	Surety Capital Corporation (the "Registrant") is a bank
holding company which owns all of the issued and outstanding
stock of Surety Bank, National Association, a national banking
association ("Surety Bank").  On April 14, 1999 Surety Bank
entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the
"Agreement") with The Citizens National Bank in Waxahachie
("Citizens"), Waxahachie, Texas, to sell to Citizens Surety
Bank's two branches located in Midlothian and Waxahachie, Texas
(the "Branches").  The sale of the Branches was consummated on

approximately $13,117,000, real property, furniture and
equipment totaling approximately $1,543,000, and cash and other
assets totaling approximately $30,922,000, and Citizens assumed

percent (11%) on the deposits assumed totaling approximately
$4,950,000, and a loan premium of 2.5% of the loans sold
totaling approximately $328,000, Surety Bank paid approximately
$24,870,000 in cash to Citizens as consideration for the net
deposit liabilities assumed by Citizens.
