FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS Board of Directors and Shareholders Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc.: We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2001, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2001 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2000 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc. (the "Company") and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Southwest Holding Delaware, Inc. (the "Delaware Company"), Southwest Bank of Texas National Association (the "Bank"), and Mitchell Mortgage Company, LLC ("Mitchell"). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of First National Bank of Bay City, a 58% owned subsidiary of the Delaware Company. In connection with the Company's December 2000 merger with Citizens Bankers, Inc. ("Citizens") and acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of Citizens Bankers Limited Partnership ("CBLP"), the historical financial data has been restated to include the accounts and operations of Citizens and CBLP for all periods prior to the merger date. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, consolidated income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated changes in shareholders' equity for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information as of June 30, 2001 and for the three months and six months then ended, because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act. New Accounting Pronouncement On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 amends APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, to prohibit use of the pooling-of-interest (pooling) method of accounting for business combinations initiated after the issuance date of the final Statement. SFAS No. 142 amends APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets, by stating that goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment in a manner different from how other assets are tested for impairment. SFAS No. 142 establishes a new method of testing goodwill for impairment by requiring that goodwill be separately tested for impairment using a fair value approach rather than an undiscounted cash flow approach. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 must be adopted at the beginning of a fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these Statements. 7 9 SOUTHWEST BANCORPORATION OF TEXAS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SPECIAL CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain of the matters discussed in this document and in documents incorporated by reference herein, including matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," may constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: (a) the effects of future economic conditions on the Company and its customers; (b) governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; (c) the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest rate protection agreements, as well as interest rate risks; (d) the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer and the internet; and (e) the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for loan losses and estimations of values of collateral and various financial assets and liabilities. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. OVERVIEW On December 29, 2000, the Company and Citizens Bankers, Inc. ("Citizens") completed their merger, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The merger agreement provided for the exchange of 249.443 shares of the Company's Common Stock for each share of Citizens Stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 3.9 million shares of Company Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. In a related transaction, the Company, Citizens Bankers Limited Partnership ("CBLP") and Baytown Land I, Ltd., the general partner of CBLP, entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of CBLP. CBLP's primary assets and liabilities were the bank building located at 1300 Rollingbrook and the related debt to third parties. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued approximately 106,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. The financial data preceding the merger date has been restated to include the interests and operations of Citizens and CBLP. Total assets at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were $3.94 billion. Gross loans were $2.63 billion at June 30, 2001, an increase of $115.9 million or 5% from $2.51 billion at December 31, 2000. Shareholders' equity was $331.7 million and $298.0 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net income was $25.1 million ($0.73 per diluted share) compared to $21.5 million ($0.65 per diluted share) for the same period in 2000, an increase of 16%. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, net income was $12.5 million ($0.37 per diluted share) compared to $11.3 million ($0.34 per diluted share) for the same period in 2000, an increase of 11%. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders' equity for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 1.30% and 15.56%, respectively, as compared to 1.32% and 18.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. 9 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest Income Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $65.4 million, a decrease of $592,000, or 1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease in interest income is due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 79 basis points when compared to the same period in 2000. This decrease is partially offset by a $292.5 million increase in average earning assets to $3.47 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 9% increase from the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, interest income was $136.1 million, a $9.4 million, or 7%, increase from the same period a year ago. This increase in interest income is due to a $368.4 million increase in average earning assets to $3.47 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 12% increase from the same period last year. Interest income on loans increased $866,000 to $51.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This was due to a $355.2 million increase in average loans outstanding during the same period. The average yield on loans was 8.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 116 basis points when compared to the same period in 2000. Interest income on securities decreased to $12.8 million, a $1.6 million decrease from the three month period ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was attributable to a $89.8 million decrease in average securities outstanding, down 10% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, interest income on loans increased 11% to $107.8 million, up from $96.8 million for the same period last year. This was due to a $415.9 million increase in average loans outstanding during the same period. The average yield on loans was 8.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 58 basis points when compared to the same period in 2000. Interest income on securities decreased to $26.4 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 8%, from the six month period ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was attributable to a $80.3 million decrease in average securities outstanding, down 9% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on securities to 6.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 6.34% for the same period in 2000. Interest Expense Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $26.9 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 8%, from the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities to 3.97% for the period, a decrease of 88 basis points when compared to the same period in 2000. This decrease is partially offset by a $299.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $2.72 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 12% from the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $58.9 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase in interest expense was attributable to a $355.5 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $2.72 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 15% from the same period last year. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities to 4.37% for the period, a decrease of 34 basis points when compared to the same period in 2000. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared with $36.9 million for the same period in 2000, an increase of 4%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net interest income increased 8% from the same period in 2000 to $77.3 million. The increase in net interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 is attributable to growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans, partially offset by decreases in the net interest margin of 22 basis points and 15 basis points, respectively. 10 12 During the first half of 2001, market interest rates declined due to actions of the Federal Reserve aimed at stimulating the national economy. This decline in interest rates has unfavorably impacted the Company's net interest margin. While additional reductions in interest rates may be expected, the Company believes that its ability to manage its interest rate sensitivity will minimize the potential adverse impact on net interest income for the year 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the net interest margin declined to 4.45% compared to 4.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease resulted from a decrease on the yield on interest-earning assets of 79 basis points from 8.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to 7.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds of 88 basis points, from 4.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to 3.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net interest margin declined to 4.49% compared to 4.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This decrease resulted from a decrease on the yield on interest-earning assets of 31 basis points from 8.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 7.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds of 34 basis points, from 4.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 4.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. 11 13 The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 JUNE 30, 2000 -------------------------------- -------------------------------- AVERAGE INTEREST AVERAGE AVERAGE INTEREST AVERAGE OUTSTANDING EARNED/ YIELD/ OUTSTANDING EARNED/ YIELD/ BALANCE PAID RATE BALANCE PAID RATE ----------- -------- ------- ----------- -------- ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) ASSETS Interest-earning assets: Loans............................... $2,577,869 $51,832 8.06% $2,222,714 $50,966 9.22% Securities.......................... 823,346 12,841 6.26 913,097 14,434 6.36 Federal funds sold and other........ 67,566 754 4.48 40,516 619 6.14 ---------- ------- ---- ---------- ------- ---- Total interest-earning assets.... 3,468,781 65,427 7.57% 3,176,327 66,019 8.36% ------- ---- ------- ---- Less allowance for loan losses........

The provision for loan losses was $3.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that the present allowance for loan losses is adequate considering loss experience, delinquency trends and current economic conditions. Management regularly reviews the Company's loan loss allowance as its loan portfolio grows and diversifies. (See -- Financial Condition -- Loan Review and Allowance for Loan Losses.) Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $14.0 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 35%, from $10.4 million during the comparable period in 2000. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $27.5 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 32%, from $20.8 million during the comparable period in 2000. The following table presents for the periods indicated the composition of noninterest income. 14 16 <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------ ------------------ 2001 2000 2001 2000 ------- ------- ------- ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Service charges on deposit accounts......... $ 6,096 $ 4,969 $11,780 $ 9,962 Investment services......................... 1,702 1,526 3,395 2,914 Factoring fee income........................ 1,202 954 2,346 1,826 Loan fee income............................. 915 943 1,759 2,060 Bank-owned life insurance income............ 1,170 393 2,090 849 Letters of credit fee income................ 308 250 628 471 Gain on sale of loans, net.................. 1,076 286 1,796 417 Gain (loss) on sale of securities, net...... 8 (3) 25 (2) Other income................................ 1,553 1,099 3,675 2,346 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total noninterest income............... $14,030 $10,417 $27,494 $20,843 ======= ======= ======= ======= </Table> The largest component of noninterest income, service charges on deposit accounts, was $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.1 million, or 23%, from $5.0 million for the same period last year. Service charges on deposit accounts were $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.8 million, or 18%, from $10.0 million for the same period last year. This resulted primarily from an increase in the number of deposit accounts serviced, which grew from 134,888 at June 30, 2000 to 147,136 at June 30, 2001. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $777,000, or 198%, from $393,000 for the same period last year. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.2 million, or 146%, from $849,000 for the same period last year. This increase is attributable to the purchase of additional bank-owned life insurance early in the first quarter of 2001. Gain on sale of loans was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $790,000, or 276%, from $286,000 for the same period last year. Gain on sale of loans was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.4 million, or 331%, from $417,000 for the same period last year. The principal balance of mortgage loans sold was $49.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $11.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The principal balance of mortgage loans sold for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $71.0 million compared to $22.8 million for the comparable period last year. Additional areas of growth included factoring fee income and investment services income. Factoring fee income is derived from the financing of accounts receivable. Average gross accounts receivable purchased was $27.5 million and $27.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to $21.7 million and $19.9 million for the comparable periods last year. The increase in investment services income is attributable to the expanding international and foreign exchange departments, as well as the continued strategic focus by the Company to increase its competitive position in providing investment services. Noninterest Expenses For the three months ended June 30, 2001, noninterest expenses totaled $32.3 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 14%, from $28.3 million during 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, noninterest expenses totaled $64.3 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 14%, from the same period in 2000. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. The efficiency ratio was 61.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with 59.79% for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the efficiency ratio was 61.41% compared with 61.00% for the same period last year. Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $19.5 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 19%, from the three months ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits was $38.3 15 17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $6.0 million, or 19%, from $32.3 for the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to hiring of additional personnel required to accommodate the Company's growth. Total full-time employees were 1,306 and 1,233 at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Occupancy expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $5.1 million, an increase of $862,000, or 20%, from the three months ended June 30, 2000. Occupancy expense was $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.7 million, or 20%, from $8.4 for the same period last year. Major categories within occupancy expense are building lease expense and depreciation expense. Building lease expense increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.0 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of $523,000 or 51%. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, building lease expense was $3.0 million, an increase of $973,000, or 47%, from $2.1 million for the same period last year. The Company leased 91,689 square feet for an operations center in downtown Houston late in the prior year. Depreciation expense increased $562,000, or 28%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, depreciation expense was $4.9 million, an increase of $927,000, or 23%, from $4.0 million for the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to depreciation on equipment provided to new employees and expenses related to technology upgrades throughout the Company. In addition, the Company recorded $111,000 and $194,000 of depreciation expense related to the leasehold improvements at the new operations center during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. Income Taxes Income tax expense includes the regular federal income tax at the statutory rate, plus the income tax component of the Texas franchise tax. The amount of federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of nondeductible interest expense, and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. Taxable income for the income tax component of the Texas franchise tax is the federal pre-tax income, plus certain officers' salaries, less interest income from federal securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the provision for income taxes was $5.9 million, an increase of $145,000, or 3%, from the $5.8 million provided for the same period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, income tax expense was $11.8 million, an increase of $878,000, or 8%, from the $11.0 million provided for the same period in 2000. The Company's effective tax rate was 32% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The effective tax rate was 34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. The reduced rate is primarily due to an increase in income earned on the Company's bank-owned life insurance and tax exempt securities. 16 18 FINANCIAL CONDITION Loans Held for Investment Loans held for investment were $2.55 billion at June 30, 2001, an increase of $120.2 million, or 5%, from $2.43 billion at December 31, 2000. The following table summarizes the loan portfolio of the Company by type of loan as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 --------------------- --------------------- AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ---------- ------- ---------- ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial and industrial................ $1,020,735 40.10% $ 954,912 39.37% Real estate: Construction and land development...... 677,731 26.62 641,128 26.43 1-4 family residential................. 350,632 13.77 335,934 13.85 Commercial owner occupied.............. 293,352 11.53 265,534 10.95 Farmland............................... 4,891 0.19 5,753 0.24 Other.................................. 25,104 0.99 31,861 1.31 Consumer................................. 173,210 6.80 190,376 7.85 ---------- ------ ---------- ------ Loans held for investment................ $2,545,655 100.00% $2,425,498 100.00% ========== ====== ========== ====== </Table> The primary lending focus of the Company is on small- and medium-sized commercial, construction and land development, residential mortgage and consumer loans. The Company offers a variety of commercial lending products including term loans, lines of credit and equipment financing. A broad range of short- to medium-term commercial loans, both collateralized and uncollateralized, are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisitions of real estate and improvements) and the purchase of equipment and machinery. The purpose of a particular loan generally determines its structure. Generally, the Company's commercial loans are underwritten in the greater Houston metropolitan area on the basis of the borrower's ability to service such debt from cash flow. As a general practice, the Company takes as collateral a lien on any available real estate, equipment or other assets. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. A substantial portion of the Company's real estate loans consists of loans collateralized by real estate and other assets of commercial customers. Additionally, a portion of the Company's lending activity consists of the origination of single-family residential mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company's primary market area. The Company offers a variety of mortgage loan products which generally are amortized over five to 30 years. Loans collateralized by single-family residential real estate generally have been originated in amounts of no more than 90% of appraised value. The Company requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance in the amount of the loan. Although the contractual loan payment periods for single-family residential real estate loans are generally for a 15 to 30 year period, such loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms. The Company originates and purchases residential and commercial mortgage loans to sell to investors with servicing rights retained. The Company also provides residential and commercial construction financing to builders and developers and acts as a broker in the origination of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Residential construction financing to builders generally has been originated in amounts of no more than 80% of appraised value. The Company requires a mortgage title binder and builder's risk insurance in the 17 19 amount of the loan. The contractual loan payment periods for residential construction loans are generally for a six to twelve month period. Consumer loans made by the Company include automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized) and deposit account collateralized loans. The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 84 months and vary based upon the nature of collateral and size of the loan. The contractual maturity ranges of the commercial and industrial and real estate construction and land development loan portfolio and the amount of such loans with fixed interest rates and floating interest rates in each maturity range as of June 30, 2001 are summarized in the following table: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------- AFTER ONE AFTER ONE YEAR THROUGH FIVE OR LESS FIVE YEARS YEARS TOTAL ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial and industrial............. $ 684,206 $304,297 $32,232 $1,020,735 Real estate construction and land development......................... 385,932 269,014 22,785 677,731 ---------- -------- ------- ---------- Total............................ $1,070,138 $573,311 $55,017 $1,698,466 ========== ======== ======= ========== Loans with a fixed interest rate...... $ 471,037 $153,880 $23,460 $ 648,377 Loans with a floating interest rate... 599,101 419,431 31,557 1,050,089 ---------- -------- ------- ---------- Total............................ $1,070,138 $573,311 $55,017 $1,698,466 ========== ======== ======= ========== </Table> Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale of $81.7 million at June 30, 2001 decreased from $85.9 million at December 31, 2000. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and typically sold to investors within one year of origination. Loan Review and Allowance for Loan Losses The Company's loan review procedures include a Credit Quality Assurance Process that begins with approval of lending policies and underwriting guidelines by the Board of Directors, an independent loan review department staffed with OCC experienced personnel, low individual lending limits for officers, Senior Loan Committee approval for large credit relationships and quality loan documentation procedures. The Company also maintains a well developed monitoring process for credit extensions in excess of $100,000. The Company performs monthly and quarterly concentration analyses based on various factors such as industries, collateral types, business lines, large credit sizes, international investments and officer portfolio loads. The Company has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its officers. The Company also monitors its delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's loan portfolio will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credits due to general economic conditions. Historically, the Houston metropolitan area has been affected by the state of the energy business, but since the mid 1980's the economic impact has been reduced by a combination of increased industry diversification and less reliance on debt to finance expansion. When energy prices fluctuate, it is the Company's practice to review and adjust underwriting standards with respect to companies affected by oil and gas price volatility, and to continuously monitor existing credit exposure to companies which are impacted by this price volatility. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses to the Board of Directors, indicating any changes in the allowance since the last review and any 18 20 recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluation, management considers, among other things, growth in the loan portfolio, the diversification by industry of the Company's commercial loan portfolio, the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values, the results of recent regulatory examinations, the effects on the loan portfolio of current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, the amount of charge-offs for the period, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral security and the evaluation of its loan portfolio by the loan review function. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be uncollectible. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the risk classification or delinquency status of loans and other factors, such as collateral value, portfolio composition, trends in economic conditions and the financial strength of borrowers. Management establishes specific allowances for loans which management believes require reserves greater than those allocated according to their classification or delinquent status. The Company then charges to operations a provision for loan losses determined on an annualized basis to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level determined according to the foregoing methodology. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2001 is adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio as of such date. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods, which could be greater than the size of the allowance at June 30, 2001. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of the allowance for loan losses and other related data: <Table> <Caption> SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 2001 2000 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Allowance for loan losses, beginning balance................ $28,150 $22,436 Provision charged against operations........................ 3,500 7,053 Charge-offs.................................................

Portions of the allowance for loan losses are allocated to cover the estimated losses inherent in particular risk categories of loans. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based upon the Company's loss experience over a period of years and is adjusted for subjective factors such as economic trends, performance trends, portfolio age and concentrations of credit. 19 21 The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future loan losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of loans. <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 --------------------- --------------------- PERCENT OF PERCENT OF LOANS TO LOANS TO AMOUNT TOTAL LOANS AMOUNT TOTAL LOANS ------- ----------- ------- ----------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Balance of allowance for loan losses applicable to: Commercial and industrial........................... $13,559 40.10% $12,219 39.37% Real estate: Construction and land development................. 7,007 26.62 5,733 26.43 1-4 family residential............................ 2,897 13.77 3,294 13.85 Commercial owner occupied......................... 2,764 11.53 2,676 10.95 Farmland.......................................... -- 0.19 40 0.24 Other............................................. 1,467 0.99 1,253 1.31 Consumer............................................ 2,896 6.80 2,935 7.85 ------- ------ ------- ------ Total allowance for loan losses..................... $30,590 100.00% $28,150 100.00% ======= ====== ======= ====== </Table> Nonperforming Assets and Impaired Loans The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All loans past due 90 days are placed on nonaccrual status, unless the loan is both well collateralized and in the process of collection. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as nonaccrual are recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to collection. Nonperforming assets were $8.5 million at June 30, 2001 compared with $9.9 million at December 31, 2000. This resulted in a ratio of nonperforming assets to loans plus other real estate of 0.33% and 0.41% at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Nonaccrual loans, the largest component of nonperforming assets, were $5.9 million at June 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.4 million from $8.3 million at December 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the reclassification of a $1.1 million loan secured by two houses and real estate. The two houses were sold during 2001. The real estate has been foreclosed and is classified as other real estate and foreclosed property. Additionally, a $500,000 construction loan classified as nonaccrual at December 31, 2000 was paid in full in June 2001. The following table presents information regarding nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2001 2000 -------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Nonaccrual loans............................................ $5,895 $8,345 Accruing loans 90 or more days past due..................... 1,223 1,107 Other real estate and foreclosed property................... 1,351 454 ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets............................. $8,469 $9,906 ====== ====== Nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate... 0.33% 0.41% </Table> The Company regularly updates appraisals on loans collateralized by real estate, particularly those categorized as nonperforming loans and potential problem loans. In instances where updated appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, an evaluation of the borrower's overall financial condition is made to determine the need, if any, for possible writedowns or appropriate additions to the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company's impaired loans were approximately $6.5 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The largest component of impaired loans at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is a secured relationship which is expected to be a long term workout. The balance outstanding to this borrower was $4.3 million and $5.5 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The Company has charged off $800,000 related to this borrower during the 20 22 six months ended June 30, 2001. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000 was $8.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The total required allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $635,000 and $1.0 million for each reported period, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $114,000 and $198,000 was recognized for cash payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively. Securities At the date of purchase, the Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available for sale. At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed. Investments in debt securities classified as held to maturity are stated at cost increased by accretion of discounts and reduced by amortization of premiums, both computed by the interest method, only if management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Securities not classified as either held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using the specific-identification method. The Company has classified all securities as available for sale at June 30, 2001 which allows the Company to manage its investment portfolio more effectively and to enhance the average yield on the portfolio. The amortized cost and approximate fair value of securities classified as available for sale is as follows: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- GROSS UNREALIZED GROSS UNREALIZED AMORTIZED ---------------- FAIR AMORTIZED ---------------- FAIR COST GAIN LOSS VALUE COST GAIN LOSS VALUE --------- ------ ------- -------- --------- ------ ------- -------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) U.S. Government securities... $ 83,412 $1,504 $ (99) $ 84,817 $169,069 $1,080 $ (819) $169,330 Mortgage-backed securities... 589,044 5,462 (3,142) 591,364 618,523 2,088 (7,395) 613,216 Municipal securities......... 85,993 536 (169) 86,360 28,414 148 (27) 28,535 Federal Reserve Bank stock... 4,207 -- -- 4,207 3,949 -- -- 3,949 Federal Home Loan Bank stock...................... 7,229 -- -- 7,229 17,972 -- -- 17,972 Other securities............. 33,336 226 (11) 33,551 14,997 187 (22) 15,162 -------- ------ ------- -------- -------- ------ ------- -------- TOTAL SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE..... $803,221 $7,728 $(3,421) $807,528 $852,924 $3,503 $(8,263) $848,164 ======== ====== ======= ======== ======== ====== ======= ======== </Table> Securities totaled $807.5 million at June 30, 2001, a decrease of $40.6 million from $848.1 million at December 31, 2000. The yield on the securities portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 6.41% while the yield was 6.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company has no mortgage-backed securities that have been issued by non-agency entities. Included in the Company's mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2001 were agency issued collateral mortgage obligations with a book value of $300.5 million and a fair value of $301.3 million. At June 30, 2001, $446.6 million of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company had final maturities of more than 10 years. At June 30, 2001, approximately $68.6 million of the Company's mortgage-backed securities earned interest at floating rates and repriced within one year, and accordingly were less susceptible to declines in value should interest rates increase. In connection with the Citizens merger, the Company transferred all of Citizens' held to maturity debt securities to the available for sale category in 2000. The amortized cost of these securities at the time of transfer was $55.8 million and the unrealized gain was $267,000 ($174,000 net of income taxes). The following table summarizes the contractual maturity of investments (including securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits) and their weighted average yields at June 30, 2001. The yield on the 21 23 securities portfolio is based on average historical cost balances and does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income. <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AFTER ONE AFTER FIVE YEAR BUT YEARS BUT WITHIN WITHIN WITHIN AFTER ONE YEAR FIVE YEARS TEN YEARS TEN YEARS ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- AMORTIZED AMORTIZED AMORTIZED AMORTIZED COST YIELD COST YIELD COST YIELD COST YIELD TOTAL YIELD --------- ----- --------- ----- --------- ----- --------- ----- -------- ----- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) U.S. Government securities............. $ 42,969 6.26% $ 34,946 6.48% $ 4,990 6.19% $ 507 6.22% $ 83,412 6.35% Mortgage-backed securities............. 1,622 5.92 64,774 6.24 76,040 6.17 446,608 6.24 589,044 6.23 Municipal securities..... 5,279 5.12 9,378 4.47 6,431 4.71 64,905 5.30 85,993 5.15 Federal Reserve Bank stock.................. 4,207 6.00 -- -- -- -- -- -- 4,207 6.00 Federal Home Loan Bank stock.................. 7,229 5.60 -- -- -- -- -- -- 7,229 5.60 Other securities......... 24,317 2.90 7,862 6.96 994 6.58 163 9.26 33,336 4.00 Federal funds sold....... 68,216 3.79 -- -- -- -- -- -- 68,216 3.79 Interest-bearing deposits............... 2,934 3.77 -- -- -- -- -- -- 2,934 3.77 -------- ---- -------- ---- ------- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- Total investments.... $156,773 4.54% $116,960 6.22% $88,455 6.07% $512,183 6.13% $874,371 5.85% ======== ==== ======== ==== ======= ==== ======== ==== ======== ==== </Table> Other Assets Other assets were $159.5 million at June 30, 2001, an increase of $41.7 million from $117.8 million at December 31, 2000. This increase is attributable to the purchase of $50 million of additional bank-owned life insurance in the first quarter of 2001. Significant components within other assets include the cash value of bank owned life insurance of $80.2 million and accounts receivable purchased of $24.9 million. Deposits The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The Company's deposits consist of demand, savings, NOW accounts, money market and time accounts. The Company relies primarily on customer service, advertising and competitive pricing policies to attract and retain these deposits. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had less than 2% of its deposits classified as brokered funds and does not anticipate any significant increase. 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. The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, was 29% and 30%, respectively. 22 24 The average daily balances and weighted average rates paid on deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, are presented below: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, 2001 DECEMBER 31, 2000 --------------------- --------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING BALANCE RATE BALANCE RATE ----------- ---- ----------- ---- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) NOW accounts........................................ $ 91,527 2.43% $ 58,093 1.09% Regular savings..................................... 79,184 1.98 74,380 2.28 Premium yield....................................... 841,273 4.25 659,979 5.25 Money market savings................................ 387,714 2.50 425,414 3.16 CD's less than $100,000............................. 308,958 5.65 289,183 5.32 CD's $100,000 and over.............................. 496,053 5.75 464,470 6.17 IRA's, QRP's and other.............................. 75,341 5.47 75,394 5.66 ---------- ---- ---------- ---- Total interest-bearing deposits................ 2,280,050 4.36% $2,046,913 4.82% ==== ==== Noninterest-bearing deposits........................ 797,332 774,111 ---------- ---------- Total deposits................................. $3,077,382 $2,821,024 ========== ========== </Table> The following table sets forth the maturity of the Company's time deposits that are $100,000 or greater as of the dates indicated: <Table> <Caption> JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2001 2000 -------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 3 months or less............................................ $297,749 $265,232 Between 3 months and 6 months............................... 127,468 124,144 Between 6 months and 1 year................................. 71,164 61,774 Over 1 year................................................. 47,336 55,479 -------- -------- Total time deposits $100,000 and over.................. $543,717 $506,629 ======== ======== </Table> Borrowings Securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings, consisting of federal funds purchased, treasury, tax and loan deposits and other bank borrowings, generally represent borrowings with maturities ranging from one to thirty days.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's liquidity needs have primarily been met by growth in core deposits. The cash and federal funds sold position, supplemented by amortizing securities and loan portfolios, have generally created an adequate liquidity position. The Company's risk-based capital ratios including Leverage Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and the Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 8.54%, 10.47% and 11.46%, respectively, at June 30, 2001. Other Matters On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 amends APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, to prohibit use of the pooling-of-interest (pooling) method of accounting for business combinations initiated after the issuance date of the final Statement. SFAS No. 142 amends APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets, by stating that goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment in a manner different from how other assets are tested for impairment. SFAS No. 142 establishes a new method of testing goodwill for impairment by requiring that goodwill be separately tested for impairment using a fair value approach rather than an undiscounted cash flow approach. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 must be adopted at the beginning of a fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these Statements. ITEM 3.
