                                    PART I

ITEM.1    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

     Fort Bend Holding Corp. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation which was
organized in 1993 for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding
company of Fort Bend Federal Savings and Loan Association of Rosenberg ("Fort
Bend" or the "Association").  The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of
the Association issued on June 30, 1993 in connection with the completion of the
Association's conversion from the mutual to the stock form of organization (the
"Conversion").  The Association, which was originally organized in 1933,
amended its charter in June 1993 in connection with the Conversion to become a
federal stock savings and loan association. All references to the Company,
unless otherwise indicated, at or before June 30, 1993 refer to the Association.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the Association
or the Company include the Company and Association on a consolidated basis.  The
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), is quoted
on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "FBHC."

     The Company and the Association are subject to comprehensive regulation,
examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, Department of
the Treasury ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
The Association is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System and
its deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") to
the maximum extent permitted by law.

     The Company serves its primary market area, Fort Bend County, Texas and
portions of Harris, Montgomery, Waller, and Wharton Counties, Texas, through the
Association's five retail banking offices and the operations of Mitchell
Mortgage Company, L.L.C., a mortgage banking company in which the Association
acquired a majority interest in January 1997.  At March 31, 1998, the Company
had total assets of $316.6 million, deposits of $269.0 million and stockholders'
equity of $21.4  million.

     The Company has been, and intends to continue to be, a community-oriented
financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs
of the communities it serves.  The Company attracts deposits from the general
public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to
originate single family residential loans, construction loans, and commercial
real estate loans.  The Company also originates commercial loans and consumer
loans, including loans for the purchase of automobiles and home improvement
loans.  The Company also invests in mortgage-backed securities which are insured
by or guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") or the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or have an investment grade, and securities issued
by the U.S. government or agencies thereof.

     The Company's revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and
securities, loan fees and charges, loan servicing income, income from deposit
account service charges and gains on the sales of loans.  The Company's
operations may be materially affected by general economic

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
conditions, competition in the Company's market area, the monetary and fiscal
policies of the federal government and the policies of the various regulatory
authorities, including the OTS and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Company's results of operations are
largely dependent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between
the interest it receives on its loan and its investment securities portfolios
and the interest it pays on its deposit accounts and borrowings.

     The executive offices of the Company and the Association are located at
3400 Avenue H, Rosenberg, Texas 77471.  The telephone number at that address is
(281) 342-5571.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     When used in this Form 10-KSB or future filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely
result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate,"
"project," "believe" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional and
national economic conditions, changes in levels of market interest rates, credit
risks of lending activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could
affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual
results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or
projected.

     The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation,
to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the  year 2000.  This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business activities.

     The Company outsources its primary data processing functions.  To date, the
Company has solicited confirmations from its primary vendors that plans have
been developed by them to address and correct the issues associated with the
Year 2000.  The Company has established a management committee to identify all
of its functions potentially affected by the Year 2000 issue and to ensure that
re-programming and testing of the affected system will be substantially
completed by December 31, 1998, thus allowing adequate time for implementation.
Management

                                       3

believes that, with modifications to existing hardware and software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose a significant
operational problem for the Company. However, because most computer systems are,
by their very nature, interdependent, it is possible that non-compliant third
party computers could "reinfect" the Company's computer systems. The Company
could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 issue if it or unrelated parties
fail to successfully address this issue. It is currently estimated that the
Company will spend approximately $100,000 on the Year 2000 issue.

     Subsequent to year end, the OTS reviewed the Association's plan to address
the Year 2000 issue and found the Association's progress to date to be
satisfactory.

ACQUISITIONS

     MITCHELL MORTGAGE.  On January 2, 1997, the Association completed its
purchase of a 51% interest in the assets of Mitchell Mortgage Company ("Old
Mitchell"), a full-service mortgage banking affiliate of The Woodlands
Corporation.  The transaction was effected through the transfer of certain
assets of Old Mitchell to a newly incorporated limited liability company,
Mitchell Mortgage Company, L.L.C. ("Mitchell"), in which the Association
acquired a 51% interest in exchange for approximately $2.6 million in cash.  Old
Mitchell received the remaining 49% interest in Mitchell in exchange for certain
mortgage loans and its mortgage servicing portfolio and the liabilities of Old
Mitchell.

     In connection with the transaction, Old Mitchell (and The Woodlands Land
Development Company, L.P., as successor) was granted an option to convert, upon
the occurrence of certain events, its ownership interest in Mitchell into shares
of the common stock of the Company, at a rate of 82.304 shares for each $1,000
of ownership interest in Mitchell, in an amount not to exceed 9.9% of the
Company's outstanding common stock after conversion.  Any amount that would
otherwise be required to be issued exceeding 9.9% of the Company's outstanding
common stock will be paid in cash.  The option becomes exercisable on January 2,
1999 and expires on January 2, 2002.

     Mitchell, as did Old Mitchell, engages in the mortgage banking business,
including the origination and servicing of single family purchase loans, single
family construction loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans.
Old Mitchell was formed in 1974 and  had a mortgage banking relationship with
the Company for seven years prior to the purchase.  At March 31, 1998,
Mitchell's loan servicing portfolio was approximately $625.5 million, of which
$37.6 million was being serviced for the Association.

     FIRSTBANC SAVINGS.  On August 16, 1996, the Company completed its
acquisition of FirstBanc Savings Association of Texas ("FirstBanc"), a Texas-
chartered savings and loan association with one full service office, located in
Missouri City, Texas.  Upon consummation of the transaction, FirstBanc was
merged with and into the Association, with the Association as the surviving
entity.  As of August 16, 1996, FirstBanc reported unaudited total assets and
deposits of approximately $30.0 million and $26.8 million, respectively.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     GENERAL.  Since the mid 1980s, in order to reduce its exposure to changes
in interest rates, the Company has emphasized the origination and retention of
Adjustable Rate Mortgage ("ARM") loans and loans with shorter terms to maturity
than traditional 30-year, fixed-rate loans. Management's strategy has been to
increase the percentage of assets in the Company's portfolio with assets which
more frequently reprice or which have shorter maturities.  In response to strong
customer demand, however, the Company continues to originate conventional fixed-
rate mortgages generally for sale in the secondary market.

     The Company's primary focus in lending activities is on the origination of
loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family
residences, residential construction, land, commercial real estate and consumer
loans in its market area.  Mitchell engages in similar lending activities with
an emphasis on construction and multi-family lending.  At March 31, 1998, the
Company's net loan portfolio totaled $173.0 million.

     Loan applications are initially considered at various levels of authority,
depending on the type, amount and loan-to-value ratio of the loan.  Most single-
family residential mortgage loans underwritten to FHLMC or FNMA guidelines are
approved by the Company's chief loan underwriter, then reviewed by the loan and
appraisal review committee.  All other portfolio mortgage real estate loan
commitments generally must be approved by a majority vote of the members of the
Company's loan and appraisal review committee.  Other loans up to $600,000 with
confirmed take out commitments may be approved by an underwriter of the Company.
The members of the Company's loan and appraisal review committee include
Chairman of the Board Robert W. Lindsey, Vice Chairman of the Board and
President Lane Ward, Director Wayne O. Poldrack, Executive Vice President David
D. Rinehart, Senior Vice President Larry J. Dobrava, and Vice President Duane
Boenig.  The members of the Mitchell loan committee and appraisal review
committee include Chairman of the Board Lane Ward, Director William A. Little
and President Dale Andreas. Generally, unsecured consumer loans and consumer
loans secured by assets other than real estate in amounts less than $5,000 and
$30,000, respectively, are approved by the reviewing loan officer. Loans in
excess of these amounts generally require the additional approval of either one
or two members of the Company's loan and appraisal review committee.

     All of the Company's lending is subject to its written underwriting
standards and to loan origination procedures.  Decisions on loan applications
are made on the basis of detailed applications and property valuations
(consistent with the Company's written appraisal policy) by independent
appraisers (generally with respect to loans in excess of $250,000) or by the
Company's staff appraiser. The loan applications are designed primarily to
determine the borrower's ability to repay, and are verified through use of
credit reports, financial statements, tax returns and/or confirmations.

     An appraisal of the security property is obtained on all loans secured by
real property from Board-approved independent fee appraisers or the Company's
staff appraiser.   The Company requires evidence of marketable title and lien
position as well as appropriate title insurance on all loans secured by real
property, and requires fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts
at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements
on the property, depending on the type of loan.  The Company may also require
flood insurance to protect the property securing its interest.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     The aggregate amount of loans that the Company is permitted to make under
applicable federal regulations to any one borrower, including related entities,
is limited generally to the greater of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus or
$500,000.  See "Regulation - Federal Regulation of Savings Associations."  At
March 31, 1998, the maximum amount which the Company could lend to any one
borrower and the borrower's related entities was approximately $3.6 million.  At
March 31, 1998, the principal balance of the largest amount outstanding to any
one borrower, or group of related borrowers, was approximately $3.0 million.

     As of March 31, 1998, the total amount of loans due after March 31, 1999
which had fixed interest rates was $78.1 million while the total amount of loans
due after such date which had floating or adjustable interest rates was $53.5
million.

     ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LENDING.  Residential loan
originations are generated by the Company's marketing efforts, its present
customers, walk-in customers and referrals from real estate brokers and
builders.  The Company has focused its lending efforts primarily on the
origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family
residences in its market area.  The Association uses the table funding method to
close a substantial portion of its single family loans.  This method requires
that, prior to the closing, the Association prepare and send checks along with
any closing documents and instructions to the title company.  Once the title
company has all the required documents it arranges for the closing and, upon
completion of the closing, returns the executed documents to the Association and
disburses the checks to the appropriate parties.  The closing normally occurs at
the offices of the title company and the title company has sole discretion for
the timing of the closing.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's one-to four-family
residential mortgage loans, excluding mortgage-backed securities, totaled $77.9
million, or 36.8% of the Company's loan portfolio before net items,
substantially all of which are conventional loans secured by properties located
in the Company's primary market area.  At March 31, 1998, $6.6 million of these
residential mortgage loans were held for sale and carried at the lower of cost
or market.

     The Company's fixed-rate loans conform to secondary market standards (i.e.,
FHLMC and FNMA standards) and, since 1990, have been primarily originated for
sale in the secondary market. Most of the Company's fixed-rate residential loans
have contractual terms to maturity of 30 years. As a part of its asset/liability
management strategy, the Company also originates 15-year, fully amortizing
loans. Interest rates charged on these fixed-rate loans are competitively priced
according to market conditions.

     The Company has offered ARM loans at rates, terms and fees determined in
accordance with market and competitive factors.  The programs currently offered
primarily meet the standards and requirements of the secondary market for
residential loans.  The Company's current one- to four-family residential ARMs
are fully amortizing loans with contractual maturities of up to 30 years.   The
interest rates on the ARMs originated by Fort Bend are subject to adjustment at
stated intervals and are subject to annual and lifetime adjustment limits below
and above the initial rate.  Most of the Company's ARMs have interest rates
which adjust annually, although the Company offers ARM loans with initial
adjustments occurring after a three or five year period.  Adjustments are based
on a margin generally over the one-year U.S. Treasury Security Constant Maturity
Index.  These loans' annual and lifetime caps on interest rate increases reduce
the extent to which they can protect the Company against interest rate risk.
The Company has from time to time offered ARMs at below the fully-indexed rate;
however, borrowers of adjustable-rate loans are qualified at the lower of the
maximum first year adjustment or fully-indexed rates.  Certain of the Company's
ARMs by their terms may permit convertibility into fixed-rate loans.

     The Company retains ARMs in its portfolio consistent with its ongoing
asset/liability objectives.  ARM loans decrease the risks associated with
changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest
rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the
terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.  At the same
time, the

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher
interest rates. The Company believes that these risks, which have not had a
material adverse effect on the Company to date, generally are less than the
risks associated with holding fixed-rate loans in an increasing interest rate
environment. In this regard, the Company's delinquency experience on its ARMs
has generally been similar to its experience on fixed-rate residential loans.

     The Company evaluates both the borrower's ability to make principal,
interest and escrow payments and the value of the property that will secure the
loan.  Fort Bend originates residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios
up to 95%.  On any mortgage loan exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio at the
time of origination, Fort Bend generally will require private mortgage insurance
in an amount intended to reduce the Company's exposure to 80% or less of the
appraised value of the underlying property.

     The Company's general loan policy is to limit residential mortgage loans to
the FHLMC and FNMA maximum, currently $227,150.  As of March 31, 1998, the
Company had 52 residential mortgage loans with original balances in excess of
$227,150 ("jumbo loans") having an aggregate balance of $15.4 million.  The
Company's delinquency experience on its jumbo residential loans has been similar
to its experience on its other residential loans.

     The Company's residential mortgage loans have customarily included a due-
on-sale clause giving the Company the right to declare the loan immediately due
and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or
otherwise disposes of the property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not
repaid.  The Company has generally enforced due-on-sale clauses in its mortgage
contracts for the purpose of increasing its loan portfolio yield.  The yield
increase is obtained through the authorization of assumptions of existing loans
at higher rates of interest, assuming the current rates are higher than the
existing note rate, and the imposition of assumption fees.  ARM loans may be
assumed provided home buyers meet the Company's underwriting standards and the
applicable fees are paid.

     MULTI-FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING.  At March 31, 1998, the
Company had $9.0 million and $7.3 million in multi-family and commercial real
estate loans, respectively, representing 4.3% and 3.4%, respectively, of the
Company's loan portfolio before net items.  The Company's multi-family and
commercial real estate loan portfolio includes loans secured by apartment
buildings, office buildings, retail stores and other properties located in the
Company's primary market area.  At March 31, 1998, most of the Company's multi-
family and commercial real estate loan portfolio was seasoned.  Since 1990, the
Company had no significant originations of such loans for portfolio, except for
loans to facilitate the sale of real estate owned secured by property located in
the Company's market area.

     The Board of Directors revised the Company's loan policy in fiscal 1996 to
permit the origination of new commercial real estate loans in individual amounts
of up to $1.0 million with the approval of the Company's loan and appraisal
review committee.  Commercial real estate loans in excess of $1.0 million must
be approved by the Board of Directors.  During fiscal 1998, the Company
originated 10 multi-family real estate loans totaling $33.3 million with an
original principal balance in excess of $1.0 million.  Any loan originated with
an original principal balance in excess of the maximum amount that the Company
could lend to one borrower was participated at least to the

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
extent necessary to comply with federal regulations. Seven of these loans, with
an aggregate original principal balance of $27.0 million, were sold during the
period and the remaining three loans were held for sale at March 31, 1998.

     The Company also acts as a broker in the origination of multi-family and
commercial real estate loans.  During fiscal 1998, the Company brokered 12
multi-family real estate loans with an original principal balance of $43.7
million and 11 commercial real estate loans with an original principal balance
of $37.6 million.  The Company generally collects an origination fee in the
amount of 1% of the original principal balance of brokered loans.  However, the
actual fees charged on each loan are negotiated on a case by case basis.

     The Company intends to originate a limited amount of multi-family and
commercial real estate loans in the future for its loan portfolio, subject to
regulatory restrictions; however, through Mitchell, the Company expects to
originate a significant amount of multi-family loans for resale in the secondary
market and may also broker loans to third party lenders.  During fiscal 1998,
Mitchell originated $30.0 million in multi-family loans.  One of these loans,
with an original principal balance of $75,000, was originated for portfolio.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally are originated in
amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.
Commercial and multi-family loans are made at both fixed and adjustable interest
rates for terms of up to 25 years.  Currently, the other terms of multi-family
and commercial real estate loans are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

     Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate
loans originated by the Company are performed by either an independent appraiser
or, subject to regulatory guidelines, the Company's staff appraiser.  All
appraisals on multi-family and commercial real estate loans are reviewed by the
Company's management and staff appraiser.  In addition, the Company's
underwriting procedures generally require verification of the borrower's credit
history, income and financial statements, banking relationships, references and
income projections for the property. Personal guarantees are generally obtained
for the multi-family and commercial real estate loans originated for portfolio.

     The Company's largest multi-family and commercial real estate loans at
March 31, 1998 were $3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At such date, the
Company had three other large loans with a book value in excess of $1.0 million
which had an aggregate principal balance of $4.5 million. Each of these loans
was secured by multi-family residential properties.  At March 31, 1998, these
loans were current and not classified.

     Multi-family and commercial real estate lending affords the Company an
opportunity to receive interest at rates higher than those generally available
from one- to four-family residential lending.  Nevertheless, loans secured by
such properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than
one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Because payments on loans
secured by multi-family and commercial real estate properties are often
dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment
of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or
the economy.  If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if
leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan
may be impaired.  In addition, adjustable-rate multi-family and commercial real
estate loans are subject to

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
increased risk of delinquency or default as interest rates increase. The Company
has attempted to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards and by
lending primarily on existing income-producing properties.

     The Company also maintains an escrow account for most of its loans secured
by real estate (as well as for loans serviced for others), in order to ensure
that the borrower provides funds to cover property taxes in advance of the
required payment.  These accounts are analyzed annually to confirm that adequate
funds are available.  For loans which do not include an escrow requirement, an
annual review of tax payments is performed by the Company in order to confirm
payment.  In order to monitor the adequacy of cash flows on income-producing
properties, the borrower or lead lender is notified periodically and asked to
provide financial information including rental rates and income, maintenance
costs and an update of real estate property tax payments.

     CONSTRUCTION LENDING.  The Company originates and purchases participations
in loans to finance the construction of single-family residences.  Many of these
loans are made to individuals who will ultimately be the owner-occupier of the
residence.  Such loans are generally made with permanent financing on the
constructed property to be provided by the Company, although that is not a
requirement.  Construction loans are generally made with up to a nine-month term
on an adjustable-rate, interest-only basis.  During fiscal 1997 and prior to the
acquisition of Mitchell, the Company purchased $8.3 million of construction
loans and participations in construction loans secured by single-family
residential properties from Old Mitchell.  The participations comply with Fort
Bend's underwriting guidelines, including the loan draw procedures, and
generally are reviewed prior to purchase on an individual basis.  As of March
31, 1998, the Company had $123,000 of such loans outstanding.

     The Company's construction loan portfolio has increased substantially as a
result of the purchases of Mitchell and, to a lesser extent, FirstBanc in fiscal
1997.  As of March 31, 1998 and 1997, Mitchell had $44.2 million and $26.7
million, respectively, of such loans outstanding. FirstBanc initially
contributed $12.2 million of construction loans to the Company's loan portfolio.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had loans to finance the construction of
single-family residences totaling $69.7 million, or 32.9% of the Company's loan
portfolio before net items, of which approximately $64.4 million were loans to
61 different builders.  The Company's policy is to generally limit loans to any
builder to a maximum of $3.6 million.  The Company generally limits the amount
of speculative loans to any one builder to 50 percent of the total loan
commitment.  Of the Company's total construction loans at March 31, 1998, $5.4
million were to borrowers who represented that they intended to live in the
properties upon completion of construction.   Residential construction loans to
owner-occupants are generally underwritten using the same criteria as for one-to
four-family residential loans.  Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as
construction progresses and inspections warrant.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had loans to finance the construction of
multi-family and commercial real estate totaling $1.8 million and $233,000,
respectively, representing 0.85% and 0.11%, respectively, of the Company's loan
portfolio before net items. Multi-family and commercial construction loans are
generally underwritten using the same criteria as for multi-family and

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
commercial real estate loans.  Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as
construction progresses and inspections warrant.

     Construction loans afford the Company the opportunity to charge loan
origination fees, to increase the frequency of repricing of its loan portfolio
and to earn yields higher than those obtainable on loans secured by existing
one- to four-family residential properties.  The higher yields reflect the
higher risks associated with construction lending, which include principally the
difficulty in evaluating accurately the total funds required to complete a
project and the post-completion value of the project.  As a result, the Company
places a strong emphasis upon the borrower's ability to repay and the experience
and expertise of the builder who has contracted to construct the property.

     LAND AND LAND DEVELOPMENT LENDING.  The Company originates and purchases
participations in loans to finance the acquisition and development of land.  At
March 31, 1998, the Company had $13.8 million in land and land development
loans, representing 6.5% of the Company's loan portfolio before net items.  Land
and land development loans include loans on building lots and sites for the
borrower's principal residence and loans on lots and sites intended for other
development by the borrower.  Land and development loans originated for
commercial purposes totaled approximately $3.4 million at March 31, 1998.  The
remaining land and land development loans were lot loans primarily originated to
acquire land for the borrower's principal residence.

     Land acquisition loans on building lots and sites for the borrower's
principal residence generally are originated in amounts up to 90% of the
appraised value of the property securing the loan.  These loans are made at both
fixed and adjustable interest rates for terms of up to 15 years. Land
acquisition and development loans on building lots and sites for other than a
borrower's principal residence are generally originated in amounts up to 80% of
the appraised value of the property securing the loan.  These land acquisition
and development loans are made at both fixed and adjustable rates for terms of
up to three and eight years, respectively.  The Company intends to originate a
limited amount of land and land development loans in the future for its loan
portfolio for other than a borrower's principal residence, subject to regulatory
restrictions.

     Appraisals on properties securing land and land development loans
originated by the Company are performed by either an independent appraiser or,
subject to regulatory guidelines, the Company's staff appraiser.  All appraisals
on land and land development loans are reviewed by the Company's management and
staff appraiser.  In addition, the Company's underwriting procedures generally
require verification of the borrower's credit history, income and financial
statements, banking relationships, and references.

     The Company also maintains an escrow account for most of its loans secured
by real estate in order to ensure that the borrower provides funds to cover
property taxes in advance of the required payment.  These accounts are analyzed
annually to confirm that adequate funds are available.  For loans which do not
include an escrow requirement, an annual review of tax payments is performed by
the Company in order to confirm payment.

     CONSUMER AND OTHER LENDING.  Management considers consumer and other
lending to be an important component of its strategic plan.  These loans
generally have shorter terms to maturity (thus reducing the Company's exposure
to changes in interest rates) and carry higher rates of interest

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. In addition, management
believes that the offering of consumer and other loan products helps to expand
and create stronger ties to its existing customer base by increasing the number
of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities. At March
31, 1998, the Company's consumer and other loan portfolio totaled $32.3 million,
or 15.2% of its loan portfolio before net items.

     The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home
improvement loans, auto loans and loans secured by savings deposits.  In
addition to consumer loans made to individuals, the Company offers secured non-
real estate commercial loans and lines of credit.  The Company also offers a
limited amount of unsecured loans.  The Company currently originates all of its
consumer and other non-real estate commercial loans in its market area.  The
Company's home improvement loans comprised approximately 16.2% of the Company's
total consumer and other loan portfolio at March 31, 1998. These loans are
generally originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first
mortgage, of up to 90% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.
The term to maturity on such loans may be up to 15 years.  Other consumer and
commercial non-real estate loan terms vary according to the type of collateral,
length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower.  The Company's consumer
and other loans generally have fixed rates of interest.  The Company does not
currently originate any consumer loans on an indirect basis (i.e., where loan
contracts are purchased from retailers of goods or services which have extended
credit to their customers).

     The Company's commercial non-real estate  loans totaled approximately $4.7
million, or 14.7% of the Company's total consumer and other loan portfolio at
March 31, 1998.  During fiscal 1998, the Company purchased a participation in
one large commercial non-real estate loan with an original principal balance of
$3.25 million.  This purchase complied with the Company's underwriting
guidelines and was reviewed prior to the purchase on an individual basis.  This
loan is secured by the assignment of fees payable to the borrower under certain
utility contracts.  This loan had a principal outstanding balance of $2.9
million at March 31, 1998.  No other consumer and other loan had a principal
balance in excess of $1.0 million at March 31, 1998.

     The underwriting standards employed by the Company for consumer and other
loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts
and an assessment of the ability to meet existing obligations and payments on
the proposed loan.  Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary
consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value
of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.

     Consumer and other loans may entail greater risk than do residential
mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans which are unsecured, or
secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles.  In such cases, any
repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate
source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater
likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.  In addition, loan collections are
dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more
likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.  Furthermore, the
application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.
Although the level of delinquencies in the Company's consumer and other loan
portfolio generally has been low (at March 31, 1998, $405,000, or approximately
1.26% of the consumer and other loan portfolio, was

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
60 days or more delinquent), there can be no assurance that delinquencies will
not increase in the future.
 
     MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.  The Company has a substantial portfolio of
mortgage-backed securities and utilizes the portfolio as collateral for
borrowings when required to fund heavy loan demand.  At March 31, 1998,
mortgage-backed securities totaled $83.1 million, including $282,000 available
for sale and carried at market value.  At that date, mortgage-backed securities
represented 26.2% of the Company's total assets.  For information regarding the
carrying and market values of the Company's mortgage-backed securities
portfolio, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in Part II, Item 7.

     Historically, most of the Company's mortgage-backed securities were long-
term, fixed-rate federal agency securities.  In recent years, the Company has
purchased other types of mortgage-backed securities consistent with its
asset/liability management and balance sheet objectives.  In this regard, the
Company emphasizes the purchase of adjustable-rate or short or intermediate
term fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities for asset/liability management
purposes and to supplement the Company's origination of ARM loans. At March 31,
1998, $45.6 million, or 54.9% of the Company's mortgage-backed securities
carried adjustable rates of interest. The Company also has pooled fixed-rate
loans in its existing loan portfolio to create mortgage-backed securities. At
March 31, 1998, $7.1 million, or 8.5%, of the Company's mortgage-backed
securities were secured by loans originated by the Company.

     The Company also has purchased adjustable-rate or short and intermediate
term fixed-rate CMOs and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs")
having estimated average lives of five years (ten years with respect to
adjustable-rate CMOs and REMICs).  CMOs and REMICs are securities derived by
reallocating cash flows from mortgage pass-through securities or from pools of
mortgage loans.  These securities are subjected to annual tests required by the
Company's regulatory authority and applied to determine if any of the CMOs or
REMICs are "high risk."  At March 31, 1998, none of the Company's securities
failed the annual test and none were considered "high risk."  The CMOs and
REMICs acquired by the Company are not interest-only, principal-only or residual
interests.  At March 31, 1998, the book value of these securities was $34.9
million.

     Under the OTS' risk-based capital requirements, GNMA mortgage-backed
securities have a zero percent risk-weighting and FNMA, FHLMC and AA- or higher
rated mortgage-backed securities have a 20% risk-weighting, in contrast to the
50% risk-weighting carried by performing one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans.  None of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company had
a risk-weight for regulatory capital purposes above 20%. All of the Company's
mortgage-backed securities are backed by FHLMC, GNMA or FNMA, or rated AA or
higher. Accordingly, management believes that the Company's mortgage-backed
securities generally are resistant to credit problems.

     The following table sets forth the carrying values and contractual
maturities of the Company's mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at March
31, 1998.

ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES AND SALES OF LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

     As described previously, the Company originates real estate loans through
marketing efforts, the Company's customer base, walk-in customers, and referrals
from real estate brokers and builders. The Company originates both adjustable-
rate and fixed-rate loans.  Its ability to originate loans is dependent upon the
relative customer demand for fixed-rate or ARM loans in the origination market,
which is affected by the term structure of interest rates (short-term compared
to long-term) as well as the current and expected future level of interest
rates.

     The Company purchased $1.5 million of land loans and $3.3 million of non-
real estate commercial loans  during fiscal 1998, and management may consider
making additional purchases in the future depending upon market conditions.  At
March 31, 1998, the Company had no commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-
backed securities from its held to maturity portfolio.  At March 31, 1998, the
Company had an option to sell $3.0 million of fixed rate mortgage-backed
securities under its hedging program for loans available for sale.  At that same
date, the Company had loan commitments of approximately $13.9 million and
forward commitments to sell loans of $8.9 million. At March 31, 1998, the
Company had $12.9 million of loans held for sale.

     The Company generally sells its long-term, fixed-rate loan originations.
When loans are sold, the Company generally retains the responsibility for
servicing such loans.  The Company had $898.9 million in loans serviced for
others as of March 31, 1998, and $384,000 in loans serviced by others at that
date.

ASSET QUALITY

     The Company's loans delinquent 60 days or more increased from .50% of total
loans at March 31, 1997 to .55% at March 31, 1998.  When a borrower fails to
make a required payment on a loan, the Company attempts to cause the delinquency
to be cured by contacting the borrower.  In the case of residential loans, a
late notice is sent 16 days after the due date.  If the delinquency is not cured
within 30 days, contact with the borrower is made by phone or a letter is sent.
Additional written and verbal contacts are made with the borrower between 35 and
70 days after the due date.

     In the event a real estate loan payment is past due for 45 days or more,
the Company generally performs an in-depth review of the loan status, the
condition of the property and the circumstances of the borrower.  Based upon the
results of its review, the Company may negotiate and accept a repayment program
with the borrower, accept a voluntary deed in lieu of foreclosure or, when
deemed necessary, initiate foreclosure proceedings.  If foreclosed on, real
property is sold at a public sale and the Company may bid on the property to
protect its interest.  A decision as to whether and when to initiate foreclosure
proceedings is based on such factors as the amount of the outstanding loan in
relation to the original indebtedness, the extent of delinquency and the
borrower's ability and willingness to cooperate in curing delinquencies.

     Delinquent consumer loans are handled in a generally similar manner, except
that initial contacts are made when the payment is 10 days past due and
telephone contact begins when a loan is 30 days past due.  If these efforts fail
to bring the loan current, appropriate action may be taken to collect any loan
payment that remains delinquent.  The Company's procedures for repossession and
sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under Texas
consumer protection laws.

     Loans are placed on non-accrual status after 90 days delinquency.  When a
loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company's general policy is to reverse
and charge against current income previously accrued but unpaid interest.
Interest income on such loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that
cash is received and future collection of principal is deemed by management to
be probable.

     For the year ended March 31, 1998 gross interest income which would have
been recorded had the non-accruing loans and troubled-debt restructurings been
current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $108,000. The amount
that was included in interest income on such loans was $81,000 for the year
ended March 31, 1998.

     NON-ACCRUING LOANS. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $529,000 of non-
accruing loans.  Of this balance, $340,000 is secured by single family
residential real estate.  The remainder consisted of $186,000 in consumer loans,
primarily secured by automobiles, and $3,000 in land loans. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation -- Asset Quality," filed as Part
II, Item 6.

     TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS.  As of March 31, 1998 the Association had two
loans with a net book value of $547,000 classified as a troubled debt
restructuring.  These loans are secured by commercial properties located in
Houston, Texas and Rosenberg, Texas.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation -- Asset Quality," contained in Part II, Item 6.

     FORECLOSED ASSETS.  As of March 31, 1998, the Association had net book
value of $97,000 in foreclosed assets, which consisted of one single-family
residence, a 5% participation held by Mitchell in 33 residential lots and three
repossessed automobiles.  Three of the Mitchell residential lots are under
contract for sale.  Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the single-family residence
was sold at a price in excess of the net book value.   See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation -- Asset Quality," contained in
Part II, Item 6.

     CLASSIFIED ASSETS.  Federal regulations provide for the classification of
loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the OTS
to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss."  An asset is
considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net
worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
"Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility"
that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are
not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses
inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that
the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and
improbable."  Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible"
and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the
establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Management also
classifies as "special mention" assets which do not currently expose the insured
institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the
aforementioned categories but nonetheless possess certain weaknesses.

     When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard
or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount
deemed prudent by management.  General allowances represent loss allowances
which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with
lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been
allocated to particular problem assets.  When an insured institution classifies
problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific
allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or
to charge-off such amount.  An institution's determination as to the
classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is
subject to review by the regulatory authorities, which may order the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

     In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the OTS and in
accordance with its classification of assets policy, the Company regularly
reviews the problem loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans
require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Classified
assets of the Company at March 31, 1998 were as follows:

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's quarterly asset
classification review and  evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio
and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity.  Such evaluation,
which includes a review by management of all loans of which full collectibility
may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, cash flow analyses,
historical loan loss experience, discussions held with delinquent borrowers and
other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan
allowance.  Although management believes it uses the best information available
to make such determinations, future adjustments to reserves may be necessary,
and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.
The Company's quarterly asset classification review determines which loans to
charge-off.  At March 31, 1998, management believed the Company's allowance for
loan losses of $1.6 million to be adequate.

     There are no agreements or understandings with the regulators to provide
additions to the allowance for loan losses nor were additional loss provisions
required as a result of their examination of the Association as of March 31,
1998. Recoveries on charge-offs are limited because the Company generally
recognizes recoveries as a gain on the sale of foreclosed assets.  Net gains on
sales of foreclosed assets totaled $46,000, $212,000 and $80,000 for the years
ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Gains on sale of foreclosed
assets have generally been limited because the number of foreclosed assets sold
has declined and because such sales were generally made at approximately
carrying value, which approximated market value.  Net loan charge-offs decreased
from $708,000 in fiscal 1997 to $205,000 in fiscal 1998.  The decrease in
charge-offs in fiscal 1998 was attributable to a declining level of problem
assets.

     The Company defines a loan as impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The
Company uses the same criteria in placing a loan on nonaccrual status, exclusive
of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans which are placed on nonaccrual
status when they become 90 days past due.  When interest accrual is
discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Interest income is
subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.  At March
31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had impaired loans totaling approximately
$658,000 and $807,000, respectively, with $111,000 related allowance for loan
losses at March 31, 1998 and no related allowance for loan losses at March 31,
1997.  See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Part II, Item 7.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

     Fort Bend must maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as
liquid assets under OTS regulations.  Liquidity may increase or decrease
depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments
in relation to the return on loans.  Historically, the Association has
maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by the
OTS regulations and at levels believed adequate to meet the requirements of
normal operations, including repayments of maturing debt and potential deposit
outflows.  Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure
that adequate liquidity is maintained.  At March 31, 1998, the Association's
liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings
deposits and current borrowings) was 12.24%.

     Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in
various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations,
securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase
agreements and federal funds.  Subject to various restrictions, federally
chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in commercial paper,
investment grade corporate debt securities and mutual funds the assets of which
conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is
otherwise authorized to make directly.

     Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among
various categories of investments and maturities based upon the Company's
asset/liability management policies, investment quality and marketability,
liquidity needs and performance objectives.  It is the Company's general policy
to purchase investment securities which are U.S. Government securities and
federal agency obligations and other issues that are rated investment grade or
have credit enhancements.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company's interest-bearing deposits with banks
totaled $20.8 million, or 6.6% of total assets, and its investment securities
totaled $12.2 million, or 3.9% of total assets.  As of such date, the Company
also had a $1.5 million investment in FHLB stock, satisfying its requirement for
membership in the FHLB of Dallas.  At March 31, 1998, the average term to
maturity or repricing of the investment securities portfolio was 0.61 years.

     The Company's investment securities portfolio at March 31, 1998 contained
neither tax-exempt securities nor securities of any issuer with an aggregate
book value in excess of 10% of the Company's retained earnings, excluding
securities issued by the United States government, or its agencies.  The
Company's investment securities portfolio is managed in accordance with a
written investment policy adopted by the Board of Directors.  Investments may be
made by the Company's Investment Committee.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

     GENERAL.  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization
and prepayment of loan principal (including mortgage-backed securities), sales
or maturities of loans, maturities of investment securities, mortgage-backed
securities and short-term investments, borrowings and funds provided from
operations.

     Borrowings, predominantly from the FHLB of Dallas, may be used on a short-
term basis to compensate for seasonal reductions in deposits or deposit inflows
at less than projected levels, and may be used in the future on a longer-term
basis to support lending and investing activities.  FHLB borrowings are
collateralized through pledges of loans and other assets.

     DEPOSITS.  The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide
range of interest rates and terms.  The Company's deposits consist of passbook,
statement savings, NOW accounts and money market and certificate accounts.  The
Company relies primarily on advertising, competitive pricing policies and
customer service to attract and retain these deposits.  The Company solicits
deposits from its primary market area only, and does not use brokers to obtain
deposits.

     The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic
conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and
competition.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, total

                                       27

deposits increased by $18.8 million. The Company manages the pricing of its
deposits in keeping with its asset/liability management and profitability
objectives.

     Based on its experience, the Company believes that its passbook, statement
savings, NOW and non-interest-bearing checking accounts are relatively stable
sources of deposits.  However, the ability of the Company to attract and
maintain certificates of deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been
and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

     The following table sets forth the dollar amount of savings deposits in the
various types of deposit programs offered by the Company at the dates indicated.

/(1)/  Certificates of deposit from governmental and other public entities.

     From time to time the Company has had varying amounts of public funds.  The
largest amount of public funds held by the Company since 1990 was $418,000.  The
Company is required to pledge collateral against such funds equal to 110% of
such funds. For additional information regarding the composition of the
Company's deposits, see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in Part II, Item 7.
 
     BORROWINGS.  Although deposits are the Company's primary source of funds,
the Company's policy has been to utilize borrowings when there is a net outflow
of deposits, when advances are a less costly source of funds or when funds from
advances can be invested at a positive spread.  In addition, the Company has
relied upon selected borrowings for short-term liquidity needs.

     The Company may obtain advances from the FHLB of Dallas upon the security
of its capital stock of the FHLB of Dallas and certain of its mortgage loans,
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.  Such advances may be made
pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own
interest rate and range of maturities.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had $3.9
million in FHLB borrowings outstanding and the ability to borrow up to an
additional $149 million.

     In December 1995, the Company issued $12.1 million of 8% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due December 1, 2005 (the "Debentures").  The Debentures
are redeemable, in whole or in part, as of December 1, 1998, are convertible at
any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed, into Common Stock of the
Company at a conversion rate of 92.592 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000
principal amount of Debentures (subject to adjustment in certain events), have
no sinking fund and are unsecured general obligations of the Company. The
Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. As of March 31,
1998, $695,000 in Debentures had been converted into 64,334 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in Part II, Item 7.

SUBSIDIARY AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

     As a federally chartered savings and loan association, Fort Bend is
permitted by OTS regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets, or $6.3 million
at March 31, 1998, in the stock of, or in unsecured loans to, service
corporation subsidiaries.  As of such date, the net book value of Fort Bend's
investment in and unsecured loans to its service corporations was $263,000.
Fort Bend may invest an additional 1% of its assets in service corporations
where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community development
purposes.

     One of Fort Bend's active wholly owned subsidiaries, Fairview, Inc.
("Fairview"), is engaged in the sale of developed lots, lending, and providing
appraisal and other real estate related services. Fairview has developed
Cambridge Village, a single-family residential development located in Rosenberg,
Texas, consisting of 235 developed residential lots and eight acres of
additional land.  At March 31, 1998, only one residential lot remained unsold.
At March 31, 1998, Fort Bend's

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
investment in Fairview was $263,000, of which $10,000 was classified as
substandard due to the slower than expected sale of the remaining property.

     Fairview recognized net income of $48,000, $155,000 and $48,000 for the
fiscal years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. As required by
federal law, the Association has been deducting its investment in Fairview from
capital, over a six-year period beginning July 1, 1990, for purposes of
determining the Association's capital requirements.  See "- Regulation -
Regulatory Capital Requirements."

     Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company, through
Fairview, began to offer its customers and members of the general public various
financial services in the form of mutual funds, annuity and brokerage services
through a third-party registered broker-dealer.

     The Association also leases space in its Rosenberg branch to an insurance
agency and provides financial and related services to the agency.  The
Association primarily provides accounting, administrative and other ministerial
support to the insurance agency.  Revenues received from such services totaled
$197,000, $358,000 and $78,000 for the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

     As noted elsewhere in this Report, on January 2, 1997, the Association
acquired a 51% interest in Mitchell Mortgage Company, L.L.C., which is engaged
in the mortgage banking business. See "-- Acquisitions--Mitchell Mortgage."
Mitchell was formed for the purpose of engaging in the mortgage banking
business, including the origination and servicing of single family purchase
loans, single family construction loans and commercial and multi-family real
estate loans.  Mitchell Mortgage Company had a loan servicing portfolio of
approximately $588 million and a loan portfolio of approximately $44.5 million
as of March 31, 1998.


                                   REGULATION

GENERAL

     Fort Bend is a federally chartered savings and loan association, the
deposits of which are federally insured and backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States government. Accordingly, Fort Bend is subject to broad
federal regulation and oversight extending to all of its operations.  The
Association is a member of the FHLB of Dallas and is subject to certain limited
regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.  As the savings and loan holding
company of Fort Bend, the Company also is subject to federal regulation and
oversight.  The purpose of the regulation of the Company and other holding
companies is to protect subsidiary savings associations.  The Association is a
member of the SAIF and the deposits of the Association are insured by the FDIC.
As a result, the FDIC has certain regulatory and examination authority over the
Association.

     Certain of these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed
below or elsewhere in this document.

FEDERAL REGULATION OF SAVINGS ASSOCIATIONS

     The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings
associations.  As part of this authority, Fort Bend is required to file periodic

                                       32
<PAGE>
 
reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the
FDIC.  The last regular OTS and FDIC examinations of the Association were as of
March 31, 1998 and January 31, 1992, respectively.  When these examinations are
conducted by the OTS and the FDIC, the examiners may require the Association to
provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves.  All savings
associations are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings
association's total assets.  The Association's OTS assessment for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1998 was $77,000.

     The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings
institutions and their holding companies, including Fort Bend and the Company.
This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess
civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to
initiate injunctive actions.  In general, these enforcement actions may be
initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound
practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement
action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS.  Except
under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by
the OTS is required.

     In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the
Association is prescribed by federal laws, and the Association is prohibited
from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws.  For instance, no
savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt
securities.  In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal
associations in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed
400% of total capital, except with approval of the OTS.  Federal savings
associations are also generally authorized to branch nationwide.  Fort Bend is
in compliance with the noted restrictions.

     The Association's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-
borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and
surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable
collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital
and surplus).  At March 31, 1998, the Association's lending limit under this
restriction was $3.6 million.  The Association is in compliance with its loans-
to-one-borrower limitation.   See "Business  -  Lending Activities."

     The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted
guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan
underwriting and documentation, internal controls and audit systems, interest
rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits.  Any
institution which fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance
plan. A failure to submit a plan or to comply with an approved plan will subject
the institution to further enforcement action.  The OTS and the other federal
banking agencies have also proposed additional guidelines on asset quality and
earnings standards.  No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form the
proposed regulations will be adopted.

                                       33

INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS AND REGULATION BY THE FDIC

     Fort Bend is a member of the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC.  Fort
Bend's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and such
insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
government.  As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is
authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured
institutions. The FDIC also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from
engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a
serious risk to the FDIC.  The FDIC also has the authority to initiate
enforcement actions against savings associations, after giving the OTS an
opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the institution's deposit
insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound
practices, or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

     The FDIC's deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based
system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of
nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of
capital and supervisory evaluation.  Under the system, institutions classified
as well capitalized (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier
1 or core capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at
least 6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy
pay the lowest premium, while institutions that are less than adequately
capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a
risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of all insured
institutions will be made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

     The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semi-annual
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than the
designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured deposits.  In setting these
increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio to that
designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio as established by the
FDIC.  The FDIC also may impose special assessments on SAIF members to repay
amounts borrowed from the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed
necessary by the FDIC.

     In order to equalize the deposit insurance premium schedules for BIF and
SAIF insured institutions, the FDIC imposed a one-time special assessment on all
SAIF-assessable deposits pursuant to federal legislation enacted on September
30, 1996.  The Association's special assessment, which was $1.5 million, was
paid in November 1996, and included in federal deposit insurance expense for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.  Effective January 1, 1997, the premium
schedule for BIF and SAIF insured institutions ranged from 0 to 27 basis points.
However, SAIF-insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation
(FICO) assessment, in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve
thrift failures in the 1980s, equal to 6.48 basis points for each $100 in
domestic deposits, while BIF-insured institutions pay an assessment equal to
1.52 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits.  The assessment is
expected to be reduced to 2.43 no later than January 1, 2000, when BIF insured
institutions fully participate in the assessment.  These assessments, which may
be revised based upon the level of BIF and SAIF deposits, will continue until
the bonds mature in the year 2017.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     Federally insured savings associations, such as Fort Bend, are required to
maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital.  The OTS has established capital
standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core
capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such
savings associations.  These capital requirements must be generally as stringent
as the comparable capital requirements for national banks.  The OTS is also
authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on
individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

     The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of
adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation).  Tangible capital generally
includes common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income.  In addition, all
intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing
rights, must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating compliance with
the requirement.

     The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements for
savings associations that own subsidiaries.  In determining compliance with the
capital requirements, all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible
for national banks or engaged in certain other activities solely as agent for
its customers are "includable" subsidiaries that are consolidated for capital
purposes in proportion to the association's level of ownership.  For excludable
subsidiaries, the debt and equity investments in such subsidiaries are deducted
from assets and capital.  At March 31, 1998, the Association had tangible
capital of $22.9 million, or 7.32% of adjusted total assets, which was
approximately $18.2 million above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted
total assets in effect on that date.

     The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 4% of
adjusted total assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus
certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card
relationships.  As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions discussed
below, however, a savings association must maintain a core capital ratio of at
least 4% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory
condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio.  At March 31, 1998, the
Association had intangible assets in the form of $1.3 million of goodwill which
were subject to these tests.

     At March 31, 1998, the Association had core capital equal to $22.9 million,
or 7.32% of adjusted total assets, which was $10.4 million above the minimum
leverage ratio requirement of 4.0% as in effect on that date.

      The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to have total
capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Total capital consists of core
capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital.  Supplementary capital
consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not
qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.  Supplementary capital may be
used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital.
The OTS is also authorized to require a savings association to maintain an
additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk
and the risk of non-traditional activities.  At March 31, 1998, the Association
had no capital instruments that qualify as supplementary capital and $1.4
million of general loss reserves, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets.

                                       35
<PAGE>
 
     Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for the
purpose of calculating total capital.  Such exclusions consist of equity
investments (as defined by regulation) and that portion of land loans and
nonresidential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio and
reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments.  The Association had
$263,000 of investments in and advances to nonincludable subsidiaries and
$760,000 of excess qualifying purchased or originated mortgage loan servicing
which were excluded from capital and assets for the purpose of calculating total
capital at March 31, 1998.

     In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including
certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging
from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset.  For example,
the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent
one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent
and having a loan to value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless
insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by the FNMA or FHLMC.

     The OTS has adopted a final rule that requires every savings association
with more than normal interest rate risk exposure to deduct from its total
capital, for purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount
equal to 50% of its interest-rate risk exposure multiplied by the present value
of its assets.  This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net
portfolio value of a savings association, greater than 2% of the present value
of its assets, based upon a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in
interest rates (whichever results in a greater decline).  Net portfolio value is
the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-
balance sheet contracts.  The rule provides for a two-quarter lag between
calculating interest rate risk and recognizing any deduction from capital.  The
rule will not become effective until the OTS evaluates the process by which
savings associations may appeal an interest rate risk deduction determination.
It is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed.

     At March 31, 1998, Fort Bend had total capital of $24.3 million (including
$22.9 million in core capital and $1.4 million in qualifying supplementary
capital) and risk-weighted assets of $171.2 million; or total capital of 14.2%
of risk-weighted assets.  This amount was $10.6 million above the 8% requirement
in effect on that date.

     The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances
required, to take certain actions against savings associations that fail to meet
their capital requirements.  The OTS is generally required to take action to
restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association" (generally defined
to be one with less than either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-
based capital ratio or an 8% risk-based capital ratio).  Any such association
must submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the
OTS may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch
or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital
distributions.  The OTS is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that
are applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.

      As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any
company controlling an undercapitalized association must agree that it will
enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the
institution's achievement of its capital requirements.

     Any savings association that fails to comply with its capital plan or is
"significantly undercapitalized" (i.e., Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios
of less than 3% or a risk-based capital

                                       36
<PAGE>
 
ratio of less than 6%) must be made subject to one or more of additional
specified actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its
operations and include a forced merger or acquisition of the association. An
association that becomes "critically undercapitalized" (i.e., a tangible capital
ratio of 2% or less) is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its
activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized
associations. In addition, the OTS must appoint a receiver (or conservator with
the concurrence of the FDIC) for a savings association, with certain limited
exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any
undercapitalized association is also subject to the general enforcement
authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including the appointment of a conservator or
a receiver.

     The OTS is also generally authorized to reclassify an association into a
lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category
if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe
or unsound condition.

     The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on Fort Bend
may have a substantial adverse effect on the Company's operations and
profitability.  Company stockholders do not have preemptive rights, and
therefore, if the Company is directed by the OTS or the FDIC to issue additional
shares of Common Stock, such issuance may result in the dilution in the
percentage of ownership of the Company.

LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS

     OTS regulations impose various restrictions on savings associations with
respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include
dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other
transactions charged to the capital account.  OTS regulations also prohibit a
savings association from declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing
any of its stock if, as a result, the regulatory capital of the association
would be reduced below the amount required to be maintained for the liquidation
account established in connection with its mutual to stock conversion.

     Generally, savings associations, such as Fort Bend, that before and after
the proposed distribution meet their capital requirements, may make capital
distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net
income for the year-to-date plus 50% of the amount by which the lesser of the
association's tangible, core or risk-based capital exceeds its capital
requirement for such capital component, as measured at the beginning of the
calendar year, or 75% of its net income for the most recent four quarter period.
However, an association deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by
the OTS may have its dividend authority restricted by the OTS.  Fort Bend may
pay dividends in accordance with this general authority.

     Savings associations proposing to make any capital distribution need only
submit written notice to the OTS 30 days prior to such distribution.  Savings
associations that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital
requirements following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain OTS
approval prior to making such distribution.  The OTS may object to the
distribution during that 30-day period notice based on safety and soundness
concerns.  See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

                                       37
<PAGE>
 
LIQUIDITY

     All savings associations, including Fort Bend, 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.  This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings associations.  At the present time, the minimum liquid
asset ratio is 4%.

ACCOUNTING

     An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings associations clarifies
and re-emphasizes that the investment activities of a savings association must
be in compliance with approved and documented investment policies and
strategies, and must be accounted for in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Under the policy statement, management must support its
classification of and accounting for loans and securities (i.e., whether held
for investment, sale or trading) with appropriate documentation.  Fort Bend is
in compliance with these amended rules.

     The OTS has adopted an amendment to its accounting regulations, which the
OTS may make more stringent than generally accepted accounting principles, to
require that transactions be reported in a manner that best reflects their
underlying economic substance and inherent risk and that financial reports must
incorporate any other accounting regulations or orders prescribed by the OTS.

QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST

     All savings associations, including the Association, are required to meet a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their
operations.  This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of
its portfolio assets (as defined by regulation) in qualified thrift investments
on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis.  As an
alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets in those
assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under
either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans
and investments.  As March 31, 1998, the Association met the test and has always
met the test since its effectiveness.

     Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a
national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter remains a
QTL.  If an association does not requalify and converts to a national bank
charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it to transfer to
the BIF.  If such an association has not yet requalified or converted to a
national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those
permissible for both a savings association and a national bank, and it is
limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the
association is immediately ineligible to receive any new FHLB borrowings and is
subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends.  If such association
has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the
failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not
permissible for a national bank.  In addition, it must repay promptly any
outstanding FHLB borrowings, which may result in prepayment penalties.  If any
association that fails the QTL test is controlled by a holding company, then
within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank
holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding
companies.  See "-- Holding Company Regulation."

                                       38

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT

     Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), every FDIC insured
institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and
sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods.  The CRA does not establish
specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services
that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with
the CRA.  The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of the
Association, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of
its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain
applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Fort Bend.
An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an
application by the OTS.

     The federal banking agencies, including the OTS, have recently revised the
CRA regulations and the methodology for determining an institution's compliance
with the CRA.  Due to the heightened attention being given to the CRA in the
past few years, the Association may be required to devote additional funds for
investment and lending in its local community.  The Association was last
examined for CRA compliance in March 31, 1998 and received a rating of
satisfactory.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries
and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association
as transactions with non-affiliates.  In addition, certain of these
transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of
the association's capital.  Affiliates of Fort Bend include the Company and any
company which is under common control with Fort Bend.  In addition, a savings
association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible
for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates.  The
Association's subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates.  The OTS, however, has the
discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a
case-by-case basis.

     Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are
also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS.  These
conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on
loans to such persons and their related interests.  Among other things, such
loans must be made on terms substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated
individuals.

HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION

     The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to
regulatory oversight by the OTS.  As such, the Company is required to register
and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by
the OTS.  In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Company and
its non-savings association subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict
or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the
subsidiary savings association.

     As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not
subject to activity restrictions.  If the Company acquires control of another
savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings
and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its
subsidiaries (other than Fort Bend or any other SAIF-insured savings

                                       39
<PAGE>
 
association) would become subject to such restrictions unless such other
associations each qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory
acquisition.

     If the Association fails the QTL test, the Company must obtain the approval
of the OTS prior to continuing after such failure, directly or through its other
subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple
savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries.  In addition, within
one year of such failure the Company must register as, and will become subject
to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies.  The activities
authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than are the activities
authorized for a unitary or multiple savings and loan holding company.  See "-
Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

     The Company must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring control of
any other SAIF-insured association.  Such acquisitions are generally prohibited
if they result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling
savings associations in more than one state.  However, such interstate
acquisitions are permitted based on specific state authorization or in a
supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW

     The stock of the Company is registered with the Commission under the
Exchange Act.  The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation,
insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the Commission under the
Exchange Act.

     Company stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers,
directors and principal stockholders) of the Company may not be resold without
registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions.  If
the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each
affiliate of the Company is able to sell in the public market, without
registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

     The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain
non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction
accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts).  At March
31, 1998, the Association was in compliance with these reserve requirements.
The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal
Reserve Board may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements that may be imposed
by the OTS.  See "- Liquidity."

     Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank
"discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to
exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including FHLB
borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM

     The Association is a member of the FHLB of Dallas, which is one of 12
regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of savings
associations.  Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members
within its assigned region.  It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System.  It makes loans to
members

                                       40
<PAGE>
 
(i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established
by the board of directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the
Federal Housing Finance Board.  All advances from the FHLB are required to be
fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB.  In addition,
all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home
financing.

     Under federal law, the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the
resolution of troubled savings associations and to contribute to low- and
moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on
advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing
projects.  These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB
dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future.  These contributions
could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future.  A
reduction in value of the Association's FHLB stock may result in a corresponding
reduction in the Association's capital.

     As a member of the FHLB of Dallas, the Association is required to purchase
and maintain stock in the FHLB of Dallas.  At March 31, 1998, the Association
had $1.5 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.
Fort Bend has received dividends on its FHLB stock, which have averaged 5.28%
over the past five calendar years and were 5.94% for calendar year 1997.

     For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, stock dividends paid by the FHLB
of Dallas to the Association totaled $88,000, which constitutes a $16,000
decrease from the amount of dividends received in fiscal year 1997.  The $22,000
dividend received for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 reflects an annualized
rate of 6.0%, or .06% above the rate for calendar 1997.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

     FEDERAL TAXATION.  Prior to the enactment of legislation in August 1996
(discussed below), savings associations such as the Association that met certain
definitional tests relating to the composition of assets and other conditions
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), had
been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions
thereto which could, within specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in
computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes.  The amount of the bad
debt reserve deduction for "non-qualifying loans" was computed under the
experience method.  The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction for "qualifying
real property loans" (generally loans secured by improved real estate) is
computed under the experience method.

     In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repealed the percentage of
taxable income method of accounting used by many thrifts to calculate their bad
debt reserve for federal income tax purposes.  As a result, small thrifts such
as the Association must recapture that portion of the reserve that exceeds the
amount that could have been taken under the experience method for post-1987 tax
years.  The legislation also requires thrifts to account for bad debts for
federal income tax purposes on the same basis as commercial banks for tax years
beginning after December 31, 1995.  The recapture will occur over a six-year
period, the commencement of which was delayed until the first taxable year
beginning after December 31, 1997, for institutions which met certain
residential lending requirements.  The management of the Association does not
believe that the legislation will have a material impact on the Association.

     In addition to regular income tax, corporations, including savings
associations such as the Association, generally are subject to a minimum tax.
An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a

                                       41
<PAGE>
 
minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum
of a corporation's regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax
preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is
imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net
operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable
income.

     To the extent earnings appropriated to a savings association's bad debt
reserves for "qualifying real property loans" and deducted for federal income
tax purposes exceed the allowable amount of such reserves computed under the
experience method and to the extent of the association's supplemental reserves
for losses on loans ("Excess"), such Excess may not, without adverse tax
consequences, be utilized for the payment of cash dividends or other
distributions to a stockholder (including distributions on redemption,
dissolution or liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt
losses).  As of March 31, 1998, the Association's Excess for tax purposes
totaled approximately $1.5 million.  Under present law should the Association
cease to be a savings institution, the Company would be required to recapture
the Association's bad debt reserves in its Excess.

     The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns with the
Association and its subsidiaries on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method
of accounting.  The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been audited
by the IRS with respect to consolidated federal income tax returns through March
31, 1985.  With respect to years examined by the IRS, either all deficiencies
have been satisfied or sufficient reserves have been established to satisfy
asserted deficiencies.  In the opinion of management, any examination of still
open returns (including returns of subsidiaries and predecessors of, or entities
merged into, the Association) would not result in a deficiency which could have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

     TEXAS TAXATION.  The State of Texas does not have a corporate income tax,
but it does have a corporate franchise tax.  Legislation enacted in August 1991
subjected savings and loan associations to such franchise tax effective January
1, 1992.  The tax is the higher of 0.25% of taxable capital (usually the total
of stated capital,  paid in capital and retained earnings) or 4.5% of "net
taxable earned surplus."  "Net taxable earned surplus" is net income for federal
income tax purposes increased by the compensation of directors and executive
officers and decreased by interest on obligations guaranteed by the U.S.
government.  Net income cannot be reduced by net operating loss carryforwards
from years prior to 1991, and operating loss carryovers are limited to five
years. To the extent that the Company has "Texas" taxable income, it also will
be subject to taxation.

     DELAWARE TAXATION.  As a Delaware holding company, the Company is exempted
from Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with
and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware.  The Company is also subject to
an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware.

COMPETITION

     Fort Bend faces strong competition, both in originating real estate and
other loans and in attracting deposits.  Competition in originating real estate
loans comes primarily from mortgage bankers, other savings institutions,
commercial banks and credit unions located in the Association's market areas.
Other commercial banks, savings institutions, and credit unions provide vigorous
competition in consumer lending.

     The Association attracts all of its deposits through its branch offices,
primarily from the communities in which those branch offices are located;
therefore, competition for those deposits is principally from other savings
institutions and commercial banks located in the same communities as well as
brokerage firms.  The Association competes for these deposits by offering a
variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and
convenient branch locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges
at each.  An automated teller machine ("ATM") facility is available at the
Rosenberg, Needville, East Bernard and Missouri City branches.

EMPLOYEES

     At March 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries had a total of 175
employees, including 29 part-time employees.  Such employees are not represented
by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations
to be good.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WHO ARE NOT DIRECTORS

     The following is a description of the Company's and the Association's
executive officers who were not also directors as of March 31, 1998.

     Larry J. Dobrava.  Mr. Dobrava, age 58, is the Senior Vice President of the
Association in charge of loan operations.  His primary responsibilities include
overall administration of the Association's lending operations, including real
estate, construction, consumer and commercial lending.  Mr. Dobrava joined the
Association in 1966 and served in several capacities in the Association's
lending department prior to being promoted to his present position in 1981.

     David D. Rinehart.  Mr. Rinehart, age 56, joined the Association in 1988 as
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Rinehart is primarily
responsible for planning and directing the Association's accounting, savings and
investment functions.  He is also responsible for the overall administration of
branch operations, internal audit/compliance and data processing of the
Association.  The Board of Directors of the Company elected Mr. Rinehart Senior
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company in 1993 and Executive
Vice President in 1996.

     Sandra C. Samford.  Ms. Samford, age 48, has been Vice President in charge
of corporate planning and investor relations and the Association's Corporate
Secretary since 1988.  In this capacity, she is responsible for planning and
coordinating the Association's management information system.  Ms. Samford has
been employed by the Association since 1970.  The Board of Directors of the
Company elected Ms. Samford Vice President and Secretary of the Company in 1993.

ITEM 6.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

When used in this report, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expect" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, those set
forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations."   Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  Fort
Bend Holding Corp. (the "Holding Corp.") undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

GENERAL

The Holding Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware to
become a savings and loan holding company with Fort Bend Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Rosenberg (the "Association") as its subsidiary.  The
Holding Corp. was incorporated at the direction of the Board of Directors of the
Association, and on June 30, 1993 acquired all of the capital stock of the
Association upon its conversion from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion").
Prior to the Conversion, the Holding Corp. did not engage in any material
operations  and, at  March  31, 1998,  had  no  significant assets or
liabilities other than the investment in the capital stock of the Association,
investment securities, deferred charges from the subordinated debt issue, cash
and cash equivalents and the subordinated debentures.  However, during the
fiscal year, the Holding Corp. did participate in multi-family loans originated
by Mitchell Mortgage Company, L.L.C. ("Mitchell")  for sale to the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association.  It is
anticipated that this will continue in fiscal year 1999.  In January, 1997 the
Association acquired, and has consolidated in its financial statements, a 51%
interest in Mitchell.  Unless the context otherwise requires, all references
herein to the Holding Corp. include the Holding Corp. and the Association on a
consolidated basis.

The Association is principally engaged in the business of attracting retail
deposits from the general public and investing those funds in first mortgage
loans on owner occupied, single-family residences, mortgage-backed securities
and investment securities.  The Association originates residential construction
loans, land acquisition and development loans and commercial real estate loans.
The Association also originates commercial loans and consumer loans, including
loans for the purchase of automobiles and home improvement loans.   Mitchell
engages in similar lending activities with an emphasis on construction and
multi-family lending and loan servicing.

The most significant outside factors influencing the operations of the
Association and other banks and savings institutions include general economic
conditions, competition in the local market place and the related monetary and
fiscal policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions.  More
specifically, the cost of funds, primarily consisting of deposits, is influenced
by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest.
Lending activities are influenced by the demand for 

                                       46
<PAGE>
 
real estate financing and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the
interest rates at which such loans may be offered and other factors affecting
loan demand and funds availability.

In November 1997, home equity lending was approved in Texas.  Since January
1998, the Association has been lending on the equity in homesteads in Texas
through a home equity lending program and, at March 31, 1998, principal
outstanding on home equity loans was approximately $2.2 million.

Since conversion to stock form, in order to meet the financial services needs of
the communities it serves, the Association's intention has been to grow in a
reasonable, prudent manner and has included expansion of the branch network and
the acquisition of other financial institutions and related companies operating
generally within a 100 mile radius of Rosenberg, Texas.  As a part of this
growth, the Association has increased the portfolio allocation of single family
construction lending, including the origination of speculative loans to
qualified builders, commercial real estate lending and consumer lending.
Residential construction loans to owner-occupants are generally underwritten
using the same criteria as for one- to four-family residential loans.  Loan
proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and inspections
warrant.  Two additional branch offices, in Katy, Texas and Missouri City,
Texas, were added during fiscal 1997. Management believes that this has resulted
in the expansion of the Association's core deposit base and lending activities.
In addition, a new branch in The Woodlands, Texas has been approved by the
Office of Thrift Supervision.  The branch facility initially will be located in
the offices of Mitchell and is expected to open in the early part of fiscal
1999.

Continued growth of the Association may be financed by either increasing the
deposit portfolio or from borrowed funds.  The acquisition of branches from
other financial institutions in the Association's geographic area is one other
possible source.  In addition, the use of borrowed funds to purchase short
duration, mortgage-backed securities or single family mortgage loans may be
considered to add to the Association's portfolio.

Loan servicing has been one of the stable income providers for the Association
and will continue to be expanded, to the extent possible, through the retention
of servicing for loans originated and sold into the secondary market, as well as
through the purchase of mortgage servicing rights, to the extent deemed
appropriate (and subject to market conditions at the time).  At March 31, 1998,
the Association serviced approximately $311 million of loans for others and
Mitchell serviced approximately $588 million of loans for others for a total of
$899 million of loans serviced for others.  Management believes purchases of
loan servicing rights may allow the Holding Corp. to take advantage of some
economies of scale related to servicing.

The Holding Corp.'s strategic plan will continue to be reviewed quarterly for
progress by the Board of Directors.  The Board will modify the plan as deemed
appropriate to reflect the operational environment of the Association and the
best interest of shareholders.

Interest rates decreased slightly during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998.
The impact of this change was a higher volume of permanent single family lending
activity, resulting in an increase in net gain on sale of loans and an increase
to loans receivable, net.  In a declining rate environment, prices for loans
sold in the secondary market normally increase and generally create a gain when
the loans are sold.  In addition, the Association has been able to generate new
sources of single family construction lending, consumer lending, and commercial
real estate lending to 

                                      47
<PAGE>
 
compliment the volume of permanent single family lending.

It is difficult to determine the exact impact of declining interest rates on the
net interest margin.  Prepayment tendencies on loans and mortgage-backed
securities may vary from historical experience and depositors' preference for
various deposit products and maturities may also vary.  The Association's
favorable liquidity position of 12.24% allows some flexibility in adjusting to
cash flow requirements brought on by interest rate changes.  The Association's
one year interest-rate sensitivity gap was a positive 17.57% of total assets at
March 31, 1998.  A positive gap indicates there are more interest-earning assets
repricing during a stated period than interest-bearing liabilities.  This
suggests that in a declining rate environment the net interest margin would
decrease and in a rising rate environment the margin would increase.  See
"Interest Rate Risk Management".

At March 31, 1998, the Holding Corp. had unrealized gains and losses in its
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolio which are being
held to maturity.  The Holding Corp. has both the intent and ability to hold
these securities until maturity.  In addition, management believes the Holding
Corp. will be  able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the debt securities and is not aware of any information that would
indicate the inability of any issuer of such securities to make contractual
payments in a timely manner.  As such, the Holding Corp. believes that these
unrealized losses will not ultimately be realized and, therefore, should not be
recognized in the financial statements since such losses are not other than
temporary.

Most of the Association's mortgage-backed securities are agency securities and
are either guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States
Government (GNMA) or are insured by a Government Sponsored Enterprise (FNMA &
FHLMC).  In addition, the Association holds some private issue mortgage-backed
securities which consist of the "A" piece of "A-B" structured securities, where
the "B" piece is subordinate to the "A" piece, and which have been rated one of
the two highest categories by one or more of  the rating agencies.  These
securities have pool insurance and/or reserve funds in addition to the
subordination of the "B" piece.  Collateral for these securities is mortgage
whole loans.  None of these securities are considered "high risk" as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and none have failed to pass the
Federal Financial Institution Examination Council ("FFIEC") mandatory test for
"high risk" securities.   The Association does not invest in such "high risk"
securities.

Management of the investment portfolio is not designed to be the primary source
of funds for the Holding Corp.'s operations. Rather, it is viewed as a use of
funds generated by the Holding Corp. to be invested in interest-earning assets
to be held to maturity or available for sale. Cash flow mismatches between
sources and uses of funds should not require any of the securities to be
liquidated. While cash flows from the securities vary depending on the
prepayment speeds associated with each particular security, the variance in the
prepayment speeds does not impact the over all cash flow needs of the Holding
Corp. since the Association has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Currently, the Association has the ability to borrow
up to an additional $149 million if cash flow requirements cannot be met by
attracting deposits from its customer base (its primary source of funds), or
from repayment of loans and other sources. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Holding
Corp.'s computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in
normal business activities.

The Holding Corp. outsources its primary data processing functions. To date, the
Holding Corp. has solicited confirmations from its primary vendors that plans
have been developed by them to address and correct the issues associated with
the Year 2000. The Holding Corp. has established a management committee to
identify all of its functions potentially affected by the Year 2000 and to
ensure that re-programming and testing of the affected systems will be
substantially completed by December 31, 1998, thus allowing adequate time for
implementation. Management believes that, with modifications to existing
hardware and software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will
not pose a significant operational problem for the Holding Corp. However,
because most computer systems are, by their very nature, interdependent, it is
possible that non-compliant third party computers could "reinfect" the Holding
Corp.'s computer systems. The Holding Corp. could be adversely affected by the
Year 2000 issue if it or unrelated parties fail to successfully address this
issue. It is currently estimated that the Holding Corp. will spend approximately
$100,000 on the Year 2000 issue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

Net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 was $2,018,000, or $1.21 per
common share, compared to $775,000, or $0.47 per common share, for fiscal 1997.
Earnings per common share - assuming dilution were $0.94 and $0.46 for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The significant
earnings increase for fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997 is partially
attributable to the special assessment of $1,493,000 recorded by the Company on
September 30, 1996 as a result of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act.

Also contributing to increased earnings for the fiscal year have been the
results of the Association's single family construction lending, consumer
lending, loan servicing, and the activity of the Association's subsidiary,
Mitchell.

NET INTEREST INCOME.   Net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased $2.0 million to $9.4 million for the fiscal year 1998 compared to $7.4
million in fiscal 1997.  The increase primarily reflects an increase in average
net interest-earning assets of $17.0 million from $13.0 million in fiscal 1997
to $30.0 million in fiscal 1998.  Net interest income in fiscal 1998 was
favorably impacted by an increase of $38.2 million in the average balance of
loans receivable, primarily due to the acquisition of Mitchell in January 1997.
The average balance of Mitchell's loan portfolio was $30.0 million in fiscal
1998.  Further contributing to the increased loans receivable balance was an
increase in the average balance of construction loans of $15.9 million from
$13.1 million in fiscal 1997 to $29.0 million in fiscal  1998 and an increase in
the average balance of installment and non-mortgage loans of $4.8 million from
$17.5 million in fiscal 1997 to $22.3 million in fiscal 1998.  Partially
offsetting the increase in loans receivable was a decrease in the average
balance of mortgage-backed securities of $13.9 million.  The Association's loan
demand was given preference over investments in mortgage-backed securities
during fiscal 1998.  Average deposits increased $20.2 million and primarily
reflects the addition of the Katy branch in May 1996, the acquisition of
FirstBanc Savings Association of Texas ("FirstBanc") in August 1996, and the
escrow deposits of Mitchell.  Average borrowings decreased $1.3 million and
primarily reflect a decrease in average monthly Federal Home Loan Bank advances
of $968,000.  Also contributing to the increase in net interest income is a .34%
increase in the net yield on average interest-earning assets to 3.29% in fiscal
1998 compared to 2.95% for fiscal 1997.   The improvement in net yield primarily
reflects an increase of .09% in the yield on average interest-earning assets to
7.60% for fiscal 1998 compared to 7.51% for fiscal 1997 partially offset by an
increase of .01% in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in fiscal 1998
compared to fiscal 1997.  The increase in the yield on average interest-earning
assets was primarily caused by the increase in the average loans receivable
balances discussed above and the reinvestment of principal repayments on
mortgage-backed securities with an average rate of 6.61% into portfolio loans
with an average rate of 8.64%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   The provision for loan losses for fiscal 1998
decreased $228,000 to $96,000 for the fiscal year 1998 from $324,000 for fiscal
1997.  In fiscal 1997, a loan loss provision was primarily established in
recognition of the increase in 

                                      50
<PAGE>
 
the loan portfolio from the acquisitions of FirstBanc and Mitchell. The
allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable was .99% at March 31, 1998
compared to 1.22% at March 31, 1997. The allowance for loan losses to total
loans receivable has decreased over the past five years, reflecting positive
trends in the Company's asset quality ratios. Non-performing assets to total
assets has steadily fallen from a high of 2.00% at March 31, 1994 to .37% at
March 31, 1998. Non-performing loans to total loans receivable have shown
positive trends over the same time period, with a high of 5.40% at March 31,
1994 and a low of .64% at March 31, 1997. Non-performing loans to total loans
receivable at March 31, 1998 was .67%. The allowance for loan losses to total
loans receivable at March 31, 1998 is 148.06%. See "Selected Financial Data".

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount which, in
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb reasonable foreseeable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio.  The amount of the provision is based on
management's regular review of the loan portfolio and consideration of such
factors as historical loss experience, generally prevailing economic conditions,
changes in size and composition of the loan portfolio and considerations
relating to specific loans, including the ability of the borrower to repay the
loan and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The decrease in the
allowance for loan losses is consistent with the Association's historical loss
experience. Ultimately, the adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon the
economy, changes in real estate values and interest rates and regulatory
requirements regarding asset classifications.  See "Asset Quality."

NONINTEREST INCOME.  Noninterest income increased $3.5 million to $6.9 million
in fiscal 1998 compared to $3.4 million in fiscal 1997.  Loan fees and charges
increased $2.6 million primarily reflecting an increase of $2.5 million in fees
generated by Mitchell's activities.  Gain on sales of loans in fiscal 1998 was
$870,000 compared to $568,000 in fiscal 1997.  The volume of  loan sales
increased $47.1 million in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997.  The increase in
volume was directly related to the acquisition of Mitchell, which actively sells
mortgage loans in the secondary market.   Loan servicing income increased
$363,000 which primarily reflected an increase of $30.8 million in loans
serviced for others to $898.8 million at March 31, 1998 compared to $868.0
million at March 31, 1997.  The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans
serviced for others acquired with the acquisition of Mitchell in January 1997
was $600 million.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased $126,000
primarily reflecting an increase in the number of transaction accounts resulting
from the acquisition of FirstBanc and the new branch office opened in Katy,
Texas.  Other income increased $96,000 primarily reflecting an increase in other
income from Mitchell of $288,000.  This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in the earnings from the sales of insurance products and discount
brokerage services of $161,000 caused by a decrease in sales volume in fiscal
1998.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  Noninterest expense increased $3.5 million to $12.7
million in fiscal 1998 compared to $9.2 million in fiscal 1997.   Compensation
and benefits increased $2.7 million and primarily reflected additional personnel
retained from the acquisitions of FirstBanc and Mitchell and the opening of the
Katy branch and normal salary increases within the Association.  Employee stock
ownership plan expense increased $282,000, primarily due to the appreciation in
the market value of ESOP shares released from collateral on the ESOP debt. This
non-cash pretax charge increased $248,000 to $383,000, which represents $0.23
per common share outstanding, for fiscal 1998 compared to $135,000 for  fiscal
1997.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the 

                                      51
<PAGE>
 
number of shares released and an increase in Fort Bend Holding Corp.'s stock
price to $27.00 per share at March 31, 1998 compared to $12.38 per share at
March 31, 1997. The cost of the stock to the ESOP is $5.00 per share. Office
occupancy increased $680,000 to $1.8 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $1.1
million for fiscal 1997 and primarily reflected an increase in Mitchell's
occupancy expense of $504,000. In addition, the Association experienced an
increase of $103,000 in depreciation, $45,000 in rent and utilities and $25,000
in telephone expense associated with the addition of the new branch in Katy,
Texas and the acquisition of FirstBanc. Data processing fees increased $276,000
to $569,000 for fiscal 1998 compared to $293,000 for fiscal 1997. The increase
was primarily due to increased fees for Mitchell of $151,000. In addition, the
Association experienced an increase in data processing fees associated with
computer upgrades and increased service bureau charges. Other expenses increased
$1.1 million to $2.8 million for fiscal 1998 compared to $1.7 million for fiscal
1997. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses of Mitchell of
$858,000, the largest of which was an increase in credit report and appraisal
fees of $180,000. Partially offsetting these increased expenses is the one time
Savings Association Insurance Fund assessment of $1.5 million recorded on
September 30, 1996 with no similar charge recorded in fiscal 1998.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense increased $732,000 in fiscal 1998
compared to fiscal 1997.  The increase primarily reflected the increase in
income before tax.  At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Holding Corp. has recorded a
net deferred tax asset of $105,000 and $306,000, respectively.  A valuation
allowance has not been recorded since the Holding Corp. has generated sufficient
levels of taxable income to insure realization of the deferred tax asset.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET INCOME OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY.  Minority interest
in net income of consolidated subsidiary increased $315,000 to $373,000 for
fiscal 1998 compared to $58,000 for fiscal 1997.  The increase reflected an
increase in net income of Mitchell of approximately $643,000 from $118,000 in
fiscal 1997 to $761,000 in fiscal 1998.  The fiscal 1998 financial statement
include the results of Mitchell for the full year.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

Net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 was $775,000, or $0.47 per
common share, compared to $1,687,000, or $1.00 per common share, for fiscal
1996. Earnings per common share - assuming dilution were $0.46 and $0.91 for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease in net
income resulted from an increase in noninterest expense of $3.6 million, a
substantial part of which was a one-time assessment on all SAIF insured
institutions, partially offset by increases of $1.5 million and $974,000 in
noninterest income and net interest income, before provision for loan losses,
respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME.   Net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased $974,000 to $7.4 million for the fiscal year 1997 compared to $6.4
million in fiscal 1996.  The increase primarily reflects a .14% increase in net
yield on average earning assets to 2.95% in fiscal 1997 compared to 2.81% for
fiscal 1996.  The improvement in net yield primarily reflects an increase of
 .28% in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 7.51% for fiscal 1997
compared to 7.23% for fiscal 1996 partially offset by an increase of .02% in
cost of interest-bearing liabilities in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
Net interest income in fiscal year 1997 was favorably impacted by an increase of
$32.3 million in the average balance of loans receivable representing the loans
acquired in the FirstBanc and Mitchell acquisitions.  The gross amount of loans
included in the calculation of the average monthly balance for FirstBanc and
Mitchell was approximately $21 million and $19.2 million, respectively.
Partially offsetting the increase in loans receivable growth was a decrease in
the average balance of mortgage-backed securities of $13.4 million.  The
Association's loan demand was given preference over investments in mortgage-
backed securities.  Average deposits increased $20.6 million and primarily
reflects the gross deposits acquired from FirstBanc  in August 1996.  Average
borrowings increased $7.1 million and primarily reflects a full year of the
$12.1 million, 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures issued in December 1995.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   Provision for loan losses for fiscal 1997 increased
$201,000 to $324,000 from $123,000 for fiscal 1996.  In fiscal 1997, loan loss
provisions were primarily established in recognition of the $45 million increase
in the loan portfolio from March 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997 and the decrease of
 .21% to 1.22% in allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31, 1997.
Non-performing assets to total assets decreased to .42% at March 31, 1997
compared to 1.29% at March 31, 1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME.  Noninterest income increased $1.5 million to $3.4 million
in fiscal 1997 compared to $1.9 million in fiscal 1996.  Gain on sales of loans
in fiscal 1997 was $568,000 compared to $313,000 in fiscal 1996.  The volume of
loan sales increased $10.5 million in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.  The
increase in volume was directly related to the acquisition of Mitchell, which
actively sells mortgage loans in the secondary market, in January 1997.  Loan
fees and charges increased $337,000 primarily reflecting increases in appraisal
fees of $133,000, construction loan fees of $44,000, most of which reflected the
$15.8 million increase in loan originations, late payment fees of $50,000 and
$114,000 of construction loan fees at Mitchell.  Loan servicing income increased
$477,000 which primarily reflected the $147 million of purchased and originated
servicing and the $600 million of servicing acquired with the acquisition of
Mitchell.  

                                      53
<PAGE>
 
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $158,000 primarily reflecting fees
on transaction accounts which reflects an increase in the number of accounts
resulting from the acquisition of FirstBanc and the new branch office opened in
Katy, Texas. Other income increased $231,000 primarily reflecting an increase in
the earnings from the sales of insurance products and discount brokerage
services of $263,000 reflecting renewal commissions earned on approximately $6
million of fixed annuities. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of
$30,000 in earnings from the sale of developed lots.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  Noninterest expense increased $3.6 million to $9.2 million
in fiscal 1997 compared to $5.6 million in fiscal 1996.  A significant portion
of the increase was the result of a one-time assessment of $1.5 million by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is administered by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  In addition to the SAIF assessment,
compensation and benefits increased $1.2 million and primarily reflected
additional personnel retained from the acquisition of FirstBanc in August 1996
and Mitchell Mortgage in January 1997, staffing for a new branch office opened
in Katy, Texas, normal salary increases and other additions to staff, partially
offset by a decrease in contributions to the retirement plan.  Office occupancy
increased $465,000 and primarily reflected increases of $122,000 in rent and
utilities relating to the acquisition of FirstBanc and opening of the Katy
Branch office, $133,000 in depreciation relating to remodeling of the Katy
Branch, acquisition of FirstBanc, and upgrading computer and telephone systems,
$122,000 relating to office occupancy costs at Mitchell and $38,000 in building
taxes and maintenance contracts.  Data processing fees increased $101,000 and
primarily reflected costs associated with the addition of FirstBanc and the new
branch office opened in Katy, Texas, creation of a wide area network connecting
all branch and main offices into one system and the fees incurred by Mitchell
for data processing.  Real estate operations, net decreased $195,000 and
primarily reflected a $167,000 gain on sale of a multifamily property previously
held as foreclosed real estate.  Other expense increased $526,000 and primarily
reflected an increase in stationery and supplies of $54,000 and postage of
$30,000 all of which represent expenses associated with the Katy branch
expansion and the acquisition of FirstBanc.  Approximately $60,000 of other
expenses were related to Mitchell. Capitalized loan origination costs decreased
$73,000 since most loans were originated for sale, eliminating the ability to
defer the associated loan origination cost.  Goodwill amortization of $51,000,
associated with the FirstBanc acquisition, was recognized in fiscal year 1997.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense decreased approximately $550,000 in
fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.  The decrease reflected lower net income,
primarily as a result of the one-time SAIF assessment.  At March 31, 1997 and
1996, the Holding Corp. has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $306,000 and
$419,000, respectively.  A valuation allowance has not been recorded since the
Holding Corp. has generated sufficient levels of taxable income to insure
realization of the deferred tax asset.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET INCOME OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY.  Minority interest
in net income of consolidated subsidiary was approximately $58,000 in fiscal
1997.  This balance represents the interest of The Woodlands Corporation in net
income of Mitchell.  The Association acquired a 51% ownership interest in
Mitchell in January 1997.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities and distinguishes between the increase related to
higher outstanding balances and the volatility of interest rates.  For each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e.,
changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e.,
changes in rate multiplied by old volume).  For purposes of the table, changes
attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Association attempts to maximize net interest income by achieving a positive
interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing 
interest rates. The Holding Corp.'s policies are designed to reduce the impact 
of changes in interest rates on its net interest income by maintaining a 
favorable match between the maturities or repricing dates of its 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Association has 
implemented these policies by generally selling long term fixed-rated mortgage 
loans that are originated, retaining adjustable-rate mortgage loans and 
short-term consumer loans that are originated, and purchasing adjustable rate or
short-term to maturity loans, mortgage-backed securities or collateralized 
mortgage obligations. As of March 31, 1998, the Association had 52.2% of its 
total loans and mortgage-backed securities in adjustable rate instruments 
compared to 55.2% at March 31, 1997. Loans held for sale, which are primarily 
fixed-rate mortgage loans, increased $10.3 million to $12.9 million at March 31,
1998 compared to $2.6 million at March 31, 1997. As a result of these policies,
the Association's cumulative one year interest-rate sensitivity gap at March 31,
1998 was a positive 17.57%. A positive gap would expose the Association to a
decrease in the net interest margin in a declining interest rate environment as
interest earned on assets may decline more rapidly than interest expense paid on
deposits. An increase in rates would be expected to cause interest income to
increase more rapidly than interest expense.

The following table sets forth the assumed repricing and maturity periods of the
Association's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at March 
31, 1998 and the interest rate sensitivity gap percentages at the dates 
indicated. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the amount by which 
assets repricing within the respective periods exceed liabilities repricing 
within such periods. All loans, mortgage and consumer, are assumed to prepay at 
annual rate of 6% per year. Adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities with 
current market indices (treasury yields, LIBOR, prime) are assumed to prepay at 
annual rates ranging from 1% to 19% per year. Adjustable-rate mortgage-backed 
securities with lagging indices (cost of funds) are assumed to prepay at annual
rates ranging from 5% to 15% per year. Fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities are
assumed to prepay at annual rates ranging from 9% to 18% per year. The decay
rate on savings and NOW accounts is assumed to be 60% within the next three
years, 20% between years four and five, and 20% between years six and ten. The
decay rate on money market accounts, which are more rate sensitive, is assumed
to be 50% between months four and twelve and 50% between years two and three. It
is assumed that fixed-rate certificates of deposit will not be withdrawn prior
to maturity.

The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the dollar amount of items that
are interest-rate sensitive and can be repriced within each of the periods
specified. Such repricing can occur in one of three ways: (1) the rate of
interest to be paid on an asset or liability may adjust periodically on the
basis of an index; (2) an asset or liability such as a mortgage loan may
amortize, permitting reinvestment of cash flows at the then-prevailing interest
rates; or (3) an asset or liability may mature, at which time the proceeds can
be reinvested at current market rates.

As prepayment activity changes however, the resulting gap is expected to be
affected. A decrease in prepayment speeds would be expected to move the gap
towards a matched or negative position. The opposite would be expected to occur
if prepayment speeds increase. Prepayment speeds are influenced by fluctuation
in interest rates and may not produce the same results as reflected in the
previous table. Also, certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities
or repricing periods but could react differently to changes in interest rates.
Assets which have adjustable-rate features may have a limitation on the periodic
interest rate adjustments and could result in a rate that is still below
existing market rates. This same feature may also limit the downward adjustment
in a declining rate environment.

The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") provides a Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") 
approach to the quantification of interest rate risk. This approach calculates 
the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and 
the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows
from off-balance sheet contracts.

The OTS issued a regulation, effective January 1, 1994, which uses a net market 
value methodology to measure the interest rate risk exposure of thrift 
institutions. OTS has delayed the implementation of the regulation pending the 
testing of an OTS appeals process for certain institutions. Under OTS 
regulations, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate risk in the event 
of an assumed change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's NPV in
an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its assets. Thrift 
institutions with greater than "normal" interest rate exposure must take a 
deduction from their total capital available to meet their risk-based capital 
requirement. The amount of that deduction is one-half of the difference between 
(i) the

                                      59
<PAGE>
 
institution's actual calculated exposure to a 200 basis point interest rate
increase or decrease (whichever results in the greater proforma decrease in NPV)
and (ii) its "normal" level of exposure which is 2% of the present value of its
assets. Because of the Association's asset size and level of risk-based capital,
the Association is exempt from this requirement. As of March 31, 1998, a change
in interest rates of a positive 200 basis points would have resulted in a .36%
decrease in the present value of the Association's assets, while a change in
interest rates of a negative 200 basis points would have resulted in a .94%
decrease in the present value of the Association's assets. Under OTS guidelines,
the Association's level of interest rate risk as of March 31, 1998 would be
considered "normal".

Presented on the table that follows as of March 31, 1998 is an analysis of the
Association's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous
and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments,
up and down 400 basis points in accordance with OTS regulations. As illustrated
in the table, the Association's NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than
declining rates. This occurs principally because, as rates rise, the market
value of fixed-rate loans declines due to both the rate increase and slowing
prepayments (and the NPV focuses on the Association's entire portfolio, not just
assets that are subject to adjustment or maturity within one year). When rates
decline, the Association does not experience a significant rise in market value
for these loans because borrowers prepay at relatively high rates.

Management reviews the OTS measurements on a quarterly basis. In addition to 
monitoring selected measures on NPV, management also monitors effects on net 
interest income resulting from increases or decreases in rates. This measure is 
used by management in conjunction with NPV measures to identify excessive 
interest rate risk.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees
to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market
rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans,
have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and
over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from
those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers
to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

                                      60

In addition, the previous tables do not necessarily indicate the impact of 
general interest rate movements on the Association's net interest income because
the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is subject to 
competitive and other pressures beyond the Association's control. As a result, 
certain assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or otherwise repricing 
within a stated period may in fact mature or reprice at different times and at 
different volumes.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
based on management's quarterly asset classification review and evaluation of 
the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of 
its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for 
which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other 
matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic 
conditions, cash flow analysis, historical loan loss experience, discussions 
held with delinquent borrowers and other factors that warrant recognition in 
providing for allowance for loan losses.

As a result of the review process, management recorded a $95,980 provision for 
loan losses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. The Holding Corp.'s 
allowance for loan losses decreased to $1.6 million, or 0.99% of total loans 
receivable, at March 31, 1998, as compared to $1.7 million, or 1.22% of total 
loans receivable, at March 31, 1997. Net charge-offs for the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1998 totaled $205,000, attributed primarily to one commercial real
estate loan, which was written down at payoff and the charge off of fifteen
consumer loans. While management believes it uses the best information available
to make determinations regarding the adequacy of the allowance, there is no
assurance that the subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio may not require
additional provisions for loan losses.

The non-performing assets to total assets ratio is one indicator of the exposure
to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Holding Corp. consist of 
non-accruing loans, troubled debt restructurings, and real estate and 
automobiles which were acquired as a result of foreclosure. The following table 
summarizes the various categories of the Holding Corp.'s non-performing assets.

                                                        March 31,
                                               -------------------------

Non-accruing loans                             $  528,521    $  489,251

Total non-performing assets decreased by $80,000 for the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1998. The increase in nonaccrual loans is primarily the result of a 
$168,000 increase in residential loans and a $143,000 increase in consumer loans
over 90 days delinquent. The residential loan increase includes one loan held by
Mitchell, with a balance of approximately $119,000, which was brought current
subsequent to year end, with the remainder consisting of Fort Bend Federal
loans. This increase was offset by the transfer of a $275,000 commercial real
estate loan from nonaccrual to troubled debt restructurings. A specific reserve
of $111,000 was set up against this loan balance at the date of the transfer
to troubled debt restructurings. The decrease in foreclosed assets was primarily
the result of the sale of a single family residence and a commercial real estate
property, which totaled $323,000, partially offset by the foreclosure of another
single family residence totaling $45,000.

                                      61
<PAGE>
 
At March 31, 1998, foreclosed assets consisted primarily of one single family 
residence, a 5% participation held by Mitchell in 33 residential lots, and three
repossessed automobiles. All of the foreclosed real estate assets and the 
repossessed automobiles are being marketed for sale. Three of the Mitchell 
residential lots are under contract for sale. The single family residence was 
subsequently sold at a gain of approximately $14,000 on April 21, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, sales of mortgage 
loans, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, 
borrowings, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and 
mortgage-backed securities principal repayments are a relatively predictable 
source of funds, deposit flows, prepayments of principal on loans and 
mortgage-backed securities, and sales of mortgage loans are greatly influenced 
by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Current OTS 
regulations require the Association to maintain cash and eligible investments in
an amount equal to at least 4% of customer accounts and short-term borrowings to
assure its ability to meet demands for withdrawals and repayment of short-term 
borrowings. As of March 31, 1998, the Association's liquidity ratio was 12.24% 
which was in excess of the minimum regulatory requirements.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, total deposits increased by $18.8 
million. This growth primarily reflects the addition of two branches in fiscal 
1997 and the deposit of custodial accounts by Mitchell.

The Association uses its capital resources principally to meet its ongoing 
commitments to fund maturing certificates of deposit and loan commitments, 
maintain its liquidity and meet operating expenses. At March 31, 1998, the 
Association had commitments to originate loans totaling $13.9 million. The 
Association considers its liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to meet
its foreseeable short and long-term needs. The Association expects to be able to
fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its material commitments and long-term 
liabilities.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Association decreased its 
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas by $52,000. It is 
anticipated that the amount of outstanding borrowings will fluctuate during the 
next fiscal year depending upon cash flows from the various sources of funds and
financing to be provided to Fort Bend's subsidiary, Mitchell.

In fiscal 1998, the Holding Corp. paid dividends of $0.285 per share. On 
April 22, 1998, the Holding Corp. declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share
payable on June 3, 1998 to the shareholders of record on May 13, 1998.

The Association is required to maintain specific amounts of regulatory capital 
pursuant to regulations of the OTS. The table below presents the Association's 
capital position at March 31, 1998 relative to the existing regulatory capital 
requirements. Such requirements may increase if proposed capital regulations are
implemented. Management believes the Association will meet the requirements of 
the proposed capital regulations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 128, 
"Earnings per Share" ("Statement 128"). Statement 128 specifies the computation,
presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share for entities 
with publicly held common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary 
earnings per share with a presentation of earnings per common share and fully 
diluted earnings per share with earnings per common share - assuming dilution. 
All earnings per share data is stated to reflect the adoption of Statement 128.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Accounting for Comprehensive
Income" ("Statement 130") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997 with earlier application permitted. Statement 130 defines
comprehensive income as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a
period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner
sources.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of 
an Enterprise and Related Information" ("Statement 131") which is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 with earlier application 
encouraged. Statement 131 specifies revised guidelines for determining an 
entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial information to 
be disclosed.

The adoption of Statements 130 and 131 is not expected to have a material 
impact on financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows reported by 
the Company. The Company did not adopt either of these new accounting standards 
early.

     subsidiary of the Association. Mitchell is 51% owned by the Association and
     49% owned by The Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P., successor in
     interest to The Woodlands Corporation.  The Holding Corp. and the
     Association are collectively referred to as the "Company" herein.  All
     significant intercompany transactions and balances 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 amounts reported in the consolidated financial
     statements and notes thereto.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts deposited with
     other financial institutions and short-term liquid investments with
     original maturities of three months or less.

     SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY

     Bonds, notes and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the
     positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost,
     adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income
     using the interest method over the period to maturity.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

     Securities available for sale consist of bonds, notes, mortgage-backed
     securities and certain equity securities not classified as trading
     securities nor as securities held to maturity.  Unrealized holding gains
     and losses, net of tax, are reported as a net amount in a separate
     component of stockholders' equity until realized.  Gains and losses are
     determined using the specific-identification method.  Premiums and
     discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over
     the period to maturity.

     Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-
     for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary would
     result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value.
     Management believes that none of the unrealized losses should be considered
     other than temporary.

     LOANS HELD FOR SALE

     Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market in the
     aggregate.  Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance
     by charges to income.  If loans receivable are transferred to loans held
     for sale, the lower of cost or market method is applied at the time of
     transfer.

     LOANS RECEIVABLE

     Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
     foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
     outstanding principal balance net of allowance for loan losses, undisbursed
     construction loans in process, and unearned discounts, premiums and loan
     fees.

     Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized
     and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

     The Company defines a loan as impaired when, based on current information
     and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all
     amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.   The
     Company uses the same criteria in placing a loan on nonaccrual status,
     exclusive of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans which are placed
     on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due.  When interest
     accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Interest
     income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are
     received.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and
     decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).  Management's periodic
     evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on past loan loss
     experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations
     that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any
     underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     REAL ESTATE OWNED

     Real estate owned ("REO"), which is included in other assets, includes
     properties on which the Company has foreclosed and taken title.  REO is
     reported at the lower of the carrying value of the loan or the fair value
     of the property obtained, less estimated selling costs.  The excess, if
     any, of the loan over the fair value of the property at the time of
     transfer from loans to REO is charged to allowance for loan losses.
     Subsequent declines in the fair value of the property and net operating
     results of the property are recorded in noninterest expenses.

     PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

     Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less
     accumulated depreciation, computed principally by the straight-line method
     over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Buildings and
     improvements have estimated useful lives ranging from three to fifty years,
     furniture, fixtures and equipment have estimated useful lives ranging from
     two to ten years and automobiles have useful lives of three years.

     PURCHASE METHOD OF ACCOUNTING

     Net assets of entities acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at
     fair value at the date of acquisition.  The excess of cost over net assets
     purchased (goodwill) is amortized using the straight-line method over 15
     years.  On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its recorded goodwill for
     events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying
     amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

     LOAN SERVICING

     Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the
     period of, estimated net servicing income which approximates the level-
     yield method.  The Company stratifies mortgage servicing rights based on
     one or more of the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying
     loans.  The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of the
     mortgage servicing rights in relation to the present value of the estimated
     future net servicing revenue based on management's best estimate of
     remaining loan lives.  Impairment is recognized through a valuation
     allowance for an individual stratum, and the amount of impairment is the
     amount by which the mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their
     fair value.

     For originated mortgage loans, the Company allocates the total cost of the
     loans between mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage
     servicing rights) based on their relative fair values.  Fair values are
     based on quoted market prices in active markets for loans and loan
     servicing rights.  For purchased mortgage servicing rights, the cost of
     acquiring loan servicing contracts is capitalized to the extent such costs
     do not exceed the amount by which the present value of estimated future
     servicing revenue exceeds the present value of expected future servicing
     costs.

     LOAN SERVICING, CONTINUED

     On April 1, 1995, the Company adopted the requirements of FASB Statement
     No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("Statement 122").
     Statement 122 requires that the Company recognize as separate assets rights
     to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of how those mortgage
     servicing rights are acquired.  This eliminates the distinction between
     purchased servicing rights which are capitalized and originated servicing
     rights, for which no value could be capitalized under the previous
     standard.  The adoption of Statement 122 increased gain on sale of loans by
     approximately $114,000 during 1996.  Statement 122 also requires that
     capitalized mortgage servicing rights be evaluated for impairment based on
     the fair value of those rights on a disaggregated basis.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes,
     whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
     future years of differences in the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
     their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory
     tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
     to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, if
     necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
     realized.

     COMMON STOCK SPLIT

     On August 21, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
     split in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable October 1, 1997 to
     shareholders of record on September 11, 1997.  The effect of the split is
     presented retroactively within stockholders' equity by transferring the par
     value for the additional shares issued from the additional paid-in capital
     account to the common stock account.

     All share and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect
     the stock split.

     EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE

     In December 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No.
     128, "Earnings per Share" ("Statement 128").  Statement 128 specifies the
     computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per
     share for entities with publicly held common stock.  It replaces the
     presentation of primary earnings per share with a presentation of earnings
     per common share and fully diluted earnings per share with earnings per
     common share - assuming dilution.  All earnings per share data is stated to
     reflect the adoption of Statement 128.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER COMMON SHARE, CONTINUED

     Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Earnings per common share - assuming dilution is computed by increasing the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period by
     the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if
     all dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  Dilutive potential
     common shares of the Company include stock options, the Mitchell option
     (See Note 2),  and the convertible subordinated debentures.  In addition,
     the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest
     associated with the convertible subordinated debentures and the minority
     interest in net income of Mitchell.

     Cash dividends per common share represent the historical cash dividends of
     the Company.

     On April 22, 1998, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share
     payable on June 3, 1998 to shareholders of record on May 13, 1998.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
     for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in
     accounting for its stock-based compensation plans.

     In 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation" ("Statement 123") which was effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1995.  Under Statement 123, the Company may
     elect to recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value
     of the awards or continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB
     25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
     disclosures for awards made in 1996 and future years as if the fair-value
     method defined in Statement 123 had been applied.  The Company has elected
     to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25.

     EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")

     The debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as
     collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the statement of
     financial condition.  As shares are released from collateral, the Company
     reports compensation expense equal to the difference between the current
     market price of the Company's stock and the price at which the stock was
     acquired for the establishment of the ESOP times the number of shares being
     released.  In addition, compensation expense is recognized for debt service
     and discretionary contributions.

     All ESOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings per share
     computations.  Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a
     reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are
     recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

     IMPACT ON NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, "Accounting for
     Comprehensive Income" ("Statement 130") which is effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted.
     Statement 130 defines comprehensive income as the change in equity of a
     business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
     circumstances from nonowner sources.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
     Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("Statement 131") which
     is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with
     earlier application encouraged.  Statement 131 specifies revised guidelines
     for determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of
     financial information to be disclosed.

     The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material impact
     on financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows reported by
     the Company.  The Company has not early adopted either of these new
     accounting standards.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to
     the 1998 financial statement presentation.  These reclassifications had no
     effect on net income or stockholders' equity.


  2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

     FIRSTBANC SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS

     On August 16, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
     FirstBanc Savings Association of Texas ("FirstBanc") for approximately $4.2
     million in cash. The FirstBanc acquisition was recorded using the purchase
     method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price of approximately
     $4.2 million was allocated to the assets based on their estimated fair
     values at the date of acquisition. The operating results of FirstBanc have
     been included in the Company's results of operations commencing August 16,
     1996. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets
     acquired was approximately $1.4 million and has been recorded as goodwill.
     FirstBanc had assets of approximately $30 million as of the acquisition
     date.

     MITCHELL MORTGAGE COMPANY, L.L.C.

     On January 2, 1997 the Association executed an agreement with The Woodlands
     Corporation to acquire a controlling interest in a new limited liability
     company, Mitchell Mortgage Company, L.L.C. ("Mitchell").  Mitchell was
     formed for the purpose of engaging in the mortgage banking business,
     including the origination and servicing of single family purchase loans,
     single family construction loans and commercial and multifamily real estate
     loans.  The Woodlands Corporation contributed certain mortgage loans and
     its mortgage servicing portfolio and liabilities of its wholly-owned
     mortgage banking subsidiary, Mitchell Mortgage Company ("Old Mitchell"), in
     exchange for a 49% ownership interest in Mitchell and the Association
     contributed cash of approximately $2.6 million in exchange for a 51%
     ownership interest in Mitchell.

     The purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the
     liabilities assumed based upon the fair values on the date of acquisition,
     as follows:

     In connection with the transaction, Old Mitchell (and The Woodlands Land
     Development Company, L.P., as successor) was granted an option to convert,
     upon the occurrence of certain events, its ownership interest in Mitchell
     into shares of the common stock of the Company, at a rate of 82.304 shares
     for each $1,000 of ownership interest in Mitchell, or $12.15 per share, in
     an amount not to exceed 9.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock
     after conversion.  Any amount that would otherwise be required to be issued
     exceeding 9.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock would be paid in
     cash.  The option becomes exercisable on January 2, 1999 and expires on
     January 2, 2002.

     The Association has guaranteed Mitchell's performance with the Government
     National Mortgage Association and has insured that Mitchell will maintain a
     required minimum net worth or the Association will infuse additional
     capital to cure any deficiency.

     Subordinated Debentures, with interest payable June 1 and December 1 of

     be converted at any time prior to maturity at a conversion rate of 92.592
     shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of debentures or
     $10.80 per share.  The debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at
     the option of the Holding Corp. at any time on or after December 1, 1998,
     at the redemption prices set forth below plus accrued interest.  The
     debentures are subordinated to all senior indebtedness and all general
     obligations of the Holding Corp.  The covenants of the Debenture restrict
     the Holding Corp. from paying dividends or other distributions on any
     junior securities of the Holding Corp. if a default in payment of interest
     or principal exists on any security.

     The following are redemption prices, expressed as a percentage of principal

     FHLB ADVANCE

     The advance from the FHLB, originated at $4.0 million, bears interest at a
     rate of 6.2% amortizing based on a 30-year term and matures on June 20,
     2000. The advance is collateralized by all FHLB stock owned by the Company,
     amounts on deposit with the FHLB and all of the securities owned by the
     Company which are held in safekeeping by the FHLB.  In addition, a Floating
     Blanket Lien has been executed whereby qualifying 1-4 family residential
     loans are pledged as collateral for the advances obtained from the FHLB.
     At March 31, 1998, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional
     $148,500,000 from the FHLB.

     EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN DEBT

     The Holding Corp. established an employee stock ownership plan financed by
     a third-party loan from a bank in the amount of $614,250 collateralized by
     the outstanding shares.  The borrowing is guaranteed by the Holding Corp.
     but does not constitute a legally binding contribution commitment by the
     Association.  The borrowing is payable in semi-annual principal payments of
     $43,875 over a 7-year period plus interest at a variable rate determined by
     the creditor (6.5% at March 31, 1998).  The borrowing is governed by
     various debt covenants, the most restrictive of which is the maintenance of
     certain regulatory capital ratios by the Association.

     FUTURE REPAYMENTS

     The following is a schedule by fiscal year of future principal payments
     required under the Company's borrowings:

     It is expected that the Company's deferred tax assets at March 31, 1998
     will be realized from the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities and
     from the recognition of future taxable income, without relying on tax
     planning strategies that the Company might not ordinarily follow.

     Retained earnings at March 31, 1998 includes approximately $1,531,000 for
     which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized.  This amount
     represents an allocation of income to bad-debt deductions for tax purposes
     only.  Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad-
     debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses
     would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the
     then-current corporate income tax rate.

     INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company sponsors the 1993 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"),
     a stock-based compensation plan which is described below.  Under the Plan,
     the Company is authorized to issue 257,730 shares of common stock pursuant
     to "Awards" granted to officers, key employees and directors in the form of
     incentive stock options qualified under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), nonqualified stock options not
     qualified under Section 422 of the Code, stock appreciation rights, limited
     stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock.  The Company granted
     incentive stock options in the numbers shown in the table below.

     The incentive stock options granted have an exercise price equal to or
     greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
     grant.  All the options granted have contractual terms of 10 years.  The
     stock options vest according to various schedules.  In accordance with APB
     25, the Company has not recognized any compensation cost for the stock
     options granted.

     A summary of the status of the Company's stock options as of March 31, 1998
     and March 31, 1997 and the changes for the years then ended is presented

     RESTRICTED STOCK

     The Company established a Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") as a
     method of providing key officers with a proprietary interest in the Company
     in a manner designed to encourage such individuals to remain with the
     Company.  Pursuant to the RRP, restricted stock awards for shares
     representing an aggregate of approximately 2% of the shares of common stock
     issued during the conversion were granted.  This amounted to an additional
     33,704 shares being issued as of the conversion date.  Stockholders' equity
     is reduced by unearned compensation in the amount of $83,050 and $82,324
     which represents the unvested portion of the RRP at March 31, 1998 and
     1997, respectively.

13.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Company sponsors a leveraged ESOP that covers all full-time employees
     who have attained the age of 21 and completed twelve consecutive months of
     service.  The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP at least equal
     to the ESOP's debt service less dividends received by the ESOP.  All
     dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service.  The ESOP
     shares are initially placed as collateral for its debt.  As the debt is
     repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to eligible
     employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year.  The
     ESOP shares are summarized as follows:

     A noncontributory trusteed profit sharing plan covering substantially all
     employees provides for lump sum distributions in cash upon termination or
     retirement in accordance with the plan's vesting provisions.
     Contributions, if any, are funded annually, and are determined by the board
     of directors.  No profit sharing contributions were made in 1998 or 1997.
     During 1996, $29,000 in contributions were recorded.

     An incentive savings plan has been established which is a qualified profit
     sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Contributions to the incentive savings plan are determined by the Board of
     Directors.  Employees may also make contributions to the incentive savings
     plan based upon a percentage of qualified compensation in accordance with
     the Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations.  No contributions were
     made to this plan in 1998, 1997, or 1996.


14.  REGULATORY MATTERS:

     The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
     administered by the federal banking authorities.  Failure to meet minimum
     capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly
     additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
     have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements.  Under
     capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
     corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital guidelines
     that involve quantitative measures of the Association's assets,
     liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
     regulatory accounting practices.  The Association's capital amounts and
     classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
     about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

14.  REGULATORY MATTERS, CONTINUED:

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
     require the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
     in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the
     regulations) to total assets (as defined), and of risk-based capital (as
     defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of
     March 31, 1998, that the Association meets all capital adequacy
     requirements to which it is subject.

     As of March 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the Office of
     Thrift Supervision categorized the Association as well capitalized under
     the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized
     as well capitalized the Association must maintain minimum total tangible,
     core and risk-based capital ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no
     conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
     changed the institution's category.  The Association's actual capital
     amounts (in thousands) and ratios are presented in the following table:

15.  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

     The Company invests a portion of its cash in deposit accounts with various
     financial institutions in amounts which may exceed the insured amount of
     $100,000.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments
     which typically are payable on demand.  The Company performs ongoing
     evaluations of the financial institutions in which it invests deposits and
     periodically assesses its credit risk with respect to these accounts.

     The Company originates commercial, residential, home improvement,
     construction and consumer loans primarily to customers in the greater
     Houston, Texas area and, accordingly, a substantial portion of its debtors'
     ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the local Houston
     economy and real estate market.

16.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

     The Company 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 and to reduce exposure to fluctuation in interest rates.  These
     financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and sell loans.
     Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in
     excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of financial
     condition.  The contract or notional amounts of these instruments as
     detailed below reflect the extent of involvement in particular classes of
     financial instruments.

     The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
     party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
     represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company
     uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
     obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  For forward
     commitments, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
     nonperformance by the counter parties.  However, the Company does not
     anticipate nonperformance by the counter parties.

     Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk include the following:

    </TABLE>

     Commitments to extend credit 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 some of the commitments
     may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
     necessarily represent future cash requirements.

     The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case
     basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary upon
     extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the
     counter party.  Collateral obtained upon funding of the commitment consists
     primarily of residential and commercial real estate.

16.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED:

     LITIGATION

     The Company is involved in various litigation arising from an acquired
     entity as well as in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
     management, the ultimate liability, if any, from these actions will not be
     material to the consolidated financial statements.


17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     The assumptions used in estimating fair values were based upon subjective
     assessments of market conditions and perceived risks of the financial
     instruments at a certain point in time.  The fair value estimates can be
     subject to significant variability with changes in assumptions.
     Furthermore, these fair value estimates do not reflect any premium or
     discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's
     entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor are the tax
     ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses
     permitted to be considered in the estimation of fair value.  In addition,
     fair value estimates are based solely on existing on- and off-balance sheet
     financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of
     anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that
     are not considered financial instruments.  Examples would include
     portfolios of loans serviced for others, investments in real estate,
     premises and equipment, and deferred tax assets.  Fair value estimates,
     methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial
     instruments.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair
     value.

     DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     Fair values for U.S. Government and agency obligations, equity securities
     and mortgage-backed securities are based on quoted market prices.

     LOANS HELD FOR SALE

     Fair values of loans held for sale are estimated based on outstanding
     commitments from investors or current market prices for similar loans.

     LOANS RECEIVABLE

     Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
     characteristics.  Mortgage loans are segregated by type, including but not
     limited to residential, commercial and construction.  Consumer loans are
     segregated by type, including but not limited to home improvement loans,
     automobile loans, loans secured by deposits and secured and unsecured
     personal loans.  Each loan category may be segmented, as appropriate, into
     fixed and adjustable interest rate terms, ranges of interest rates,
     performing and nonperforming, and repricing frequency.

17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED:

     LOANS RECEIVABLE, CONTINUED

     For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential
     mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for
     securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan
     characteristics.  The fair values of other types of loans are estimated by
     discounting the future scheduled and unscheduled cash flows using the
     current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
     similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  Unscheduled
     cash flows take the form of estimated prepayments and may be based upon
     historical experience as well as anticipated experience derived from
     current and prospective economic and interest rate environments.  For
     certain types of loans, anticipated prepayment experience exists in
     published tables from securities dealers.

     The fair value of significant nonperforming mortgage loans is based on
     estimated value of the collateral.  Where appraisals are not available,
     estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the
     credit risk associated with those cash flows.  Assumptions regarding credit
     risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using
     available market information and specific borrower information. The fair
     value of nonperforming consumer loans is based on historical experience
     with such loans.

     FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK

     The fair value of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas is
     estimated to be equal to its carrying amount given it is not a publicly
     traded equity security, it has an adjustable dividend rate, and
     transactions in the stock have been executed at the stated par value.

     DEPOSITS AND ADVANCES FROM BORROWERS FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as interest-
     bearing or non-interest-bearing checking accounts, passbook and statement
     savings accounts, money market accounts and advances from borrowers for
     taxes and insurance is equal to the amount payable upon demand.  The fair
     value of certificates of deposit is based on the lower of redemption or
     discounted value of contractual cash flows.  Discount rates for
     certificates of deposit are estimated using current market rates.

     BORROWINGS AND CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

     Borrowings include the ESOP debt, the amortizing FHLB advance and
     convertible subordinated debentures.  The estimated fair value of the ESOP
     debt, FHLB advance and convertible subordinated debentures is based upon
     the discounted value of the differences between contractual interest rates
     and current market rates for similar agreements.

     ACCRUED INTEREST

     The fair values of accrued interest approximates their carrying values.

17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED:

     OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees
     currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
     remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
     counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers
     the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed
     rates.  The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees
     currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to
     terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties
     at the reporting date.

     The fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments is estimated to
     equal the carrying amount at March 31, 1998 and 1997.

     The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments are
     as follows:
