First Financial Bankshares, Inc., a Texas corporation ("First Financial" or
the "Company"), hereby offers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal (the "Letter
of Transmittal," and together with this Prospectus, the "Exchange Offer"), to
exchange shares of its voting common stock, par value $10.00 per share ("First
Financial Common Stock"), which have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to a Registration Statement
(as defined herein) of which this Prospectus is a part, for all of the issued
and outstanding shares of stock of Concho Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation
("Concho"), par value $0.50 per share ("Concho Common Stock"). Upon
consummation of the Exchange Offer, each outstanding share of Concho Common
Stock tendered in the Exchange Offer will, subject to certain provisions with
respect to fractional shares, be exchanged (the "Exchange") for 1.15 shares of
First Financial Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, First Financial
will accept for exchange all shares of Concho Common Stock that are validly
tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., Texas time, on the date the Exchange Offer
expires, which will be March 10, 1994 (the "Expiration Date"), unless the

the Exchange Offer, they may not be withdrawn. The Exchange Offer is subject to
certain conditions, including a condition that at least 90% of the outstanding
Concho Common Stock be tendered in the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange
Offer--Conditions to Consummation of the Exchange Offer; Termination."
Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, it is anticipated that Concho will be
merged (the "Merger") with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Financial
and that any remaining Concho Shareholders will receive in the Merger the same
consideration they would have received had they participated in the Exchange
Offer, subject to their rights to dissent to the Merger. This Prospectus also
relates to the shares of First Financial Common Stock that may be issued in the
Merger.
Prior to the Exchange Offer, there has been no public market for the Concho
Common Stock. The First Financial Common Stock is traded in the

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this
Prospectus. As this summary is necessarily incomplete, reference is made to,
and this summary is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information
contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and the Annexes
hereto. Shareholders of Concho are urged to read the Prospectus and the Annexes
hereto in their entirety.
THE PARTIES
The Company is a Texas corporation and a multi-bank holding company registered
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). On October
28, 1993, the Company changed its name from "First Abilene Bankshares, Inc." to
"First Financial Bankshares, Inc." First Financial owns, through its
wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc.,
all of the capital stock of six banks organized and located in Texas: First
National Bank of Abilene, Abilene, Texas; Hereford State Bank, Hereford, Texas;
First National Bank, Sweetwater, Texas; Eastland National Bank, Eastland, Texas;
The First National Bank in Cleburne, Cleburne, Texas; and Stephenville Bank and
Trust Co., Stephenville, Texas (collectively, the "First Financial Banks").
First Financial operates principally in order to give the First Financial Banks
access to additional management and technical resources which enable them to
provide expanded banking services while continuing their local activity and
autonomy. The First Financial Banks are engaged in the general commercial
banking business consisting of the acceptance of checking, savings and time
deposits, the making of loans, including bank credit card services, transmitting
funds and performing such other banking services as are usual and customary for
commercial banks. While all First Financial Banks, with the exception of
Eastland National Bank, have trust powers, only First National Bank of Abilene,
First National Bank, Sweetwater and Stephenville Bank and Trust Co. have active
trust departments. As of September 30, 1993, First Financial and its
consolidated subsidiaries had total assets of approximately $906.8 million,
total deposits of approximately $809.1 million, total loans (net of allowance
for loan losses) of approximately $359.1 million and total shareholders' equity
of approximately $88.7 million. First Financial's principal executive offices
are located at 400 Pine Street, Abilene, Texas 79601, and its telephone number
is (915) 675-7155. See "Information About First Financial."
Concho Bancshares, Inc. ("Concho") is a one bank holding company formed in
1979 and incorporated in the State of Texas. Concho owns all of the capital
stock of Southwest Bank of San Angelo, Texas ("Southwest Bank" or "SWB").
Southwest Bank is chartered in the State of Texas, began operations in 1975, and
its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Southwest
Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, SWB Investment Centre, Inc. ("SWB Investment"),
operates as a registered investment advisor. Southwest Bank conducts business
principally in Tom Green County through its location in San Angelo, Texas. The
market area of SWB Investment is also Tom Green County, with a small amount
derived from other area counties. Southwest Bank provides a full range of both
commercial and consumer banking services including loans, checking accounts,
savings programs, safe deposit facilities, access to automated teller machines,
and credit card programs. The bank does not offer trust services. SWB Investment
offers investment advice to customers who may execute trades with the bank
through its discount brokerage operation or through its affiliation with
Stephens, Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas. As of September 30, 1993, as adjusted
to reflect the rescission in November 1993 of an earlier treasury stock purchase
by Concho of 16,267 shares of Concho Common Stock for $344,860, Concho and its
consolidated subsidiaries had total assets of approximately $89.5 million, total
deposits of approximately $80.9 million, total loans (net of allowance for loan
losses) of approximately $43.4 million and total shareholders' equity of
approximately $6.2 million. Concho's principal executive offices are located at
3471 Knickerbocker, San Angelo, Texas 76906-0410 and its telephone number is
(915) 944-2502. See "Information about Concho".

SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION
THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
December 7, 1993 by and among First Financial, Concho and Southwest Bank (the
"Exchange Agreement"), First Financial is offering to acquire from the
shareholders of Concho (the "Concho Shareholders") all outstanding shares of
Concho Common Stock in exchange for shares of First Financial Common Stock at
the exchange rate specified below. THE CONCHO BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DETERMINED
THAT THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS FAIR TO THE CONCHO SHAREHOLDERS. See "The Exchange
Offer."
THE EXCHANGE RATE
First Financial will issue and exchange 1.15 shares of First Financial Common
Stock for each share of Concho Common Stock tendered by the Concho Shareholders
who accept the Exchange Offer during the time period the Exchange Offer is in
effect (the "Exchange Rate"). See "The Exchange Offer -- The Exchange Rate."
First Financial will not issue any fractional shares of First Financial Common
Stock. Concho Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
shares of First Financial Common Stock will be paid in cash for such fractional
shares based upon the Market Value (as defined herein) per share of First
Financial Common Stock as of January 28, 1994, the date which is ten days
prior to the date upon which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part became effective. As of such date, the Market Value per share of
First Financial Common Stock was $41.50.
THE EXPIRATION DATE
Unless otherwise extended by First Financial, the offer by First Financial to
exchange First Financial Common Stock for Concho Common Stock shall terminate at
5:00 p.m., Texas time on March 10, 1994 (the "Expiration Date").
CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER; TERMINATION
Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions, including
without limitation, the valid tender by Concho Shareholders of at least ninety
percent (90%) of Concho Common Stock; the receipt of all required regulatory
approvals and the lapse of certain waiting periods with respect to such
approvals; the receipt by First Financial of an opinion from its independent
accountants that the transaction will be accounted for as a "pooling of
interests"; the receipt by Concho of an opinion from its independent public
accountants and/or tax counsel that the Exchange will not be considered a
taxable event for federal income tax purposes; the receipt by Concho of the
written agreement of the holders of thirteen promissory notes issued by Concho
of such holders' willingness to consent to the transfer of such obligations and
certain collateral securing them to Southwest Bank; the receipt of opinion of
counsel as to certain corporate matters; the absence of material changes in the
financial condition of either Concho or Southwest Bank; and the absence of legal
or governmental action with respect to the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer may be terminated at any time (a) by mutual consent of
First Financial and Concho, (b) by either party if the other party shall have
breached a representation or warranty which constitutes a material adverse
change from that represented in the Exchange Agreement or if any of the
conditions to consummating the Exchange Offer are not satisfied or waived, or
(c) by either party if a court or governmental body shall have taken any action
restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Exchange or the Merger
6
<PAGE>
(as defined herein) and such action shall be final and nonappealable. If the
Exchange Offer is terminated without the acceptance by First Financial of any
shares of Concho Common Stock tendered, all shares so tendered will be promptly
returned to the tendering Concho Shareholders. See "The Exchange Offer
- -Conditions to Consummation of the Exchange; Termination."
EXCHANGE OF SHARES AND CERTIFICATES
The Concho Shareholders are receiving with this Prospectus a letter of
transmittal for acceptance of the Exchange Offer (the "Letter of Transmittal").
Each Concho Shareholder wishing to accept the Exchange Offer must complete, sign
and date the Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, in accordance with
the instructions contained herein and therein, and mail or otherwise deliver the
Letter of Transmittal, or such facsimile, together with the certificates
reflecting ownership of Concho Common Stock (the "Concho Common Stock
Certificates") to be exchanged and any other required documentation to the
Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein and therein. The delivery of the
Letter of Transmittal with the Concho Common Stock Certificates shall be deemed
to constitute an acceptance of the Exchange Offer to the extent of the number of
shares of Concho Common Stock reflected on the Concho Common Stock Certificates
accompanying the Letter of Transmittal.
Upon expiration of the Exchange Offer and satisfaction of certain conditions
to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, if First Financial receives written
notice from the Exchange Agent that at least ninety percent (90%) of the
outstanding shares of Concho Common Stock have been validly tendered to First
Financial, then First Financial will promptly cause to be issued and mailed to
Concho Shareholders who have tendered shares of Concho Common Stock, by
registered mail, certificates of First Financial Common Stock ("First Financial
Common Stock Certificates") representing 1.15 shares of First Financial Common
Stock for each share of Concho Common Stock received by the Exchange Agent. Any
cash payment to which a Concho Shareholder may be entitled in place of
fractional shares of First Financial Common Stock will be included with the
First Financial Common Stock Certificates mailed to the Concho Shareholders.
Any beneficial holder whose shares of Concho Common Stock are registered in
the name of such holder's broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee and who wishes to tender in the Exchange Offer should contact the
registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on his
or her behalf. If such beneficial holder wishes to tender on his or her own
behalf, such beneficial holder must, prior to completing and executing the
Letter of Transmittal and delivering the Concho Common Stock Certificates,
either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the shares of
Concho Common Stock in such holder's name or obtain a properly completed stock
power from the registered holder. The transfer of record ownership may take
considerable time. See "The Exchange Offer - Exchange of Shares and
Certificates."
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES
Concho Shareholders who wish to tender their shares of Concho Common Stock and
whose Concho Common Stock Certificates are not immediately available or who
cannot deliver their Concho Common Stock Certificates and a properly completed
Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date may tender their
shares of Concho Common Stock according to the guaranteed delivery procedures
set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

<PAGE>
NO WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS
Shares tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may not be withdrawn.
THE EXCHANGE AGENT
The Exchange Agent for purposes of the Exchange Offer discussed herein shall
be the Trust Department of First National Bank of Abilene, Third Floor, 400 Pine
Street, Abilene, Texas 79601.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned on receipt by Concho of a
written opinion from its independent accountants and/or tax counsel that the
exchange of shares of Concho Common Stock will not be considered a taxable event
for federal income tax purposes. Concho has received an opinion to such effect
from its independent accountants, Armstrong, Backus & Co., L.L.P. A copy of
their opinion, which is subject to certain qualifications and assumptions, is
attached hereto as Annex A. See "The Exchange Offer -- Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
ANTICIPATED MERGER AND DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS
First Financial anticipates that, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer,
Concho will be merged (the "Merger") with and into a wholly-owned Delaware
subsidiary of the Company with any remaining Concho Shareholders receiving in
the Merger the same consideration they would have received had they participated
in the Exchange Offer, subject to their rights to dissent from the Merger. See
"The Exchange Offer --Anticipated Merger and Dissenting Shareholders' Rights."
REGULATORY APPROVALS
The Exchange Offer and Merger are subject to prior approval by the Federal
Reserve Board. The approval of the Federal Reserve Board has been obtained. See
"The Exchange Offer--Regulatory Approvals Required."
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE EXCHANGE
As of December 15, 1993, the directors and executive officers of Concho
beneficially owned 49,465 shares of Concho Common Stock, representing
approximately 25% of Concho Common Stock outstanding. See "Information about
Concho--Security Ownership of Management."

SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA
The following tables present on a historical basis selected consolidated
financial data for (i) First Financial, (ii) Concho, and (iii) combined pro
forma data for First Financial and Concho. The financial data are based on the
consolidated financial statements of First Financial and Concho, respectively,
incorporated herein by reference or contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and
should be read in conjunction with the applicable financial statements,
including the notes thereto. As noted in the tables, certain historical
financial data for Concho for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 have been
adjusted to reflect the rescission in November 1993 of an earlier treasury stock
purchase by Concho of 16,267 shares of Concho Common Stock. The pro forma data
give effect to the Exchange and the Merger, in each case accounted for as a
pooling of interests and based upon a conversion of each share of Concho Common
Stock into 1.15 shares of First Financial Common Stock. All per share data of
First Financial have been adjusted to reflect the ten percent (10%) stock
dividend paid to First Financial shareholders in the second quarter of 1993.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results of operations or
financial position that would have been reported had the Exchange or the Merger,
as the case may be, been completed at the beginning of the period or as of the
date for which such unaudited pro forma information is presented, nor is such
information indicative of future results of operations or financial position.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The information in this Prospectus concerning the terms of the Exchange Offer
is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange
Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference.
GENERAL
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, First Financial is offering to acquire
from the Concho Shareholders all of the issued and outstanding Concho Common
Stock. In exchange for each share of Concho Common Stock, the Concho
Shareholders shall receive 1.15 shares of First Financial Common Stock, unless
certain conditions require adjustments to the Exchange Rate. See "-- The
Exchange Rate."
At least ninety percent (90%) of the Concho Common Stock must be tendered by
the Concho Shareholders in order for the Exchange to occur. The Exchange Offer
is also subject to certain other conditions. See "-- Conditions to Consummation
of the Exchange Offer."
BACKGROUND OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Southwest Bank is a correspondent bank customer of First National Bank of
Abilene. Through that relationship, Mr. Kenneth Murphy, the Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of First Financial, visited with Mr. David Drake,
the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concho, in December 1992 to obtain
information about the brokerage operation at Southwest Bank. Southwest Bank
provided brokerage services through an arrangement with the Stephens Co., and
First Financial was considering establishing a similar operation. Over the next
several months there were additional discussions about brokerage services. First
Financial had been interested in the San Angelo market for several years and
during a visit on April 30, 1993, Mr. Murphy asked Mr. Drake if Concho would
have any interest in discussing the possibility of becoming associated with
First Financial.
Following several telephone discussions, Mr. Murphy and Curtis Harvey,
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of First Financial, met
with Concho's Executive Committee on June 1, 1993. During the meeting Mr. Murphy
stated that First Financial considered Southwest Bank an attractive acquisition
candidate and inquired as to whether Concho would be interested in entertaining
an offer. Prior to the approach by First Financial, the Board of Directors of
Concho had adopted and was following a strategic business plan that called for
growth primarily through internal means. The plan included the possibility of
Concho acquiring other banks, but did not contemplate Concho being acquired. In
light of First Financial's indication of interest, Concho's Executive Committee
decided to proceed with further discussions.
Messrs. Murphy and Harvey met with the Concho Executive Committee again on
June 22, 1993. During the meeting Mr. Murphy presented various alternative
initial proposals for structuring an acquisition of Concho by First Financial,
including a one-for-one stock exchange. Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Drake
contacted Mr. Murphy and informed him that Concho would entertain an offer which
included a stock exchange valued at 1.5 times Concho book value. Messrs. Murphy
and Harvey met with Mr. Drake in San Angelo on July 12, 1993, to discuss further
the possible offer by First Financial.
The Concho Board of Directors held several meetings in late July and early
August to discuss the possible transaction and ultimately concluded, with the
assistance of its outside advisors, that an exchange offer valued at 1.5 times
Concho's book value was fair. In reaching its conclusion, the Concho Board of
Directors relied in part on the advice of its financial consulting firm, FinSer
Corporation, which evaluated the financial condition of First Financial and the
relative benefits of the offer to Concho Shareholders. FinSer Corporation
informally advised the Concho Board that, in its opinion, the offer was fair and
reasonable in light of current market conditions.
15
<PAGE>
On August 17, 1993, First Financial and Concho executed a Letter of Intent
which contemplated a stock exchange ratio of 1.2 shares of First Financial stock
for each share of Concho stock. During the period August 19, 1993, through
September 24, 1993, First Financial performed a due diligence review at
Southwest Bank and the parties began negotiating a definitive agreement.
Following execution of the Letter of Intent, Concho informed First Financial
that a former stockholder of Concho had asserted a claim against Concho with
respect to Concho's purchase in May 1993 of 16,267 shares of Concho Common Stock
from such former stockholder. On November 29, 1993, Concho and the former
stockholder resolved the matter by rescinding the May 1993 stock purchase. As a
result of the additional shares outstanding following the rescission, First
Financial and Concho agreed to adjust the exchange ratio from 1.2 to 1.15, and
First Financial and Concho executed the Stock Exchange Agreement on December 7,
1993. In agreeing to the adjustment in the exchange ratio, the Concho Board of
Directors noted that since the date of execution of the Letter of Intent, the
market value of First Financial Common Stock had increased approximately $2.00
per share based on the NASDAQ quoted bid price. The Concho Board considered
this increase and the fact that the exchange ratio is 1.5 times the book value
of Concho in approving the Stock Exchange Agreement. For these and other reasons
described below, the Concho Board believed it was in the best interest of the
Concho Shareholders to have the opportunity to accept or reject the Exchange
Offer.
In early February 1994, Mr. Tim Turner, who is a director of Concho and owner
of 232 shares of Concho Common Stock, together with his wife sent a letter
to other Concho Shareholders informing them that they oppose the Exchange Offer
and requesting Concho Shareholders not to tender their shares to First
Financial. The Turners stated that they opposed the Exchange Offer primarily
because Concho would lose its independent status which, they believe, is the
primary reason for Concho's success.
On February 7, 1994, the Board of Directors of Concho met to discuss the
Turners' concerns. The Board of Directors reviewed the due diligence it had
conducted with respect to First Financial and its other subsidiary banks and
also First Financial's plans to leave Southwest Bank's existing Board
substantially intact and to retain the existing officers and staff of Southwest
Bank. See "The Exchange Offer--Operations After the Exchange Offer and Merger."
The Board of Directors concluded that it was satisfied that although Concho
would become part of a larger holding company, it would retain sufficient local
control and involvement so as to maintain its community bank character.
FIRST FINANCIAL REASONS FOR THE EXCHANGE OFFER
It is part of First Financial's current business strategy to expand its
activities to areas in Texas where management believes there are long-term
opportunities that will benefit First Financial and its shareholders. First
Financial recently acquired two other community banks which has enabled First
Financial to increase its penetration of the Texas banking markets. The
acquisition of Concho will allow First Financial to continue its expansion and
enter the San Angelo market which is larger than those served by recent
acquisitions, thereby providing even greater asset and earnings growth
opportunities.
First Financial also views favorably the perceived compatibility of the Concho
management team with management of First Financial and its demonstrated success
in providing quality banking services.
In addition, First Financial believes that in light of the acceleration in the
number and size of combinations currently occurring within the financial and
banking industries and the likelihood that future changes in banking laws will
provide further impetus to consolidation of banking entities, it is desirable
for First Financial to continue to grow through acquisition of quality community
banks in favorable markets.
CONCHO REASONS FOR THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The terms of the Exchange Offer, including the Exchange Rate, were the result
of arms' length negotiations between First Financial and Concho and their
respective representatives. Concho consulted with its own legal counsel and
financial advisors during the course of negotiations. The Concho Board of
Directors believes that the Exchange Offer is fair to the shareholders of
Concho. In reaching a conclusion to approve the Exchange Offer, Concho's Board
of Directors considered a number of factors. Concho's Board of Directors did not
assign any relative or specific weights to the factors considered. Among other
things, the Concho Board of Directors considered:
1. The financial terms of the Exchange Offer. In this regard, Concho's Board of
-----------------------------------------
Directors took into account the premium represented by the consideration
offered to Concho Shareholders in relation to the book value per share of
Concho's Common Stock. Concho's Board of Directors was of the view that the
Exchange Rate represented a fair multiple of Concho's per share book value
and historical and projected earnings. Concho's Board of Directors also
considered the financial terms of other recent business combinations
16
<PAGE>
in the banking industry and determined that the financial terms of the
Exchange Offer compared favorably to such other transactions;
2. Certain financial and other information concerning First Financial. Such
------------------------------------------------------------------
information included, but was not limited to, the financial condition, asset
quality, historical earnings and historical operations of First Financial
Common Stock and the dividend yield of First Financial Common Stock;
3. The terms, other than the financial terms, and structure of the Exchange
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offer. In particular, the Concho Board of Directors considered the
-----
anticipated tax-free nature of the Exchange Offer to Concho Shareholders
receiving First Financial Common Stock in exchange for the shares of Concho
Common Stock.
In addition to the above factors, the proposed Exchange Offer and Merger
reflect the judgment of the Board of Directors of Concho that Concho's business
can be benefitted by the resources and experience of First Financial, that the
Exchange Offer and Merger may produce an entity better able to meet competitive
challenges inherent in the banking industry, and that the affiliation of First
Financial and Concho could provide operational benefits and efficiencies. The
Concho Board of Directors believes that the Exchange Offer would allow
shareholders of Concho to exchange their shares for a security in a company
which has a broader market appeal and thus a more liquid investment. In
addition, while Concho has been in the position to pay cash dividends to Concho
Shareholders during the past several years at the rate of $.25 per annum, First
Financial has declared cash dividends per share of $1.20, $.96 and $.82 during
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Shareholders of
Concho would hold shares in a larger banking organization which would tend to
lessen the risk that local market factors in San Angelo would affect the value
of their investment. In addition, the resources of a larger banking organization
would tend to benefit Concho Shareholders as a result of its ability to compete
in the larger marketplace.
The Concho Board of Directors also believes that, if the exchange is
consummated, its subsidiary, Southwest Bank, will continue to retain its
community bank character even though it will be a subsidiary of a substantially
larger bank holding company. First Financial has grown through acquisition of
community banks, and its acquisition strategy is to allow these independent
community banks to continue to operate as such even though they are part of a
larger holding company. In this regard, it is anticipated that the existing
Board of Directors of Southwest Bank would remain essentially the same and that
the officers and staff would continue to be employed and to manage Southwest
Bank. This should enable the continuation of local control, decision making and
a presence in the community which Southwest Bank serves.
Finally, in addition to the strategic location of Southwest Bank in the San
Angelo market being a major contribution to First Financial, Southwest Bank's
subsidiary, SWB Investment Company, would be provided with an attractive
opportunity to expand its business to the customer base of First Financial and
its other subsidiary banks. This should provide an attractive growth opportunity
for Concho Shareholders.
OPERATIONS AFTER THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND MERGER
If the Exchange Offer is consummated, First Financial will own at least 90%
of the outstanding Concho Common Stock. If the subsequent Merger is consummated
as presently anticipated, Concho will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Financial. See "The Exchange Offer--Anticipated Merger and Dissenting
Shareholders' Rights."
First Financial's acquisition strategy is to allow the independent community
banks acquired by it to continue to operate with substantial autonomy even
though they are part of a larger holding company. First Financial presently
anticipates that the existing Board of Directors of Southwest Bank would remain
essentially the same other than for the additions of Messrs. Murphy and Harvey.
First Financial also intends to retain the existing officers and staff of
Southwest Bank.
THE EXCHANGE RATE
First Financial will issue and exchange 1.15 shares of First Financial Common
Stock for each share of Concho Common Stock tendered by the Concho Shareholders
who accept the Exchange Offer during the time period the Exchange Offer is in
effect; provided, however, that if First Financial, prior to the consummation of
the proposed Exchange Offer, shall issue any additional shares of First
Financial Common Stock pursuant to any stock dividend or stock split approved by
the Board of Directors of First Financial, the Exchange Rate shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend or split.
17
<PAGE>
First Financial will not issue any fractional shares of First Financial Common
Stock. Concho Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive
fractional shares of First Financial Common Stock will be paid in cash for such
fractional shares based upon the Market Value per share of First Financial
Common Stock as of the date which is ten days prior to the date upon which the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part became effective. For
purposes hereof, the "MARKET VALUE" of First Financial Common Stock means the
per share closing bid price of the First Financial Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market in accordance with quotations supplied by The Principal
- -- Eppler Guerin & Turner or other authoritative source. As of such date, the
Market Value per share of First Financial Common Stock was $ 41.50.
THE EXPIRATION DATE
Unless otherwise extended by First Financial, the Exchange Offer shall
terminate at 5:00 p.m., Texas time on March 10, 1994 (the "Expiration
Date").

EXCHANGE OF SHARES AND CERTIFICATES
A Concho Shareholder's delivery of a properly completed and executed Letter of
Transmittal and Concho Common Stock Certificates, prior to the Expiration Date,
to the Exchange Agent at the address provided herein shall be deemed to
constitute an acceptance of the Exchange Offer described in the Prospectus as to
the number of shares registered on the Concho Common Stock Certificates
surrendered.
Except as otherwise provided below, all signatures on a Letter of Transmittal
must be guaranteed by a firm which is a member of a registered national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or
by a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the
United States (an "Eligible Institution"). Signatures on a Letter of
Transmittal need not be guaranteed (a) if the Letter of Transmittal is signed by
the registered holder of the shares of Concho Common Stock tendered therewith
and such holder has not completed the box entitled "Special Exchange
Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (b) if such shares of Concho
Common Stock are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. See
Instructions 1 and 3 of the Letter of Transmittal.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF CONCHO COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES AND THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE
ELECTION AND RISK OF THE CONCHO SHAREHOLDERS. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT CONCHO SHAREHOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE.
IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
CONCHO COMMON STOCK CERTIFICATES AND LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL SHOULD BE SENT TO
THE EXCHANGE AGENT, WHICH IS THE TRUST DEPARTMENT OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
ABILENE.
If any First Financial Common Stock Certificate is to be issued in a name
other than that in which the Concho Common Stock Certificate surrendered for
exchange is registered, the certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed
or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such
exchange must pay to First Financial or the Exchange Agent any applicable
transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of the certificate.
Any beneficial holder whose shares of Concho Common Stock are registered in the
name of his or her broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered holder promptly
and instruct such registered holder to tender on his or her own behalf. If such
beneficial holder wishes to tender on his or her own behalf, such beneficial
holder must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and
delivering the Concho Common Stock Certificates, either make appropriate
arrangements to register ownership of the Concho Common Stock to be tendered in
such holder's name or obtain a properly completed stock power from the
registered holder.
If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered
holder of any Concho Common Stock listed therein, the Concho Common Stock
Certificates reflecting ownership of Concho Common Stock must be endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate stock powers which authorize such person to tender
the Concho Common Stock on behalf of the registered holder, in either case
signed as the name of the registered holder or holders appears on the Concho
Common Stock Certificates.
If the Letter of Transmittal or any Concho Common Stock Certificates or stock
powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians,
attorneys-in-fact, officers of a corporation or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such persons should indicate when signing and, unless
waived by First Financial, evidence satisfactory to First Financial of their
authority to so act must be submitted with the Letter of Transmittal.
20
<PAGE>
Upon expiration of the Exchange Offer and satisfaction of certain conditions
set forth in the Exchange Agreement, promptly after First Financial receives
written notice from the Exchange Agent indicating that at least ninety percent
(90%) of the outstanding shares of Concho Common Stock have been validly
tendered, each outstanding share of Concho Common Stock tendered to First
Financial will be exchanged for shares of First Financial Common Stock at the
Exchange Rate calculated as described under the caption "-- The Exchange Rate,"
and First Financial Common Stock Certificates reflecting the Exchange shall be
delivered to the Concho Shareholders by registered mail.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of the tendered shares of Concho Common
Stock will be determined by First Financial in its sole discretion, which
determination will be final and binding. First Financial reserves the absolute
right to reject any and all shares of Concho Common Stock not properly tendered
or any shares of Concho Common Stock First Financial's acceptance of which
would, in the opinion of counsel for First Financial, be unlawful. First
Financial reserves the absolute right to waive any irregularities or conditions
of tenders as to particular shares of Concho Common Stock. Unless waived, any
defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of shares of Concho Common
Stock must be cured within such time as First Financial shall determine.
Neither First Financial nor the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be
under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to
tenders of shares of Concho Common Stock nor shall any of them incur any
liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of shares of Concho
Common Stock will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have
been cured or waived. Any Concho Common Stock Certificates received by the
Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or
irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned without cost by
the Exchange Agent to the tendering holder of such Concho Common Stock
Certificates unless otherwise provided in the Letter of Transmittal, as soon as
practicable following the Expiration Date.
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES
Concho Shareholders who wish to tender their shares of Concho Common Stock and
(i) whose Concho Common Stock Certificates are not immediately available, or
(ii) who cannot deliver their Concho Common Stock Certificates, the Letter of
Transmittal or any other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior to the
Expiration Date, may effect a tender if:
(1) the tender is made through an Eligible Institution;
(2) prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent receives from such
Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) setting forth the
name and address of the holder of Concho Common Stock, the certificate number or
numbers of such Concho Common Stock and the amount of Concho Common Stock
tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby, and guaranteeing that,
within five (5) business days after the Expiration Date, the Letter of
Transmittal, together with the Concho Common Stock Certificates registering the
Concho Common Stock to be tendered in proper form for transfer and any other
documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, will be deposited by the
Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and
(3) such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, together with
the certificates representing all tendered Concho Common Stock in proper form
for transfer and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal are
received by the Exchange Agent within five (5) business days after the
Expiration Date.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional shares of First Financial Common Stock will be exchanged for
shares of Concho Common Stock. In lieu thereof, each Concho Shareholder having
a fractional interest resulting from the exchange of Concho Common Stock for
First Financial Common Stock will be paid by First Financial an amount in cash
21
<PAGE>
for such fractional share based upon the Market Value (as defined) per share of
First Financial Common Stock as of the date which is ten days prior to the date
upon which the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part became
effective. As of such date, the Market Value per share of First Financial Common
Stock was $41.50. Any cash payment to which a Concho Shareholder may be
entitled will be included with such Concho Shareholder's First Financial Common
Stock Certificates when such certificates are mailed to the Concho Shareholder.
NO WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS
Tenders of shares of Concho Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Offer are
irrevocable, and once such shares are tendered, they may not be withdrawn.
REGULATORY APPROVALS REQUIRED
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board") must approve First Financial's acquisition of Concho and Southwest Bank
under Section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Federal
Reserve Board has approved the acquisition.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. Federal income tax
consequences of the Exchange, including certain consequences to holders of
Concho Common Stock who are citizens or residents of the United States and who
hold their shares as capital assets. It does not discuss all tax consequences
that may be relevant to the Concho Shareholders subject to special Federal
income tax treatment (such as insurance companies, dealers in securities,
certain retirement plans, financial institutions, tax exempt organizations or
foreign persons), or to Concho Shareholders who acquired their shares of Concho
Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as
compensation. The summary does not address the state, local or foreign tax
consequences of the Exchange Offer, if any.
Concho has received an opinion from its independent public accountants,
Armstrong, Backus & Co., L.L.P., with respect to certain Federal income tax
consequences of the Exchange Offer. A copy of their opinion, which is subject to
certain qualifications and assumptions, is attached hereto as Annex A, and the
following summary of their opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference
thereto. Subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth in their
opinion, Armstrong, Backus & Co., L.L.P. are of the opinion that, for Federal
income tax purposes:
1. The Exchange and Merger will be treated as a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and
First Financial, Concho and First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc.
each will be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(b) of the Code.
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by the Concho Shareholders upon receipt
of First Financial Common Stock in exchange for their Concho Common Stock,
except for any gain or loss recognized with respect to Concho Shareholders
who receive cash in lieu of fractional share interests in First Financial
Common Stock or pursuant to the exercise of statutory dissenter rights.
3. The aggregate Federal income tax basis of the shares of First Financial
Common Stock received by the Concho Shareholders in exchange for their
shares of Concho Common Stock will be the same as the aggregate adjusted
tax basis of their Concho Common Stock exchanged therefor, less the tax
basis, if any, allocated to fractional share interests.
22
<PAGE>
4. The holding period of the First Financial Common Stock received by the
Concho Shareholders in exchange for their shares of Concho Common Stock in
the hands of the Concho Shareholders will include the holding period of
their Concho Common Stock exchanged therefor.
A Concho Shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share interest
in First Financial Common Stock will be treated as having received the cash in
redemption of the fractional share interest. The receipt of cash in lieu of a
fractional share interest should generally result in capital gain or loss to the
holder equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the
portion of the holder's Federal income tax basis in the Concho Common Stock
allocable to the fractional share interest. Such capital gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period for the First
Financial Common Stock received, determined as set forth above, is longer than
one year.
A Concho Shareholder who dissents from the Merger and receives cash in
exchange for shares of Concho Common Stock will recognize capital gain or loss
equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the holder's
Federal income tax basis in the shares. Such capital gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the shares for more than
one year as of the effective time of the merger.
THE INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND IS BASED ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (AND AUTHORITIES THEREUNDER) AS
IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS, WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF THE
PARTICULAR FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY SHAREHOLDER. CONCHO SHAREHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE IN THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS
CONSEQUENCES UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
EXCHANGE AGENT
The Trust Department of First National Bank of Abilene has been appointed as
the Exchange Agent for the Exchange. Questions and requests for additional
copies of this Prospectus should be directed to the Exchange Agent addressed as
follows:
By mail, overnight, courier or hand delivery: Trust Department
First National Bank of Abilene

For confirmation by telephone: (915) 675-7100
RESALE BY CONCHO AFFILIATES
The shares of First Financial Common Stock issuable to Concho Shareholders
upon consummation of the Exchange Offer have been registered under the
Securities Act, but such registration does not cover the resales by affiliates
of Concho ("Concho Affiliates"). First Financial Common Stock received and
beneficially owned by those Concho Shareholders who are deemed to be Concho
Affiliates may be resold without registration as provided for by Rule 145 under
the Securities Act, or as otherwise permitted. The term Concho Affiliate is
defined to include any person who, directly or indirectly, controls, or is
controlled by, or is under common control with Concho at or during the time
period covered by the Exchange Agreement. Each Concho Affiliate who desires to
resell the First Financial Common Stock must sell such First Financial Common
Stock either
23
<PAGE>
(i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;
(ii) in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 145 under the
Securities Act; or (iii) in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for
the Concho Affiliate or as described in a "no-action" or interpretive letter
from the Commission, in each case reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to First Financial, is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Rule 145(d) requires that persons deemed to be Concho
Affiliates resell their First Financial Common Stock pursuant to certain of the
requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act if such First Financial Common
Stock is sold within the first two (2) years after the receipt thereof. After
two (2) years if such person is not an affiliate of First Financial and First
Financial is current in the filing of its periodic securities law reports, a
former Concho Affiliate may freely resell the First Financial Common Stock
received in the Exchange Offer without limitation. After three (3) years from
the issuance of the First Financial Common Stock, if such person is not an
affiliate of First Financial at the time of sale and has not been so for at
least three (3) months prior to such sale, such person may freely resell such
First Financial Common Stock, without limitation, regardless of the status of
First Financial's periodic securities law reports.
Each Concho Affiliate will deliver to First Financial a written agreement to
the effect that no sale will be made of any shares of First Financial Common
Stock received in the Exchange Offer by a Concho Affiliate except (i) in
accordance with the Securities Act; and (ii) if, as it expects to do, First
Financial utilizes pooling-of-interests accounting in accounting for the
Exchange Offer, until such time as First Financial shall publish the financial
results of at least thirty (30) days of post-Exchange operations of First
Financial. The First Financial Common Stock Certificates issued to Concho
Affiliates in the Exchange Offer may contain an appropriate restrictive legend,
and appropriate stop transfer orders may be given to the Exchange Agent for such
certificates.
ANTICIPATED MERGER AND DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS
First Financial anticipates that upon consummation of the Exchange Offer,
First Financial will contribute the shares of Concho Common Stock acquired in
the Exchange Offer to First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Financial ("FFB Delaware"), and Concho will
then be merged (the "Merger") with and into FFB Delaware pursuant to Article
5.16 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA"). In the event that not
all of the outstanding Concho Common Stock is tendered for exchange in the
Exchange Offer, within ten (10) days after the effective date of the Merger, FFB
Delaware shall provide notice of the Merger to the Concho Shareholders who did
not elect to participate in the Exchange Offer. The consideration to be issued
in the Merger shall be the same as that in the Exchange Offer. A Concho
Shareholder who elects to dissent from the Merger (a "Dissenting Shareholder")
must follow specific procedures in order to perfect its dissenter's rights.
Within twenty (20) days of mailing of the notice of the Merger, the Dissenting
Shareholders must make a written demand on FFB Delaware for the fair value of
their shares of Concho Common Stock. The fair value of such shares shall be the
value thereof as of the day before the effective date of the Merger, excluding
any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Merger. The Dissenting
Shareholders must include in their demands information as to the number and
estimated fair value of shares owned by such shareholders. Any Dissenting
Shareholder who fails to make a demand within the twenty (20) day period shall
be bound by the terms and the consideration provided in the Merger.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of a Dissenting Shareholder's written demand,
FFB Delaware shall either accept such demand or reject it and make a
counter-offer as to the fair value of the Concho Common Stock. Upon the
agreement between FFB Delaware and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the fair
value of the Concho Common Stock, FFB Delaware shall pay the agreed fair value
of the shares of Concho Common Stock owned by such Dissenting Shareholder in
exchange for endorsed Concho Common Stock Certificates representing such shares.
The Dissenting Shareholder shall, at that time, cease to have any interest in
FFB Delaware. If a Dissenting Shareholder is unable to reach an agreement with
FFB Delaware as to the fair value of the Concho Common Stock, the specific
remedies provided in Article 5.16 of the TBCA for determination of fair
24
<PAGE>
value by a court of law shall be available to such shareholder. Article 5.16 of
the TBCA is attached to this Prospectus as Annex B.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
First Financial expects to account for the Exchange as a pooling-of-interests
and expects to receive the written opinion of Arthur Andersen & Co. that it is
appropriate to do so.
CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal
and state law. To the extent that the following information describes statutory
and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
particular statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in applicable law or
regulation may have a material effect on the business of First Financial.
As a bank holding company, First Financial is subject to regulation under the
BHCA and its examination and reporting requirements. Under the BHCA, bank
holding companies may not (subject to certain limited exceptions) directly or
indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than five percent (5%) of
any class of voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company,
including a bank, without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve
Board. In addition, bank holding companies are generally prohibited under the
BHCA from engaging in nonbanking activities, subject to certain exceptions.
PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
First Financial is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and
other subsidiaries. Most of First Financial's revenues result from dividends
paid to it by its bank subsidiaries. There are statutory and regulatory
requirements applicable to the payment of dividends by subsidiary banks as well
as by First Financial to its shareholders.
Each state bank subsidiary that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and
each national banking association is required by federal law to obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the "OCC"), as the case may be, for the declaration and payment of
dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the board of directors of
such bank in any year will exceed the total of (i) such bank's net profits (as
defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net
profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two (2)
years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, these banks may
only pay dividends to the extent that retained net profits (including the
portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation).
Under the Texas Banking Code of 1943, as amended, before any dividend may be
paid to First Financial by an affiliated state bank, the state bank must
transfer to "certified surplus" an amount which is not less than ten percent
(10%) of the net profits of such bank earned since the last dividend was
declared; provided, however, that a transfer is not required to certified
surplus of a sum which would increase the certified surplus to more than the
capital of the bank.
Under the foregoing dividend restrictions, in 1993 the First Financial Banks,
without obtaining governmental approvals, could have declared aggregate
dividends of approximately $18.5 million from retained net profits. During
1993, the First Financial Banks paid $8.9 million in dividends.
The payment of dividends by First Financial and its subsidiaries is also
affected by various regulatory requirements and policies, such as the
requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines.
25
<PAGE>
In addition, if, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank
under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or
unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could
include the payment of dividends), such authority may require, after notice and
hearing, that such bank cease and desist from such practice. The Federal
Reserve Board and the OCC have each indicated that paying dividends that deplete
a bank's capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound
banking practice. The Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") have issued policy statements which provide
that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay
dividends out of current operating earnings.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS BY FIRST FINANCIAL WITH ITS AFFILIATES
There are also various legal restrictions on the extent to which First
Financial can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from, or engage in certain other
transactions with, its depository subsidiaries. The "covered transactions" that
an insured depository institution and its subsidiaries are permitted to engage
in with their nondepository affiliates are limited to the following amounts:
(i) in the case of any one such affiliate, the aggregate amount of "covered
transactions" of the insured depository institution and its subsidiaries cannot
exceed ten percent (10%) of the capital stock and the surplus of the insured
depository institution; and (ii) in the case of all affiliates, the aggregate
amount of "covered transactions" of the insured depository institution and its
subsidiaries cannot exceed twenty percent (20%) of the capital stock and surplus
of the insured depository institution. In addition, extensions of credit that
constitute "covered transactions" must be collateralized in prescribed amounts.
"Covered transactions" are defined by statute to include a loan or extension of
credit to the affiliate, a purchase of securities issued by an affiliate, a
purchase of assets from the affiliate (unless otherwise exempted by the Federal
Reserve Board), the acceptance of securities issued by the affiliate as
collateral for a loan and the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance, or letter of
credit for the benefit of an affiliate. Further, a bank holding company and its
subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in
connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing
of services.
CAPITAL
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies. The minimum guidelines for the ratio of total capital
("Total Capital") to risk weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet
activities, such as standby letters of credit) is eight percent (8%). From
year-end 1991 until year-end 1992, the minimum ratio was 7.25%. At least half
of the Total Capital is to be composed of common shareholders' equity, minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries and a limited
amount of perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill ("Tier 1 Capital"). The
remainder may consist of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited
amount of loan loss reserves.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio
guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum
Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital to total assets, less goodwill) of
three percent (3%) for bank holding companies that meet certain specified
criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank
holding companies will generally be required to maintain a minimum Tier 1
Capital leverage ratio of three percent (3%) plus an additional cushion of 100
to 200 basis points. The Federal Reserve Board has not advised First Financial
of any specific minimum Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio applicable to it. The
guidelines also provide that bank holding companies 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 (e.g., goodwill, core deposit intangibles and purchased
mortgage servicing rights). Furthermore, the guidelines indicate that the
Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it will continue to consider a
"tangible Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio" (deducting all intangibles) in
evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. As of September 30, 1993,
the "tangible Tier 1 Capital leverage ratios" of First Financial, Concho and pro
26
<PAGE>
forma (giving effect to the Exchange and the Merger) for First Financial and
Concho combined were 9.63%, 6.89% and 9.38% respectively.
The following tables set forth the Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets
ratios, the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratios and the Tier 1 leverage
ratios for First Financial and Concho individually and on a pro forma combined
basis as of certain dates and periods. Such pro forma combined data is derived
from the financial information of First Financial and Concho at September 30 or
December 31 for each of the periods presented below and gives effect to the
Exchange and the Merger.

In addition to the Federal Reserve Board capital standards, Texas-chartered
banks must comply with the capital requirements imposed by the Texas Banking
Department. Although neither the Texas Banking Code nor the regulations
promulgated thereunder specify any minimum capital-to-assets ratio that must be
maintained by a Texas-chartered bank, the Texas Banking Department has a policy
that generally requires Texas-chartered banks to maintain a minimum 6% ratio of
stockholders equity (stated capital, surplus capital, surplus and undivided
profits or retained earnings) to total assets. As of September 30, 1993, all
Texas-chartered banks owned by First Financial, as well as Concho, exceeded the
minimum ratio.
27
<PAGE>
Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject an insured bank to a variety
of enforcement remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance by the
FDIC and a prohibition on the taking of brokered deposits. See "FDICIA" below.
Bank regulators continue to indicate their desire to raise capital
requirements applicable to banking organizations beyond their current levels.
However, the management of First Financial is unable to predict whether and when
higher capital requirements might be imposed and, if they are imposed, at what
levels and on what schedule.
FIRST FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FIRST FINANCIAL BANKS
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, First Financial is expected to act as a
source of financial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit
resources to support each of such subsidiaries. This support may be required at
times when, absent such Federal Reserve Board policy, First Financial would not
otherwise be required to provide it.
Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for
any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after
August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled
FDIC-insured depository institution, or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC
to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution "in danger of
default." "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or
receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as the existence of
certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence
of regulatory assistance.
Under the National Bank Act, if the capital stock of a national bank is
impaired by losses or otherwise, the OCC is authorized to require payment of the
deficiency by assessment upon the bank's shareholders, pro rata, and to the
extent necessary, if any such assessment is not paid by any shareholder after
three (3) months' notice, to sell the stock of such shareholder to make good the
deficiency.
FDIC INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS
The First Financial Banks are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments.
The FDIC set an assessment rate for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of 0.195
percent for periods prior to June 30, 1991, and an assessment rate of 0.23
percent effective on June 30, 1991. On September 15, 1992 the FDIC approved the
implementation of a transition risk-based deposit premium assessment system
under which each depositary institution will be placed in one of nine assessment
categories based on certain capital and supervisory measures. The assessment
rates under the new system will range from 0.23 percent to 0.31 percent
depending upon the assessment category into which the insured institution is
placed. The new assessment system became effective January 1, 1993. The First
Financial Banks were assessed a weighted average rate of 0.115 percent for the
first six-month assessment period. It is possible that BIF assessments will be
further increased and it is possible that there may be special additional
assessments in the future. A significant increase in the assessment rate or a
special additional assessment could have an adverse impact on First Financial's
results of operations.
FDICIA
Among other things, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1992 ("FDICIA") requires the federal banking agencies to take "prompt
corrective action" in respect of depository institutions that do not meet
minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." A depository institution's
capital tier will depend upon where its capital levels are in relation to
various
28
<PAGE>
relevant capital measures, which will include a risk-based capital measure, a
leverage ratio capital measure and certain other factors.
Regulations establishing the specific capital tiers have been recently
enacted. Under these regulations, for an institution to be well capitalized it
must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least ten percent (10%), a Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio of at least six percent (6%), and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of at least five percent (5%), and not be subject to any specific capital
order or directive. For an institution to be adequately capitalized it must
have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least eight percent (8%), a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of at least four percent (4%), and a leverage ratio of
at least four percent (4%) (in some cases three percent (3%)). Under these new
regulations, the First Financial Banks would be considered to be well
capitalized as of December 31, 1992.
FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to
its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be
undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to
growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The
federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining,
among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is
likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital.
Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce the total
assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator.
DESCRIPTION OF FIRST FINANCIAL CAPITAL STOCK
The following description contains a summary of all of the material features
of the capital stock of First Financial but does not purport to be complete and
is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Financial
Articles of Incorporation, which are filed as exhibits to documents incorporated
by reference herein and by reference to the applicable provisions of the Texas
Business Corporation Act. See also "COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS" below.
The following description should be read carefully by the Concho Shareholders.
First Financial's total authorized capital stock consists of 5,000,000 shares
of First Financial Common Stock with a par value of $10.00 per share. There is
no authorized preferred stock. As of December 31, 1993, there were issued and
outstanding 3,746,687 shares of First Financial Common Stock.
The holders of First Financial Common Stock ("First Financial Shareholders")
are entitled to receive such dividends as may from time to time be declared by
the First Financial Board of Directors. Shareholders are entitled to one vote
per share of First Financial Common Stock on every issue submitted to them as
First Financial Shareholders at a meeting of shareholders or otherwise. In the
event of liquidation, First Financial Shareholders are entitled to share
ratably, after satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors, in all
assets of First Financial available for distribution to First Financial
Shareholders. First Financial Shareholders do not have preemptive or cumulative
voting rights. All shares of First Financial Common Stock now issued and
outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable.
29
<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
In the event that the Exchange is consummated, Concho Shareholders whose
shares of Concho Common Stock are tendered in the Exchange Offer will become
First Financial Shareholders. Their rights will be governed by Texas law, the
First Financial Articles of Incorporation (the "First Financial Charter") and
the Bylaws of First Financial (the "First Financial Bylaws").
Certain differences between the rights of Concho Shareholders and First
Financial Shareholders are set forth below. As both Concho and First Financial
are organized under the laws of Texas, these differences primarily arise from
various provisions of the First Financial Charter, the First Financial Bylaws,
the Concho Articles of Incorporation (the "Concho Charter") and the Bylaws of
Concho (the "Concho Bylaws"). This summary contains a description of the
material differences in shareholder rights, but is not meant to be relied upon
as an exhaustive list or detailed description of the provisions discussed herein
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the TBCA, the First Financial
Charter, the First Financial Bylaws, the Concho Charter and the Concho Bylaws.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The First Financial Bylaws provide that the number of directors constituting
the First Financial Board of Directors shall be not less than three and not more
than thirty. Persons eligible for election to the First Financial Board of
Directors are First Financial Shareholders who, at the date of the annual
meeting of shareholders at which the Board is elected, (i) have not attained the
age of 72 years, or (ii) have not attained the age of 75 years and own one
percent (1%) or more of the outstanding shares of First Financial Common Stock.
Any director of First Financial may be removed, with or without cause, by the
holders of a majority of the shares outstanding.
The Concho Bylaws provide that the number of directors constituting the Concho
Board of Directors shall be four, but the number of Directors may be increased
or decreased (provided such decrease does not shorten the time of service of any
incumbent director) from time to time by amendment to the Concho Bylaws;
provided, however, that the number of directors shall never be less than one.
At any meeting of Concho Shareholders called expressly for the purpose of
removing a director, any director or the entire Concho Board of Directors may be
removed, with or without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares then entitled to vote at any election of directors.
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The First Financial Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no First Financial director shall be liable to First Financial
or the First Financial Shareholders for monetary damages for or with respect to
any acts or omissions in his or her capacity as a director, except in the case
of liability for (i) a breach of a duty of loyalty to First Financial or its
shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good faith or that involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) a transaction
from which a director received an improper benefit, (iv) an act or omission for
which the liability of a director is expressly provided by statute, or (v) an
act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a dividend.
The First Financial Charter also provides that each director, officer,
employee and agent of First Financial shall be indemnified for all expenses
incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim to which he or
she is named a party or otherwise by virtue of holding such position; provided,
however, that no indemnification of employees or agents (other than directors or
officers) will be made without express authorization of the Board of Directors.
The First Financial Charter provides that such indemnification shall be provided
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
30
<PAGE>
The Concho Bylaws provide that Concho shall indemnify its directors and
officers against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by such person in
connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal, in which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been
such director or officer, except in relation to matters as to which he or she
shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence
or misconduct in performance of duty. Neither the Concho Charter nor the Concho
Bylaws contain a limitation of liability provision.
Special Meetings of Shareholders
The First Financial Bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders may
be called by (i) a majority of the Board of Directors, or (ii) by the Chief
Executive Officer joined by at least three members of the Board of Directors, or
(iii) by shareholders holding voting rights of not less than 20% of the stock of
the corporation.
The Concho Bylaws provide that a special meeting of the shareholders may be
called by the President, and shall be called by the President or Secretary at
the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the
request in writing of shareholders owning not less than 10% of all the shares
entitled to vote at the meetings.
INFORMATION ABOUT FIRST FINANCIAL
GENERAL
First Financial is a Texas corporation and a multi-bank holding company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA").
First Financial owns, through its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, First
Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc., all of the capital stock of six banks
organized and located in Texas: First National Bank of Abilene, Abilene, Texas;
Hereford State Bank, Hereford, Texas; First National Bank, Sweetwater, Texas;
Eastland National Bank, Eastland, Texas; The First National Bank in Cleburne,
Cleburne, Texas; and Stephenville Bank and Trust Co., Stephenville, Texas
(collectively, the "First Financial Banks"). As of September 30, 1993, First
Financial and its consolidated subsidiaries had total assets of approximately
$906.8 million, total deposits of approximately $809.1 million, total loans (net
of allowance for loan losses) of approximately $359.1 million and total
shareholders' equity of approximately $88.7 million.
First Financial operates principally in order to give the First Financial
Banks access to additional management and technical resources which help them to
improve or expand their banking and other services while continuing their local
activity and autonomy. Each of the First Financial Banks operates under the
day-to-day management of its Board of Directors and officers, with substantial
authority in making decisions concerning its own investments, loan policies,
interest rates and service charges. First Financial provides assistance to the
First Financial Banks, especially with respect to decisions concerning major
capital expenditures, employee fringe benefits, including pension plans and
group insurance, dividend policies, appointment of officers and directors of
First Financial Banks and compensation. First Financial provides advice to and
specialized services for the First Financial Banks in such areas as taxation,
lending techniques, investments, purchasing, advertising, public relations,
automation procedures and computer services. In addition, First Financial
coordinates various transactions among the First Financial Banks, including loan
participations. First Financial makes the services of the Trust Department of
First National Bank of Abilene available to customers of the other First
Financial Banks, as well as investment and computer services.
Each First Financial Bank is engaged in the general commercial banking
business consisting of the acceptance of checking, savings and time deposits,
the making of loans, including bank credit card services, transmitting funds and
performing such other banking services as are usual and customary for commercial
banks.
31
<PAGE>
In addition to First National Bank of Abilene, First National Bank, Sweetwater
and Stephenville Bank and Trust Co. have active trust departments. The trust
departments offer a complete range of services to individuals, associations and
corporations, including the administration of estates, testamentary trusts and
various types of living trusts and agency accounts. Other sources of revenue
are services for businesses, including administering pension, profit sharing,
and other employee benefit plans, acting as stock transfer agent or stock
registrar, and providing paying agent services.
Commercial banking in Texas is very competitive. As of December 31, 1992, the
latest date of compilation by the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas, Texas, there
were 85 multi-bank holding companies existing or operating in the State of
Texas. Representing .64% of the market, First Financial was ranked seventh on
the basis of total deposits. The competition from holding companies is largely
centered in efforts to obtain larger deposits and procure outlets for funds for
available lending. Success is dependent upon being able to compete in these
areas, as well as in the areas of interest rates paid or charged and scope of
services offered and prices charged therefor.
In addition to competition from other banks, the First Financial Banks will
also continue to be subject to substantial competition from other financial
institutions, such as savings and loan associations, small loan companies,
credit unions and brokerage firms, all of which are engaged in providing
financial products and services.
First Financial's principal executive offices are located at 400 Pine Street,
Abilene, Texas 79601, and its telephone number is (915) 675-7155.

herein by reference from certain publicly-filed documents, see "Incorporation by

I. OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS
General
Concho Bancshares, Inc. is a one bank holding company formed in 1979 and owns
a majority interest in the Southwest Bank of San Angelo, Texas. Southwest Bank

Results of Operations
Concho's earnings increased 35.1%, and 72.9%, in the years ended 1991 and
1992, respectively. 1990's net income of $319,114 was a significant increase
over the net loss of $9,399 experienced in 1989. The improved earnings trend is
attributable to higher net interest income and increases in noninterest income.
Net interest income in 1991 was 9.2% over 1990 and 1992 was 17% over 1991.

VI. NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
Noninterest income in 1992 was $1,118,654, representing a 29.8% improvement
over 1991. The consistent rise in noninterest income is due primarily to
increases in service charge revenues and from improved volumes in the subsidiary
bank's investment center. Service charge income increased from $448,156 in 1990
to $517,572 in 1991 and $630,855 in 1992 and resulted from volume and pricing
increases.
The reserve for loan losses is reviewed by management and the board of
directors on a monthly basis and maintained at levels determined by analyzing
the risk of losses in the loan portfolio. This risk is calculated by rating
individual loans and applying quantitative and subjective considerations to
arrive at an adequate level of reserves. As the quality of the loan portfolio
improved, the provision dropped from $195,000 in 1990 to $120,000 in 1991. The
provision rose to $205,000 in 1992 due to an increase in consumer loan losses.
The reserve balance at year end 1992 totalling $598,734 represents 1.41% of net
loans as compared to 1.40% in 1991 and 1.47% in 1990.
Noninterest expenses totalled $3,053,852 in 1992 for a 5.5% increase over the
$2,893,116 incurred in 1991. The increase reflects a $152,107 increase in
salaries and a $50,413 increase in employee benefits. Employee benefits rose
principally due to a $8,187 increase in matching of the 401(k) pension plan and
a $25,000 contribution to the profit sharing plan. FDIC deposit insurance
expense in 1992 amounted to $165,847 as compared to $135,700 in 1991 and $73,877
in 1990. These increases reflect the higher rates assessed by the FDIC. In 1991,
a non-recurring expense of $50,000 was incurred from a settlement of a disputed
claim by the Internal Revenue Service resulting from the failure by a bank
customer to pay federal withholding taxes. A consulting firm, employed in 1990
to make recommendations regarding profit improvement opportunities, completed
its work in 1992 resulting in a one-time expense of $69,975. There was a
non-recurring gain of $67,500 in 1992 due to the resignation of a director and
the corresponding cancellation of the director's deferred compensation plan.
Concho has benefited from a tax loss carryforward in each of the years
discussed. The benefits, which amounted to $108,477, $164,469, and $67,727 in
1990, 1991 and 1992, respectively, were fully exhausted in 1992.

VII. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The cash flow requirements of Concho are satisfied through lease income and
dividends from the bank subsidiary. The bank subsidiary maintains a high level
of liquidity within its asset mix by continually monitoring maturing investment
securities and loans. The bank also has a $1,000,000 unfunded line of credit for
short term liquidity needs.
Through active asset/liability management, interest rate risk is controlled to
minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings and the market
values of assets. Although interest rates changed significantly from 1990 to the
end of 1992, Concho's net interest margin remained very stable. This stability
is attributable to successfully matching volumes of assets and liabilities in
similar maturities.

VIII. DISCUSSION OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 VERSUS NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1992
GENERAL
Net interest income for the first nine months of 1993 was $2,720,676, which
represents a 16.2% increase over the same period in 1992 due primarily to an
improving net interest margin. Net earnings were reduced by $231,213 as a result
of an accounting change conforming with the requirements of FAS No. 109. This
one-time adjustment reduced net earnings to $375,026 for the nine months, down
35% from the $574,673 for the same period in 1992. Total assets were
$89,110,076, up 5.5%, and total deposits showed a similar increase to
$80,902,873. While total outstanding loans have declined less than one percent,
investment securities have increased almost 9% to $34,795,540. Nonperforming
assets have declined during 1993 by $367,351 to $1,129,954. Shareholders' equity
has increased to $5,816,604, up 4.1% from 1992's $5,586,083. This increase in
equity is after a purchase into treasury of 16,267 shares at a cost of $344,860.
In November 1993, the purchase of these shares was rescinded, resulting in the
shares being reissued and $344,860 being refunded to Concho. As adjusted to
reflect such rescission, shareholders' equity at September 30, 1993 would have
been $6,161,464.

Concho Bancshares, Inc.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
----------------------------
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concho
Bancshares, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31, 1992
and 1991 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1992. 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 consolidated financial position of Concho Bancshares,
Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1991 AND 1990
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies adopted by Concho Bancshares, Inc., the
Company, are summarized below.
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include Concho
-------------
Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Southwest Bank of San Angelo, after
elimination of significant intercompany accounts. A consolidated federal
income tax return is filed with Concho Bancshares, Inc.'s subsidiary, Southwest
Bank of San Angelo. Concho Bancshares, Inc. owns 99.69% of the outstanding
common stock of Southwest Bank of San Angelo.
Cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
----------
include cash on hand and amounts due from banks. Cash flows from loans, demand
deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, federal funds purchased and sold, and
certificates of deposit, are reported net.
Investment securities - Securities held for investment, other than mutual
---------------------
funds, are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts computed on the straight-line method over the period from date of
purchase to date of maturity. This method does not result in amounts that are
materially different from that required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The investment in mutual funds is stated at the lower of aggregate
cost or market as of the balance sheet date.
Interest income on loans - Interest on commercial, real estate and student
------------------------
loans is recognized as earned based upon the principal amounts outstanding.
Interest on installment loans is recognized as earned based on the rule of
seventy-eights method.
Building and equipment - Building and equipment are stated at cost less
----------------------
accumulated depreciation computed by the straight-line and accelerated cost
recovery system methods. Accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 1992 and
1991 is $ 2,075,690 and $ 1,930,523, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred while improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the useful life of such improvements.
Allowance for loan losses - The allowance for loan losses is available for
-------------------------
losses incurred on loans and is increased by provisions charged to operating
expenses and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance is based
on management's evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve. This evaluation
encompasses consideration of past loss experience and other factors, including
changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, the relationship of the
allowance to the portfolio, and current economic conditions.

Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income
and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in
different periods. The principal sources of timing differences are
different depreciation methods for tax and financial purposes, and
differences in tax and financial accounting for deferred compensation
arrangements, bad debt losses and bond discount accretion. No deferred
federal income taxes have been recorded in these financial statements.

NOTE 7: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The subsidiary 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 letters of credit. Those instruments involve elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
subsidiary has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The subsidiary's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The subsidiary uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

</TABLE>
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 may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The subsidiary evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case by case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the
subsidiary upon extension of credit is based upon management's credit
evaluation.

NOTE 13: CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
---------------------
Taxes, which supersedes substantially all existing authoritative literature
-----
for accounting for income taxes and requires deferred tax balances to be
adjusted to reflect the tax rates in effect when those amounts are expected
to become payable or refundable. The Statement is required to be applied
in the Company's 1993 financial statements (earlier application is
permitted), either by restating prior-period financial statements or by
recognizing the cumulative effect of the change in the year of adoption.
The Company plans to recognize the cumulative effect of the change in 1993
when it adopts the Statement. The Company would have a deferred income tax
liability of $ 189,417 under the measurement principles of SFAS No. 109.

NOTE 14: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires all entities to disclose the
estimated fair value of its financial instrument assets and liabilities.
For the Company, as for most financial institutions, approximately 95% of
its assets and 99% of its liabilities are considered financial instruments
as defined in Statement No. 107. Many of the Company's financial
instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by
a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It
is also the Company's general practice and intent to hold its financial
instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities.
Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used
by the Company for the purpose of this disclosure.
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best
available data, as generally provided in the Company's Regulatory Reports,
and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial
instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it
is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the recorded
book balances. The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair
values, and recorded book balances at December 31, 1992, were as follows:
*Financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been
valued using quoted available market prices.

Investment securities (Note 2) 34,347,360 33,806,858
</TABLE>
*Financial instruments with stated maturities have been valued using a
present value discounted cash flow with a discount rate approximating
current market for similar assets and liabilities. Financial instrument
assets with variable rates and financial instrument liabilities with no
stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to both the amount
payable on demand and the recorded book balance.

</TABLE>
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on these estimated fair values.
The Company's remaining assets and liabilities which are not considered
financial instruments have not been valued differently than has been
customary with historical cost accounting. No disclosure of the
relationship value of the Company's deposits is required by Statement No.
107 nor has the Company estimated its value. There is no material
difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of
off-balance-sheet unfunded loan commitments which total $ 4,740,485 and are
generally priced at market at the time of funding. Letters of credit
discussed in Note 7 have an estimated fair value based on fees currently
charged for similar agreements. At December 31, 1992, fees related to the
unexpired term of the letters of credit are not significant.
Management is concerned that reasonable comparability between financial
institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation
techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of
active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack
of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of
subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

COMPILATION REPORT
------------------
We have compiled the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Concho
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary, as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for the nine months then ended and the consolidated statements of
earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1993 and 1992, in accordance
with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements
information that is the representation of management. We have not audited or
reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance on them. However, we did become aware
of a departure from generally accepted accounting principles that is described
in the following paragraph.
Statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 1993
and 1992 have not been presented. Generally accepted accounting principles
require a statement of cash flows to be presented for each period for which
results of operations are provided when financial statements report both
financial position and results of operations.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 1992 was audited by us as part of an audit
of Concho Bancshares, Inc's financial statements, and we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our report dated February
12, 1993, but we have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

Investment securities - Securities held for investment, other than mutual
---------------------
funds, are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line method over the period
from date of purchase to date of maturity. The investment in mutual funds
is stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market as of the balance sheet
date.
Interest income on loans - Interest on commercial, real estate and student

and other factors, including changes in the composition and volume of the
portfolio, the relationship of the allowance to the portfolio, and current
economic conditions.

During the year ended December 31, 1988, the subsidiary changed its method
of accounting for nonrefundable fees and costs associated with lending
activities to comply with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 91. Under the new accounting method, certain
lending related costs are capitalized into the loan balance and amortized
against interest income over the term of the loan. Total capitalized loan
cost and related amortization are as follows:

NOTE 7: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The subsidiary 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 letters of credit. Those instruments involve elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
subsidiary has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The subsidiary's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The subsidiary uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. The contract amounts of these commitments are as follows:

Financial instruments whose
contract amounts represent

Letters of Credit 790,234 726,980
----------- -----------
$ 7,154,806 $ 5,467,465
=========== ===========
</TABLE>
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 may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The subsidiary evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case by case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the
subsidiary upon extension of credit is based upon management's credit
evaluation.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the bank to

NOTE 13: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1993, the Company changed
its method of accounting for federal income taxes to conform with the
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. No
effect on federal income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1993
has been recorded based upon the application of the new accounting
principle. Financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 1993
have not been restated, and the cumulative effect of the change of
$ 231,213 ($ 1.19 per share) is shown as a one-time charge to income in the
September 30, 1993 income statement.
NOTE 14: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires all entities to disclose the
estimated fair value of its financial instrument assets and liabilities.
For the Company, as for most financial institutions, approximately 95% of
its assets and 99% of its liabilities are considered financial instruments
as defined in Statement No. 107. Many of the Company's financial
instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by
a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It
is also the Company's general practice and intent to hold its financial
instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities.
Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used
by the Company for the purpose of this disclosure.
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best
available data, as generally provided in the Company's Regulatory Reports,
and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial
instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it
is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the recorded
book balances. The estimation methodologies used, the estimated fair
values, and recorded book balances at December 31, 1992, and September
30,1993 were as follows:

effect on these estimated fair values.
The Company's remaining assets and liabilities which are not considered
financial instruments have not been valued differently than has been
customary with historical cost accounting. No disclosure of the
relationship value of the Company's deposits is required by Statement No.
107 nor has the Company estimated its value. There is no material
difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of
off-balance-sheet unfunded loan commitments which total $ 4,740,485 and
$ 6,364,572 at December 31, 1992 and September 30, 1993, respectively, and
are generally priced at market at the time of funding. Letters of credit
discussed in Note 7 have an estimated fair value based on fees currently
charged for similar agreements. At December 31, 1992 and September 30,
1993, fees related to the unexpired term of the letters of credit are not
significant.

NOTE 14: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Management is concerned that reasonable comparability between financial
institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation
techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of
active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack
of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of

The Board of Directors
Concho Bancshares, Inc.
P. O. Box 60410
San Angelo, Texas 76906
Dear Sirs
Pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of December 7, 1993 (the "Agreement") among First
Financial Bankshares, Inc. ("First Financial"), Concho Bancshares, Inc.
("Concho") and Southwest Bank of San Angelo ("Southwest Bank"), our opinion has
been requested with respect to certain of the Federal income tax consequences of
the exchange by the Concho shareholders of their Concho stock for First
Financial voting common stock (the "Stock Exchange") and the merger of Concho
with and into First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc. ("FFB Delaware"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Financial (the "Merger"). This opinion letter
-------------------
supersedes our opinion letter dated December 17, 1993.
- ------------------------------------------------------
In rendering our opinion, we have reviewed the Agreement and such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. We have relied upon the
accuracy and completeness of the facts, information, covenants and
representations contained in the Agreement and such other documents.
Furthermore, we have assumed that the Stock Exchange and Merger will be
consummated in accordance with the Agreement and that the Merger will qualify as
a merger under applicable State law.
In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretive rulings of
the Internal Revenue Service and such other authorities as we have considered
relevant. It should be noted that statutes, regulations, judicial decisions and
administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time and, in some
circumstances, with retroactive effect. A material change in the authorities
upon which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions. However, we
assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion if any subsequent
change were to occur.
Requisite to a tax-free reorganization under the Code is a continuity of
interest in the business enterprise on the part of those persons who were the
owners of the enterprise prior to the reorganization. Accordingly, the Concho
shareholders, as a group, will be required to satisfy the continuity of interest
doctrine through a post-exchange continuing ownership
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors
Concho Bancshares, Inc.

Page 2
of the First Financial voting common stock received in the Stock Exchange. In
this regard, a disposition by the Concho shareholders of a substantial portion
(in the aggregate) of their post-exchange First Financial shares which is
pursuant to a plan, intention or arrangement existing at the time of the Stock
Exchange will result in a failure to satisfy the continuity of interest
doctrine. The Internal Revenue Service takes the position that 50 percent (in
the aggregate) constitutes a "substantial portion." A failure to satisfy the
continuity of interest doctrine will result in the Stock Exchange being a
taxable transaction to the Concho shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we
have assumed that the continuity of interest doctrine can and will be satisfied.
Also requisite to a tax-free reorganization under the Code is a continuity of
the business enterprise under the modified corporate form. The continuity of
business enterprise doctrine requires that the acquiring corporation either
continue the acquired corporation's historic business or use a significant
portion of the acquired corporation's historic business assets in a business.
Accordingly, in order to satisfy the continuity of business enterprise doctrine,
First Financial and/or one or more of its controlled subsidiaries will be
required to either continue the historic business of Concho and Southwest Bank
or use a significant portion of the historic business assets of Concho and
Southwest Bank in a business. A failure to satisfy the continuity of business
enterprise doctrine will result in the Stock Exchange being a taxable
transaction to the Concho shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we have
assumed that the continuity of business enterprise doctrine will be satisfied.
In addition to the requirements noted in the foregoing for a tax-free
reorganization under the Code, there is the requirement that, immediately after
a stock-for-stock exchange, the acquiring corporation must have control of the
acquired corporation. For purposes of the reorganization provisions of the
Code, the term "control" means the ownership of stock possessing at least 80
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to
vote and at least 80 percent of the total number of shares of all other classes
of stock of the corporation. Therefore, in order to satisfy the control
requirement, First Financial and/or one or more of its controlled subsidiaries
will have to own at least 80 percent of the outstanding stock of Concho
immediately after the Stock Exchange. If the Stock Exchange is consummated with
First Financial acquiring less than 80 percent of the outstanding stock of
Concho, the Stock Exchange will be a taxable transaction to the Concho
shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we have assumed that the control
requirement will be satisfied.
Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under
current law:
1. The Stock Exchange and Merger will be treated as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and First Financial,
Concho and FFB Delaware each will be a party to the reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by the Concho shareholders upon
receipt of
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors
Concho Bancshares, Inc.
February 4, 1994
Page 3
First Financial voting common stock in exchange for their Concho
stock, except for any gain or loss recognized with respect to
shareholders who receive cash in lieu of fractional share interests in
First Financial voting common stock or pursuant to the exercise of
statutory dissenter rights.
3. The aggregate Federal income tax basis of the shares of First
Financial voting common stock received by the Concho shareholders in
exchange for their shares of Concho stock will be the same as the
aggregate adjusted tax basis of their Concho stock exchanged therefor,
less the tax basis, if any, allocated to fractional share interests.
4. The holding period of the First Financial voting common stock received
by the Concho shareholders in exchange for their shares of Concho
stock in the hands of the Concho shareholders will include the holding
period of their Concho stock exchanged therefor.
Except as set forth above, we express no opinion as to the tax consequences,
whether Federal, State or local, of the Stock Exchange and Merger, or of any
transactions related thereto. We are furnishing this opinion to you solely in
connection with Section 2.2 of the Agreement. This opinion is solely for your
benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for
any purpose without our prior consent.
We hereby consent to the references made to us in the Summary and under the
heading "The Exchange Offer - Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the
Offering Circular/Prospectus of First Financial Relating to the Stock Exchange,
and to the inclusion of this opinion as an Annex to the Offering
Circular/Prospectus and the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 of which such Offering Circular/Prospectus is
a part.
Very truly yours

the merger, mail to each shareholder of record of each subsidiary domestic
corporation a copy of the articles of merger and notify the shareholder that the

(1) Such shareholder shall within twenty (20) days after the mailing of
the notice and copy of the articles of merger make written demand on the
surviving corporation, domestic or foreign, for payment of the fair value of his
shares. The fair value of the shares shall be the value thereof as of the day
before the effective date of the merger, excluding any appreciation or
depreciation in anticipation of such act. The demand shall state the number and
class of the shares owned by the dissenting shareholder and the fair value of
such shares as estimated by him. Any shareholder failing to make demand within
the twenty (20) day period shall be bound by the corporate action.
(2) Within ten (10) days after receipt by the surviving corporation of a
demand for payment by the dissenting shareholder of the fair value of his shares
in accordance with Subsection (1) of this section, the corporation (foreign or
domestic) shall deliver or mail to the dissenting shareholder a written notice
which shall either set out that the corporation (foreign or domestic) accepts

3
<PAGE>
entitled to bring suit for the recovery of the value of his shares or money

Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
------------------------------------------
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA")
provides that a Texas corporation, such as First Financial Bankshares, Inc.
("First Financial"), may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative, any appeal in such an action and any inquiry or investigation
that could lead to such an action, because the person is or was a director of
officer of the corporation. In order to be entitled to such indemnification,
the director of officer must have conducted himself in good faith and reasonably
believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the
corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interest, (ii) in
all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's
best interest, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that his
conduct was not unlawful. Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA provides that a director
or officer may not be indemnified for proceedings in which the person is found
liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received or in which
the person is found liable to the corporation.
The First Financial Articles of Incorporation provide that, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each director, officer, employee and
agent of First Financial shall be indemnified for all expenses incurred in
connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim to which he or she is
named a party or otherwise by virtue of holding such position; provided,
however, that no indemnification of employees or agents (other than directors or
officers) will be made without express authorization of the Board of Directors.
The First Financial Articles of Incorporation also provide that, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no First Financial director shall be
liable to First Financial or the First Financial shareholders for monetary
damages for or with respect to any acts or omissions in his or her capacity as a
director, except in the case of liability for (i) a breach of a duty of loyalty
to First Financial or its shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good
faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law,
(iii) a transaction from which a director received an improper benefit, (iv) an
act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by
statute, or (v) an act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a
dividend.

Item 22. Undertakings.
------------
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
set forth in the Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
related to the securities
II-3
<PAGE>
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that
prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through
use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any
person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule
145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(d) The undersigned registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i)
that is filed pursuant to paragraph (c) immediately preceding, or (ii) that
purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and
is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will
be filed as a part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be
used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(f) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests
for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant
to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the
date of responding to the request.
(g) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means
of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.

February 4, 1994
The Board of Directors
Concho Bancshares, Inc.
P. O. Box 60410
San Angelo, Texas 76906
Dear Sirs
Pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of December 7, 1993 (the "Agreement") among First
Financial Bankshares, Inc. ("First Financial"), Concho Bancshares, Inc.
("Concho") and Southwest Bank of San Angelo ("Southwest Bank"), our opinion has
been requested with respect to certain of the Federal income tax consequences of
the exchange by the Concho shareholders of their Concho stock for First
Financial voting common stock (the "Stock Exchange") and the merger of Concho
with and into First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc. ("FFB Delaware"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Financial (the "Merger"). This opinion letter
-------------------
supersedes our opinion letter dated December 17, 1993.
- ------------------------------------------------------
In rendering our opinion, we have reviewed the Agreement and such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. We have relied upon the
accuracy and completeness of the facts, information, covenants and
representations contained in the Agreement and such other documents.
Furthermore, we have assumed that the Stock Exchange and Merger will be
consummated in accordance with the Agreement and that the Merger will qualify as
a merger under applicable State law.
In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretive rulings of
the Internal Revenue Service and such other authorities as we have considered
relevant. It should be noted that statutes, regulations, judicial decisions and
administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time and, in some
circumstances, with retroactive effect. A material change in the authorities
upon which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions. However, we
assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion if any subsequent
change were to occur.
Requisite to a tax-free reorganization under the Code is a continuity of
interest in the business enterprise on the part of those persons who were the
owners of the enterprise prior to the reorganization. Accordingly, the Concho
shareholders, as a group, will be required to satisfy the continuity of interest
doctrine through a post-exchange continuing ownership

of the First Financial voting common stock received in the Stock Exchange. In
this regard, a disposition by the Concho shareholders of a substantial portion
(in the aggregate) of their post-exchange First Financial shares which is
pursuant to a plan, intention or arrangement existing at the time of the Stock
Exchange will result in a failure to satisfy the continuity of interest
doctrine. The Internal Revenue Service takes the position that 50 percent (in
the aggregate) constitutes a "substantial portion." A failure to satisfy the
continuity of interest doctrine will result in the Stock Exchange being a
taxable transaction to the Concho shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we
have assumed that the continuity of interest doctrine can and will be satisfied.
Also requisite to a tax-free reorganization under the Code is a continuity of
the business enterprise under the modified corporate form. The continuity of
business enterprise doctrine requires that the acquiring corporation either
continue the acquired corporation's historic business or use a significant
portion of the acquired corporation's historic business assets in a business.
Accordingly, in order to satisfy the continuity of business enterprise doctrine,
First Financial and/or one or more of its controlled subsidiaries will be
required to either continue the historic business of Concho and Southwest Bank
or use a significant portion of the historic business assets of Concho and
Southwest Bank in a business. A failure to satisfy the continuity of business
enterprise doctrine will result in the Stock Exchange being a taxable
transaction to the Concho shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we have
assumed that the continuity of business enterprise doctrine will be satisfied.
In addition to the requirements noted in the foregoing for a tax-free
reorganization under the Code, there is the requirement that, immediately after
a stock-for-stock exchange, the acquiring corporation must have control of the
acquired corporation. For purposes of the reorganization provisions of the
Code, the term "control" means the ownership of stock possessing at least 80
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to
vote and at least 80 percent of the total number of shares of all other classes
of stock of the corporation. Therefore, in order to satisfy the control
requirement, First Financial and/or one or more of its controlled subsidiaries
will have to own at least 80 percent of the outstanding stock of Concho
immediately after the Stock Exchange. If the Stock Exchange is consummated with
First Financial acquiring less than 80 percent of the outstanding stock of
Concho, the Stock Exchange will be a taxable transaction to the Concho
shareholders. In rendering our opinion, we have assumed that the control
requirement will be satisfied.
Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under
current law:
1. The Stock Exchange and Merger will be treated as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and First Financial,
Concho and FFB Delaware each will be a party to the reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by the Concho shareholders upon
receipt of
<PAGE>
The Board of Directors
Concho Bancshares, Inc.

Page 3
First Financial voting common stock in exchange for their Concho
stock, except for any gain or loss recognized with respect to
shareholders who receive cash in lieu of fractional share interests in
First Financial voting common stock or pursuant to the exercise of
statutory dissenter rights.
3. The aggregate Federal income tax basis of the shares of First
Financial voting common stock received by the Concho shareholders in
exchange for their shares of Concho stock will be the same as the
aggregate adjusted tax basis of their Concho stock exchanged therefor,
less the tax basis, if any, allocated to fractional share interests.
4. The holding period of the First Financial voting common stock received
by the Concho shareholders in exchange for their shares of Concho
stock in the hands of the Concho shareholders will include the holding
period of their Concho stock exchanged therefor.
Except as set forth above, we express no opinion as to the tax consequences,
whether Federal, State or local, of the Stock Exchange and Merger, or of any
transactions related thereto. We are furnishing this opinion to you solely in
connection with Section 2.2 of the Agreement. This opinion is solely for your
benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for
any purpose without our prior consent.
We hereby consent to the references made to us in the Summary and under the

Under the federal income tax laws, the Exchange Agent may be required to
withhold 31% of the amount of any payments made to certain Concho Shareholders
pursuant to the Exchange Offer. In order to avoid such backup withholding, each
tendering Concho Shareholder must provide the Exchange Agent with such Concho
Shareholder's correct taxpayer identification number by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 set forth below. In general, if a Concho Shareholder is an
individual, the taxpayer identification number is the Social Security number of
such individual. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct
taxpayer identification number, the Concho Shareholder may be subject to a $50
penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. CERTAIN CONCHO SHAREHOLDERS
(INCLUDING, AMONG OTHERS, ALL CORPORATIONS AND CERTAIN FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS) ARE
NOT SUBJECT TO THESE BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. In order to
satisfy the Exchange Agent that a foreign individual qualifies as an exempt
recipient, such Concho Shareholder must submit a statement, signed under
penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. A form for
such statements can be obtained from the Exchange Agent. For further
information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the
Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a taxpayer identification number if
you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if securities
are held in more than one name), consult the enclosed Guideline of the Internal
Revenue Service for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on
Substitute Form W-9.
Failure to complete the Substitute Form W-9 will not, by itself, cause
shares of Concho Common Stock to be deemed invalidly tendered, but may require
the Exchange Agent to withhold 31% of the amount of any payments made pursuant
to the Exchange Offer. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income
tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup
withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding
results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

counsel for First Financial, be unlawful. First Financial also reserves the
right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular
shares of Concho Common Stock. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in
connection with tenders of shares of Concho Common Stock must be cured within
such time as First Financial shall determine. Neither First Financial, the
Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification
of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of shares of Concho Common
Stock, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such
notification. Tenders of shares of Concho Common Stock will not be deemed to
have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
Any shares of Concho Common Stock received by the Exchange Agent that are not
properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been
cured or waived will be returned without cost by the Exchange Agent to the
tendering Concho Shareholders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of
Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date.
2. NO PARTIAL TENDERS. All shares of Concho Common Stock represented by
certificates delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been

by the registered holder(s) of the shares of Concho Common Stock tendered
hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of
the certificates representing the shares of Concho Common Stock without
alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of
shares of Concho Common Stock tendered and the certificate(s) for shares of
First Financial Common Stock issued in exchange therefor is to be issued to the
registered holder, such holder need not and should not endorse any certificates
for tendered shares of Concho Common Stock, nor provide a separate stock power.
In any other case, such holder must either properly endorse the certificates
representing shares of Concho Common Stock tendered or transmit a properly
completed separate stock power with this Letter of Transmittal, with the
signatures on the endorsement or stock power guaranteed by an Eligible
Institution.
If any shares of Concho Common Stock tendered hereby are held of record by
two or more persons, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the
registered holder(s) of any certificates for shares of Concho Common Stock
tendered hereby, such certificates for shares of Concho Common Stock must be
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers signed exactly as the name
of the registered holder(s) appears on the certificates representing such shares
of Concho Common Stock.
If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates for shares of Concho
Common Stock or stock powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators,
guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a
fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when
signing, and unless waived by First Financial, evidence satisfactory to First
Financial of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of
Transmittal.
Endorsements on certificates for shares of Concho Common Stock and
signatures on stock powers required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by

4. SPECIAL EXCHANGE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If the certificates for
shares of First Financial Common Stock or checks for any cash payment in lieu of
payment of fractional shares of First Financial Common Stock are to be issued,
or any shares of Concho Common Stock not accepted for
-9-
<PAGE>

Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal at
an address other than that provided herein, the appropriate boxes on this Letter
of Transmittal should be completed. In the case of issuance in a different
name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of the person named
must also be indicated.
5. TRANSFER TAXES. First Financial will pay all transfer taxes, if any,
applicable to the exchange of shares of Concho Common Stock pursuant to the
Exchange Offer unless such payment would jeopardize the tax-free nature of the
Exchange Offer or the Merger (as defined in the Prospectus) for Federal income
tax purposes. If, however, certificates representing shares of First Financial
Common Stock or checks for any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of
First Financial Common Stock are issued, or certificates for shares of Concho
