(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prosperity
Bancshares, Inc.(SM) (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First
Prosperity Bank(SM) (the "Bank") and Prosperity Holdings, Inc. These financial
statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Commercial Bancshares, Inc.,
a Texas corporation ("Commercial") with and into the Company which was effective
on February 23, 2001 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements
and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and with the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended, dated February 23, 2001. Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2001.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging
Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
value. Management believes the implementation of this pronouncement on January
1, 2001 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

4. RECENT MERGER ACTIVITY

On February 23, 2001, the Company completed the merger ("Merger") of
Commercial with and into the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of November 8, 2000 by and between the Company and
Commercial, each share of Commercial common stock outstanding as of the
effective time of the Merger was converted into 155 shares of the Company's
common stock. Based on this exchange ratio, a total of approximately 2,768,610
shares of the Company's common stock were issued to the shareholders of
Commercial. In addition, in lieu of issuing shares of Company common stock, cash
in the amount of $569,625 was paid to a dissenting shareholder in March 2001 and
cash in the amount of $97,650 was paid to a dissenting shareholder in May 2001.
Options to acquire 86 shares of Commercial common stock were converted into
options to acquire 13,330 shares of the Company's common stock. At December 31,
2000, Commercial had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $443.0 million,
total deposits of $399.3 million, total loans of $162.5 million and total
shareholders' equity of $27.7 million.

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a pooling of interests and
therefore the historical financial data of the Company has been restated to
include the accounts and operations of Commercial for all periods prior to the
merger date. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations-Overview."

Separate net interest income and net income amounts of the merged
entities are presented in the following table:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.(SM) (the "Company") is a registered financial
holding company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from
the operation of Prosperity Bank(SM) (the "Bank"). The Bank, which changed its
name from First Prosperity Bank(SM) on May 1, 2001, is a full-service bank that
provides a broad line of financial products and services to small and medium-
sized businesses and consumers through 29 full-service banking locations in the
greater Houston metropolitan area and thirteen contiguous counties situated
south and southwest of Houston and extending into South Texas.

Statements and financial discussion and analysis contained in the Form
10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve a number
of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

. changes in interest rates and market prices, which could reduce the
Company's net interest margins, asset valuations and expense expectations;

. changes in the levels of loan prepayments and the resulting effects on the
value of the Company's loan portfolio;

. changes in local economic and business conditions which adversely affect the
Company's customers and their ability to transact profitable business with
the company, including the ability of the Company's borrowers to repay their
loans according to their terms or a change in the value of the related
collateral;

. increased competition for deposits and loans adversely affecting rates and
terms;

. the timing, impact and other uncertainties of future acquisitions, including
the Company's ability to identify suitable future acquisition candidates, the
success or failure in the integration of their operations, and the ability to
enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

. increased credit risk in the Company's assets and increased operating risk
caused by a material change in commercial, consumer and/or real estate loans
as a percentage of the total loan portfolio;

. the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of and provisions
made to the allowance for credit losses;

. changes in the availability of funds resulting in increased costs or reduced
liquidity;

. increased asset levels and changes in the composition of assets and the
resulting impact on the Company's capital levels and regulatory capital
ratios;

. the Company's ability to acquire, operate and maintain cost effective and
efficient systems without incurring unexpectedly difficult or expensive but
necessary technological changes;

. the loss of senior management or operating personnel and the potential
inability to hire qualified personnel at reasonable compensation levels; and

. changes in statutes and government regulations or their interpretations
applicable to bank holding companies and the Company's present and future
banking and other subsidiaries, including changes in tax requirements and tax
rates.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

On February 23, 2001, the Company completed a merger with Commercial
Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Commercial"), whereby Commercial was
merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger,
Heritage Bank, Commercial's wholly owned subsidiary, was merged with and into
the Bank. Similar to its previous acquisitions, management believes that the
Merger will enable the Company to achieve certain economies of scale and savings
from the operation of the newly acquired banking offices as additional Banking
Centers. Heritage Bank, Commercial's wholly owned subsidiary, had 12 full-
service banking locations in the Houston metropolitan area and in three adjacent
counties, including Houston-Bellaire, Cleveland, Cypress, Fairfield, Houston-
Downtown, Houston-Medical Center, Houston-River Oaks/Galleria, Houston-
Tanglewood/Memorial, Houston-Waugh Drive, Liberty, Magnolia and Wharton.

As a result of the Merger, the holders of Commercial common stock received
155 shares of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value ("Common Stock") for
each share of Commercial common stock they owned at the effective time
("Effective Time") of the Merger. Based on this exchange ratio, the Company
issued an aggregate of 2,768,610 shares of its Common Stock in connection with
the Merger. In addition, in lieu of issuing shares of Company Common Stock,
cash in the amount of $569,625 was paid to a dissenting shareholder in March
2001 and cash in the amount of $97,650 was paid to a dissenting shareholder in
May 2001. The options to purchase shares of Commercial common stock which were
outstanding at the Effective Time were converted into options to purchase 13,330
shares of Company Common Stock. The converted options will be governed by the
original plans under which they were granted. In connection with this Merger,
the Company incurred approximately $2.4 million in pretax merger-related
expenses and other charges (the "Special Charge"). The transaction was
accounted for as a pooling interests and therefore the historical financial data
of the Company has been restated to include the accounts and operations of
Commercial for all periods prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.

Total assets were $1.17 billion at March 31, 2001 compared with $1.15
billion at December 31, 2000. Total loans increased to $418.6 million at
March 31, 2001 from $411.2 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $7.4
million, or 1.8%. Total deposits were $1.05 billion at March 31, 2001 compared
with $1.03 billion at December 31, 2000, a increase of $20.4 million, or 2.0%.
Shareholders' equity increased $1.6 million or 2.0%, to $81.9 million at
March 31, 2001 compared with $80.3 million at December 31, 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXCLUDING MERGER-RELATED EXPENSES

If the Company had not incurred the Special Charge of $2.4 million in
connection with the Merger, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001
would have been $3.2 million ($0.39 per common share on a diluted
basis) compared with $2.6 million ($0.32 per common share on a diluted basis)
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $632,000, or 24.2%. The
Company would have posted returns on average common equity of 15.79% and 15.83%,
returns on average assets of 1.12% and 1.02% and efficiency ratios of 58.07% and
62.01% for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS REPORTED

Net income available to common shareholders was $1.7 million ($0.20 per
common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared
with $2.6 million ($0.32 per common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $945,000, or 36.2%. The Company posted
returns on average common equity of 8.11% and 15.83% and returns on average
assets of 0.58% and 1.02% for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001
compared with $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$786,000, or 9.2%. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase in
average interest-earning assets to $1.07 billion for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 from $957.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$115.2 million, or 12.0%. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis
decreased to 3.65% from 3.67% for the same periods, principally due an increase
in interest bearing liabilities from $772.4 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 to $872.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of
$100,000, or 12.9%.

10
The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and
mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as
a "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-
earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed
funds, referred to as a "rate change." The following tables set forth, for each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the
average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and
the average rate earned or paid for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.
The tables also set forth the average rate paid on total interest-bearing
liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning
assets for the same periods.

Provision for Credit Losses

Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality and provides
specific loss provisions when necessary. Loans are charged-off against the
provision for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses
the best information available to make determinations with respect to the
provision for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations.

Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the total
allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the
Company based on such factors as historical loan loss experience, industry
diversification of the commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming
loans and related collateral, the volume growth and composition of the loan
portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to
pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through
the internal loan review function and other relevant factors.

The Company had no provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March
31, 2001 compared with $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2001, net recoveries were $74,000.

Noninterest Income

The Company's primary sources of noninterest income are service charges on
deposit accounts and other banking service related fees. Noninterest income
totaled $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared with
$1.8 million for the same period in 2000, an increase of $201,000, or 11.0%.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 compared with $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an
increase of $2.6 million, or 40.0%. The increase was primarily due to the $2.4
million in merger related expenses and other charges incurred during the Merger
with Commercial. These charges include closing costs, legal fees, accounting
fees, broker fees, employee related costs, and contract terminations. The
following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of
noninterest expense:

</TABLE>

Salaries and employee benefit expenses were $3.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2001 compared with $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2000, an increase of $145,000, or 4.5%. The change was due to annual employee
salary increases.

Non-staff expenses increased $2.5 million, or 73.7%, to $5.8 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared with the same period in 2000. The
increase was principally due to the one-time merger related charges associated
with the Merger with Commercial. In addition, goodwill amortization increased
from $273,000 to $341,000, or 24.9%, for the period ended March 31, 2001
compared with the same period in 2000. This increase was principally due to the
acquisition of five branches from Compass Bancshares, Inc. in September 2000.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased $596,000, or 52.5%, to $540,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $1.1 million for the same period in 2000. The
decrease was primarily attributable to lower pretax net earnings which resulted
from the one time merger related expenses of $2.4 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan Portfolio

Total loans were $418.6 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of $7.4
million, or 1.8% from $411.2 million at December 31, 2000. Period end loans
comprised 39.0% of average earning assets at March 31, 2001 compared with 42.3%
at December 31, 2000.

The following table summarizes the loan portfolio of the Company by type of
loan as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000:

Nonperforming Assets

The Company had $420,000 in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 and $1.3
million in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2000. If separately reported,
Prosperity would have reported no nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was 0.10%
and 0.32% for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000,
respectively.

The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases
accruing interest when the payment of principal or interest is delinquent for 90
days, or earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection
and the underlying collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan.
The Company generally charges off all loans before attaining nonaccrual status.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management actively monitors the Company's asset quality and provides
specific loss allowances when necessary. Loans are charged-off against the
allowance for credit losses when appropriate. Although management believes it
uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the
allowance for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic
conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial
determinations. As of March 31, 2001, the allowance for credit losses amounted
to $5.6 million, or 1.34% of total loans compared with $5.5 million, or 1.34% of
total loans at December 31, 2000.

Set forth below is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000:

Securities

Securities totaled $664.1 million at March 31, 2001 compared with $587.0
million at December 31 2000, an increase of $77.1 million, or 13.1%. At March
31, 2001, securities represented 56.7% of total assets compared with 51.3% of
total assets at December 31, 2000.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $14.7
million and $14.5 million at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

15
Deposits

Total deposits were $1.05 billion at March 31, 2001 compared with $1.03
billion at December 31, 2000, an increase of $20.4 million. At March 31, 2001,
non-interest bearing deposits accounted for approximately 17.5% of total
deposits compared with 18.2% of total deposits at December 31, 2000. Interest-
bearing demand deposits totaled $869.2 million, or 82.5%, of total deposits at
March 31, 2001 compared with $845.6 million, or 81.8%, of total deposits at
December 31, 2000.

Other Borrowings

The Company had no notes payable and $13.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") advances at March 31, 2001, compared with no notes payable and $13.9
million in FHLB advances at December 31, 2000. The FHLB advances are secured by
a blanket lien on the Bank's first mortgage loans against one-to-four family
residential properties. The maturity dates range from the years 2004 to 2018
and have interest rates ranging from 5.95% to 6.48%. In addition, the Company
had no federal funds purchased on March 31, 2001 or December 31, 2000.

Liquidity

Effective management of balance sheet liquidity is necessary to fund growth
in earning assets and to pay liability maturities, depository customers'
withdrawal requirements and shareholders' dividends. The Company has numerous
sources of liquidity including a significant portfolio of shorter-term assets,
marketable investment securities (excluding those presently classified as "held-
to-maturity"), increases in customers' deposits, and access to borrowing
arrangements. Available borrowing arrangements maintained by the Company
include federal funds lines with other commercial banks and an advancement
arrangement with the FHLB.

Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable
or which will mature in the near future. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had
cash and cash equivalents of $39.4 million, down from $99.2 million at December
31, 2000. The decline was due primarily to a decrease in federal funds sold of
$51.6 million and an increase in loans of $7.4 million.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity was $81.9 million at March 31, 2001 compared with
$80.3 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $1.6 million, or 2.0%. The
increase was due primarily to net earnings of $1.7 million plus a net change in
unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $1.0 million and less
dividends of $731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Both the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with respect to
the Company, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), with
respect to the Bank, have established certain minimum risk-based capital
standards that apply to bank holding companies and federally insured banks. As
of March 31, 2001, the Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based
capital and leverage capital ratios were 13.82%, 14.94% and 6.12%, respectively.
As of March 31, 2001, the Bank's risk-based capital ratios were above the levels
required for the Bank to be designated as "well capitalized" by the FDIC, with
Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios
of 13.77%, 14.89% and 6.09%, respectively.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages market risk, which for the Company is primarily interest
rate risk, through its Asset Liability Committee which is composed of senior
officers of the Company, in accordance with policies approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.

The Company uses simulation analysis to examine the potential effects of
market changes on net interest income and market value. It considers
macroeconomic variables, Company strategy, liquidity and other factors as it
quantifies market risk. There have been no material changes of this nature
since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filing on February 22, 2001. See
Form 10-K, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of
Operations-Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity".
