TEXAS REGIONAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and
cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However,
the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. The results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Texas
Regional Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas
Regional Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Texas Regional
Delaware, Inc. and Texas State Bank (the "Bank"). The Company eliminates all
significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. The Company
accounts for investments in the subsidiaries on the equity method in the
Parent's financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 133
("Statement 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging
Activities," was issued in June 1998. Statement 133 requires companies to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Statement 133
requires that changes in fair value of a derivative be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Statement 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not
currently have derivative instruments as defined by Statement 133.
NOTE 2: IMPAIRED LOANS
The Company identifies loans to be reported as impaired when such
loans are on nonaccrual status or are considered troubled debt restructurings
due to the granting of a below-market rate of interest or a partial forgiveness
of indebtedness on an existing loan. The balance of impaired loans was $7.1
million at March 31, 1999 and the average recorded investment in impaired loans
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $7.8 million. The total
allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $1.0 million at March 31,
1999. Interest income on impaired loans of $39,000 was recognized for cash
payments received during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
NOTE 3: COMMON STOCK
On March 9, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend or
$0.125 per share for shareholders of record on April 1, 1999 and payable on
April 15, 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This Management's Discussion and Analysis
includes forward-looking statements, such as: statements of the Company's goals,
intentions and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and
benefits; and statements of the Company's ability to achieve financial and other
goals. These forward looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties
because they are based upon: future interest rates and other economic
conditions; statements by suppliers of data processing equipment and services,
government agencies, and other third parties as to year 2000 compliance and
costs; future laws and regulations; and a variety of other matters. Because of
these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from
the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the
Company's past results do not necessarily indicate its future results.
The following presents Management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations at the
dates and for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the
accompanying notes.
GENERAL
Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. ("Texas Regional" or the "Company"),
a Texas business corporation incorporated in 1983 and headquartered in McAllen,
Texas, is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 ("the BHCA") and as such is registered with the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). Texas Regional
Delaware, Inc., incorporated under the laws of Delaware as a wholly owned second
tier bank holding company subsidiary, owns Texas State Bank (the "Bank"), the
Company's primary operating subsidiary. The Bank has two wholly owned
subsidiaries: (i) TSB Securities, Inc., incorporated in 1997 to provide full
service broker-dealer services and (ii) TSB Properties, Inc., incorporated in
1998 to receive and liquidate foreclosed assets.
Texas State Bank operates twenty banking locations in the Rio Grande
Valley including four banking locations in McAllen (including its main office),
four banking locations in Brownsville, three banking locations in Mission, two
banking locations in Weslaco, and one banking location each in Edinburg,
Harlingen, Hidalgo, Penitas, Raymondville, Rio Grande City and Roma. At March
31, 1999, Texas Regional had consolidated total assets of $1.8 billion, loans
outstanding (net of unearned discount) of $1.1 billion, total deposits of $1.6
billion, and shareholders' equity of $181.4 million.
On February 19, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of three
bank holding companies and their three subsidiary banks (the "Mergers"). The
acquisition of Brownsville Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Brownsville
National Bank, included two banking locations in Brownsville, Cameron County,
Texas, with assets of approximately $100.1 million, equity of $12.1 million,
loans of $42.6 million, and deposits of $87.2 million. The Company achieved this
acquisition by the exchange of 984,806 shares of Company stock for all of the
outstanding shares of Brownsville Bancshares, Inc. and cancellation of
outstanding stock options. Brownsville National Bank merged with and into the
Bank.
Page 7
<PAGE>
The second acquisition was TB&T Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary,
Texas Bank and Trust of Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas. Texas Bank and Trust
of Brownsville had assets of approximately $44.9 million, equity of $4.1
million, loans of $21.9 million, and deposits of $40.3 million. This acquisition
was achieved by exchange of 308,039 shares of Company stock for all of the
outstanding shares of TB&T Bancshares, Inc., a portion of which are retained in
a holdback escrow account pending resolution of certain claims. Texas Bank and
Trust of Brownsville merged with and into the Bank.
The third acquisition was Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. and its
subsidiary, Bank of Texas. Bank of Texas was headquartered in Raymondville,
Willacy County, Texas, with one additional banking facility in Brownsville,
Texas. The shareholder of Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. received cash consideration
of $9.6 million in this acquisition, and the Company paid $100,000 in
consideration for a covenant not to compete. The Company discharged
approximately $330,000 of existing Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. indebtedness. Bank
of Texas had assets of approximately $63.7 million, equity of $5.1 million,
loans of $25.5 million, and deposits of $56.5 million. Bank of Texas was merged
with and into the Bank.
The Company accounted for its acquisition of Brownsville Bancshares,
Inc. and TB&T Bancshares, Inc. under the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting, and as such, the enclosed financial information has been restated
for all periods presented to include the results of operations and financial
position of these acquired entities. A One Time Charge-Acquisitions of $682,000
or $0.03 per diluted common share, net of federal income tax, reduced net income
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. These expenses, primarily
professional fees and computer conversion costs, related to business
combinations accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method. The Company
accounted for its acquisition of Raymondville Bancorp, Inc. under the purchase
method of accounting; therefore, the results of operations are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, February 19,
1998.
The Company signed a letter of intent on April 21, 1999 to acquire
Harlingen Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Harlingen National Bank. At March
31, 1999, Harlingen Bancshares, Inc. had assets of $225.8 million, deposits of
$203.3 million, loans of $128.3 million and equity of $21.0 million. The
agreement provides for a cash consideration of approximately $34.0 million for
all outstanding shares of Harlingen Bancshares, Inc. The transaction is subject
to completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Company, execution of a
mutually acceptable definitive agreement and approval by the appropriate
regulatory authorities. The purchase is expected to close during the fourth
quarter 1999 and to be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company, through its main office and branches, offers a broad
range of commercial banking services to individuals and businesses in its
service area. It also acts as a correspondent to a number of banks in its
service area, providing check clearing, wire transfer, federal funds
transactions, loan participations and other correspondent services. The amount
of cash and cash equivalents held on any one day is significantly influenced by
temporary changes in cash items in process of collection. The Company had cash
and cash equivalents totaling $85.0 million at March 31, 1999. Comparatively,
the Company had $90.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998,
a decrease of $5.8 million or 6.4%.
SECURITIES
Securities consist of U.S. Treasury, federal agency, mortgage-backed
and state, county and municipal securities. The Bank classifies debt and equity
securities into one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available
for sale. At each reporting date, management reassesses the appropriateness of
the classification. Investments in debt securities are classified as Held to
Maturity and measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet only
if management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to
maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near term are classified as Trading and measured at fair
value in the consolidated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses
included in earnings. Securities not classified as either held to maturity or
trading are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the
consolidated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in
a separate component of shareholders' equity net of applicable income taxes
until realized.
At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, no securities were
classified as trading. The Company does not currently engage in trading
activities or use derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even
though such
Page 8
<PAGE>
activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the
Company does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

Net unrealized holding gains (losses), net of related tax effect, of
$(711,000) and $609,000 at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively,
on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity and as other comprehensive income.
Securities with carrying values of $414.6 million at March 31, 1999
and $351.7 million at December 31, 1998 were pledged to secure public funds,
trust assets on deposit and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
LOANS
The Company manages its credit risk by establishing and implementing
strategies and guidelines appropriate to the characteristics of borrowers,
industries, geographic locations and risk products. Diversification of risk
within each of these areas is a primary objective. Policies and procedures are
developed to ensure that loan commitments conform to current strategies and
guidelines. Management continually refines the Company's credit policies and
procedures to address the risks in the current and prospective environment and
to reflect management's current strategic focus. The credit process is
controlled with continuous credit review and analysis, and by review by internal
and external auditors and regulatory authorities. The Company's loans are widely
diversified by borrower and industry group.
The Company has collateral management policies in place so that
collateral lending of all types is approached on a basis consistent with safe
and sound standards. Valuation analysis is utilized to take into consideration
the potentially adverse economic conditions under which liquidation could occur.
Collateral accepted against the commercial loan portfolio includes accounts
receivable and inventory, marketable securities, equipment and agricultural
products. Autos, deeds of trust, life insurance and marketable securities are
accepted as collateral for the installment loan portfolio.
Management of the Company believes that the Company has benefited
from increased loan demand due to passage of the North American Free Trade
Agreement ("NAFTA") and the strong population growth in the Rio Grande Valley.
More recently, the continued devaluation of the Mexican peso relative to the
U.S. dollar has reduced retail sales to residents of Mexico. However, the
effects of NAFTA and the devaluations have also increased cross-border trade and
industrial development including activity at twin manufacturing plants located
on each side of the border (referred to as maquiladoras) which benefit the Rio
Grande Valley economy. Management believes the on-going Mexican financial
problems will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's growth and
earnings prospects, in part because the Company presently has a low percentage
of loans secured by Mexican assets or that otherwise rely on collateral located
in Mexico.

The extension of credits denominated in a currency other than that of
the country in which a borrower is located are called "cross-border" credits.
The Company has some dollar-denominated cross-border credits to individuals or
companies that are residents of, or domiciled in Mexico. The Company's total
cross-border credits at March 31, 1999 of $7.5 million were less than .7% of
total loans. See "Nonperforming Assets" for additional information on
cross-border credits.
Total loans of $1.1 billion at March 31, 1999 increased $54.7 million
or 5.0% compared to December 31, 1998 levels of $1.1 billion. The increase in
total loans for the three months ended March 31, 1999 reflects growth in all
loan categories except Commercial Tax-Exempt loans and is representative in part
to the vitality of the Rio Grande Valley economy. A substantial portion of the
increase in loans classified as Real Estate-Commercial Mortgage loans consists
of loans secured by real estate and other assets to commercial customers.

=======================================================================
The Company's policy on maturity extensions and rollovers is based on
management's assessment of individual loans. Approvals for the extension or
renewal of loans without reduction of principal for more than one twelve-month
period are generally avoided, unless the loans are fully secured and properly
margined by cash or marketable securities, or are revolving lines subject to
annual analysis and renewal.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
The Company has several procedures in place to assist in maintaining
the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Bank has established underwriting
guidelines to be followed by its officers and monitors its delinquency levels
for any negative or adverse trends.
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans for which the
interest rate has been renegotiated below originally contracted rates and real
estate or other assets that have been acquired in partial or full satisfaction
of loan obligations. The Company's policy generally is to place a loan on
nonaccrual status when payment of principal or interest is contractually past
due 90 days, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of
principal and interest. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
interest previously accrued but uncollected is reversed and charged against
current income. The Company's classification of nonperforming loans includes
those loans for which management believes collection is doubtful. Management is
not aware of any specific borrower relationships that are not reported as
nonperforming where management has serious doubts as to the ability of such
borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which would cause
nonperforming assets to increase materially.
Nonperforming assets of $13.3 million at March 31, 1999 decreased
$2.4 million, 15.5% compared to December 31, 1998 levels of $15.8 million.
Nonaccrual loans of $7.1 million at March 31, 1999 decreased $3.3 million or
31.6% compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in nonaccrual
loans during 1999 resulted from foreclosure on several credits secured primarily
by real estate. Cross-border nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1999
Page 10
<PAGE>
of $2.6 million reflect no change from December 31, 1998. The increase in
foreclosed assets during 1998 was primarily attributable to a higher rate of
foreclosure loans with real estate collateral, net of write-downs and
liquidations. Management actively seeks buyers for all Other Real Estate. See
"Noninterest Expense" below.
Loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more, which are
both well secured or guaranteed by financially responsible third parties and in
the process of collection, generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The
amount of such loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 1999 and December 31,
1998 that are not classified as nonaccrual totaled $5.9 million and $3.1
million, respectively. The increase in accruing loans past due 90 days or more
at March 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 is partly
attributable to several diverse loans secured primarily by real estate. The
ratio of Nonperforming Assets Plus Accruing Loans 90 Days or More Past Due as a
percent of Total Loans and Foreclosed Assets at March 31, 1999 decreased to
1.67% from 1.72% at December 31, 1998 due primarily to the increase in total
loans.
The Company identifies loans to be reported as impaired when such
loans are on nonaccrual status or are considered troubled debt restructurings
due to the granting of a below-market rate of interest or a partial forgiveness
of indebtedness on an existing loan. The balance of impaired loans was $7.1
million at March 31, 1999 and the average recorded investment in impaired loans
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $7.8 million. The total
allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $1.0 million at March 31,
1999. Interest income on impaired loans of $39,000 was recognized for cash
payments received during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Management regularly reviews and monitors the loan portfolio to
identify borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Management believes
that, at March 31, 1999, all such loans had been identified and included in the
nonaccrual, renegotiated or 90 days past due loan totals reflected in the table
above. Management continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of
nonperforming assets and returning nonperforming assets to an earning status.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management analyzes the loan portfolio to determine the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision required to maintain
an adequate allowance. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management
reviews the size, quality and risks of loans in the portfolio and considers
factors such as specific known risks, past experience, the status and amount of
nonperforming assets and economic conditions. A specific percentage is allocated
to total loans in good standing and additional amounts are added for individual
loans
Page 11
<PAGE>
considered to have specific loss potential. Loans identified as losses are
charged-off. In addition, the loan review committee of the Bank reviews the
assessments of management in determining the adequacy of the Bank's allowance
for loan losses. Based on total allocations, the provision is recorded to
maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, there can be
no assurance that future additions to the allowance will not be necessary.
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1999 totaled $13.7
million, representing a net increase of $437,000 or 3.3% compared to $13.2
million at December 31, 1998. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses at March 31, 1999 adequately reflects the risks in the loan portfolio.
Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan
losses (dollars in thousands):

$172,000 or .2% compared to $69.8 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 resulted primarily from depreciation and
amortization, net of additions.
GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES
Intangibles of $26.2 million at March 31, 1999 decreased $679,000 or
2.5% compared to $26.9 million at December 31, 1998. The net decrease for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 is attributable to amortization of existing
intangibles.

increase in total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 1999 is
primarily attributable to growth in the volume of business conducted by the
Company and the vitality of the Rio Grande Valley economy. The following table

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Shareholders' equity increased by $3.9 million, or 2.2%, during the
three months ended March 31, 1999 due to comprehensive income of $5.7 million
less cash dividends of $1.8 million. Comprehensive income for the period
included net income of $7.1 million and unrealized loss on securities available
for sale, net of tax, of $1.3 million.

On March 31, 1999, the Company and the Bank also met the criteria for
classification as a "well-capitalized" institution under the prompt corrective
action rules promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Designation as
a well-capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a
recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Bank by Federal bank
regulators.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
Net income available for common shareholders was $7.1 million and
$5.8 million and earnings per diluted common share were $0.48 and $0.40 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During the three
months ended March 31, 1998, the Company incurred a One Time Charge-Acquisitions
of $682,000 or $0.03 per diluted common share, net of federal income tax. These
expenses, primarily professional fees and computer conversion costs, related to
business combinations accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method.
Increases in net income were primarily the result of strong loan growth,
maintaining strong asset quality and expense control and resulted in returns on
average assets of 1.61% and 1.49% and returns on average common equity of 15.88%
and 14.37% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $33.0
million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 8.0% from the three months ended March
31, 1998. This increase in interest income is due to a $175.5 million increase
in average earning assets to $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31,
1999, a 12.3% increase from the same period last year.
Interest income on loans increased $2.3 million to $25.8 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. This was due to a $132.9 million increase
in average loans outstanding over the same period in 1998. Interest income on
securities increased to $6.9 million, a $206,000 increase from the prior
comparable period. This increase was attributable to a $40.4 million increase in
average securities, up 9.6% when compared to the three months ended March 31,
1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings was $14.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $14.0 million for the
same period in 1998. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a
$147.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from the prior
comparable period.
Page 14
<PAGE>
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, reported on a tax equivalent basis, was $19.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared with $16.9 million
for the same period in 1998, an increase of 12.1%. The increase in net interest
income during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was largely due to growth in
average interest-earning assets, primarily loans.
The net interest margin was 4.80% for the three months ended March
31, 1999, compared with 4.81% in the first quarter 1998. This nominal decrease
was attributable to a thirty four basis point decrease in the yield on average
interest earning assets to 8.43%, down from 8.77% for the same period last year.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities also decreased 40 basis points to 4.33%
for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
The following table presents for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 total dollar amount of interest income from average
interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, reported on a tax-equivalent
basis, and average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and
rates. Average balances are derived from average daily balances and the yields
and costs are established by dividing income or expense by the average balance
of the asset or liability. Income and yield on interest-earning assets include
amounts to convert tax-exempt income to a

(1) For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities
issued by state and local governments or authorities, is adjusted by an
increment that equates tax-exempt income to interest from taxable assets
(assuming a 35% effective federal income tax rate for 1999 and 1998).
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $941,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The provision for loan losses reflected an increase of
$382,000 or 40.6% for first quarter 1999 necessary to maintain the total
allowance for loan losses at an adequate level consistent with the Company's
methodology. Net charge-offs totaled $886,000 and $425,000, respectively, for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and increased to .32% of average
loans in 1999 compared to .17% of average loans for 1998.
Management charges provisions for loan losses to earnings to bring
the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate. Management
bases its decision on many factors which include historical experience, the
volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming
assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, and
general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company's
lending area. See "Allowance for Loan Losses."
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest Income totaled $4.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to $4.0 million for 1998. Excluding Net Realized Gains
on Sales of Securities Available for Sale in 1998, Noninterest Income increased
$416,000 or 11.1% from 1998.
Total Service Charges of $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, increased $310,000 or 12.8% compared to $2.4 million for same
period in 1998. The increase in Total Service Charges is attributable to
increased account transaction fees generated by deposit growth experienced by
the Company.
Trust Service Fees of $481,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 increased $34,000 or 7.6% compared to $447,000 for comparable prior year
period. The increase in Trust Service Fees is attributable to an
Page 17
<PAGE>
increase in the number of trust accounts managed. The fair market value of
assets managed at March 31, 1999 of $328.9 million increased $54.4 million or
19.8% compared to $274.6 million at March 31, 1998. Assets held by the trust
department of the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities are not assets of the
Company and are not included in the consolidated balance sheets.
Net Realized Gains on Sales of Securities Available for Sale totaled
$ - for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased $222,000 or 100.0%
compared to $222,000 for 1998. Market opportunities to realize bond profits were
limited as bond prices generally fell during the first quarter 1999. Unrealized
holding losses on securities available for sale totaled $1.3 million during the
quarter (see "Shareholders' Equity").
Data Processing Fees of $495,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 increased $154,000 or 45.2% compared to $341,000 for the same period last
year. This increase arose from the acquisition of additional banking clients and
increased utilization of services offered to existing clients during 1998. The
Company obtained two additional banking clients during the past year.
Other Operating Income of $455,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 decreased $82,000 or 15.3% compared to $537,000 for the same 1998
period. Other Operating Income included a gain on sale of bank real estate of
$158,000 in the prior year period.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest Expense of $10.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 increased $12,000 or .1% compared to $10.5 million for 1998. The
efficiency ratio of expense to total revenue improved to 45.11% for the first
quarter 1999 compared to 50.62% for the first quarter 1998. Excluding One Time
Charge - Acquisitions of $682,000 in 1998, Noninterest Expense increased
$694,000 or 7.0 percent over first quarter 1998. The increase results primarily
from higher personnel costs and occupancy expenses associated with the new
corporate headquarters building in McAllen, Texas opened in mid 1998.
Salaries and Employee Benefits, the largest category of Noninterest
Expense, of $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased
$300,000 or 6.4% compared to the same period last year of $4.7 million. The
number of full-time equivalent employees of 753 at March 31, 1999 increased
12.9% from 667 at March 31, 1998. Salaries and Employee Benefits averaged 1.12%
of total assets for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 1.18% for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Net Occupancy Expense of $985,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 increased $207,000 or 26.6% compared to $778,000 for 1998. Expenses
associated with the new corporate headquarters building in McAllen, Texas,
opened mid-1998, contributed to the increase in Net Occupancy Expense during the
three months ended March 31, 1999.
Equipment Expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 increased $89,000 or 7.8% compared to $1.1 million for 1998. Expenses
associated with the new corporate headquarters building contributed to the
increase in Equipment Expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Other Real Estate (Income) Expense, Net, includes rent income from
foreclosed properties, gain or loss on sale of other real estate properties and
direct expenses of foreclosed real estate including property taxes, maintenance
costs and write-downs. Write-downs of other real estate are required if the fair
value of an asset acquired in a loan foreclosure subsequently declines below its
carrying value. Other Real Estate (Income) Expense, Net of $93,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 increased $38,000 or 69.1% compared to $55,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The net increase for first quarter 1999
is primarily attributable to higher volumes in Other Real Estate owned
offsetting increased operating income and gain on sale of foreclosed properties.
Management is actively seeking buyers for all Other Real Estate.
Amortization of Goodwill and Identifiable Intangibles of $680,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $59,000 or 9.5% compared to
$621,000 for 1998. The increase in Amortization of Goodwill and Identifiable
Intangibles was due to the amortization of goodwill and core deposit premiums
associated with the 1998 acquisitions.
One Time Charge - Acquisitions of $682,000, related primarily to
professional fees and computer conversion cost resulting from the Company's 1998
acquisitions.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The increase in income tax expense is due primarily to an
increased level of pretax income for the first quarter 1998.
Page 19

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY
Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in
accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). The
guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. On March 31,
1999, the Company exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total
risk-based capital ratio of 13.73%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.62%,
and a leverage ratio of 8.90%.
Liquidity management assures that adequate funds are available to
meet deposit withdrawals, loan demand and maturing liabilities. Insufficient
liquidity can result in higher costs of obtaining funds, while excessive
liquidity can lead to a decline in earnings due to the cost of foregoing
alternative investments. The ability to renew and acquire additional deposit
liabilities is a major source of liquidity. The Company's principal sources of
funds are primarily within the local markets of the Bank and consist of
deposits, interest and principal payments on loans and securities, sales of
loans and securities and borrowings.
Cash and assets which are readily marketable, or which can be
pledged, or which will mature in the near future provide asset liquidity. These
include cash, federal funds sold and U.S. Government Agency and mortgage-backed
securities. At March 31, 1999, the Company's liquidity ratio, defined as cash,
U.S. Government Agency and mortgage-backed securities and federal funds sold as
a percentage of deposits, was 32.1% compared to 33.0% at December 31, 1998.
Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources,
principally various customers' interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit
accounts in the Company's trade area. The Company does not have nor does it
solicit brokered deposits. Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings are
additional sources of liquidity. These sources of liquidity are short-term in
nature, and are used, as necessary, to fund asset growth and meet short-term
liquidity needs.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, funds for $69.2 million
of securities purchases and $54.7 million of net loan growth came from various
sources, including a net increase in deposits of $51.6 million and $57.3 million
in proceeds from maturing securities and $7.1 million of net income.
The Company is dependent on dividend and interest income from the
Bank and the sale of stock for its liquidity. Applicable Federal Reserve Board
regulations provide that bank holding companies are permitted by regulatory
authorities to pay cash dividends on their common or preferred stock if
consolidated earnings and consolidated capital are within regulatory guidelines.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Financial institutions are impacted differently by inflation than are
industrial companies. While industrial and manufacturing companies generally
have significant investments in inventories and fixed assets, financial
institutions ordinarily do not have such investments. As a result, financial
institutions are generally in a better position than industrial companies to
respond to inflationary trends by monitoring the spread between interest costs
and interest income yields through adjustments of maturities and interest rates
of assets and liabilities. In addition, inflation tends to increase demand for
loans from financial institutions as industrial companies attempt to maintain a
constant level of goods in inventory and assets. As consumers of goods and
services, financial institutions are affected by inflation as prices increase,
causing an increase in costs of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy expense
and similar items.
YEAR 2000 PROJECT
GENERAL
The Year 2000 problem affects all companies. This problem is rooted
in storage constraints of systems developed in the 1960's and 1970's. Many
computer codes used only two-digit year codes, e.g., 98 instead of four digits,
1998. Thus, many computer applications interpret the year "00" as 1900 and
accordingly need to be modified to process in the next century.
In the early 1990's, management of Texas State Bank (the "Bank")
decided to process all data in-house and offer data processing services to third
party banks. As part of this initiative, management decided to purchase all
Page 20
<PAGE>
critical software and support services from third party software vendors. All of
the critical software purchased had already been coded to recognize a four-digit
date. The Bank has no computer applications developed in-house.
STATE OF READINESS
In early 1997, the Bank established an ongoing corporate-wide effort
to address the issues associated with the Year 2000. The Bank adopted the phased
approach to Year 2000 project management as outlined by the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"). The Bank's project goals are to meet
if not exceed all Year 2000 regulatory guidelines. This approach requires the
active involvement of management and the Board of Directors. This active
management involvement provides the sponsorship and commitment to ensure the
business issues and risks are adequately addressed and resolved. The FFIEC
phases used are Awareness Phase, Assessment Phase, Renovation Phase, Validation
Phase and Implementation Phase.
AWARENESS PHASE: DEFINE THE PROBLEM AND GAIN MANAGEMENT SUPPORT.
The Bank established a Year 2000 Committee comprised of all levels of
management to address the Year 2000 project. An action plan was developed that
includes strategies for dealing with in-house and third party computer systems,
vendors, customers and business partners. An ongoing process to continually
evaluate customers, business partners and management practices and policies will
be phased in as the Year 2000 project evolves.
ASSESSMENT PHASE: ASSESS THE SIZE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM. EVALUATE RISK
IMPACT AND ESTABLISH CONTINGENCY PLANS.
The Bank has essentially completed the assessment phase. Information
Technology "(IT)" and Non IT systems have been identified. Systems have
generally been identified as Core Mission critical, Non Mission critical and
Business critical. Risk impact of material customers and other business partners
are identified and due diligence procedures developed. The impact of strategic
business initiatives, resources, needs and time lines have been addressed. A
contingency plan for the Bank was completed on June 22, 1998 and addresses Core
Mission critical and Business critical systems. Continually assessing risk is a
major goal in the Year 2000 process.
RENOVATION PHASE: UPGRADE OR REPLACE NON-COMPLIANT SYSTEMS.
Core Mission critical software and hardware vendors of the Bank have
represented their products as being Year 2000 compliant. The Bank is currently
testing these products to corroborate the vendor representations. Certain Non
Mission critical systems have been identified as not Year 2000 compliant. These
systems will require the purchase of compliant systems from third party vendors.
Renovation timelines have been established and all upgrades will be completed by
June 30, 1999.
VALIDATION PHASE: TESTING CURRENT AND UPGRADED SYSTEMS.
The Bank has created a Year 2000 Test Lab located in the Data Center
to test many of the internal and external Core Mission critical systems. The
Bank completed all internal Core Mission critical testing by September 30, 1998.
In addition, the Bank has requested and received vendor representations that all
Core Mission critical applications are Year 2000 compliant. The Data Center and
appropriate operating departments at March 31, 1999 had completed interface
testing with FEDLINE.
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE: SYSTEMS MUST BE YEAR 2000 READY BEFORE YEAR 2000.
In this phase, all systems should be fully renovated, tested and
certified as Year 2000. If systems fail to meet Year 2000 requirements,
contingency plans will be implemented. The Bank anticipates that all systems
will be fully renovated and tested by June 30, 1999.
Page 21
<PAGE>
ESTIMATED COSTS
The Bank has estimated the total cost of the Year 2000 project at
$500,000. The approximate cost expensed was $31,000 in 1997, $253,000 in 1998
and is estimated to be $216,000 in 1999.
RISK
Testing and planning do not ensure that any organization will be able
to conduct business around and after the Year 2000. Testing does not ensure that
the Bank's customers and other business partners will be able to conduct
business. The Bank is performing due diligence on its customers and other
business partners. Where our customers and business partners are regulated, we
take comfort from knowing that this is a regulated entity and its regulator is
doing its own due diligence. Where our customers and business partners are not
regulated, the Bank implemented processes for evaluating readiness of customers
and business partners for the Year 2000. These processes are continuously
monitored.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Bank has implemented procedures and continues to refine its
processes for evaluating its business readiness. Still, the possibility exists
that something can go wrong. The Bank has prepared contingency plans to ensure a
smooth flow of funds in the event of unforeseen problems. The effect of many
business disruptions at the same time may impact the Bank. These contingency
plans are reviewed continually to reasonably address these incidents.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The funds management policy of the Company is to maintain a
reasonably balanced position of rate sensitive assets and liabilities to avoid
adverse changes in net interest income. Changes in net interest income occur
when interest rates on loans and investments change in a different time period
from that of changes in interest rates on liabilities, or when the mix and
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities change. In
order to measure earnings and fair value sensitivity to changing rates, the
Company uses three different measure tools including static gap analysis,
simulation earnings, and market value sensitivity (fair value at risk).
The static gap represents the dollar amount of difference between
rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities within a given time period.
Static gap analysis is the simplest representation of the Company's interest
rate sensitivity. However, it cannot reveal the impact of factors such as
administered rates (e.g., the prime lending rate), pricing strategies on
consumer and business deposits, changes in balance sheet mix, or the effect of
various options embedded in balance sheet instruments. Accordingly, the Funds
Management Committee conducts simulations of net interest income under a variety
of market interest rate scenarios. These simulations which consider forecasted
balances sheet changes, and forecasted changes in interest rate spreads provide
the Committee with an estimate of earnings at risk for given changes in interest
rates.
At March 31, 1999, based on these simulations, earnings at risk to an
immediate 100 basis points decline in market interest rates was estimated to be
6.8 percent of projected net interest income for the following twelve months. An
immediate 100 basis point decline in interest rates is a hypothetical rate
scenario, used to calibrate risk, and does not necessarily represent
management's current view of future market developments.
All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon the
Company's business mix and interest rate exposures at the particular point in
time. The exposures change continuously as a result of the Company's ongoing
business and its risk management initiatives. While management believes these
measures provide a meaningful representation of the Company's interest rate
sensitivity, they do not necessarily take in account all business developments
that have an effect on net income, such as changes in credit quality or the size
and composition of the balance sheet.
The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use
derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such
activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the
Company does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.
Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the
Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk
and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's
business activities.
