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 September 30, 2002, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. 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 previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, 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 25, 2002 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, 2001, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Houston, Texas October 29, 2002 2 SOUTHWEST BANCORPORATION OF TEXAS, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited 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"), Mitchell Mortgage Company, LLC ("Mitchell"), Fairview, Inc., SWBT Securities, Inc. and SWBT Insurance Agency, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of First National Bank of Bay City, a 58% owned subsidiary of the Delaware Company. 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 for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated changes in shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. 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, 2001. New Accounting Pronouncements 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-interests (pooling) method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and require the use of purchase accounting. Goodwill generated from purchase business combinations consummated prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 142 was amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside a business combination and the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition. Under the new standard, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment. The standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002 and the impact of adoption was immaterial. On October 24, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. SFAS No. 147 amends previously issued guidance regarding the accounting and reporting for the acquisition of all or part of a financial institution. The statement also provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal of core deposits and is effective for acquisitions after October 1, 2002. Reclassifications Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity. 7 SOUTHWEST BANCORPORATION OF TEXAS, INC.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The Company originates, sells and services single family residential mortgages and commercial mortgages through its ownership of Mitchell. Through Mitchell, the Company also originates and services residential and commercial construction loans. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights in relation to the present value of the estimated future net servicing revenue based on management's best estimate of remaining loan lives. Any excess carrying value is recorded as a valuation allowance with the provision recorded as a component of other fee income in the accompanying statement of income. The following table summarizes the changes in capitalized mortgage servicing rights for the periods indicated: <Table> <Caption> NINE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------------ ------------ Balance, beginning of period........................... $12,008 $12,334 Originations......................................... 1,564 2,247 Purchases............................................ 708 557 Scheduled amortization...............................

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights represent 78 basis points and 94 basis points of the portfolio serviced at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. 8 SOUTHWEST BANCORPORATION OF TEXAS, INC.

Stock options are antidilutive when the exercise price is higher than the current market price of the Company's common stock. 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two operating segments: the bank and the mortgage company. Each segment is managed separately because each business requires different marketing strategies and each offers different products and services. The Company evaluates each segment's performance based on the revenue and expenses from its operations, excluding non-recurring items. Intersegment financing arrangements are accounted for at current market rates as if they were with third parties. Summarized financial information by operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 follows: <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ BANK MORTGAGE ELIMINATIONS CONSOLIDATED BANK MORTGAGE ELIMINATIONS CONSOLIDATED ------- -------- ------------ ------------ ------- -------- ------------ ------------ Interest income........ $58,909 $3,816 $(1,494) $61,231 $62,074 $4,671 $(2,185) $64,560 Interest expense....... 15,490 1,494 (1,494) 15,490 23,786 2,185 (2,185) 23,786 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- Net interest income.... 43,419 2,322 -- 45,741 38,288 2,486 -- 40,774 Provision for loan losses............... 2,918 82 -- 3,000 1,917 83 -- 2,000 Noninterest income..... 17,157 (637) -- 16,520 13,441 1,497 -- 14,938 Noninterest expense.... 35,870 2,274 -- 38,144 31,426 2,154 -- 33,580 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- Income before income taxes................ $21,788 $ (671) $ -- $21,117 $18,386 $1,746 $ -- $20,132 ======= ====== ======= ======= ======= ====== ======= ======= </Table> 9 SOUTHWEST BANCORPORATION OF TEXAS, INC.

OVERVIEW Total assets at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $4.84 billion and $4.40 billion, respectively. Gross loans were $3.01 billion at September 30, 2002, an increase of $250.9 million, or 9%, from $2.76 billion at December 31, 2001. Shareholders' equity was $434.6 million and $361.7 million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net income was $43.3 million ($1.26 per diluted share) compared to $38.7 million ($1.14 per diluted share) for the same period in 2001, an increase of 12%. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, net income was $14.6 million ($0.42 per diluted share) compared to $13.7 million ($0.40 per diluted share) for the same period in 2001, an increase of 7%. Return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was 1.25% and 13.59%, respectively, as compared to 1.34% and 15.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity was 1.30% and 14.62%, respectively, as compared to 1.32% and 16.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income by the daily average of total assets. Return on average shareholders' equity is calculated by dividing annualized net income by the daily average of common shareholders' equity. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTEREST INCOME Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $61.2 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease in interest income is due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of 118 basis points when compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease is partially offset by a $514.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets to $4.17 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a 14% increase from the same period last year. For the nine months ended 11 September 30, 2002, interest income was $178.8 million, a $21.9 million, or 11%, decrease from the same period a year ago. This decrease in interest income is due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of 165 basis points when compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease is partially offset by a $483.6 million increase in average interest-earning assets to $4.01 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a 14% increase from the same period last year. Interest income on loans decreased $5.2 million to $45.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease was due to a 135 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 7.55% for the same period last year. This decrease is partially offset by a $251.5 million increase in average loans outstanding to $2.93 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a 9% increase from the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, interest income on loans decreased 16% to $133.9 million, down from $158.7 million for the same period last year. This decrease was due to a 187 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 8.16% for the same period last year. This decrease is partially offset by a $246.8 million increase in average loans outstanding to $2.85 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a 9% increase from the same period a year ago. Interest income on securities increased $2.0 million to $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was due to a $267.8 million increase in average securities outstanding to $1.19 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a 29% increase from the same period a year ago. This increase is partially offset by a 61 basis point decrease in the average yield on securities to 5.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 5.69% for the same period last year. Interest income on securities increased $4.6 million to $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was due to a $256.1 million increase in average securities outstanding to $1.12 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a 30% increase from the same period a year ago. This increase is partially offset by an 86 basis point decrease in the average yield on securities to 5.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 6.15% for the same period last year. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $15.5 million, a decrease of $8.3 million, or 35%, from the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.96% for the period, a decrease of 138 basis points when compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease is partially offset by a $310.3 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $3.14 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of 11% from the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $45.7 million, a decrease of $37.0 million, or 45%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.99% for the period, a decrease of 202 basis points when compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease is partially offset by a $307.7 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $3.06 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of 12% from the same period last year. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $45.7 million compared to $40.8 million in 2001, an increase of $5.0 million, or 12%. Growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, was $514.6 million, or 14%, while yields decreased 118 basis points to 5.83%. Yields decreased throughout 2001 as the Bank's prime lending rate decreased. The impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by a $310.3 million, or 11%, increase in average interest-bearing 12 liabilities, offset by a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 138 basis points to 1.96% in 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net interest income was $133.1 million compared to $118.0 million in 2001, an increase of $15.1 million, or 13%. Growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, was $483.6 million, or 14%, while yields decreased 165 basis points to 5.95%. The impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by a $307.7 million, or 11%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 202 basis points to 1.99% in 2002. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the net interest margin, defined as annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, decreased to 4.36% compared to 4.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 118 basis points, from 7.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 5.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds of 138 basis points from 3.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 1.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the net interest margin declined to 4.43% compared to 4.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets of 165 basis points from 7.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 5.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds of 202 basis points, from 4.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 1.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. 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. The yield on the 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 consolidated shareholders' equity. <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------------------------- -------------------------------- 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.......................... $2,928,311 $45,774 6.20% $2,676,845 $50,938 7.55% Securities..................... 1,192,252 15,266 5.08 924,501 13,256 5.69 Federal funds sold and other... 46,249 191 1.64 50,826 366 2.86 ---------- ------- ---- ---------- ------- ---- Total interest-earning assets............... 4,166,812 61,231 5.83% 3,652,172 64,560 7.01% ------- ---- ------- ---- Less allowance for loan losses...

The loan loss provision for each period is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral on problem loans and the general economic conditions in the Company's market area. Periodic fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Although no assurance can be given, management believes that the present allowance for loan losses is adequate; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the methodology used to determine the provision for loan losses was unchanged from the prior period. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio remained relatively unchanged from December 31, 2001 and there was no material change in the lending programs or terms during the quarter. The provision for loan losses was $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The provision for loan losses was $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the provision for loan losses corresponds to the increase in average loans outstanding and net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 when compared to the same period last year. Net charge-offs were $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Of the $1.4 million in net charge-offs for the current period, $1.0 million is related to one commercial credit. Net 16 charge-offs to average loans was 0.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 0.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net charge-offs were $5.5 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. Net charge-offs to average loans was 0.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 0.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. In addition to the increase in net charge-offs, changes in general economic factors were considered when determining the amount of the provision for loan losses. Some of the factors include the slowing of the national and international economies, the turbulent performance of the stock market, and the increase in the local unemployment rate in the current year. While the Company recognizes that the economic slowdown may adversely impact its borrowers' financial performance and ultimately their ability to repay their loans, management continues to be cautiously optimistic about the key credit indicators from the Company's loan portfolio. While the Company has experienced an increase in net charge-offs in the current year as a result of the factors noted above, its net charge-offs to average loans has been below the average of banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (See "-- Financial Condition -- Loan Review and Allowance for Loan Losses.") NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $16.5 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 11%, from $14.9 million during the comparable period in 2001. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $50.4 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 19%, from $42.4 million during the comparable period in 2001. The following table shows the breakout of noninterest income between the bank and the mortgage company for the periods indicated. <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- BANK MORTGAGE COMBINED BANK MORTGAGE COMBINED ------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- Service charges on deposit accounts.... $ 9,198 $ -- $ 9,198 $ 7,784 $ -- $ 7,784 Investment services............ 2,371 -- 2,371 2,046 -- 2,046 Factoring fee income.............. 1,133 -- 1,133 1,082 -- 1,082 Loan fee income...... 507 682 1,189 330 688 1,018 Bank-owned life insurance income.... 1,233 -- 1,233 1,198 -- 1,198 Letters of credit fee income.............. 386 -- 386 330 -- 330 Mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization and impairment.......... 12 (2,961) (2,949) -- 242 242 Gain on sale of loans, net.......... 5 1,467 1,472 -- 432 432 Gain on sale of securities, net..... 1,680 -- 1,680 8 -- 8 Other income......... 632 175 807 663 135 798 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------ ------- Total noninterest income............ $17,157 $ (637) $16,520 $13,441 $1,497 $14,938 ======= ======= ======= ======= ====== ======= <Caption> NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- BANK MORTGAGE COMBINED BANK MORTGAGE COMBINED ------- -------- -------- ------- -------- -------- Service charges on deposit accounts.... $27,357 $ -- $27,357 $19,564 $ -- $19,564 Investment services............ 7,183 -- 7,183 5,441 -- 5,441 Factoring fee income.............. 3,440 -- 3,440 3,428 -- 3,428 Loan fee income...... 1,154 2,084 3,238 840 1,937 2,777 Bank-owned life insurance income.... 3,628 -- 3,628 3,288 -- 3,288 Letters of credit fee income.............. 1,089 -- 1,089 958 -- 958 Mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization and impairment.......... 84 (2,839) (2,755) -- 768 768 Gain on sale of loans, net.......... 472 2,586 3,058 -- 2,228 2,228 Gain on sale of securities, net..... 1,682 -- 1,682 33 -- 33 Other income......... 1,966 504 2,470 3,531 416 3,947 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------ ------- Total noninterest income............ $48,055 $ 2,335 $50,390 $37,083 $5,349 $42,432 ======= ======= ======= ======= ====== ======= </Table> Banking Segment. The largest component of noninterest income is service charges on deposit accounts, which were $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $1.4 million, or 18%, 17 from $7.8 million for the same period last year. Service charges on deposit accounts were $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $7.8 million, or 40%, from $19.6 million for the same period last year. Several factors contributed to this growth. First, the Bank's treasury management group continues to grow, with service charges from commercial analysis up $927,000, or 26%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 when compared to the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, such charges were $13.9 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 39%, from $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This success at winning new business results from the Company's ability to design custom cost-effective cash management solutions for middle market and large corporate customers. Second, net NSF charges on deposit accounts were $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $209,000, or 6%, from $3.7 million for the same period last year. Net NSF charges on deposit accounts were $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $2.9 million, or 36%, from $8.2 million for the same period last year. This increase in NSF charges is primarily due to net fee income on a new deposit product. Additionally, the total number of deposit accounts grew from 150,972 at September 30, 2001 to 159,509 at September 30, 2002. Investment services income was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year, an increase of $325,000, or 16%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, investment services income was $7.2 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 32%, from $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in investment services income is attributable to increased investment sales to commercial and retail customers and to the expanding foreign exchange department, as well as the addition of several experienced calling officers and an increase in referrals from the Company's growing customer base. Gain on sale of loans was $472,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This gain primarily represents the premium for the sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio. There were no such transactions in the prior year. Gain on sale of securities, net, was $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. This gain was recorded on the sale of warrants and other investment securities with a book value of $34.2 million. There were no such transactions in the prior year. Other income was $632,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of $31,000, or 5%, from the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, other income was $2.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 44%, from $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease is partially due to a gain recorded on the sale of Bank assets in the prior year and to a decrease in income from equity investees. Mortgage Segment. Gain on sale of loans was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $1.0 million, or 240%, from the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, gain on sale of loans was $2.6 million, an increase of $358,000, or 16%, from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the gain on sale of loans is due to two factors. First, the principal balance of mortgage loans sold increased to $37.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $26.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2001. The principal balance of mortgage loans sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $126.7 million compared to $97.6 million for the comparable period last year. In addition, the mortgage company recorded a gain of $641,000 ($395,000 net of amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights) on the sale of $130.0 million of mortgage servicing rights on multi-family loans in the third quarter of 2002. No such transaction was recorded in the prior year. Mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization and impairment, were ($3.0) million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $242,000 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization and impairment, were ($2.8) million as compared to $768,000 for the same period last year. This decrease is primarily due to a provision for capitalized mortgage servicing rights in excess of fair value in the amount of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in the fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is a result of the decline in the 10-year Treasury rate in the third quarter resulting in historically low mortgage rates and an increase in 18 prepayments of mortgages serviced by the Company. In addition, $246,000 of capitalized mortgage servicing rights was expensed with the sale of the related servicing assets discussed above. NONINTEREST EXPENSES For the three months ended September 30, 2002, noninterest expenses totaled $38.1 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 14%, from $33.6 million during 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, noninterest expenses totaled $111.6 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 14%, from the same period in 2001. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expenses by net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding net security gains (losses). An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same volume of income while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. The efficiency ratio was 62.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared with 60.28% for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the efficiency ratio was 61.39% compared with 61.05% for the same period last year. The increase in the efficiency ratio in 2002 is primarily a result of the write-down of mortgage servicing rights discussed in "-- Results of Operations -- Noninterest Income" above. Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $22.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 15%, from the three months ended September 30, 2001. Salaries and employee benefits was $64.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $7.0 million, or 12%, from $57.7 million for the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to hiring of additional personnel required to accommodate the Company's growth. Total end of period employees were 1,506 and 1,388 at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $9.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 17%, from the three months ended September 30, 2001. Other operating expenses were $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $5.3 million, or 22%, from $24.5 million for the same period last year. Major categories within other operating expenses are professional expenses, computer software amortization expense, and losses on accounts. Professional expenses increased to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.7 million for the comparable period last year, an increase of $606,000, or 35%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, professional expenses were $6.4 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 30%, from $4.9 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to an increase in consulting fees. Computer software amortization expense increased to $910,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $706,000 for the comparable period last year, an increase of $204,000, or 29%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, computer software amortization expense was $2.6 million, an increase of $736,000, or 39%, from $1.9 million for the same period last year. This increase is due to amortization of new software related to technology upgrades throughout the Company. Losses on deposit accounts increased to $972,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $376,000 for the comparable period last year, an increase of $596,000, or 159%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, losses on deposit accounts were $2.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 70%, from $1.7 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to charge-offs of deposit accounts related to a new deposit product. In addition, the Company charged off $350,000 and $150,000 in the third and second quarter of 2002, respectively, related to check kiting. 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 September 30, 2002, the provision for income taxes was $6.6 million, an increase of $95,000, or 1%, from the $6.5 million provided for the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, income tax expense was $19.8 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 8%, from the 19 $18.3 million provided for the same period in 2001. The Company's effective tax rate was 31% and 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's effective tax rate was 31% and 32%, respectively. FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT Loans held for investment were $2.93 billion at September 30, 2002, an increase of $256.1 million, or 10%, from $2.67 billion at December 31, 2001. The following table summarizes the loan portfolio of the Company by type of loan as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 ----------------------- ---------------------- AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ------------- ------- ------------ ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial and industrial.................. $1,143,508 39.04% $1,084,114 40.56% Real estate: Construction and land development........ 688,202 23.50 698,423 26.13 1-4 family residential................... 438,878 14.99 344,133 12.88 Commercial owner occupied................ 453,661 15.49 320,336 11.99 Farmland................................. 5,676 0.19 4,854 0.18 Other.................................... 21,281 0.73 25,884 0.97 Consumer................................... 177,341 6.06 194,714 7.29 ---------- ------ ---------- ------ Total loans held for investment....... $2,928,547 100.00% $2,672,458 100.00% ========== ====== ========== ====== </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 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 and personal guarantees of company owners or project sponsors. 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, other assets and personal guarantees of company owners or project sponsors. 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 are typically originated in amounts of no more than 90% of appraised value. The Company typically 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 20 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 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 funded 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 September 30, 2002 are summarized in the following table: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 -------------------------------------------------- AFTER ONE ONE YEAR OR THROUGH AFTER FIVE LESS FIVE YEARS YEARS TOTAL ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Commercial and industrial............... $ 712,047 $359,813 $71,648 $1,143,508 Real estate construction and land development........................... 432,946 232,059 23,197 688,202 ---------- -------- ------- ---------- Total................................... $1,144,993 $591,872 $94,845 $1,831,710 ========== ======== ======= ========== Loans with a fixed interest rate........ $ 463,087 $148,447 $38,515 $ 650,049 Loans with a floating interest rate..... 681,906 443,425 56,330 1,181,661 ---------- -------- ------- ---------- Total................................... $1,144,993 $591,872 $94,845 $1,831,710 ========== ======== ======= ========== </Table> LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans held for sale of $81.9 million at September 30, 2002 decreased from $87.0 million at December 31, 2001. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and are typically sold to investors within one year of origination. The market value of these loans is impacted by changes in current interest rates. An increase in interest rates would result in a decrease in the market value of these loans while a decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in the market value of these loans. The business of originating and selling loans is conducted by the Company's mortgage segment. 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, a loan review department staffed, in part, with Office of the Comptroller of the Currency experienced personnel, low individual lending limits for officers, Senior Loan Committee approval for large credit relationships and a quality control process for loan documentation. The Company also maintains a monitoring process for credit extensions in excess of $100,000. The Company performs quarterly concentration analyses based on various factors such as industries, collateral types, business lines, large credit sizes, international credit exposure 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. The Company continues to invest in its loan portfolio monitoring system to enhance its risk management capabilities. The Company's loan portfolio is well diversified by industry type but is generally concentrated in the eight county region defined as its primary market area. Historically, the Houston metropolitan area has been affected both positively and negatively by conditions in the energy industry. It is estimated that approximately 21 32% of economic activity currently is related to the upstream energy industry, down from 69% in 1981. Since the mid 1980's, the economic impact of changes in the energy industry has been lessened due to the diversification of the Houston economy driven by growth in such economic entities as the Texas Medical Center, the Port of Houston, the Johnson Space Center, among others, and government infrastructure spending to support the population and job growth in the Houston area. As a result, the economy of the Company's primary market area has become increasingly affected by changes in the national and international economies. The Company monitors changes in the level of energy prices, real estate values, borrower collateral, and the level of local, regional, national, and international economic activity. Recently, several major employers in the Houston market have either experienced financial difficulties or reductions in employment due to changes in the energy trading markets, corporate consolidations, or political events affecting the global economy. While these factors are significant, the Company's primary market area has managed to show a 12 month gain of approximately 800 jobs, or less than 0.04 percent of the total employment base of 2.1 million, as of September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, other than $3.3 million in charge-offs related to four commercial credits, these events have had no material effect on the Company's loan portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, the Company's loan portfolio will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against current earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible; recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses to a committee of the Board of Directors, indicating any changes in the allowance since the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluations, management considers both quantitative and qualitative risk factors in establishing an allowance for loan losses that it considers to be appropriate at each reporting period. Quantitative factors include historical charge-off experience, delinquency and past due trends, changes in collateral values, changes in energy prices, changes in the level of borrower covenant violations, the level of nonperforming loans, changes in the risk classification of credits, growth and concentrations of credit in the loan portfolio, the results of regulatory and internal loan review examinations, and changes in the loan portfolio's composition by both industry and by borrower. Qualitative factors include an evaluation of the economic factors affecting the Company's primary market area, changes in the type and complexity of credit extensions, the experience levels of its lending and loan review staff, new lending products, the age of the loan portfolio, and other factors. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management performs periodic reviews of the loan portfolio, either individually or in pools. Generally, commercial and real estate loans are reviewed individually and consumer and single family residential loans are evaluated in pools. A general allowance for loan losses is established based upon (i) the historical loss experience by loan type; (ii) management's internal grading of the loans resulting in an allowance based upon the historical loss experience by grade applied to the outstanding principal balance of the adversely graded loans; and (iii) certain subjective factors such as economic trends, performance trends, portfolio age and concentrations of credit. In addition, specific allowances may be established for loans which management believes require greater reserves than those allocated based on the above methodology. Future changes in economic conditions, circumstances, or other factors could cause management to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as necessary. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002 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 September 30, 2002. 22 The following table presents, for the periods indicated, an analysis of the allowance for loan losses and other related data: <Table> <Caption> NINE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Allowance for loan losses, beginning balance................ $31,390 $28,150 Provision charged against operations........................ 8,750 7,500 Charge-offs: Commercial and industrial.................................

The Company has allocated portions of its general allowance for loan losses to cover the estimated losses inherent in particular risk categories of loans. This 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> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 --------------------- --------------------- 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.................. $13,470 39.04% $13,554 40.56% Real estate: Construction and land development........ 6,278 23.50 7,395 26.13 1-4 family residential................... 3,989 14.99 2,695 12.88 Commercial owner occupied................ 6,032 15.49 3,397 11.99 Farmland................................. 42 0.19 34 0.18 Other.................................... 1,583 0.73 1,110 0.97 Consumer................................... 3,203 6.06 3,205 7.29 ------- ------ ------- ------ Total allowance for loan losses............ $34,597 100.00% $31,390 100.00% ======= ====== ======= ====== </Table> NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 or more days past due, restructured loans, and other real estate and foreclosed property, were $18.1 million at September 30, 2002 compared with $14.2 million at December 31, 2001. This resulted in a ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate of 0.62% and 0.53% at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Nonaccrual loans, the largest component of nonperforming assets, were $14.6 million at September 30, 2002, an increase of $3.6 million from $11.0 million at December 31, 2001. The following table presents information regarding nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Nonaccrual loans............................................ $14,596 $11,020 Accruing loans 90 or more days past due..................... 2,687 2,179 Other real estate and foreclosed property................... 829 1,037 ------- ------- Total nonperforming assets................................ $18,112 $14,236 ======= ======= Nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate... 0.62% 0.53% </Table> Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Loans are designated as nonaccrual when reasonable doubt exists as to the full collection of interest and principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of interest and principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Gross interest income on nonaccrual loans that would have been recorded had these loans been performing as agreed was $842,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. 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 24 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, based on current information and events, if management believes that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including interest past due. An insignificant delay (up to 90 days) or insignificant shortfall in the amount of payment does not constitute an impairment. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized through the provision for loan losses. All nonaccrual loans and accruing loans 90 or more days past due are considered impaired at September 30, 2002. The following is a summary of loans considered to be impaired: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Impaired loans with no valuation reserve.................... $ -- $ 510 Impaired loans with a valuation reserve..................... 19,721 19,728 ------- ------- Total recorded investment in impaired loans............... $19,721 $20,238 ======= ======= Valuation allowance related to impaired loans............... $ 2,386 $ 3,749 ======= ======= </Table> The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001 was $18.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $262,000 and $425,000 was recognized for cash payments received during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively. The decrease in the valuation allowance related to impaired loans is the result of a change in the composition of these loans and the recognition of loan losses that were included in the reserve at December 31, 2001. 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 September 30, 2002. 25 The amortized cost and approximate fair value of securities classified as available for sale is as follows: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- AMORTIZED GROSS UNREALIZED FAIR AMORTIZED GROSS UNREALIZED FAIR COST GAIN LOSS VALUE COST GAIN LOSS VALUE ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) AVAILABLE FOR SALE U.S. Government securities... $ 99,856 $ 1,898 $ -- $ 101,754 $ 50,860 $ 1,294 $ (17) $ 52,137 Mortgage-backed securities... 979,576 22,108 (233) 1,001,451 872,974 8,571 (2,825) 878,720 Municipal securities......... 92,389 5,485 (2) 97,872 85,047 252 (1,524) 83,775 Federal Reserve Bank stock... 4,472 -- -- 4,472 4,230 -- -- 4,230 Federal Home Loan Bank stock...................... 20,036 -- -- 20,036 7,939 -- -- 7,939 Other securities............. 29,151 113 -- 29,264 41,169 356 (11) 41,514 ---------- ------- ----- ---------- ---------- ------- ------- ---------- TOTAL SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE................. $1,225,480 $29,604 $(235) $1,254,849 $1,062,219 $10,473 $(4,377) $1,068,315 ========== ======= ===== ========== ========== ======= ======= ========== </Table> Securities totaled $1.25 billion at September 30, 2002, an increase of $186.5 million from $1.07 billion at December 31, 2001. The yield on the securities portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 5.29% while the yield was 6.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Company has no mortgage-backed securities that have been issued by non-agency entities. Included in the Company's mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2002 were agency issued collateral mortgage obligations with a book value of $487.7 million and a fair value of $494.3 million. At September 30, 2002, $724.0 million of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company had final maturities of more than 10 years. At September 30, 2002, approximately $21.9 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. The following table summarizes the contractual maturity of investments and their weighted average yields at September 30, 2002. The yield on the 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> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFTER ONE YEAR AFTER FIVE YEARS WITHIN BUT WITHIN BUT 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............... $ 4,104 5.83% $ 81,947 5.15% $ 13,805 5.25% $ -- --% $ 99,856 5.19% Mortgage-backed securities............... 3,142 6.09 20,099 6.05 232,290 5.16 724,045 4.99 979,576 5.06 Municipal securities....... 2,215 4.34 8,849 4.55 8,723 4.53 72,602 4.88 92,389 4.80 Federal Reserve Bank stock.................... 4,472 6.00 -- -- -- -- -- -- 4,472 6.00 Federal Home Loan Bank stock.................... 20,036 3.00 -- -- -- -- -- -- 20,036 3.00 Other securities........... 25,776 1.73 787 5.98 1,356 3.53 1,232 4.36 29,151 2.04 Federal funds sold......... 126,570 1.57 -- -- -- -- -- -- 126,570 1.57 Securities purchased under resale agreements........ 20,000 1.60 -- -- -- -- -- -- 20,000 1.60 Interest-bearing deposits................. 3,554 1.64 -- -- -- -- -- -- 3,554 1.64 -------- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- ---------- ---- Total investments........ $209,869 2.00% $111,682 5.27% $256,174 5.13% $797,879 4.98% $1,375,604 4.58% ======== ==== ======== ==== ======== ==== ======== ==== ========== ==== </Table> 26 OTHER ASSETS Other assets were $150.8 million at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $27.9 million from $178.7 million at December 31, 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in factored receivables. Factored receivables result from providing operating funds to businesses by converting their accounts receivable to cash. Factored receivables were $33.3 million at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $21.9 million from $55.2 million at December 31, 2001. This decrease is due to the seasonal nature of some of the factoring company's customers. 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, interest-bearing demand, 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 September 30, 2002, the Company had less than one percent of its deposits classified as brokered funds. 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 demand deposits to average total deposits for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, was 29% and 28%, respectively. The average daily balances and weighted average rates paid on deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, are presented below: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------- ----------------- AMOUNT RATE AMOUNT RATE ----------- ----- ---------- ---- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Interest-bearing demand......................... $ 33,006 0.25% $ 62,510 0.50% Regular savings................................. 93,384 1.00 81,799 1.58 Premium yield................................... 822,928 1.71 851,951 3.41 Money market savings............................ 564,917 1.04 461,433 2.21 CD's less than $100,000......................... 293,275 3.75 302,885 5.25 CD's $100,000 and over.......................... 566,571 2.73 522,601 4.82 IRA's, QRP's and other.......................... 77,498 3.84 76,336 5.07 ---------- ---- ---------- ---- Total interest-bearing deposits............... 2,451,579 3.10% 2,359,515 3.64% ==== ==== Noninterest-bearing deposits.................... 958,507 836,366 ---------- ---------- Total deposits................................ $3,410,086 $3,195,881 ========== ========== </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> SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 3 months or less............................................ $297,828 $348,782 Between 3 months and 6 months............................... 58,462 81,457 Between 6 months and 1 year................................. 71,859 75,461 Over 1 year................................................. 102,162 48,420 -------- -------- Total time deposits $100,000 and over..................... $530,311 $554,120 ======== ======== </Table> 27 BORROWINGS Securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings generally represent borrowings with maturities ranging from one to thirty days. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, treasury, tax and loan deposits and other bank borrowings. Long-term borrowings generally consist of borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank maturing within one year. Information relating to these borrowings is summarized as follows: <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Securities sold under repurchase agreements: Average................................................... $276,054 $270,656 Period-end................................................ 235,525 358,401 Maximum month-end balance during period................... 323,815 358,401 Interest rate: Average................................................... 1.51% 3.17% Period-end................................................ 1.55% 2.03% Long-term borrowings: Average................................................... $ 20,278 $ 7,565 Period-end................................................ 107,142 7,410 Maximum month-end balance during period................... 107,172 7,717 Interest rate: Average................................................... 3.77% 7.00% Period-end................................................ 2.28% 6.96% Short-term borrowings: Average................................................... $313,404 $157,630 Period-end................................................ 461,627 222,168 Maximum month-end balance during period................... 501,736 368,792 Interest rate: Average................................................... 1.83% 3.93% Period-end................................................ 1.98% 2.12% </Table> LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity management involves maintaining sufficient cash levels to fund operations and to meet the requirements of borrowers, depositors, and creditors. Higher levels of liquidity bear higher corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets, and higher interest expense involved in extending liability maturities. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, loans and securities maturing within one year, and money market instruments. In addition, the Company holds securities maturing after one year, which can be sold to meet liquidity needs. The Company relies primarily on customer deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements and shareholders' equity to fund interest-earning assets. The Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") is also a major source of liquidity for the Bank. The FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible collateral to satisfy liquidity requirements. Maintaining a relatively stable funding base, which is achieved by diversifying funding sources, competitively pricing deposit products, and extending the contractual maturity of liabilities, reduces the Company's exposure to roll over risk on deposits and limits reliance on volatile short-term purchased funds. Short-term funding needs arise from declines in deposits or other funding sources, funding of loan commitments and requests for new loans. The Company's strategy is to fund assets to the maximum extent possible with core deposits that provide a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. Average core 28 deposits funded approximately 71% of total interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 74% for the same period in 2001. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs in the present economic environment. In addition, the Bank has access to the FHLB for borrowing purposes. The Company has not received any recommendations from regulatory authorities that would materially affect liquidity, capital resources or operations. The Company's risk-based capital ratios including Leverage Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and the Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were 8.97%, 10.96% and 11.92%, respectively, at September 30, 2002. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of the Company's financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company. The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements. In estimating the allowance for loan losses, management utilizes historical experience as well as other factors including the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values, the effect on the loan portfolio of current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers and increase or decreases in nonperforming and impaired loans. Changes in these factors may cause management's estimate of the allowance to increase or decrease and result in adjustments to the Company's provision for loan losses. OTHER MATTERS On September 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-interests (pooling) method of accounting for business combinations initiated after September 30, 2001 and require the use of purchase accounting. Goodwill generated from purchase business combinations consummated prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 142 was amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside a business combination and the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to acquisition. Under the new standard, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment. The standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002 and the impact of adoption was immaterial. On October 24, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. SFAS No. 147 amends previously issued guidance regarding the accounting and reporting for the acquisition of all or part of a financial institution. The statement also provides guidance on the accounting for the impairment or disposal of core deposits and is effective for acquisitions after October 1, 2002. 29 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There have been no material changes since December 31, 2001. See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Financial Condition -- Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity." ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2002 and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors known to the Company that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to their evaluation, nor any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. While the Company believes that its existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish these objectives, the Company intends to continue to examine, refine and formalize its disclosure controls and procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in this area. - ------------------------- With respect to the unaudited financial information of Southwest Bancorporation of Texas, Inc. for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated October 29, 2002 appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. 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 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. 30 PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
