Report of Independent Auditors
Compensation and Benefits Committee of
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the 1991 Thrift Incentive Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the 1991 Thrift
Incentive Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996 and 1995
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the 1991 Thrift Incentive Stock Purchase Plan for
Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (the Plan) are presented on the accrual
basis of accounting. Participating entities include: Cullen/Frost Bankers,
Inc. (CFBI); Frost National Bank; and United States National Bank, all of which
are referred to herein as "the Company."
The cost of a specific security sold is used to compute gains and losses on the
sale of investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Description of the Plan
The Plan, amended and restated on January 1, 1991, is a non-qualified
contributory plan. In addition to the Plan, the Company maintains the 401(k)
Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and its
Affiliates (the 401(k) Plan). The Plan covers substantially all eligible
employees who have been determined to be highly compensated employees with
respect to the plan year under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan regarding
discretionary matching contributions, and who have been designated by the
Plan's administrative committee as eligible for participation. The Plan was
adopted to offer to eligible employees whose participation in the 401(k) Plan
is limited an alternative means of receiving comparable benefits.
For each plan year, each active participant is eligible to contribute an amount
not to exceed the total of:
i) the amount by which the active participant's 401(k) Plan contributions
have been limited by IRS regulations not to exceed the difference
between
a) six percent of the participant's compensation for the respective
plan year, and

2. Description of the Plan (continued)
b) the total before and after tax contributions allocated under the
401(k) Plan, and
ii) the amount by which the participant's contributions to the 401(k) Plan
have been limited by IRS regulations.
For each plan year, the Company makes contributions equal to 100% of the
participants' before- and after-tax contributions to the Plan and the 401(k)
Plan, up to six percent of the participants' compensation for the respective
plan year.
Participants are immediately vested 100% in their accounts which are
distributed to them as of the date the distribution is made.
With respect to each plan year, all contributions under the Plan, both from the
participants and the Company, are invested in common stock of CFBI.
All assets of the Plan are distributed on an annual basis by the end of each
plan year. Participants receive stock certificates for their allocated portion
of CFBI common stock (in whole shares), and cash for fractional shares.
3. Transactions With Parties-In-Interest
The Company may pay for certain or all expenses incurred in administering the
provisions of the Plan. During 1996 and 1995, all such expenses were paid by
the Company.
4. Income Tax Status
The Plan is not subject to federal income taxes.
