure or
appraised value. Gains on the sale of real estate owned are generally
deferred and recognized on the installment method as the sale proceeds are
received. Losses and write-downs resulting from periodic re-evaluations of
the property are charged to other expenses.
(f) INCOME TAXES--Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of
transactions reported in the financial statement, regardless of the period
in which such items are recognized for tax purposes. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result
in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income
tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus
the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
(g) DEFERRED LOAN FEES--Loan commitment and origination fees and the
direct costs of loan origination are deferred. The net deferred loan fees
are amortized into income over the life of the related loans.
(h) OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--In the ordinary course of
business, the Bank has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments
consisting of commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit.
Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when
they become payable.
(i) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE--Earnings per common share is calculated
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.
(j) INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--Financial information as of June 30,
1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, included herein,
is unaudited. Such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the financial information in the interim
periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal
year.

(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Bank is a defendant in legal actions arising from normal business
activities. Management believes that those actions are without merit or that the
ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially affect the
Bank"s financial position.
Since 1992, the Bank has been party to administrative and judicial
proceedings with its regulatory agency. The regulatory agency alleged that the
Bank violated certain laws relating to loan concentration and loan limit by
originating certain loan participations. From inception management has
vigorously opposed the allegations. In April 1995, an appellate court upheld the
ruling of the lower court to affirm the cease and desist orders originally
issued in 1992. Because the probability of reversal was remote, management
decided to take no further appellant action.
In an effort to fully comply and cooperate with the regulatory agency and
without admitting any wrongdoing the Bank initiated efforts in 1995 to dispose
of the certain loans. On January 27, 1995, the Bank received payoff of twelve
loans in which its participation totalled approximately $6,113,000. The
consideration received totalled approximately $5,807,000. The $306,000
difference was reserved at December 31, 1994 and charged to other expenses.
In an effort to fully comply and cooperate with the regulatory agency the
Bank is actively attempting to market the remaining nine loans in order to
reduce the loan concentration at least to the Bank's legal lending limit of
$550,000. These efforts are fully and timely communicated to the regulatory
agency to obtain approved time extensions for full compliance. The Bank
currently has an extension until December 31, 1997 to reduce the loan
concentration. The balance of the related loans at December 31, 1996 is
approximately $3,050,000. The regulatory agency has required the Bank to include
approximately $155,000 of specific reserves on these loans in the allowance for
loan losses.

The Bank contracts for data-processing services under a contract which
expires in October 1997. The total contract expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was
$64,068, $140,044 and $146,398, respectively. The following is a schedule of the
estimated future contract payments:

In the normal course of business the Bank makes various commitments and
incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the accompanying
financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include various
guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. Such
commitments and standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $679,000,
$136,000 and $310,000 at June 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Bank does not anticipate any material losses as a result of
the commitments and contingent liabilities.
(9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(10) REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank 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
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for 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 judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

(10) REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.

FIRST BANK OF DEER PARK
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(INFORMATION AS OF/AND FOR
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996 IS UNAUDITED)
(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notational amount of
those instruments (See note 7). The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount and type of collateral obtained,
if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, varies and is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of
credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and
may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank's policy for obtaining collateral and the nature of such
collateral is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to
extend credit.
(12) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
Most of the Bank's loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of
credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's market area. Most such
customers are depositors of the Bank. The concentrations of credit by type of
loan are set forth in Note 3. Commercial and standby letters of credit were
granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
(13) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires management to
estimate the fair value of financial instruments as of the balance sheet date.
Management is unable to estimate the fair value of financial instruments
included in the statements other than investment securities which are disclosed
in footnote 2. However, management is of the opinion that the fair value does
not differ significantly from the recorded value of those financial instruments.
