NOTE 5 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, ("FAS125").  FAS125
provides new accounting and reporting standards for sales, securitization, and
servicing of receivables and other financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities establishing new ground rules for determining whether a transfer
constitutes a sale and the determination of the resulting gain or loss. The
provisions of FAS125 are to be applied to transactions occurring after December
31, 1996, even for transfers of assets pursuant to securitization transactions
that previously were established.  The Company does not believe that the
adoption of FAS125 will have a material impact on its financial position or its
results of operations.

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                             Results of Operations

Overview

   Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, increased 8 percent to $30.6
million while net income for the first six months of 1996 increased 27 percent
to $67.4 million from the comparable prior year periods.  Net income per common
share for the second quarter increased 10 percent to $0.79 compared to the same
period in 1995 while net income per common share for the first six months of
1996 increased 27 percent to $1.71.  Net interest income increased by $7.6
million, or 9 percent, during the second quarter of 1996 and $11.9 million, or
7 percent, during the first six months of the year. Noninterest income and
noninterest expense increased 3 percent in the second quarter of 1996 while for
the first six months of 1996, noninterest income and noninterest expense
increased 28 percent and 1 percent, respectively.
   In February, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Flower Mound
Bancshares, Inc. ("Flower Mound"), of Dallas, Texas, and its bank subsidiary,
Security Bank, for 342,930 shares of the Company's common stock.  In April, 
1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Equitable BankShares, Inc. 
("Equitable"), of Dallas, Texas, and its bank subsidiary, Equitable Bank, for 
954,962 shares of the Company's common stock.  The acquisition of Flower Mound 
and Equitable were accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of 
accounting and accordingly the financial statements have been restated for all 
periods to reflect the acquisitions. A complete list of acquisitions is 
included in "Acquisitions" and "Pending Acquisitions" under Item 1 - Business
in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K.

Net Interest Income

   Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996, increased $7.6
million over the second quarter of 1995 to $96.4 million.  On a tax-equivalent
basis, net interest income increased $7.1 million, or 8 percent.  This increase
was a result of a $14.0 million, or 8 percent, increase in interest income on a
tax-equivalent basis and a $7.0 million, or 7 percent, increase in interest
expense.  The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average
earning assets of $1.0 billion which more than offset a decrease in the average
yield on earning assets from 8.36 percent to 8.10 percent.  The largest portion
of the increase in earning assets occurred in the average balances of loans and
investment securities.  This increase in the average balance of loans and
investment securities was funded by increases in most categories of interest
bearing liabilities, specifically a $630 million increase in savings deposits
and a $123 million increase in FHLB and other borrowings.
   Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996, increased by $7.0
million, or 7 percent, from the prior year, due principally to a 15 percent
increase in average interest bearing deposits partially offset by a 12 basis
point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits. Additionally, the average
balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings increased 25 percent due to
additional net FHLB advances of $175 million in the last half of 1995 while the
average balances of federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase decreased by $105 million.
   For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net interest income increased $11.9
million, or 7 percent, over the prior year period to $189.9 million.  On a tax-
equivalent basis, net interest income increased $11.2 million, or 6 percent.  A
decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 8.32 percent to 8.16
percent was more than offset by an increase in average earning assets of $895
million resulting in a $30.4 million, or 8 percent, increase in interest
income.  As noted above, growth in the average balance of deposits and FHLB and
other borrowings funded the increase in loans and investment securities.
   Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996, increased by $19.2
million, or 11 percent, from the prior year as the average balance of interest
bearing liabilities, primarily interest bearing deposits, increased by 11
percent while the average rate paid on liabilities decreased 2 basis points.
The decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities resulted
from a 7 basis point increase in the rate paid on deposits which was more than
offset by a 35 basis point decrease in the rate paid on all other categories of
borrowings.  The average balances of federal funds purchased and securities
sold under agreements to repurchase decreased 3 percent while the average
balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by 25 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 1996, the net interest
margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.99 percent compared to 4.16 percent
for the same period in 1995.  This 17 basis point decrease resulted from the
changes in rates and volumes of earning assets and the corresponding funding
sources noted previously.  While the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities
declined 2 basis points, the yield on interest earning assets decreased 16
basis points, including a 13 basis point decrease in the yield on loans. The
impact of this decline on net interest margin was partially mitigated by a five
percent increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing demand deposits.
During the first six months of 1996, 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 2 basis points
during the six months ended June 30, 1995, the use of interest rate contracts
increased the Company's net interest margin by only 1 basis point during the
same period in 1996.
   For the second quarter of 1996, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent
basis, was 3.97 percent compared to 4.09 percent for the same period in 1995.
A decrease in the average rate earned on interest earning assets from 8.36
percent to 8.10 percent was the major contributor to the decline in the net
interest margin.  The impact of the 26 basis point decrease in the average rate
earned on interest earning assets was partially offset by a 20 basis point
decrease in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 5.05 percent to 4.85
percent.   During the second quarter of 1996, 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 three basis points as 
compared to a positive impact of two basis points for the same period in 1995.
   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, 1996, as compared to comparable periods of 1995 (in
thousands):

million, or 28 percent, to $76.9 million.  An increase of $3.8 million in
investment securities gains, along with a $2.3 million gain on branch sales in
the first quarter of the year, represented the majority of the increase.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1996 increased $900,000, or 3
percent, over the same period in 1995.  Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $900,000, or 6 percent, while trading account profits and commissions
increased $300,000 during the second quarter of 1996. During the first six
months of the year, service charges on deposit accounts increased $2.0 million,
or 8 percent, and trading account profits and commissions increased $500,000.
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 in the first six months of 1996 was due to increased customer sales
activity in the first quarter which declined during the second quarter of the
year.  It should be noted that changes in the trading account profits 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 first
six months of 1996, trading account profits related specifically to derivative
securities were approximately $115,000, consisting of $15,000 of losses related
to collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") held in the trading account
offset by $130,000 of profits on non-CMO derivative securities, specifically
options, futures, and interest rate swaps, caps, and floors.  Other noninterest
income increased 27 percent during the second quarter of 1996 and 40 percent 
during the first six months of the year due to increased credit card fee income
and increased annuity and mutual fund sales income.
   The components of trading account assets at June 30, 1996, and December 31,
1995, are presented in the following table.

   Noninterest expense increased $2.6 million, or 3 percent, during the second
quarter of 1996 over the same period in 1995.  For the six months ended June
30, 1996, noninterest expense increased by 1 percent to $153.4 million.
Salaries increased $3.3 million, or 10 percent, for the second quarter while
employee benefits increased $1.3 million, or 22 percent.  During the first six
months of 1996, salaries increased by $5.7 million, or 9 percent, while
employee benefits increased $1.6 million, or 13 percent.  The increase in
salaries over 1995 levels was the result of business combinations completed
during the second quarter as well as 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 acquisitions as well as
increased ESOP expense.  Net occupancy expense increased 20 percent in the
second quarter of 1996 and 7 percent in the first six months of the year due to
decreased rental income related to the Company's headquarters and additional
depreciation expense. FDIC insurance premiums decreased 76 percent in the
second quarter and 80 percent in the first six months from the prior year.  The
decrease is due to a substantial decrease in the insurance premium rates that
became effective in June, 1995.  During the first six months of 1996, other
noninterest expense decreased $300,000, or 1 percent, due to the absence of
legal and other professional services expenses associated 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 2 percent to
$23.0 million.
   During 1995 and 1996, Congress has considered various proposals for a one-
time special assessment to be charged on all SAIF deposits to fully capitalize
the SAIF at 1.25 percent of insured deposits.  The proposed amount of the
special assessment has been as high as $0.85 per $100 of SAIF deposits.
Assuming that a special assessment were applied at the $0.85 rate based upon
SAIF insured deposits at June 30, 1996, the Company would incur additional
deposit insurance premium expense of approximately $8.4 million which would be
charged against current period income.  The timing and amount of such an
assessment cannot be accurately predicted at this time.
   
Income Taxes

   Income tax expense increased by $1.1 million, or 7 percent, during the
second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 and increased $8.7
million, or 30 percent, during the first six months of the year.  The effective
tax rate for the first six months of 1996 was 36 percent, up from the 35
percent effective tax rate for the same period in 1995.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

   The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1996,
increased to $4.9 million from the $2.3 million reported for the same period in
1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the provision for loan losses
increased $4.6 million.  This increase resulted from a $3.5 million increase
in net charge-offs during the first six months of 1996 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 1996 were 0.25 percent compared
with 0.16 percent for the first six months of 1995.  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, 1996, was $115 million compared to $110 million at December 31, 1995.  The
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding was 1.69 percent at
June 30, 1996, down from 1.70 percent at December 31, 1995.

Nonperforming Assets and Past Due Loans

   Nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans and
other real estate owned, totaled $30.3 million at June 30, 1996, compared to
$23.1 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of 31 percent, as nonaccrual
loans increased $7.1 million, or 57 percent. This increase was due in part to
nonperforming assets acquired in acquisitions completed during the second
quarter of 1996.  At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of nonperforming loans was 565 percent as compared to 816 percent at
December 31, 1995.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
nonperforming loans and accruing loans ninety days or more past due decreased
from 591 percent at December 31, 1995, to 455 percent at June 30, 1996.
   Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate
owned increased to 0.30 percent at June 30, 1996, from 0.21 percent at December
31, 1995.  The amount recorded in other repossessed assets at June 30, 1996,
was $400,000, down from $500,000 at December 31, 1995.  Loans past due ninety
days or more but still accruing interest decreased 4 percent from $5.2 million
at December 31, 1995, to $4.9 million at June 30, 1996, representing 0.07
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, 1996, were $10.8 billion, up 3 percent from
December 31, 1995.  This increase was due principally to a 6 percent increase
in loans.  Retained earnings remained the primary source of growth for the
Company's capital base offset by the repurchase of $47 million of treasury
stock to be used in the acquisition of CFB Bancorp, Inc. which is expected to
close in the third quarter.

Assets and Funding

   At June 30, 1996, earning assets totaled $9.9 billion, up from $9.7 billion
at December 31, 1995, an increase of 3 percent.  The mix of earning assets
shifted moderately toward loans in the first six months of 1996 with loans
comprising 69 percent of total earning assets at June 30, 1996, up from 67
percent at December 31, 1995, while the percentage of earning assets
represented by total investment securities remained unchanged at 29 percent.
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
decreased $200 million, or 74 percent.
   A $763 million increase in interest bearing deposits during the first six
months of 1996 was partially offset by a $545 million decrease in federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase while other
short-term borrowings increased $63 million.  At June 30, 1996, deposits
accounted for 81 percent of the Company's funding, up from 76 percent at year
end.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $70.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  For the first six months of 1996, net cash used by
investing activities of $26.9 million consisted of proceeds from maturities of
investment securities of $110.0 million, proceeds from maturities of securities
available for sale of $312.9 million, proceeds from sales of securities
available for sale of $439.4 million and a decrease in federal funds sold and
securities purchased under agreements to resell of $249.1 million.  Cash
outflows consisted of $876.7 million in purchases of investment securities
available for sale, a $120.1 million increase in loans outstanding, $73.6
million paid in the acquisition of banks and $46.5 million paid in the sale of
branches. Net cash used by financing activities of $82.5 million consisted of
the payment of $24.6 million in common stock dividends and the repurchase of
treasury stock as well as decreases in securities sold under agreements to
repurchase and federal funds purchased, funded in part by additional FHLB
advances of $25.0 million as well as increases in deposits and other short-term
borrowings.
   Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1996, was 6.51 percent of total
assets compared to 6.87 percent at December 31, 1995, due to the repurchase of
treasury stock and the increase in the net unrealized holding loss on available
- -for-sale securities partially offset by earnings retained after payment of
dividends on common stock.  The change in the unrealized holding loss in the
Company's available-for-sale portfolio from December 31, 1995, to June 30,
1996, of $20.8 million has been reflected as a reduction of shareholders'
equity.  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company issued restricted stock
to certain executive officers that vests ratably over the next five years.  Due
to the fact that the restricted stock is considered issued and outstanding and
is reflected in common stock and surplus, shareholders' equity has been reduced
by the unvested portion of the stock granted, as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
   The leverage ratio, defined as period-end common equity adjusted for
goodwill divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for goodwill, was 6.04 
percent at June 30, 1996 and 6.74 percent at December 31, 1995.  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, decreased from 6.55 percent at December 31, 1995 to 5.86 
percent at June 30, 1996.
   Tier I capital and total qualifying capital (Tier I capital plus Tier II 
capital), as defined by regulatory agencies, as of June 30, 1996, 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, 1996,
were 8.58 percent and 11.51 percent, respectively, compared to 9.90 percent 
and 13.00 percent at December 31, 1995.  The decrease in all capital ratios 
from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996 was due to the $47 million in treasury
stock repurchased by the Company in April, 1996, and the additional goodwill 
and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of 
Peoples Bancshares, Inc. and Post Oak Bank.  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.
