                                                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                                      December 31, 2016 and 2015






               NOTE A         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

                              An entity is required to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is
                              more  likely  than  not  that  the  position  will  be  sustained  upon  examination.  The  Company
                              believes that all significant tax positions utilized by the Company will more likely than not be
                              sustained upon examination.  As of December 31, 2016, the tax years that remain subject to
                              examination  by  the  major  tax  jurisdictions  under  the  statute  of  limitations  are  from  2013
                              forward (with limited exceptions).  Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as
                              incurred and would be classified as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of
                              income and comprehensive income.

                              The Company is subject to Texas Margin Tax. Texas Margin Tax amounted to $48,000 and
                              $63,239 for years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

                              Intangible  Assets  -  Goodwill  amounting  to  $892,700  at  December 31,  2016  and 2015
                              represents the net fair value of consideration given  in excess of the fair value of the net
                              assets of a bank acquired in 1996. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and will be
                              tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that
                              would  indicate  the  carrying  value  may  be  impaired.  At  December  31,  2016  and  2015,
                              management  has  determined  that  goodwill,  net  of  amortization  accumulated  during  prior
                              years, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, was not impaired.

                              Trust Assets - Assets held by the Company’s trust department, other than cash resulting from
                              trust assets held on deposit at the Bank, are not assets of the Company and are therefore
                              not included in the consolidated balance sheets.

                              Treasury Stock - The Company has repurchased shares of its authorized and issued common
                              stock which is now held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes or
                              retirement.  At  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  held  189,421  treasury  shares
                              which  are  reflected  as  a  component  of  shareholders’  equity  on  the  accompanying
                              consolidated balance sheets.


                              Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation  –  Stock-based  compensation  is  recognized  as
                              compensation cost in the consolidated income statements based on the grant fair value on
                              the date of the grant.


                              Fair Value Measurements - U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
                              requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial
                              instruments are 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. These adjustments may include
                              amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the entity’s creditworthiness, among other
                              things,  as  well  as  unobservable  parameters.  Any  such  valuation  adjustments  are  applied
                              consistently over time.

                              The  Company  has  not  elected  to  account  for  any  financial  assets  or  liabilities  as  trading
                              instruments  for which  changes in market value would be recorded in the Company’s
                              consolidated statements of income.

                                                               14
