FIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, a Texas corporation and
a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, or BHCA, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc.; First Financial
Investments of Delaware, Inc.; First Financial Bank, National Association, Abilene, Texas; First
Financial Bank, Hereford, Texas; First Financial Bank, National Association, Sweetwater, Texas;
First Financial Bank, National Association, Eastland, Texas; First Financial Bank, National
Association, Cleburne, Texas; First Financial Bank, National Association, Stephenville, Texas;
First Financial Bank, National Association, San Angelo, Texas; First Financial Bank, National
Association, Weatherford, Texas; First Financial Bank, National Association, Southlake, Texas;
First Financial Bank, National Association, Mineral Wells, Texas; First Technology Services, Inc.;
First Financial Trust & Asset Management Company, National Association; First Financial
Investments, Inc.; and First Financial Insurance Agency, Inc.
Through our subsidiary banks, we conduct a full-service commercial banking business. Our service
centers are located primarily in North Central and West Texas. Considering the branches and
locations of all our bank subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2010, we had 50 financial centers across
Texas, with ten locations in Abilene, two locations in Cleburne, three locations in Stephenville,
three locations in Granbury, two locations in San Angelo, three locations in Weatherford, and one
location each in Mineral Wells, Hereford, Sweetwater, Eastland, Ranger, Rising Star, Southlake,
Aledo, Willow Park, Brock, Alvarado, Burleson, Keller, Trophy Club, Boyd, Bridgeport, Decatur,
Roby, Trent, Merkel, Clyde, Moran, Albany, Midlothian, Glen Rose, Odessa and Fort Worth. Our
trust subsidiary has six locations in Abilene, San Angelo, Stephenville, Sweetwater, Fort Worth and
Odessa, all in Texas.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position and unaudited
results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial
statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2009. All adjustments were of a
normal recurring nature. However, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2010, due to seasonality, changes in economic conditions and loan credit quality, interest rate
fluctuations, regulatory and legislative changes and other factors. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or
omitted under SEC rules and regulations. The Company evaluated subsequent events for potential
recognition and/or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment as of the end of the
second quarter. No such impairment has been noted in connection with these evaluations.
Note 2 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. In computing
diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company
assumes that all dilutive outstanding options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the
beginning of the period (or the time of issuance, if later). The dilutive effect of the outstanding
options is reflected by application of the treasury stock method, whereby the proceeds from the
exercised options are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market
price during the respective periods. The
9
weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic earnings per common share for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were 20,834,972 and 20,801,681 shares
respectively. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing fully diluted
earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were 20,867,778 and
20,847,967, respectively.

The Company invests in mortgage-backed securities that have expected maturities that differ
from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to
call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty. These securities include
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other asset backed securities. The expected
maturities of these securities at March 31, 2010, were computed by using scheduled amortization of
balances and historical prepayment rates. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not hold any
CMOs that entail higher risks than standard mortgage-backed securities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2010, by contractual
and expected maturity, are shown below (in thousands):

The number of investment positions in this unrealized loss position totaled 66 at March 31,
2010. We do not believe these unrealized losses are other than temporary as (1) we do not have
the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (2) it is more likely than
not that we will not have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity. The unrealized
losses noted are interest rate related due to the level of interest rates at March 31, 2010. We
have reviewed the ratings of the issuers and have not identified any issues related to the ultimate
repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities. Our mortgage related
securities are backed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC or are collateralized by securities backed by these
agencies.
As of March 31, 2009, trading securities totaled $93.2 million. No amounts were held in trading
securities at March 31, 2010. The trading securities portfolio is a government securities money
market fund comprised primarily of U.S. government agency securities and repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. government agency securities. The trading securities are carried at
estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company invested
in trading securities in 2008 to improve its yield on daily funds and to lower its exposure on
Federal funds. However, due to significantly lower interest rates, the Company has deployed these
funds into our investment portfolio and into certificates of deposit at unaffiliated banks.

The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 and December 31, 2009, is presented
below. The level of the allowance reflects our periodic evaluation of general economic conditions,
the financial condition of our borrowers, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquencies,
prior loan loss experience, and the results of periodic reviews of the portfolio by our independent
loan review department and regulatory examiners. Management has evaluated the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses by estimating the probable losses in various categories of the loan
portfolio, which are identified below (in thousands):

Note 5 Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $4.7 million for the first quarter in 2010 as compared to $5.0 million for
the same period in 2009. Our effective tax rates on pretax income were 25.5% and 26.9% for the
first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory
federal tax rate of 35% largely due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment
securities and loans, the deductibility of dividends paid to our employee stock ownership plan and
Texas state taxes.
13
The decreases in the effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 over the
same period in 2009 were largely the result of an increase in tax exempt income.
Note 6 Stock Based Compensation
The Company grants incentive stock options for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price
equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant to employees. No stock options have been
granted in 2010. In May 2009, the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase 101,600
shares of Company common stock with an exercise price of $50.33 per share. The fair value of the
options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.24%; expected dividend yield of 2.66%;
expected life of 5.79 years; and expected volatility of 41.64%.
The Company recorded stock option expense totaling approximately $95 thousand and $66 thousand,
respectively, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
The additional disclosure requirements under authoritative accounting guidance have been omitted
due to immateriality.
Note 7 Pension Plan
The Companys defined benefit pension plan was frozen effective January 1, 2004, whereby no
additional years of service will accrue to participants, unless the pension plan is reinstated at a
future date. The pension plan covered substantially all of the Companys employees. The benefits
for each employee were based on years of service and a percentage of the employees qualifying
compensation during the final years of employment. The Companys funding policy was and is to
contribute annually the amount necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Services funding
standards. Contributions to the pension plan, prior to freezing the plan, were intended to provide
not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the
future. As a result of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Protection Act), the Company will
be required to contribute amounts in future years to fund any shortfalls. The Company evaluated
the provisions of the Protection Act as well as the Internal Revenue Services funding standards
to develop a preliminary plan for funding in future years. The Company made a
contribution totaling $1.0 million in March 2010 and $1.4 million in April 2009 and continues to
evaluate future funding amounts.
Net periodic benefit costs totaling $100 thousand and $80 thousand were recorded, respectively, for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Note 8 Recently Issued Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to improve the information a reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about transfers of financial assets, including the effect of a
transfer on an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows and the
transferors continuing involvement in the transferred assets. The guidance eliminates the concept
of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the guidance for evaluation for consolidation.
This guidance became effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance expanding disclosures related to fair value
measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between
Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for
transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with
significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between
levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of
assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information
about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. The new guidance further clarifies that (i)
fair value measurement disclosures should be provided for each class of assets and liabilities
(rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a
line item in the statement of financial position and (ii) disclosures should be provided about the
valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair
value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in Levels 2 and 3 of the fair
value hierarchy. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be
required beginning January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made
by the new guidance became effective on January 1, 2010.
Note 9 Fair Value Disclosures
The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in
the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The
price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or
liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction
that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for
marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and
liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the
principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv)
willing to transact.
The authoritative accounting guidance requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent
with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses
prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or
comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future
amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The
cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service
capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied.
Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on
market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the
reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
pricing the
15
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that
regard, the authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that
gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Inputs Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means. Level 2 investments consist primarily of obligations of U.S. government sponsored
enterprises and agencies, obligations of state and municipal subdivisions, corporate bonds
and mortgage backed securities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Inputs Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entitys own
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair
value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation
hierarchy, is set forth below.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market
prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use,
as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that
financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Companys valuation
methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different
methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could
result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities classified as available for sale and trading are reported at fair value utilizing Level
1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an
independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include
dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the United States Treasury (the Treasury) yield curve,
live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information
and the securitys terms and conditions, among other things.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but
are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence
of impairment). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis include the following at March 31, 2010:
Impaired Loans Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral
if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using
Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 input based on the discounting of
the collateral. At March 31, 2010, impaired loans with a carrying value of $16.9 million
were reduced by specific valuation allowances totaling $3.4 million resulting in a net fair
value of $13.5 million, based on Level 3 inputs.
Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value.
In determining whether the fair value of loans held for sale is less than cost when quoted
market prices are not available, the Company considers investor commitments/contracts.
These loans are considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2010, the
Companys mortgage loans held for sale were recorded at cost as fair value exceeded cost.
Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
and non-recurring basis include other real estate owned, goodwill and other intangible assets and
other non-financial long-lived assets. Such amounts were not significant to the Company at March
31, 2010.
The Company is required under authoritative accounting guidance to disclose the estimated fair
value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities including those subject to the
requirements discussed above. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, substantially
all of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments, as defined. Many of the
Companys financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a
willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction.
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize
in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
17
In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the
wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the
absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform
valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair
values.
Financial instruments with stated maturities have been valued using a present value discounted cash
flow with a discount rate approximating current market for similar assets and liabilities.
Financial instrument liabilities with no stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to
both the amount payable on demand and the carrying value.
The carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Companys contractual off-balance-sheet
unfunded lines of credit, loan commitments and letters of credit, which are generally priced at
market at the time of funding, are not material.
The estimated fair values and carrying values of all financial instruments under current
authoritative guidance at March 31, 2010, were as follows (in thousands):

Introduction
As a multi-bank financial holding company, we generate most of our revenue from interest on loans
and investments, trust fees, and service charges. Our primary source of funding for our loans and
investments are deposits held by our subsidiary banks. Our largest expenses are interest on these
deposits and salaries and related employee benefits. We usually measure our performance by
calculating our return on average assets, return on average equity, our regulatory leverage and
risk based capital ratios, and our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest
expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income.
The following discussion of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q as well as
those included in the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare consolidated financial statements based on the selection of certain accounting policies,
generally accepted accounting principles and customary practices in the banking industry. These
policies, in certain areas, require us to make significant estimates and assumptions.
We deem a policy critical if (1) the accounting estimate required us to make assumptions about
matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimate; and (2) different
estimates that reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting
estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on
the financial statements.
The following discussion addresses (1) our allowance for loan losses and our provision for loan
losses and (2) our valuation of securities, which we deem to be our most critical accounting
policies. We have other significant accounting policies and continue to evaluate the materiality
of their impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we believe these other policies
either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are difficult or
subjective, or it is less likely they would have a material impact on our reported results for a
given period.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount we believe will be adequate
to absorb probable losses on existing loans in which full collectibility is unlikely based upon our
review and evaluation of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges
to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).
Our methodology is based on current authoritative accounting guidance, including guidance from the
SEC. We also follow the guidance of the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan
and Lease Losses, issued jointly by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the
Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the National Credit Union Administration and the Office of Thrift
Supervision. We have developed a loan review methodology that includes allowances assigned to
certain classified loans, allowances assigned based upon estimated loss factors and qualitative
reserves. The level of the allowance reflects our periodic evaluation of general economic
conditions, the financial condition of our borrowers, the value and liquidity of collateral,
delinquencies, prior loan loss experience, and the results of periodic reviews of the portfolio by
our independent loan review department and regulatory examiners.
20
Our allowance for loan losses is comprised of three elements: (i) specific reserves determined in
accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance based on probable losses on specific
classified loans; (ii) general reserves determined in accordance with current authoritative
accounting guidance that consider historical loss rates; and (iii) a qualitative reserve determined
in accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance based upon general economic conditions
and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. We regularly
evaluate our allowance for loan losses to maintain an adequate level to absorb estimated probable
loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of specific
reserves include the credit-worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral,
and general economic conditions. All classified loans are specifically reviewed and a specific
allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans. For purposes
of determining the general reserve, the loan portfolio less cash secured loans, government
guaranteed loans and classified loans is multiplied by the Companys historical loss rates. The
qualitative reserves are determined by evaluating such things as current economic conditions and
trends, including unemployment, changes in lending staff, policies or procedures, changes in credit
concentrations, changes in the trends and severity of problem loans and changes in trends in volume
and terms of loans.
Although we believe we use the best information available to make loan loss allowance
determinations, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making our initial determinations. A further
downturn in the economy and employment could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and
charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in income. Additionally, as an integral
part of their examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for
loan losses. The bank regulatory agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan
loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic
and business conditions and collection efforts, the borrowers financial condition is such that
collection of principal and interest is doubtful.
Our policy requires measurement of the allowance for an impaired collateral dependent loan based on
the fair value of the collateral. Other loan impairments are measured based on the present value
of expected future cash flows or the loans observable market price.
Valuation of Securities. The Company records its available-for-sale and trading securities
portfolio at fair value.
Fair values of these securities are determined based on methodologies in accordance with current
authoritative accounting guidance. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of
factors, including market interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, credit ratings and
yield curves. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on the quoted prices
of similar instruments or an estimate of fair value by using a range of fair value estimates in the
market place as a result of the illiquid market specific to the type of security.
21
When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time
the condition exists and the extent the fair value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is
performed to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment condition exists.
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible
other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers (i) whether we have the intent to sell our
securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that we
will have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity. Often, the information
available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair
value subject to judgment. If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the
extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could
have a material effect on the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
Results of Operations
Performance Summary. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2010 were $13.7 million, virtually
unchanged from the same period in 2009.
Basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 were unchanged from the same quarter last
year at $0.66. The return on average assets was 1.68% for the first quarter of 2010, as compared to
1.76% for the same quarter of 2009. The return on average equity was 13.30% for the first quarter
of 2010 as compared to 14.59% for the same quarter of 2009.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning
assets and interest expense on liabilities incurred to fund those assets. Our earning assets
consist primarily of loans and investment securities. Our liabilities to fund those assets consist
primarily of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits.
Tax-equivalent net interest income was $35.2 million for the first quarter of 2010, as compared to
$34.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in 2010 compared to 2009 was largely
attributable to (i) the decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in an amount
greater than the decrease in rates earned on interest earning assets and (ii) an increase in the
volume of earning assets. Average earning assets increased $139.9 million for the first quarter of
2010 over the same period in 2009. Average short-term investments and average tax exempt securities
increased $187.4 million and $54.6 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010 over the
first quarter of 2009, offsetting a decrease of $73.8 million in average loans. Average interest
bearing liabilities increased $69.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the same
period in 2009. The yield on earning assets and rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities both
decreased 29 basis points in the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to the effects of lower
interest rates.
22

attributable to volume and to rate.

The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2010 was 4.69%, a decrease of seven basis
points from the same period in 2009. The decrease is largely the result of the extended period of
low short-term interest rates. The target Federal funds rate was reduced to a range of 0 to 25
basis points in December 2008. The low level of interest rates has reduced the yields on our
short-term investments and investment securities as the proceeds from maturing investment
securities have been invested at lower rates.
23
The net interest margin, which measures tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of
average earning assets, is illustrated in Table 2.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2010 was $11.1 million, a
decrease of $426 thousand, or 3.7%, as compared to the same period in 2009. In the first quarter
of 2009, we recorded a gain of $616 thousand on the sale of approximately $73.7 million in student
loans, approximately 86% of our student loan portfolio. The Company suspended its student loan
origination activities as a result of changes mandated by the Department of Education and Congress which
moved the Student Loan program into direct lending with the government. At December 31, 2009, the
Company held no student loans and had no student loan transactions in the first quarter of 2010.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2009 also included a $249,000 net gain on securities
transactions compared to only $1 thousand in the first quarter of 2010.
24
Partially offsetting
these decreases were an increase in trust fees of $409 thousand and an increase of $302 thousand in
ATM and credit card fees primarily as a result of increased use of debit cards. The increase in
trust fees reflects the increase in the market values of the equity investments under management
and higher oil and gas prices, plus an increase in assets under management over the prior year.
The fair value of our trust assets managed, which are not reflected in our consolidated balance
sheet, totaled $2.1 billion at March 31, 2010 as compared to $1.9 billion for the same date in
2009.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2010 was $23.3
million, an increase of $390 thousand, or 1.7%, as compared to the same period in 2009. An
important measure in determining whether a banking company effectively manages noninterest expenses
is the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net
interest income on a tax-equivalent basis and noninterest income. Lower ratios indicate better
efficiency since more income is generated with a lower noninterest expense total. Our efficiency
ratio for the first quarter of 2010 was 50.36% compared to 50.22% for the same period in 2009.
Salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $12.7 million, an increase of
$665 thousand, or 5.5%, as compared to 2009. The increase was largely the result of an increase in
employee medical insurance expense and profit sharing plan expense.
25
All other categories of noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $10.7 million, a
decrease of $274 thousand, or 2.5%, as compared to the same period in 2009. Equipment expense
decreased $102 thousand primarily as a result of a lower level of depreciation charges.
Correspondent bank service charges decreased $121 thousand as a result of an increase in
compensating balances maintained with upstream correspondent banks. Partially offsetting these decreases
was an increase in advertising expense of $155 thousand. The increase in advertising expense
reflected marketing efforts to capitalize on our being recognized in January 2010 as the
best-performing bank in the nation in the $3 billion-plus publicly traded category by Bank Director
Magazine.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $4.7 million for the first quarter in 2010 as compared
to $5.0 million for the same period in 2009. Our effective tax rates on pretax income were 25.5%
and 26.9% for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates differ
from the statutory federal tax rate of 35% largely due to tax exempt interest income earned on
certain investment securities and loans, the deductibility of dividends paid to our employee stock
ownership plan and Texas state taxes.
The decreases in the effective tax rates for the first quarter period ended March 31, 2010 over the
same periods in 2009 were largely the result of an increase in tax exempt income.
Balance Sheet Review
Loans. Our portfolio is comprised of loans made to businesses, professionals, individuals, and
farm and ranch operations located in the primary trade areas served by our subsidiary banks. Real
estate loans represent loans primarily for new home construction and owner-occupied real estate.
The structure of loans in the real estate mortgage classification generally provides repricing
intervals to minimize the interest rate risk inherent in long-term fixed rate loans. As of March
31, 2010, total loans were $1.50 billion, an increase of $19.4 million, as compared to March 31,
2009. As compared to March 31, 2009, commercial, financial and agricultural loans decreased $2.9
million, real estate construction loans decreased $63.0 million, real estate mortgage loans
increased $109.1 million, and consumer loans decreased $23.7 million. Loans averaged $1.49 billion
during the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $73.8 million from the prior year average balances.

At March 31, 2010, our real estate loans represent approximately 58.1% of our loan portfolio and
are comprised of (i) commercial real estate loans of 33.9%, generally owner occupied, (ii) 1-4
family residence loans of 34.2%, (iii) residential development and construction loans of 8.3%,
which includes our custom and speculation home construction loans, (iv) commercial development and
construction loans of 3.9% and (v) other loans of 19.7%.
Asset Quality. Loan portfolios of each of our subsidiary banks are subject to periodic reviews by
our centralized independent loan review group as well as periodic examinations by state and federal
bank regulatory agencies. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of
management, the collectibility of principal or interest under the original terms becomes doubtful.
Nonperforming assets, which are comprised of nonperforming loans, loans still accruing and past due
90 days or more and foreclosed assets, were $22.5 million at March 31, 2010, as compared to $14.1
million at March 31, 2009. As a percent of loans and foreclosed assets, nonperforming assets were
1.50% at March 31,
27
2010, as compared to 0.95% at March 31, 2009. The increased level of nonperforming assets is a
result of a slowing real estate market and national recession.

The majority of our nonaccrual loans are in our bank subsidiaries closer to the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex where we have experienced more credit deterioration in our loan portfolio. The major
categories of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2010 are (i) 1-4 family residences (47.0%), (ii)
ranches (18.5%) and (iii) lots for development (19.6%).
We record interest payments received on impaired loans as interest income unless collections of the
remaining recorded investment are placed on nonaccrual, at which time we record payments received
as reductions of principal. Interest income amounts related to these non-accrual loans were not
significant for the first quarter periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount we determine
as of a specific date to be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans in which full
collectability is unlikely based on our review and evaluation of the loan portfolio. For a
discussion of our methodology, see Critical Accounting Policies Allowance for Loan Losses
earlier in this section. The provision for loan losses was $2.0 million for the first quarter of
2010, as compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2009. The increase in the provision in
2010 was due to concern for the continuing national recession and a higher level of nonperforming
assets. As a percent of average loans, net loan charge-offs were 0.24% for the first quarter of
2010 compared to 0.17% during the first quarter of 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percent
of loans was 1.92% as of March 31, 2010, as compared to 1.53% as of March 31, 2009. Included in
Table 7 is further analysis of our allowance for loan losses compared to charge-offs.
28
Although we believe we use the best information available to make loan loss allowance
determinations, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making our initial determinations. The current
downturn in the economy or higher unemployment could result in increased levels of nonperforming
assets and charge-offs and increased loan loss provisions, with corresponding reductions in net
income. Additionally, as an integral part of their examination process, bank regulatory agencies
periodically review the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. The banking agencies could
require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of
information available to them at the time of their examination.

|
The ratio of our allowance to nonaccrual, past due 90 days still accruing and restructured
loans has trended downward since 2007, as the economic conditions began to worsen. Although the
ratio declined substantially in 2010 and 2009 from prior years when net charge-offs and
nonperforming asset levels were historically low, management believes the allowance for loan losses
is adequate at March 31, 2010 in spite of these trends.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks. As of March 31, 2010, our interest-bearing deposits were
$192.8 million compared with $2.6 million and $167.3 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31,
2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010, interest-bearing deposits in banks included $80.0 million
invested in FDIC-insured certificates of deposit, $66.6 million invested in money market accounts
at a nonaffiliated regional bank, and $44.9 million maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas. The increase in our interest-bearing deposits in banks was the result of several factors;
including relatively flat loan demand, cash flows from maturing investment securities and a growth in deposits.
Trading Securities. As of March 31, 2009, trading securities totaled $93.2 million. No amounts
were held in trading securities at March 31, 2010. The trading securities portfolio is a
government securities money market fund comprised primarily of U.S. government agency securities
and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government agency securities. The trading
securities are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings. The Company invested in trading securities in 2009 to improve its yield on daily funds
and to lower its exposure on Federal funds. However, due to significantly lower interest rates,
the Company has deployed these funds into our investment portfolio and into certificates of deposits at unaffiliated banks.
Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities. At March 31, 2010, securities with an
amortized cost of $11.5 million were classified as securities held-to-maturity and securities with
a fair value of $1.40 billion were classified as securities available-for-sale. As compared to
December 31, 2009, the available for sale portfolio, carried at fair value, at March 31, 2010,
reflected (i) an increase of $93.8 million in U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S.
government sponsored-enterprises and agencies, (ii) an increase of $14.7 million in obligations of
states and political subdivisions, (iii) a $14.1 million decrease in corporate and other bonds, and
(iv) a $31.8 million increase in mortgage-backed securities. Our mortgage related securities are
backed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC or are collateralized by securities guaranteed by these agencies.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, sales of investment securities that were
classified as available-for-sale totaled $3.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Gross
realized gains from 2010 and 2009 securities sales totaled $1 thousand and $249 thousand,
respectively. There were no losses on securities sales during these periods. The specific
identification method was used to determine cost on computing the realized gains.

All yields are computed on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a marginal tax rate of 35%. Yields
on available-for-sale securities are based on amortized cost. Maturities of mortgage-backed
securities are based on contractual maturities and could differ due to prepayments of underlying
mortgages. Maturities of other securities are reported at the sooner of maturity date or call
date.

The number of investment positions in this unrealized loss position totaled 66 at March 31,
2010. We do not believe these unrealized losses are other than temporary as (i) we do not have
the intent to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) it is more likely than
not that we will not have to sell our securities prior to recovery and/or maturity. The unrealized
losses noted are interest rate related due to the level of interest rates at March 31, 2010. We
have reviewed the ratings of the issuers and have not identified any issues related to the ultimate
repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities. Our mortgage related
securities are guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC or are collateralized by securities backed by
these agencies.
As of March 31, 2010, the investment portfolio had an overall tax equivalent yield of 4.75%, a
weighted average life of 3.74 years and modified duration of 3.28 years.
Deposits. Deposits held by subsidiary banks represent our primary source of funding. Total
deposits were $2.69 billion as of March 31, 2010, as compared to $2.52 billion as of March 31,
2009. Table 11 provides a breakdown of average deposits and rates paid for the first quarters of
2010 and 2009.

Short-Term Borrowings. Included in short-term borrowings were federal funds purchased and
securities sold under repurchase agreements of $171.4 million and $150.2 million at March 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally with significant
customers that require short-term liquidity for their funds which we pledge our securities that
have a fair value equal to at least the amount of the short-term borrowing. The average balance of
federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements was $173.8 million and
$231.2 million in the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The average rates paid on
federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements were 0.38% and 0.46% for
the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Capital Resources
We evaluate capital resources by our ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios to do
business in the banking industry. Issues related to capital resources arise primarily when we are
growing at an accelerated rate but not retaining a significant amount of our profits or when we
experience significant asset quality deterioration.
Total shareholders equity was $423.8 million, or 12.64% of total assets, at March 31, 2010, as
compared to $381.5 million, or 12.22% of total assets, at March 31, 2009. Included in shareholders
equity at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, were $37.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively, in
unrealized gains on investment securities available-for-sale, net of related income taxes. During
the first quarter of 2010, total shareholders equity averaged $418.3 million, or 12.65% of average
assets, as compared to $380.8 million, or 12.04% of average assets, during the same period in 2009.
Banking regulators measure capital adequacy by means of the risk-based capital ratio and leverage
ratio. The risk-based capital rules provide for the weighting of assets and off-balance-sheet
commitments and contingencies according to prescribed risk categories ranging from 0% to 100%.
Regulatory capital is then divided by risk-weighted assets to determine the risk-adjusted capital
ratios. The leverage ratio is computed by dividing shareholders equity less intangible assets by
quarter-to-date average assets less intangible assets. Regulatory minimums for total risk-based
and leverage ratios are 8.00% and 3.00%, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, our total risk-based
and leverage capital ratios were 19.28% and 10.50%, respectively, as compared to total risk-based
and leverage capital ratios of 18.05% and 10.01% as of March 31, 2009. We believe by all
measurements our capital ratios remain well above regulatory requirements to be considered well
capitalized by the regulators.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. Our exposure to interest
rate risk is managed primarily through our strategy of selecting the types and terms of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that generate favorable earnings while
limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. We use no
off-balance-sheet financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risk.
Each of our subsidiary banks has an asset liability management committee that monitors interest
rate risk and compliance with investment policies; there is also a holding company-wide committee
that monitors the aggregate Companys interest rate risk and compliance with investment policies.
The Company and each subsidiary bank utilize an earnings simulation model as the primary
quantitative tool in measuring the amount of interest rate risk associated with changing market
rates. The model quantifies the effects of various interest rate scenarios on projected net
interest income and net income over the next twelve months. The model measures the impact on net
interest income relative to a base case scenario of hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates
over the next twelve months. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet
growth and mix, pricing and the repricing and maturity characteristics of the existing and
projected balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2010, the model simulations projected that 100 and 200 basis point increases in
interest rates would result in positive variances in net interest income of 0.12% and 1.08%,
respectively, relative to the base case over the next twelve months, while decreases in interest
rates of 50 basis points would result in a positive variance in a net interest income of 0.11%
relative to the base case over the next twelve months. The likelihood of a decrease in interest
rates beyond 50 basis points as of March 31, 2010 is considered remote given current interest
rate levels. These are good faith estimates and assume that the composition of our interest
sensitive assets and liabilities existing at each year-end will remain constant over the relevant
twelve month measurement period and that changes in market interest rates are instantaneous and
sustained across the yield curve regardless of duration of pricing characteristics of specific
assets or liabilities. Also, this analysis does not contemplate any actions that we might
undertake in response to changes in market interest rates. We believe these estimates are not
necessarily indicative of what actually could occur in the event of immediate interest
rate increases or decreases of this magnitude. As interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice
in different time frames and proportions to market interest rate movements, various assumptions
must be made based on historical relationships of these variables in reaching any conclusion.
Since these correlations are based on competitive and market conditions, we anticipate that our
future results will likely be different from the foregoing estimates, and such differences could be
material.
Should we be unable to maintain a reasonable balance of maturities and repricing of our
interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities, we could be required to dispose of
our assets in an unfavorable manner or pay a higher than market rate to fund our activities. Our
asset liability committees oversee and monitor this risk.

Liquidity
Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Such needs can develop from loan
demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations resulting from the
issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan
customers are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore the total commitment amounts
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position. The
potential need for liquidity arising from these types of financial instruments is represented by
the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets
which are readily marketable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash,
federal funds sold, and short-term investments in time deposits in banks. Liquidity is also
provided by access to funding sources, which include core depositors and correspondent banks that
maintain accounts with and sell federal funds to our subsidiary banks. Other sources of funds
include our ability to borrow from short-term sources, such as purchasing federal funds from
correspondents and sales of securities under agreements to repurchase, which amounted to $189.1
million at March 31, 2010, and an unfunded $25.0 million line of credit established with a
nonaffiliated bank which matures on June 30, 2011. First Financial Bank, N. A., Abilene also has
federal funds purchased lines of credit with two non-affiliated banks totaling $60.0 million. No
amount was outstanding at March 31, 2010.
On December 30, 2009, we renewed our loan agreement, effective December 31, 2009, with The Frost
National Bank. Under the loan agreement, as renewed and amended, we are permitted to draw up to
$25.0 million on a revolving line of credit. Prior to June 30, 2011, interest is paid quarterly at
Wall Street Journal Prime, and the line of credit matures June 30, 2011. If a balance exists at
June 30, 2011, the principal balance converts to a term facility payable quarterly over five years
and interest is paid quarterly at our election at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 50 basis points or
LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The line of credit is unsecured. Among other provisions in the credit
agreement, we must satisfy certain financial covenants during the term of the loan agreement,
including, without limitation, covenants that require us to maintain certain capital, tangible net
worth, loan loss reserve, non-performing asset and cash flow coverage ratio. In addition, the
credit agreement contains certain operational covenants, that among others, restricts the payment
of dividends above 55% of consolidated net income, limits the incurrence of debt (excluding any
amounts acquired in an acquisition) and prohibits the disposal of assets except in the ordinary
course of business. Management believes the Company was in compliance with financial covenants at
March 31, 2010. Since 1995, we have historically declared dividends as a percentage of our
consolidated net income in a range of 37% (low) in 1995 to 53% (high) in 2003 and 2006. There was
no outstanding balance under the line of credit as of March 31, 2010, or December 31, 2009.
Given the strong core deposit base, relatively low loan to deposit ratios maintained at our
subsidiary banks and dividend capacity of our subsidiary banks we consider our current liquidity
position to be adequate to meet our short- and long-term liquidity needs.
In addition, we anticipate that any future acquisition of financial institutions, expansion of
branch locations or offering of new products could also place a demand on our cash resources.
Available cash at our parent company, which totaled $44.6 million at March 31, 2010, investment
securities which totaled $14.1 million (of which 62% matures within two years and the remaining
portion in 12 years), available dividends from subsidiary banks which totaled $37.1 million at
March 31, 2010, utilization of available lines of credit, and future debt or equity offerings are
expected to be the source of funding for these potential acquisitions or expansions. Existing cash
resources at our subsidiary banks may also be used as a source of funding for these potential
acquisitions or expansions.
36
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial
instruments include unfunded lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and federal funds sold
and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in our consolidated balance sheets.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial
instrument for unfunded lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. We generally use the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
Unfunded lines of credit and 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. These commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each
customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, as we deem
necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and
equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The average collateral value
held on letters of credit usually exceeds the contract amount.

We believe we have no other off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with
unconsolidated, special purpose entities that would expose us to liability that is not reflected on
the face of the financial statements.
Parent Company Funding. Our ability to fund various operating expenses, dividends, and cash
acquisitions is generally dependent on our own earnings (without giving effect to our
subsidiaries), cash reserves and funds derived from our subsidiary banks. These funds historically
have been produced by intercompany dividends and management fees that are limited to reimbursement
of actual expenses. We anticipate that our recurring cash sources will continue to include
dividends and management fees from our subsidiary banks. At March 31, 2010, approximately $37.1
million was available for the payment of intercompany dividends by the subsidiaries without the
prior approval of regulatory agencies.
Dividends. Our long-term dividend policy is to pay cash dividends to our shareholders of between
40% and 55% of net earnings while maintaining adequate capital to support growth. The cash
dividend payout ratios have amounted to 51.7% and 51.6% of net earnings, respectively, for the
first quarter of 2010 and the same period in 2009. Given our current capital position and
projected earnings and asset growth rates, we do not anticipate any significant change in our
current dividend policy.
37
Each state bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and each national banking
association is required by federal law to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
and the OCC, respectively, to declare and pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared in
any calendar year would exceed the total of (1) such banks net profits (as defined and interpreted
by regulation) for that year plus (2) its retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by
regulation) for the preceding two calendar years, less any required transfers to surplus. In
addition, these banks may only pay dividends to the extent that retained net profits (including the
portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation).
To pay dividends, we and our subsidiary banks must maintain adequate capital above regulatory
guidelines. In addition, if the applicable regulatory authority believes that a bank under its
jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending
on the financial condition of the bank, could include the payment of dividends), the authority may
require, after notice and hearing, that such bank cease and desist from the unsafe practice. The
Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC have each indicated that paying dividends that deplete
a banks capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The
Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC have issued policy statements that recommend that bank
holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating
earnings. In addition, under the Texas Finance Code, a Texas banking association may not pay a
dividend that would reduce its outstanding capital and surplus unless it obtains approval of the
Texas Banking Commissioner.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk for the Company. See Item
2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital
Resources Interest Rate Risk for disclosure regarding this market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management, which includes our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints; additionally, the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and
that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based, in part,
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, controls may
38
become inadequate due to changes in conditions; also the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded based on our evaluation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined, under Rule 13a-15
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March
31, 2010.
Subsequent to our evaluation, there were no significant changes in internal controls or other
factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these
internal controls.
