PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
The Corporation. Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a corporation
- ---------------
incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas in 1979, is a bank holding
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"BHC Act"). The Corporation maintains its principal office at 1300 Summit
Avenue, Suite 604, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. The Corporation's principal
activity is the ownership and management of its subsidiaries. The Corporation
owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of two national
banking associations, Summit National Bank and Summit Community Bank, N.A. (the
"Subsidiary Banks") and a nonbank subsidiary, Summit Bancservices, Inc., all
located in Fort Worth, Texas. In January 1997 Camp Bowie National Bank, at the
time a wholly-owned subsidiary, changed its name to Summit Community Bank, N.A.
and in March 1997 Alta Mesa National Bank merged with Summit Community Bank,
N.A. Alta Mesa National Bank was a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation.
At December 31, 1999 the Corporation had consolidated total assets of
$564,786,000, consolidated total loans of $355,414,000, consolidated total
deposits of $480,546,000 and consolidated total shareholders' equity of
$48,709,000.
The Corporation provides advice and services to the Subsidiary Banks and
coordinates their activities in the areas of financial accounting controls and
reports, internal audit programs, regulatory compliance, financial planning and
employee benefit programs. However, each Subsidiary Bank operates under the
day-to-day management of its own officers and directors.
The Corporation's major source of income is dividends received from the
Subsidiary Banks which are restricted as discussed on page 14. Dividend
payments by the Subsidiary Banks are determined on an individual basis,
generally in relation to each Subsidiary Bank's earnings, deposits and capital.
The Corporation's business is neither seasonal in nature nor in any manner
related to or dependent upon patents, licenses, franchises or concessions and
the Corporation has not spent material amounts on research activities.
The Subsidiary Banks. The services offered by the Subsidiary Banks are
- --------------------
generally those offered by commercial banks of comparable size in their
respective areas. Certain of the principal services offered by the Subsidiary
Banks are described below.
Commercial Banking. The Subsidiary Banks provide general commercial
banking services for corporate and other business clients principally
located in Tarrant County, Texas. Loans are made for a wide variety of
purposes, including interim construction and mortgage financing on real
estate and financing of equipment and inventories.
Consumer Banking. The Subsidiary Banks provide a full range of consumer
banking services, including interest and non-interest-bearing checking
accounts, various savings programs, installment and real estate loans,
money transfers, on-site ATM facilities and safe deposit facilities.
Securities Services. Summit Bancshares, Inc. through an agreement with LM
Financial Partners, Inc. offers investment brokerage services. LM
Financial Partners, Inc., a subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. is a registered
broker-dealer and member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. Investment executives are available at each of the Subsidiary Banks
and can provide information about tax-free municipals, government
securities, stocks, mutual funds, or annuities.

Certain information with respect to each Subsidiary Bank as of February 29, 2000
is set forth in the following table. Interbank balances have not been
eliminated in the table as such balances are not material to total deposits or
total assets.

Competition. There is significant competition among bank holding companies in
- -----------
Tarrant County, Texas and the Corporation believes that such competition among
such bank holding companies will continue in the future.
Additionally, the Subsidiary Banks encounter intense competition in their
commercial banking businesses, primarily from other banks represented in their
respective market areas, many of which have far greater assets and financial
resources. The Subsidiary Banks also encounter intense competition in their
commercial banking businesses from savings and loan associations, credit unions,
factors, insurance companies, commercial and captive finance companies and
certain other types of financial institutions located in its own and in other
major metropolitan areas in the United States, many of which are larger in terms
of capital, resources and personnel.
Employees. As of December 31, 1999 the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks
- ---------
collectively had a total of 172 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks are subject to federal and state law
applicable to businesses generally and also to federal and state laws
specifically applicable to financial institutions and financial institution
holding companies. The laws and regulations governing financial institutions
and their parent holding companies are intended primarily for the protection of
depositors, the deposit insurance funds of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, and the banking system as a whole and not for the protection of
shareholders or creditors. Those laws give regulatory authorities broad
enforcement powers over banks and bank holding companies including the power to
require remedial actions and to impose substantial fines and other penalties for
violation of laws or regulations.
The following description of statutory and regulatory provisions does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
applicable statutes and regulations. Any change in applicable statutes or
regulations or the policies of regulatory authorities may have a material effect
on the business, operations, and prospects of the Corporation and the Subsidiary
Banks. The Corporation is unable to predict the nature or extent of the affect
on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic
controls, or changes in federal or state statutes or regulations or regulatory
policies may have in the future.
The Corporation
General. The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the
BHC Act and as such is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"). Under
federal law, bank holding companies are subject to restrictions on the types of
activities in which they may engage and to a wide range of supervisory
requirements and actions, including periodic examinations and reporting
requirements and regulatory enforcement actions for any violations of laws,
regulations, or policies. The FRB has authority to order a bank holding company
to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound practices, to assess civil money
penalties against companies and affiliated individuals who violate the BHC Act
or FRB regulations or orders, and to order termination by a bank holding company
of any activities in which it is engaged which are not permitted activities for
a bank holding company.
The Corporation is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiaries.
As a result, the Corporation's right to participate
-3-
in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon liquidation or
reorganization of the subsidiary will be subject to the prior claims of
depositors and creditors of the subsidiary. In the event of a liquidation or
reorganization of a Subsidiary Bank, the claims of depositors and creditors of
the Bank will have priority over the rights of the Corporation and its
shareholders and creditors.
Scope of Permissible Activities. The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company,
with certain limited exceptions, from directly or indirectly engaging in, or
from directly or indirectly acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of
any class of voting shares of any company engaged in, any activities other than
banking or managing or controlling banks or certain other subsidiaries or other
activities determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking as to be a
proper incident thereto. Some of the activities which have been determined by
FRB regulation to be closely related to banking are making or servicing loans,
performing certain data processing services, acting as an investment or
financial advisor to certain investment trusts or investment companies, and
providing certain securities brokerage services. In approving or disapproving a
bank holding company's acquisition of a company engaged in bank-related
activities or participation itself in bank-related activities, the FRB considers
a number of factors and weighs the expected benefits to the public (such as
greater convenience and increased competition or gains in efficiency) against
possible adverse effects (such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or
unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.) In
considering these factors, the FRB may differentiate between a bank holding
company's commencement activities itself and its acquisition of a going concern
already engaged in those activities.
The Gramm-Leachy-Bliley Act (the "GLB" Act"), which the President signed into
law on November 12, 1999, amended the BHC Act to permit the creation of a
"financial holding company," a new type of bank holding company with powers
exceeding those of a traditional bank holding company. A financial holding
company may engage in, and hold shares of any company engaged in, any activity
that the FRB determines by regulation or order to be financial in nature, or
incidental to such financial activity or complimentary to a financial activity,
and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository
institutions or the financial system generally. Among the activities which will
be considered to be financial in nature are lending, investing or safeguarding
money or securities, underwriting insurance or annuities or acting as an
insurance principal, agent or broker, providing financial or investment advice,
issuing or selling interests in pools of assets a bank could hold, underwriting,
dealing in or making a market in securities, engaging in any activity which,
prior to enactment of the GLB Act, the FRB determined to be closely related to
banking, and, subject to certain limitations, merchant banking activities. The
amendments to the BHC Act made by the GLB Act, which become effective on March
11, 2000, will allow qualifying bank holding companies to provide a wide variety
of financial services that have been reserved for insurance companies and
securities firms. To become a financial holding company, a bank holding company
must file with its Federal Reserve Bank a declaration that it elects to become a
financial holding company along with a certification that all depository
institutions controlled by the company are well-capitalized and well managed.
Such a declaration will become effective 30 days after filing unless the FRB
notifies the bank holding company prior to that time that its declaration is
ineffective. Once the declaration becomes effective, the bank holding company
can commence activities permitted to a financial holding company. The FRB
serves as the primary "umbrella" regulator of a financial holding company. The
primary regulatory of a financial holding company subsidiary will depend upon
the activities in which the subsidiary is engaged.
The Corporation cannot at this time fully evaluate the effect on the Corporation
and the Subsidiary Banks of the changes made by the GLB Act, including possible
new opportunities for expansion of the Corporation's activities and changes in
competition for the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks.
Safety and Soundness. Bank holding companies may not engage in unsafe or
unsound banking practices. For example, with some exceptions for well-
capitalized and well-managed companies, FRB regulations require a bank holding
company to give the FRB prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own
equity securities if the consideration to be paid, together with the
consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding twelve-
month period, is equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth.
The FRB may disapprove a redemption or repurchase if it finds the transaction
would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or
regulation. A holding company may not impair the financial soundness of a
subsidiary bank by causing it to make funds available to nonbanking subsidiaries
or their customers when such a transaction would not be prudent. In some
circumstances, the FRB could take the position that paying a dividend would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The policy of the FRB is
generally that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends on common stock
only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings
retention is consistent with the organization's future needs and financial
condition. This policy provides that a bank holding company should not maintain
a level of cash dividends that undermines the company's ability to serve as a
source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.
-4-
The FRB may exercise various administrative remedies, including issuing orders
requiring parent bank holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiaries to
refrain from actions believed by the FRB to constitute a serious risk to the
financial safety, soundness, or stability of a subsidiary bank.
Source of Strength to Subsidiary Banks. FRB regulations require a bank holding
company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its
subsidiary banks and commit resources to their support. This concept has become
known as the "source of strength" doctrine. The FRB takes the position that a
bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide
adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial
adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising
capacity necessary to obtain resources for assisting its subsidiary banks if
required. A bank holding company which fails to meet its obligations to serve as
a source of strength to its subsidiary banks may be considered by the FRB to be
engaged in an unsafe and unsound banking practice and in violation of FRB
regulations. Further, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991 ("FDICIA") requires a bank holding company to guarantee, up to certain
limits, an undercapitalized subsidiary bank's compliance with any capital
restoration plan approved by the bank's primary federal regulatory authority.
See Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries below.
Enforcement. The Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA") expanded the FRB's authority to prohibit activities of bank
holding companies and their nonbanking subsidiaries which are unsafe or unsound
banking practices or constitute violations of laws or regulations. Bank
regulatory authorities may issue cease and desist orders which may, among other
things, require affirmative action to correct conditions resulting from such a
violation or practice, including restitution, reimbursement and indemnification
or guaranty against loss. Under FIRREA, a bank holding company or financial
institution may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain
assets, or take other appropriate action as determined by the ordering agency.
FIRREA increased the amount of civil money penalties that the FRB and other
regulatory agencies may assess for certain activities conducted on a knowing or
reckless basis, if those activities cause a substantial loss to a depository
institution. The penalties may reach as much as $1,000,000 per day. FIRREA
also expanded the scope of individuals and entities against whom such penalties
may be assessed.
FIRREA contains a "cross-guarantee" provision that makes commonly controlled
insured depository institutions liable to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") for any losses incurred, or reasonably anticipated to
be incurred, in connection with the failure of an affiliated insured depository
institution.
Anti-Tying Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are
prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extensions of
credit, to certain other services offered by a holding company or its
affiliates.
Reporting and Examination. The Corporation is required to file quarterly and
annual reports with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (the "Federal Reserve
Bank") and to provide such additional information as the Federal Reserve Bank
may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve Bank may examine the
Corporation and any nonbank subsidiary and charge the Corporation for the cost
of such an examination. The Corporation is also subject to reporting and
disclosure requirements under state and federal securities laws.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The FRB monitors the capital adequacy of bank
holding companies using a combination of risk-based guidelines and leverage
ratios. Under the risk-based capital guidelines, asset categories are assigned
different risk weights based generally on perceived credit risk. These risk
weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a "risk-
weighted" asset base. Certain off-balance sheet items are added to the risk-
weighted asset base by converting them to balance sheet components. For the
purposes of the guidelines, a bank holding company's qualifying total capital is
defined as the sum of its "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" capital elements, with the "Tier
2" element being limited to an amount not exceeding 100% of the "Tier 1"
element. "Tier 1" capital includes, with certain limitations, common
stockholders' equity, qualifying perpetual noncumulative and cumulative
preferred stock, and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. "Tier 2"
capital includes, with some limitations, certain other preferred stock as well
as qualifying debt instruments and all or part of the allowance for possible
loan losses.
The FRB guidelines require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to total
risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be in the form of
"Tier 1" capital). At December 31, 1999, the Corporation's ratios of "Tier 1"
and qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets were 13.34% and 14.59%,
respectively. At such date, both ratios exceeded regulatory minimums.
-5-
The FRB uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital
adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is defined as a
company's "Tier 1" capital divided by its adjusted average total consolidated
assets. The FRB guidelines require a minimum ratio of 3.0% "Tier 1" capital to
total assets for bank holding companies having the highest regulatory rating.
For all other bank holding companies, the minimum ratio of "Tier 1" capital to
total assets is 4.0%. Companies with supervisory, financial, or managerial
weaknesses, as well as those anticipating or experiencing significant growth,
are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels. The
Corporation's leverage ratio at December 31, 1999, was 8.77% which exceeded the
regulatory minimum.
A bank holding company which fails to meet the applicable capital standards will
be at a disadvantage in several respects. For example, FRB policy discourages
the payment of dividends by a bank holding company if payment would adversely
affect capital adequacy and borrowing by a company with inadequate capital for
the purpose of paying dividends. In some circumstances, a failure to meet the
capital guidelines may also result in enforcement action by the FRB.
Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries. FDICIA requires bank
regulators to take "prompt corrective action" to resolve insured depository
institutions problems. In the event an institution becomes "undercapitalized,"
it must submit a capital restoration plan to its federal regulatory agency. The
regulatory agency will not accept the plan unless it meets certain criteria.
One requirement for acceptance of a capital restoration plan is that each
company "having control of" the undercapitalized institution must guarantee, up
to certain limits, the subsidiary's compliance with the capital restoration
plan. The Corporation has control of the Subsidiary Banks for purposes of this
statute. See below The Subsidiary Banks - Capital Adequacy Requirements below.
Under FDICIA, the aggregate liability of all companies controlling a particular
institution is generally limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution's assets
at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the
institution into compliance with application capital standards. FDICIA grants
greater powers to regulatory authorities in situations where an institution
becomes "significantly" or "critically" undercapitalized or fails to submit a
timely and acceptable capital restoration plan or to implement an accepted
capital restoration plan. A bank holding company controlling such an
institution may be required to obtain prior FRB approval of proposed dividends
or a consent to merger or to divest the troubled institution or other
affiliates.
In the event of a proceeding for a bank holding company under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the trustee (or the debtor-in-possession) will, by law, be
deemed to have assumed, and required immediately to cure any deficit under, any
commitment made by the company to a federal regulatory agency to maintain the
capital of an insured depository institution, and any claim based upon such a
commitment will have a priority of payment.
Acquisition by Bank Holding Companies. The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding
company, with some limited exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect control
of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or merging
or consolidating with another bank holding company, without the prior approval
of the FRB. In approving bank or bank holding company acquisitions by a bank
holding company, the FRB is required to consider the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks
concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and
various competitive factors. The Attorney General of the United States may,
within 30 days after approval of an acquisition by the FRB, bring an action
challenging such acquisition under the federal antitrust laws, in which case the
effectiveness of such approval is stayed pending a final ruling by the courts.
In some circumstances, any such action must be brought in less than 30 days
after FRB approval.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Interstate Banking Act") permits adequately capitalized and managed bank
holding companies to acquire banks located in other states, regardless of
whether the acquisition would be prohibited by applicable state law. An out-of-
state bank holding company seeking to acquire ownership or control of a state or
national bank located in Texas or any bank holding company owning or controlling
a state bank or a national bank located in Texas must obtain the prior approval
of both the FRB and the Banking Commissioner of Texas. If the FRB approves an
acquisition which the Texas Banking Commissioner disapproves, the Commissioner
may accept the FRB decision or attempt to have the decision overturned by a
federal court. Under the Interstate Banking Act, a bank holding company and its
insured depository institution affiliates may not complete an acquisition which
would cause it to control more than 10% of total deposits in insured depository
institutions nationwide or to control 30% or more of total deposits in insured
depository institutions in the home state of the bank sought to be acquired.
However, state deposit concentration caps adopted by various states, such as
Texas, which limit control of in-state insured deposits to a greater extent than
the Interstate Banking Act will be given effect. Texas has adopted a deposit
concentration cap of 20% of in-state insured deposits; therefore, the Texas
state deposit concentration cap will lower the otherwise applicable 30% federal
deposit concentration cap. State law
-6-
may establish a minimum age (not to exceed five years) of local banks subject to
interstate acquisition. The minimum age established by Texas is five years.
Acquisition of Bank Holding Companies. The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978
prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank
holding company unless the FRB has been given prior notice and has not
disapproved the acquisition. Acquisition of 25% or more of any class of voting
shares of a bank holding company constitutes acquisition of "control." The FRB
presumes that the acquisition of 10% or more of any class of voting stock of a
bank holding company constitutes acquisition of control if either the company
has securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as does the
Corporation, or no other person will own or control a greater percentage of that
class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. That presumption
can be rebutted by showing the FRB that acquisition will not in fact result in
control. Any company would be required to obtain the approval of the FRB under
the BHC Act before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror that is a bank
holding company) or more of the outstanding common stock of the company or
otherwise exercising control or a "controlling influence" over the company.
The Subsidiary Banks
General. The Subsidiary Banks are national banking associations organized under
the National Bank Act, as amended, (the "National Bank Act") and are subject to
regulatory supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the "OCC"). Pursuant to such regulation, the Banks are subject to
various restrictions and supervisory requirements, and potentially to
enforcement actions. The OCC regularly examines national banks with respect to,
among other matters, capital adequacy, reserves, loan portfolio, investments and
management practices. The Subsidiary Banks must also furnish quarterly and
annual reports to the OCC, and the OCC may exercise cease and desist and other
enforcement powers over the Subsidiary Banks if their actions represent unsafe
or unsound practices or violations of law. Since the deposits of the Subsidiary
Banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Company (the "FDIC"), the Subsidiary Banks are also subject to
regulation and supervision by the FDIC. Because the FRB regulates the
Corporation, the FRB has supervisory authority which affects the Subsidiary
Banks.
Banks are subject to the credit policies of governmental authorities that affect
the national supply of bank credit. Such policies influence the overall growth
of bank loans, investments, and deposits and may affect interest rates charged
on loans and paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a
significant effect on the results of operations of commercial banks in the past
and may be expected to continue to do so in the future.
Scope of Permissible Activities. The National Bank Act provides the rights,
privileges, and powers of national banks and defines the activities in which
national banks may engage. Permitted activities for a national bank include
making, arranging, purchasing, or selling loans, purchasing, holding, and
conveying real estate under certain conditions, dealing in investment securities
in certain circumstances, and, generally, engaging in the "business of banking"
and activities that are "incidental" to banking. Activities deemed "incidental"
to the business of banking include the borrowing and lending of money, receiving
deposits (including deposits of public funds), holding or selling stock or other
property acquired in connection with security on a loan, discounting and
negotiating evidences of debt, acting as guarantor (if the bank has a
"substantial interest in the performance of the transaction"), issuing letters
of credit to or on behalf of its customers, operating a safe deposit business,
providing check guarantee plans, issuing credit cards, operating a loan
production office, selling loans under repurchase agreements, selling money
orders at offices other than bank branches, providing consulting services to
banks, and verifying and collecting checks.
In addition to expanding permitted activities for qualifying bank holding
companies, the GLB Act also permits the creation of a "financial subsidiary"
which can be used by a national bank to engage in many of the activities
permitted for a financial holding company. The Corporation cannot at this time
fully evaluate the effect on the Subsidiary Banks of this change made by the GLB
Act.
Branching. National banks located in Texas may establish a branch anywhere in
Texas with prior OCC approval. For this purpose, a national bank is located in
Texas if it has either its main office or a branch in Texas. In acting on a
branch application, the OCC considers a number of factors, including financial
history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of management, needs of
the community and consistency with corporate powers.
The Interstate Banking Act, which expanded the authority of bank holding
companies to engage in interstate bank acquisitions regardless of state law
prohibitions, also allows banks to merge across state lines and thereafter have
interstate branches by continuing to operate, as a main office or a branch, any
office of any bank involved in the merger. States were, however,
-7-
permitted to "opt-out" of interstate mergers by enacting laws meeting certain
requirements. The Texas Legislature "opted out" of the interstate branching
provisions during its 1995 Session. However, the Texas "opt-out" legislation,
which by its terms was to have expired in September of 1999, did not prove to be
effective to prohibit interstate mergers involving banks in Texas. In granting
an application for an interstate merger involving a national bank located in
Texas, the OCC concluded that the Texas "opt-out" legislation was ineffective
because it did not meet the requirement of the Interstate Banking Act. The Texas
Banking Commissioner also determined that the "opt-out" legislation was
ineffective under federal law to prohibit interstate mergers and has, therefore,
accepted applications for interstate merger and branching transaction for state-
chartered institutions. As a consequence, the Texas "opt-out" legislation did
not have the effect of prohibiting interstate merger and branching transactions
otherwise allowed under federal law.
The Interstate Banking Act further allows a bank to open new branches in a state
in which it does not already have banking operations if the laws of that state
permit a de novo branch of an out-of-state bank. A "de novo branch" is a branch
office of a bank originally established as a branch and not one becoming a
branch by acquisition or merger. In 1995, Texas elected not to permit de novo
branching, but the Texas legislation prohibiting de novo branching proved
ineffective. In 1999, the Texas law was amended to permit entry into Texas by
an out-of-state bank's establishing a de novo branch in Texas if the laws of the
home state of the out-of-state bank permit a Texas bank to establish a de novo
branch there. Out-of-state banks are also permitted to enter Texas by merger
with an in-state bank if the resulting bank in such a merger would not control
20% or more of total in-state deposits and the in-state bank has been in
existence and operation for at least five years. An out-of-state bank that has
established or acquired a branch in Texas may establish or acquire additional
in-state branches to the same extent that a Texas bank may acquire or establish
branches in Texas.
Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates. The Subsidiary Banks are subject
to federal statutes which limit transactions with the Corporation and other
affiliates. One set of restrictions is found in Section 23A of the Federal
Reserve Act, which limits loans to, purchases of assets from, and investments in
"affiliates" of the Subsidiary Banks. The term "affiliates" would include the
Corporation and any of its subsidiaries. Section 23A imposes limits on the
amount of such transactions and also requires certain levels of collateral for
such loans. In addition, Section 23A limits the amount of loans or extensions
of credit to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or
obligations of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
Another set of restrictions is found in Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act.
Among the other things, Section 23B requires that certain transactions between a
Subsidiary Bank and its affiliates must be on terms substantially the same, or
at least as favorable to the Subsidiary Bank, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies. In
the absence of such comparable transactions, any transaction between a
Subsidiary Bank and an affiliate must be on terms and under circumstances,
including credit underwriting standards and procedures, that in good faith would
be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Each Subsidiary Bank
is also subject to certain prohibitions against advertising that suggest that
the Subsidiary Bank is responsible for the obligations of its affiliates.
The regulations and restrictions on transactions with affiliates may limit the
Corporation's ability to obtain funds from its Subsidiary Banks for its cash
needs, including funds for payment of dividends and operating expenses.
Under the Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation O, there are restrictions on
loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related
interests (collectively referred to herein as "insiders") which apply to all
banks with deposits insured by the FDIC and their subsidiaries and holding
companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and
conditions that must be met before such loans can be made. There is also an
aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. In
the aggregate, these loans may not exceed the bank's total unimpaired capital
and surplus. In some circumstances the OCC may determine that a lesser amount
is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly
accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions.
Interest Rate Limits and Lending Regulations. The Subsidiary Banks are subject
to various state and federal statutes relating to the extension of credit and
the making of loans. The maximum legal rate of interest that the Subsidiary
Banks may charge on a loan depends on a variety of factors such as the type of
borrower, purpose of the loan, amount of the loan and date the loan is made.
Texas statutes establish maximum legal rates of interest for various lending
situations. Penalties are provided by law for charging interest in excess of
the maximum lawful rate.
Loans made by banks located in Texas are subject to numerous other federal and
state laws and regulations, including Truth-in-Lending Act, the Texas Finance
Code, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. These laws provide remedies for the
borrower and penalties for the lender for failure of
-8-
the lender to comply with such laws. The scope and requirements of these laws
and regulations have expanded in recent years, and claims by borrowers under
these laws and regulations may increase.
Restrictions on Subsidiary Bank Dividends. Substantially all of the
Corporation's cash revenues are derived from dividends paid by the Subsidiary
Banks. Dividends payable by the Subsidiary Banks are restricted under the
National Bank Act. See Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters - Dividends. The Subsidiary Banks' ability to pay
dividends is further restricted by the requirement that the Subsidiary Banks
maintain adequate levels of capital in accordance with guidelines promulgated
from time to time by the OCC. Moreover, the prompt corrective action provisions
of FDICIA and implementing regulations prohibit a bank from paying dividends or
management fees if, following the payment, the bank would be in any of the three
capital categories for undercapitalized institutions. See Capital Adequacy
Requirements below.
Examinations. The OCC periodically examines and evaluates national banks.
Based upon such evaluations, the OCC may require revaluation of certain assets
of a bank and require the bank to establish specific reserves to allow for the
difference between the regulatory-determined value and the book value of such
assets. The OCC is authorized to assess the institution an annual fee based on,
among other things, the costs of conducting the examinations.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. OCC regulations require national banks to
maintain minimum risk-based capital ratios similar to those for bank holding
companies discussed above. The applicable regulations establish five capital
levels, ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." A
national bank is considered "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or
greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and if it is not subject to an
order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
A national bank is considered "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-
based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at
least 4.0% and leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of
3.0% or greater if the institution was given the highest rating in its most
recent report of examination) and the bank does not meet the definition of a
"well capitalized" bank. A national bank is considered "undercapitalized" if it
has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0%
(or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% if the institution received the
highest rating in its most recent report of examination). A "significantly
undercapitalized" institution is one which has a total risk-based capital ratio
that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than
3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%. A "critically
undercapitalized" institution is one which has a ratio of tangible equity to
total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.
At December 31, 1999, each of the Subsidiary Banks was "well capitalized." See
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - Capital Resources.
Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies. FDICIA requires the federal
banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to capital-
deficient institutions with the overall goal of limiting losses to the
depository insurance fund. FDICIA contains broad restrictions on certain
activities of undercapitalized institutions involving asset growth,
acquisitions, branch establishment and expansion into new lines of business.
With certain exceptions, national banks will be prohibited from making capital
distributions, including dividends, or paying management fees to a holding
company if the payment of such distributions or fees will cause them to become
undercapitalized. Furthermore, undercapitalized national banks will be required
to file capital restoration plans with the OCC. Such a plan will not be accepted
unless, among other things, the banking institution's holding company guarantees
the plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository
institution's holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in
bankruptcy. Undercapitalized national banks also will be subject to restrictions
on growth, acquisitions, branching, and engaging in new lines of business unless
they have an approved capital plan that permits otherwise. The OCC also may,
among other things, require an undercapitalized national bank to issue shares or
obligations, which could be voting stock, to recapitalize the institution or,
under certain circumstances, to divest itself of any subsidiary.
The OCC and other Federal banking agencies are authorized by FDICIA to take
various enforcement actions against any significantly undercapitalized national
bank and any national bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital
restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the OCC. These powers
include, among other things, requiring the institution to be recapitalized,
prohibiting asset growth or requiring asset reduction, restricting interest
rates paid, requiring prior FRB prior approval of any capital distributions by
any bank holding company which controls the institution, requiring divestiture
by the
-9-
institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution
itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of
directors and officers.
Significantly and critically undercapitalized national banks may be subject to
more extensive control and supervision. A critically undercapitalized
institution may be prohibited from, among other things, entering into any
material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending its
charter or bylaws, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. In
addition, critically undercapitalized institutions generally will be prohibited
from making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt.
Within 90 days of a national bank's becoming critically undercapitalized, the
OCC must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with
respect to the prospect for the institution's continued viability.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. The FDIC is required by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act to assess all banks a fee in order to fund adequately the Bank
Insurance Fund (the "BIF") so as to resolve any insured bank that is declared
insolvent by its primary regulator. FDICIA required the FDIC to establish a
risk-based deposit insurance premium schedule. The risk-based assessment system
is used to calculate deposit insurance assessments made on BIF member banks to
maintain the designated reserves for the fund. In addition, the FDIC can impose
special assessments to repay borrowings from the U.S. Treasury, the Federal
Financing Bank, and BIF member banks. Under the risk-based system, banks are
assessed insurance premiums according to how much risk they are deemed to
present to the BIF. Such premiums currently range from zero percent of insured
deposits to 0.27% of insured deposits. Banks with higher levels of capital and
involving a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than
those banks with lower levels of capital and a higher degree of supervisory
concern. Each of the Subsidiary Banks is currently being assessed at the lowest
rate of zero percent.
Under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act"), beginning in
1997 banks insured under the BIF were required to pay a part of the interest on
bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") in the late 1980s to
recapitalize the defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Before
the Funds Act, FICO payments were made only by depository institutions which
were members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). FICO
assessment rates for the fourth quarter of 1999 were set by FDIC at .01184%
annually for BIF members and .05920% annually for SAIF members. These rates may
be adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases for the BIF and
the SAIF. The Funds Act required that the FICO assessment rate on BIF members
must be one-fifth the rate of assessment on SAIF members until the two
insurance funds were merged or until January 1, 2000, whichever occurs first,
and thereafter BIF members and SAIF members are to be assessed prorata for FICO.
The two funds have not been merged so FICO assessments for BIF members and SAIF
members did not become prorate until January 1, 2000. For the first quarter of
2000, FICO rates have been set at .02120% for both BIF and SAIF members and, for
the second quarter of 2000, at .0208% for both BIF and SAIF members.
Internal Operating Requirements. FDICIA requires financial institutions with
over $500 million in assets to file an annual report with the FDIC and its
primary federal regulator and any appropriate state banking agency within 90
days after the end of its fiscal year. The report must contain financial
statements audited by an independent public accountant; a statement of
management's responsibilities for (1) preparing the financial statements and for
maintaining internal controls; (2) financial reporting and complying with
designated safety and soundness laws and regulations; and (3) assessing the
effectiveness of the institution's internal controls. The independent public
accountant also must report separately on the institution's internal controls
and certain of the statements made by management in the report. The requirement
of an annual audit of the Subsidiary Banks can be satisfied by an annual audit
of the Corporation.
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") and
the regulations issued by the OCC to implement that law are intended to
encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including
low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound
operations of the banks. These regulations also provide for regulatory
assessment of a bank's record in meeting the needs of its service area when
considering applications to establish branches, merger applications and
applications to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank.
FIRREA requires federal banking agencies to make public a rating of a bank's
performance under the CRA. In the case of a bank holding company, the CRA
performance record of its subsidiary banks is reviewed in connection with the
filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of
a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company. An unsatisfactory record
can substantially delay or block the transaction. In 1995, the bank regulatory
agencies adopted final regulations implementing the CRA.
Expanding Enforcement Authority One of the major effects of FDICIA was the
increased ability of banking regulators to monitor the activities of banks and
their holding companies. The Federal banking agencies have extensive authority
to police unsafe or unsound practices and violations of applicable laws and
regulations by depository institutions and their holding
-10-
companies. For example, the FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any
institution which it determines has engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice.
The agencies can also assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist or
removal orders, seek judicial enforcement of their orders, and publicly disclose
such actions.
Changing Regulatory Structure Legislative and regulatory proposals regarding
changes in banking, regulations of banks, thrifts and other financial
institutions, are being considered by the executive branch of the federal
government, Congress, and various state governments, including Texas. Certain
of these proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of
banks and the financial service industry. The Corporation cannot predict
accurately whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, how
these proposals will affect the Corporation or the Subsidiary Banks. Also,
there will be regulatory changes to deal with the expanded permissible
activities permitted for financial holding companies and financial subsidiaries
of national banks. The Corporation cannot predict at this time the effect of
regulatory changes resulting from the enactment of the GLB Act.
Effect on Economic Environment The policies of regulatory authorities,
including the monetary policy of the FRB, have a significant effect on the
operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the
means available to the FRB to affect the money supply are open market operations
in U.S. Government securities, control of borrowings at the "discount window,"
changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, changes in reserve
requirements against member bank deposits and against certain borrowings by
banks and their affiliates and the placing of limits on interest rates that
member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. These means are used in
varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans,
investments, and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on
loans or paid for deposits. FRB monetary policies have materially affected the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue
to do so in the future. The Corporation cannot predict the nature of future
monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the business and earnings
of the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks.

Shareholders. At the close of business on March 13, 2000 there were 620
- ------------
shareholders of record of Common Stock of the Corporation. The number of
beneficial shareholders is unknown to the Corporation at this time.

Dividends. The Corporation has paid regular cash dividends on its common stock
- ---------
on a quarterly basis since the beginning of 1993. The following table sets
forth, for each quarter since the beginning of 1998, the quarterly dividends
paid by the Corporation on its Common Stock for the indicated periods.
1999 Dividends Per Share
-------------- -------------------
First Quarter $0.080

1998
--------------
First Quarter $0.060
Second Quarter 0.060
Third Quarter 0.060
Fourth Quarter 0.060
Although the Board of Directors intends to continue to pay quarterly cash
dividends in the future, there can be no assurance that cash dividends will
continue to the paid in the future or, if paid, that such cash dividends will be
comparable to cash dividends previously paid by the Corporation, since future
dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings
of the Corporation, the financial condition of the Corporation, the
Corporation's cash needs, general business conditions and the amount of
dividends paid to the Corporation by the Subsidiary Banks.
The principal source of the Corporation's cash revenues is dividends received
from the Subsidiary Banks. Pursuant to the National Bank Act, no national bank
may pay dividends from its paid-in capital. All dividends must be paid out of
current or retained net profits, after deducting reserves for losses and bad
debts. The National Bank Act further restricts the payment of dividends out of
net profits by prohibiting a national bank from declaring a dividend on its
shares of common stock until the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock
or, if the surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-
tenth of a bank's net profits for the preceding half year in the case of
quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or the preceding two half-year periods in
the case of annual dividends, are transferred to the surplus fund. The approval
of the OCC is required prior to the payment of a dividend if the total of all
dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year would exceed the
total of its net profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two
preceding years. Under FDICIA, a Subsidiary Bank may not pay a dividend if,
after paying the dividend, the Subsidiary Bank would be undercapitalized.
In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to prohibit
banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would constitute an
unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Subsidiary Banks and the Corporation
are not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends.

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 Corporation analyzes the major elements of the Corporation's
consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying
notes, and selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report.
Performance Summary. Net income for 1999 was $9.2 million, an increase of $1.1
million, or 13.2%, over the $8.1 million recorded for 1998. On a weighted
average share basis, net income for 1999 was $1.39 per diluted share as compared
to $1.20 per share for 1998, an increase of 15.8%. The major contribution to the
improved earnings during 1999 was a 12.1% increase in net interest income. The
increase in net interest income reflected an increase in average loans of 13.7%
and an increase in average earning assets of 11.7%. Partially offsetting the
increase in net interest income was an increase in non-interest expenses of only
7.4%. Further explanations of these changes are set forth below.
Continuing to reflect the strong economy in the Corporation's market area, loans
increased 16.2% over the previous year-end to $355 million at December 31, 1999.
Total funding (deposits and short term borrowings) experienced somewhat less
dramatic growth, increasing 6.1% over the same period to $513 million.
Shareholders' equity was $49 million at year-end, an increase of 5.4%.
Net income for 1998 was $8.1 million compared to net income of $7.0 million for
1997, an increase of 15.7%. The increase in earnings for 1998 was also
attributable to a significant increase net interest income.
The following table shows selected key performance ratios over the last three
(3) years:
1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
Return on Average Assets 1.72% 1.70% 1.70%
Return on Average Shareholders' Equity 19.66 18.62 18.49
Shareholders' Equity to Assets - Average 8.71 9.11 9.21
Dividend Payout Ratio 22.25 19.15 16.56
The ratio, return on assets, is calculated by dividing net income by average
total assets for the year. The return on equity ratio is calculated by dividing
net income by average shareholders' equity for the year. The equity to assets
ratio is calculated by dividing average shareholders' equity by average total
assets for the year. The dividend payout is determined by dividing the total
dividends paid by the total net income.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between interest
earned on earning assets and interest paid for the funds supporting those
assets. The largest category of earning assets consists of loans to businesses
and individuals. The second largest is investment securities. Net interest
income is the principal source of the Corporation's earnings. Interest rate
fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and
liabilities supporting those assets, affect net interest income. Interest rates
primarily are determined by national and international market trends, as well as
competitive pressures in the Corporation's operating markets. For analytical
purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities issued by or loans
made to state and local governments, is adjusted by an increment which equates
tax-exempt income to interest from taxable assets.
Net interest income (tax equivalent) for 1999 was $26.5 million, an increase of
$2.9 million, or 12.1% compared to the prior year. The net increase reflected a
$3.2 million increase in interest income which was offset by a $.3 million
increase in interest expense. The Corporation's yield on earning assets declined
to 8.06% in 1999 from 8.30% for 1998. Rates paid on the Corporation's
interest-bearing liabilities, decreased from 4.24% in 1998 to 3.86% in 1999.
These shifts in yield on earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities
resulted in the net interest margin increasing from 5.28% in 1998 to 5.31% for
1999. Contributing to the improved net interest income for 1999 was the increase
in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. In 1999, the average balance of demand
deposits increased 12.5%. The average demand deposits as a percent of average
total deposits increased to 28.2% in 1999 from 27.8% in 1998; this ratio remains
very positive compared to the Corporation's peers.

Summary of Earning Assets and Interest Bearing Liabilities
Although the year-end detail provides satisfactory indicators of general trends,
the daily average balance sheets are more meaningful for analysis purposes than
year-end data because averages reflect the day-to-day fluctuations that are
common to bank balance sheets. Also, average balances for earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities can be related directly to the components of
interest income and interest expense on the statements of income. This provides
the basis for analysis of rates earned and paid, and sources of increases and
decreases in net interest income as derived from changes in volumes and rates.
The following schedule presents average balance sheets for the most recent three
years in a format that highlights earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.

(1) Loan interest income includes fees and loan volumes include loans on
non-accrual.
(2) Presented on a tax equivalent basis ("T/E") using a federal income tax rate
of 34% in all three years.
Net interest margin, the net return on earning assets which is computed by
dividing net interest income by average total earning assets, was 5.31% for
1999, a three basis point increase from the previous year. This increase in the
margin reflected a lower cost of funds of 38 basis points in 1999 offset by a
lower yield on earning assets of 24 basis points, resulting in the net interest
spread increasing from 4.06% to 4.20%. The somewhat rapid decline in market
interest rates in late 1998 carried over into the first half of 1999 after which
interest rates began to increase, recovering the decline in rates experienced in
late 1998. In the fourth quarter of 1999 the net interest margin was 5.24%.

The table below analyzes the increase in net interest income for each of the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 on a fully tax equivalent basis. Non-
accruing loans have been included in assets for these computations, thereby
reducing yields on total loans. The changes in interest due to both rate and
volume in the rate/volume analysis table below have been allocated to volume or
rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.

Net interest income for 1999 increased $2,864,000, or 12.1% over the prior
year. In this same period total interest income increased 8.5% and total
interest expense increased 2.2%.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income is an important contributor to net
earnings. The major component of the Corporation's non-interest income is
various charges and fees earned on deposit accounts and related services. The
following table summarizes the changes in non-interest income during the past
three years (dollars in thousands):
1999 1998 1997
------------------- ------------------ --------
Amount % Change Amount % Change Amount

------ ------ ------
Total Non-interest Income $3,880 .8 $3,850 17.9 $3,265
====== ====== ======
Service charges on deposits decreased in 1999 as a result of customers
maintaining higher balances in accounts thereby avoiding service charges.
The non-recurring income in 1999 included $155,000 from refunds of state
franchise taxes paid in prior years, $105,000 gain on sale of land, $100,000
forfeited deposit related to sale of foreclosed property and $114,000 of
interest recovered on loans either charged-off in prior years or loans that were
on non-accural status in prior years. Non-recurring income in 1998 also
included refunds of state franchise tax of $137,000 and gains on sales of
miscellaneous assets of $178,000.
The increase in other non-interest income in 1999 is primarily due to an
increase in income from debit card fees, mortgage brokerage/origination fees and
fees earned on investment services to customers.
Excluding non-recurring income and gains and losses on securities, non-interest
income increased .1% in 1999 and 9.3% in 1998.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense includes all expenses of the
Corporation other than interest expense, provision for loan losses and income
tax expense. The following table summarizes the changes in the non-interest
expenses for the past three years (dollars in thousands):
1999 1998 1997

======= ======= =======
Total non-interest expense increased 7.4% in 1999 over 1998 reflecting increases
in salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses,
other real estate owned expense, legal and professional fees and other operating
expenses. As a percent of average assets, non-interest expenses were 2.83%,
2.95%, and 2.98%, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The "efficiency ratio"
(non-interest expenses divided by total non-interest income plus net interest
income) was 50.14% for 1999. The efficiency ratio measures what percentage of
total revenues are absorbed by non-interest expense. These measures of
operating efficiency compare very favorably to other financial institutions in
the Corporation's peer groups.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits for 1999 is due to routine salary
merit increases, increased incentive bonus payments (reflecting the
Corporation's improved financial performance) and additions to staff. The
average number of full-time equivalent employees increased by 8 in 1999 to an
average full-time equivalent of 174. At year end 1999 the full-time equivalent
staff was 179 versus 169 at the same time the prior year. The increase in the
number of employees is primarily due to the overall growth of the Corporation.
The increase in occupancy expense includes rent for expanded space at two
facilities. Also, increases of approximately 24%, in the aggregate, were
experienced in repairs expense and ad valorem tax expense on current facilities.
The increase in expenses for the other real estate owned reflects the higher
balance of other real estate owned during the year, which averaged $1.7 million
for the year.
The increase in furniture and equipment expense is primarily a result of
depreciation and service contract expense for expanded data processing equipment
and software.
Legal and professional fees increased in 1999 and reflects increases in attorney
fees related to certain problem loans and due to fees paid to consultants for
assistance in reviewing Y2K issues and in development of new products, such as
cash management.
Other taxes, primarily franchise taxes paid to the State of Texas, were lower
due to somewhat more aggressive tax planning in 1999.
Other operating expenses increased in 1999 due to an increase in various
miscellaneous operating costs including telephone service fees, ATM support
expenses and credit collection fees.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense. The Corporation has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." See Note
10 of the Corporation's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details
of tax expense. The Corporation provided $4.9 million for federal income taxes
for 1999, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.7%.
Investment Securities. The following table presents the consolidated investment
securities portfolio at amortized cost as of December 31, 1999, classified as to

whether the security is to be Held-to-Maturity or is Available-for-Sale (see
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of
these designations), by stated maturity and with the weighted average interest
yield for each range of maturities. The yields on tax-exempt obligations are
computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using statutory rates for federal
income taxes.

The yield on the investment securities portfolio of the Corporation at December
31, 1999 was 5.96% and the weighted average life of the portfolio on that date
was approximately 2.8 years. At December 31, 1998 the yield of the portfolio
was 5.94% and the weighted average life was 1.6 years. In late 1998 the
Corporation purchased $30,000,000 par value of U.S. Agency Discount notes.
These securities had a maturity of 30 to 120 days and provided a yield greater
than Federal funds while providing the necessary liquidity. The inclusion of
these notes in the portfolio reduced the average life of the portfolio.
Note 2 to the Corporation's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements shown in
this report reflects the estimated fair values for various categories of
investment securities as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. As of December 31,
1999, there was a net unrealized loss of $2,382,000 in the portfolio of which
$1,797,000 related to Available-for-Sale securities, or 1.4% of the amortized
cost of those securities.

In 1999, approximately $71 million of investment securities were sold, resulting
in a net loss on sale of securities of $3,000. Management of the Corporation
views these trades as an opportunity to restructure the portfolio for future

The preceding loan distribution table reflects that total loans increased $49.6
million (16.2%) between year-end 1998 and 1999. Although this dollar increase
was significant, the Corporation is continuing to apply stringent credit
criteria on all loan applications. At December 31, 1999, loans were 74.0% of
deposits compared to 65.7% at the previous year-end reflecting a somewhat
slower growth in deposits compared to loans. Average loans were 71.4% of
average deposits in 1999 compared to 69.8% in 1998.
Primarily, the commercial loan customers of the Subsidiary Banks are small to
medium-sized businesses and professionals and executives. The banks offer a
variety of commercial loan products that include revolving lines of credit,
letters of credit, working capital loans and loans to finance accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment. Generally, these commercial loans have
floating rates of interest with terms of maturity of three years or less.
A significant portion of the $121 million real estate mortgage portfolio is
loans to finance owner-occupied real estate. At December 31, 1999, $69 million
of loans, approximately 57% of the real estate mortgage portfolio, had been made
for this purpose. Also, approximately 33% of the loans in the real estate
mortgage portfolio have variable rates of interest with a significant portion of
the remaining portfolio having balloon terms at five to seven years and/or rate
adjustment clauses.
Real estate construction loans are made primarily to finance construction of
single family residences in the Corporation's market area of Tarrant County.
Construction loans generally are secured by first liens on real estate and have
floating interest rates. The Corporation's lending activities in this area are
primarily with borrowers that have been in the building trade for many years and
with which the banks have long standing relationships. The Corporation's
lending officers meet quarterly with consultants that carefully track the
residential building activities within the market. The Corporation will adjust
its construction lending activities based on the trends of housing starts and
absorption rates in the market.
The Corporation also lends to consumers for purchases of various consumer goods,
such as automobiles, boats and home improvements. The terms of these loans
typically are five years or less and are well secured with liens on products
purchased or other assets. These loans are primarily made to customers who have
other relationships with the banks. The Corporation does not issue credit cards
and does not have any credit card loans outstanding.
The following table presents commercial loans and real estate construction loans
at December 31, 1999, based on scheduled principal repayments and the total
amount of loans due after one year classified according to sensitivity to

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through
charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loans, or
portions thereof, which are considered to be uncollectible are charged against
this allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance represents the amount which, in management's judgement, will be
adequate to absorb future charge-offs of existing loans which may become
uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management's
periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio and by the employment of third party
loan review specialists. All known problem loans, unknown inherent risks
generally associated with bank lending, past loan loss experience, delinquency
ratios and current and projected economic conditions are taken into account in
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance.
The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"), as amended
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 118").
These standards specify how allowances for certain impaired loans should be
determined and the accounting for in-substance foreclosures.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more and the loan is not both well-secured and in the
process of collection, or immediately, if in the opinion of management, full
collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Loans are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of
the principal is unlikely.

The allocation is determined by providing specific reserves against each
criticized loan plus a general allocation against the remaining balance of the
portfolio based on experience factors. Management of the Corporation believes
that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999, is adequate to cover
losses inherent in the portfolio. There can be no assurance that the
Corporation will not sustain loan losses in future periods which could be
substantial in relation to the size of the current allowance. The total
allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of loans.
Non-Performing Assets. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans,
renegotiated loans and other real estate. Non-accrual loans are those on which
the accrual of interest has been suspended and on which the interest is recorded
as earned when it is received. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status
when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not both
well-secured and in the process of collection, or immediately, if in the opinion
of management, full collection of principal or interest is doubtful. At the
time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously recorded but
not collected is reversed and charged against current interest income.
Renegotiated loans are loans on which the interest and/or the principal has been
reduced due to a deterioration in the borrower's financial condition. Even
though these loans are actually performing, they are included in non-performing
assets because of the loss of revenue related to the reduction of interest
and/or principal.
Other real estate is real estate acquired through foreclosure or through partial
settlement of debts and which is awaiting sale and disposition. At the time of
acquisition, other real estate is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value
or the loan balance or settlement agreement with any write-down charged to the
allowance for loan losses. Any further write-downs, expenses related to the
property, and any gain or loss resulting from the sale of the property are
recorded in current operating expenses.
-24-
The Subsidiary Banks are required, by the regulatory authorities, to have other
real estate evaluated periodically. In the event the new evaluation value is
less than the carrying value of the property, the excess is written off to
expense. Some properties are written down below their evaluation values when
management feels the economic value of the property has declined below the
evaluation value.

due and still accruing as of December 31, (dollars in thousands):

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 1999, were comprised of $2,254,000 in
commercial loans, $66,000 in real estate mortgages and $130,000 in consumer
loans. Within the non-accrual commercial loans is one loan of $1,755,000 that is
performing as to payment of principal and interest, however, the borrower is
experiencing financial difficulty due to their line of business. Other Real
Estate is primarily two properties - a new assisted living facility that has a
book value of $1,451,000 and a single family residence with a book value of
$425,000. It is anticipated that the residence will be sold in the second
quarter of 2000.

Loans of each Subsidiary Bank are graded on a system similar to that used by the
banking industry regulators. The first level of criticized loans is "Other
Assets Especially Mentioned" (OAEM). These loans are normally fundamentally
sound but have potential weaknesses which may, if not corrected, weaken the
asset or inadequately protect the bank's credit position at some future date.
The second level is "Substandard", which are loans inadequately protected by
current sound net worth, paying capacity or pledged collateral. The last level
of criticized loans, before they are charged off, is "Doubtful". Doubtful loans
are considered to have inherent weaknesses because collection or liquidation in
full is highly questionable.
Non-accrual loans normally include weaker Substandard loans and loans that are
considered to be Doubtful.

Independent third party loan reviews of the Subsidiary Banks were completed at
various times in 1999. In addition, regulatory examinations were completed in
late 1999. Based on the findings of these reviews and exams management considers
the Subsidiary Banks to be adequately reserved.
Management is not aware of any potential loan problems, that have not been
disclosed, to which serious doubts exist as to the ability of the borrower to
substantially comply with the present repayment terms.
Deposits. The primary source of the Corporation's funds is the deposits of the
Subsidiary Banks. The majority of the Corporation's deposits are considered
"core" deposits, that is, deposits that are not subject to material changes due
to customer withdrawal because of market rate changes. The Corporation does not
accept brokered deposits. Average demand deposits increased $14.6 million, or
12.5% in 1999. These deposits represented 28.2% of total deposits. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased $32.0 million, or 10.6%. The deposit types'

Borrowings. Securities sold under repurchase agreements generally represent
borrowings with maturities ranging from one to thirty days. These borrowings are
with significant commercial customers of the banks that require short-term
liquidity for their funds. Information relating to these borrowings is

Interest Rate:
Average 4.04% 4.40% 4.53%
Year-end 3.38 3.83 4.55
Interest Rate Sensitivity. The objectives of monitoring and managing the
interest rate risk of the balance sheet are to contribute to earnings by
minimizing adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the
direction and level of interest rates and to provide liquidity to satisfy cash
flow requirements to meet customers' fluctuating demands.
Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in the market
interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing
characteristics of assets and liabilities.
An asset-sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets than
liabilities being subject to repricing; therefore, market interest-rate changes
will be reflected more quickly in asset rates. If interest rates decline, such a
position will have an adverse effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a
liability-sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets
in a given period, a decline in market rates will benefit net interest income.
A mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in which relatively
equal volumes reprice each period represents a matched interest sensitivity
"gap" position; any excess of these assets or liabilities results in an interest
sensitive gap.
The following table, commonly referred to as a "static gap report", indicates
the interest rate-sensitivity position at December 31, 1999 and may not be

In the preceding table under the "After 1 Year" category, $45,102,000 in
investment securities will reprice or mature within one to three years and
another $55,921,000 will reprice or mature within three to five years. The
average maturity of the investment portfolio is approximately 2.8 years. Also,
the above table reflects the call dates versus maturity dates and periodic
principal amortization of investment securities.
The preceding static gap report reflects a cumulative liability sensitive
position during the one year horizon. An inherent weakness of this report is
that it ignores the relative volatility any one category may have in relation to
other categories or market rates in general. For instance, the rate paid on
certain interest-bearing transaction accounts typically moves slower than the
three month T-Bill. Management attempts to capture this relative volatility by
utilizing a simulation model with a "beta factor" adjustment which estimates the
volatility of rate sensitive assets and/or liabilities in relation to other
market rates.
Beta factors are an estimation of the long term, multiple interest rate
environment relation between an individual account and market rates in general.
For instance, NOW, savings and money market accounts, which are repriceable
within 30 days will have considerably lower beta factors than variable rate
loans and most investment categories. Taking this into consideration, it is
quite possible for a bank with a negative cumulative gap to total asset ratio to
have a positive "beta adjusted" gap risk position.
As a result of applying the beta factors established by the Corporation's
management to the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in the static
gap report via a simulation model, the cumulative gap to total assets ratio at
one year of (14.02%) was reversed to a positive 8.05% "beta adjusted" gap
position. Management feels that the "beta adjusted" gap risk technique more
accurately reflects the Corporation's gap position.
In addition to gap analysis, the Corporation uses an interest rate risk
simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net
interest income and the balance sheet, respectively. Contractual maturities and
repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment
assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio.
Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for
nonmaturity deposit accounts. Based on the December 31, 1999 simulation
analysis, it is estimated that a 200 basis point rise in rates over the next 12
month period would have an impact of approximately 4.1% on net interest income
for the period, while a 200 basis point decline in rates over the same period
would have an impact of approximately (6.3)% on net interest income for the
period. The change is relatively small, despite the liability sensitive gap
position. The results are primarily from the behavior of demand, money market
and savings deposits. The Corporation has found that, historically, interest
rates on these deposits change more slowly in a rising rate environment than in
a declining rate environment. This assumption is incorporated into the
simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis. The
analysis does not contemplate any actions that the Corporation might undertake
in response to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, this analysis, is
not intended to be and does not provide, a forecast of the effect actual changes
in market rates will have on the Corporation.
The following table reflects the spreads and margins for the past three (3)
years:

Capital Resources. At December 31, 1999 shareholders' equity totaled $48.7
million, an increase of $2.5 million or 5.4% for the year. This increase
reflects retained earnings, i.e., earnings net of dividends to shareholders, and
the impact of the repurchase shares of common stock of the Corporation. In 1999,
$3.2 million of stock was repurchased.
Bank regulatory authorities have established risk-based capital guidelines for
U.S. banking organizations. The objective of these efforts is to provide a more
consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and
to reflect the level of risk associated with holding various categories of
assets. The guidelines define Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The only
components of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, for the Corporation, are equity capital
and a portion of the allowance for loan losses, respectively. These two
components combine to become Total Capital. The guidelines also stipulate that
four categories of risk weights (0, 20, 50, and 100 percent), primarily based on
the relative credit risk of the counterparty, be applied to the different types
of balance sheet assets. Risk weights for all off-balance sheet exposures are
determined by a two step process, whereas the face value of the off-balance
sheet item is converted to a "credit equivalent amount" and that amount is
assigned to the appropriate risk category. Off-balance sheet items at December
1997, 1998 and 1999 included unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.
The minimum ratio for qualifying Total Capital is 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1
capital.
-28-
The Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency also have a
capital to total assets (leverage) guideline. These guidelines establish a
minimum level of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3 percent. A banking
organization operating at or near these levels is expected to have well-
diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and in
general be considered a strong banking organization. Organizations not meeting
these characteristics are expected to operate well above these minimum capital
standards. Thus, for all but the most highly rated organizations, the minimum
Tier 1 leverage ratio is to be 3 percent plus minimum additional cushions of at
least 100 to 200 basis points. At the discretion of the regulatory authorities,
additional capital may be required.
The table below illustrates the Corporation's and its Subsidiary Banks'
compliance with the regulatory guidelines as of December 31, 1999 (dollars in

The Corporation had an unrealized loss on Available-for-Sale securities, net of
deferred taxes, of $1,186,000 as of December 31, 1999. Under regulatory
requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on Available-for-Sale securities is
not included in the calculation of risk-based capital.
As can be seen in the preceding table, the Corporation and its Subsidiary Banks
exceed the risk-based capital and leverage requirements set by the regulators as
of December 31, 1999.
Also, as of December 31, 1999, the Corporation and its Subsidiary Banks met the
criteria for classification as a "well-capitalized" institution under the rules
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA").
Liquidity. Liquidity is defined as the Corporation's ability to meet deposit
withdrawals, provide for the legitimate credit needs of customers, and take
advantage of certain investment opportunities as they arise. While maintaining
adequate liquid assets to fulfill these functions, it must also maintain
compatible levels of maturity and rate concentrations between its sources of
funds and earning assets. The liability structure of the Corporation is short-
term in nature and the asset structure is likewise oriented towards short
maturities.
The Corporation's primary "internal" source of liquidity is its federal funds
sold and its marketable investment securities, particularly those with shorter
maturities. At December 31, 1999, federal funds sold and investment securities
maturing within 30 days represented $25,525,000 million or 4.5% of total assets.
Additionally, the Corporation's ability to sell loan participations and purchase
federal funds serves as secondary sources of liquidity. Each of the Subsidiary
Banks have approved federal funds lines at other banks.
The liquidity of the Corporation is enhanced by the fact that 91.7% of total
deposits at December 31, 1999, were "core" deposits. Core deposits for this
purpose are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of
deposit greater than $100,000. Also, the Corporation loan to deposit ratio
averaged a somewhat conservative 71.4% for the year.
The parent Corporation's income, which provides funds for the payment of
dividends to shareholders and for other corporate purposes, is derived from the
investment in its subsidiaries and from management fees paid by the
subsidiaries. See Note 16 - Dividends from Subsidiaries for limitations on
dividends payable by subsidiaries.
-29-
Impact of Inflation. The effects of inflation on the local economy and on the
Corporation's operating results have been relatively modest for the past several
years. Since substantially all of the Corporation's assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature, such as cash, investments, loans and deposits, their values
are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates,
which do not necessarily change in accordance with inflation rates. The
Corporation attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by
managing the relationship between its interest rate sensitive assets and
liabilities.
Forward-Looking Statements. The Corporation may from time to time make forward-
looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995) with respect to earnings per share, credit quality,
corporate objectives and other financial and business matters. The Corporation
cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including economic conditions;
actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board; legislative and regulatory actions
and reforms; competition; as well as other reasons, all of which change over
time. Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
For information regarding the market risk of the Corporation's financial
instruments, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity." The
Corporation's principal market risk exposure is to interest rates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Summit Bancshares, Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and
Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending
December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The management of the Corporation is responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements, related financial data and other information in this
annual report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with general accepted accounting principles and include amounts based
on management's estimates and judgment where appropriate. Financial information
appearing throughout this annual report is consistent with the financial
statements.
In meeting its responsibility both for the integrity and fairness of these
financial statements and information, management depends on the accounting
systems and related internal accounting controls that are designed to provide
reasonable assurances that transactions are authorized and recorded in
accordance with established procedures and that assets are safeguarded and that
proper and reliable records are maintained.
The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of
a system of internal controls should not exceed the related benefits. As an
integral part of the system of internal controls, the Corporation retains
auditors who monitor compliance with and evaluate the effectiveness of the
system of internal controls and coordinate audit coverage with the independent
auditors.
The Audit Committee of the Corporation and the Banking Subsidiaries' Board of
Directors, which are composed entirely of directors independent of management,
meet regularly with management, regulatory examiners, internal auditors, the
loan review consultants and independent auditors to discuss financial reporting
matters, internal controls, regulatory reports, internal auditing and the
nature, scope and results of audit efforts. Internal audit and loan review
personnel report directly to the Audit Committee. The banking regulators,
internal auditors and independent auditors have direct access to the Audit
Committee.
The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Stovall, Grandey &
Whatley, independent auditors, who render an independent opinion on management's
financial statements. Their appointment was recommended by the Audit Committee
and approved by the Board of Directors and by the shareholders. The audit by the
independent auditors provides an additional assessment of the degree to which
the Corporation's management meets its responsibility for financial reporting.
Their opinion on the financial statements is based on auditing procedures, which
include their consideration of the internal control structure and performance of
selected tests of transactions and records, as they deem appropriate. These
auditing procedures are designed to provide an additional reasonable level of
assurance that the financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with
general accepted accounting principles in all material respects.

SUMMIT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Summit Bancshares, Inc. ("the
Corporation") and its Subsidiaries are in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and the prevailing practices within the banking industry.
A summary of the more significant policies follows:
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
- -----------------------------------------------------
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include its accounts
and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Summit National Bank, Summit
Community Bank, N.A. (the "Subsidiary Banks") and Summit Bancservices, Inc.
("Bancservices"). 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 and 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.
Cash and Due From Banks
- -----------------------
The Subsidiary Banks are required to maintain certain restricted balances at the
Federal Reserve Bank based on their level of deposits. During 1999 the average
cash balance maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank was approximately
$1,000,000. Compensating balances held at correspondent banks to minimize
service charges averaged approximately $18,004,000 in 1999.
Investment Securities
- ---------------------
The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities " ("SFAS
115"). At the date of purchase, the Corporation is required to classify debt and
equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, trading or
available-for-sale. At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the
classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities are classified as
held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in the financial statements 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 financial statements with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are
classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value in the financial
statements with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in a separate
component of shareholders' equity until realized.
The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold to maturity its investment
securities classified as held-to-maturity; accordingly, no adjustment has been
made for the excess, if any, of amortized cost over market. In determining the
investment category classifications at time of purchase of securities,
management considers its asset/liability strategy, changes in interest rates and
prepayment risk, the need to increase capital and other factors. Under certain
circumstances (including the deterioration of the issuer's credit worthiness, a
change in tax law, or statutory or regulatory requirements), the Corporation may
change the investment security classification. In 1999 and 1998 the Corporation
held no securities that would have been classified as trading securities.
All investment securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are
recorded to interest income over the contractual maturity or estimated life of
the individual investment on the level yield method. Gain or loss on sale of
investments is based upon the specific identification method and the gain or
loss is recorded in non-interest income. Income earned on the Corporation's
investments in securities of state and political subdivisions is not taxable.
-38-
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
- -----------------------------------
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less unearned discount and
the allowance for loan losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is
recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method approximating the
interest method. Interest income on all other loans is recognized based upon the
principal amounts outstanding, the simple interest method. Generally, loan
origination and commitment fees are recognized at the time of funding and are
considered adjustments to interest income. Related direct costs are not
separately allocated to loans but are charged to non-interest expense in the
period incurred. The net effect of not recognizing such fees and related costs
over the life of the related loan is not considered to be material to the
financial statements. The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in
the opinion of management, there is doubt about the ability of the borrower to
pay interest or principal. Interest previously earned, but uncollected on such
loans, is written off. After loans are placed on non-accrual all payments
received are applied to principal and no interest income is recorded until the
loan is returned to accrual status or the principal has been reduced to zero.
The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), as amended by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure." Under SFAS 114,
the allowance for loan losses related to any loans that are identified for
evaluation in accordance with SFAS 114 (impaired loans) is based on discounted
cash flows using the loan's initial effective rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.
The allowance for loan losses is comprised of amounts charged against income in
the form of the provision for loan losses as determined by management.
Management's evaluation is based on a number of subjective factors, including
the Subsidiary Banks' loss experience in relation to outstanding loans and the
existing level of the allowance, prevailing and prospective economic conditions,
and management's continuing review of nonperformance loans and its evaluation of
the quality of the loan portfolio. Loan balances are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of
the principal is unlikely.
The evaluation of the adequacy of loan collateral is often based upon estimates
and appraisals. Because of changing economic conditions, the valuations
determined from such estimates and appraisals may also change. Accordingly, the
Corporation may ultimately incur losses which vary from management's current
estimates. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will be reported in the
period such adjustments become known or are reasonably estimable.
Premises and Equipment
- ----------------------
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method based
upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to non-interest expense. Renewals and improvements are added to the
asset accounts and depreciated over the periods benefited.
Other Real Estate
- -----------------
Other real estate is foreclosed property held pending disposition and is valued
at the lower of its fair value or the recorded investment in the related loan.
At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real
estate acquired is less than the Corporation's recorded investment in the
related loan, a writedown is recognized through a charge to the allowance for
loan losses. Any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to
income. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains
and losses on disposition are included in non-interest expense.
Federal Income Taxes
- --------------------
The Corporation joins with its subsidiaries in filing a consolidated federal
income tax return. The subsidiaries pay the Corporation a charge equivalent to
their current federal income tax based on the separate taxable income of the
subsidiaries.
The Corporation and the subsidiaries maintain their records for financial
reporting and income tax reporting purposes on the accrual basis of accounting.
Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred taxes are
provided for the accumulated temporary differences due to basic differences for
assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax reporting.
Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient
future taxable income. Although realization is not assured, management believes
it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be
realized. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income
are reduced.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
For the purpose of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash
equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption
"Cash and Due from Banks".
-39-
Reclassification
- ----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
- -----------------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per
Share," requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock. Net income per common share for all
periods presented has been calculated in accordance with SFAS 128. Outstanding
stock options issued by the Corporation represent the only dilutive effect
reflected in diluted weighted average shares.

31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, of mortgage-backed securities
having stated maturities after five years. The estimated maturities on these
securities are between two and twelve years as of December 31, 1999, based on
estimated prepayments of the underlying mortgages.
Investment securities with carrying values of $63,826,000 and $44,567,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were pledged to secure federal, state
and municipal deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
Also, the fair values of those pledged securities totaled $63,375,000 and

Effective October 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards Board No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133") which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. At the effective date, the Corporation
transferred approximately $17,448,000 of securities from Held-to-Maturity to
Available-for-Sale classification. At the time of transfer the securities had
an approximate unrealized gain of $349,000.

considered to be impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114 was $2,403,000 and $4,596,000, respectively. These loans were on non-
accrual status. The related allowance for loan losses for these loans was
$837,000 and 1,052,000, respectively. The average recorded investment in
impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately
$3,083,000. For 1999 the Corporation recognized no interest income on any loan
classified as impaired.
Loans on which accrued interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to
approximately $2,453,000, $5,055,000, and $2,112,000 at December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997 respectively. If interest on these loans had been recorded in
accordance with their original terms such income would have approximated
$427,000 for 1999, $537,000 for 1998 and $272,000 for 1997. Interest income on
those loans included in net income was $68,000 for 1999, $312,000 for 1998 and

NOTE 7 - Short Term Borrowings
Securities sold under repurchase agreements generally represent borrowings with
maturities ranging from one to thirty days. Information relating to these
borrowings is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate:
Average 4.04% 4.40% 4.53%
Period-End 3.38 3.83 4.55
The Corporation, through one of its subsidiaries, has available a line of credit
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which allows the subsidiary to borrow
on a collateralized basis at a fixed term. At December 31, 1999, the subsidiary
had borrowed $4,000,000, bearing an interest rate of 5.43% and having a maturity
of April 2000 under the line of credit.
NOTE 8 - Notes Payable
The note payable at the Parent Company is an intercompany note and, therefore,
is reflected in the Parent Company financial statements but is eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements. The note balance at December 31, 1999 and
1998, was $650,000 and $762,000, respectively. This note matures December 15,
2004 and is secured by banking premises. The interest rate at December 31, 1999
was 8.50% and is fixed annually on the note's anniversary date.
The fair value of the note payable is it's carrying value since the note is a
variable rate loan and the note is adjusted annually in December of each year at
prime rate.
On July 15, 1999, the Corporation obtained lines of credit from a bank under
which the Corporation may borrow $9,000,000 at prime rate. The lines of credit
are secured by stock of one of the Subsidiary Banks and mature in July 2000,
whereupon, if balances are outstanding, the lines convert to term notes having
five year terms. The Corporation will not pay a fee for any unused portion of
the lines. There were no borrowings outstanding on these lines of credit at
December 31, 1999.

NOTE 11 - Related Party Transactions
During 1999 and 1998 the Subsidiary Banks had transactions which were made in
the ordinary course of business with certain of their and the Corporation's
officers, directors and their affiliates. All loans included in such
transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
other persons and all loans are current as to principal and interest payments.
A summary of these transactions follows (in thousands):

NOTE 12 - Stock Option Plan
The Corporation has two Incentive Stock Option Plans, the 1993 Plan and the 1997
Plan, ("the Plans"). Each Plan has reserved 600,000 shares (adjusted for two-
for-one stock splits in 1995 and 1997) of common stock for grants thereunder.
The Plans provide for the granting to executive management and other key
employees of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries incentive stock options,
as defined under the current tax law. The options under the Plans will be
exercisable for ten years from the date of grant and generally vest ratably over
a five year period. Options will be and have been granted at prices which will
not be less than 100-110% of the fair market value of the underlying common
stock at the date of grant.

Weighted Average Fair Value of
Options Granted During the Year $17.97 $19.25 $14.58
The options outstanding at December 31, 1999, have exercise prices between $3.00
and $19.25 with a weighted average exercise price of $8.95 and a weighted
average remaining contractual life of 5.78 years. At December 31, 1999, there
remained 484,800 shares reserved for future grants of options under the 1997
Plan. Stock options have been adjusted retroactively for the effects of stock
splits.
The Corporation accounts for this plan under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation
cost has been recognized for options granted. Had compensation cost for the
plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Corporation's net income
and earnings per share would have been reduced by insignificant amounts on a pro
forma basis for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The fair value of
the options granted in 1999 and 1998 were estimated as of the date of grant
using an accepted options pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.28% and 5.48% respectively; expected
dividend yield of 2.0% and 2.0%, respectively; expected volatility of 29.1% and
29.7%, respectively; and expected life of 5.8 years.
NOTE 13 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Corporation 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.
These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of
credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in
excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are as follows
(in thousands):
December 31, December 31,
1999 1998
Contract Contract
Amount Amount
------------ ------------
Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Represent Credit Risk:
Loan commitments including unfunded lines of credit $112,728 $106,806
Standby letters of credit 2,545 2,155
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment
of a fee.
Since many of the loan commitments and letters of credit may expire without
being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent
future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments
by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
-47-
The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation
of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include certificates of
deposit, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and real
property.
The Corporation originates real estate, commercial and consumer loans primarily
to customers in the Tarrant County area. Although the Corporation has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers' ability to
honor their contracts is dependent upon the local economy and the real estate
market.
The Corporation maintains funds on deposit at correspondent banks which at times
exceed the federally insured limits. Management of the Corporation monitors the
balance in the account and periodically assesses the financial condition of
correspondent banks.

NOTE 15 - Employee Benefit Plans
Pension Plan
- ------------
The Corporation had a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of
its employees. The benefits were based on years of service and the employee's
compensation history. The employee's compensation used in the benefit
calculation were the highest average for any five consecutive years of
employment within the employee's last ten years of employment.
Effective August 31, 1998, the accrual of benefits under this plan were
suspended. In February 1999, the Board of Directors chose to terminate the plan
effective April 15, 1999. The assets held in trust were distributed to the plan
participants in mid-1999 under terms of the plan.
During 1999 and 1998 the Corporation expensed $321,000 and $545,000 in support
of the plan, respectively.
401(k) Plan
- -----------
The Corporation implemented a 401(k) plan in December 1997 covering
substantially all employees. The Corporation made no contribution to this plan
in 1999 or 1998. In 2000, the Corporation will make matching contributions to
the participant's deferrals of compensation up to 100% of the employee
contributions not to exceed 6% of the employee's annual compensation.
Management Security Plan
- ------------------------
In 1992, the Corporation established a Management Security Plan to provide key
employees with retirement, death or disability benefits. The expense charged to
operations in 1999, 1998, and 1997 for such future obligations was $223,000,
$237,000, and $276,000, respectively.
Other Post Retirement Benefits
- ------------------------------
The Corporation provides certain health care benefits for certain retired
employees who bear all costs of these benefits. These benefits are covered
under the "Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act" (COBRA).
-48-
Compensated Absences
- --------------------
Employees of the Corporation are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and
other personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service, and
other factors. It is impracticable to estimate the amount of compensation for
future absences, and, accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to recognize the
costs of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.
NOTE 16 - Dividends From Subsidiaries
The primary source of funds for the Parent Company is cash dividends received
from the Subsidiary Banks. The amount of dividends that the Subsidiary Banks
may pay in any one year, without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, is
the sum of the retained net profits for the preceding two years plus its total
of the net profits for the current year. Under this formula, in 2000 the
Subsidiary Banks can legally initiate dividend payments of $11,191,000 plus an
additional amount equal to their net profits, as defined, for 2000 to the date
of any such dividend payment. The Subsidiary Banks are also restricted from
paying dividends that would cause the Bank to be under-capitalized.
Internal dividend policies limit dividends paid by Subsidiary Banks if their
equity capital levels fall below certain minimums determined by the respective
Boards of Directors.
NOTE 17 - Litigation
Certain of the Subsidiary Banks are involved in legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management, after reviewing
such actions with outside legal counsel, that the settlement of these matters
will not materially affect the Corporation's financial position.
NOTE 18 - Stock Split
In October 1997, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a two-for-
one stock split of the Corporation's common stock to be effected as a 100% stock
dividend. The split was paid in December 1997. All references in the
accompanying financial statements regarding stock options and per share data for
prior periods have been restated to reflect the stock split.
NOTE 19 - Stock Repurchase Plan
On April 21, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan. The
plan authorized management to purchase up to 322,232 shares of the Corporation's
common stock over the following twelve months through the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions in accordance with all applicable state and
federal laws and regulations. In 1999, 173,100 shares were purchased on the
open market.
Under similar programs approved by the Board in the years 1994 through 1998,
291,180 shares in the aggregate were purchased in those years, reflecting two-
for-one stock splits in years 1995 and 1997.
NOTE 20 - Regulatory Capital Compliance
The Corporation and Subsidiary Banks are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. These requirements
assign risk factors to all assets, including off-balance sheet items such as
loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can cause certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
on the Corporation's consolidated financial statement. Capital is separated
into two categories, Tier 1 and Tier 2, which combine for Total Capital. At
December 1999 and 1998, the Corporation's and Subsidiary Bank's Tier 1 capital
consists of their respective shareholders' equity and Tier 2 consists of the
allowance for loans losses subject to certain limitations. The guidelines
require Total Capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets, of which 4% must be Tier I
capital.
In conjunction with risk-based capital guidelines, the regulators have issued
capital leverage guidelines. The leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital as a
percent of total assets. The minimum leverage ratio for all financial
institutions is 3%, with a higher minimum ratio dependent upon the condition of
the individual financial institution. The 3% minimum was established to make
certain that all financial institutions have a minimum capital level to support
their assets, regardless of risk profile.
-49-
In addition to the minimum guidelines stated above, the regulatory authorities
have established minimums for an institution to be classified as "well
capitalized." A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the
institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or
greater and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement,
capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a
specific capital level for any capital measure. The Corporation and Subsidiary
Banks currently exceed all minimum capital requirements and are considered to be
"well capitalized", the highest rating, by the regulatory authorities.
Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would have changed the
Corporation's capital rating since December 31, 1999.
The Corporation's regulatory capital position was as follows:

NOTE 21 - Subsequent Events
On January 18, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a
quarterly dividend of $.10 per share to be paid on February 15, 2000 to
shareholders of record on February 1, 2000.
NOTE 22 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No.
131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
("SFAS No. 131") effective January 1, 1998. This statement establishes
standards for reporting information about segments in annual and interim
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 introduces a new model for segment reporting
called "management approach". The management approach is based on the way the
chief operating decision-maker organizes segments within a company for making
operating decisions and assessing performance.
-50-
Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal
structure, management structure and any other means in which management
disaggregates a company. Based on the "management approach" model, the
Corporation has determined that its business is comprised of a single operating
segment and that SFAS No. 131 therefore has no impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 23 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS 107"), "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates
using present value tables or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments
and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
--------------------------
for cash and due from banks approximate those assets' fair values.
Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair values for
-------------------------------------------------------------
investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If
quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market
prices of comparable instruments.
Loans: For variable-rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values. The
------
fair values for fixed rate loans such as mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four
family residential) and installment loans are estimated using discounted cash
flow analysis. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates
its fair value.
Deposit liabilities: The fair value disclosed for interest bearing and non-
--------------------
interest bearing demand deposits, passbook savings, and certain types of money
market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date or their carrying amounts. Fair values for fixed-rate
certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation
that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short-term borrowings: The carrying value of borrowings under repurchase
----------------------
agreements approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed rate FHLB
Borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.
The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments are as
follows (in thousands):
