                Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


Basis of Presentation

Texarkana First Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in
March 1995 under Texas law for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital
stock issued by First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Texarkana (the
"Association") in connection with the Association's conversion from a
federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a stock savings and
loan association (the "Conversion").  The Conversion was consummated on July
7, 1995 and, as a result, the Company became a unitary savings and loan
holding company for the Association.  Prior to the Conversion, the Company had
no material assets or liabilities and engaged in no business activity.
Subsequent to the acquisition of the Association, the Company has engaged in
no significant activity other than holding the stock of the Association and
engaging in certain passive investment activities.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ending September 30, 2000.  Earnings for the full fiscal year will be impacted
by various economic conditions.  The unaudited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 1999,
contained in the Company's annual report to stockholders.


Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Stock options outstanding are
included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share.  Shares
acquired by the ESOP are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Position 93-6 and are not included in the weighted-average shares outstanding
until the shares are committed to be released for allocation to ESOP
participants.

                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


General

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations is intended to
assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company.  The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-
earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  The
Company's results of operations also are affected by the provision for loan
losses, the level of its noninterest income and expenses, and income tax
expense.


Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The objective of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest margin
within an acceptable level of interest rate risk.

Net interest income is the primary component of net income and interest rate
risk is a significant exposure.  Interest rate risk can be defined as the
amount of forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to
favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates.

In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and
prolonged changes in interest rates on the Company's results of operations,
management has implemented and continues to monitor asset and liability
policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of rate-sensitive
assets and rate-sensitive liabilities.  Management also monitors and
evaluates, on a quarterly basis, the potential impact of interest rate changes
upon the Company's net portfolio value and net interest income.

The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon the
achievement of a positive interest rate margin that can be sustained during
fluctuations in prevailing interest rates.  Interest rate sensitivity is a
measure of the difference between amounts of rate-sensitive assets and rate-
sensitive liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of
time.  The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap", provides an
indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate margin will
be affected by changes in interest rates.  A gap is considered positive when
the amount of rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive
liabilities, and is considered negative when the amount of rate-sensitive
liabilities exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive assets.  During a period of
rising interest rates, a negative gap would cause a decrease in net interest
income, while a positive gap would cause an increase in net interest income.
During a period of declining interest rates, a negative gap would cause an
increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would cause a decrease
in net interest income.

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>
At March 31, 2000, the estimated one-year gap was a negative 92.0% and the
ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities maturing or
repricing within one year was 52.1%.

At March 31, 2000, assuming instantaneous interest rate changes sustained for
a twelve-month period, the following table presents the estimated percent of
change in the net portfolio value and net interest income for various changes
in interest rates (100 basis points equals 1%).  Estimates are based upon
numerous assumptions.  Actual sensitivity to interest rate changes could vary
significantly if actual experience differs from assumptions used in making the
calculations.  Net portfolio value is the difference between incoming and
outgoing discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
contracts, if any.

Changes in Financial Condition

General
The Company's assets increased $5.3 million (2.7%) to $206.5 million at March
31, 2000 from $201.1 million at September 30, 1999.  The increase was due
primarily to increases of $9.4 million (5.8%) in loans receivable, partially
offset by decreases of $4.1 million (12.5%) in investments and $.5 million
(15.2%) in cash and cash equivalents.  The Company's total liabilities
increased $4.3 million (2.5%) due primarily to an increase of $6.5 million
(37.1%) in borrowed funds, partially offset by decreases of $.9 million (.6%)
in deposits and $.9 million (42.1%) in borrowers' escrow balances (property
tax payments are made in the first two quarters of the fiscal year).

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and federal funds sold decreased $.5 million (15.2%) to $2.7 million at
March 31, 2000 from $3.2 million at September 30, 1999.  The decrease was due
primarily to a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

Investments
Investments decreased $4.1 million (12.5%) to $29.0 million at March 31, 2000
from $33.1 million at September 30, 1999.  Proceeds from maturing investments
were utilized to fund increases in loans.

Loans Receivable
Loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $9.4 million (5.8%) to
$170.6 million at March 31, 2000 from $161.2 million at September 30, 1999.
The increase in loans was the result of an increase of $7.9 million (5.5%) in
real estate loans and an increase of $1.5 million (8.6%) in commercial and
consumer loans.  The increase was due to additional loan demand, including
home equity loans, and the retention of fixed-rate mortgage loans.  In the six
months ended March 31, 2000, $31.0 million of loans were originated.  $11.8
million of single-family mortgage loans were originated and $182,000 were
sold.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets decreased $311,000 to $758,000 (.37% of total assets) at
March 31, 2000 compared to $1.1 million (.53% of total assets) at September
30, 1999.  At March 31, 2000, nonperforming loans were $587,000 (.34% of total
loans) compared to $1.1 million (.66% of total loans) at September 30, 1999.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had $171,000 of foreclosed real estate.  At
March 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was $979,000 (.57% of total
loans and 166.78% of nonperforming loans) compared to $995,000 (.62% of total
loans and 93.08% of nonperforming loans) at September 30, 1999.  Net charge-
offs were $13,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and $3,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.

Deposits
Deposits decreased $.9 million (.6%) to $153.1 million at March 31, 2000 from
$154.0 million at September 30, 1999.  The decrease in deposits was primarily
in savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

Borrowed Funds
Borrowings increased $6.5 million (37.1%) to $24.0 million at March 31, 2000
from $17.5 million at September 30, 1999.  Additional borrowings, from the
FHLB of Dallas, were primarily utilized to fund increases in loans.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity increased $1.0 million (3.9%) to $27.4 million at March
31, 2000 from $26.4 million at September 30, 1999, primarily the result of
retained earnings.  The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was
13.3% at March 31, 2000 compared to 13.1% at September 30, 1999.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Month and Six Month Periods
Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

General.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period ended
March 31, 1999, net income, earnings per share and return on average equity
were higher while return on average assets was lower.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period ended
March 31, 1999, earnings per share was higher while net income, return on
average equity and return on average assets were lower.

For the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2000, decreases in
average shares outstanding, resulting from the purchase of additional shares
of common stock to be held as treasury shares, contributed to the increase in
earnings per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period ended
March 31, 1999, total average earning assets (investments and loans) and total
average interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowed funds) were higher
and average rates on earning assets and interest bearing liabilities were
higher.  The yield on total average earning assets was 7.92% and 7.88%; the
rate on total average interest bearing liabilities was 5.00% and 4.92%; the
interest rate spread was 2.93% and 2.96%; and, the net interest margin was
3.64% and 3.65%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net income was $832,000 compared to
$792,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1999.  The increase of $40,000
(5.1%) in net income was due to an increase of $117,000 in net interest
income, partially offset by an increase of $72,000 in net noninterest expense
and an increase of $5,000 in income tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, basic earnings
per share was $.58 and $.52, respectively (diluted EPS of $.56 and $.50,
respectively).  Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.63% and 1.66%,
respectively, return on average equity (ROE) was 12.32% and 11.80%,
respectively, and the operating efficiency ratio was 38.6% and 39.2%,
respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, net income was $1,593,000 compared to
$1,613,000 for the same period ended March 31, 1999.  The decrease of $20,000
(1.2%) in net income was due to an increase of $225,000 in net noninterest
expense, partially offset by an increase of $197,000 in net interest income
and a decrease of $8,000 in income tax expense.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, basic earnings per
share was $1.10 and $1.06, respectively (diluted EPS of $1.07 and $1.02,
respectively).  Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.57% and 1.67%,

Net Interest Income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest income increased
$117,000 (6.9%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was due to
an increase of $276,000 (7.5%) in interest income, partially offset by an
increase of $159,000 (8.1%) in interest expense.  For the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the net interest
margin was 3.64% and 3.65%, respectively, and the net interest spread was
2.93% and 2.96%, respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, net interest income increased
$197,000 (5.8%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was due to
an increase of $365,000 (4.9%) in interest income, partially offset by an
increase of $168,000 (4.2%) in interest expense.  For the six month period of
fiscal 2000 compared to the same period of fiscal 1999, the net interest
margin was 3.63% and 3.62%, respectively, and the net interest spread was
2.91% and 2.93%, respectively.

Interest Income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, interest income increased $276,000
(7.5%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was the result of
higher average balances and higher rates.  Average earning assets increased to
$199.7 million from $188.2 million and the average yield increased to 7.92%
from 7.88%.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, interest income increased $365,000
(4.9%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was the result of
higher average balances partially offset by lower rates.  Average earning
assets increased to $197.9 million from $187.9 million and the average yield
declined to 7.85% from 7.90%.

Interest Expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, interest expense increased $159,000
(8.1%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was the result of
higher average balances and higher rates.  Average interest bearing
liabilities increased to $171.0 million from $162.2 million and the average
rate increased to 5.00% from 4.92%.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, interest expense increased $168,000
(4.2%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was the result of
higher average balances partially offset by lower rates.  Average interest
bearing liabilities increased to $169.2 million from $161.6 million and the
average rate declined to 4.94% from 4.97%.

Provision for Loan Losses.
No provisions were made for loan losses during the six months ended March 31,
2000.  No charge has been made to provision for loan losses since March 1995.
During this time, asset quality remained favorable with a ratio of
nonperforming loans to total loans of .34% at March 31, 2000, .66% at
September 30, 1999 and .51% at March 31, 1999.

At March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999, the balance of the allowance for
loan losses was $979,000 and $995,000, respectively.  The ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 166.78% and 93.08%,
respectively, and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans
was .57% and .62%, respectively.  Management believes that the current
allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon prior loss experience, the
volume and type of lending conducted by the Association, industry standards,
past due loans and the current economic conditions in the market area.

<PAGE>
Noninterest Income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, noninterest income decreased
$62,000 (22.5%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease was
primarily due to decreases of $36,000 in net gain on sale of loans and $27,000
in loan origination fees.  In the quarter ended March 31, 2000, $5.9 million
of single-family mortgage loans were originated and $182,000 were sold.  In
the quarter ended March 31, 1999, $7.8 million of single-family mortgage loans
were originated and $3.2 million were sold.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, noninterest income decreased $176,000
(28.6%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease was primarily due
to decreases of $110,000 in net gain on sale of loans and $75,000 in loan
origination fees, which were partially offset by an increase of $19,000 in
other noninterest income (primarily service charges).  In the six months ended
March 31, 2000, $11.8 million of single-family mortgage loans were originated
and $182,000 were sold.  In the six months ended March 31, 1999, $17.5 million
of single-family mortgage loans were originated and $7.3 million were sold.

Noninterest Expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, noninterest expense increased
$10,000 (1.3%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was
primarily due to an increase of $25,000 in other noninterest expense
(primarily data processing charges), partially offset by a decrease of $15,000
in SAIF deposit insurance premiums.

For the six months ended March 31, 2000, noninterest expense increased $49,000
(3.2%) compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase was primarily due to
increases of $57,000 in other non interest expense, partially offset by a
decrease of $14,000 in SAIF deposit insurance premiums.  The increase in other
noninterest expense was primarily increases in data processing charges,
professional fees and depreciation of originated mortgage servicing rights.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and the
shares of the Association's common stock.  The Company has no significant
liabilities.

The Association's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a
product of its operating, investing and financing activities.  The
Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments
and maturities of outstanding loans, sales of loans, maturities of investment
securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from
operations.  While scheduled loan amortization and maturing investment
securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of
funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Association manages
the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance.  In
addition, the Association invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other
short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements.  The Association generates cash through the retail deposit
market, its traditional funding source, to provide cash for lending and
investing activities.  As an additional source of funds, the Association may
borrow from the FHLB of Dallas and has utilized this source of funds with
borrowings of $24.0 million and $17.5 million at March 31, 2000 and September
30, 1999, respectively.

                                     Page 11
<PAGE>
All savings institutions are required to maintain an average daily balance of
liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum of its average daily
balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one
year or less.  The liquidity requirement may vary from time to time (between
4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all
savings institutions.   At the present time, the required minimum liquid asset
ratio is 4.0%.  At March 31, 2000, the Association's liquidity ratio was
16.3%.

The Company's and the Association's regulatory capital remains well in excess
of all applicable regulatory requirements.  At March 31, 2000, the Company's
tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were
13.59%, 22.16% and 22.65%, respectively, and the Association's tier 1
leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 13.18%,
21.50% and 22.00%, respectively, compared to regulatory "well capitalized"
requirements of 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.


Recent Legislation

A new financial modernization bill titled the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the
"Act") was signed into law in November 1999.  The Act repealed the Glass-
Steagall Act and allows banks, insurance companies and security firms to
affiliate through new financial holding companies.  A national bank may engage
in many new financial activities through a subsidiary.  It authorizes
operating subsidiaries to sell any financial product without geographic
limitation.  Activities not permitted in subsidiaries include insurance
underwriting, insurance company portfolio investing, real estate investment
and development, and merchant banking (merchant banking may be allowed in five
years if both the Fed and Treasury agree).  The subsidiary operation would be
available only to well-capitalized and well-managed banks.  The powers and
authorities of existing unitary thrift holding companies are grandfathered.
Sale of existing unitaries can be to financial companies only.  The Office of
Thrift Supervision can continue to grant unitary charters to financial
companies, but cannot grant charters to nonfinancial companies.  The Act
repealed the Savings Association Insurance Fund special reserve and allows the
FDIC to return nearly $1 billion to the SAIF general reserves.

The Act requires all financial institutions to disclose their privacy policies
to their customers at the time a relationship is created and then annually on
sharing customer information with affiliates and third parties.  Customers
must be notified that they may opt-out of sharing with nonaffiliated third
parties, with certain exceptions.  The Act extends the Community Reinvestment
Act compliance examination cycle for community banks (banks and thrifts with
less than $250 million in assets) to five years if they had an "outstanding"
rating and to four years if they had a "satisfactory" rating.

The Act also provides for modernization of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
Governance of the FHLBanks will be decentralized, allowing Bank directors to
elect their chairman and vice chairman, and membership in the FHLB becomes
voluntary for all members.

Under the Act, the Federal Reserve Board is the umbrella supervisor of
financial holding companies, and state and federal regulators will
functionally regulate insurance and securities affiliates.  The FDIC retains
full authority to allow state chartered banks to continue to engage in
grandfathered activities and to approve new activities that go beyond the
powers of national banks.


Recent Accounting Developments

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities".  This statement standardizes the
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts.  Entities are required to carry all
derivative instruments in the statement of financial position at fair value.
The accounting for changes in the fair value (that is, gains or losses) of a
derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies
as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it.
Initially, SFAS No. 133 was to be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 1999.  On July 7, 1999, FASB
issued SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" providing for a
one year deferral to fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2000 (the
Company's effective date of October 1, 2000).  Adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.


On December 30, 1999, the SEC adopted new rules and amendments, including the
requirement that independent auditors review the financial information
included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or 10-QSB prior to filing such
reports with the SEC.  Registrants must obtain reviews of interim financial
information starting with reports to be filed for fiscal quarters ending on or
after March 15, 2000.
