ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

     Tejas Bancshares, Inc.

     Tejas  Bancshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  was  incorporated  as a  Texas
corporation on June 22, 1983, 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  by  acquiring  all  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").  Effective  April 1999,  the Company  established a new
middle tier holding company named Tejas Force, Inc.  ("Force").  The new company
has no significant operations.

     The Company owns all issued and  outstanding  capital  stock of Force which
owns all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Bank.

     As of December 31, 1999,  the Company had, on a consolidated  basis,  total
assets  of   approximately   $299,000,000;   total  deposits  of   approximately
$252,000,000;  total  loans  of  approximately  $258,000,000  (net  of  unearned
discount and  allowance  for loan  losses);  and total  stockholders'  equity of
approximately $45,000,000.

     The Company does not, as an entity,  engage in separate business activities
of a material  nature  apart from its  activities  for the Bank.  The  Company's
primary  activities  are to assist in the  management  and  coordination  of the
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's
Board of Directors formulates its own policies for 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  any  dividends  may be  declared  and  paid  only 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 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

                                        1

<PAGE>

is subject to regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency (the  "Comptroller")
in accordance  with the  requirements in the National Bank Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder by the Comptroller.  As of December 31, 1999,
the Bank had total  assets of  approximately  $299,000,000;  total  deposits  of
approximately  $253,000,000;  total loans of approximately  $258,000,000 (net of
unearned discount and allowance for loan losses); and total stockholders' equity
of approximately $45,000,000.

     The Bank provides a full range of banking  services to business,  industry,
public and governmental organizations, and individuals in Amarillo, Dalhart, and
Fritch,  Texas.  The Bank  serves 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 for its
business  customers.  When the borrowing  needs of a customer  exceed the Bank's
lending  limit,  the Bank  participates  with other banks and, in certain cases,
with Donald E. Powell and William H.  Attebury,  in making the loan.  Similarly,
the Bank provides other services for its customers through its correspondent and
other  relationships  with other  financial  institutions.  In  addition,  since
mid-1999, the Bank has offered trust services.

     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.

     Change in Control of the Company and the Bank

     Effective  May 23, 1997,  Donald E. Powell,  the  Company's  and the Bank's
Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer,  acquired control
of all  outstanding  stock of the  Company  (the  "Acquisition").  Mr.  Powell's
acquisition  of control of the  Company  was  accomplished  pursuant  to a stock
purchase agreement by and among Mr. Powell, the Company, and all shareholders of
the Company (the "Stock Purchase Agreement").

     The Stock  Purchase  Agreement  stated  that the Company  would  repurchase
approximately  73  percent  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 the shares to be received by
all 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
before the closing of the Acquisition,  some  non-performing loan assets had not
been  transferred  to  the  shareholders  and  remained  on  the  Bank's  books.
Accordingly,  the aggregate  purchase price for the Company's stock 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 the  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 each shareholder's  respective ownership interest in the Company on
the closing date of the Acquisition.


                                       2
<PAGE>

The aggregate value of the non-performing loan assets was approximately  $79,000
as of May 23, 1997, the effective date of the Acquisition.

     Immediately  before  consummating  the  transaction,  the Company had 9,195
shares of common stock,  par value $10.00 per share,  issued and outstanding and
owned by 21 shareholders.  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. As a result of these simultaneous transactions, Mr. Powell
owned  2,500  shares,  which were all the issued and  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.  Mr.  Powell's  loan to the  Company  was to be repaid over a ten-year
period and was secured by a pledge of all capital stock of the Bank owned by the
Company. The loan was prepaid in full on September 2, 1997.

     Before  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.

     After Mr. Powell's acquisition of all outstanding stock of the Company, and
in anticipation of an intrastate  public offering of the Company's common stock,
its Articles of Incorporation were amended to (i) increase the authorized shares
of common stock of the Company from 10,000 to 20,000,000 shares; (ii) reduce the
par value of the common  stock of the  Company  from  $10.00 to $1.00 per share;
(iii) eliminate the preemptive  rights of the  shareholders of the Company;  and
(iv)  generally   update  the   indemnification   provisions  in  the  Company's
organizational  documents.  Since Mr. Powell was the Company's sole  shareholder
following the Acquisition,  these amendments were approved by unanimous  written
consent following their 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 the Stock Dividend, Mr. Powell's 2,500 shares were converted into
196,093  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock,   representing  all  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 the stock  equaled  $3.00 per share,  which is  equivalent  to the
price of the Common Stock offered in the public offering.

     Change in Management and Competitive Focus.

     Before the  Acquisition,  Mr.  Powell  served as the Chairman of the Board,
President,  and Chief  Executive  Officer 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 before it was 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
("NationsBank"),  and Boatmen's  Bancshares,  Inc.("Boatmen's"),  announced that
they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which NationsBank would
acquire  Boatmen's.  As  a  result  thereof,   NationsBank  indirectly  acquired
Boatmen's  First  National  Bank  of  Amarillo.   NationsBank's  acquisition  of
Boatmen's was 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  after the
NationsBank  transaction in January 1997, he voluntarily resigned from Boatmen's
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 the Company and indirect
acquisition of control of the Bank.

     Immediately  after the  Acquisition,  Mr.  Powell  became the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company's former President and Chief
Executive Officer continued to be employed by the Bank following the Acquisition
and currently serves as the manager of one of the Bank's branches.  In addition,
immediately  following the Acquisition,  Mr. Powell,  as the sole shareholder of
the Company,  reconstituted  the Company's Board of Directors with five persons,
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  given in Part  III to this  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K.  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 reintroduce "The First National Bank of Amarillo" to Amarillo, were
completed on or about June 30, 1997.  In addition,  the Bank sought  approval to
establish  two de novo  full-service  branches  in  Amarillo  and an  additional
full-service branch in Dalhart,  Texas. The Dalhart branch,  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. The
Bank is currently in the process of  constructing a third Amarillo  branch.  The
branch opened on December 4, 1999, in a temporary facility.

     To support this physical expansion and growth in market presence,  the Bank
hired approximately 93 additional  employees between June 30, 1997, and December
31, 1999, bringing


                                       4
<PAGE>

the  current  number  of  full-time  equivalent  employees  to  102.  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 Texas 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.

     After 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  Panhandle  residents.  The  intrastate  offering  to bona  fide
residents  of Texas was  concluded  on August 31,  1997,  when the  offering was
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
and a larger lending  limit,  and to maintain a capital base at a level that the
Bank's management deemed sufficient for satisfactory capital ratios.

     A number of key  factors  which  have been  primarily  attributable  to the
significant growth of the Company and the Bank following the Acquisition include
(1)  appointing  an  experienced  and  knowledgeable  Board of  Directors of the
Company and the Bank;  (2) hiring an  experienced  management  team and seasoned
Bank employees;  (3) formulating and implementing 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,
since the banking business is highly  personalized,  particularly in the markets
served by the Bank,  it  attributes  much of its  success to the  efforts of its
enhanced staff who provide personalized banking services to the Bank's customers
and the aggressive  advertising of its highly personalized service to its target
market.  One of the Bank's goals is to be the premier  financial  institution in
the Panhandle, recognized for customer service, and the delivery of personalized
service  has become  one of the  Bank's  most  recognizable  features  since the
Acquisition.  In addition,  the Bank enjoys a unique  position as one of the few
locally owned and operated national banks in Amarillo.  Accordingly,  management
attributes  a portion  of its  success to the Bank's  ability to  capitalize  on
customers'  disruption,  dissatisfaction,  and turnover from the  acquisition by
out-of-state  holding  companies  of many  community  banks  in and  around  the
Panhandle, including Amarillo.

     To some degree, banks and other financial institutions compete on the basis
of rates and services.  Although the Bank seeks to remain  competitive  with its
interest rates on loans and offers on deposits, it believes that its success has
been and will  continue to be dependent  on its  emphasis on community  banking,
customer service, and personal relationships.


                                       5
<PAGE>

Competition

     The banking  business in the Bank's trade area,  which  includes  Amarillo,
Dalhart,  and  Fritch,  and  surrounding  areas  of the  Panhandle,  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 in their market area.  Non-bank
competitors  for 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.  The  Bank  encounters
competition for loans 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  business   activities  in  which  banks  and  non-bank  financial
institutions may engage.  When others engage in these  activities,  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 banks and other financial  institutions with which the Company and the
Bank compete have capital  resources and legal loan limits  substantially  above
those  maintained by the Company and the Bank.  These  institutions  can perform
certain functions for their customers,  including trust,  securities  brokerage,
and international banking services,  which the Company and the Bank presently do
not offer  directly.  Although  the  Company may offer  these  services  through
correspondent  banks, its inability to provide these 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 in its primary  market areas.  The
Company's  products and services in 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 its  officers,
directors,  and existing  shareholders to solicit and refer potential customers,
and expects this to continue for the foreseeable future.

Trust Department

     In connection with its personalized  banking services to professionals  and
owner-operated  businesses,  the Bank formed a full-service  Trust Department in
mid-1999. The Trust Department provides the following services:

     Trust  Administration.  The Trust  Department  consults  with its customers
regarding various trust options that fit their needs. As Trustee, the Bank will,
among other things, administer trusts per their terms, invest trust assets, keep
records, make tax and fiduciary decisions, distribute income and/or principal to
beneficiaries.


                                       6
<PAGE>

     Investment  Management.  The Bank  designs  and  implements  an  investment
portfolio  using  multiple  assets,  styles and managers to meet its  customers'
personal risk tolerance, return needs, and time horizon.

     Custodial  Services.  As  Custodian,  the Bank holds  customers'  assets in
safekeeping and executes trade settlements.

     Financial  and Tax  Planning.  The Bank uses its  expertise  and  extensive
experience in addressing financial and tax planning issues.

     Estate  Administration.  The Bank  supervises the settlement of estates per
the terms of its customers' wills as well as help in resolving in any unexpected
issues.  The Bank may also act as agent for any  designated  executor and assist
him or her with the estate settlement.

     Farm and Ranch Asset  Management.  The Bank handles all matters to properly
manage  farm and  ranch  assets,  including,  among  others,  property  leasing,
property insurance, crop insurance, income collection and bill paying.

     Oil and Gas Asset  Management.  The Bank  handles all matters to manage oil
and  gas  assets  including,  among  others,  leasing,   production  and  income
collection, operating expenses and tax reporting.

     Employee Benefits.  The Bank manages investments for 401(k) plans,  pension
and profit sharing plans, IRAs, and individual securities.

Lending Activities

     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 Bank  offers a full range of retail  and  commercial
credit services  designed to meet the borrowing needs of small- and medium-sized
businesses  and customers in the Bank's  service area.  These  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  in the  Bank's  service  area,  which
includes  the Texas  Panhandle.  The Bank has,  however,  made a small number of
loans  outside its service  area and in  surrounding  states.  This  practice is
generally limited to borrowers (both individuals and businesses) who have either
specific ties to the Bank's  service area or  businesses  in the Bank's  service
area.

     The Bank  conducts  its  lending  activities  pursuant  to the loan  policy
adopted  by  its  Board  of  Directors.  See  "BUSINESS  --  Loan  Policies  and
Underwriting   Practices"   for  a   discussion   of  the  Bank's  loan  policy.
Substantially  all loans in the Bank's  portfolio  have been  originated  by the
Bank.  A few loans in the  Bank's  portfolio,  however,  were  purchased  from a
competing  bank.  These  purchased  loans had been  originated by members of the
Bank's  lending staff during their prior tenure at the  competing  bank and were
seasoned loans of known customers. These purchased loans conform with the Bank's
underwriting  standards.  This practice was unique to the Bank's  startup during
the latter half of 1997.  The Bank may, from time to time,  purchase  loans from
other banks


                                       7
<PAGE>

and  participations  from  correspondent  banks, which loans will conform to the
Bank's underwriting standards. 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,  agricultural loans, real estate loans, and loans
to individuals, each 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 many  related
factors including collateral, type of loan, loan maturity, terms and conditions,
and various  loan-to-value  ratios  related to the Bank's loan policy.  The Bank
requires commercial  borrowers to submit financial statements at least annually.
Any exceptions to this  requirement  are extremely  rare. In addition,  the Bank
requires  appraisals  or  evaluations  for loans  secured by real estate.  These
appraisals or evaluations are obtained  before the funds are advanced.  The Bank
also requires personal guaranties on all  non-individual/consumer  loans, except
when cash  collateral  or  financial  strength of the  borrower  mitigates  this
requirement.  The total number of loans in the Bank's portfolio without personal
guaranties at December 31, 1999, is insignificant  compared to the overall value
of its loan portfolio.  Terms are granted  commensurate  with the useful life of
the collateral offered.

     Agricultural  Loans.  Agricultural  loans include  loans to cattle  feeding
operations,    cattle    producers,    farmers   and    ranchers,    and   other
agriculture-related  borrowers.  These loans are subject to the credit analysis,
financial  statement,   and  collateral   requirements   mentioned  above  under
commercial loans.

     Real Estate  Loans.  Real estate loans are divided  into three  categories:
residential  mortgage  lending,  construction  loans, and commercial real estate
loans, each 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 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,   one-to-four  family
residences.  Substantially  all of the  Bank's  one-to-four  family  residential
mortgage  originations  are secured by  properties in and around  Amarillo.  The
outstanding  principal amount of loans secured by properties  outside the Bank's
service area is not significant  compared to the value of the Bank's entire loan
portfolio.  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 requires loans secured by first


                                       8
<PAGE>

mortgages on real estate to have  loan-to-value  ratios within specified limits,
ranging from 60 percent for loans secured by raw land to 95 percent for improved
property.

     The Bank reviews information  concerning the income,  financial  condition,
employment, and credit history when evaluating an applicant's creditworthiness.

     Construction  Loans. The Bank's emphasis in construction  loans is directed
toward properties that will be owner-occupied. The Bank may finance construction
loans for projects built on speculation,  but these  typically have  substantial
secondary  sources of repayment.  The Bank's  construction  loans are secured by
property  located  primarily  in its market  area and  typically  have  variable
interest rates during the  construction  period.  Construction  loans with fixed
interest rates were not significant at December 31, 1999.  Construction loans to
individuals  are generally made in connection  with  permanent  financing on the
property.  In determining whether to originate commercial real estate loans, the
Bank  considers  such factors as the  borrower's  financial  condition  and debt
service coverage.

     Commercial  Real  Estate  Loans.   Commercial  real  estate  loans  provide
permanent  financing for commercial  and retail  structures,  office  buildings,
warehouses,  churches,  and multiple-family  buildings.  Most of these loans are
collateralized  by  owner-occupied  properties.  Commercial  real estate lending
entails a thorough analysis of the borrower's financial condition, industry, and
debt service coverage, and current and projected economic conditions. Commercial
real estate loans are made at both fixed and adjustable interest rates for terms
up to 15 years.

     Loans to  Individuals.  The Bank is a significant  major consumer lender in
its service area.  Loans to  individuals  include  personal 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  borrowers  on loans  that it  originates.  Loan  officers
complete a debt-to-income  analysis that must meet established  standards of the
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
Bank's  underwriting  standards  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 the applicant's creditworthiness is a primary consideration,  the
underwriting  process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral,
if any, 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 specific  loan
categories are as follows:


                                       9
<PAGE>

     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 includes the risk
that the borrower's  cash flow will be  insufficient to service the debt and the
risk that collateral will not be sufficient to offset any loss. Certain loans to
qualified  borrowers may be  unsecured.  Risk of  nonperformance  on these loans
includes 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  to offset any
loss.

     Agricultural  Loans.  Agricultural  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  greatest
concentration of loans,  approximately 40.4 percent of the portfolio at December
31, 1999.  However,  the amount of risk associated with these loans is mitigated
in part because of the type of loans  involved.  At December 31, 1999,  the vast
majority of the Bank's reals estate loans were  collateralized  by properties in
and around Amarillo, many of which are owner-occupied.  Historically, the losses
suffered on owner-occupied  properties have been small. Because of the volume of
real  estate  loans  in  the  Bank's  portfolio  which  are   collateralized  by
owner-occupied  properties,  and the  appraisal  and other real  estate  lending
policies 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 are a significant  percentage of
total  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 a softening  of the real estate
market may reduce demand for this product.

     Installment  Loans. Risk of nonperformance on these loans includes the risk
that the borrower's  cash flow will be  insufficient to service the debt and the
risk that the collateral will be insufficient to offset any loss. 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
believes  this trend may have an adverse  effect on the Bank's net  charge-offs.
Most of the Bank's loans to individuals  are  collateralized,  which  management
believes  will  limit its  exposure  in this area if current  bankruptcy  trends
continue.

Loan Policies and Underwriting Practices

     General.  The Bank's credit officers strive to accommodate all credit needs
of  creditworthy  borrowers.  Attempts are made,  within the  parameters  of the
Bank's loan policy,  as discussed below, to make and structure loans designed to
generate  future  business for the Bank. The Bank operates within the parameters
of its loan policy and  underwriting  standards.  These  policies and standards,
however,  may not  apply  to all  potential  borrowers  or  circumstances,  and,
accordingly,  deviations from the loan policy or underwriting standards, related
to either collateralization  requirements and/or loan-to-value ratio guidelines,
are made only in extreme situations.  These deviations, which are infrequent and
involve loans representing an insignificant  amount relative to the value of the
Bank's  overall  loan   portfolio,   are  addressed   individually   during  the
underwriting process and must be


                                       10
<PAGE>

approved before funding by the Bank's Loan Committee. Although the Bank does not
formally track these  deviations  from policy as a whole (except for real estate
loans), known deviations are addressed herein.

     The following summarizes the Bank's loan policy and underwriting practices.

     Loan  Policy.   The  Bank  maintains  a  comprehensive   loan  policy  that
establishes  guidelines  for all  categories of lending.  In addition,  the loan
policy  states each  credit  officer's  lending  authority  to make  secured and
unsecured loans in specific dollar amounts.

     The Bank's Loan Committee  administers  its loan policy in accordance  with
directives  from 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 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  residing in specified
counties in Texas and, to a lesser extent, in portions of the neighboring states
of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico.

     Other principles of the Bank's loan policy are described below:

o    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 a loan with no personal liability of the principal of
     a borrowing  entity when the  collateral  is the only source of  repayment.
     Although  the Bank  prefers  to  obtain  guarantees  of  payment  from each
     principal  of  a  closely  held   corporation,   this  is  not   considered
     non-recourse  lending if there is an additional  source of repayment  other
     than the collateral.

o    If an applicant or a loan application reflects a potential credit weakness,
     adequate additional support, such as co-signers or enforceable  guarantees,
     is sought.  However,  these are seldom  considered  the  primary  source of
     repayment and are, therefore, not heavily relied on by the Bank.

o    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, not as an absolute  measure of market
     value.

o    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  or  cattle,  or  inventory
     turnover).

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


                                       11
<PAGE>

agencies  and  enacted  much  legislation  that  governs  banks,   bank  holding
companies,  and the banking  industry.  Descriptions  of and  references  to the
statutes  and  regulations  below are brief  summaries  and 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 to acquire  more than 5 percent of the voting
stock or substantially  all the assets of any bank or bank holding company.  The
Company  currently  has no  formal  agreement  or  commitments  about  any  such
transaction.  However,  the  Company  evaluates  opportunities  to  invest in or
acquire  other banks or bank  holding  companies as they arise and may engage in
these transactions in the future. In addition,  the BHC Act restricts the Bank's
extension of credit 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 5 percent 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's  regulations  state
specific activities that are permissible under that exception.  The Company does
not currently  have any  agreements or  commitments  to engage in any nonbanking
activities.

     In approving  acquisitions by bank holding companies of banks and companies
engaged in banking-related activities, the Federal Reserve considers whether 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 any possible adverse effects
such 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  if their  actions  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 the 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 may also acquire shares of a company which furnishes
or performs  services for a bank holding company and acquire shares of the kinds
and in the amounts eligible for investment by national banking associations. The
Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  at  this  time  has no  plans  for  these
investments.


                                       12
<PAGE>

     Federal  banking law allows a bank holding  company to acquire or establish
banks in any state of the United States. In addition,  Texas banking laws permit
a  bank  holding   company  which  owns  stock  of  a  bank  outside  Texas  (an
"Out-of-State Bank Holding Company") to acquire a bank or a bank holding company
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 at least five years. In any event, however,
a bank  holding  company may not own or control  banks in Texas  whose  deposits
would exceed 20 percent of the total deposits of all federally  insured deposits
in Texas.  The Board of  Directors  of the  Company at this time has no plans to
acquire or establish banks outside Texas.

     The Bank

     The Bank is subject to various  requirements and restrictions under federal
and state laws, and to regulation,  supervision,  and regular examination by the
Comptroller.  The  Bank  is  subject  to  the  Comptroller's  power  to  enforce
compliance with applicable banking statutes and regulations.  These requirements
and restrictions  include  requirements to maintain  reserves against  deposits,
restrictions on the nature and amount of loans and the interest charged thereon,
and  restrictions  relating to investments and other  activities of the Bank. In
1999,   President  Clinton  signed  the   Gramm-Leach-Bliley   Act  which  makes
substantial  changes in the permitted  relationships  between banks,  securities
firms,  insurance companies and their holding companies.  The statute is too new
to be able to fully  evaluate its effects on the Company and the Bank.  However,
the Company  believes most of the direct  effects of the statute will be minimal
because it primarily  affects the  operations  of much larger  institutions.  In
addition,  Texas law still  prohibits banks domiciled in towns with a population
greater than 5,000 from engaging in the insurance business.

     Dividends.  The Bank may  generally  pay  dividends on its stock as long as
their payment complies with applicable law and regulations.  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, it can pay no dividend, 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  limited by a provision of the National  Bank Act that
prohibits  it from  declaring  a dividend  on its  shares of its stock  until 10
percent of its net profits are  transferred  to the surplus each time  dividends
are declared, unless the transfer would increase the bank's surplus to an amount
greater than its 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 to retire any preferred stock.  Additionally,  under 12 U.S.
C. ss. 1818, the  Comptroller has the right to prohibit the payment of dividends
by a national bank if the payment is deemed to be an unsafe and unsound  banking
practice.

     Transactions  with  Affiliates.  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 the transactions are  substantially  the same
or at  least  as  favorable  to the  Bank as  those  prevailing  at the time for
comparable transactions with or involving other non-affiliated  entities. In the
absence  of  comparable  transactions,  any  transaction  between a bank and its
affiliates must be on terms and


                                       13
<PAGE>

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 10 percent of the Bank's  capital  and  surplus  per
affiliate  and an aggregate of 20 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 may not purchase  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 executive officers, directors, and principal
shareholders. Among other things, the 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, the 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 the Bank's  failure to comply with these laws and  regulations,  whose scope
and requirements have expanded significantly in recent years.

     Branch  Banking.  Pursuant to the Texas Finance  Code,  all Texas banks may
branch statewide.  Accordingly, a bank located anywhere in Texas may, subject to
regulatory  approval,  establish  branch  facilities  near  any  of  the  Bank's
facilities  and  within  its  market  areas.  If other  banks  establish  branch
facilities near the Bank or any of its facilities, it is uncertain whether these
facilities would have a materially adverse effect on the Bank's business.

     In addition, as a result of the successful NationsBank litigation involving
branch banking  across the borders of Texas and  subsequent  action by the Texas
Legislature in 1999,  out-of-state  banks may branch into Texas, and Texas banks
may branch into other states.

     Since the Bank's primary service area is in Texas,  these  developments are
not  expected  to  have  any  material  effect  on the  Bank's  business  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 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  policies  influence  significantly  the overall  growth of bank
loans,  investments,  deposits,  and interest  rates charged on loans or paid on
time and savings deposits.  Any future monetary policies and their effect on the
Bank's business and earnings, therefore, cannot be predicted accurately.


                                       14
<PAGE>

     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.

     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,  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  percent)  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 percent of qualifying
total capital.

     Every  national  bank must  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 must
achieve and maintain a minimum  Core  Capital  Ratio of at least 4 percent and a
minimum Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8 percent.

     As of December 31, 1999,  the Bank's Core Capital Ratio was 17.21  percent,
and its Risk- Based Capital Ratio was 18.47 percent. In addition, national banks
generally must achieve and maintain a Leverage  Ratio of at least 4 percent.  As
of December 31, 1999, the Bank's Leverage Ratio was 16.71 percent.

     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 and 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 for the 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 the
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 the  addition or
employment becomes effective. During this 30-day


                                       15
<PAGE>

period,  the applicable  federal banking regulatory agency may disapprove of the
addition or  employment  of the director or officer.  The Bank is not  presently
subject to those requirements.

     FIRREA also expands and increases civil and criminal penalties available to
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 such as attorneys
and  accountants  and  others who  participate  in the  financial  institution's
affairs and who caused or are likely to cause more than minimum  financial  loss
to  or a  significant  adverse  effect  on  the  institution,  by  knowingly  or
recklessly  violating  a law or  regulation,  breaching  a  fiduciary  duty,  or
engaging  in unsafe  or  unsound  practices.  These  practices  can  include  an
institution's  failure to timely  file  required  reports or to submit  accurate
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 the  ordering  agency  determines  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 many  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 for troubled institutions.

     FDICIA requires every national bank with total assets over  $500,000,000 to
have an annual  independent  audit of its  financial  statements  by a certified
public  accountant  to verify that the  financial  statements  are  presented in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles and comply with other
disclosure requirements 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 adopted by the Comptroller,  a bank is "well capitalized"
if it has a total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10 percent or more, a Core Capital
Ratio of 6 percent or more,  and a Leverage  Ratio of 5 percent or more, and the
bank is not  subject to an order or  capital  directive  to meet and  maintain a
certain  capital  level. A bank is  "adequately  capitalized"  if it has a total
Risk-  Based  Capital  Ratio of 8 percent  or more,  a Core  Capital  Ratio of 4
percent or more,  and a Leverage  Ratio of 4 percent 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 percent or more). A bank is "undercapitalized" if
it has a total Risk-Based  Capital Ratio of less than 8 percent,  a Core Capital
Ratio of less than 4 percent, or a Leverage Ratio of less than 4 percent. A bank
is "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less
than 6 percent,  a Core  Capital  Ratio of less than 3  percent,  and a Leverage
Ratio of less than 3 percent. A bank is "critically  undercapitalized" if it has
a  Leverage  Ratio of 2  percent  or less.  In  addition,  the  Comptroller  may
downgrade a bank's  classification  (but not to  "critically  undercapitalized")
based on other considerations even if the Bank meets the capital guidelines.


                                       16
<PAGE>

According to these guidelines,  the Bank was classified as "well capitalized" as
of December 31, 1999.

     In  addition,  if a national  bank is  undercapitalized,  it must  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 Comptroller's acceptance of a
capital restoration plan for the bank.

     Furthermore,  if a national bank is  undercapitalized,  the Comptroller may
take certain actions to correct its capital position; if a bank is significantly
undercapitalized  or  critically  undercapitalized,  the  Comptroller  would  be
required to take one or more prompt  corrective  actions.  These  actions  would
require among other things: (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 critically undercapitalized,  FDICIA requires it to be placed
into  conservatorship or receivership within 90 days, unless the Comptroller and
the FDIC concur that other action would better achieve the FDICIA's purposes for
prompt corrective action.

     A bank's capital  classification affects the frequency of its examinations,
impacts  its  ability to engage in certain  activities,  and affects the deposit
insurance  premiums  it pays.  Under  FDICIA,  the  Comptroller  must  conduct a
full-scope,  on-site  examination  of every national bank at least once every 12
months. An exception to this rule is made, however,  for national banks (i) with
assets of less than $100,000,000,  (ii) categorized as "well capitalized," (iii)
found to be well  managed with an  outstanding  composite  rating,  and (iv) not
subject to a change in control  during the last 12 months;  these  banks will be
examined by the Comptroller once every 18 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 cannot accept those deposits. The FDIC may, on a case-by-case basis,
permit banks that are adequately  capitalized to accept brokered  deposits if it
determines that the deposits would not constitute an unsafe or unsound  practice
for the bank.

     In addition,  under  FDICIA,  the FDIC can 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 for 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 has three  subcategories,  resulting in nine  assessment  risk
classifications.  The three  subcategories about capital are "well capitalized,"
"adequately  capitalized,"  and "less  than  adequately  capitalized"  (includes
"undercapitalized,"    "significantly    undercapitalized,"    and   "critically
undercapitalized"  banks). The three subcategories for 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 weaknesses that, if
not  corrected,  could  result  in  significant  deterioration  of the  bank and
increased risk to the Bank


                                       17
<PAGE>

Insurance Fund. A bank is deemed subject to "substantial supervisory concern" if
it poses a substantial  probability  of loss to the Bank  Insurance  Fund of the
FDIC (the "BIF").

     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  these  standards  to  submit a  compliance  plan.  The  agencies  are also
currently proposing standards for asset quality and earnings. The Company cannot
predict what effect these guidelines will have on the Bank.

     Deposit  Insurance.  The Bank's  deposits  are insured up to  $100,000  per
insured account by the BIF. As an institution whose deposits are insured by BIF,
the Bank paid deposit insurance premiums to the BIF of approximately $22,800 for
the year ended December 31, 1999. 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.   During  its  1999  session,  the  Texas
legislature  enacted legislation  codifying the NationsBank  litigation to allow
interstate branch banking. See "SUPERVISION AND REGULATION -- Branch Banking."

     Interstate banking (e.g.,  out-of-state  holding companies  acquiring Texas
financial  institutions),  however,  cannot be prohibited  by states,  but it is
subject to certain state law limitations on the ages of the banks to be acquired
and on the total amount of deposits  within a state that a bank holding  company
may control.

     Management of the Company and the Bank cannot predict any other legislation
or regulations and their effects.

     THE FOREGOING  SUMMARIZES 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 investigations 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 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
those  properties  after  their  acquisition  and  could  be  held  liable  to a
governmental  entity or to third parties for property  damage,  personal injury,
and investigation and clean-up costs in connection with the  contamination.  The
costs of  investigation,  remediation,  or  removal of those  substances  may be
substantial,  and the  presence  of the  substances,  or the failure to properly
remediate the property, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent
the property or to borrow using the property as


                                       18
<PAGE>

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
the substances at the disposal or treatment facility,  whether or not the person
owns or operates  the  facility.  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 of the property.

     In its business,  the Company may acquire properties  through  foreclosure,
and  hazardous or toxic waste could be found on them.  The Company could then be
held  responsible  for  cleaning  up or removing  the waste,  and the cost could
exceed the value of the 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 December 31, 1999, the Bank
had 91 full-time and 14 part-time employees. Employees receive 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 its employees
to be good.

Dependence on Key Personnel

     The Company's and the Bank's growth and  development  since the Acquisition
on May 23, 1997,  have largely  depended  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.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

     The Company's executive and administrative offices are located at 905 South
Fillmore,  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 full-service branch offices in Amarillo (two branches),  Dalhart,
and Fritch, Texas, and is building a fifth branch as discussed below.

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.  The Bank leases  approximately 7,700 square feet of office space from
an  unaffiliated  third party.  This location  offers a walk-in lobby but has no
drive-in lanes.


                                       19
<PAGE>

     On February 2, 1998,  and February  17, 1998,  the Bank opened two de novo,
full-service  branches in commercial  areas of Amarillo.  One branch is near the
intersection of U.S.  Interstate 40 and Washington  Street and is highly visible
to passing traffic. The other branch is near the intersection of 34th Avenue and
Bell Street, also a highly visible location.  The Bank constructed and owns each
branch building and leases the ground space from unaffiliated third parties. The
leases expire in February 2010 and August 2027. Each stand-alone branch facility
is  approximately  2,500  square feet and has five  drive-through  lanes and one
walk-up automated teller machine.

     Effective  November 1, 1998,  the Bank leased ground space for a new branch
site to be located at the intersection of 45th Avenue and Coulter. The lease was
from a partnership  in which Donald E. Powell and Jay O'Brien,  Directors of the
Company,  are  partners.  Monthly  lease  payments  were  $3,757,  and the lease
extended  through  October 2013.  During 1999,  the Bank  purchased the land for
$521,000 and began  construction  on the new branch.  The two Directors sold the
land at their cost.

Dalhart, Texas

     On October 15, 1997, the Bank opened a de novo, full-service branch at 1723
Tennessee in Dalhart. This branch, which offers four drive-through lanes and one
drive-up automated teller machine,  is located in a strip shopping center in the
business  district  and is  surrounded  by  other  commercial  businesses.  This
facility,  which  occupies  approximately  5,500 square feet,  is leased from an
unaffiliated  third party.  The initial term of the lease will expire in October
2002 but may be renewed through October 2012.

Fritch, Texas

     The Fritch  branch of the Bank is  located  downtown  at 102 West  Broadway
(Highway 136). It consists of a one-story  brick building  (approximately  3,230
square feet) with three  drive-through  lanes and one drive-up  automated teller
machine; it is owned by the Bank.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  sometimes   involved  in  various  legal
proceedings  in the  normal  course of their  business.  None of these  matters,
either singularly or in the aggregate,  would have, in the management's opinion,
a material  adverse  effect upon the financial  statements of the Company or the
Bank.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

          None.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
         STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

     There is no  established  public  trading  market for the Company's  Common
Stock,  and, as the Transfer  Agent for the  Company's  Common  Stock,  the Bank
believes the Common Stock is seldom traded and is not  necessarily  aware of the
price for which it is bought or sold.  There can be no assurance  that an active
public trading market for the Company's Common Stock will be created.

     None of the Company's  shares of Common Stock (i) is subject to outstanding
options or warrants  to purchase  nor are any  securities  convertible  into the
Company's Common Stock,  except for options to purchase 608,317 shares of Common
Stock which were  outstanding at December 31, 1999, to key employees of the Bank
under the Company's 1998  Incentive  Stock Plan, or (ii) is being or proposed to
be publicly offered by the Company.

     The Company paid no cash  dividends on its Common Stock in 1997,  1998,  or
1999.  The Company  intends to retain all earnings to finance its operations and
does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision by
the Board of  Directors  to declare  dividends  in the future will depend on the
Company's  earnings,  capital  requirements,   financial  condition,  and  other
relevant factors.

     The  Company's  ability to pay  dividends is also  restricted by Texas law.
Generally,  Texas law  prohibits  corporations  from paying  dividends if, after
giving effect to the distribution,  the corporation  would be insolvent,  or the
distribution exceeds the surplus of the corporation.

     The Company is also  subject to the  dividend  restrictions  applicable  to
national banks because its principal  source of income is the dividends the Bank
pays to the Company. Under the National Bank Act, dividends may be paid only out
of retained earnings as defined in the statute.  The  Comptroller's  approval 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 6.   SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

     The following table gives  consolidated  selected  financial data about the
results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the periods and
at the dates  indicated.  Amounts are in thousands,  except for weighted average
shares  outstanding and per-share data.  These data are qualified by, and should
be read in conjunction with, the separate  financial  statements,  reports,  and
other financial  information  elsewhere in this document.  Certain  consolidated
financial data as of and for 1999,  1998, and 1997 are based on and derived from
audited financial  statements  elsewhere in this document.  Share data have been
adjusted to reflect the 77.4372-for-1 stock dividend on July 2, 1997.

     The Bank's  growth in loans and  deposits  during 1999,  1998,  and 1997 is
primarily  attributable  the  relocation  of its  main  office  from  Fritch  to
Amarillo,  a more  economically  vibrant market.  Deposit and loan growth can be
attributable to the new management  team,  which has emphasized  growth from the
Bank's existing client base,  capitalized on  opportunities in its target market
(e.g.,   customers  of  competing   financial   institutions),   and   delivered
personalized  banking  services to its customers.  In addition,  the Bank's loan
growth is  attributable  to its aggressive  commercial  lending  program and its
entry into  agricultural  and real  estate  lending  and strong  emphasis on the
commercial  loan  market.  See "Item 1.  BUSINESS  -- Change in  Management  and
Competitive  Focus" for  additional  information  regarding the various  factors
contributing to the Bank's recent growth.

<PAGE>

     Growth  in  total  assets  during  1999,   1998,   and  1997  is  primarily
attributable to the increase in the Bank's loan  portfolio,  which was supported
by a significant capital infusion after the Company's stock offering in 1997.

     The  increase  in 1999 and 1998  interest  income as  compared  to 1997 was
attributable  to the larger loan  portfolio,  and the  increase  in  noninterest
income was accompanied by increases in interest and noninterest expenses.  Lower
provisions  for loan  losses were  necessary  as compared to 1997 to maintain an
adequate  allowance for loan losses.  See "Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS--Provision  and
Allowance for Loan Losses" for  additional  information  about the provision for
loan losses.

ITEM 7.   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  and  comprehensive
income.   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 originally  began operations as Fritch State Bank on
April 10, 1965.

     Ownership of the Bank is the Company's  major  activity.  Activities of the
Company  are  limited  and are stated in Note 14 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly,  unless
specifically  noted  herein,  the  Company's  activities  as  described  in this
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations are virtually indistinguishable from those of the Bank.

     As more fully discussed in Item 1 "BUSINESS--General" to this Annual Report
on Form 10-K,  composition  of the  management  team 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
generally limited loans to selected  commercial and consumer  installment loans,
which  comprised  less than 10 percent 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,  average loans during 1999, 1998 and 1997 represented approximately
79 percent, 77 percent and 62 percent, respectively, of average total assets, as
compared to approximately 9 percent at December 31, 1996.

     The new management  team's  philosophy in growing the loan portfolio was to
hire  experienced  loan officers  (nine 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


                                       23
<PAGE>

continues to be, selective in deciding which customers to pursue to operate in a
safe and sound manner in accordance with the Bank's loan policy. Thus management
believes  that the  Bank's  loan  portfolio  growth  has been  achieved  without
relaxing  credit  underwriting  policies.  The  Bank's  loan  policy,  including
underwriting  standards,  is  discussed  at  length  in  Item 1  "BUSINESS--Loan
Policies and Underwriting Practices" to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Deposit growth was significant during 1999, 1998 and 1997 and was primarily
fueled by the additional  customers  gained through the process  mentioned above
and by the Bank's ability to attract  deposits  because of the reputation of its
management  team  and the  name  recognition  of  "The  First  National  Bank of
Amarillo"  in its  market.  The Bank  does not offer  above-market  rates on its
deposits and has no "brokered" deposits.

              For the Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

Results of Operations

     The  Company  experienced  net  earnings of  $4,092,725  for the year ended
December 31, 1999;  $3,304,303  for the year ended  December 31, 1998; and a net
loss of  $1,981,415  for the year ended  December 31,  1997.  Earnings for 1999,
1998, and 1997, were  significantly  influenced by activity in the allowance for
loan losses,  as discussed  below.  The return on average assets for 1999, 1998,
and 1997, was 1.53 percent, 1.65 percent, and (3.57) percent,  respectively, and
return on average equity was 9.45 percent,  8.37 percent,  and (15.13)  percent,
respectively.

     The improvement in return on average equity in 1999 and 1998 as compared to
1997 is primarily  attributable to higher net interest  income and  non-interest
income,  and a lower  provision  for loan losses,  both of which were  partially
offset by higher non-interest expense. The provision for loan losses in 1999 was
approximately  $1,300,000  in  comparison  to the 1998 and  1997  provisions  of
$975,000 and $2,700,000,  respectively. The larger provision in 1997 was made in
connection with the substantial growth in the loan portfolio in 1997. Management
believed  that the  allowance  for loan losses  should  grow also.  Accordingly,
management  made a subjective  determination  of the allowance  based on banking
experience and knowledge,  comparison to peers, and an intentional  effort to be
conservative. Management expects that appropriate, additional 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,  1999,  1998,  and 1997,  net interest
income was $13,354,688,  $10,215,928, and $2,759,399, respectively. The increase
in net interest  income during 1999 and 1998 of $3,138,760  (230.7  percent) and
$7,456,529  (271.3  percent),  respectively,  is primarily due to an increase in
average interest-earning assets of approximately $61,242,000 and


                                       24
<PAGE>

$131,946,000,  respectively,  net of an  increase  in  average  interest-bearing
liabilities of approximately $45,225,000 and $87,949,000, respectively.

     The following  table gives the average  consolidated  balance sheets of the
Company  and its  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:

amounts of the change in each.

Other Operating Income and Expense

     Other Operating Income.  Other operating income for 1999 and 1998 increased
by $696,700 (60.6 percent) and $987,867 (611.6 percent),  respectively,  because
of increased activity on deposit accounts.

     Other Operating  Expenses.  During 1999 and 1998, other operating  expenses
increased  by  $1,337,408   (21.1   percent)  and   $4,102,366   (183  percent),
respectively.  The increase in operating expenses was primarily  attributable to
the  Company's  overall  growth,  including  increases  of 8  and  40  full-time
equivalent employees in 1999 and 1998, respectively,  as compared to 1997 (which
accounted  for  approximately  $882,000  and  $1,933,000,  respectively,  of the
increase in operating expenses), and increases in other costs to conduct banking
operations   (which  accounted  for   approximately   $455,000  and  $2,170,000,
respectively, of the increase in operating expenses).

Securities Portfolio

     The Company's objective in its management of the investment portfolio is to
maintain high quality,  relatively liquid investments with competitive  returns.
During 1999, the weighted  average yield on taxable  securities was 5.56 percent
as compared  to 6.04  percent  during 1998 and 6.61  percent  during  1997.  The
Company primarily invests in U.S. Treasury  securities and other U.S. government
agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

Loan Portfolio

     During 1999,  total loans  increased by $75,071,134  from  $187,176,359  at
December 31, 1998, to $262,247,493 at December 31, 1999. From 1993 through 1996,
total loans were about $1.5 to $1.9  million.  At December 31, 1999,  1998,  and
1997,  net loans  accounted  for 86.2 percent,  74.2 percent,  and 80.9 percent,
respectively,  of total  assets.  The growth in the loan  portfolio  during 1997
through 1999 was primarily  attributable to the previously  discussed  change of
ownership  of the  Company  and the Bank,  the  change in  management  after the
Acquisition,  and,  as a result of the  management  change,  the Bank's  renewed
emphasis  on  lending  and its  recognition  of the  importance  of loans in its
overall asset mix.

     Prior management of the Bank generally limited loans to selected commercial
and consumer  installment loans, which portfolio of loans comprised less than 10
percent 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 an exceptional basis. During 1997, however,
the Bank relocated to the larger and more  economically  viable Amarillo market,
and new  management  changed  the  Bank's  lending  philosophy  to more  closely
resemble a traditional  commercial  banking business.  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 new customer  relationships  for the
Bank. As a result, at

December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, loans  represented  approximately 79 percent,
77 percent, and 62 percent,  respectively,  of total average assets, as compared
to less than 10 percent 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 in the
Bank's loan policy. Accordingly, management believes that the significant growth
in the Bank's loan  portfolio  during  1999,  1998,  and 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 percent of total
loans) and installment  loans  (representing  approximately  53 percent of total
loans). With the change in philosophy as described above,  agribusiness and real
estate  lending  activity  increased  from 0 percent  to 11  percent of the loan
portfolio,  respectively,  at December 31, 1996, to approximately 13 percent and
29 percent of total loans, respectively,  at December 31, 1997, approximately 27
percent and 35 percent of total loans,  respectively,  at December 31, 1998, and
approximately  15  percent  and 40  percent  of total  loans,  respectively,  at
December 31, 1999.

     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 it should be renewed or whether the borrower  should be requested to pay
off the loan at maturity.  The Bank cannot reasonably estimate the dollar amount
of loans maturing during 2000 which may ultimately be renewed.

     At December 31, 1999, 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 contacts.

     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  are  reasonable,  but which may not be  valid.  Thus,  there can be no
assurance that future  charge-offs 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 1999,  1998,  and 1997,  had a
significant impact on earnings.

     Additions to the allowance  for loan losses,  recorded as the provision for
loan  losses  on  the  Company's  consolidated   statements  of  operations  and
comprehensive  income,  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,  1999,  1998,  and 1997,  allowances  for loan losses were
$4,524,678,  $3,625,435,  and $2,748,418,  respectively,  which represented 1.73
percent, 1.94 percent, and 2.29 percent of outstanding loans at those respective
dates.  This compares to peer group percentages of the allowance for loan losses
to outstanding loans of 1.35 percent,  1.35 percent,  and 1.47 percent for 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.

     During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses
of $1,320,000,  $975,000 and $2,700,000,  respectively. The provisions were made
in connection  with the respective  increases of $75,071,134  and $67,325,677 in
the loan portfolio to $262,247,493  (1999),  from  $187,176,359  (1998) and from
$119,850,682  (1997).  The  increase in loans is primarily  attributable  to the
change in ownership and management's aggressive posture to grow the Company.


                                       30
<PAGE>

     Determination  of the Company's amount of the provision for loan losses for
1999,  1998 and 1997 was  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 percent 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,  with  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  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 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 and,  although  the  Company had no
significant impaired,  potential problem, or nonperforming loans at December 31,
1999,  management  recognized  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, although economic conditions are
currently good,  conditions can change, and making  conservative  provisions was
prudent.  Determination  of an  appropriate  allowance is subjective  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.

     The risk elements in the Company's  loan  portfolio are similar to those in
the loan portfolios of other  comparable  commercial banks in the Bank's lending
area  and  are   discussed  in  detail   under  the  caption   "GENERAL--Lending
Activities--Risk  Elements."  Management made a subjective  determination of the
proper level of the allowance for loan losses by  considering  each risk element
and drawing from collective  banking  experiences and knowledge of the Company's
market,  by  evaluating  overall  economic  conditions,  by  comparing  its loan
portfolio to those of peer banks, and by intentionally trying to be conservative
during the Bank's  significant  growth phase.  Management  thus  determined that
allowances  at December 31, 1999, of  $4,524,678  (representing  1.73 percent of
outstanding  loans) and at December 31, 1998, of $3,625,435  (representing  1.94
percent of outstanding loans) were appropriate.

     The  allowance  for loan  losses is not  specifically  allocated  among the
various categories of loans in the portfolio,  and management cannot predict the
amount of charge-offs by loan category in 1999.

     At December 31, 1999,  1998, or 1997,  there were no  significant  impaired
loans or loans delinquent over 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.  When 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.


                                       31
<PAGE>

     Management's  policy is to charge  off loans  when it  determines  that the
outstanding  principal on the loan is  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.

     Potential  Problem  Loans.  A  potential  problem  loan  is  one  in  which
management has serious doubts about the borrower's future  performance under 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, 1999, 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 determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

     Deposits.  Average total  deposits  were  $221,915,505,  $159,963,123,  and
$42,234,780, during 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Average interest-bearing
deposits  were  $163,514,848  in 1999, as compared to  $118,290,101  in 1998 and
$30,340,761 in 1997.

     The average daily amount of deposits and rates paid on savings  deposits is

Significant Financial Ratios

     The following  table shows  consolidated  operating and capital  ratios for
1999, 1998, and 1997.

     Return on assets declined slightly in 1999, but return on equity increased,
indicating  improved  leverage.  The  increase  in return on average  assets and
average  equity  from  1997 to 1998 is  primarily  attributable  to  higher  net
interest income and a lower loan loss provision.

Borrowed Funds

     The Company had no borrowed funds at December 31, 1999, 1998, or 1997.

Capital

     The  cornerstone  of the Company's  capital  structure is its common stock,
which represents 100 percent of total  capitalization  at December 31, 1999. The
Company's  equity base was  strengthened  significantly  during 1997 through the
issuance of common stock in an intrastate  offering to bona fide Texas residents
on August 31, 1997. The Company raised  approximately $40 million in new capital
in this offering.  The cash raised from the stock offering was used primarily to
increase  the  Bank's  capital  base  to  support  its  physical  expansion  and
significant  growth  in its  loan  portfolio  in  1999,  1998,  and  late  1997.
Additional  information  regarding the Bank's physical  expansion is given 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.

     Dependence  on this  additional  capital to support  the  significant  loan
growth was partially  offset by the significant  increase in the deposit base at
the Bank during 1999, 1998, and late 1997,  which provided an additional  source
of funding loan growth.  From  December  31,  1999,  through  December 31, 1998,
average total deposits at the Bank increased by $61,952,382,  from  $159,963,123
to $221,915,505,  an increase of approximately  38.7 percent.  From December 31,
1997, through December 31, 1998, average total deposits at the Bank increased by
$117,728,343  from $42,234,780 to $159,963,123,  or an increase of approximately
279 percent.  Additional information regarding the 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  from the stock  offering  has been used to support the
significant loan growth at the Bank following the Acquisition.

     The  Company  and the  Bank  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital
requirements of 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 the 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 the Bank's capital amounts
and classifications 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 the Bank to maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios (shown
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


                                       33

Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of
December  31,  1999,  that the Company  and the Bank meet all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

     The Company and the Bank exceeded their regulatory capital ratios, as shown
in the following table.

     The Company currently has no material  commitments for capital expenditures
and no  present  intention  to pay  dividends  on its  common  stock.  Given the
Company's  strong  capital  ratios  shown  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 to meet its day-to-day  cash-flow  requirements while maximizing  profits.
Liquidity  is the  Company's  ability  to  convert  assets  into  cash  or  cash
equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing
liabilities. Liquidity management is 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 when investment decisions are made. However,
net  deposit  inflows  and  outflows  are far less  predictable  and  cannot  be
controlled.

     The Company has  maintained a level of  liquidity  that is adequate for its
cash  requirements.  The Company's  funds-sold  position,  its primary source of
liquidity,  averaged  $26,719,378  during  the year  ended  December  31,  1999.
Management also has lined up potential purchasers of loans as a tool to maintain
liquidity.  The Company has numerous loan  participations  with other  entities,
primarily  financial  institutions.  Loan  participations  are common commercial
banking  arrangements  whereby the Company  sells,  on a  nonrecourse  basis,  a
portion of a loan to other entities.  These  arrangements  spread the risk among
the  entities  and provide  liquidity  to the Company  while  reducing its risk.
Although no formal  agreements or commitments  exist,  management  believes that
additional  significant loan participations  could readily be sold for liquidity
purposes, if necessary. Management regularly reviews the Company's liquidity 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 earnings 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. The Company's general
policy is to reasonably match the rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities
to prudently manage interest-rate risk. To accomplish this, the Company monitors
its interest-rate sensitivity,  or risk, and matches 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  difference  at any
given time is called 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 has a negative gap if the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities  maturing or repricing in a specified time period exceeds the amount
of  interest-earning  assets  maturing or repricing in the same period.  If more
interest-earning assets than interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice in a
specified  period,  then the institution has 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 faster 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  faster  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, 1999, which mature or reprice in 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  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.

     As  shown by the  table,  at  December  31,  1999,  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  affect  the  Company's  net  interest  margin,  and a falling
interest-rate  environment  would  negatively  affect the Company's net interest
margin.

     A static gap  report  consists  of an  inventory  of the dollar  amounts of
assets and liabilities that could mature or reprice in 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  indicates  the  Company's  gap position at a particular  time,  those
measurements  are not  intended to and do not  forecast the effect of changes in
market  interest  rates on the Company's gap position and may differ from actual
results after December 31, 1999.

Impact of Inflation

     Unlike most industrial  companies,  the assets and liabilities of financial
institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily monetary. Therefore,
interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company's  performance than
do the changes in the general rate of inflation and changes


                                       36
<PAGE>

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.

New Accounting Standards

     In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
which  addresses  the  accounting  for  derivative   transactions   and  hedging
activities.  Subsequently,  FASB  issued  Statement  No.  137 which  effectively
delayed adoption of No. 133 by one year. The Company will adopt the new standard
beginning with its 2001 fiscal year, when adoption is first required. Management
is currently  evaluating the reporting  requirements under this new standard and
has not yet determined its impact on the Company's financial results.

Year 2000 Disclosure

     In compliance  with the Year 2000 Readiness  Disclosure  Act, the following
information is provided as required for this section.

     Defining  the  Problem.  Many  computer  systems use a two-digit  format to
indicate the year in a date field,  rather than four digits. As a result of this
abbreviated  format,  systems may not  appropriately  interpret a year, and this
could cause  miscalculations,  computer errors, and even systems failures.  (For
example,  the year 2002 would be 02 in a two-digit format,  but the system might
read it as 1902.)

     Once the issue was defined,  a Y2K  Committee was appointed by the Board of
Directors to develop a strategy and project  plan.  This  committee  consists of
four  members  with  different  functional  backgrounds:   Operations,  Finance,
Lending,  and Compliance.  The Y2K Committee has developed a program for guiding
the Bank toward full Y2K compliance  through a multi-phase plan (some phases run
concurrently): Awareness, Assessment, Remediation, Testing, and Implementation.

     Impact  on the  Company.  An  overall  assessment  of the Y2K  problem  was
initiated   to   determine   its  impact.   Included  in  this  phase  were  the
identification  and  prioritization  of  the  Bank's  mission-critical  systems,
software,  and  support  equipment,  as well as a review  of all  customers  who
provide  business  services to the Bank.  An  inventory  of all systems laid the
groundwork  for the project.  Furthermore,  all essential  vendors and suppliers
were contacted to ascertain their Y2K compliance efforts, and no material impact
was identified. The assessment is 100 percent complete.

     Remediation  and  Testing.  The  Bank  relies  heavily  on a major  service
provider for its mission-critical applications and operations. Status reports of
this provider's Y2K readiness, including any remediation required, were given to
management regularly.

     This  system was tested on site in  February  1999.  Integrated  tests were
conducted on a  duplicated  client "Test  Bank." No  significant  problems  were
noted. In addition,  all internal platform systems were completely tested before
March 31, 1999.

     Other third-party  service  providers,  such as credit reporting  agencies,
document  processing  systems,  credit card  merchant  systems,  and  government
reporting  systems,  have been tested  internally  or certified as Y2K compliant
depending on the provider profile.


                                       37

     Risk Assessment (Safety and Soundness Issues). The most significant risk to
the Company is the potential  failure of its core operating  system.  The system
must be able to recognize and interpret dates correctly and to make  appropriate
calculations.  This risk is being mitigated  through testing and remediation (as
previously discussed);  however, another type of risk is also being addressed by
the Company: customer risk.

     The  negative  impact  of  large  customers  who have  not  dealt  with the
implications of the Y2K problem on their business  operations could pose serious
risks to the Company. Therefore, the Company developed a Risk Assessment Program
to determine the Y2K readiness of its significant customers,  both borrowers and
depositors,  and surveyed all borrowers with  outstanding  aggregate  loans over
$250,000.  The  level of  risk--low,  medium,  high--was  determined  through  a
questionnaire and internal guidelines.

     Additionally,  a  similar  review  was  conducted  quarterly  of all  large
depositors  to  ensure  Y2K  readiness  and to avoid  any  unforeseen  liquidity
problems for these customers.  As of December 31, 1999, most of the deposit base
has been determined to exhibit low-risk factors.

     The risk  assessment  program is ongoing,  and the results of the quarterly
analyses of loans and deposit  customers  are reported to the Board of Directors
quarterly.  Efforts and actions to offset any  defined or  potential  risks have
been prescribed in the program.

     Implementation  and Contingency  Planning.  Management  ascertained that no
applications  needed to be reprogrammed or replaced,  and a contingency  program
was completed. The program incorporated a business resumption plan for end-users
of all system data,  not only the mission-  critical  system.  For example,  the
preparation of loan documents will be manual, if the system is unreliable, until
the  Bank's  system  is  renovated  or  another  loan   processor  is  obtained.
Disruptions  in  processing  will be given utmost  attention  in  designing  and
implementing contingency plans.

     Additionally,  the Company has allocated  adequate  resources to manage the
Y2K project.  Expenses attributable to Y2K readiness have been less than $25,000
to date, none of which were incurred to repair or replace  software,  equipment,
or systems. These costs have been charged to expense as incurred.

     Management and directors of the Company believe an effective  program is in
place to address the Y2K problem.  As required by the regulatory  agencies,  the
Bank has made diligent  efforts to conform to all milestone dates defined in the
Federal Financial Institution  Examination  Council's guidance papers.  However,
the  Company  cannot  guarantee  there will be no impact  from Y2K issues on its
operations,  because  of  its  reliance  on  service-provider  systems  and  the
potential  impact on its customers.  The  development  of  contingency  plans to
minimize the risk to the Bank was given considerable  attention during 1999. The
Company does not believe that any  significant  problems have arisen as a result
of Y2K issues.

Forward-Looking Statements

                          Independent Auditor's Report

The Board of Directors
Tejas Bancshares, Inc.
Amarillo, Texas

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   consolidated   balance  sheets  of  Tejas
Bancshares,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the
related  consolidated   statements  of  operations  and  comprehensive   income,
stockholder's  equity  and cash  flows for each of the  years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1999. 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

                                   statements.

                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

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,  agricultural,  and real estate  loans.  The Company also
provides trust services.

During 1997, the corporate  structure of the Company  changed  significantly  as
follows:

o    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 Company  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  percent).  Goodwill in
     connection with the acquisition amounted to approximately $65,600.

o    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 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).

o    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 $3 per share.
     After 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  since 1997
primarily  because of the Bank's  relocation  of its main  office from Fritch to
Amarillo,  a larger and more  economically  vibrant banking market. 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 capitalized on
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 its aggressive
commercial  lending  program and its reentry into  agricultural  and real estate
lending and strong emphasis on the commercial loan market.

Effective  April 1, 1999,  the Company  established  a new  middle-tier  holding
company named Tejas Force,  Inc.  (Force).  The effect of the new company on the
consolidated  financial  statements  for the year ended  December  31,  1999 was
insignificant.

                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries.  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,  the  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.

Comprehensive Income

The Company  follows the  provisions of Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income. Under this standard, comprehensive income is now
reported  for all periods.  Comprehensive  income  includes  both net income and
other comprehensive  income.  Other comprehensive  income includes the change in
unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax.

Investment Securities

The Company classifies its investment  securities in three categories:  trading,
available-for-sale, and 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,  1999 or 1998.
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.

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
reported in other  comprehensive  income.  Realized gains (losses) on securities
available-for-sale  are included in other operating income and, when applicable,
are  reported  as  a   reclassification   adjustment,   net  of  tax,  in  other
comprehensive income. Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at
fair  value at the date of  transfer.  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

                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

Investment Securities (Continued)

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 a new cost basis for the
security.

Premiums and  discounts  are amortized or accreted over the life of the 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 suing 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  experiences  and general
economic conditions. The allowance is subjective 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.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

                     TEJAS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                        December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997

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.  These  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

Earnings per share have been computed in accordance  with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). Basic earnings per
share are computed by dividing  income  available to common  stockholders by the
weighted-average  number of common shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted
earnings  per share  reflect  the  potential  dilution  that could  occur if the
Company's stock options were exercised.  Such dilutive  potential  common shares
are calculated  using the treasury stock method.  All shares and per-share data,
except  par value per  share,  have been  retroactively  adjusted  to  reflect a
77.4372-for-1  stock split  effected as a stock  dividend by the Company in July
1997.

New Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 133,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  which
addresses the  accounting for derivative  transactions  and hedging  activities.
Subsequently,  FASB issued Statement No. 137 which delayed the effective date of
Statement No. 133 by one year. The Company will adopt the new standard beginning
with its 2001 fiscal  year,  when  adoption  is first  required.  Management  is
currently evaluating the reporting  requirements under this new standard and has
not yet determined its impact on financial results of the Company.

     This  information  is an  integral  part of the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements.

The Bank grants  consumer,  commercial,  agricultural,  and real estate loans to
customers primarily in Amarillo,  Texas, and the surrounding  geographical area.
Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its
debtors'  ability to honor their  commitments  depends  upon the real estate and
agricultural sectors.

The changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

Because of the Company's limited history to generate substantial taxable income,
a valuation  allowance was  established in 1997 to limit the  recognition of net
deferred tax assets to  approximate  the amount of taxes that was expected to be
paid in 1998.  During 1999 and 1998, the Company  generated  sufficient  taxable
income for which  management  believes  the Company  will  probably  realize the
recorded  deferred  tax assets.  Accordingly,  no valuation  allowance  has been
established at December 31, 1999 or 1998.

operations, and $(16,007), $(6,017), and $12,669, respectively, as components of
other  comprehensive  income for the tax effect of unrealized  holding gains and
losses on  available-for-sale  securities  recognized  for  financial  reporting
purposes.

Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S.
federal income tax rate of 34 percent in 1999, 1998, and 1997 to earnings (loss)
before income taxes as a result of the following:

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

Stock Options

On May 19, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved the Tejas Bancshares, Inc.,
1998  Incentive  Stock Plan (the Plan).  The Plan's  objectives  are to attract,
retain,  and provide  incentive to  employees,  officers,  and  directors and to
increase overall stockholders' value. The number of shares reserved for issuance
under the Plan is 1,333,333. The Plan provides for granting both incentive stock
options and  non-qualified  stock  options as well as  restricted  stock,  stock
appreciation  rights,  dividend  equivalent  rights,  stock  awards,  and  other
stock-based awards.

The exercise price of the options  granted  approximated  or exceeded the market
value of the  common  stock at the date of grant.  The  options  generally  vest
ratably over eight years from the date of grant and terminate ten years from the
date of grant.

The following  table  summarizes the Plan for the two-year period ended December
31, 1999:

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN (Continued)

The following table summarizes  information about options  outstanding under the
Plan at December 31, 1999:

                                Options Outstanding

The Company applies  Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock  Issued  to  Employees,  in  accounting  for the  Plan and  recognizes  no
compensation  costs in net  earnings  from the grant of options,  as options are
granted at exercise  prices equal to the current stock price.  Had  compensation
cost been determined  under SFAS 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,
the  Company's pro forma 1999 and 1998 net earnings and earnings per share would
have been as follows:

                                    1999            1998

In  accordance  with SFAS 123,  the fair  value of  options at date of grant was
estimated  using the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  with the  following
weighted-average assumptions:

                                1999          1998
                             -------       -------

Expected volatility            32.00%        32.00%
Expected dividend yield           --            --

In accordance with SFAS 123, the weighted  average fair value of options granted
during 1999 and 1998 was $3.28 and $4.28, respectively.

Directors' Stock Compensation Plan

During  October 1998,  the Company's  board of directors  approved a nonemployee
directors'  compensation  plan for the directors of the Bank.  The Plan provides
that directors will each receive

common stock as compensation  for serving.  Restricted  shares are issued to the
directors and are released after the end of each year of service. Shares related
to missed meetings or for termination are forfeited to the Company.  A committee
of the board  determined  the fair value at the date of issue.  During  1999 and
1998, a total of 10,800 and 64,600 shares,  respectively,  were issued under the
Plan.  Amortization of  compensation  cost in 1999 and 1998 amounted to $106,800
and $18,600, respectively.

NOTE 9 - 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 in  termination  clauses and may require
payment of a fee.  Since many  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  creditworthiness  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.  Standby  letters of
credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued  by  the  Bank  to  guarantee  the
performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is  essentially  the same as that  involved in extending  loan
facilities to  customers.  Unfunded  loan  commitments  and letters of credit at
December 31, 1999, were approximately $101,635,000 and $3,997,000, respectively.
Management does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

Like most  entities,  the Company may be exposed to risks  associated  with Year
2000 dating  problems.  This problem  affects  computer  software and  hardware;
transactions with customers,

vendors and other entities;  and equipment dependent on microchips.  The Company
recognizes that Year 2000 dating problems pose a risk beyond January 1, 2000, as
errors may not become  evident until after that date.  The Company has performed
the  remediation  steps it  believes  necessary  to  address  Year  2000  dating
problems.  It is not possible for any entity to guarantee the results of its own
remediation  efforts or to  accurately  predict  the impact of Year 2000  dating
problems on third parties with which the Company does  business.  If remediation
efforts of the  Company or third  parties  with which it does  business  are not
successful,  it is possible the Year 2000 dating problem could negatively impact
the Company's  financial  condition and results of operations.  The Company does
not believe any significant Year 2000 dating problems have occurred.

At December 31, 1999, the Company had  commitments to purchase bank premises and
equipment of $992,000.

NOTE 11 - 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 these methods and
assumptions to the financial instruments, and limitations inherent in fair value
estimates:

Commitments to Extend Credit

Generally,  the Bank  enters into  commitments  to extend  credit at  adjustable
interest terms.  Accordingly,  the commitment amount is a reasonable estimate of
fair value.

Cash, Due from Banks, and Federal Funds Sold

These 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

NOTE 11 - DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     (Continued)

carrying  value  of  restricted  equity  securities  approximates  fair  values.
Securities  available-for-sale  had a carrying  value (which  approximates  fair
value) of approximately $6,723,000 and $7,303,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

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 values of loans, net
of the  allowance  for loan  losses,  were  $257,722,815  and  $183,550,924,  at
December  31,  1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The fair  values of loans at those
dates were approximately the same as carrying values.

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, 1999 and 1998,  the
carrying values of deposits were $251,967,653 and $205,139,114.  The fair values
of deposits at those dates were approximately the same as carrying values.

Limitations

Fair value  estimates  are made at a specific  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 12 - RETIREMENT PLAN

Effective  January  1,  1999,  the  Company  adopted a 401(k)  plan that  covers
substantially  all eligible  employees.  The Company  matches  certain  employee
contributions and may also make other  contributions to the plan.  Contributions
of approximately $63,000 were made for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 13 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and the 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 the 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 the Bank's capital amounts
and classification  are also subject to qualitative  judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

NOTE 13 - REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios (given
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, 1999, that
the Company and the Bank meet all capital  adequacy  requirements  to which they
are subject.

As of December 31, 1999, 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 stated in the following  table.  There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

The Company's and the Bank's actual capital  amounts and ratios are presented in
the following table:

There are certain regulatory guidelines on the amount of dividends that the Bank
can pay to the Company.  These  guidelines do not  currently  have a significant
effect on the amount of dividends  paid by the Bank. The Bank also must maintain
certain  daily  reserve  balances as required by the Board of  Governors  of the
Federal Reserve System. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Bank
maintained average cash and due-from-bank  balances of approximately  $5,582,000
and $3,872,000, respectively, to satisfy those requirements.
