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

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position and unaudited results of operations. All
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. However, the unaudited
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. In computing diluted earnings per common
share for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company assumes
that all outstanding options to purchase common stock have been exercised
at the beginning of the year (or time of issuance, if later). The dilutive
effect of the outstanding options is reflected by application of the
treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the exercised options are
assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price
during the respective period. The weighted average common shares
outstanding used in computing basic earnings per common share for the
quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, were 9,850,739 and 9,974,306
shares, respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used
in computing diluted earnings per common share for the quarters ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, were 9,876,894 and 10,006,257 shares, respectively.

Note 3 - Subsequent Events

On April 10, 2001, the Company entered into agreement to purchase all of
its outstanding shares of City Bancshares, Inc. for $16,500,000. City
Bancshares, Inc. through its subsidiary, City Delaware Financial
Corporation, is the owner of City National Bank in Mineral Wells, Texas.
The acquisition, to be accounted for utilizing the purchase method of
accounting, is expected to increase assets of the Company by approximately
$90,000,000 and will result in goodwill approximating $7,500,000. The
transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2001.

On April 24, 2001, the Company declared a 25% stock dividend payable June
1, 2001. Historical financial information will be restated to reflect the
stock dividend beginning in the second quarter of 2001; however, the
following tables reflect the pro forma effect on weighted average shares
outstanding, earnings per share and dividends per share presented in these
financial statements:

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

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

Net income for the first quarter 2001 totaled $7.0 million, an increase of $300
thousand, or 3.8% over earnings of $6.7 million for the same period last year. A
lower loan loss provision coupled with higher noninterest income were the
primary factors contributing to the improved earnings. On a per share basis,
earnings amounted to $0.71 per share as compared to $0.68 per share for first
quarter 2000. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the
first quarter 2001 amounted to 1.63% and 14.50%, respectively. For the same
period in 2000, return on average assets and return on average equity amounted
to 1.60% and 15.18%, respectively.

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter 2001 amounted to $17.6
million, virtually unchanged from the same period last year. Additional interest
income generated from growth in earnings assets was offset with a reduction in
the net interest yield. For the first quarter 2001, the net interest yield
amounted to 4.51% as compared to 4.64% for the first quarter last year. The
decrease is attributable to first quarter rate reductions that resulted in
earning asset yields falling in advance of the repricing of interest-bearing
deposits.

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2001 totaled $366 thousand
as compared to $741 thousand for the first quarter last year. Net charge offs
for the first quarter totaled $679 thousand which, on an annualized basis,
amounted to .32% of average loans as compared to .18% for the full year of 2000.
At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses amounted to 300.2% of
nonperforming loans and 1.10% of total loans, which was considered by Management
to be adequate.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter was $6.7 million, as compared to
$6.5 million for the same period last year. Trust fees and service fees on
deposit accounts were up $171 thousand and $118 thousand, respectively, over
prior year amount. Growth in accounts and transaction volumes were the primary
factors contributing to the increased level of fees.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2001 amounted to $13.2 million which
was $200 thousand above the same period last year. Salaries and employee
benefits expense were $55 thousand higher than the first quarter 2000 amount.
Net occupancy and equipment expense in aggregate for the first quarter 2001
increased $130 thousand over the same period last year. Higher utilities and
maintenance were the primary factors contributing to the increase. The Company's
key indicator of operating efficiency, noninterest expense as a percent of net
interest income and noninterest income, was 54.18% for the first quarter as
compared to 53.61% for the first quarter in 2000.

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

Total assets at March 31, 2001, amounted to $1.784 billion as compared to $1.754
billion at December 31, 2000, and $1.708 billion at March 31, 2000. The balance
sheets presented reflect normal recurring adjustments and accruals.

Loans at March 31, 2001, totaled $869 million as compared to $859 million at
year-end 2000 and $808 million at March 31, 2000. As compared to year-end 2000
amounts, loans at March 31, 2001, reflect (i) a $4 million decrease in
commercial, financial and agricultural loans; (ii) an $8 million increase in
real estate loans; and (iii) a $6 million increase in loans to individuals.
Investment securities at March 31, 2001, totaled $626 million as compared to
$654 million at year-end 2000 and $671 million at March 31, 2000. The net
unrealized gain in the investment portfolio at March 31, 2001, amounted to $22.2
million and had an overall yield of 6.37%. At March 31, 2001, the Company did
not hold any structured notes or CMOs that entail higher risks than standard
mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits at March 31, 2001, amounted to $1.541
billion as compared to $1.520 billion at year-end 2000 and $1.500 billion at
March 31, 2000.


-10-
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001, totaled $3.6 million as compared to $4.1
million at December 31, 2000. The decrease resulted primarily from a $384
thousand decrease in nonaccrual loans. At .41% of loans plus foreclosed assets,
Management considers nonperforming assets to be at a manageable level and is
unaware of any material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming.

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

The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows are presented on page 8 of
this report. At March 31, 2001, the parent company had no debt outstanding under
its $25 million line of credit with an unaffiliated financial institution. Total
equity capital amounted to $201.9 million at March 31, 2001, which was up from
$196.1 million at year-end 2000 and $182.4 million at March 31, 2000. The
Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios at March 31, 2001, were 19.14%
and 10.43%, respectively. The first quarter 2001 cash dividend of $0.33 per
share totaled $3.2 million and represented 46.4% of first quarter earnings. On
April 24, 2001, the Company declared a 25% stock dividend payable June 1, 2001,
and a $0.30 per share cash dividend payable July 2, 2001.

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

Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. The
Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily through the
Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities which generate favorable earnings, while
limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. The
Company uses no off-balance-sheet financial instruments to manage interest rate
risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability committee which monitors
interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies. Interest-sensitivity
gap and simulation analysis are among the ways that the subsidiary banks track
interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2001, Management estimates that, over the
next twelve months, an upward shift of interest rates by 200 basis points would
result in an increase of projected net interest income of 5.1% and a downward
shift of interest rates by 200 basis points would result in a reduction in
projected net interest income of 8.5%. These are good faith estimates and assume
that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing
at March 31, 2001, will remain constant over the relevant twelve month
measurement period and that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous
and sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing
characteristics of specific assets or liabilities. Also, this analysis does not
contemplate any actions that we might undertake in response to changes in market
interest rates. In Management's belief, these estimates are not necessarily
indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest rate
increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and
liabilities reprice at different time frames and proportions to market interest
rate movements, various assumptions must be made based on historical
relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion. Since these
correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, our future results
would, in Management's belief, be different from the foregoing estimates, and
such results could be material.
