Note 
 
 
1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial  statements for June 30, 1996,  and December 31, 1995,  contain 
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) in conformity  
with generally accepted accounting  principles necessary to present fairly the 
financial position as of June 30, 1996,  and December 31, 1995,  the results 
of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 
1995, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the 
financial condition of Allegiance Banc Corporation (the Company) and its 
wholly owned subsidiary, Allegiance Bank, N.A. (the Bank), as of June 30,
1996,  and December 31, 1995,  the results of operations for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

                                   FINANCIAL CONDITION 

    During the first six months of 1996, total assets increased by 1.6 percent,
from $131.1 million to $133.2 million.  Short term investments in federal 
funds amounting to $4.9 million at December 31, 1995,  were liquidated
while deposits increased by 8.3 percent, or $8.9 million; in addition, the
exercise of stock options and warrants raised additional capital of $0.3 
million. The $14.1 million in funds raised from these sources was used to fund 
$5.9 million or 6.3 percent in loan growth, to repay $5.1 million in short-term
and long-term borrowing, and to increase investment securities by $1.3 million.
As of June 30, 1996, outstanding loan balances were $99.2 million 
compared to $93.3 million at December 31, 1995, which was an increase 
of 6.3 percent or $5.9 million.  
     At June 30, 1996, investment securities  amounted to $25.0 million, 
a 5.5 percent increase compared to $23.7 million at December 31, 1995.
The investment portfolio increased by a net $1.3 million during the first
six months of 1996.  This net increase includes the result of principal 
repayments in mortgage backed securities, a reduction in the market 
value of available for sale securities, and the purchase of additional 
shares of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the 
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, as well as the purchase of 
$3.1 million in US government agency and municipal securities and 
the maturity of securities amounting to $1.3 million. There have been no
sales of investment securities during the first six months of 1996.
The change in the market value recorded for available for sale
securities amounted to approximately $281 thousand in the first six
months of 1996, while the unrealized loss in the held-to-maturity
portfolio stood at $415 thousand at June 30, 1996, compared to 
$356 thousand at December 31, 1995.  The net unrealized holding 
losses represent a reduction in the market value of investment securities.
Investment securities continue to be primarily in U.S. Treasury and 
U.S. Government Agency obligations which do not represent a credit
risk.  As of June 30, 1996,  held to maturity investment securities 
included $1.1 million in bank qualified, tax-exempt municipal bonds.
     Premises and equipment had a net decrease of $119 thousand  in
the first six months of 1996,  reflecting depreciation and amortization
of $150 thousand and net equipment purchases of $31 thousand.
 
     Deposits increased by $8.9 million, or 8.3 percent,  in the first 
six months of 1996, and now stand at $116.8 million, up from 
$107.9 million at year-end 1995.   Certificates of deposit, money 
market and NOW accounts increased by a combined $8.9 million 
during the period.  The Bank successfully introduced telephone 
banking,  a new sweep product, and computer banking in 1995.  
These new products and the opening of the Bank's seventh branch 
in Silver Spring,  Maryland,  are contributing to further deposit 
growth and providing business and association customers with 
more sophisticated tools to manage their businesses.  The ability 
to provide these products is a result of the Bank's conversion to 
a new computer system which was completed in early 1995.

     As noted above, short-term borrowing and long-term borrowing 
aggregating $5.1 million at December 31, 1995, were repaid during
the first six months of 1996.  The additional deposits which  replaced
the relatively more expensive borrowed funds will have a positive
impact on earnings by reducing the cost of funds and increasing 
the net interest margin.

     Shareholders' Equity increased in the first six months of 1996 
by $730 thousand,  as a result of $590 thousand in net earnings,  
a $166 thousand decrease in the market value of investment 
securities available-for-sale,  and proceeds of $306 thousand from
common stock issued to employees and directors exercising 
stock options and warrants, respectively.
 
 
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 
     The Company recorded net income of $590 thousand,  or 
$.34 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, including 
$310 thousand, or $0.18 per share, in the second quarter of 1996.  
These results compare  to net income of $316 thousand,  or 
$0.19 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995, and
$232 thousand, or $0.14 per share, in the second quarter of 1995.
In 1995,  pre-tax earnings were held down by non-recurring expenses 
associated with a conversion to a new computer system. There 
were no securities gains or losses recorded in the first quarter of
1996 or 1995; however, a $51 thousand securities gain was earned
in the second quarter of 1995, while none was recorded in the
second quarter of 1996.
   
    There was no provision for credit losses recorded in the first half 
of 1996 or 1995.  In the first quarter of 1995,  however, the Company 
recorded a $100 thousand credit to the provision for credit losses,
and a established a $100 thousand valuation allowance for foreclosed 
real estate.  In the second quarter of 1996, an additional provision of 
$50 thousand was recorded for possible losses on foreclosed real estate.

             NET INTEREST INCOME 
 
     Net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was $1.559 million,  an 
increase of 14.0 percent over the $1.367 million earned in the second quarter 
of 1995.  Net interest income for the first six months was $3.048 million 
in 1996 compared to $2.644 million in 1995; a 15.3 percent increase over 
1995. Interest income for the first six months of 1996 included $11 thousand
of  interest collected that had been charged-off  in prior years.

     The Bank's net interest rate spread during the first six months of 1996 
increased to 4.49 percent compared to 4.43 percent in 1995.  The net interest
margin,  or net interest income as a percent of average earning assets, was 
5.39 percent in the first six months of 1996,  compared to 5.29 percent in
1995.  The increase in the net interest margin in 1996 was due to the lower
cost of funds in 1996 for deposits and the repayment of short-term and
long-term borrowing during the first half of 1996. The cost of funds has
been dropping, and will continue to drop,  as certificates of deposit are
renewed or replaced at lower rates.  The percentage of average earning 
assets in loans in the first quarter increased to 78.7 percent in 1996 from
75.9 percent in 1995 providing a positive impact on the net interest margin.
Overall, during the first half of 1996,  the gross yield on earning assets was 
a flat 8.93 percent in 1996 compared to 8.92 percent in 1995,  while the 
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 6 basis points 
to 4.43 percent in 1996 from 4.49 percent in 1995.
 
                         PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES 
 
    The Bank maintains a valuation allowance for credit losses to absorb losses
which could occur in the loan portfolio.  The provision for credit losses is a
charge to earnings to maintain the valuation allowance at an adequate level.
On a quarterly basis,  management conducts a review of the loan portfolio,
evaluating factors such as historical loss experience,  historical delinquency,
portfolio trends in composition,  collateral and industry concentrations,
peer bank loss and delinquency experience,  credit commitments,  economic
trends,  effectiveness of loan policies and procedures,  and an individual
analysis of loans classified as Substandard and Doubtful to determine
probability of loss based on collateral, restructuring and alternative
repayment sources. Between reviews,  events may occur which would
dictate immediate adjustments to the valuation allowance, and these events
are addressed as required.  No provision for possible credit losses was
recorded in the first half of 1996 or 1995.

   However, during the first quarter of 1995,  management reduced the Allowance 
for Credit Losses by $100 thousand.  At the same time,  there was a transaction 
to establish a reserve for the Bank's Foreclosed Real Estate.  When appropriate,
Bank accounting  rules recommend the establishment of a specific reserve
for possible losses on Foreclosed Real Estate.  The reduction of  the allowance
for credit losses  was possible because internal and external analysis 
indicated that the Bank had sufficient reserves for the loan portfolio. The
Bank had $13 thousand of net recoveries added to the Allowance for Credit
Losses during the first half of 1995,  while there were net chargeoffs of 
$73 thousand in the first half of 1996. 
 
   Foreclosed Real Estate was $792 thousand at December 31, 1995, and 
$742 thousand at June 30, 1996, reflecting a $50 thousand addition to 
the reserve for possible losses on foreclosed real estate.
 
    At June 30, 1996,  the Allowance for Credit Losses was $969 thousand,  
or 0.98 percent of loans,  compared to $1.041 million, or 1.12 percent of 
loans,  at December 31, 1995. 
 
   Credit quality continues to improve at the Bank, as  reflected in a decline
in past-due credits.  There were no loans past-due 90 days or more at June 30,
1996, or at December 31, 1995.  Non-accrual loans totaled $327 thousand 
at the end of 1995, $267 thousand at March 31, 1996, and $631 thousand at
June 30, 1996.  Subsequent to June 30, 1996, a $455 thousand non-accrual was
repaid, and approximately $20 thousand of previous expenses and charge-offs
were recovered, thereby reducing non-accrual loans to $176 thousand.  
 
                            NON-INTEREST INCOME 
 
     Non-interest income for the first six months of 1996 was $576 thousand, 
compared to $377 thousand in the first half of 1995.  There were no securities 
gains in the first half of 1996, however there were securities gains of 
$51 thousand in the second quarter of 1995.  Service charges on deposit 
accounts increased by $187 thousand or 76 percent to $433 thousand in 
the first half of 1996 compared to $246 thousand in the corresponding 
period of 1995.  During the second quarter of 1996,  premiums of 
$56 thousand were earned on the sale of  Small Business Administration 
(SBA) guaranteed loans.  There was a second SBA loan sale during the 
second quarter, and a lesser amount of premiums on that sale will be 
recognized during the third quarter of 1996.

                         NON-INTEREST EXPENSE 
 
     Non-interest expense for the first six months of 1996 was $2.758 million, 
up 4.5 percent, compared to $2.639 million in the first six months of 1995.
Although the Bank has added lending officers and branch staff,  and opened 
a new branch in June 1995,  salaries and employee benefits expenses during 
the first half of 1996 were only $8 thousand higher than the corresponding 
period of 1995.  In the first quarter of 1995,  there were approximately 
$30 thousand of non-recurring expenses due to severance payments 
when staff reductions were made to coincide with the completion of the 
conversion to a new computer system.  

     Occupancy and equipment expenses rose 16 percent from $525 thousand 
for the first six months in 1995 to $608 in 1996.  These increases were due 
to opening a new branch office in Silver Spring,  and communication and 
computer equipment purchased for the Bank's conversion to a new computer 
system.
 
     Other expenses increased by a net $28 thousand during the first half of
1996 reflecting non-recurring expenses incurred in the first quarter of 1995 
relating to consulting and data processing expenses incurred as a result of 
the computer conversion.  Otherwise,  increases in legal, consulting services 
and data processing expenses were largely offset by decreases in insurance 
expense and the FDIC insurance rate reduction.

                               INCOME TAXES 
 
In the first six months of 1996 the Company recorded tax expense of $276
thousand compared to $166 thousand in 1995.  The effective tax rate was 
approximately 31.9 percent in 1996 and 34.4 percent in 1995, compared to 
a statutory rate of 38.62 percent in each period.  Certain loans and investment
securities are exempt, in whole or in part, from federal and state income 
taxes,thereby reducing the Company's effective tax rate.  The Company has been
acquiring additional tax advantaged loans and investments during 1996 to 
further manage and reduce the effective tax rate.




                             CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS 
 
     Risk based capital requirements require banks and bank holding 
companies to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets 
and off-balance sheet credit arrangements.  Total capital is classified into 
two tiers,  referred to as Tier 1 and Tier 2.  The Bank's Tier 1 capital is 
composed of common stockholders' equity, while Tier 2 capital includes 
the allowance for credit losses.  For bank holding companies with assets 
of less than $150 million,  the risk-based capital guidelines generally are 
applied on a bank-only basis. 
 
     The regulatory minimums for the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 
and total risk-based capital ratios are 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent,  
respectively.  At June 30, 1996,  the Bank was well in excess of regulatory 
minimums with the Tier 1 ratio at 11.44 percent and the total risk-based 
capital ratio at 12.39 percent.  At December 31, 1995,  the corresponding 
capital ratios were 11.39 percent and 12.64 percent.  

     The Bank's leverage ratio, another regulatory capital measure,  is Tier 1 
capital divided by average total assets.  The regulatory minimum for certain 
institutions is 3.0 percent,  with most institutions required to maintain a 
ratio of at least 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent,  depending upon risk profiles 
and other factors.  At June 30, 1996,  the Bank's  leverage ratio was 
9.02 percent.

                LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY 
 
     Liquidity is a measure of the Bank's ability to generate and maintain
sufficient cash flows to fund operations and to meet financial obligations
to depositors and borrowers promptly and in a cost-effective manner.
The Bank's liquidity is provided by amortizing and maturing loans,
maturities and pay downs of investment securities,  securities and
loans that can serve as collateral for borrowing,  federal funds sold
and readily marketable investment securities.  Deposit growth, lines of
credit, capital contributions and earnings can also contribute to the Bank's
liquidity.  In the event necessary,  the Company may also sell securities
from its available for sale portfolio to fund its own liquidity needs. 
 
     The Bank's liquidity sources and needs are measured on a monthly 
basis and forecast six months. The analysis includes a review of current
and future loan demand, and anticipated deposit growth or contraction.
At June 30, 1996,  the Bank's liquidity sources were 2.3 times anticipated
liquidity needs,  which is well in excess of the established minimum 
management guidelines of 1.5 times anticipated liquidity needs. 
 
     Because of the significant impact interest rate fluctuations may have
on the Bank's performance, management continually monitors the interest
rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities.  The common measurement
term is "gap," which refers to the relationship of earning assets to
interest-bearing liabilities within the time period in which they will
mature or reprice.  A positive gap, wherein earning assets exceed
interest-bearing liabilities, positions the Bank to respond to rising interest
rates.  A negative gap, wherein interest-bearing liabilities exceed earning
assets,  positions the Bank to respond to declining interest rates. 
 
     Management strives to forecast far enough into the future so they can
fine-tune the earning assets and liabilities to respond to changes in rates.
As a guide, management tries to maintain a gap not greater than 15 percent,
either positive or negative,  for the various periods measured.
At June 30, 1996,  the Bank had a cumulative negative gap out to one
year of 15.37 percent of earning assets.
 
     The following table presents the Bank's gap measurements as of
June 30, 1995,   (in thousands of dollars).
