NOTE 2 - Business Combinations

   On January 27, 1994, the Company acquired 1st Performance National Bank
("1st Performance"), of Jacksonville, Florida, in a cash transaction.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  At the date of acquisition,  1st
Performance had assets of $278 million and equity of $35 million.
   The Company completed the acquisition of Security Bank, N.A. ("Security") of
Houston, Texas on May 1, 1994, with the issuance of 465,297 shares of the
Company's common stock.  At the date of acquisition, Security had assets of $76
million and equity of $6 million.  The transaction was accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting and accordingly all prior period
information has been restated.
   On May 12, 1994, the Company acquired three branches of Anchor Savings Bank
in the Jacksonville, Florida area with deposits of $31 million and assets of $1
million, with the balance received in cash.  The deposit assumption and branch
acquisition were accounted for as a purchase.
   On October 1, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of 22 branches of
First Heights Bank, fsb, of Houston, Texas, with deposits of approximately $870
million and assets of $68 million, with the balance received in cash.  The
deposit assumption and branch acquisition were accounted for as a purchase.
   The Company completed the acquisition of Southwest Bankers, Inc.
("Southwest"), of San Antonio, Texas, and its bank subsidiary, The Bank of San
Antonio, on March 7, 1995, with the issuance of 949,987 shares of the Company's
common stock. At the date of acquisition, Southwest had assets of $142 million
and equity of $9 million.  The transaction was accounted for under the pooling-
of-interests method of accounting and accordingly all prior period information
has been restated.
   On July 19, 1995, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire Flower
Mound Bancshares, Inc. ("Flower Mound"), of Dallas, Texas, and its bank
subsidiary, Security Bank, for 340,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
At June 30, 1995, Flower Mound had assets of $47 million and equity of $4
million.  It is anticipated that the transaction will close in the first
quarter of 1996 and will be accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method
of accounting.

NOTE 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   During the second quarter of 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan, as amended by FASB Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures, ("FAS114").   FAS114
requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, which is
the contractual interest rate adjusted for any deferred loan fees or costs,
premium, or discount existing at the inception or acquisition of the loan.  As
a practical alternative, a company may base the measurement of impairment on a
loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the
repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the collateral
(i.e., the loan is collateral dependent). FAS114 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994.

NOTE 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

   The Company adopted the provisions of FAS114 during the first quarter of
1995.  At June 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are considered
impaired under FAS114 was $52.4 million, of which $12.9 million were on
nonaccrual status.  Included in this amount is $52.3 million of impaired loans
for which the related allowance for loan losses was $13.1 million and $100,000
of loans that have no related allowance for loan losses.  The adoption of
FAS114 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                              Results of Operations

Overview

   Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, increased 13 percent to
$27.8 million while net income for the first six months of 1995 increased 7
percent to $52.1 million from the comparable prior year periods.  Net income
per common share for the second quarter increased 11 percent to $0.72 compared
to the same period in 1994 while net income per common share for the first six
months of 1995 increased 6 percent to $1.36.  Net interest income increased by
$2.6 million, or 3 percent, during the second quarter of 1995 and $7.0 million,
or 4 percent, during the first six months of the year. Noninterest income
increased 98 percent in the second quarter of 1995 while noninterest expense
increased 15 percent. For the first six months of 1995, noninterest income and
noninterest expense increased 63 percent and 17 percent, respectively.
   In March of 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Southwest
Bankers, Inc. ("Southwest"), of San Antonio, Texas, and its bank subsidiary,
The Bank of San Antonio, for 949,987 shares of the Company's common stock.  The
acquisition of Southwest was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting and accordingly the financial statements have been
restated for all periods to reflect the acquisition.  During the fourth quarter
of 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of 22 branches of First Heights
Bank, fsb, ("First Heights"), of Houston, Texas, with deposits of approximately
$870 million and assets of $68 million. A complete list of acquisitions is
included in "Acquisitions" and "Pending Acquisitions" under Item 1 - Business
in the Company's 1994 Form 10-K.

Net Interest Income

   Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1995, increased $2.6
million over the second quarter of 1994 to $86.0 million.  On a tax-equivalent
basis, net interest income increased $2.4 million or 3 percent.  This increase
was a result of a $38.2 million, or 27 percent, increase in interest income on
a tax-equivalent basis and a $35.8 million, or 63 percent, increase in interest
expense.  The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average
yield on earning assets from 7.78 percent to 8.36 percent coupled with an
increase in average earning assets of $1.3 billion.  The largest portion of the
increase in earning assets occurred in the average balances of investment
securities and loans, specifically real estate mortgages and commercial loans,
with a decline in the average balances of all other categories of earning
assets.  This increase in the average balance of loans and investment
securities was funded by cash received in the acquisition of First Heights as
well as growth in all categories of deposits and an increase in FHLB and other
borrowings.
   Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1995, increased by
$35.8 million, or 63 percent, from the prior year, due principally to a 20
percent increase in average interest bearing deposits and a 114 basis point
increase in the average rate paid on deposits. The increase in the average
balance of deposits was primarily due to the assumption of approximately $870
million in deposits in the First Heights acquisition.  Additionally, the
average balances of federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase increased 30 percent while the average balance of FHLB
advances and other borrowings increased by $156 million, as $50 million of
subordinated debentures issued by the Company in the third quarter of 1994 and
additional FHLB advances of $110 million in the fourth quarter of 1994 were
used to fund asset growth and reduce other short-term borrowings.
   For the six months ended June 30, 1995, net interest income increased $7.0
million, or 4 percent, over the prior year period to $172.8 million.  On a tax-
equivalent basis, net interest income increased $6.7 million, or 4 percent.  An
increase in the average yield on earning assets from 7.76 percent to 8.32
percent along with an increase in average earning assets of $1.4 billion
resulted in a $76.4 million, or 28 percent, increase in interest income.  As
noted above, growth in the average balance of deposits and FHLB and other
borrowings and the investment of cash received in the First Heights acquisition
funded the increase in loans and investment securities.
   Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased by $69.7
million, or 64 percent, from the prior year as the average balance of interest
bearing liabilities, primarily interest bearing deposits, increased by 22
percent and the average rate paid on liabilities rose by 128 basis points.  The
increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities resulted from
a 104 basis point increase in the rate paid on deposits and more than a 200
basis point increase in the rate paid on all other categories of borrowings.
The average balances of federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase increased 19 percent while the average balance of FHLB
advances and other borrowings increased by 48 percent as a result of the
additional borrowings discussed above.

Net Interest Margin

   Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield on average earning
assets obtained by dividing the difference between the overall interest income
on earning assets and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by
average earning assets.  For the first six months of 1995, the net interest
margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 4.12 percent compared to 4.72 percent
for the same period in 1994.  This 60 basis point decrease resulted from the
changes in rates and volumes of earning assets and the corresponding funding
sources noted previously.  While the yield on interest earning assets increased
56 basis points, including a 73 basis point increase in the yield on loans, the
rate paid on all categories of interest bearing liabilities increased ranging
from a 104 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest bearing deposits
to a 269 basis point increase in the rate paid on FHLB and other borrowings.
The impact of this decline on net interest margin was partially mitigated by a
4 percent increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing demand
deposits.  During the first six months of 1995, the positive impact of the
Company's use of interest rate contracts continued to decline.  While the use
of interest rate contracts increased the Company's net interest margin by 16
basis points during the six months ended June 30, 1994, the use of interest
rate contracts increased the Company's net interest margin by only 2 basis
points during the same period in 1995.
   For the second quarter of 1995, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent
basis, was 4.05 percent compared to 4.65 percent for the same period in 1994.
An increase in the rates paid on deposits from 3.66 percent to 4.80 percent was
the major contributor to the decline in the net interest margin.  The impact of
the 131 basis point increase in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was
partially offset by a 58 basis point increase in the average rate earned on
interest earning assets from 7.78 percent to 8.36 percent.   During the second
quarter of 1995, the Company's net interest margin was positively impacted by
the Company's use of interest rate contracts, increasing taxable equivalent net
interest margin by 2 basis points as compared to a positive impact of 14 basis
points for the same period in 1994.  Due to the fact that the Company continues
to be liability sensitive at June 30, 1995, it is anticipated that the
Company's net interest margin will continue to be impacted by the more frequent
repricing of interest bearing liabilities.
   The tables on the following page detail the components of the changes in net
interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) by major category of interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the six months and three
months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to comparable periods of 1994 (in
thousands):

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

   For the six months ended June 30, 1995, noninterest income increased $22.7
million, or 63 percent, to $58.6 million.  Noninterest income for the second
quarter of 1995 increased $16.0 million, or 98 percent, over the same period in
1994.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.8 million, or 16
percent, while trading account profits (losses) and commissions increased $4.9
million during the second quarter of 1995. During the first six months of the
year, service charges on deposit accounts increased $3.6 million, or 17
percent, and trading account profits (losses) and commissions increased $10.4
million.  The increase in service charges resulted from the increase in
deposits.  The increase in trading account profits and commissions on bond
sales and trading activities was due chiefly to the absence of losses incurred
during the first and second quarters of 1994 on collateralized mortgage
obligation inverse floaters ("inverse floaters") held in the Company's trading
account.  All of the inverse floaters previously held in the trading account
were sold in the first and second quarters of 1994.  It should be noted that
changes in the trading account profits (losses) and commissions in future
quarters cannot be predicted accurately because of the uncertainty of changes
in market conditions.  There can be no assurance that such amounts will or will
not continue at their current levels.  For the six months of 1995, trading
account profits related specifically to derivative securities were
approximately $280,000, consisting of $720,000 of profits related to
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") held in the trading account offset
by $440,000 of losses on non-CMO derivative securities, specifically options
and interest rate swaps, caps, and floors.
   The components of trading account assets at June 30, 1995, and December 31,
1994, are presented in the following table.

   The $8.2 million loss on purchase of securities from common trust fund in
1994 resulted from the purchase of inverse floaters by the Company during the
second quarter of 1994 from a common trust fund managed by the trust division
of the Company's lead bank.  Due to the increase in the general level of
interest rates, the common trust fund customers faced significant losses on
inverse floaters held in the portfolio.  In evaluating the suitability of these
investments for the common trust fund subsequent to the decline in market
value, the Company determined that it would be in the best interests of the
Company, its lead bank, and its trust customers to purchase these securities at
book value from the common trust fund.  As a result of this decision, the
Company purchased inverse floaters with a fair value of $27.0 million from the
common trust fund at the fund's cost of $35.2 million with the difference
between purchase price and fair value reflected in the Company's Statement of
Income as a separate component of noninterest income.  The securities purchased
by the Company are reflected at its amortized cost of $26.2 million in its held
-to-maturity investment securities portfolio at June 30, 1995.  Gains on the
sale of investment securities available for sale during the second quarter of
1995 and for the first six months of the year totaled approximately $1.5
million.  In addition, during the second quarter of 1995, investment securities
held to maturity totaling $30 million were sold prior to maturity either within
three months of maturity or only after at least 85 percent of the principal
outstanding had been collected, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS115").
Gains on these sales during the quarter totaled $1.2 million.
   Noninterest expense increased $9.2 million, or 15 percent, during the second
quarter of 1995 over the same period in 1994.  For the six months ended June
30, 1995, noninterest expense increased by 17 percent to $147.2 million.
Salaries increased $4.3 million, or 16 percent, for the second quarter while
employee benefits increased $1.1 million, or 26 percent.  During the first six
months of 1995, salaries increased by $7.0 million, or 13 percent, while
employee benefits increased $2.1 million, or 22 percent.  The increase in
salaries over 1994 levels was the result of the addition of personnel in
connection with the acquisition of 22 branches of First Heights, normal
business growth, and regular merit increases.  The increase in employee
benefits was due to increased payroll tax expense and other employee benefits
associated with the First Heights acquisition as well as increased ESOP
expense.  Net occupancy expense decreased 16 percent in the second quarter of
1995 and declined 3 percent in the first six months of the year due to
increased rental income related to the Company's headquarters partially offset
by additional depreciation and occupancy expenses resulting from the
acquisition of First Heights branches. The increase in deposits during 1995
resulted in a 16 percent increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums for the
second quarter of 1995 and a 17 percent increase during the first six months of
the year.  During the first six months of 1995, other noninterest expense
increased $10.7 million, or 32 percent, due to increases in legal and other
professional services expenses associated with acquisition activities and with
a proxy contest initiated by three directors of the Company during the first
quarter of 1995.  For the second quarter of the year, noninterest expense
increased 20 percent to $21.8 million.

Income Taxes

   Income tax expense increased by $4.1 million, or 37 percent, during the
second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 and increased $4.2
million, or 17 percent, during the first six months of the year.  The effective
tax rate for the first six months of 1995 was 35 percent, up from the 33
percent effective tax rate for the same period in 1994.  The lower effective
tax rate in 1994 was due to reversal of prior period income tax accruals upon
receipt of the preliminary findings of an IRS audit.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

   The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
increased to $2.1 million from the $27,000 reported for the same period in
1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the provision for loan losses
increased 48 percent, or $1.1 million.  This increase resulted from a $1.3
million increase in net charge-offs during the first six months of 1995 as
compared to the prior year period.  Net loan charge-offs expressed as an
annualized percentage of average loans for the first two quarters of 1995 were
0.15 percent compared with 0.12 percent for the first six months of 1994.
Management considers changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio,
changes in nonperforming and past due loans, historical loan loss experience,
the existing risk of individual loans, concentrations of loans to specific
borrowers or industries and existing and prospective economic conditions when
determining the adequacy of the loan loss allowance.  The allowance for loan
losses at June 30, 1995, was $107.3 million compared to $108.3 million at
December 31, 1994.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans
outstanding was 1.74 percent at June 30, 1995, down from 1.86 percent at
December 31, 1994.

Nonperforming Assets and Past Due Loans

   Nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans and
other real estate owned, totaled $24.3 million at June 30, 1995, compared to
$19.7 million at December 31, 1994, an increase of 24 percent.  A substantial
portion of this increase was due to one commercial real estate loan totaling
$4.9 million that was placed on nonaccrual status in June, 1995.  At June 30,
1995, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was
576 percent as compared to 852 percent at December 31, 1994.  The allowance for
loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans and accruing loans ninety
days or more past due decreased from 658 percent at December 31, 1994, to 486
percent at June 30, 1995.
   Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate
owned increased to 0.39 percent at June 30, 1995, from 0.34 percent at December
31, 1994.  The amount carried in other repossessed assets at June 30, 1995, was
$96,000, down from $235,000 at December 31, 1994.  Loans past due ninety days
or more but still accruing interest decreased over 7 percent from the $3.7
million at December 31, 1994, to $3.5 million at June 30, 1995, representing
0.06 percent of total loans and other real estate owned.
   The Company regularly monitors selected accruing loans for which general
economic conditions or changes within a particular industry could cause the
borrowers financial difficulties.  This continuous monitoring of the loan
portfolio and the related identification of loans with a high degree of credit
risk are essential parts of the Company's credit management.  Management
continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of nonperforming assets and
returning current nonperforming assets to an earning status.

                              Financial Condition

Overview

   Total assets at June 30, 1995, were $9.7 billion, up 4 percent from December
31, 1994.  This increase was due principally to a six percent increase in
loans.  Retained earnings remained the primary source of growth for the
Company's capital base.

Assets and Funding

   At June 30, 1995, earning assets totaled $8.9 billion, an increase of 4
percent from December 31, 1994.  The mix of earning assets shifted moderately
in the first six months of 1995 with a significant portion of the increase in
earning assets attributable to the growth in loans while total investment
securities decreased slightly.  Loans comprised 70 percent of total earning
assets at June 30, 1995, as compared to 68 percent at December 31, 1994, while
the percentage of earning assets represented by total investment securities
decreased from 30 percent to 29 percent.  Trading account securities increased
$14.4 million, or 25 percent, and federal funds sold and securities purchased
under agreements to resell increased $13.7 million.
   A $93.7 million increase in interest bearing deposits during the second
quarter of 1995 was more than offset by a $128.4 million decrease in
noninterest bearing deposits.  During the second quarter of 1995, the mix of
short-term liabilities moved toward federal funds purchased and securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings.  At June 30,
1995, deposits accounted for 74 percent of the Company's funding, down from 78
percent at year end.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $30.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.  For the first two quarters of 1995, net cash used
by investing activities of $355.5 million consisted of proceeds from maturities
of investment securities of $122.5 million, proceeds from maturities of
securities available for sale of $55.1 million, and proceeds from sales of
securities available for sale of $358.6 million with cash outflows of $535.3
million in purchases of investment securities available for sale, a $357.7
million increase in loans outstanding, and an increase of $13.7 million in
federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell.  Also
included in investing cash inflows were $30.0 million in proceeds from the sale
of held-to-maturity investment securities that are permitted under FAS115.
FAS115 allows such sales if the sale of securities occurs near enough to the
maturity date that interest rate risk is substantially eliminated or the sale
of securities occurs after a substantial portion of the principal outstanding
at acquisition has been received.  Net cash provided by financing activities of
$321.4 million consisted of the payment of $21.3 million in common stock
dividends as well as decreases in securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and demand deposits, NOW accounts and savings accounts funded in
part by increases in time deposits, federal funds purchased, and other short-
term borrowings.
   Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1995, was 6.76 percent of total
assets compared to 6.60 percent at December 31, 1994.  The increase since year-
end 1994 reflects the seven percent increase in shareholders' equity in
contrast to the four percent increase in total assets.  The growth in
shareholders' equity consisted of earnings retained after payment of dividends
on common stock coupled with the decrease in the net unrealized holding loss on
available-for-sale securities.  The change in the unrealized holding loss in
the Company's available-for-sale portfolio from December 31, 1994, to June 30,
1995, of $8.8 million has been reflected as additional shareholders' equity.
   The leverage ratio, defined as period-end common equity adjusted for
goodwill divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for goodwill, was 6.73
percent at June 30, 1995, and 6.62 percent at December 31, 1994.  Similarly,
the Company's tangible leverage ratio, defined as period-end common equity
adjusted for all intangibles divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for
all intangibles, increased from 6.37 at December 31, 1994, to 6.51 at June 30,
1995.
   Tier I capital and total qualifying capital (Tier I capital plus Tier II
capital), as defined by regulatory agencies, as of June 30, 1995, exceeded the
target ratios of 6.00 percent and 10.00 percent, respectively, under current
regulations.  The Tier I and total qualifying capital ratios at June 30, 1995,
were 9.69 percent and 12.88 percent, respectively.  Tier II capital includes
supplemental capital components such as qualifying allowances for loan losses,
certain qualifying classes of preferred stock and qualifying subordinated debt.
Increased regulatory activity in the financial industry as a whole will
continue to impact the structure of the industry; however, management does not
anticipate any negative impact on the capital resources or operations of the
Company.
