BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prosperity Bank (the "Bank") and Prosperity Holdings, Inc. These financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Commercial Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Commercial") with and into the Company which was effective on February 23, 2001 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. 2.

(SM) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 2002 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) (UNAUDITED) 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS 142 specifies that, among other things, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and goodwill will no longer be amortized. The standard requires goodwill to be periodically tested for impairment and written down to fair value if considered impaired. The provisions of SFAS 142 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company did not record $341,000 in goodwill amortization that would have been recorded prior to adoption of SFAS 142. In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. The statement requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The adoption this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. It supersedes, with exceptions, SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Management believes the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 4.

(SM) (the "Company") is a registered financial holding company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of Prosperity Bank (SM) (the "Bank"). The Bank, which changed its name from First Prosperity Bank(SM) on May 1, 2001, is a full-service bank that provides a broad line of financial products and services to small and medium-sized businesses and consumers through 29 full-service banking locations with eighteen locations in the Greater Houston CMSA and an additional eleven locations in eight contiguous counties located south and southwest of Houston. The Greater Houston CMSA includes Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, and Montgomery counties. Total assets were $1.29 billion at March 31, 2002 compared with $1.26 billion at December 31, 2001. Total loans decreased to $420.9 million at March 31, 2002 from $424.4 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 0.82%. Total deposits were $1.14 billion at March 31, 2002 compared with $1.12 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $19.0 million, or 1.7%. Shareholders' equity increased $4.1 million or 4.6%, to $92.8 million at March 31, 2002 compared with $88.7 million at December 31, 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS REPORTED Net income available to common shareholders was $4.5 million ($0.54 per common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with $1.7 million ($0.20 per common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $2.8 million, or 169.4%. The Company posted returns on average common equity of 19.36% and 8.11%, returns on average assets of 1.40% and 0.58% and efficiency ratios of 52.34% and 80.02% for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in earnings per share, ROAA, ROAE and the efficiency ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period in 2001 was primarily due to $2.4 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses and other charges incurred in the first quarter of 2001 in connection with the merger of Commercial Bancshares, Inc. into the Company. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXCLUDING MERGER RELATED EXPENSES Net operating income available to common shareholders, excluding merger-related expenses, was $4.5 million ($0.54 per common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with net operating income of $3.2 million ($0.39 per common share on a diluted basis) for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $1.2 million, or 38.4%. The Company posted returns on average common equity of 19.36% and 10 15.79%, returns on average assets of 1.40% and 1.12% and efficiency ratios of 52.34% and 58.07% for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $12.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $2.7 million, or 29.3%. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase in average interest-earning assets to $1.21 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $1.08 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $135.7 million, or 12.7%. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased to 4.15% from 3.65% for the same periods, principally due to a 198 basis point decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 to 2.61% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, partially offset by a 112 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets from 7.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 to 6.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a "rate change." 11 The following table sets forth, for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The table also sets forth the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest-earning assets for the same periods. Except as indicated in the footnotes, no tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average balances. Any nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the Company based on such factors as historical credit loss experience, industry diversification of the commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume growth and composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through the internal loan review function and other relevant factors. Loans are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the provision for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. The Company made a $120,000 provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with no provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, net recoveries were $21,000. Noninterest Income The Company's primary sources of noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts and other banking service related fees. Noninterest income totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared with $2.0 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $126,000, or 6.19%. 13 The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------- 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- (Dollars in thousands) Service charges on deposit accounts............. $1,858 $ 1,788 Other noninterest income........................ 303 247 ------ ------ Total noninterest income...................... $2,161 $ 2,035 ====== ======= Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense totaled $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 16.1%. The decrease was primarily due to the $2.4 million in merger-related expenses and other charges incurred in connection with the merger of Commercial with the Company in February 2001. The $2.4 million in merger- related charges include closing costs, legal fees, accounting fees, broker fees, employee related costs, and contract terminations. Had the Company not incurred the $2.4 million in merger-related expenses in 2001, noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 would have increased $958,000 or 14.3% compared with the same period in 2001. This increase is principally due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and increases in minority interest expense-trust preferred securities. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest expense: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------- 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- (Dollars in thousands) Salaries and employee benefits....................... $3,909 $3,335 Non-staff expenses: Net occupancy expense........................... 479 516 Depreciation.................................... 373 415 Data processing................................. 457 505 Regulatory assessments and FDIC insurance....... 73 51 Ad valorem and franchise taxes.................. 121 126 Goodwill amortization........................... -- 341 Minority interest expense-trust preferred securities................................... 498 288 Merger related expenses......................... -- 2,425 Other........................................... 1,752 1,127 ------- ------- Total non-staff expenses............................. 3,753 5,794 Total noninterest expense............................ $7,662 $9,129 ====== ====== Salaries and employee benefit expenses were $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $574,000, or 17.2%. The change was principally due to annual employee salary increases and additional accumulations for 2002 anticipated incentive compensation. Non-staff expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 35.2%, to $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period in 2001. The decrease was principally due to the $2.4 million one-time merger-related charges. In addition, as a result of a recent accounting change, goodwill amortization decreased from $341,000 to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period in 2001. Goodwill Amortization In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). SFAS No. 142 14 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121 and subsequently, SFAS No. 144 after its adoption. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001 are no longer amortized. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company did not record $341,000 in goodwill amortization that would have been recorded prior to the adoption of SFAS 142. Income Taxes Income tax expense increased $1.4 million to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $540,000 for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to higher pretax net earnings which resulted from an increase in the net interest margin and lower net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. In addition, the Company incurred $2.4 million in merger-related expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 which had a tax benefit of approximately $849,000. FINANCIAL CONDITION Loan Portfolio Total loans were $420.9 million at March 31, 2002, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 0.82% from $424.4 million at December 31, 2001. Period end loans comprised 34.8% of average earning assets at March 31, 2002 compared with 38.0% at December 31, 2001. The following table summarizes the loan portfolio of the Company by type of loan as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001: March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 ------------------ ------------------- Amount Percent Amount Percent --------- ------- -------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) Commercial and industrial........ $ 45,774 10.9% $ 46,986 11.1% Real estate: Construction and land development............... 21,205 5.0 20,963 4.9 1-4 family residential......... 174,946 41.6 175,253 41.3 Home equity.................... 21,142 5.0 20,541 4.8 Commercial mortgages........... 82,410 19.6 78,446 18.5 Farmland....................... 11,810 2.8 10,686 2.5 Multifamily residential........ 10,164 2.4 9,694 2.3 Agriculture...................... 16,863 4.0 15,757 3.7 Other............................ 1,026 0.2 953 0.2 Consumer......................... 35,576 8.5 45,121 10.7 -------- ----- -------- ---- Total loans................. $420,916 100.0% $ 424,400 100.0% ======== ===== ========= ===== Nonperforming Assets The Company had $68,000 in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2002 and $1,000 in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2001. The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when the payment of principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. The Company generally charges off all loans before attaining nonaccrual status. 15 The following table presents information regarding nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated.

Loans are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. As of March 31, 2002, the allowance for credit losses amounted to $6.1 million, or 1.46% of total loans compared with $6.0 million, or 1.41% of total loans at December 31, 2001. Set forth below is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001: Three Months Ended Year Ended March 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 ---------------------- ----------------- (Dollars in thousands) Average loans outstanding.......................... $ 417,098 $ 419,553 ========== ========= Gross loans outstanding at end of period........... $ 420,916 $ 424,400 ========== ========= Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period.............................. $ 5,985 $ 5,523 Provision for credit losses........................ 120 700 Charge-offs: Commercial and industrial........................

Nonperforming loans totaled $1,000 at December 31, 2001. 16 Securities Securities totaled $797.5 million at March 31, 2002 compared with $752.3 million at December 31 2001, an increase of $45.2 million, or 6.0%. At March 31, 2002, securities represented 61.8% of total assets compared with 59.6% of total assets at December 31, 2001. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $15.4 million and $15.1 million at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Deposits Total deposits were $1.14 billion at March 31, 2002 compared with $1.12 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $19.0 million or 16.7%. At March 31, 2002, non-interest bearing deposits accounted for approximately 15.7% of total deposits compared with 16.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2001. Interest-bearing demand deposits totaled $963.4 million, or 84.3%, of total deposits at March 31, 2002 compared with $934.6 million, or 83.2%, of total deposits at December 31, 2001. Other Borrowings Deposits are the primary source of funds for the Company's lending and investment activities. Occasionally, the Company obtains additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and correspondent banks. At March 31, 2002, the Company had $19.1 million in FHLB borrowings, of which $13.1 million consisted of FHLB notes payable and $6.0 million consisted of FHLB advances. The FHLB advances are secured by a blanket lien on the Bank's first mortgage loans against one-to-four family residential properties. The maturity dates on the FHLB notes payable range from the years 2004 to 2018 and have interest rates ranging from 5.95% to 6.48%. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $18.1 million in FHLB borrowings of which $13.3 million consisted of FHLB notes payable and $4.8 million consisted of FHLB advances. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under a revolving line of credit extended by a commercial bank. Trust Preferred Securities At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company's subsidiary trusts had outstanding $27.0 million in trust preferred securities. Liquidity Effective management of balance sheet liquidity is necessary to fund growth in earning assets and to pay liability maturities, depository customers' withdrawal requirements and shareholders' dividends. The Company has numerous sources of liquidity including a significant portfolio of shorter-term assets, marketable investment securities (excluding those presently classified as "held-to-maturity"), increases in customers' deposits, and access to borrowing arrangements. Available borrowing arrangements maintained by the Company include federal funds lines with other commercial banks and an advancement arrangement with the FHLB. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or which will mature in the near future. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $27.0 million, down from $41.7 million at December 31, 2001. Capital Resources Total shareholders' equity was $92.8 million at March 31, 2002 compared with $88.7 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $4.1 million, or 4.6%. The increase was due primarily to net earnings of $4.5 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $893,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. 17 Both the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, with respect to the Company, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), with respect to the Bank, have established certain minimum risk-based capital standards that apply to bank holding companies and federally insured banks. As of March 31, 2002, the Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios were 18.66%, 19.85% and 7.68%, respectively. As of March 31, 2002, the Bank's risk-based capital ratios were above the levels required for the Bank to be designated as "well capitalized" by the FDIC, with Tier-1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios of 16.14%, 17.33% and 6.64%, respectively. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company manages market risk, which for the Company is primarily interest rate risk, through its Asset Liability Committee which is composed of senior officers of the Company, in accordance with policies approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company uses simulation analysis to examine the potential effects of market changes on net interest income and market value. It considers macroeconomic variables, Company strategy, liquidity and other factors as it quantifies market risk. There have been no material changes of this nature since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filing on March 8, 2002.
