FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position and unaudited results of operations. All adjustments were of
a normal recurring nature. However, the results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period. In computing diluted earnings per common share for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company assumes that all
outstanding options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the
beginning of the year (or time of issuance, if later). The dilutive effect of
the outstanding options is reflected by application of the treasury stock
method, whereby, the proceeds from the exercised options are assumed to be used
to purchase common stock at the average market price during the respective
period. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic
earnings per common share for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were
12,348,153 and 12,319,900 shares, respectively. The weighted average common
shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per common share for the
six-months periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were 12,344,275 and 12,312,706
shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in
computing diluted earnings per common share for the quarters ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, were ,12,404,898 and 12,363,974 shares, respectively. The weighted
average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common
share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, were 12,401,632
and 12,366,251shares, respectively.

Note 3 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - Adoption of Statement 142

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on
Financial Accounting (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS
142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed for
impairment. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002 and discontinued
amortization on goodwill amounting to $23,765,896. The Company conducted its
initial impairment test in the three months ending June 30, 2002. There was no
reduction of recorded goodwill resulting from the impairment test. A
reconciliation adjusting comparative net earnings and earnings per share for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Operating Results
- -----------------

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's net income amounted to
$16.7 million, or $1.35 per basic share. For the same period last year, net
income amounted to $14.3 million, or $1.16 per basic share. Return on average
assets and return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
amounted to 1.78 percent and 15.62 percent, respectively. The Company's return
on average assets and return on average equity for the same period last year
amounted to 1.64 percent and 14.48 percent, respectively. Net income for the
second quarter 2002 totaled $8.5 million, or $0.69 per basic share, as compared
to $7.3 million, or $0.59 per basic share, earned in the second quarter 2001.
Return on average assets for the second quarter 2002 amounted to 1.80 percent as
compared to 1.65 for the second quarter 2001. Return on average equity for the
second quarter 2002 amounted to 15.73 percent as compared to 14.47 percent for
the second quarter 2001.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30,
2002, totaled $41.3 million as compared to $35.8 million for the same period
last year. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the second quarter
of 2002 totaled $21.1 million as compared to $18.2 million for the second
quarter 2001. The increases in tax-equivalent net interest income for 2002
resulted from growth in average earning assets, primarily investment securities
and loans, coupled with improved net interest margins. Earning assets averaged
$1.725 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and were $122.9 million
above the same period last year. Earning assets averaged $1.735 billion for
second quarter 2002 and were $117.1 million above the second quarter 2001. When
compared to the same periods last year, approximately $72.0 million of the
growth in earning assets is attributable to the cash purchase acquisition
finalized in July 2001.The net interest margin amounted to 4.83 percent for the
first six months of 2002 as compared to 4.51 percent for the same period last
year. For the second quarter 2002, the net interest margin was 4.88 percent, as
compared to 4.51 percent for the first quarter 2001. The improved net interest
margins for 2002 resulted primarily from the re-pricing of interest bearing
liabilities following the rapid decrease in interest rates during the first six
months of 2001.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the provision for loan losses amounted
to $909 thousand as compared to $864 thousand for the same period last year. Net
charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $391 thousand as
compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. Net charge offs on an
annualized basis amounted to .09 percent of average loans as compared to .25
percent for the first six months last year. At June 30, 2002, the allowance for
loan losses was 1.19 percent of loans and was considered by Management to be
adequate. For the second quarter 2002, the provision for loan losses was $510
thousand as compared to $497 thousand for the second quarter 2001. Net charge
offs for the second quarter 2002 totaled $248 thousand as compared to $400
thousand for same quarter last year.

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, amounted to
$14.2 million as compared to $13.8 million for the same period last year. Trust
fees for the first six months of 2002 totaled $2.9 million as compared to $3.0
million for the same period last year. Lower trust fees for 2002 reflect lower
market values of trust asset as compared to the same period last year. Service
charges on deposit accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $7.4
million as compared to $7.3 million for the same period last year. The modest
increase for 2002 is attributable to a lower volume of insufficient funds items
when compared to the same period last year. ATM fees which includes fees earned
on check card transactions totaled $1.1 million for the first six months as
compared to $930 thousand for the same period last year. The increase for 2002
is attributable to an increase in both the number of cardholders and an increase
in the volume of transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 real
estate mortgage fees totaled $791 thousand as compared to $770 thousand for the
same period last year. The modest increase for 2002 reflects a lower growth in
the volume of new loan and refinance transactions during the first six months of
2002 as compared to the same period last year. Other noninterest income for the
first six months of 2002 totaled $2.0 million as compared to $1.7 million for
the first six months ended June 30, 2001. Other noninterest income for 2002
includes $325 thousand, which represents check printing fees that, in periods
prior to 2002, were recorded as a reduction in printing and supplies expense.

This change in classification for check printing fees was made in response to a
change in bank regulatory financial reporting guidelines. Noninterest income for
the second quarter 2002 amounted to $7.2 million as compared to $7.1 million for
the same period last year. The various factors contributing to the second
quarter 2002 variances from the second quarter 2001 were, for the most part, the
factors contributing to changes in the year-to-date June 30, 2002, amounts as
compared to the first six months last year.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $28.9
million as compared to $26.7 million for the same period last year. Salaries and
employee benefits expense for first six months of 2002 totaled $15.7 million,
which was $1.8 million above the same period last year. The cash purchase
acquisition finalized in July 2001 accounted for $622 thousand of the increase
over the 2001 amount with the balance attributable primarily to salary increases
and higher profit sharing and pension expense. Combined occupancy and equipment
expense for the first six months of 2002 totaled $4.3million, which was $297
thousand above the combined amounts for the same period last year. When compared
to the same period last year, the higher occupancy and equipment expense for the
first six months of 2002 relates primarily to the cash purchase acquisition
finalized in July 2001. Printing and supplies expense for the first six months
of 2002 totaled $861 thousand and was $391 thousand above the same period last
year. The increase for 2002 was due primarily to $325 thousand in check printing
fees included in noninterest income in 2002 versus as a reduction in expense for
prior years. As compared to the same period last year, intangible asset
amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was down $753
thousand due to a change in accounting principles which was effective January 1,
2002. Other noninterest expense for the first six months of 2002 totaled $7.2
million as compared to $6.8 million for the same period last year. The increase
was attributable primarily to higher ATM processing fees and higher examination
fees and audit and accounting fees, which were up $130 thousand and $80
thousand, respectively, from amounts recorded for the first six months of 2001.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2002 totaled $14.7 million, an
increase of $1.2 million over the $13.5 million reported for the second quarter
2001. The second quarter 2002 increase over the same quarter last year was
attributable primarily to: (i) an $885 thousand increase for salaries and
benefits; (ii) a $175 thousand increase in equipment and occupancy expense;
(iii) a $196 thousand increase for printing and supplies expense; (iv) a $376
thousand decrease for amortization of intangibles; (v) an $87 thousand increase
in ATM transaction processing expense (included in other noninterest expense);
and (vi) a $42 thousand increase in examination fees and audit and accounting
fees (included in other noninterest expense). The efficiency ratio (noninterest
expense as a percent of net interest income plus noninterest income) is a key
indicator of how well noninterest expense is controlled. The Company's 52.11
percent efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2002 reflected improvement
when compared to 53.83 percent for the same period last year.

Balance Sheet Review
- --------------------

Total assets at June 30, 2002, totaled $1.911 billion as compared to $1.930
billion at December 31, 2001, and $1.751 billion at June 30, 2001. The balance
sheets presented reflect normal recurring adjustments and accruals.

Loans at June 30, 2002, totaled $935 million as compared to $940 million at
year-end 2001 and $863 million at June 30, 2001. As compared to year-end 2001
amounts, loans at June 30, 2002, reflect (i) a $1.4 million increase in
commercial loans; (ii) a $9.4 million increase in real estate loans; and (iii) a
$15.8 million decrease in agricultural loans. The decrease in loans during the
first half of 2002 reflects pay-downs on several significant commercial loan
relationships coupled with seasonal pay-downs from loans to farm and cattle
operations. Investment securities at June 30, 2002, totaled $755 million as
compared to $722 million at year-end 2001 and $661 million at June 30, 2001. The
net unrealized gain in the investment portfolio at June30, 2002, amounted to
$23.6 million and had an overall yield of 5.90 percent. At June 30, 2002, the
Company did not hold any structured notes or CMOs that entail higher risks than
standard mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits at June 30, 2002, amounted
to $1.648 billion as compared to $1.685 billion at year-end 2001 and $1.518
billion at June 30, 2001. As compared to year-end 2001 amounts,

-11-





noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $8.8 million and interest-bearing
deposits decreased $46.1 million which reflects the Company's continued strategy
not to match higher market rates on certain interest-bearing deposit products.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2002, totaled $5.1 million as compared to $4.8
million at December 31, 2001. The increase resulted primarily from a $309
thousand increase in nonaccrual loans. At .55 percent of loans plus foreclosed
assets, Management considers nonperforming assets to be at a manageable level
and is unaware of any material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming.

Liquidity and Capital
- ---------------------

The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows are presented on page 8 of
this report. At June 30, 2002, the parent company had no debt outstanding under
its $25 million line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution. Total
equity capital amounted to $227.7 million at June 30, 2002, which was up from
$213.6 million at year-end 2001 and $206.6 million at June 30, 2001. The
Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios at June 30, 2002, were 19.26
percent and 10.37 percent, respectively. The second quarter 2002 cash dividend
of $0.35 per share totaled $4.3 million and represented 50.6 percent of second
quarter earnings. On July 23, 2002, the Company declared a $0.35 per share cash
dividend payable October 1, 2002.

Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------

Interest rate risk results when the maturity or re-pricing intervals of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. The
Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily through the
Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities which generate favorable earnings, while
limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. The
Company uses no off-balance-sheet financial instruments to manage interest rate
risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability committee, which monitors
interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies. Interest-sensitivity
gap and simulation analysis are among the ways that the subsidiary banks track
interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2002, Management estimates that, over the
next 12 months, an upward shift of interest rates by 150 basis points would
result in an increase of projected net interest income of 3.00 percent and a
downward shift of interest rates by 150 basis points would result in a reduction
in projected net interest income of 6.89 percent. These are good faith estimates
and assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities
existing at June 30, 2002, will remain constant over the relevant 12 month
measurement period and that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous
and sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing
characteristics of specific assets or liabilities. Also, this analysis does not
contemplate any actions that we might undertake in response to changes in market
interest rates. In Management's belief, these estimates are not necessarily
indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest rate
increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and
liabilities re-price at different time frames and proportions to market interest
rate movements, various assumptions must be made based on historical
relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these
correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, our future results
would, in Management's belief, be different from the foregoing estimates, and
such results could be material.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk for the
Company. See "Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" for disclosure regarding this market risk.
