ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
TEJAS BANCSHARES, INC.
Tejas Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Texas
corporation on June 22, 1983, to serve as a bank holding company, as defined
in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). On
December 31, 1983 the Company became a bank holding company through the
acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Fritch
State Bank, a Texas banking association. As described herein, during 1997
Fritch State Bank relocated its main office to Amarillo, Texas, and converted
its charter from a Texas banking association to a national banking
association under the title "The First National Bank of Amarillo" (the
"Bank").
The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Bank.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had, on a consolidated basis, total
assets of approximately $144,740,000, total deposits of approximately
$106,255,000, total loans of approximately $117,102,000 (net of unearned
discount and allowance for loan losses), and total stockholders' equity of
approximately $37,853,000.
The Company does not, as an entity, engage in separate business
activities of a material nature apart from the activities it performs for the
Bank. The primary activities of the Company are to provide assistance in the
management and coordination of its Bank's financial resources and to provide
capital, business development, long-range planning, and public relations
services for the Bank. The Bank operates under the day-to-day management of
its own officers and the Bank Board formulates its own policies with respect
to banking and business matters.
The Company's primary source of revenue is dividends from the Bank. Any
future dividend payments by the Bank will be determined by the Bank based on
its financial condition and such dividends may only be declared and paid in
compliance with applicable law and regulatory guidelines.
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") in
accordance with the requirements set forth in the BHC Act and by the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Reserve.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF AMARILLO
The Bank is a national banking association with its main office in
Amarillo, Texas. The Bank opened for business on April 10, 1965 as a Texas
banking association and converted to a national banking association effective
June 30, 1997. As a national banking association, the Bank is subject to
regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") in
accordance with the requirements set forth in the National Bank Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Comptroller. As of
December 31, 1997, the Bank had total assets of approximately $143,981,000,
total deposits of approximately $107,139,000, total loans of approximately
2
<PAGE>
$117,102,000 (net of unearned discount and allowance for loan losses), and
total stockholders' equity of approximately $36,373,000.
The Bank provides a full range of banking services to business,
industry, public and governmental organizations and individuals located in
Amarillo, Dalhart and Fritch, Texas. The Bank provides its customers with a
variety of commercial banking services. For businesses, the Bank offers
checking facilities, certificates of deposit, short-term loans for working
capital purposes, term loans for fixed assets and expansion needs and other
commercial loans suitable to the needs of its business customers. When the
borrowing needs of a customer exceed the Bank's lending limit, the Bank
participates with other banks in making the loan. Similarly, the Bank
provides other services for its customers through its correspondent and other
relationships with other financial institutions.
The individual services provided by the Bank include checking accounts,
savings accounts, certificates of deposit, Money Market Deposit accounts, NOW
accounts, IRA and qualified retirement plans, safe deposit facilities and
personal loan programs, including home improvement loans, short-term mortgage
loans and installment loans for the purchase of automobiles and other
consumer goods. The Bank also provides cashier's checks, travelers' checks,
money orders, wire transfers, and bank-by-mail services. The Bank does not
presently offer trust services.
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY AND THE BANK
Effective May 23, 1997, Mr. Donald E. Powell, the Company's and the
Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer, acquired control of all of the
outstanding stock of the Company (the "Acquisition"). Mr. Powell's
acquisition of control of the Company was accomplished pursuant to the terms
of a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Mr. Powell, the Company and all of
the shareholders of the Company.
The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that the Company would repurchase
approximately 73% of its outstanding common stock from existing shareholders
and that Mr. Powell would acquire the remaining shares from one or more
shareholders. The aggregate purchase price for such shares to be received by
all of the shareholders of the Company was $2,163,697.45, and was determined
through arms'-length negotiations among the shareholders of the Company, the
Company and Mr. Powell. The Stock Purchase Agreement contemplated that
certain non-performing loan assets on the books of the Bank would be
transferred out of the Bank for the benefit of the Company's then-current
shareholders. Immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, not all
such non-performing loan assets had been transferred to the shareholders and
remained on the Bank's books. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for
the stock of the Company was adjusted downward, and Mr. Powell and the
Company on behalf of its shareholders entered into an agreement pursuant to
which any net recoveries on such non-performing assets received after the
effective date of the Acquisition would be subsequently transferred to the
Company's shareholders on a pro rata basis according to such shareholder's
respective ownership interest in the Company on the closing date of the
Acquisition. The aggregate value of such non-performing loan assets was
approximately $79,000 as of May 23, 1997, the effective date of the
Acquisition.
Immediately prior to consummation of the transaction, the Company had
9,195 shares of common stock, par value $10.00 per share, issued and
outstanding and owned by approximately 21
3
<PAGE>
shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Company repurchased 6,695 shares of the common stock for $1,575,416.47, which
shares were subsequently canceled, thereby reducing the number of outstanding
shares of the Company to 2,500. Simultaneously, Mr. Powell acquired the
remaining 2,500 shares of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock
for $588,280.98 from a single shareholder of the Company. As a result of
these simultaneous transactions, referred to herein as the "Acquisition," Mr.
Powell's resulting ownership of 2,500 shares constituted ownership of all of
the outstanding shares of the Company.
The purchase price for the 6,695 shares repurchased by the Company,
$1,575,416.47 in the aggregate, was funded from (i) the proceeds of a
$1,000,000 loan to the Company by Mr. Powell, and (ii) a dividend paid to the
Company by the Bank. The loan to the Company from Mr. Powell, which,
pursuant to the terms of a promissory note given by the Company to Mr.
Powell, was to be repaid over a 10-year period, was secured by a pledge of
all of the capital stock of the Bank owned by the Company. The loan was
repaid in full on September 2, 1997.
Prior to acquiring a controlling interest in the Company, and an
indirect controlling interest in the Bank, Mr. Powell applied for, and
received regulatory approval of the Acquisition from the Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas and the Texas Department of Banking.
Following completion of Mr. Powell's acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of the Company, and in anticipation of intrastate public
offering of the Company's common stock, the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company were amended to (i) increase the authorized shares of common stock of
the Company from 10,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares, (ii) reduce the par
value of the common stock of the Company from $10.00 per share to $1.00 per
share, (iii) eliminate the preemptive rights of the shareholders of the
Company, and (iv) generally update the indemnification provisions presently
contained within the Company's organizational documents. As Mr. Powell was
the Company's sole shareholder following consummation of the Acquisition,
such amendments were approved by unanimous written consent following adoption
by the Company's Board of Directors.
In addition, on July 2, 1997, the Company effected a 77.4372-for-1 stock
dividend to all shareholders of record on June 30, 1997 (the "Stock
Dividend"). As a result of this stock dividend, Mr. Powell's 2,500 shares
were converted into 196,093 shares of the Company's common stock,
representing all of the current outstanding shares. The purpose and effect
of the Stock Dividend was to preserve Mr. Powell's investment in the Company
($588,280.98) in relation to the price of the shares offered to the public at
$3.00 per share. Mr. Powell's original $588,280.98 investment in the Company
is the economic equivalent of having purchased 196,093 shares (excluding a
fractional share interest) at $3.00 per share (196,093 shares x $3.00 =
$588.279). The conversion of Mr. Powell's 2,500 shares into 196,093 shares
was accomplished by declaring a dividend of 77.4372 shares for each share of
Common Stock outstanding (2,500 shares outstanding + (77.4372 x 2,500 shares)
= 196,093). Following the Stock Dividend, Mr. Powell's cost basis in such
stock equaled $3.00 per share, which is equivalent to the price of the Common
Stock offered in the public offering. Additional information regarding the
public offering is set forth in Item 10 to the Registration Statement on
Form 10.

<PAGE>
CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT AND COMPETITIVE FOCUS.
Prior to the Acquisition, Mr. Powell served as the President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Boatmen's First
National Bank of Amarillo, Amarillo, Texas. Boatmen's First National Bank of
Amarillo, formerly known as The First National Bank of Amarillo prior to being
acquired by Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri in 1994, had an
established correspondent banking relationship with the Bank. Accordingly,
because of this relationship, Mr. Powell had developed contacts with former
management of the Bank and the Company. In late August 1996, NationsBank
Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. announced
that they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which NationsBank
would acquire Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. As a result thereof, NationsBank was
indirectly acquiring Boatmen's First National Bank of Amarillo. NationsBank's
acquisition of the Boatmen's organization was subsequently completed in late
January 1997.
Although Mr. Powell retained his position as an executive officer and
Chairman of the Board of Boatmen's First National Bank of Amarillo following
completion of the NationsBank transaction in January 1997, Mr. Powell
voluntarily resigned from the Boatmen's organization effective February 5, 1997
to pursue other lifelong pursuits, including the operation of a truly
"community-owned" financial institution. An initial step in fulfilling this
pursuit resulted in the acquisition of control of the Company and indirect
acquisition of control of the Bank.
Immediately following completion of the Acquisition, Mr. Powell became the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company's former
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company continued to be employed by
the Bank following the Acquisition and currently serves as the manager of one of
the branches of the Bank. In addition, immediately following the Acquisition,
Mr. Powell, as the sole shareholder of the Company, reconstituted the board of
directors of the Company with five individuals, each of whom, including Mr.
Powell, previously served as a member of the board of directors of Boatmen's
First National Bank of Amarillo, Mr. Powell's former employer. Information
regarding the current executive officer and directors of the Company is set
forth in Item 5 to this Registration Statement on Form 10. In addition,
following the Acquisition, the executive officers and members of the board of
directors of the Bank were reconstituted in similar fashion.
In addition to the management changes noted above, following the
Acquisition, management of the Bank took steps to (1) relocate the main office
of the Bank from Fritch, Texas, to Amarillo, Texas, retaining the Fritch
location as a full-service branch of the Bank, (2) convert the Bank from a Texas
banking association to a national banking association chartered by the
Comptroller, and (3) change the name of the Bank from "Fritch State Bank" to
"The First National Bank of Amarillo". These transactions, the net result of
which was to re-introduce "The First National Bank of Amarillo" to the community
of Amarillo, Texas, were completed on or about June 30, 1997. In addition, the
Bank sought approval to establish two (2) de novo full-service branches in
Amarillo, Texas, and an additional full-service branch in Dalhart, Texas. The
Dalhart branch, which was previously operated by the Bank as a loan production
office, opened on October 15, 1997. The two Amarillo branch locations opened on
January 29, 1998 and February 12, 1998, respectively.
5
<PAGE>
To support this physical expansion and growth in market presence, the Bank
hired approximately 45 additional employees between June 30, 1997 and March 31,
1998, bringing the current number of full-time equivalent employees to
approximately 54. Additional information regarding the increase in non-interest
expense of the Company associated with the larger employee base is provided at
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION -- Other Operating Income and Expense." Many of these persons
previously worked for Mr. Powell at The First National Bank of Amarillo or
Boatmen's First National Bank of Amarillo following the acquisition by Boatmen's
in 1994 and have significant banking experience in the Amarillo banking market.
In addition to increasing its physical presence in the Panhandle, the Bank
sought to increase its loan portfolio by enhancing existing customer relations,
aggressively advertising the "return" of The First National Bank of Amarillo,
and offering an expanded array of loan products, including agricultural loans.
See "Business - Lending Activities" for additional information regarding the
Bank's loan products.
Following completion of the Acquisition, and in anticipation of this
significant growth and physical expansion of the Company and the Bank, the
Company took steps to raise approximately $40 million in additional capital in a
community offering principally to residents in the Panhandle of Texas. The
intrastate offering to bona fide residents of the State of Texas was concluded
on August 31, 1997 with the offering being completely subscribed. Approximately
$37.4 million of this newly raised capital was contributed by the Company to the
Bank to support loan and deposit growth, a larger lending limit and to maintain
a capital base at a level that management of the Bank deemed sufficient to
maintain satisfactory capital ratios. Additional information regarding this
capital offering is set forth in Item 10 to this Registration Statement on Form
10.
A number of key factors which have been primarily attributable to the
recent and significant growth of the Company and the Bank following the
Acquisition include (1) the appointment of an experienced and knowledgeable
Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank, (2) the hiring of an experienced
management team and seasoned group of Bank employees, (3) formulation and
implementation of an aggressive business plan to be an active lending
institution and to penetrate key markets in the Texas Panhandle using, at least
initially, existing customer contacts and contacts known to the new management
team, and (4) a strong local economy. In addition, as the business of banking
is highly personalized, particularly in the markets served by the Bank, the Bank
attributes a great deal of its recent success to the efforts of the Bank's
enhanced staff who provide personalized banking services to the Bank's customers
and the aggressive advertising such highly personalized service to the Bank's
target market. One of the Bank's goals is to be the premier financial
institution in the Panhandle of Texas recognized for customer service, and the
delivery of personalized service has become one of the most recognizable
features of the Bank during the period following the Acquisition. In addition,
the Bank enjoys a unique position as one of the few locally-owned and operated
national banks in Amarillo, Texas. Accordingly, management attributes a portion
of its recent success on the Bank's ability to capitalize on the customer
disruption, dissatisfaction, and turnover which it believes has resulted from
the acquisition by out-of-state holding companies of a number of community banks
located in and around the Panhandle of Texas, including Amarillo, Texas.
6
<PAGE>
To some degree, banks and other financial institutions compete on the basis
of rates and service. While the Bank seeks to remain competitive with the
interest rates it charges on loans and offers on deposits, the Bank believes
that its recent success has been and will continue to be dependent on its
emphasis to community banking, customer service and personal relationships.
COMPETITION
The banking business in the Bank's trade area, which includes Amarillo,
Dalhart and Fritch, Texas, and surrounding areas within the Panhandle of
Texas, has become increasingly competitive over the past several years and
the level of competition facing the Company and the Bank may increase
further. The Company and the Bank experience competition in both lending and
attracting funds from other banks and non-bank financial institutions located
in their market area. Non-bank competitors with respect to deposits and
deposit-type accounts include savings and loan associations, credit unions,
securities firms, money market funds, life insurance companies and the mutual
funds industry. With respect to loans, the Bank encounters competition from
other banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies, insurance
companies, small loan and credit card companies, credit unions, pension
trusts and securities firms.
Recent legislation, court decisions and administrative actions have
expanded the areas of business activities in which bank and non-bank
financial institutions may engage. To the extent that such activities are
engaged in by others, the level of competition for the Company and the Bank
is expected to increase. Some competitors are not subject to the same degree
of regulation and supervision as the Company and the Bank.
Many of the banks and other financial institutions with which the
Company and Bank compete have capital resources and legal loan limits
substantially in excess of those maintained by the Company and Bank. Such
institutions can perform certain functions for their customers, including
trust, securities brokerage and international banking services, which the
Company and Bank presently do not offer directly. Although the Company may
offer these services through correspondent banks, the inability to provide
such services directly may be a competitive disadvantage.
The Company considers its principal competition in the commercial
banking business to be the other full service banks located in its primary
market areas. The products and services offered by the Company and its target
market are most similar to those of area banks and, to some extent, savings
associations.
The Bank seeks to provide a high level of personalized banking service
to professionals and owner-operated businesses, emphasizing quick and
flexible responses to customer demands. The Bank relies heavily on the
efforts of its officers, directors and existing shareholders for the
solicitation and referral of potential customers, and expects this to
continue for the foreseeable future.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
With its new management team in place, one of the Bank's main objectives is
to seek attractive lending opportunities in its service area. Accordingly, in
addition to offering a broad range of deposit services and products typically
available from most banks and savings associations, the
7
<PAGE>
Bank now offers a full range of retail and commercial credit services
designed to meet the borrowing needs of small- and medium-sized businesses
and customers located within the Bank's service area. Such loan products
include commercial loans (such as lines of credit, term loans, refinancings,
etc.), personal lines of credit, direct installment consumer loans,
residential mortgage loans, construction loans, and letters of credit.
Substantially all of the Bank's loans are made to borrowers located within
the Bank's service area, which includes the Panhandle of Texas. Occasionally,
however, the Bank may make loans in outside such market area and in
surrounding states.
The Bank conducts its lending activities pursuant to the loan policy
adopted by the Bank's Board of Directors. See "BUSINESS -- Loan Policies and
Underwriting Practices" for a discussion of the Bank's loan policy.
Substantially all of the loans in the Bank's portfolio have been originated by
the Bank. The Bank has no foreign loans or highly leveraged transaction loans in
its portfolio.
LOAN PORTFOLIO.
For purposes of this discussion, the Bank's loans are divided into four
categories: commercial loans, agriculture loans, real estate loans, and loans to
individuals, each of which is discussed below.
COMMERCIAL LOANS. The Bank's commercial loans are diversified to meet most
business needs. The commercial loans offered by the Bank include (i) commercial
real estate loans (discussed herein), (ii) short-term working capital and other
commercial loans, and (iii) construction loans (discussed herein). Credit
analysis of a commercial loan application involves a review of a number of
related factors including collateral, the type of loan, loan maturity, terms and
conditions and various loan to value ratios as they relate to the Bank's loan
policy. The Bank typically requires commercial borrowers to submit financial
statements at least annually. The Bank requires appraisals or evaluations in
connection with loans secured by real estate. Such appraisals or evaluations
are obtained prior to the time funds are advanced. The Bank also often requires
personal guarantees from principals involved with closely-held corporate
borrowers. Terms are generally granted commensurate with the useful life of the
collateral offered.
AGRICULTURE LOANS. Agricultural loans include loans to cattle feeding
operations, cattle producers, farmers and ranchers and other
agricultural-related borrowers. These loans are generally subject to the
credit analysis, financial statement and collateral requirements as mentioned
above under the discussion of commercial loans.
REAL ESTATE LOANS. Real estate loans are generally divided into three
categories: residential mortgage lending, construction loans and commercial
real estate loans, each of which is discussed in greater detail below.
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. The Bank's renewed interest in providing
residential mortgage loans was fueled by the following factors: (i) the
commitment of the Bank's new management team to engage in more traditional lines
of banking by providing this product, (ii) a strong real estate market and (iii)
low interest rates. Residential loan originations are generated by the Bank's
in-house originations staff, marketing efforts, present customers, walk-in
customers and referrals from real
8
<PAGE>
estate agents, mortgage brokers and builders. The Bank focuses its lending
efforts primarily on the origination of loans secured by first mortgages on
owner-occupied, 1-4 family residences. Substantially all of the Bank's 1-4
family residential mortgage originations are secured by properties located in
and around Amarillo, Texas. The Bank does not purchase residential mortgage
loans, but may sell loans it originates on the secondary market.
Residential mortgage products include conventional, fixed-rate loans with
terms that vary from a 15-year balloon to a 30-year fully amortized loan. The
Bank generally requires that loans secured by first mortgages on real estate
have loan to value ratios within specified limits, ranging from 60% for loans
secured by raw land to 95% for improved property.
The Bank reviews information concerning the income, financial condition,
employment and credit history when evaluating the creditworthiness of an
applicant.
CONSTRUCTION LOANS. The Bank's emphasis for construction loans is directed
toward properties that will be owner occupied. Occasionally, construction loans
for projects built on speculation are financed, but these typically have
substantial secondary sources of repayment. The Bank's construction loans are
secured by property located primarily in the Bank's market area and generally
have variable interest rates during the construction period. Construction loans
to individuals are typically made in connection with the granting of permanent
financing on the property. In determining whether to originate commercial real
estate loans, the Bank generally considers such factors as the financial
condition of the borrower and the debt service coverage of the borrower.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. Commercial real estate loans are used to
provide permanent financing for commercial and retail and office buildings,
warehouse facilities, churches and multiple-family buildings. The majority of
these loans are collateralized by owner occupied properties. Commercial loans
typically entail a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower,
the borrower's industry, debt service coverage of the borrower, and current and
projected economic conditions. Commercial real estate loans are made at both
fixed and adjustable interest rates for terms generally up to 15 years.
LOANS TO INDIVIDUALS. The Bank is becoming a major consumer lender in its
service area. Loans to individuals include personal loans and consumer loans,
which may be secured or unsecured depending on the credit quality and purpose of
the loan. The Bank requires loan applications and/or personal financial
statements from its personal borrowers on loans that the Bank originates. Loan
officers complete a debt to income analysis that should meet established
standards of Bank's lending policy. Consumer loan terms vary according to the
type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the
borrower. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans
include an application, a determination of the applicant's payment history on
other debts, with greatest weight being given to payment history with the Bank,
and an assessment of the borrower's ability to meet existing obligations and
payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a
primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of
the value of the collateral, if any, in relation to the proposed amount of the
loan. See "BUSINESS -- Loan Policies and Underwriting Practices."

Additional information regarding the various components of the Bank's loan
portfolio is provided under the caption "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Loan Portfolio."
RISK ELEMENTS.
The risk elements in the Company's loan portfolio are similar to those in
other comparable commercial banks. Risk elements related to loan categories are
as follows:
COMMERCIAL LOANS. Commercial loans include a variety of loans to
commercial entities, including loans to finance accounts receivable, inventories
and other business activities. Risk of nonperformance on these loans include
the risk the borrower's cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and
the risk that collateral will not be sufficient. Certain loans to qualified
borrowers may be unsecured. Risk of nonperformance on these loans include the
risk that the borrower's cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and
the risk that there is no or inadequate collateral.
AGRICULTURAL LOANS. These loans, in addition to risks similar to other
commercial loans as described above, may be susceptible to commodity market risk
and weather.
REAL ESTATE LOANS. Real estate loans represent the Bank's second greatest
concentration of loans, representing approximately 29% of the portfolio at
December 31, 1997. However, the amount of risk associated with this group of
loans is mitigated in part due to the type of loans involved. At December 31,
1997, the vast majority of the Bank's real estate loans were collateralized by
properties located in and around Amarillo, Texas, many of which are owner
occupied. Historically, the amount of losses suffered on owner occupied
properties has been small. Due to the volume of real estate loans contained in
the Bank's portfolio which are collateralized by owner occupied properties, and
the appraisal and other real estate lending policies in place that indicate the
value of the collateral for these loans, management does not consider the
potential impact of these loans on the loan loss reserve to be excessive, even
though real estate loans constitute a significant percentage of loans
outstanding. Management also pursues an aggressive policy of reappraisal on any
real estate loan that becomes troubled and potential exposures are recognized
and reserved for as soon as they are identified.
Real estate properties are particularly sensitive to general economic
conditions and experience devaluation when economic factors decline.
Accordingly, an increase in interest rates or softening of the real estate
market may have the effect of reducing demand for this product.
INSTALLMENT LOANS. Risk of nonperformance on these loans include the
risk the borrower's cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and
the risk that collateral will not be sufficient. Currently, the economy in
the Bank's service area appears stable. Management is, however, cognizant of
the nationwide increase in the personal bankruptcy rate, and management
expects this trend may some adverse effect on the Bank's net charge-offs.
Most of the Bank's loans to individuals are collateralized, which management
believes will limit the exposure in this area should current bankruptcy
trends continue.

LOAN POLICIES AND UNDERWRITING PRACTICES
GENERAL. The Bank's credit officers strive to accommodate all credit needs
of credit-worthy borrowers. Attempts are made, within the parameters set by the
Bank's loan policy, as discussed below, to make and structure loans designed to
generate future business for the Bank. The following is a general summary of
the underwriting practices and loan policies of the Bank:
LOAN POLICY. The Bank maintains a comprehensive loan policy that
establishes guidelines with respect to all categories of lending. In addition,
the loan policy sets forth lending authority for each credit officer to make
secured and unsecured loans in specific dollar amounts. Generally, larger loans
must be approved by senior credit officers or the Bank's Loan Committee.
Administration of the Bank's loan policy rests with the Bank's Loan
Committee and is administered in accordance with directives established by the
Bank's Board of Directors. The Loan Committee is comprised of four Senior Credit
Officers. The Committee reviews policy and procedures at least annually, or
more frequently as needed, and submits recommendations relative to the loan
policy to the Bank's Chief Executive Officer for review and approval. Ultimate
approval of the loan policy rests with the Bank's Board of Directors.
The Bank's primary lending area includes customers principally residing in
specified counties in Texas and, to a lesser extent, in portions of the
surrounding four states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico.
Other principals of the Bank's loan policy are described below:
- - The Bank will not engage in non-recourse lending unless the loan is
specifically approved in advance by the Loan Committee. Non-recourse
lending is defined as loans without any personal liability of the
principals of a borrowing entity when the collateral is the only source
of repayment. Although the Bank prefers to obtain guaranties of payment
from each principal of a closely held corporations, this is not
considered non-recourse lending if there is an additional source of
repayment other than the collateral.
- - If an applicant or loan application reflects a potential credit weakness,
adequate additional support, in the form of co-signers or enforceable
guarantees, are sought. However, these are seldom considered the primary
source of repayment and are, therefore, not heavily relied on by the Bank.
- - Credit officers are responsible for ascertaining the real market value of
any collateral taken on a loan. Appraisal reports or comparable sales
reports are used as guidelines only, and not as an absolute measure of
market value.
- - The Bank satisfies itself as to the repayment source of the borrower,
whether it is cash flow or liquidation of collateral associated with a
normal business cycle (e.g., sale of crops, cattle or inventory turnover).
11
<PAGE>
UNDERWRITING - COLLATERALIZATION. Collateralization is generally required
on all loans originated by the Bank. The guidelines for the maximum ratio of a
loan amount to the appraised value of collateral or to the acquisition cost is
dependent upon the type of loan. However, collateralization may not be required
if the borrower's documented financial condition and documented cash flow
indicate sufficient liquidity to service the loan. Collateralization usually
mirrors the purpose of the loan, i.e. real estate loans secured with the
corresponding real estate, working capital lines of credit are secured with the
current assets of the business, etc.
UNDERWRITING - LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIOS. Generally, a loan-to-value ratio
between 75% to 80% is considered by management of the Bank to be a safe and
prudent level in most lending circumstances. Certain types of loans offered by
the Bank, however, have specific guidelines regarding loan-to-value ratios and
collateralization. Some of these are discussed below.
ENERGY LOANS - OIL & GAS. Loans relating to energy should be
collateralized with proven producing properties having an appraised value equal
to twice the loan amount for non-amortizing revolving credit loans.
LIVESTOCK. General equity requirement will approximate 20%-25% of the
market value of the livestock as determined by lending personnel.
AGRICULTURE RELATED REAL ESTATE - FARM & RANCH. Generally, loan amounts in
this category should not exceed 75% of appraised value or cost, whichever is
less. Loans for feedyards generally should not exceed 75% of the appraised
value of the property, or an amount equal to $50 multiplied by the cattle
capacity of the yard. Loans with respect to other agricultural real estate
should not exceed 75% of the property's appraised value.
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION LOANS. Loan amounts generally should not exceed
65%-80% of appraised/evaluated value depending on whether the property is
presold or speculative.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION LOANS. Loans in this category
should not exceed 80% of the appraised value or 80% of builder's cost, whichever
is less.
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. Loans in this category should not exceed 95%
(for owner-occupied property) or 80% (for non-owner occupied property) of the
appraised/evaluated value or purchase price, whichever is the lesser amount.
As of December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with the regulatory and
supervisory limits associated with loan-to-value ratios of real estate loans.
UNDERWRITING - APPRAISAL POLICY. The determination of collateral value is
of critical importance in order to maintain the appropriate loan-to-value ratio.
The Bank's real estate appraisal policy is consistent with FIRREA, and the
Bank's appraisal practices are monitored by management to ensure compliance.
LOAN APPROVAL. Individual loan authorities, as set forth in the Bank's
loan policy, are established by the Bank's Board of Directors upon the
recommendation of the Bank's Chief
12
<PAGE>
Executive Officer. In establishing individual loan authority, the experience
level of the credit officer is taken into consideration, as well as the type
of lending in which the credit officer is involved. Under the Bank's current
loan policy, the Bank's Loan Committee, which is comprised of four senior
Credit Officers, reviews all loans. The Board of Directors reviews on a
monthly basis all commercial and residential loans approved by individual
credit officers and the Bank's Loan Committee over $50,000. All loans are
assigned a rating based on creditworthiness and are periodically monitored
for improvement or deterioration.
HIGH RISK LOANS. By extending loans in accordance with the principals
outlined above, the Bank does not believe that it generally makes higher risk
loans. Any loans considered high risk would not be significant at December 31,
1997.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Banking is a complex, highly regulated industry. The primary goals of
the bank regulatory scheme are to maintain a safe and sound banking system
and to facilitate the conduct of monetary policy. In furtherance of those
goals, Congress has created several largely autonomous regulatory agencies
and enacted myriad legislation that governs banks, bank holding companies and
the banking industry. Descriptions of and references to the statutes and
regulations below are brief summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete.
The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
specific statutes and regulations discussed.
THE COMPANY
As a bank holding company under the BHC Act, the Company is registered
with and is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Among other
things, applicable statutes and regulations require the Company to file
annual and other reports with and furnish information to the Federal Reserve,
which may make inspections of the Company.
The BHC Act provides that a bank holding company must obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve for the acquisition of more than five percent
(5%) of the voting stock or substantially all the assets of any bank or bank
holding company. The Company currently does not have any formal agreements or
commitments with respect to any such transaction. However, the Company
evaluates opportunities to invest in or acquire other banks or bank holding
companies as such opportunities arise and may engage in one or more such
transactions in the future. In addition, the BHC Act restricts the extension
of credit by the Bank to the Company. The BHC Act also provides that, with
certain exceptions, a bank holding company may not (i) engage in any
activities other than those of banking or managing or controlling banks and
other authorized subsidiaries or (ii) own or control more than five percent
(5%) of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank, including any
foreign company. A bank holding company is permitted, however, to acquire
shares of any company, the activities of which the Federal Reserve, after due
notice and opportunity for hearing, has determined to be so closely related
to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto. The Federal Reserve has issued regulations setting forth specific
activities that are permissible under that exception. The Company does not
currently have any agreements or commitments to engage in any such nonbanking
activities.
13
<PAGE>
In approving acquisitions by bank holding companies of banks and
companies engaged in banking-related activities, the Federal Reserve
considers whether the performance of any such activity by an affiliate of the
holding company can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public,
such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency,
that outweigh such possible adverse effects as undue consideration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices. The Federal Reserve has cease-and-desist powers over
parent holding companies and nonbanking subsidiaries where their actions
would constitute a serious threat to the safety, soundness or stability of a
subsidiary bank. Federal regulatory agencies also have authority to regulate
debt obligations (other than commercial paper) issued by bank holding
companies. That authority includes the power to impose interest ceilings and
reserve requirements on such debt obligations. A bank holding company and
its subsidiaries are also prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of
property or furnishing of services.
A bank holding company is also permitted to acquire shares of a company
which furnishes or performs services for a bank holding company and to
acquire shares of the kinds and in the amounts eligible for investment by
national banking associations. The Board of Directors of the Company has not
at this time made any plans to make such investments.
Federal banking law provides that a bank holding company may acquire or
establish banks in any state of the United States. In addition, the Texas
banking laws permit a bank holding company which owns stock of a bank located
outside the State of Texas (an "Out-of-State Bank Holding Company") to
acquire a bank or bank holding company located in Texas. Such acquisition
may occur only if the Texas bank to be directly or indirectly controlled by
the Out-of-State Bank Holding Company has existed and continuously operated
as a bank for a period of at least five (5) years. In any event, however, a
bank holding company may not own or control banks in Texas the deposits of
which would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total deposits of all
federally-insured deposits in Texas. The Board of Directors of the Company
has not at this time made any plans to acquire or establish banks in any
state other than Texas.
THE BANK
The Bank is subject to various requirements and restrictions under the
laws of the United States and the State of Texas, and to regulation,
supervision and regular examination by the Comptroller. The Bank is subject
to the power of the Comptroller to enforce compliance with applicable banking
statutes and regulations. Such requirements and restrictions include
requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the
nature and amount of loans may be made and the interest that may be charged
thereon and restrictions relating to investments and other activities of the
Bank.
DIVIDENDS. The Bank may generally pay dividends on its stock so long as
payment of such dividends is in compliance with applicable law and
regulation. A national bank may not pay dividends from its stated capital.
Additionally, if losses have been sustained at any time by a national bank
equal to or exceeding its undivided profits then on hand, no dividend can be
paid by the bank, and all dividends must be paid out of net profits then on
hand, after deducting expenses, including losses and provisions for loan
losses. The payment of dividends out of net profits of a national bank is
further
14
<PAGE>
limited by a provision of the National Bank Act that prohibits a
national bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of its stock until ten
percent of the bank's net profits are transferred to surplus each time
dividends are declared, unless such a transfer would increase the surplus of
the bank to an amount greater than the bank's capital. In addition, the
prior approval of the Comptroller is required if the total of all dividends
declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net
profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding
years, less any required transfers to surplus or to funds for the retirement
of any preferred stock. Additionally, under the provisions of 12 U.S. C.
Section 1818, the Comptroller has the right to prohibit the payment of
dividends by a national bank where such payment is deemed to be an unsafe and
unsound banking practice.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Among the federal legislation applicable
to the Bank, the Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the Competitive Equality
Banking Act of 1987, prohibits the Bank from engaging in specified
transactions (including, for example, loans) with certain affiliates unless
the terms and conditions of such transactions are substantially the same or
at least as favorable to such banks, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with or involving other non-affiliated entities. In
the absence of such comparable transactions, any transaction between a bank
and its affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit
standards, that in good faith would be offered or would apply to
non-affiliated companies. In addition, certain transactions, referred to as
"covered transactions," between the Bank and its affiliates may not exceed
ten percent of the Bank's capital, and surplus per affiliate and an aggregate
of twenty percent of its capital and surplus for covered transactions with
all affiliates. Certain transactions with affiliates, such as loans, also
must be secured by collateral of specific types and amounts. Finally, the
Bank is prohibited from purchasing low quality assets from an affiliate. The
Company is an affiliate of the Bank.
LOANS TO INSIDERS. Federal law also constrains the types and amounts of
loans that any bank may make to its respective executive officers, directors
and principal shareholders. Among other things, such loans must be approved
by the Bank's Board of Directors in advance and must be on terms and
conditions as favorable to the Bank as those available to unrelated persons.
REGULATION OF LENDING ACTIVITIES. Loans made by the Bank are also
subject to numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including
truth-in-lending statutes, the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, the
Texas Consumer Credit Code, Texas Consumer Protection Code, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and adjustable
rate mortgage disclosure requirements. Remedies to the borrower and
penalties to the Bank are provided for failure of the Bank to comply with
such laws and regulations. The scope and requirements of such laws and
regulations have expanded significantly in recent years.
BRANCH BANKING. Pursuant to the Texas Finance Code, all banks located
in the State of Texas are authorized to branch statewide. Accordingly, a
bank located anywhere in Texas has the ability, subject to regulatory
approval, to establish branch facilities near any of the Bank's facilities
and within its market areas. If other banks were to establish branch
facilities near the Bank or any of its facilities, it is uncertain whether
such branch facilities would have a materially adverse effect on the business
of the Bank.
In addition, in 1994 Congress adopted the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking
and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Reigle Act"). That statute
provides for nationwide interstate banking
15
<PAGE>
and branching. During 1995, the Texas legislature elected to opt out of the
branching provisions under the Reigle Act which had the effect of prohibiting
banks located in states other than Texas from branching across the Texas
border. Similarly, banks located in Texas were generally prohibited from
opening branches outside of Texas. The Texas legislature's unanimous
decision to opt out of the interstate branching provisions of the Reigle Act
was originally intended to be effective until 1999 when the issue will be
revisited in the 1999 session.
The decision to opt out of interstate branching, however, did not and does
not affect the ability of an out-of-state bank holding company to directly or
indirectly acquire a separately chartered bank located in Texas. Currently, a
number of out-of-state bank holding companies operate in markets served by the
Bank. The Bank considers its principal market area to be the Panhandle of North
Texas, and management currently does not have any plans to establish a branch
network beyond the borders of Texas. Accordingly, the effect of the Texas
legislature's decision to opt out of the branching provisions of the Reigle Act
has not had a material effect on the competitive position of the Bank or the
Company.
In light of recent developments in a lawsuit filed in Federal district
court involving NationsBank Corporation's successful attempt to branch across
the borders of Texas, the Commissioner of the Texas Banking Department issued
a press release on May 13, 1998 announcing that the Texas Department of
Banking will begin accepting applications regarding interstate merger and
interstate branching transactions for all state-chartered institutions. The
Commissioner's recent decision is designed to afford competitive parity for
state-chartered institutions that compete with federally chartered
institutions (such as national banks) in Texas.
Given that the Bank's primary service area is within the State of Texas, it
is not anticipated that these recent developments will have any material effect
on the business conducted by the Bank or its competitive position in its primary
markets.
GOVERNMENTAL MONETARY POLICIES. The commercial banking business is
affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary
policies of the Federal Reserve. Changes in the discount rate on member bank
borrowings, control of borrowings, control of borrowings at the "discount
window," open market operations, the imposition of and changes in reserve
requirements against member banks, deposits and assets of foreign branches,
the imposition of and changes in reserve requirements against certain
borrowings by banks and their affiliates, and the placing of limits on
interest rates which member banks may pay on time and savings deposits are
some of the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve.
Those monetary policies influence to a significant extent the overall growth
of the bank loans, investments and deposits and the interest rates charged on
loans or paid on time and savings deposits. The nature of future monetary
policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings
of the Bank, therefore, cannot be predicted accurately.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY. In 1983, Congress enacted the International Lending
Supervision Act, which, among other things, directed the Comptroller to
establish minimum levels of capital for national banks and to require
national banks to achieve and maintain adequate capital. Pursuant to this
authority, the Comptroller has promulgated capital adequacy regulations to
which all national banks, such as the Bank, are subject.
16
<PAGE>
The Comptroller's capital adequacy regulations are based upon a risk
based capital determination, whereby a bank's capital adequacy is determined
in light of the risk, both on- and off-balance sheet, contained in the bank's
assets. Different categories of assets are assigned risk weightings and,
based thereon, are counted at a percentage (from 0% to 100%) of their book
value. The regulations divide capital between Tier 1 capital, or core
capital, and Tier 2 capital, or supplemental capital. Tier I capital
consists primarily of common stock, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock,
related surplus and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries.
Goodwill and certain other intangibles are excluded from Tier 1 capital.
Tier 2 capital consists of varying percentages of the allowance for loan and
lease losses, all other types of preferred stock not included in Tier 1
capital, hybrid capital instruments and term subordinated debt. Investments
in and loans to unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries that
constitute capital of those subsidiaries, are excluded from capital. The sum
of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital constitutes qualifying total capital. The Tier
1 component must comprise at least 50.00% of qualifying total capital.
Every national bank has to maintain a certain ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk weighted assets (a "Core Capital Ratio") and a ratio of Tier 1 plus Tier
2 capital to risk weighted assets (a "Risk-Based Capital Ratio"). All banks
are required to achieve and maintain a minimum Core Capital Ratio of at least
4.00% and a minimum Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8.00%.
As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's Core Capital Ratio was 29.21% and
its Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 30.47%. In addition, national banks are
generally required to achieve and maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least
4.00%. As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's Leverage Ratio was 28.31%.
FIRREA. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act
("FIRREA"), enacted in 1989, includes various provisions that affect or may
affect the Bank. Among other things, FIRREA generally permits bank holding
companies to acquire healthy thrifts as well as failed or failing thrifts.
FIRREA also removed certain cross-marketing prohibitions previously
applicable to thrift and bank subsidiaries of a common holding company.
Furthermore, a multi-bank holding company may now be required to indemnify
the federal deposit insurance fund against losses it incurs with respect to
such company's affiliated banks, which in effect makes a bank holding
company's equity investments in healthy bank subsidiaries available to the
Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the "FDIC") to assist such company's
failing or failed bank subsidiaries.
In addition, pursuant to FIRREA, any depository institution that has
been chartered less than two years, has undergone a change in control within
the last two years, is not in compliance with the minimum capital
requirements of its primary federal banking regulator, or is otherwise in a
troubled condition must notify its primary federal banking regulator of the
proposed addition of any person to the board of directors or the employment
of any person as a senior executive officer of the institution at least 30
days before such addition or employment becomes effective. During such
30-day period, the applicable federal banking regulatory agency may
disapprove of the addition of employment of such director or officer. The
Bank is not presently subject to any such requirements.
FIRREA also expands and increases civil and criminal penalties available
for use by the appropriate regulatory agency against certain
"institution-affiliated parties" primarily including (i) management,
employees and agents of a financial institution, as well as (ii) independent
contractors
17
<PAGE>
such as attorneys and accountants and others who participate in the conduct
of the financial institution's affairs and who caused or are likely to cause
more than minimum financial loss to or a significant adverse affect on the
institution, who knowingly or recklessly violate a law or regulation, breach
a fiduciary duty or engage in unsafe or unsound practices. Such practices
can include the failure of an institution to timely file required reports or
the submission of inaccurate reports. Furthermore, FIRREA authorizes the
appropriate banking agency to issue cease and desist orders that may, among
other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a
violation or practice, including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications
or guarantees against loss. A financial institution may also be ordered to
restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets or take other action as
determined by the ordering agency to be appropriate. As a result, the
Comptroller now has greater enforcement power than it has had since
deregulation of the banking industry in 1978.
THE FDIC IMPROVEMENT ACT. The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, enacted on
December 19, 1991, ("FDICIA") makes a number of reforms addressing the safety
and soundness of the deposit insurance system, supervision of domestic and
foreign depository institutions, and improvement of accounting standards.
This statute also limits deposit insurance coverage, implements changes in
consumer protection laws and calls for least-cost resolution and prompt
regulatory action with regard to troubled institutions.
FDICIA requires every national bank with total assets in excess of
$500,000,000 to have an annual independent audit made of the bank's financial
statements by a certified public accountant to verify that the financial
statements of the bank are presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and comply with such other disclosure requirements as
prescribed by the Comptroller.
FDICIA also places certain restrictions on activities of banks depending
on their level of capital. FDICIA divides banks into five different
categories, depending on their level of capital. Under regulations recently
adopted by the Comptroller, a bank is deemed to be "well capitalized" if it
has a total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.00% or more, a Core Capital Ratio
of 6.00% or more and a Leverage Ratio of 5.00% or more, and the bank is not
subject to an order or capital directive to meet and maintain a certain
capital level. Under such regulations, a bank is deemed to be "adequately
capitalized" if it has a total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8.00% or more, a
Core Capital Ratio of 4.00% or more and a Leverage Ratio of 4.00% or more
(unless it receives the highest composite rating at its most recent
examination and is not experiencing or anticipating significant growth, in
which instance it must maintain a Leverage Ratio of 3.00% or more). Under
such regulations, a bank is deemed to be "undercapitalized" if it has a total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 8.00%, a Core Capital Ratio of less
than 4.00% or a Leverage Ratio of less than 4.00%. Under such regulations, a
bank is deemed to be "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a Risk-Based
Capital Ratio of less than 6.00%, a Core Capital Ratio of less than 3.00% and
a Leverage Ratio of less than 3.00%. Under such regulations, a bank is deemed
to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a Leverage Ratio of less than
or equal to 2.00%. In addition, the Comptroller has the ability to downgrade
a bank's classification (but not to "critically undercapitalized") based on
other considerations even if the Bank meets the capital guidelines. According
to these guidelines, the Bank was classified as "well capitalized" as of
December 31, 1997.
18
<PAGE>
In addition, if a national bank is classified as undercapitalized, the
bank is required to submit a capital restoration plan to the Comptroller.
Pursuant to FDICIA, an undercapitalized national bank is prohibited from
increasing its assets, engaging in a new line of business, acquiring any
interest in any company or insured depository institution, or opening or
acquiring a new branch office, except under certain circumstances, including
the acceptance by the Comptroller of a capital restoration plan for the bank.
Furthermore, if a national bank is classified as undercapitalized, the
Comptroller may take certain actions to correct the capital position of the
bank; if a bank is classified as significantly undercapitalized or critically
undercapitalized, the Comptroller would be REQUIRED to take one or more
prompt corrective actions. These actions would include, among other things,
requiring: (i) sales of new securities to bolster capital; (ii) improvements
in management; (iii) limits on interest rates paid; (iv) prohibitions on
transactions with affiliates; (v) termination of certain risky activities;
and (vi) restrictions on compensation paid to executive officers. If a
national bank is classified as critically undercapitalized, FDICIA requires
the bank to be placed into conservatorship or receivership within ninety (90)
days, unless the Comptroller and the FDIC concur that other action would
better achieve the purposes of FDICIA regarding prompt corrective action with
respect to undercapitalized banks.
The capital classification of a bank affects the frequency of
examinations of the bank and impacts the ability of the bank to engage in
certain activities and affects the deposit insurance premiums paid by such
bank. Under FDICIA, the Comptroller is required to conduct a full-scope,
on-site examination of every national bank at least once every twelve months.
An exception to this rule is made, however, that provides that national
banks (i) with assets of less than $100,000,000, (ii) are categorized as
"well capitalized," (iii) were found to be well managed and its composite
rating was outstanding and (iv) has not been subject to a change in control
during the last twelve months, need only be examined by the Comptroller once
every eighteen months.
Under FDICIA, banks may be restricted in their ability to accept
brokered deposits, depending on their capital classification. "Well
capitalized" banks are permitted to accept brokered deposits, but all banks
that are not well capitalized are not permitted to accept such deposits. The
FDIC may, on a case-by-case basis, permit banks that are adequately
capitalized to accept brokered deposits if the FDIC determines that
acceptance of such deposits would not constitute an unsafe or unsound banking
practice with respect to the bank.
In addition, under FDICIA, the FDIC is authorized to assess insurance
premiums on a bank's deposits at a variable rate depending on the probability
that the deposit insurance fund will incur a loss with respect to the bank.
(Under prior law, the deposit insurance assessment was a flat rate,
regardless of the likelihood of loss.) In this regard, the FDIC has issued
regulations for a transitional risk-based deposit assessment that determines
the deposit insurance assessment rates on the basis of the bank's capital
classification and supervisory evaluations. Each of these categories have
three subcategories, resulting in nine assessment risk classifications. The
three subcategories with respect to capital are "well capitalized,"
"adequately capitalized" and "less than adequately capitalized (which would
include "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically
undercapitalized" banks). The three subcategories with respect to
supervisory concerns are "healthy," "supervisory concern" and "substantial
supervisory concern." A bank is deemed "healthy" if it is financially sound
with only a few minor weaknesses. A bank is deemed subject to "supervisory
concern" if it has
19
<PAGE>
weaknesses that, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration
of the bank and increased risk to the Bank Insurance Fund. A bank is deemed
subject to "substantial supervisory concern" if it poses a substantial
probability of loss to the Bank Insurance Fund.
The federal banking agencies have established guidelines, effective
August 9, 1995, which prescribe standards for depository institutions
relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems,
loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset
growth, and management compensation. The agencies may require an institution
which fails to meet the standards set forth in the guidelines to submit a
compliance plan. The agencies are also currently proposing standards for
asset quality and earnings. The Company cannot predict what effect such
guidelines will have on the Bank.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE. The Bank's deposits are insured up to $100,000 per
insured account by the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC (the "BIF"). As an
institution whose deposits are insured by BIF, the Bank will be required to
pay deposit insurance premiums to BIF in the amount of approximately $17,000
for the first two quarters of 1998. The Bank's deposit insurance assessments
may increase depending upon the risk category and subcategory, if any, to
which the Bank is assigned by the FDIC. Any increase in insurance
assessments could have an adverse effect on the Bank's earnings.
INTERSTATE BANKING LEGISLATION. The Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and
Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was enacted into law on September 29, 1994
(the "Reigle Act"). Such statute provides for nationwide interstate banking,
but does permit each state to make an election as to whether such state will
permit interstate branching. During its 1995 term, the Texas legislature
passed legislation providing that interstate branching would not be permitted
in Texas until at least 1999. A discussion of the interestate branching
provisions of the Reigle Act in the context of the Texas legislature's
decision to opt out is provided under the caption "Supervision and
Regulation--Branch Banking". Interstate banking (e.g., out-of-state holding
companies acquiring Texas financial institutions), however, cannot be
prohibited and must be permitted by all the states, subject to certain
permissible state law limitations on the ages of the banks to be acquired and
limitations on the total amount of deposits within a state that a bank
holding company is permitted to control.
Management of the Company and the Bank cannot predict what other
legislation might be enacted or what other regulations might be adopted or
the effects thereof.
THE FOREGOING IS AN ATTEMPT TO SUMMARIZE SOME OF THE RELEVANT LAWS,
RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING NATIONAL BANKS AND BANK HOLDING COMPANIES,
BUT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE SUMMARY OF ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES
AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING BANKS AND BANK HOLDING COMPANIES.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
To date, the Company has not been required to perform any investigation
or clean up activities, nor has it been subject to any environmental claims.
There can be no assurance, however, that this will remain the case in the
future. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company from
20
<PAGE>
time to time forecloses on properties securing loans. There is a risk that
the Company could be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic
substances or chemical releases at such properties after acquisition by the
Company, and could be held liable to a governmental entity or to third
parties for property damage, personal injury, and investigation and cleanup
costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. The
costs of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be
substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly
remediate such property, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or
rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. Persons
who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances
also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances
at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned
or operated by such person. In addition, the owner or former owners of a
contaminated site may be subject to common law claims by third parties
based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination
emanating from such property.
In the course of its business, the Company may acquire properties as a
result of foreclosure. There is a risk that hazardous or toxic waste could
be found on such properties. In such event, the Company could be held
responsible for the cost of cleaning up or removing such waste, and such cost
could exceed the value of the underlying properties.
EMPLOYEES
The Company is a bank holding company and primarily conducts its
operations through its subsidiary, the Bank. The Company has no paid
employees. Certain Bank employees and directors conduct the Company's
business, but are not specifically compensated as Company employees. As of
March 6, 1998, the Bank had 69 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees.
Employees are provided with employee benefits, such as life and health
insurance plans. The Bank's employees are not represented by any collective
bargaining group. The Bank considers its relations with such employees to be
good.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's and the Bank's growth and development since completion of
the Acquisition on May 23, 1997 has been largely dependent upon the services
of Donald E. Powell, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer. The loss of Mr. Powell's services for any reason could have a
material adverse effect on the Company and the Bank.

</TABLE>
The Bank's growth in loans and deposits during 1997 is primarily
attributable the Bank's relocation of its main office from Fritch, Texas, to
the larger Amarillo, Texas banking market, which is a more economically
vibrant banking market than Fritch, Texas. In addition, deposit and loan
22
<PAGE>
growth can be attributable to the new management team, which has emphasized
growth from the Bank's existing client base and capitalizing opportunities
from its target market (e.g., customers of competing financial institutions),
and the delivery of personalized banking services to the Bank's customers.
In addition, the Bank's loan growth is attributable to the Bank's aggressive
commercial lending program and its virtual re-emergence into agricultural and
real estate lending and strong emphasis on the commercial loan market. See
Item 1. "BUSINESS--General--Change in Management and Competitive Focus" for
additional information regarding the various factors attributable to the
Bank's recent growth.
Growth in total assets during 1997 is primarily attributable to the
increase in the Bank's loan portfolio, which was supported by a significant
capital infusion following completion of a stock offering by the Company
during 1997. See Item 10 to this Registration Statement on Form 10 for
additional information regarding the stock offering.
The increase in interest income attributable to the larger loan
portfolio and the slight increase in non-interest income was offset by
increases in interest expense and noninterest expense coupled with a larger
provision for loan losses, which increase in the provision was deemed
necessary by management in light of the significant increase in the Bank's
loan portfolio. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses"
for additional information regarding the increased provision for loan losses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations of the Company analyzes the major elements of the Company's
consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. This section
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes and other detailed financial information
included herein.
GENERAL
The Company is a one-bank holding company that commenced operations on
December 31, 1983. The Bank, the Company's only subsidiary, originally began
operations as Fritch State Bank on April 10, 1965.
Ownership of the Bank constitutes the major activity of the Company.
Activities of the Company are limited and are set forth in Note 11 of the notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included with this
Registration Statement on Form 10. Accordingly, unless specifically noted
herein, the activities of the Company as described in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Operations are virtually indistinguishable from those
activities of the Bank.
As more fully discussed in Item 1 to this Registration Statement on Form 10
under the caption "General", composition of the management team of each of the
Company and the Bank changed significantly in 1997, and the new management team
significantly changed the geographic, product and service focus of the Bank.
Prior management of the Bank generally limited loans to selected commercial and
consumer installment loans, which loans comprised less than 10% of average
assets. Limited real estate lending was performed, and agricultural loans were
made only on a exception basis. During 1997, however, the new management team
changed the lending philosophy of the Bank to a more traditional commercial
banking activity. Accordingly, loans at year-end 1997 represented approximately
62% of average total assets, as compared to approximately 9% at December 31,
1996.
The new management team's philosophy in growing the loan portfolio was to
hire experienced loan officers (nine such loan officers were hired in 1997),
primarily from one large competing financial institution in the Amarillo market,
and for those loan officers to aggressively grow the Bank's lending customers
base. Although management aggressively sought new customers, it was, and
continues to be, selective in deciding which loan customers to pursue so as to
operate in a safe and sound manner in accordance with the Bank's loan policy.
Accordingly, management believes that the Bank's loan portfolio growth has been
achieved without relaxing credit underwriting policies. A discussion of the
Bank's loan policy, including a discussion of underwriting standards, is
discussed at length in Item 1 "BUSINESS -- Loan Policies and Underwriting
Practices" to this Registration Statement on Form 10.
Deposit growth was significant during 1997 and was primarily fueled by the
addition of customers gained through the process mentioned above, and by the
Bank's ability to attract deposits because of the reputation of the management
team and the name recognition of "The First National Bank of Amarillo" in the
Bank's market. The Bank does not offer above market rates on its deposits and
has no "brokered" deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company experienced a net loss was $1,981,415 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to earnings of $38,847 and $205,656 for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Earnings for 1997,
1996 and 1995 were significantly influenced by activity in the allowance for
loan losses, as discussed below. The return on average assets for 1997, 1996
and 1995 was (3.57)%, 0.21% and 1.11%, respectively, and return on average
equity was (15.13)%, 1.90% and 10.86%, respectively.
The decline in return on average assets and average equity from 1996 to
1997 is primarily attributable to an increased loan loss provision which is more
fully discussed on page 28 under the caption "Other Operating Income and
Expenses". The provision for loan losses in 1996 was approximately $97,000 in
comparison to the 1997 provision of $2,700,000. The larger provision in 1997
was made in connection with the substantial growth in the loan portfolio of
approximately $115 million (representing an increase of 8,154% over the prior
year). With the aforementioned growth in loans in 1997, management believed
that the allowance for loan losses should grow also. Accordingly, management
made a subjective determination of the allowance based on their banking
experience and knowledge, comparison to other peers, and an intentional effort
to be conservative. Management expects that appropriate, additional future
provisions will be made as the loan portfolio grows.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The largest component of operating income is net interest income, which
is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on
deposits. Net interest income is determined by the rates earned on the
Company's interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing
liabilities, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, and the degree of mismatch and the maturity and
repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.
During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 net interest
income was $2,759,399, $630,340 and $638,720, respectively. The increase in
net interest income from 1996 to 1997 of $2,129,059 (337.8%) is primarily due
to an increase in average interest-earning assets of approximately
$33,651,000, net of an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of
approximately $16,715,000. The decrease in net interest income from 1995 to
1996 of $8,380 (1.3%) is primarily attributable to a slight decrease in the
net interest spread, the difference between the yield on earning assets and
the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, from 3.01% in 1995 to 2.93% in
1996.
The following table sets forth the average consolidated balance sheets
of the Company and subsidiary for the past three years along with an analysis
of net interest earnings for each major category of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, the average yield or rate paid on each
category and net yield on interest-earning assets:

OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other Operating Income. Other operating income for 1997 increased by
$43,605 (37.0%) because of increased activity on deposit accounts. Other
operating income for 1996 decreased $18,685 (13.7%) compared to 1995.
Certain subsequent recoveries on bonds that were written down by
approximately $39,000 occurred during 1995.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES. During 1997, other operating expenses
increased by $1,636,055 (270.2%). The increase in operating expenses was
primarily attributable to the overall growth of the Company, including an
increase of 45 full-time equivalent employees from 1996 to 1997 (which
accounted for approximately $690,000 of the increase in operating expenses),
increases in costs to conduct banking operations (which accounted for
approximately $670,000 of the increase in operating expenses) and expenses
related to the Bank's change in domicile and charter (which accounted for
approximately $275,000 of the increase in operating expenses). During 1996,
other operating expenses increased $59,151 (10.8%) over 1995. The increase
was primarily attributable to additional compensation of approximately
$57,000 related to the transfer of an insurance policy to the Bank's
president.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Company in its management of the investment
portfolio is to maintain a portfolio of high quality, relatively liquid
investments with competitive returns. During 1997, the
27
<PAGE>
weighted average yield on taxable securities was 6.61% as compared to 6.58%
during 1996. The Company primarily invests in U.S. Treasury securities and
other U.S. government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
During 1997, total loans increased by approximately $118,450,000 from
$1,544,990 at December 31, 1996 to $119,995,205 at December 31, 1997. For the
years 1993 through 1996, total loans were in the range of $1.5 to $1.9 million.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, net loans accounted for 80.9% and 7.8%,
respectively, of total assets. The growth in the loan portfolio during 1997 was
primarily attributable to previously discussed change of ownership of the
Company and the Bank, the change in management following completion of the
Acquisition and, as a result of such management change, the Bank's renewed
emphasis in lending as an important function of the Bank and recognition of the
importance of loans in the overall asset mix of the Bank.
Prior management of the Bank generally limited loans to selected commercial
and consumer installment loans, which portfolio of loans comprised less than 10%
of total average assets. The Bank conducted limited real estate lending, due
primarily to the stagnant economy in the Bank's primary market, and agricultural
loans were made only on a exceptional basis. During 1997, however, the Bank
relocated to the larger and more economically viable Amarillo market, and new
management
28
<PAGE>
changed the Bank's lending philosophy to be more closely resemble a
traditional commercial banking business. In order to accomplish its goal of
growing the Bank's loan portfolio, management hired nine experienced loan
officers in 1997, primarily from one competing financial institution in
Amarillo. These loan officers were successful in generating new business from
existing customers of the Bank as well as generating new customer relationships
for the Bank. As a result, at December 31, 1997, loans represented
approximately 62% of total average assets, as compared to less than 10% of total
average assets at December 31, 1996. Although taking an aggressive posture in
growing the loan portfolio, management was careful to build a portfolio
consistent with the underwriting parameters set forth in the Bank's loan policy.
Accordingly, management believes that the significant growth in the Bank's loan
portfolio during 1997 has been achieved without relaxing credit underwriting
policies.
Growth in the loan portfolio, as discussed above, also resulted in a
significant change in the portfolio mix. The loan portfolio in 1996 consisted
primarily of commercial loans (representing approximately 36% of total loans)
and installment loans (representing approximately 53% of total loans). With the
change in philosophy as described above, agribusiness and real estate lending
activity increased from 0% and 11% of the loan portfolio, respectively, at
December 31, 1996, to approximately 13% and 29% of total loans, respectively, at
December 31, 1997. The mix of commercial loans remained relatively stable as a
percent of the loan portfolio during the period from December 31, 1996 to
December 31, 1997. Even though the total amount of installment loans increased
by $23,536,709 from $822,872 at December 31, 1996 to $24,359,581 at December 31,
1997, the mix of installment loans in the loan portfolio declined from
approximately 53% at December 31, 1996 to approximately 20% of total loans at
December 31, 1997, as a result of increased activity in other components to the
portfolio described above.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996 net loans accounted for 80.9% and 7.8%,
respectively, of total assets. The increase from 1996 to 1997 was primarily
attributable to the previously discussed change of bank ownership, management
and philosophy.
The amount of loans outstanding at the indicated dates are shown in the
following table according to type of loans:

The Bank has no specific policies regarding "rollover" of short-term
loans in its portfolio. Although some loans are expected to be renewed at
maturity, the Bank evaluates each maturing loan on a case-by-case basis to
determine whether the loan should be renewed or whether the borrower should
be requested to pay-off the loan at maturity. The Bank is unable to
reasonably estimate the dollar amount of loans maturing during 1998 which may
be ultimately be renewed.

At December 31, 1997, the Bank had no foreign loans outstanding and no loan
concentrations, except for those indicated in the first table under "Loan
Portfolio," exceeding 10 percent of total loans.
Management believes all material restructured loans have been identified
based upon the Bank's loan data system and management's awareness of the loan
files and customer contact.
The Company has developed policies and procedures for evaluating the
overall quality of its credit portfolio and the timely identification of
potential problem credits. Management's judgment as to the adequacy of the
allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events which it
believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there
can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the
allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan-loss
allowance will not be required. Activity in the allowance for loan losses
for 1997, 1996 and 1995 had a significant impact on earnings.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are recorded as the
provision for loan losses on the Company's statements of earning, are made
periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on
management's analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. The
amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the
level of nonperforming loans, historical loan-loss experience, the amount of
loan losses actually charged off or recovered during a given period, and
current and anticipated economic conditions. The Company believes that it is
conservative in the identification and charge off of problems and in certain
instances, the Company has received recoveries on loans that were previously
charged off.
At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the allowance for loan losses was
$2,748,418, $45,200 and $22,574, respectively, which represented 2.29% 3.09%
and 1.21% of outstanding loans at
32
<PAGE>
those respective dates. This compares to peer group percentages of the
allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans of 1.47% 1.74% and 1.70% for
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During 1997, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of
$2,700,000. The provision was made in connection with the growth of the loan
portfolio of $115,683,550 (8,154.1%). The increase in loans is attributable
to the change in ownership and an aggressive posture taken by management to
grow the Company. During the year, the Company hired nine new, experienced
loan officers who were successful in originating many loans.
Determination of the Company's amount of the provision for loan
losses during 1997 was somewhat unique. Prior management of the Company
generally limited its lending activity to commercial and consumer installment
loans, and the loan portfolio constituted less than 10% of average total
assets of the Bank. Because of significant growth in the loan portfolio
during 1997, new management believed that the allowance for loan losses
should grow also. Determining an appropriate level of allowance for loan loss
and provision for loan loss was unique because, given management's decision
to offer a broader range of loan products and to deploy more of the Bank's
assets in loans, the Company had no relevant historical loss history to
benchmark against. Accordingly, management made a subjective determination of
the proper level of allowance based on collective banking experiences,
knowledge of the market and conditions, comparison to other peers, and an
intentional effort to be conservative during this growth phase. Management
believes that appropriate underwriting practices were adhered to in the
origination of new loans during 1997, and although the Company had no
impaired, potential problem, or nonperforming loans at December 31, 1997,
management recognizes that losses are often inherent in the lending process.
Accordingly, management believes that loan losses should be provided for as
the loan portfolio grows, even if specific problem loans are not yet
identified. Management is also concerned that, while economic conditions are
currently good, it is possible for such conditions to change in the
foreseeable future and that making conservative provisions was prudent. The
allowance is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the near term
because of changes in economic conditions or review by regulatory examiners.
Management expects that appropriate, additional future provisions will be
made as the loan portfolio grows.
During 1996, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of
approximately $97,000. In the first quarter of 1996, information came to
light during an FDIC regulatory exam of the Bank regarding a certain $175,000
loan participation, and the Company recorded a provision of approximately
$19,000 related to such participation. Subsequent to March 31, 1996, the
loan participation continued to deteriorate and additional provisions of
approximately $60,000 were made. In late fiscal 1996, a settlement payment
of $52,000 was received and the remaining outstanding balance of
approximately $79,000 was charged off.
In fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, a credit provision to the
allowance for loan losses of $(79,963) was recognized. During 1995, the
Company received approximately $72,000 on a loan that had previously been
charged off. After this recovery, the Company reduced the allowance for loan
loss to management's best estimate of the adequacy of such allowance to
absorb possible losses on existing loans based on an assessment of general
loan-loss risk and asset quality as described above.
33
<PAGE>
The allowance for loan losses is not specifically allocated among the
various categories of loans in the portfolio, and management is unable to
predict with any degree of certainty the anticipated amount of charge-offs by
loan category that may occur in 1998.
At December 31, 1997, 1996 or 1995, there were no significant impaired
loans or loans delinquent greater than 90 days.
Accrual of interest is discontinued on loans when management believes,
after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts,
that a borrower's financial condition is such that the collection of interest
is doubtful. A delinquent loan is generally placed in nonaccrual status when
it becomes 90 days or more past due. At the time a loan is placed in
nonaccrual status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan but
remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of
reported interest income. No additional interest is accrued on the loan
balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes
reasonably certain.
Management's policy is to charge-off loans when it determines that the
outstanding principal on the loan is considered uncollectible. Loans
charged-off do not necessarily mean that a loan has absolutely no recovery or
salvage value; rather when management decides to charge off a loan,
management has determined that it is no longer practical or desirable to
defer writing off the loan even though partial recovery may eventually be
effected in the future.
Charge-offs during the period from 1993 to 1997 arose primarily because
of the charge-off of a single loan in a principal amount of approximately
$79,000 during 1996. As previously noted in this section, this problem loan
both came to light and was charged-off during the 1996 year. Therefore, no
associated nonaccrual loan was reported at the beginning or end of 1996. The
remaining charge-offs during this period related to small consumer loans and
were not deemed material to the financial condition of the Company.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS. A potential problem loan is one in which
management has serious doubts about the borrower's future performance under
the terms of the loan contract. These loans are current as to principal and
interest and, accordingly, they are not included in nonperforming assets
categories. At December 31, 1997, the Company had no material loans
considered by management to be potential problem loans. The level of
potential problem loans is one factor to be used in the determination of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
DEPOSITS AND OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
DEPOSITS. Average total deposits were $42,234,780, $16,529,450 and
$16,647,797 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Average
interest-bearing deposits were $30,340,761 in 1997 as compared to $13,626,215
in 1996 and $13,579,386 in 1995.

for 1997, 1996 and 1995:
<TABLE>

Average equity to average asset ratio 23.59 % 10.96% 10.17%
Dividend payout ratio to net income 0.00 % 0.00% 0.00%
</TABLE>
The decline in return on average assets and average equity from 1996 to
1997 is primarily attributable to an increased loan loss provision which is
more fully discussed on page 28 under the caption "Other Operating Income and
Expenses". The provision for loan losses in 1996 was approximately $97,000
in comparison to the 1997 provision of $2,700,000. The larger provision in
1997 was made in connection with the substantial growth in the loan portfolio
of approximately $115 million (representing an increase of 8,154% over the
prior year). With the aforementioned growth in loans in 1997, management
believed that the allowance for loan losses should grow also. Accordingly,
management made a subjective determination of the allowance based on their
banking experience and knowledge, comparison to other peers, and an
intentional effort to be conservative. Management expects that appropriate,
additional future provisions will be made as the loan portfolio grows.

BORROWED FUNDS
The Company had no borrowed funds at December 31, 1997, 1996 or 1995.
CAPITAL
The cornerstone of the Company's capital structure is its common stock,
which represents 100% of total capitalization at December 31, 1997. The
Company's equity base was strengthened significantly during 1997 through the
issuance of common stock in an intra-state offering to bona fide residents of
the State of Texas completed on August 31, 1997. The Company raised
approximately $40 million in new capital in this offering. Additional
details regarding the common stock offering are set forth in Item 11 to this
Registration Statement on Form 10. The cash raised from the stock offering
was used primarily to increase the capital base of the Bank in order to
support physical expansion of the Bank and significant growth in the Bank's
loan portfolio during the later part of 1997. Additional information
regarding the Bank's physical expansion is set forth under the caption
"BUSINESS -- General --Change in Management and Competitive Focus", and
additional information regarding growth of the Bank's loan portfolio is
provided under the caption "Loan Portfolio" to this MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Dependency on such additional capital to support the significant loan
growth was partially offset by the significant increase in the deposit base
at the Bank during the latter part of 1997, which increased deposit base
provided an additional source of funding loan growth. During the period from
December 31, 1996 through December 31, 1997, average total deposits at the
Bank increased $25,705,330, from $16,529,450 to $42,234,780, an increase of
approximately 155.5%. Additional information regarding such growth in the
deposit base is provided under the caption "Deposits and Other
Interest-Bearing Liabilities" to this MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The combination of the Bank's
increased deposit base coupled with the additional capital provided through
the stock offering has been used to support the significant loan growth at
the Bank following completion of the Acquisition.
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings
and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier I Capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I Capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 1997 that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to
which they are subject.

The Company currently does not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures, and the Company has no present intention to pay dividends on
its common stock. Given the Company's strong capital ratios as expressed in
the preceding table, management believes the Company's capital structure is
adequate to support continued growth of the Company and the Bank in the near
future.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity management involves monitoring the Company's sources and uses
of funds in order to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements while
maximizing profits. Liquidity represents the ability of a Company to convert
assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise
additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management is made more
complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying
degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of the
investment portfolio is very predictable and subject to a high degree of
control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit
inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to nearly
the same degree of control.
The Company has maintained a level of liquidity that is adequate to
provide the necessary cash requirements. The Company's funds-sold position,
its primary source of liquidity, averaged $8,150,000 during the year ended
December 31, 1997. Management also has lined up potential purchasers of
loans as a tool to maintain liquidity. The Company has numerous loan
participations with other parties, primarily financial institutions. Loan
participations are common commercial banking arrangements whereby the Company
sells, on a nonrecourse basis, a portion of a loan to another party or
parties. These arrangements spread the risk between or among the parties and
provides liquidity to the Company while reducing its risk. Although no formal
agreements or
37
<PAGE>
commitments exist, management believes that additional loan
participations in the range of $75 million to $80 million could readily be
sold for liquidity purposes, if necessary. Management regularly reviews the
liquidity position of the Company and has implemented internal policies which
establish guidelines for sources of asset-based liquidity. Management
believes that the continued growth in the deposit base, will enable the
Company to meet its long-term liquidity needs.
INTEREST-RATE RISK SENSITIVITY
The largest component of the Company's net income is derived from the
spread between yields on interest-earning assets and the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities. In a changing interest rate environment this
spread can widen or narrow depending on the relative repricing and maturities
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It is the
Company's general policy to reasonably match the rate sensitivity of its
assets and liabilities in an effort to prudently manage interest-rate risk.
To accomplish this, the Company monitors its interest-rate sensitivity, or
risk, and matching more closely the cash flows and effective maturities or
repricings of its interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.
Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics
of the Company's portfolio of assets and liabilities. These repricing
characteristics are the time frames at which interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities are subject to changes in interest rates either
at repricing, replacement or maturity. Sensitivity is measured as the
difference between the volume of assets and liabilities in the Company's
current portfolio that are subject to repricing in future time periods. The
differences at any given point in time is referred to as the interest
sensitivity "gap" and is usually calculated separately for various segments
of time and on a cumulative basis. Any excess of assets or liabilities
results in an interest sensitivity gap. A positive gap denotes net asset
sensitivity and a negative gap represents net liability sensitivity. An
institution is considered to have a negative gap if the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specified time
period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing
within the same period. If more interest-earning assets than
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice within a specified period,
then the institution is considered to have a positive gap. Accordingly, in a
rising interest rate environment in an institution with a negative gap, the
cost of its rate sensitive liabilities would theoretically rise at a faster
pace than the yield on its rate sensitive assets, thereby diminishing future
net interest income. In a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap
would indicate that the cost of rate sensitive liabilities would decline at a
faster pace than the yield on rate sensitive assets and improve net interest
income. For an institution with a positive gap, the reverse would be
expected.
The Company has sought to increase the sensitivity of its assets to
changing interest rates by emphasizing shorter term and/or adjustable rate
loans. The Company also originates fixed-rate mortgage loans, which are
generally sold in the secondary market. The Company manages the maturity and
repricing characteristics of its liabilities and has sought to keep the
interest sensitivity of its liabilities short by emphasizing shorter term
deposits.
The following table presents rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive
liabilities as of December 31, 1997, which mature or reprice in each of the
time periods shown. Except for the effects of prepayments, the table presents
principal cash flows from payments, maturity or repricing. This table does
not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the
Company's
38
<PAGE>
net interest income because the repricing of certain categories of assets and
liabilities is subject to competitive and other pressures beyond the
Company's control. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as
maturing or otherwise repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature
or reprice at different times and at different volumes.

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
As shown by the table, at December 31, 1997, the maturities of the
Company's interest-bearing assets extend over 15 years, while its
interest-bearing liabilities generally mature in less than one year. Also,
the Company's interest-bearing assets significantly exceed its interest
bearing liabilities (a positive gap). Accordingly, a rising interest rate
environment would positively effect the Company's net interest margin and a
falling interest rate environment would negatively effect the Company's net
interest margin.
A static gap report consists of an inventory of the dollar amounts of
assets and liabilities that have the potential to mature or reprice within a
particular period. It does not consider the probability that potential
maturities or repricings of interest-sensitive accounts will occur, or to what
extent. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of the Company's
gap position at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended
to and do not provide a forecast of the effect of changes in market interest
rates on the Company's gap position and may differ from actual results after
December 31, 1997.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of
financial institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily
monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect
on the Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general
rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices
of goods and services.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Company is in the process of addressing the possible exposures
related to the impact of the Year 2000 and is conducting a risk assessment
regarding how these issues will affect the operation of the Company and the
Bank. The Company's critical hardware and software applications are
supported by outside vendors with which the Company maintains continuing
discussions regarding Year 2000 compliance. Certain critical applications
have already been updated as Year 2000 compliant, with the balance of
critical applications scheduled to be updated by the end of 1998. As most of
the critical software is purchased from vendors which have either already
begun to make the necessary changes or will be doing so over the next year,
the Company is concentrating its efforts on initial testing of Year 2000
complaint systems.
During 1998, the Company will continue to assess its readiness for the
Year 2000 by forming a Year 2000 Committee to continue ongoing evaluation of
critical software and hardware applications and to expand the risk assessment
to include and evaluation of suppliers of goods and services and the Bank's
lending function. The Company is also developing contingency plans should
one or more suppliers of goods and services to the Company fail to meet their
respective Year 2000 compliance goals. Critical applications that are not
compliant will be replaced.
While internal staff will be assigned to evaluate and test systems and
applications, the Company anticipates that it may utilize outside resources
to test certain hardware and software applications for compliance with Year
2000 issues. The estimated cost of compliance, including reassignment of
existing staff and outside consulting fees, is not anticipated to be material
to the Company's financial condition in any single year.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The statements contained in this Form 10 that are not historical facts,
including, but not limited to, certain statements found in "Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks
40
<PAGE>
and uncertainties. The actual results of the future events described in such
forward-looking statements in this Registration Statement could differ
materially from those stated in such forward-looking statements. Among the

economic conditions, competition, government regulations and possible future
litigation, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Form 10,
including, without limitation, the portions referenced above.
ITEM 3. PROPERTIES
The Company's executive and administrative offices are located at 905
South Fillmore, in Amarillo, Texas. The Company has executed two leases with
an unaffiliated third party for this location, one for approximately 5,600
square feet on the seventh floor which is used for the Company's and the
Bank's executive and administrative offices, and one for approximately 2,100
square feet on the ground floor, which is used for retail banking
transactions. These leases generally expire in June 2004, and provide for
rent escalations tied to either increases in the lessor's operating expenses
or fluctuations in the consumer price index in the relevant geographic
market. The term of these leases may be renewed through June 2012. In
addition to the main office, the Bank maintains four (4) full-service branch
offices located in Amarillo (2 branches), Dalhart and Fritch, Texas.
AMARILLO, TEXAS
As described above, the Bank's main retail office is located on the
first floor of a seven-story office complex at 905 South Fillmore in downtown
Amarillo, Texas. The Bank leases approximately 7,700 square feet of office
space from an unaffiliated third party. This location offers a walk-in
lobby, but does not offer drive-in lanes.
On February 2, 1998 and February 17, 1998, respectively, the Bank opened
two (2) de novo, full-service branches in commercial areas of Amarillo,
Texas. One branch is located at the approximate intersection of U.S.
Interstate 40 and Washington Street and is highly visible to traffic
traveling nearby. The other branch is located at the approximate
intersection of 34th Avenue and Bell Street, also in a highly visible
location. The Bank constructed and owns each branch building and leases the
ground space from unaffiliated third parties. Each stand-alone branch
facility is approximately 2,500 square feet and has five (5) drive-through
lanes and one walk-up automated teller machine.
DALHART, TEXAS
On October 15, 1997, the Bank opened a de novo, full-service branch at
1723 Tennessee in Dalhart, Texas. The Dalhart branch, which offers four (4)
drive-through lanes and one drive-up automated teller machine, is located
within a strip shopping center in the business district of Dalhart, Texas and
is surrounded by other commercial businesses. This branch facility, which
occupies approximately 5,500 square feet, is leased from an unaffiliated
third party. The initial term of the lease is scheduled to expire in October
2002, but may be renewed through October 2012.
41
<PAGE>
FRITCH, TEXAS
The Fritch, Texas branch of the Bank is located at 102 West Broadway
(Highway 136) in downtown Fritch, Texas. This branch facility consists of a
one-story brick building (approximately 3,230 square feet) with three (3)
drive-through lanes and one drive-up automated teller machine. The Fritch
branch facility is owned by the Bank.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
Certain of the officers, directors and principal shareholders of the
Company and the Bank, and their affiliates, have deposit accounts and other
transactions with the Bank, including loans in the ordinary course of
business. All loans or other extensions of credit made by the Bank to
officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company, the Bank and
to affiliates of such persons were made in the ordinary course of business on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with independent
third parties and did not involve more than the normal risk taken by the
lender or present other unfavorable features. The extensions of credit by
the Bank to those persons have not, and do not currently, involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. At
December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal amount of indebtedness to the
Bank owed by directors and executive officers and their affiliates, who were
indebted to the Bank on that date, aggregated $10,550,806, which represented
approximately 28% of the Bank's equity capital accounts. The Bank expects to
continue to enter into transactions in the ordinary course of business on
similar terms with officers, directors and principal shareholders of the
Company, the Bank, and their affiliates.
In addition to such lending relationships, some of the executive
officers and directors of the Company, and some of their associates, have had
transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business, including the
following:
1. A&S Steel Buildings, Inc. served as a contractor with respect to
the construction of a branch of the Bank at 34th and Bell in Amarillo,
Texas. William H. Attebury's son, W. A. Attebury, is the president and a
shareholder of A&S Steel Buildings, Inc., owning approximately 45% of the
stock, and William H. Attebury's other four children each owning
approximately 7% of the stock of A&S Steel Buildings, Inc.
2. Alpha Three Cattle Company, owned by William H. Attebury (25%)
and his sons Edward A. Attebury (25%) and W. A. Attebury (50%), has a re-
advancing agricultural note with the Bank. The highest outstanding balance
on this note during 1997 was $1,800,000. The outstanding balance of the
note as of March 10, 1998 was paid down to $75,000.
All of the foregoing transactions were on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral to the extent applicable, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did
not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features. Additional transactions in the future may be expected
to take place with the Bank in the ordinary course of business.
46
<PAGE>
ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and the Bank are sometimes involved in various legal
proceedings in the normal course of their business. None of such matters,
either singularly or in the aggregate, would have, in the opinion of the
management of the Company and the Bank, a material adverse effect upon the
financial statements of the Company or the Bank.
ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no established public trading market for the Company's Common
Stock. Accordingly, there is no comprehensive record of trades or the prices
of any such trades. As a result, the prices reported for the Company's
Common Stock may not be reliable indicators of market value. There can be no
assurance that an active public trading market for the Company's Common Stock
will be created in the future. The following table reflects stock prices for
the Company's Shares, to the extent such information is available, and the
dividends declared with respect thereto during the preceding two years.

(1) Adjusted to reflect 77.4372-for-1 stock dividend on July 2, 1997 to

None of the Company's shares of Common Stock (i) are subject to outstanding
options or warrants to purchase nor are there any securities convertible into
the Company's Common Stock, or (ii) are being or proposed to be publicly offered
by the Company.
The Company did not pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in 1996
or 1997. The Company intends to retain all of its earnings to finance its
operations and does not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable
future. Any decision made by the Board of Directors to declare dividends in
the future will depend on the Company's future earnings, capital
requirements, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the
Board of Directors.
The Company's ability to pay dividends is also subject to the
restrictions imposed by Texas law. Generally, Texas law prohibits
corporations from paying dividends if after giving effect to the
distribution, the corporation would insolvent or the distribution exceeds the
surplus of the
47
<PAGE>
corporation. See "Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered"
under Item 1 of this Form 10.
The Company is also subject to the dividend restrictions applicable to
national banks because its principal source of income is from the dividends
paid by the Bank to the Company. Under the National Bank Act, dividends may
be paid only out of retained earnings as defined in the statute. The
approval of the Comptroller is required if the dividends for any year exceed
the net profits, as defined, for that year plus the retained net profits for
the preceding two years. In addition, unless a national bank's capital
surplus equals or exceeds the stated capital for its common stock, no
dividends may be declared unless the bank makes transfers from retained
earnings to capital surplus. See "Supervision and Regulation" under Item 1
of this Form 10.
The Bank serves as the Transfer Agent for the Company's Common Stock.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Following completion of the Acquisition, and in anticipation of
significant growth and physical expansion of the Company and the Bank, the
Company took steps to raise additional capital by publicly offering shares of
its Common Stock solely to bona fide residents of the State of Texas pursuant
to Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Rule 147
issued thereunder. Management of the Company sought to raise approximately
$40 million in a community offering principally to residents in the Panhandle
of Texas and solely to bona fide residents of the State of Texas so as to
qualify for the exemption noted in the preceding sentence.
On July 3, 1997, the Company filed an Application for Registration of
Securities under the Securities Act of Texas with the Texas Securities Board
to register up to 13,333,334 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
offering price of $3.00 per share for an aggregate maximum offering price of
$40,000,002. After receiving some additional information from the Company,
the State Securities Board of Texas declared the Application for Registration
effective on August 1, 1997. The intrastate offering to bona fide residents
of the State of Texas was concluded on August 31, 1997 with the offering
being completely subscribed. Accordingly, the Company issued 13,333,334
shares of its Common Stock for $3.00 per share effective August 31, 1997.
The certificates representing shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant
to the intrastate offering bear a restrictive legend designed to prevent a
resale of such securities to a non-resident of the State of Texas for a
period of nine months following conclusion of the offering and advising each
holder thereof that such securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are being issued by the Company
pursuant to the intrastate offering exception of such Act and Rule 147
thereunder.
No other shares of the Company's Common Stock has been issued by the
Company since February 29, 1984 or subsequent to conclusion of the intrastate
offering which concluded on August 31, 1997.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
GENERAL
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock of
the par value of $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"). As of March 24, 1998,
the Company had 13,333,334 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding held
by approximately 1,039 holders of record. The Company does not have any
other securities outstanding. A more detailed description of the Common
Stock of the Company may be found in the Restated Articles of Incorporation,
copies of which are on file at the offices of the Company and with the
Secretary of State of Texas. The summary below is qualified in its entirety
by reference to such document, which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 10
Registration Statement.
COMMON STOCK
VOTING RIGHTS. All voting rights are vested in the holders of the
Common Stock. With respect to any matter that may be acted on by the
shareholders, each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued
and outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at any meeting is necessary to
constitute a quorum to transact business at such meeting.
Shareholders of the Company do not have the right to cumulate their
votes for the election of Directors. Straight voting in the election of
directors requires that a shareholder only vote the number of shares that he
or she owns for each nominee, and not more. By contrast, under cumulative
voting, each shareholder is entitled to an aggregate number of votes equal to
the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number shares of
common stock such shareholder owns. The shareholder may divide this
aggregate number of votes among the nominees for election as directors as he
or she chooses and may, for example, cast all of his or her votes for one
nominee. As a result of the denial of cumulative voting rights, shareholders
owning slightly over fifty percent of the Common Stock can, in effect, elect
all of the Directors of the Company.
The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company may be amended at
any regular or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Company entitled to vote thereon, unless the vote of the holders of a
greater amount of stock is required by law. A merger, consolidation or
liquidation of the Company also requires a two-thirds vote of all of the
shares of the Common Stock outstanding.
Under Texas law, the dissolution of a corporation requires the approval
of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total outstanding shares of the
corporation, and the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each
class or series entitled to vote thereon as a class, unless a different
amount, not less than a majority, is specified in the articles of
incorporation. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not provide
for a different amount of shares for approval of dissolution.
49
<PAGE>
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. Under Texas law, the shareholders of a corporation
have a preemptive right to require additional, unissued, or treasury shares
of the corporation, except to the extent limited or denied by the articles of
incorporation. The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not
afford shareholders the preemptive right to acquire their pro rata share of
Common Stock (or any other securities) issued by the Company in the future.
Accordingly, any issuance and sale of Common Stock in the future will have a
dilutive effect upon the percentage ownership interest of shareholders of the
Company unless such shareholders purchase a pro rata share of Common Stock.
The Common Stock has no redemption, liquidation or conversion provisions.
DIVIDENDS. A Texas corporation may not make any distributions if (1)
after giving effect to the distribution, the corporation would be insolvent
or (2) the distribution exceeds the surplus of the corporation. Subject to
any other restrictions in the articles of incorporation, a corporation may
not make any distributions if, after giving effect to the distribution,
either (1) the corporation is able to pay its debts as they come due in the
usual course of business or the corporation's total assets would be less than
the sum of its total liabilities and the maximum amount that then would be
payable, in any liquidation, in respect to all outstanding shares having
preferential rights in liquidation. Holders of the Company's Common Stock
are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company's
Board of Directors, from assets legally available therefor based upon
conditions then existing, including the earnings of the Company, the
earnings, funding requirements and financial condition of the Bank and
applicable laws and regulations.
The Company is also restricted in its ability to pay dividends by, among
other things, guidelines and regulations of the Federal Reserve and federal
law. The Company is also subject to a Federal Reserve regulation that
requires the Company to receive the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
before paying a dividend on the Common Stock, if, after the payment of the
dividend, the debt-to-equity ratio of the Company would exceed thirty
percent. In addition, the Company's ability to pay dividends depends
primarily on the receipt of dividends from the Bank. The ability of the Bank
to pay dividends is restricted by the requirement that it maintain an
adequate level of capital as required by the Comptroller. The Bank is also
subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.
There is no assurance that dividends paid by the Bank will be sufficient to
enable the Company to meet its obligations. See "SUPERVISION AND
REGULATION."
The future dividend policy of the Company will be determined by the
Corporate Board in light of circumstances and conditions existing at the
time, including the earnings of the Company and the Bank, their funding
requirements and financial condition, applicable laws and regulations and
general business conditions. Such dividends, if any, will depend on the
future profitability of the Bank, and there is no guaranty that the Company
will pay any dividends or at any time in the future. Since completion of the
Acquisition in May 1997, the Company has not paid any cash dividends, and it
is not anticipated that cash dividends on the Common Stock will be declared
or paid in the foreseeable future.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, after
payment or provision for the payment of (i) all debts and other liabilities
of the Company, (ii) expenses and (iii) any securities issued by the Company
that are senior to the Common Stock, the holders of all the outstanding
shares of Common Stock will be entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, in the
distribution of the Company's remaining assets. Neither
50
<PAGE>
a merger or consolidation of the Company, nor the sale, lease or conveyance
of all or part of its property or business, will be deemed to be a
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company as
contemplated above.
The Company may be dissolved by the written consent of the holders of a
two-thirds majority of the Common Stock. Liquidation may also be effected in
whole or in part through the sale of all or a portion of the Company's
assets. A sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company would have
to be approved by shareholders owning two-thirds of the Common Stock.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas and is
subject to the provisions of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA").
Texas law generally permits a merger or share exchange involving the
corporation to become effective without the approval of the corporation's
shareholders if the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation do
not change following the merger, the amount of the surviving corporation's
common stock to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger does not
exceed 20% of the total shares of outstanding voting stock immediately prior
to the merger, and the board of directors of the surviving corporation adopts
a resolution approving the plan of merger.
Where shareholder approval is required under Texas law, a merger must be
approved by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Texas
corporation entitled to vote thereon, unless there is a class of stock that
is entitled to vote as a class, in which event the merger must be approved by
the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares otherwise entitled to
vote, unless a different amount, not less than a majority is specified in the
articles of incorporation. The Company's Articles of Incorporation do not so
provide.
The Company is subject to the provisions of the Texas Business
Combination Law (the "Combination Law") (Articles 13.01 through 13.08 of the
TBCA), which provides that a Texas corporation such as the Company may not
engage in certain business combinations, including mergers, consolidations
and asset sales, with a person, or an affiliate or associate of such person,
who is an "Affiliated Shareholder" (generally defined as the holder of 20% or
more of the corporation's voting shares) for a period of three years from the
date such person became an Affiliated Shareholder unless: (i) the business
combination or purchase or acquisition of shares made by the Affiliated
Shareholder was approved by the board of directors of the corporation before
the Affiliated Shareholder became an Affiliated Shareholder or (ii) the
business combination was approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation not
beneficially owned by the Affiliated Shareholder, at a meeting of
shareholders called for that purpose (and not by written consent), not less
than six months after the Affiliated Shareholder became an Affiliated
Shareholder. The Combination Law is not applicable to: (i) the business
combination of a corporation: (a) where the corporation's original charter or
bylaws contain a provision expressly electing not to be governed by the
Combination Law, (b) that adopts an amendment to its charter or bylaws before
December 31, 1997, expressly electing not to be governed by the
51
<PAGE>
Combination Law, or (c) that adopts an amendment to its charter or bylaws
after December 31, 1997, by the affirmative vote of the holders, other than
Affiliated Shareholders, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting
shares of the corporation, expressly electing not to be governed by the
Combination Law; (ii) a business combination of a corporation with an
Affiliated Shareholder that became an Affiliated Shareholder inadvertently,
if the Affiliated Shareholder: (a) as soon as practicable divests itself of
enough shares to no longer be an Affiliated Shareholder and (b) would not at
any time within the three year period preceding the announcement of the
business combination have been an Affiliated Shareholder but for the
inadvertent acquisition; (iii) a business combination with an Affiliated
Shareholder that was the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding
voting shares of the corporation on December 31, 1996, and continuously until
the announcement date of the business combination; (iv) a business
combination with an Affiliated Shareholder who became an Affiliated
Shareholder through a transfer of shares of the corporation by will or
intestate succession and continuously was such an Affiliated Shareholder
until the announcement date of the business combination; and (v) a business
combination of a corporation with a wholly owned subsidiary if the subsidiary
is not an affiliate or associate of the Affiliated Shareholder other than
reason of the Affiliated Shareholder's beneficial ownership of the voting
shares of the corporation. Neither the Company's Articles of Incorporation
nor the Company's Bylaws contain any provision expressly provided that the
Company will not be subject to the Combination Law. The Combination Law may
have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated merger or other business
combination involving the Company, even if such event would be beneficial to
the Company's shareholders.
FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS
The Company and the Bank are subject to a variety of Federal statutes
and regulations applicable to national banking associations, including the
National Bank Act, all of which impact the operations of the Bank. See
"Supervision and Regulation" under Item 1 of this Form 10.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Article 2.02-1 of the TBCA authorizes corporations to indemnify any
party or threatened party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation and any person who is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee,
employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise if such
individual acted in good faith and reasonably believed that his or her
conduct was in the corporation's best interests. In the case of any criminal
proceeding, the individual must have no reasonable cause to believe that his
or her conduct was unlawful in order for the corporation to indemnify him or
her. Texas law provides that no indemnification shall be made with respect
to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged liable where the defendant's conduct was judged to be willful or
intentional misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the
corporation, and will be limited to reasonable expense actually incurred in
connection with the proceeding where the defendant is found liable to the
corporation or liable for receipt of improper personal benefits. Whether
such director, officer, employee or agent acted properly is determined by a
majority of a quorum of non-party directors, independent legal counsel
opinion or by non-party shareholders. A corporation may pay expenses
incurred by a director or officer before final disposition of an action or
proceeding, but the director or officer must repay such expenses if it is
determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification. If such a
person seeking indemnification is wholly successful on the merits or
otherwise, in connection with such a proceeding, such indemnification is
mandatory. The board of directors may determine appropriate
52
<PAGE>
terms and conduct to pay an employee or agent. The corporation may purchase
insurance on a director, officer, employee or agent for liability asserted
against him or her whether or not the corporation could indemnify that party.
The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation contain provisions
which provide, among other things, that the Company shall indemnify certain
persons, including officers and directors, against judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding if such person(s) act in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, have no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. As
to any action brought by or in the right of the Company such indemnification
is limited to expenses or advance payment thereof actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the case, which
shall not be made, absent court approval, if determined that such person is
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
Company.
The Company is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance or make
other arrangements to protect itself or others, including, its officers and
directors from liability.
The indemnification provisions in the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation are individually limited to the extent that they are consistent
with applicable laws and regulations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted of directors and officers of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that, although the validity and scope of the governing statute has
not been tested in court, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
such Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification may
be limited by state securities laws.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Tejas Bancshares, Inc.
Amarillo, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tejas
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tejas
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

TEJAS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Tejas Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) provides a variety of financial services
to individuals and corporate customers in the community of Amarillo, Texas
and the surrounding geographical area. The Company's primary deposit
products are demand deposits and time and savings accounts. Its primary
lending products are consumer, commercial, agriculture and real estate loans.
During 1997, the corporate structure of the Company changed significantly as
follows:
- - In May 1997, Mr. Donald E. Powell acquired control of all of the
outstanding common stock of the Company. In connection with the
acquisition, the Corporation repurchased 6,695 shares of its common stock
for approximately $1,575,400 and Mr. Powell acquired the remaining 2,500
shares of its common stock for approximately $588,300 and loaned the
Company $1,000,000 at the prime interest rate (8.5%). Goodwill in
connection with the acquisition amounted to approximately $65,600.
- - Following completion of the acquisition, the authorized shares of the
Company were increased from 10,000 to 20,000,000, the par value of the
common stock was reduced from $10 to $1 and 7,500 shares of treasury stock
were retired. The domicile of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Fritch State Bank, was also moved to Amarillo, Texas, and it was converted
to a national banking association named The First National Bank of Amarillo
(the Bank).
- - In July 1997, the Company's common stock was split 77.4372-for-1 in the
effect of a stock dividend. During August 1997, the Company completed an
offering of its common stock and issued 13,333,334 shares at an issue price
of $3 per share. Subsequent to the offering, Mr. Powell's original 196,093
shares were repurchased for approximately $588,300 and were retired and his
$1,000,000 loan was repaid.
- - The Company experienced significant growth in loans and deposits during
1997 primarily because of the Bank's relocation of its main office from
Fritch, Texas, to the larger Amarillo, Texas banking market, which is a
more economically vibrant banking market than Fritch, Texas. In
addition, deposit and loan growth can be attributable to the new
management team, which has emphasized growth from the Bank's existing
client base and capitalizing opportunities from its target market (e.g.,
customers of competing financial institutions), and the delivery or
personalized banking services to the Bank's customers. In addition, the
Bank's loan growth is attributable to the Bank's aggressive commercial
lending program and its virtual re-emergence into agricultural and real
estate lending and strong emphasis on the commercial loan market.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

<PAGE>
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company classifies its investment securities in one of three categories;
trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought
and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. The
Company had no investment securities classified as trading at December 31, 1997
or December 31, 1996. Held-to-maturity securities are those in which the
Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All
other securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale.

TEJAS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued)
Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized holding gains
and losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized
holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as
a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Transfers of
securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of
transfer. In connection with the aforementioned acquisition, during June
1997 the Company transferred all of its held-to-maturity securities (total
carrying value of approximately $6,436,000) to available-for-sale.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized in earnings for transfers
into trading securities.
The unrealized holding gains or losses included in the separate component of
equity for securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity
are maintained and amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the
security as an adjustment to yield in a manner consistent with the amortization
or accretion of premium or discount on the associated security. A decline in
the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below
cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the
establishment of new cost basis for the security.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related
security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method.
Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and
losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are
included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method
for determining the cost of securities sold.
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance
for loan losses and unearned income. Unearned income on certain installment
loans is taken into income over the term of the loan by the sum-of-the-months
digits method. The effect of not using the interest method is not material to
the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Interest on
other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily
balances of the principal amount outstanding.
Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the market price or
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The
accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's
opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When
interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied to
principal.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of individual credits, prior loan loss
experience and general economic conditions. If management believes the
allowance is in excess of possible losses, a credit to the provision is made.
The allowance is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the near term
because of changes in economic conditions or review by regulatory examiners.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation,
which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into
off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting primarily of commitments
to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
consolidated financial statements when they become payable.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers due from
banks and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents. Federal funds sold are
generally purchased and sold for one-day periods.
NET EARNINGS (Loss) PER SHARE
Net earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995 the weighted average shares outstanding were 4,824,792, 712,035
and 712,035, respectively, after giving effect for the above-mentioned stock
split effected in the form of a dividend.
This information is an integral part of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
During the year ended December 31, 1997, noncash investing activities consisted
of the recognition in stockholders' equity of the net unrealized holding gains
on available-for-sale securities of $24,593, net of deferred taxes of $12,669.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, noncash investing activities consisted

on available-for-sale securities of $(2,629), net of deferred taxes of $(1,354).
During the year ended December 31, 1995, noncash investing activities consisted
of the recognition in stockholders' equity of the net unrealized holding gains
on available-for-sale securities of $78,754, net of deferred taxes of $40,570.
Other noncash transactions during 1997 included the retirement of treasury stock
having a carrying value of approximately $2,325,700, a stock split effected in
the form of a dividend of 77.4372-for-1, the reduction in par value from $10 to
$1 and the transfer of investments of approximately $6,436,000 from the
held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category in connection

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company 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.
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
generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Bank evaluates each customer's credit

worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if
deemed necessary upon extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial
properties. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the
contractual amount. Unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 1997 were
approximately $54,063,000. Unfunded loan commitments were not material at
December 31, 1996. Management does not anticipate any losses as a result of
these transactions.
NOTE 9 - DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments, the results of applying such methods and
assumptions to the financial instruments and limitations inherent in fair
value estimates:
CASH, DUE FROM BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
The assets are considered short-term instruments for which the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
For investment securities, excluding restricted equity securities, fair value
is equal to the quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price
is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar securities or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The
carrying value of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.
Securities available-for-sale had a carrying value (which approximates fair
value) of approximately $5,085,000 and $1,957,000 at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Securities held-to-maturity had a carrying value of
approximately $8,346,000 and a fair value of approximately $8,419,000 at
December 31, 1996.
LOANS
Fair values of loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows
through the estimated maturity using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The carrying value
of loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was $117,102,264 and
$1,418,714 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The fair value of
loans at those dates was approximately the same as carrying value.
DEPOSITS
The fair value of demand deposits, both interest and noninterest bearing, and
savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered
for deposits of similar remaining maturities. At December 31, 1997 and 1996,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 - DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
carrying value of deposits was $106,254,658 and $16,067,288. The fair
value of deposits at those dates was approximately the same as carrying
value.
LIMITATIONS
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of
the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on
judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
NOTE 10 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings
and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of Total and Tier I Capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I Capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 1997 that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to
which they are subject.
As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Bank's
regulator categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed the Bank's category.

There are certain regulatory guidelines on the amount of dividends that can be
paid by the Bank to the Company. These guidelines do not currently have a
significant effect on the amount of dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is
also required to maintain certain daily reserve balances on hand in accordance
with requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank maintained average cash and
due from bank balances of approximately $4,720,000 and $1,210,000, respectively,
in order to satisfy such requirements.
