Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Information
Certain matters discussed in this report, excluding historical information, include forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, no assurance can be given that every objective will be reached. The words "estimate," "expect," "intend," and "project," as well as other words or expressions of a similar meaning are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Such statements are based on current expectations, are inherently uncertain, are subject to risks and should be viewed with caution. Actual results and experience may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any results that are projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted by the Company in forward-looking statements include, among others the following possibilities:
- •
- Changes in interest rates and market prices, which could reduce the Company's net interest margins, asset valuations and expense expectations.
- •
- Changes in the capital markets utilized by the Company and its subsidiaries, including changes in the interest rate environment that may reduce margins.
- •
- Changes in state and/or federal laws and regulations to which the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as their customers, competitors and potential competitors, are subject, including, without limitation, changes in the accounting, tax and regulatory treatment of trust preferred securities, as well as changes in banking, tax, securities, insurance and employment laws and regulations.
- •
- Changes in U.S.—Mexico trade, including, without limitation, reductions in border crossings and commerce resulting from the planned Homeland Security Programs called "US-VISIT," which is derived from Section 110 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
- •
- The loss of senior management or operating personnel.
- •
- Increased competition from both within and outside the banking industry.
- •
- Changes in local, national and international economic business conditions that adversely affect the Company's customers and their ability to transact profitable business with the Company, including the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans according to their terms or a change in the value of the related collateral.
- •
- The timing, impact and other uncertainties of the Company's potential future acquisitions including the Company's ability to identify suitable potential future acquisition candidates, the success or failure in the integration of their operations, and the Company's ability to maintain its current branch network and to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities.
- •
- Changes in the Company's ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock.
2
- •
- The effects of the litigation and proceedings pending with the Internal Revenue Service regarding the Company's lease financing transactions.
- •
- Additions to the Company's loan loss allowance as the result of changes in local, national or international conditions which adversely affect the Company's customers.
It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. The Company makes no commitment to update any forward-looking statement, or to disclose any facts, events or circumstances after the date hereof that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement, unless required by law.
Overview
The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas and serves the South and Southeast Texas regions, provides banking services for commercial, consumer and international customers. The Company is the second largest independent commercial bank holding company in Texas. The Company, through its bank subsidiaries, is in the business of gathering funds from various sources and investing those funds in order to earn a return. The Company also owns an insurance agency and a majority interest in an investment banking unit. The Company's primary earnings come from the spread between the interest earned on interest bearing assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the Company generates income from fees on products offered to commercial, consumer and international customers.
A primary goal of the Company is to grow net interest income and non-interest income while adequately managing credit risk and interest rate risk. Effective management of capital is a critical objective of the Company. A key measure of the performance of a banking institution is the return on average common equity ("ROE"). The Company's ROE for the year ended December 31, 2003 was 22.68% as compared to 20.44% for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Company is very active in facilitating trade along the United States border with Mexico. The Company does a significant amount of business with customers domiciled in Mexico. Deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a significant and stable portion of the deposit base of the Company. Many of the Texas markets served by the Company have a large Hispanic population.
Expense control is another essential element in the Company's profitability. As a result, one of the key ratios the Company monitors is the efficiency ratio, which is a measure of non-interest expense to net-interest income plus non-interest income. The Company's efficiency ratio has been under 53% for each of the last five years, which the Company believes is better than average compared to its national peer group. One of the benefits derived from such operating efficiencies is that the Company is not subject to undue pressure to generate interest income from high-risk loans.
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company reduced its assets by approximately $1 billion dollars in anticipation of a large acquisition. On January 22, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Local Financial Corporation ("LFIN"), an Oklahoma based bank holding company with $2.9 billion in assets. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by the shareholders of LFIN and certain other conditions set forth in the definitive agreement. It is anticipated that the transaction will close in the summer of 2004. The reduction in the assets of the Company is expected to reduce net interest income in the near term. Once the LFIN transaction is consummated, the Company believes it will be immediately accretive to its earnings per share.

Net Income
Net income increased by 21.4% for 2003 from 2002 despite the current low interest rate environment. Net income for 2003 was positively affected by gains recognized on bond sales, which were made to reposition a portion of the Company's bond portfolio to realize the equity that was eroding in the portfolio due to rapid principal repayments.
Net income for 2002 was negatively affected by an impairment charge of $6,081,000 relating to the Company's investment in the Aircraft Finance Trust ("AFT"). The Company accounts for its investment in AFT under the equity method of accounting. AFT utilizes derivative instruments to manage the interest rate on bonds that it has issued. The derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges and are reported at fair value. The Company records its proportionate share of the fair value of the derivatives as an increase or decrease in the investment in AFT and accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company's proportionate share of earnings or losses of AFT were losses of $948,000, $6,799,000 and $1,766,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Because of the losses from operations that AFT had reported as a result of the events of September 11 and the resulting impact on the airline industry, the Company evaluated its investment, which resulted in the Company recording the charge in 2002. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's investment in AFT, without the proportionate share of the fair value of the AFT derivatives was $0 and $948,000, respectively. At December 31, 2003 and 2002,
4
the Company's investment in AFT, including the proportionate share of the fair value of the AFT derivatives was $0.
Net income for 2002 was also negatively affected by a write-off of $1,159,000 relating to the closure of several in-store branches previously located in Albertson's supermarkets. On March 13, 2002, Albertson's, Inc. announced its intention to exit substantially all of the Company's markets. The Company began its relationship with Albertson's in 1995. Thirty nine Albertson's supermarkets and the related in-store branches of the Company located in Houston, San Antonio, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Edinburg, San Juan, Pharr, Mission, Weslaco and Harlingen were closed. On June 7, 2002, H-E-B agreed to purchase certain former Albertson's locations in San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley. The Company subsequently agreed with H-E-B to open in 4 of the Company's previous in-store locations and the Company also agreed to open an in-store branch in another former Albertson's store that was not occupied by the Company. On May 10, 2002, Kroger Co. agreed to purchase certain former Albertson's locations in Houston. The Company subsequently agreed with Kroger to open in 3 of the Company's previous in-store locations. During the third quarter 2002, the Company concluded that the remaining in-store locations would not be re-opened and wrote off $1,159,000 of its investment in the related in-store branches. The Company continues to maintain one Albertson's in-store branch in the New Braunfels market that was not closed by Albertson's. As a result of the new branch arrangements in Houston and San Antonio and the Company's extensive branch network, including additional traditional branches that were opened in 2003, the Company does not believe that the Albertson's closures had any material long term negative effects on its deposit base, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On August 1, 2002, the Company completed its sale of three bank branches in Rockdale, Taylor and Giddings, Texas to Citizens National Bank located in Cameron, Texas. The branches were previously acquired by the Company as part of its acquisition of National Bancshares Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2001 and represented approximately $36.3 million in loans and $93.1 million in deposits. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $3.1 million in 2002. The Company sold these branches because they did not fit into the long-term strategic plans of the Company.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the spread between income on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets, such as deposits, repurchase agreements and funds borrowed. Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue. Net
5
interest income is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Due to decreasing market interest rates in 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company accordingly lowered interest rates on loans and deposits, which in turn affected the yield on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 16.2% from 6.16% in 2002 to 5.16% in 2003, and the rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 23.4% from 2.27% in 2002 to 1.73% in 2003. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 15.2% from 7.26% in 2001 to 6.16% in 2002 and the rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 45.0% from 4.13% in 2001 to 2.27% in 2002.
The following table analyzes the changes in net interest income during 2003 and 2002 and the relative effect of changes in interest rates and volumes for each major classification of interest earning assets and

interest-bearing liabilities. Nonaccrual loans have been included in assets for the purpose of this analysis, which reduces the resulting yields:

As part of its strategy to manage interest rate risk, the Company strives to manage both assets and liabilities so that interest sensitivities match. One method of calculating interest rate sensitivity is through gap analysis. A gap is the difference between the amount of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities that re-price or mature in a given time period. Positive gaps occur when interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, and negative gaps occur when interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets. A positive gap position in a period of rising interest rates should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets will re-price faster than liabilities. Conversely, net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of falling interest rates. Management can quickly change the Company's interest rate position at any given point in time as market conditions dictate. Additionally, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Analytical techniques employed by the Company to supplement gap analysis include simulation analysis to quantify interest rate risk exposure. The gap analysis prepared by management is reviewed by the Investment Committee of the Company twice a year. Management currently believes that the Company is properly positioned for interest rate changes; however if management determines at any time that the Company is not properly positioned, it will strive to adjust the interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to manage the effect of interest rate changes.
7
At December 31, 2003, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates either up or down will not vary earnings by more than 3 percent of projected 2004 net interest income. A 200 basis point shift in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk, and does not necessarily represent management's current view of future market developments. The Company believes that it is properly positioned for a potential rate increase or decrease.
Allowance for Possible Loan Loss

The increase in non-accrual loans from 2002 to 2003 can be attributed to two fully secured credits the Company placed on non-accrual status, totaling approximately $17,800,000. On January 7, 2004, management determined that one of the fully secured credits be returned to accrual status and on March 1, 2004, management determined that the second of the two fully secured credits also be returned to accrual status.

The gross income that would have been recorded during 2003 and 2002 on non-accrual and restructured loans in accordance with their original contract terms was $1,814,000 and $511,000 on domestic loans and $56,000 and $56,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on such loans that was recognized in 2003 and 2002 was $1,086,000 and $42,000 on domestic loans and $5,000 and $2,000 for foreign loans, respectively.
The non-accrual loan policy of the bank subsidiaries is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans when management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be uncollectible. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent payments are received or when, in management's opinion, the creditor's financial condition warrants reestablishment of interest accruals. Under special circumstances, a loan may be more than 90 days delinquent as to interest or principal and not be placed on non-accrual status. When any of the above occurs, loan officers are required to recommend placing a loan on non-accrual status by sending a memo to the senior loan officer. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued but not paid is reversed and charged to operations against interest income.
The preceding tables indicate that there are certain loans technically past due 90 days or more on performing status. This situation generally results when a bank subsidiary has a borrower who is
8
experiencing financial difficulties but not to the extent that requires a restructuring of indebtedness. The majority of this category is composed of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for which there has been a recent history of payments.
Loan commitments, consisting of unused commitments to lend, letters of credit, credit card lines and other approved loans, that have not been funded, were $770,896,000 and $722,453,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The allowance for possible loan losses consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the bank subsidiaries. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for possible loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances.
The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a "loss" by bank examiners. Commercial, financial and agricultural or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the portion of the loan so exposed is anticipated based on actual results and on the borrower's financial condition. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged off when 90 days past due.
While management of the Company considers that it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The determination that a loan is likely to be uncollectible and that it should be wholly or partially charged off as a loss is an exercise of judgment. Similarly, the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses can be made only on a subjective basis. It is the judgment of the Company's management that the allowance for possible loan losses at December 31, 2003 was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date. See Critical Accounting Policies on page 21.

The Company recorded investment securities gains of $23,390,000 in 2003 compared to gains of $2,303,000 for 2002. These gains in 2003 and 2002 occurred due to a program to reposition a portion of the Company's bond portfolio to realize the equity that was eroding in the portfolio due to rapid principal repayments, the result of which, in effect, accelerated future earnings. Non-interest income also includes income on other investments. Income on other investments increased to $8,606,000 in 2003 from $(2,598,000) in 2002, which decreased from $10,636,000 in 2001. The decrease in 2002 can be attributed to losses taken by the Company on its investment in AFT. In 2002, other non-interest income increased $3,283,000 primarily from the gain recorded on the sale of the former National Bancshares Corporation branches.

Expense control is an essential element in the Company's profitability. This is achieved through maintaining optimum staffing levels, an effective budgeting process, and internal consolidation of bank functions. The increases in non-interest expense for the three years ended 2003 were due to the expanded operations of the Company's bank subsidiaries (including the acquisition of National Bancshares
11
Corporation at the end of 2001, which added approximately 83 employees) and increased fees paid by the Company's investment banking unit, the GulfStar Group in 2003.
Effects of Inflation
The principal component of earnings is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates. Changes in rates of inflation affect interest rates. It is difficult to precisely measure the impact of inflation on net interest income because it is not possible to accurately differentiate between increases in net interest income resulting from inflation and increases resulting from increased business activity. Inflation also raises costs of operation, primarily those of employment and services.

Mexico
On December 31, 2003, the Company had $222,797,000 (3.4% of total assets) in loans outstanding to borrowers domiciled in Mexico. The loan policies of the Company's bank subsidiaries generally require that loans to borrowers domiciled in Mexico be primarily secured by assets located in the United States or have credit enhancements, in the form of guarantees, from significant United States corporations. The composition of such loans and the related amounts of allocated allowance for possible loan losses as of December 31, 2003 is presented below.

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The Company relies primarily on its high quality customer service, sales programs and advertising to attract and retain these deposits. Deposits provide the primary source of funding for the Company's lending and investment activities, and the interest paid for deposits must be managed carefully to control the level of interest expense. Deposits at December 31, 2003 were $4,435,699,000, an increase of 4.6% over $4,239,899,000 at December 31, 2002. The increase in deposits from 2002 to 2003 is the result of a strong retail and commercial sales program initiated by the Company. The Company's deposits increased despite the continued pressure from competition inside and outside of the Company's markets and the unprecedented low interest rate environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company's bank subsidiaries with the ability to meet potential depositor withdrawals, provide for customer credit needs, maintain adequate statutory reserve levels and take full advantage of high-yield investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is afforded by access to financial markets and by holding appropriate amounts of liquid assets. The bank subsidiaries of the Company derive their liquidity largely from deposits of individuals and business entities. Historically, the Mexico based deposits of the Company's bank subsidiaries have been a stable source of funding. Deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a significant and stable portion of the deposit base of the Company's bank subsidiaries. Such deposits comprised approximately 39%, 41% and 40% of the Company's bank subsidiaries' total deposits as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Other important funding sources for the Company's bank subsidiaries have been wholesale liabilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and large certificates of deposit, requiring management to closely monitor its asset/liability mix in terms of both rate sensitivity and maturity distribution. Primary liquidity of the Company and its subsidiaries has been maintained by means of increased investment in shorter-term securities, certificates of deposit and loans. As in the past, the Company will continue to monitor the volatility and cost of funds in an attempt to match maturities of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, and respond accordingly to anticipated fluctuations in interest rates over reasonable periods of time.
Asset/Liability Management
The Company's fund management policy has as its primary focus the measurement and management of the banks' earnings at risk in the face of rising and falling interest rate forecasts. The earliest and most simplistic concept of earnings at risk measurement is the gap report, which is used to generate a rough
16
estimate of the vulnerability of net interest income to changes in market rates as implied by the relative re-pricings of assets and liabilities. The gap report calculates the difference between the amounts of assets and liabilities re-pricing across a series of intervals in time, with emphasis typically placed on the one-year period. This difference, or gap, is usually expressed as a percentage of total assets.
If an excess of liabilities over assets matures or re-prices within the one-year period, the balance sheet is said to be negatively gapped. This condition is sometimes interpreted to suggest that an institution is liability-sensitive, indicating that earnings would suffer from rising rates and benefit from falling rates. If a surplus of assets over liabilities occurs in the one-year time frame, the balance sheet is said to be positively gapped, suggesting a condition of asset sensitivity in which earnings would benefit from rising rates and suffer from falling rates.
The gap report thus consists of an inventory of dollar amounts of assets and liabilities that have the potential to mature or re-price within a particular period. The flaw in drawing conclusions about interest rate risk from the gap report is that it takes no account of the probability that potential maturities or re-pricings of interest-rate-sensitive accounts will occur, or at what relative magnitudes. Because simplicity, rather than utility, is the only virtue of gap analysis, financial institutions increasingly have either abandoned gap analysis or accorded it a distinctly secondary role in managing their interest-rate risk exposure.
The net interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2003 is illustrated in the following table. This information reflects the balances of assets and liabilities whose rates are subject to change. As indicated in the table on the following page, the Company is liability sensitive during the early time periods and is asset sensitive in the longer periods. The table shows the sensitivity of the balance sheet at one point in time and is not necessarily indicative of the position at future dates.

The detailed inventory of balance sheet items contained in gap reports is the starting point of income simulation analysis. Income simulation analysis also focuses on the variability of net interest income and net income, but without the limitations of gap analysis. In particular, the fundamental, but often unstated, assumption of the gap approach that every balance sheet item that can re-price will do so to the full extent of any movement in market interest rates is taken into consideration in income simulation analysis.
Accordingly, income simulation analysis captures not only the potential of assets and liabilities to mature or re-price but also the probability that they will do so. Moreover, income simulation analysis focuses on the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time in a motion picture rather than snapshot fashion. Finally, income simulation analysis permits management to assess the probable effects on balance sheet items not only of changes in market interest rates but also of proposed strategies for responding to such changes. The Company and many other institutions rely primarily upon income simulation analysis in measuring and managing exposure to interest rate risk.
18
At December 31, 2003, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates either up or down will not vary earnings by more than 3 percent of projected 2004 net interest income. A 200 basis point shift in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk, and does not necessarily represent management's current view of future market developments. The Company believes that it is properly positioned for a potential rate increase or decrease.
All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon the Company's business mix and interest rate exposures at the particular point in time. The exposure changes continuously as a result of the Company's ongoing business and its risk management initiatives. While management believes these measures provide a meaningful representation of the Company's interest rate sensitivity, they do not necessarily take into account all business developments that have an effect on net income, such as changes in credit quality or the size and composition of the balance sheet.
Principal sources of liquidity and funding for the Company are dividends from subsidiaries and borrowed funds, with such funds being used to finance the Company's cash flow requirements. The Company closely monitors the dividend restrictions and availability from the bank subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2003, the aggregate amount legally available to be distributed to the Company from bank subsidiaries as dividends was approximately $250,000,000, assuming that each bank subsidiary continues to be classified as "well capitalized" under the applicable regulations and excluding certified surplus. Pursuant to Texas law, a Texas state bank's lending limit is twenty-five percent of the bank's capital and certified surplus. The board of directors of the bank determines how much surplus will be certified. Except to absorb losses in excess of undivided profits and uncertified surplus, certified surplus may not be reduced without the prior written approval of the Texas banking commissioner. The restricted capital (capital, surplus and certified surplus) of the bank subsidiaries was approximately $455,068,000 as of December 31, 2003. The undivided profits of the bank subsidiaries were approximately $410,975,000 as of December 31, 2003.
At December 31, 2003, the Company has outstanding $845,272,000 in other borrowed funds and $172,254,000 in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. In addition to borrowed funds and dividends, the Company has a number of other available alternatives to finance the growth of its existing banks as well as future growth and expansion.
The Company maintains an adequate level of capital as a margin of safety for its depositors and shareholders. At December 31, 2003, shareholders' equity was $577,383,000 compared to $547,264,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $30,119,000, or 5.5%. The increase in shareholders' equity resulted from the retention of earnings. Accumulated other comprehensive income is not included in the calculation of regulatory capital ratios.
During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the most highly rated bank holding companies and at least 4% to 5% for all other bank holding companies. The Company's leverage ratio (defined as shareholders' equity plus eligible trust preferred securities issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other intangibles divided by average quarterly assets) was 8.75% at December 31, 2003 and 8.71% at December 31, 2002. The core deposit intangibles and goodwill of $73,334,000 as of December 31, 2003, recorded in connection with financial institution acquisitions of the Company after February 1992, are deducted from the sum of core capital elements when determining the capital ratios of the Company.
The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). Under the final 1992 rules, all banks are required to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4.0% of risk-weighted assets and total capital of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders' equity plus trust preferred securities issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other intangibles, while total capital consists of Tier 1 capital, certain debt instruments and a portion of the reserve for loan losses. In order to be deemed well capitalized pursuant to the regulations, an institution
19
must have a total risk-weighted capital ratio of 10%, a Tier 1 risk-weighted ratio of 6% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%. The Company had risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratios of 17.30% and 15.95% and risk weighted total capital ratios of 19.33% and 17.21% as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which are well above the minimum regulatory requirements and exceed the well capitalized ratios (see note 20 to notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
During the past few years the Company has expanded its banking facilities. Among the activities and commitments the Company funded during 2003 and 2002 were certain capital expenditures relating to the modernization and improvement of several existing bank facilities and the expansion of the bank branch network.
Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The intention of FIN 46 was to clarify the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise considered to be a variable interest entity ("VIE"), to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the enterprise that will absorb the majority of the VIE's expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns if they occur, or both. In December 2003, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (revised December 2003)," which replaces FIN 46, in order to clarify the guidance in the original interpretation. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also applies to all variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 that are considered to be special-purpose entities, as defined in FIN 46R, as of December 31, 2003. FIN 46R must be applied to all variable interest entities no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. The Company early adopted the provisions of FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003.
The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, (the "Trusts") for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The Trusts have issued Capital and Common Securities and invested the proceeds in an equivalent amount thereof in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures") issued by the Company. The Debentures will mature on various dates; however the Debentures may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices, in whole or in part after the specified dates, or in whole within 90 days upon the occurrence of any one of certain legal, regulatory or tax events specified in the Indenture. Under the provisions of FIN 46R, the Company de-consolidated its investment in the Trusts as of December 31, 2003. Through December 31, 2003, the amount of Debentures outstanding totaled $172,254,000.
The Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the Indentures) of the Company, and arepari passu with one another. The interest rate payable on, and the payment terms of the Debentures is the same as the distribution rate and payment terms of the respective issues of Capital and Common Securities issued by the Trusts. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of each of the Trusts with respect to the Capital and Common Securities. The Company has the right, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest on the Debentures for up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods on Trusts I through IV and for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts V through VIII. If interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory bodies.
20
For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are treated as non-banking subsidiaries of the Company and consolidated in the consolidated financial statements prior to December 31, 2003. Upon adoption of FIN 46R, the Trusts are treated as investments of the Company and not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Capital Securities issued by each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders' equity on the consolidated statement of condition, the Capital Securities are treated as capital for regulatory purposes. Specifically, under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital up to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital on an aggregate basis. Any amount that exceeds the 25% threshold would qualify as Tier 2 capital. For December 31, 2003, $140,000,000 of the total $170,000,000 of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital.
The following table illustrates key information about each of the Debentures and their interest rate at December 31, 2003:

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.
The Company considers its Allowance for Possible Loan Losses as a policy critical to the sound operations of the bank subsidiaries. The allowance for possible loan losses consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the bank subsidiaries. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for possible loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for possible loan losses of each bank subsidiary is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is derived from the following elements: (i) allowances established on specific loans, and (ii) allowances based on historical loss experience on the Company's remaining loan portfolio, which includes general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. See also discussion regarding the allowance for possible loan losses and provision for possible loan losses included in the results of operations and "Provision and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses" included in Notes 1 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Company's provision and allowance for possible loan losses policy.
The specific loan loss provision is determined using the following methods. On a weekly basis, loan past due reports are reviewed by the servicing loan officer to determine if a loan has any potential problem and if a loan should be placed on the Company's internal classified report. Additionally, the Company's credit department reviews the majority of the loans regardless of whether they are past due and segregates any loans with potential problems for further review. The credit department will discuss the potential problem loans with the servicing loan officers to determine any relevant issues that were not discovered in the evaluation. Also, any analysis on loans that is provided through examinations by regulatory authorities is considered in the review process. After the above analysis is completed, the Company will determine if a loan should be placed on an internal classified report because of issues related to the analysis of the credit, credit documents, collateral and/or payment history.
22
The Company's internal classified report is segregated into the following categories: (i) "Pass Credits," (ii) "Special Review Credits," or (iii) "Watch List Credits." The loans placed in the "Pass Credits" category reflect the Company's opinion that the loan conforms to the bank's lending policies, which includes the borrower's ability to repay, the value of the underlying collateral, if any, as it relates to the outstanding indebtedness of the loan, and the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. The loans placed in the "Special Review Credits" category reflect the Company's opinion that the loans reflect potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis; however, the "Special Review Credits" are not considered to need a specific reserve at the time, but are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the lending staff to determine if a change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the "Watch List Credits" category reflect the Company's opinion that the loans contain clearly pronounced credit weaknesses and/or inherent financial weaknesses of the borrower. Credits classified as "Watch List Credits" are evaluated under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," criteria and, if deemed necessary a specific reserve is allocated to the credit. The specific reserve allocated under SFAS No. 114, is based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (2) the loan's observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The allowance, based on historical loss experience on the Company's remaining loan portfolio, which includes the "Pass Credits," "Special Review Credits," and "Watch List Credits," is determined by segregating the remaining loan portfolio into certain categories such as commercial loans, installment loans, international loans, loan concentrations and overdrafts. Installment loans are then further segregated by number of days past due. A historical loss percentage, adjusted for (i) management's evaluation of changes in lending policies and procedures, (ii) current economic conditions in the market area served by the Company, (iii) other risk factors, (iv) the effectiveness of the internal loan review function, (v) changes in loan portfolios, and (vi) the composition and concentration of credit volume is applied to each category. Each category is then added together to determine the allowance allocated under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5.
The Company's management continually reviews the loan loss allowance of the bank subsidiaries using the amounts determined from the allowances established on specific loans, the allowance established based on historical percentages and the loans charged off and recoveries to establish an appropriate amount to maintain in the Company's loan loss allowance. If the basis of the Company's assumptions change, the loan loss allowance would either decrease or increase and the Company would increase or decrease the provision for loan loss charged to operations accordingly.
Recent Accounting Standards Issued
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 147 "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9". SFAS No. 72 required that in acquisitions of financial institutions, any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired be accounted for as an unidentifiable intangible asset and subsequently amortized. SFAS No. 72 unidentified intangible assets were excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. Except for transactions between two or more mutual companies, SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 was effective October 1, 2002 and requires that if the transaction that gave rise to the unidentified intangible asset was a business combination, the carrying amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the date of acquisition or the date of the full application of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 also requires that any interim or annual financial statements that reflect the amortization of the unidentified intangible asset subsequent to the full application of SFAS 142 shall be restated to remove that amortization expense. The Company
23
adopted SFAS No. 147 on October 1, 2002. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 147, the Company reclassified $10,487,000 from intangible assets to goodwill and reversed $792,000 of amortization expense recognized during 2002 related to the SFAS No. 72 unidentified intangible asset.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issue SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for those companies that have elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. This Interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 34 ("FIN 34"), "Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which has been superceded. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligations to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." The intention of FIN 46 was to clarify the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise considered to be a variable interest entity ("VIE"), to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the enterprise that will absorb the majority of the VIE's expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns if they occur, or both. In December 2003, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (revised December 2003)," which replaces FIN 46, in order to clarify the guidance in the original interpretation. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also applies to all variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 that are considered to be special-purpose entities, as defined in FIN 46R, as of December 31, 2003. FIN 46R must be applied to all variable interest entities no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004.
The Company early adopted FIN 46R in connection with its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003. The implementation of FIN 46R requires the Company to de-consolidate the statutory business trusts formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2003.
24
The trust preferred securities issued by the statutory business trusts are currently included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. However, because the implementation of FIN 46R requires the deconsolidation of these types of entities, the Federal Reserve Board may in the future disallow inclusion of the trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary. The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, provide further appropriate guidance. The Company will continue to monitor the Federal Reserve's position on this issue.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 149 ("SFAS No. 149"), "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to amend and clarify financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. The amendments (i) reflect decisions of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG); (ii) reflect decisions made by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in conjunction with other projects dealing with financial instruments; and (iii) address implementation issues related to the application of the definition of a derivative. SFAS No. 149 also modifies various other existing pronouncements to conform with the changes made to SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provisions applied prospectively. Adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150, ("SFAS No. 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances. Such financial instruments include (i) financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; (ii) financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; (iii) financial instruments that embody an obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer's equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer's equity shares; and (iv) certain freestanding financial instruments. SFAS No. 150 was originally effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. At its October 29, 2003, meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to defer the effective date of SFAS No. 150, as it relates to classification and measurement requirements for manditorily redeemable financial instruments that become subject to SFAS No. 150 solely as a result of consolidation. Adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3 ("SOP 03-3"), "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 provides guidance on the accounting for differences between contractual and expected cash flows from the purchaser's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. Among other things, SOP 03-3: (i) prohibits the recognition of the excess of contractual cash flows over expected cash flows as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance at the time of purchase; (ii) requires that subsequent increases in expected cash flows be recognized prospectively through an adjustment of yield; and (iii) requires that subsequent decreases in expected cash flows be
25
recognized as an impairment. In addition, SOP 03-3 prohibits the creation or carrying over of a valuation allowance in the initial accounting of all loans within its scope that are acquired in a transfer. SOP 03-3 becomes effective for loans or debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004.

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of International Bancshares Corporation ("Corporation") and Subsidiaries (the Corporation and Subsidiaries collectively referred to herein as the "Company") conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies.
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned bank subsidiaries, International Bank of Commerce, Laredo ("IBC"), Commerce Bank, International Bank of Commerce, Zapata, International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville, and the Corporation's wholly-owned non-bank subsidiaries, IBC Subsidiary Corporation, IBC Life Insurance Company, IBC Trading Company and IBC Capital Corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company early adopted the provisions of FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003 and deconsolidated its investment in eight statutory business trusts formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the business of banking, including the acceptance of checking and savings deposits and the making of commercial, real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and other installment and term loans. The primary markets of the Company are South and Southeast Texas. Each bank subsidiary is very active in facilitating international trade along the United States border with Mexico and elsewhere. Although the Company's loan portfolio is diversified, the ability of the Company's debtors to honor their contracts is primarily dependent upon the economic conditions in the Company's trade area. In addition, the investment portfolio is directly impacted by fluctuations in market interest rates. The Company and its bank subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies as well as the Texas Department of Banking and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. Such agencies may require certain standards or impose certain limitations based on their judgments or changes in law and regulations.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statement of condition and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for possible loan losses.
Per Share Data
All share and per share information has been restated giving retroactive effect to stock dividends distributed.
Investment Securities
The Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of these categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Such classifications are reassessed for appropriate classification at each reporting date. Securities classified as "held-to-maturity" are carried at amortized cost for financial statement reporting, while securities classified as "available-for-sale" and "trading" are carried at their fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in net income for those securities classified as "trading", while unrealized holding gains and losses related to those securities classified as
38
"available-for-sale" are excluded from net income and reported net of tax as other comprehensive income and in shareholders' equity as accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. The Company did not maintain any trading securities during the two year period ended December 31, 2003.
Mortgage-backed securities held at December 31, 2003 and 2002 represent participating interests in pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the straight-line method over the contractual maturity of the loans adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Income recognized under the straight-line method is not materially different from income that would be recognized under the level yield or "interest method". Mortgage-backed securities are either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Market interest rate fluctuations can affect the prepayment speed of principal and the yield on the security.
Unearned Discounts
Consumer loans are frequently made on a discount basis. The amount of the discount is subsequently included in interest income ratably over the term of the related loans to approximate the effective interest method.
Provision and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. The provision for possible loan losses is the amount, which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to establish the allowance for probable loan losses at a level that is adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
Management believes that the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's bank subsidiaries allowances for possible loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company's bank subsidiaries to recognize additions or reductions to their allowances based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Loans
Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned discounts. Interest income on loans is reported on an accrual basis. Loan commitment fees and costs associated with servicing the loans are reported on a cash basis. The Company believes that recognition of loan commitment fees and the related costs for servicing on a cash basis will not be materially different compared to recognition of such fees over the life of the loan commitment and amortization of the associated costs over the same period using the straight-line method.
Non-Accrual Loans
The non-accrual loan policy of the Company's bank subsidiaries is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans when management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be un-collectible. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent payments are received
39
or when, in management's opinion, the debtor's financial condition warrants reestablishment of interest accruals.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is comprised of real estate acquired by foreclosure and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair value less estimated costs to sell such property (as determined by independent appraisal). Prior to foreclosure, the value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan possible losses, if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged against other non-interest expense. Operating expenses of such properties and gains and losses on their disposition are included in other non-interest expense.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred and expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries.
Stock Options
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("SFAS No. 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for those companies that have elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan and certain options granted outside the plan. The Company accounts for options under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based employee cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Net Income Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options is considered in earnings per share calculations if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets associated with acquisition transactions. Through 2001, the Company amortized goodwill related to acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001 on a straight-line basis over 15 years and identifiable intangibles on a straight-line basis over their estimated periods of benefit. In addition, the Company reviewed its intangible assets periodically for other-than-temporary impairments. If such impairments were indicated, recoverability of the asset was assessed based on expected undiscounted net cash flows.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 ("SFAS No. 141"), "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS No. 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with
41
the provisions in SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".
On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 and certain provisions of SFAS 142 as required for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001.
The Company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. See Note 16 for the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 142.
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 147 ("SFAS No. 147"), "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an amendment of FASB Statements No 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9". SFAS No. 72 required that in acquisitions of financial institutions, any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired be accounted for as an unidentifiable intangible asset and subsequently amortized. SFAS No. 72 unidentified intangible assets were excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. Except for transactions between two or more mutual companies, SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 was effective October 1, 2002 and requires that if the transaction that gave rise to the unidentified intangible asset was a business combination, the carrying amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the date of acquisition or the date of the full application of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 also requires that any interim or annual financial statements that reflect the amortization of the unidentified intangible asset subsequent to the full application of SFAS 142 shall be restated to remove that amortization expense. The Company adopted SFAS No. 147 as of October 1, 2002. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 147, the Company reclassified $10,487,000 from intangible assets to goodwill and reversed $792,000 of amortization expense recognized during 2002 related to the SFAS 72 unidentified intangible asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it retains many of the fundamental provisions of SFAS No 121, establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation issues not previously addressed by SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 also supercedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion No. 30, ("Opinion No. 30") "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of a business; however, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends the reporting to a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business, that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
42
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the statement of condition.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Also, the Company reports transactions related to deposits with other financial institutions, customer time deposits and loans to customers on a net basis.
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
The Company accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on the application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. After a transfer of financial assets, the Company recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
The Company operates as one segment. The operating information used by the Company's chief executive officer for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions about the Company is the consolidated statements presented in this report. The Company has four active operating subsidiaries, namely, the bank subsidiaries, otherwise known as International Bank of Commerce, Laredo, Commerce Bank, International Bank of Commerce, Zapata and International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville. The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," in determining its reportable segments and related disclosures. None of the Company's other subsidiaries meets the 10% threshold for disclosure under SFAS No. 131.
Derivative Instruments
The Company currently does not directly engage in hedging activities and does not directly hold any derivative instruments or embedded derivatives. However, the Company's equity method investee, Aircraft Finance Trust ("AFT"), uses derivative instruments to manage the interest rate on the bonds that AFT has issued. The derivative instruments qualify as cash flow hedges under the provisions of SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and as such, the Company's proportionate share of changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are included in comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.
43
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. This Interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 34 ("FIN 34"), "Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which has been superceded. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligations to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and are included in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year's presentations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." The intention of FIN 46 was to clarify the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise considered to be a variable interest entity ("VIE"), to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the enterprise that will absorb the majority of the VIE's expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the VIE's residual returns if they occur, or both. In December 2003, the FASB issued Staff Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (revised December 2003)," which replaces FIN 46, in order to clarify the guidance in the original interpretation. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also applies to all variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 that are considered to be special-purpose entities, as defined in FIN 46R, as of December 31, 2003. FIN 46R must be applied to all variable interest entities no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004.
The Company early adopted FIN 46R in connection with its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003. The implementation of FIN 46R requires the Company to de-consolidate the statutory business trusts formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2003.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 150, ("SFAS No. 150"), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS
44
No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances. Such financial instruments include (i) financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; (ii) financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; (iii) financial instruments that embody an obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer's equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer's equity shares; and (iv) certain freestanding financial instruments. SFAS No. 150 was originally effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. At its October 29, 2003, meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to defer the effective date of SFAS No. 150, as it relates to classification and measurement requirements for manditorily redeemable financial instruments that become subject to SFAS No. 150 solely as a result of consolidation. Adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2001, SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued. SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also would record a corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation would be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The Company was required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April 2002, SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," was issued. SFAS No. 145 amends existing guidance on reporting gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt to prohibit the classification of the gain or loss as extraordinary, as the use of such extinguishments have become part of the risk management strategy of many companies. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," were applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," was issued. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3," Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity." The provisions of SFAS No. 146 were effective for exit or
45
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," was issued. SFAS No. 132 (revised) prescribes employers' disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans; it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. The Statement revises the disclosure requirements contained in the original SFAS No. 132. It also requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The Statement generally is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.
(2) Potential Acquisition
On January 22, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement pursuant to which the Company will acquire Local Financial Corporation ("LFIN"), an Oklahoma based bank holding company with $2.9 billion in assets. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will acquire LFIN for approximately $364 million in cash and stock. LFIN stockholders will be entitled to elect to either receive cash or Common Stock of the Company, valued at $22.00 per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) for each share of LFIN common stock they own. The election of LFIN's stockholders will be subject to the requirement that 75 percent of LFIN's shares be exchanged for cash and 25 percent exchanged for IBC stock.
The transaction is expected to close in the summer of 2004 and is subject to various closing conditions, including receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals and the approval of LFIN's stockholders. The Board of Directors of both the Company and LFIN have approved the transaction.
The Company intends to file certain materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including a registration statement on Form S-4 concerning the transaction. The Form S-4 registration statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus, which the Company and LFIN intend to mail to LFIN stockholders in connection with the transaction.

Mortgage-backed securities are primarily securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae").
The amortized cost and fair value of available for sale investment securities pledged to qualify for fiduciary powers, to secure public monies as required by law, repurchase agreements and short-term fixed borrowings was $565,050,000 and $571,623,000, respectively, at December 31, 2003.
Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale were $1,239,766,000, $330,152,000 and $568,058,000 during 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gross gains of $29,517,000, $2,396,000 and $5,693,000 and gross losses of $6,127,000, $93,000 and $6,703,000 were realized on the sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2003 were as follows:

The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities are caused by changes in market interest rates. The contractual cash obligations of the securities are guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Ginnie Mae. Because the decrease in fair value is due to market interest rates and not other factors, and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a market price recovery, maturity of the securities, or a modification of the Company's investment strategy, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
The unrealized losses on investments in obligations of state and political subdivision securities are caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. The underlying cash obligations of the securities are guaranteed by the municipality underwriting the debt instrument. It is the belief of the Company that the municipality issuing the debt will honor its interest payment schedule, as well as the full debt at maturity. The securities are purchased by the Company for their economic value. Because the decrease in fair value is due to market interest rates and not other factors, and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a market price recovery, maturity of the securities, or a modification of the Company's investment strategy, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

(4) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
A summary of the transactions in the allowance for possible loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is as follows:

Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $20,960,000, $3,649,000 and $8,170,000, respectively. The effect of such non-accrual loans reduced interest income by $1,870,000, $567,000 and $695,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amounts received on non-accruals are applied, for financial accounting purposes, first to principal and then to interest after all principal has been collected.
The increase in non-accrual loans from 2002 to 2003 can be attributed to two fully secured credits the Company placed on non-accrual status, totaling approximately $17,800,000. On January 7, 2004, management determined that one of the fully secured credits be returned to accrual status and on March 1, 2004, management determined that the second of the two fully secured credits also be returned to accrual status.
Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable that all amounts due according to contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The Company has identified these loans through its normal loan review procedures. Impaired loans are measured based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (2) the loan's observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral. In limited cases the Company may use other methods to determine the level of impairment of a loan if such loan is not collateral dependent.
Impaired loans were $23,227,000 at December 31, 2003, $3,428,000 at December 31, 2002 and $4,958,000 at December 31, 2001. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $10,160,000, $4,289,000 and $5,997,000, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $1,936,000, $112,000 and $412,000 was recognized for cash payments received in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Management of the Company recognizes the risks associated with these impaired loans. However, management's decision to place loans in this category does not necessarily mean that losses will occur.
The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a "loss" by bank examiners. Commercial and industrial or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the
50
loss portion is anticipated based on the borrower's financial condition and general economic conditions in the borrower's industry. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when 90 days past due.
While management of the Company considers that it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The determination that a loan is likely to be un-collectible and that it should be wholly or partially charged-off as a loss is an exercise of judgment. Similarly, the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses can be made only on a subjective basis. It is the judgment of the Company's management that the allowance for possible loan losses at December 31, 2003 was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date.

(7) Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements
The Company's bank subsidiaries have entered into repurchase agreements with Salomon Brothers and individual customers of the bank subsidiaries. The purchasers have agreed to resell to the bank subsidiaries identical securities upon the maturities of the agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were mortgage-backed book entry securities and averaged $473,365,000 and $498,869,000 during 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month end during 2003 and 2002 $501,296,000 and $684,839,000, respectively.

(8) Other Borrowed Funds
Other borrowed funds include Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which are short term fixed borrowings issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas at the market price offered at the time of funding. These borrowings are secured by mortgage-backed investment securities. For the year ended December 31, 2002, other borrowed funds included long term debt of $135,000,000 issued in the form of Trust Preferred Securities issued by statutory business trusts formed by the Company. Under the provisions of FIN 46R, which the Company adopted at December 31, 2003, the statutory business trusts were de-consolidated. The weighted average interest rate on the short-term fixed borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was 1.07% and 1.80%, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the year 2003 and 2002 was 1.22% and 1.96%, respectively. The average daily balance on short-term fixed borrowings was $388,123,000 and $747,772,000 during 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month end during 2003 and 2002 was $1,505,000,000 and $1,020,000,000, respectively.

(9) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, (the "Trusts") for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The Trusts have issued Capital and Common Securities and invested the proceeds in an equivalent amount thereof in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures") issued by the Company. The Debentures will mature on various dates; however the Debentures may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices, in whole or in part after the specified dates, or in whole within 90 days upon the occurrence of any one of certain legal, regulatory or tax events specified in the Indenture. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, under the provisions of FIN 46R, the Company de-consolidated its investment in the Trusts as of December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the amount of Debentures outstanding totaled $172,254,000.
The Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the Indentures) of the Company, and arepari passu with one another. The interest rate payable on, and the payment terms of the Debentures is the same as the distribution rate and payment terms of the respective issues of Capital and Common Securities issued by the Trusts. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of each of the Trusts with respect to the Capital and Common Securities. The Company has the right, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest on the Debentures for up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods on Trusts I through IV and for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts V through VIII. If interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory bodies. The following table illustrates key information about each of the Capital Securities and their interest rate at December 31, 2003:

Prior to the issuance of FIN No. 46R, the eight statutory business trusts were considered fully consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and reported on the consolidated statement of condition under the heading "Other borrowed funds." With the early adoption of FIN 46R, the Company deconsolidated the eight statutory business trusts and as a result the Debentures issued by the trust are reported in a separate line item, "Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures."

(10) Earnings per Share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The calculation of the basic EPS and the diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 is set forth in the following table:

(11) Employees' Profit Sharing Plan
The Company has a deferred profit sharing plan for full-time employees with a minimum of one year of continuous employment. The Company's annual contribution to the plan is based on a percentage, as determined by the Board of Directors, of income before income taxes, as defined, for the year. Allocation of the contribution among officers and employees' accounts is based on length of service and amount of salary earned. Profit sharing costs of $2,897,000, $2,662,000 and $2,084,000 were charged to income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
(12) International Operations
The Company provides international banking services for its customers through its bank subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor its bank subsidiaries have facilities located outside the United States. International operations are distinguished from domestic operations based upon the domicile of the customer.
55
Because the resources employed by the Company are common to both international and domestic operations, it is not practical to determine net income generated exclusively from international activities.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had $64,569,000 in outstanding international commercial letters of credit to facilitate trade activities. The letters of credit are issued primarily in conjunction with credit facilities, which are available to various Mexican banks doing business with the Company.
Income directly attributable to international operations was $11,626,000, $14,128,000 and $22,389,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
(13) Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return. The current and deferred portions of net income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of income are presented below for the years ended December 31:

The net deferred tax liability of $22,532,000 and $36,363,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of condition.
The Company did not record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 because management has concluded it is more likely than not the Company will have future taxable earnings in excess of future tax deductions.
(14) Other Investments
Included in other investments is the Company's investment in Aircraft Finance Trust ("AFT"), a special purpose business trust formed to acquire and lease aircraft. The Company accounts for its investment in AFT under the equity method of accounting. AFT utilizes derivative instruments to manage the interest rate on bonds that it has issued. The derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges and are reported at fair value. The Company records its proportionate share of the fair value of the derivatives as an increase or decrease in the investment in AFT and accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.
The Company's proportionate share of earnings or losses of AFT were losses of $948,000 and $6,799,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Because of the losses from operations that AFT has reported as a result of the events of September 11 and the impact on the airline industry including continued declines in air travel and continued reduced demand for commercial aircraft, the Company evaluated its investment, which resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge of $6,081,000 in 2002.
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's investment in AFT, excluding its proportionate share of the fair value of the AFT derivatives was $0 and $948,000, respectively. The Company's investment including the proportionate share of the fair value of the AFT derivatives at December 31, 2003 and 2002, was $0.
(15) Stock Options
On April 3, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 International Bancshares Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan replaced the 1987 International Bancshares Corporation Key Contributor Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan"). On April 5, 2001, the Board of Directors amended the 1996 plan and added 300,000 shares to the plan. Under the 1987 Plan and the 1996 Plan both qualified incentive stock options ("ISOs") and nonqualified stock options ("NQSOs") may be granted. Options granted may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant, excluding ISOs granted to 10% shareholders, which may be exercisable for a period of up to only five years.
The Company granted nonqualified stock options exercisable for a total of 234,368 shares, adjusted for stock dividends, of Common Stock to certain employees of the GulfStar Group. The grants were not made under either the 1987 Plan or the 1996 Plan. The options are exercisable for a period of seven years and vest in equal increments over a period of five years. All options granted to the GulfStar Group employees had an option price of not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on or about the date of grant.

The Company has a formal stock repurchase program and as part of the program, the Company occasionally repurchases shares of Common Stock related to the exercise of stock options through the surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the option holders.
(16) Adoption of SFAS No. 142
The Company fully adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002 and discontinued amortizing goodwill relating to business combinations consummated before July 1, 2001. As of the date of the adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $69,639,000 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $21,978,000. The Company evaluated its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in prior purchase business combinations and determined that no reclassifications were necessary in order to conform with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. The Company has reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations and determined that no amortization adjustments were necessary and no intangible assets had indefinite lives.
As of January 1, 2002, the Company performed an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill was impaired. The Company concluded that it was probable that the goodwill related to its investment services reporting unit was impaired. The amount of the impairment was $7,893,000, or $5,130,000, net of tax, which has been reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2002. The fair value of the investment services reporting unit was estimated using a combination of capitalized cash flows, discounted cash flows and multiples based on publicly traded company's market capitalization to sales.

(17) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are in various stages of litigation. Some of these actions allege "lender liability" claims on a variety of theories and claim substantial actual and punitive damages. The Company has determined, based on discussions with its counsel that any material loss in such actions, individually or in the aggregate, is remote or the damages sought, even if fully recovered, would not be considered material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, many of these matters are in various stages of proceedings and further developments could cause management to revise its assessment of these matters.
The Company leases portions of its banking premises and equipment under operating leases. Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and non-cancellable lease commitments at December 31, 2003 were not significant.
Cash of approximately $35,865,000 and $62,628,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, was maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve requirements.
The Company's lead bank subsidiary has invested in partnerships, which entered into several lease-financing transactions. The lease-financing transactions in two of the partnerships have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). In both partnerships, the lead bank subsidiary is the owner of a
62
ninety-nine percent (99%) limited partnership interest. The IRS has issued separate Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments ("FPAA") to the partnerships and on September 25, 2001, and January 10, 2003, the Company filed lawsuits contesting the adjustments asserted in the FPAAs.
Prior to filing the lawsuit the Company was required to deposit the estimated tax due of approximately $4,083,000 with respect to the first FPAA, and $7,710,606 with respect to the second FPAA, with the IRS pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. If it is determined that the amount of tax due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than the amount of the deposits, the remaining amount of the deposits would be returned to the Company.
In order to curtail the accrual of additional interest related to the disputed tax benefits and because interest rates were unfavorable, on March 7, 2003, the Company submitted to the IRS a total of $13,640,797, which constitutes the interest that would have accrued based on the adjustments proposed in the FPAAs related to both of the lease-financing transactions. If it is determined that the amount of interest due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than $13,640,797, the remaining amount of the prepaid interest will be refunded to the Company, plus interest thereon.
No reliable prediction can be made at this time as to the likely outcome of the lawsuits; however, if the lawsuits are decided adversely to the partnerships, all or a portion of the $12 million in tax benefits previously recognized by the Company in connection with the Partnerships' lease-financing transactions would be in question and penalties and interest could be assessed by the IRS. The Company has accrued approximately $12 million at December 31, 2003 in connection with the lawsuits. Management intends to continue to evaluate the merits of each matter and make appropriate revisions to the accrued amount as deemed necessary.
(18) Transactions with Related Parties
In the ordinary course of business, the subsidiaries of the Company make loans to directors and executive officers of the Corporation, including their affiliates, families and companies in which they are principal owners. In the opinion of management, these loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The aggregate amounts receivable from such related parties amounted to approximately $48,431,000 and $55,435,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(19) Financial Instruments with Off-Statement of Condition Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk
In the normal course of business, the bank subsidiaries are party to financial instruments with off-statement of condition risk to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to their customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of condition. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the bank subsidiaries have in particular
63
classes of financial instruments. At December 31, 2003, the following financial amounts of instruments, whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding:
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 678,434,000 | |
Credit card lines | 27,893,000 | ||
Standby letters of credit | 62,890,000 | ||
Commercial letters of credit | 1,679,000 |
The Company enters into a standby letter of credit to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. Under the standby letters of credit, the Company is required to make payments to the beneficiary of the letters of credit upon request by the beneficiary so long as all performance criteria have been met. At December 31, 2003, the maximum potential amount of future payments is $62,890,000. At December 31, 2003, the fair value of these guarantees is not significant.
The Company enters into commercial letters of credit on behalf of its customers which authorize a third party to draw drafts on the Company up to a stipulated amount and with specific terms and conditions. A commercial letter of credit is a conditional commitment on the part of the Company to provide payment on drafts drawn in accordance with the terms of the commercial letter of credit.
The bank subsidiaries' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the above financial instruments is represented by the contractual amounts of the instruments. The bank subsidiaries use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-statement of condition instruments. The bank subsidiaries control the credit risk of these transactions through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates normally less than one year or other termination clauses and may require the 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. The bank subsidiaries evaluate each customer's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the subsidiary banks upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include residential and commercial real estate, bank certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and inventory.
The bank subsidiaries make commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers principally located in Webb, Bexar, Caldwell, Travis, Comal, Hays, Burnet, Maverick, Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr and Zapata counties in Central and South Texas as well as Matagorda, Brazoria, Galveston, Fort Bend, Calhoun, and Harris counties in Southeast Texas. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economic conditions in these areas, especially in the real estate and commercial business sectors.
64
(20) Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements
Bank regulatory agencies limit the amount of dividends, which the bank subsidiaries can pay the Corporation, through IBC Subsidiary Corporation, without obtaining prior approval from such agencies. At December 31, 2003, the subsidiary banks could pay dividends of up to $250,000,000 to the Company without prior regulatory approval and without adversely affecting their "well capitalized" status. In addition to legal requirements, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the bank subsidiaries' total capital in relation to their deposits and other factors. These capital adequacy considerations also limit amounts available for payment of dividends. The Company historically has not allowed any subsidiary bank to pay dividends in such a manner as to impair its capital adequacy.
The Company and the bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-statement of condition items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table on the following page) of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2003, that the Company and each of the bank subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized all the bank subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized" the Company and the bank subsidiaries must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the categorization of the Company or any of the bank subsidiaries as well capitalized.

(21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions for the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002 are outlined below.
Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Time Deposits with Banks
As the contract interest rates are comparable to current market rates, the carrying amount approximates fair market value.
67
Investment Securities
For investment securities, which include U. S. Treasury securities, obligations of other U. S. government agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions and mortgage pass through and related securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Fair values are based on the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, or estimated transaction costs. See disclosures of fair value of investment securities in Note 3.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, real estate and consumer loans as outlined by regulatory reporting guidelines. Each category is segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms and by performing and non-performing categories.
For variable rate performing loans, the carrying amount approximates the fair value. For fixed rate performing loans, except residential mortgage loans, the fair value is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For performing residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using discount rates based on secondary market sources or the primary origination market. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of fixed rate performing loans was $765,458,000 and $970,967,000 respectively, and the estimated fair value was $775,280,000 and $977,985,000, respectively.
Fair value for significant non-performing loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market and specific borrower information. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the net carrying amount of non-performing loans was a reasonable estimate of the fair value.
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, savings accounts and interest bearing demand deposit accounts, was equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is based on currently offered rates. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of time deposits was $2,225,611,000 and $2,293,026,000, respectively, and the estimated fair value was $2,211,589,000 and $2,273,994,000, respectively.
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements and Other Borrowed Funds
Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair value at December 31, 2003 and 2002.
68
Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair value at December 31, 2003.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit
Commitments to extend credit and fund letters of credit are principally at current interest rates and therefore the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and off-statement of condition financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include the bank premises and equipment and core deposit value. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the effect of fair value estimates have not been considered in the above estimates.
