BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prosperity
Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First
Prosperity Bank (the "Bank") and Prosperity Holdings, Inc. All significant
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements
and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K
filed on March 24, 1999. Operating results for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires that all
components of comprehensive income and total comprehensive income be reported on
one of the following: (1) the statement of operations, (2) the statement of
shareholders' equity, or (3) a separate statement of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to shareholders'
equity, except those due to investments by owners (changes in capital surplus)
and distributions to owners (dividends). The Company is reporting comprehensive
income on its statement of changes in shareholders' equity.

      Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on
available for sale securities. The Company is reporting other comprehensive
income on its statement of changes in shareholders' equity.

      SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," establishes new standards for public companies to report
information about their operating segments, products and services, geographic
areas and major customers. The statement is effective for financial statements
issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has adopted
SFAS No. 131 effective January 1, 1998. Adoption had no material effect on the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

      SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
value. This statement is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 1999.
Management believes the implementation of this pronouncement will not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

      Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding
Company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the
operation of First Prosperity Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a full-service bank
that provides a broad line of financial products and services to small and
medium-sized businesses and consumers through 12 full-service banking locations,
three of which are located in the greater Houston metropolitan area. The
following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding
future financial conditions, results of operations and the Company's business
operations. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including, but not limited to, monetary policy and general economic conditions
in Texas and the Houston metropolitan area, the risks of changes in interest
rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of
loan collateral securities and interest rate protection agreements, the actions
of competitors and customers, the success of the Company in implementing its
strategic plan, the failure of the assumptions underlying the reserves for loan
losses and the estimations of values of collateral and various financial assets
and liabilities, that the costs of technological changes, including "Year 2000"
data systems and compliance issues, are more difficult or expensive than
anticipated, the effects of regulatory restrictions imposed on banks and bank
holding companies generally, and other uncertainties discussed in the Company's
other public reports and filings and public statements. Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should these underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from outcomes expected or
anticipated by the Company.

OVERVIEW

      The Company showed positive earnings growth for the quarter ended March

Bank in East Bernard, Texas (the "Union Acquisition") in the fourth quarter of

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

      Net interest income was $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
compared with $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, an increase of
$1.1 million, or 39.9%. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase
in average interest-earning assets to $426.1 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 from $297.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, an increase
of $128.2 million, or 43.0%. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis
decreased to 4.02% from 4.11% for the same periods, principally due to a 31
basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a 20 basis
point decrease in the yield on interest-bearing liabilities.

      The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and
mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as
a "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change." The following tables set forth,
for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts,
and the average rate earned or paid for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
1998. The tables also set forth the average rate paid on total interest-bearing
liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning
assets for the same periods.

(2)  The net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by average
     interest-earning assets.

(3)  In order to make pretax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt
     investments and loans comparable to those on taxable investments and loans,
     a tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed using a federal income tax
     rate of 34%.

income and interest expense for the major components of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and distinguishes between the increase
(decrease) related to outstanding balances and the volatility of interest rates.
For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which
cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

      Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality and provides
specific loss allowances when necessary. Loans are charged-off against the
allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses
the best information available to make determinations with respect to the
allowance for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. As of March 31, 1999, the allowance for credit losses amounted
to $1.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans compared with $1.9 million, or .09% of
total loans at December 31, 1998.

      Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the total
allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company based on such factors as historical experience, the volume and type of
policies, general economic conditions and other factors related to the
collectibility of loans in the Company's portfolio.

      The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
$65,000 compared with $70,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, net recoveries were $1,000.

      Noninterest income totaled $703,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 compared with $633,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $70,000,
or 11.1%. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was principally
due to the Union Acquisition.

      Salaries and employee benefit expenses were $1.4 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 compared with $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998, an increase of $395,000, or 38.4%, The change was due primarily to an
increase in the number of employees due to the Union Acquisition and annual
employee salary increases.

      Non-staff expenses increased $171,000, or 15.8%, to $1.2 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase
was principally due to the Union Acquisition.

INCOME TAXES

      Income tax expense increased $224,000 to $664,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 from $440,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher pretax net earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOAN PORTFOLIO

      Total loans were $178.0 million at March 31, 1999, an increase of $7.5
million, or 4.4% from $170.5 million at December 31, 1998. Loan growth occurred
primarily in 1-4 family residential and home equity loans. Period end loans
comprised 41.8% of average earning assets at March 31, 1999 compared with 51.9%
at December 31, 1998.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

      The Company had $131,000 and $140,000 in nonperforming assets for the
periods ended March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The Company
generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when
the payment of principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in
some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying
collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. The Company generally
charges off all loans before attaining nonaccrual status.

      The following table presents information regarding nonperforming assets as
of the dates indicated:

SECURITIES

      Securities totaled $231.7 million at March 31, 1999 compared with $227.7
million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $4.0 million, or 1.7%. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in deposits. At March 31, 1999, securities
represented 50.2% of total assets compared with 52.2% of total assets at
December 31, 1998.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

      Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $6.1
million at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

DEPOSITS

      Total deposits were $417.4 million at March 31, 1999 compared with $390.7
million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $26.7 million. At March 31, 1999,
non-interest bearing deposits accounted for approximately 


                                       14
<PAGE>
19.6% of total deposits compared with 21.8% of total deposits at December 31,
1998. Interest-bearing demand deposits totaled $335.7 million, or 80.4%, of
total deposits at March 31, 1999 compared with $305.7 million, or 78.2%, of
total deposits at December 31, 1998.

BORROWINGS

      The Company had no notes payable and no Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
advances at March 31, 1999, compared with $2.4 million in FHLB advances at
December 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY

      Effective management of balance sheet liquidity is necessary to fund
growth in earning assets and to pay liability maturities, depository customers'
withdrawal requirements and shareholders' dividends. Thc Company has numerous
sources of liquidity including a significant portfolio of shorter-term assets,
marketable investment securities (excluding those presently classified as
"held-to-maturity"), increases in customers' deposits, and access to borrowing
arrangements. Available borrowing arrangements maintained by the Company include
federal funds lines with other commercial banks and an advancement arrangement
with the FHLB.

      Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily
marketable or which will mature in the near future. As of March 31, 1999, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $32.1 million, down from $18.3 million
at December 31, 1998. The decline was due primarily to an increase in loans.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Total shareholders' equity was $42.3 million at March 31, 1999 compared
with $41.4 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $828,000, or 2.0%. The
increase was due primarily to net earnings of $1.4 million (less dividends of
$260,000 and change in unrealized gain on available for sale securities of
$234,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      Both the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with respect to
the Company, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), with
respect to the Bank, have established certain minimum risk-based capital
standards that apply to bank holding companies and federally insured banks. As
of March 31, 1999 the Company's risk-based capital ratios were above the levels
required for the Company to be designated as "well capitalized", with Tier 1
capital, total risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios of 17.58%, 18.62%
and 7.24%, respectively. As of March 31, 1999, the bank's risk-based capital
ratios were above the levels required for the Bank to be designated as "well
capitalized" by the FDIC, with Tier-1 capital, total risk-based capital and
leverage capital ratios of 13.08%, 14.11% and 5.38%, respectively.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

      GENERAL. The Year 2000 risk involves computer programs and computer
software that are not able to perform without interruption into the Year 2000.
If computer systems do not correctly recognize the date change from December 31,
1999 to January 1, 2000, computer applications that rely on the date field could
fail or create erroneous results. Such erroneous results could affect interest,
payment or due dates or cause the temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. If these issues
are not addressed by the Company, its suppliers and its borrowers, there could
be a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

      STATE OF READINESS. The Company formally initiated its Year 2000 project
and plan in November 1997 to insure that its operational and financial systems
will not be adversely affected by year problems. The Company has formed a Year
2000 project team and the Board of Directors and management are supporting all
compliance efforts and allocating the necessary resources to ensure completion.
An inventory of all systems and products (including both information technology
("IT") and non-informational technology ("non-IT") systems) that could be
affected by the Year 2000 date change has been developed, verified and
categorized as to its importance to the Company and an 


                                       15
<PAGE>
assessment of all major IT and critical non-IT systems has been completed. This
assessment involved inputting test data which simulates the Year 2000 date
change into such IT systems and reviewing the system output for accuracy. The
Company's assessment of critical non-IT systems involved reviewing such systems
to determine whether they were date dependent. Based on such assessment, the
Company believes that none of its critical non-IT systems are date dependent.
The software for the Company's systems is provided through service bureaus and
software vendors. The Company has contacted all of its third party vendors and
software providers and is requiring them to demonstrate and represent that the
products provided are or will be Year 2000 compliant and has planned a program
of testing compliance. The Company's service bureau, which performs
substantially all of the Company's data processing functions, has warranted in
writing that its software is Year 2000 compliant and pursuant to applicable
regulatory guidelines the Company has reviewed the results of user group tests
performed by the service provider to verify this assertion. The Company believes
it would have recourse against the service provider for actual damages incurred
by the Company in the event the service provider breaches this warranty. In
addition, the Company's compliance with Year 2000 issues has been reviewed by
the FDIC twice.

      The Company has completed the following phases of its Year 2000 plan: (i)
recognizing Year 2000 issues, (ii) assessing the impact of Year 2000 issues on
the Company's critical systems and (iii) upgrading systems as necessary to
resolve those Year 2000 issues which have been identified. The Company has
implemented and tested all of its mission critical systems.

      COSTS OF COMPLIANCE. Management does not expect the costs of bringing the
Company's systems into Year 2000 compliance will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial conditions, results of operations or liquidity. The
Company has budgeted $10,000 to address Year 2000 issues. As of March 31, 1999,
the Company has not incurred any significant costs in relation to Year 2000. The
largest potential risk to the Company concerning Year 2000 is the malfunction of
its data processing system. In the event its data processing system does not
function properly, the Company is prepared to perform functions manually. The
Company believes it is in compliance with regulatory guidelines regarding Year
2000 compliance, including the timetable for achieving compliance.

      RISKS RELATED TO THIRD PARTIES. The impact of Year 2000 non-compliance by
third parties with which the Company transacts business cannot be accurately
gauged. The Company identified its largest dollar deposit (aggregate deposits
over $500,000) and loan ($250,000 or more) customers and, based on information
available to the Company, conducted a preliminary evaluation to determine which
of those customers are likely to be affected by Year 2000 issues. The Company
then surveyed those customers deemed at risk to determine their readiness with
respect to Year 2000 issues, including their awareness of Year 2000 issues,
plans to address such issues and progress with respect to such plans. The survey
included approximately 71% of all depositors with average balances of $500,000
or greater, which is approximately 10 % of its total dollar deposit base , and
approximately 53% of its borrowers of $250,000 or more, which is approximately
13% of its total dollar loan base. As of the date hereof, the responses show
that the customers are aware of Year 2000 issues, are in the process of updating
their systems and have informed the Company that they believe they will be ready
for the Year 2000 date change by the end of 1999. The Company will continue to
review such responses and will encourage customers to resolve any identified
problems. To the extent a problem is identified, the Company intends to monitor
the customer's progress in resolving such problem. In the event that Year 2000
noncompliance adversely affects a borrower, the Company may be required to
charge-off the loan to that borrower. For a discussion of possible effects of
such charge-offs, see "--Contingency Plans" below. In the event that Year 2000
noncompliance causes a depositor to withdraw funds, the Company plans to
maintain additional cash on hand. The Company also has access to the FHLB and
Federal Reserve Discount Windows to address any additional liquidity needs. With
respect to its borrowers, the Company includes in its loan documents a Year 2000
disclosure form and an addendum to the loan agreement in which the borrower
represents and warrants its Year 2000 compliance to the Company.

      CONTINGENCY PLANS. The Company has finalized its contingency planning with
respect to the Year 2000 date change and believes that if its own systems should
fail, the company could convert to a manual entry system for a period of up to

critical systems could be recovered and operating within seven days. In the
event that the Federal Reserve is unable to handle-electronic funds transfers

condition or results of operations as long as the Company is able to utilize an
alternative electronic funds transfer and clearing source. As part of its
contingency planning, the Company has reviewed its loan customer base and the
potential impact on capital of Year 2000 noncompliance. Based upon such review,
using what it considers to be a reasonable worst case scenario, the Company has
assumed that certain of its commercial borrowers whose businesses are most
likely to be affected by Year 2000 noncompliance would be unable to repay their
loans, resulting in charge-offs of loan amounts in excess of collateral values.
If such were the case, the Company believes that it is unlikely that its
exposure would exceed $300,000, although there are no assurances that this
amount will not be substantially higher. The Company does not believe that this
amount is material enough for the Company to adjust it current methodology for
making provisions to the allowance for credit losses. In addition, the Company
plans to maintain additional cash on hand to meet any unusual deposit withdrawal
activity.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      The Company manages market risk, which for the Company is primarily
interest rate risk, through its Asset Liability Committee which is composed of
senior officers of the Company, in accordance with policies approved by the
Company's Board of Directors.

      The Company uses simulation analysis to examine the potential effects of
market changes on net interest income and market value. It considers
macroeconomic variables, Company strategy, liquidity and other factors as it
quantifies market risk. There have been no material changes of this nature since
the Company's Form 10-K filing on March 24, 1999. See Form 10-K, Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations-Interest Rate
Sensitivity and Liquidity".
