INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND
SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The
accounting and reporting policies of International Bancshares Corporation (Corporation)
and Subsidiaries (the Corporation and Subsidiaries collectively referred to
herein as the Company) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America and to general practices within the banking
industry. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, International Bank of Commerce, Laredo (IBC), Commerce Bank,
International Bank of Commerce, Zapata, International Bank of Commerce,
Brownsville and the Corporations wholly-owned non-bank subsidiaries, IBC
Subsidiary Corporation, IBC Life Insurance Company, IBC Trading Company, and
IBC Capital Corporation. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are
unaudited, but include all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods
presented. All such adjustments were of
a normal and recurring nature. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto in the Companys latest Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The
consolidated statement of condition at December 31, 2007 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. Certain reclassifications
have been made to make prior periods comparable.
The Company operates as one segment. The operating information used by the Companys
chief executive officer for purposes of assessing performance and making
operating decisions about the Company is the consolidated statements presented
in this report. The Company has four
active operating subsidiaries, namely, the bank subsidiaries, otherwise known
as International Bank of Commerce, Laredo, Commerce Bank, International Bank of
Commerce, Zapata and International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville. The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, in
determining its reportable segments and related disclosures. None of the Companys other subsidiaries
meets the 10% threshold for disclosure under SFAS No. 131.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value
Measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-2, (FSP No. 157-2),
Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company will delay
application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities until January 1, 2009, except
for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring
basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies
to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair
value basis. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. SFAS No. 157
also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in
valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
·
Level
1 Inputs Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
·
Level
2 Inputs Observable inputs other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities.
·
Level
3 Inputs Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. Level 3 assets and
liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or other valuation
techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at
fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant
to the valuation hierarchy is set forth below.

The
following table represents assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated
balance sheets at their fair value as of March 31, 2008 by level within
the SFAS No. 157 fair value measurement hierarchy:

Investment
securities available-for-sale are classified within level 2 of the valuation
hierarchy, with the exception of certain equity investments that are classified
within level 1. The Company obtains fair
value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing
service. The fair value measurements
consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash
flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution
data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bonds
terms and conditions, among other things.
Impaired
loans are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of impaired loans is derived
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
(SFAS No. 114), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is based on
the fair value of the collateral, as determined through an external appraisal
process. Impaired loans are primarily
comprised of collateral-dependent commercial loans.
Certain
financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. The instruments are
not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value
adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment).
Note 2 Acquisition
On March 16, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition
of Southwest First Community, Inc. (Southwest Community), a bank holding
company with approximately $133 million in assets that owned State Bank &
Trust in Beeville, Texas and Commercial State Bank in Sinton, Texas. The transaction was pursuant to the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated December 1, 2006 (the Merger Agreement). The Company paid consideration totaling $23.5
million in cash.

Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable that all amounts
due according to contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be
collected. The Company has identified
these loans through its normal loan review procedures. Impaired loans are
measured based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans effective interest rate; (2) the loans
observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent.
Substantially all of the Companys impaired loans are measured at the
fair value of the collateral. In limited cases, the Company may use other
methods to determine the level of impairment of a loan if such loan is not
collateral dependent.
The following table details key information regarding
the Companys impaired loans:

The impaired loans included in the table above were primarily
comprised of collateral dependent commercial loans, which have not been fully
charged off. The average recorded
investment in impaired loans was $44,257,000 and $22,590,000 for the three
months and year ended March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The interest recognized on impaired loans was
not significant.
Management of the Company recognizes the risks
associated with these impaired loans.
However, managements decision to place loans in this category does not
necessarily mean that losses will occur.
The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion
of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well as that
portion of any other loan which is classified as a loss by bank
examiners. Commercial and industrial or
real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss,
in whole or part, when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent
and when no further collection of the loss portion is anticipated based on the
borrowers financial condition and general economic conditions in the borrowers
industry. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when 90 days past
due.
11
While management of the Company considers that
it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably
early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no
precise method of predicting loan losses.
The determination that a loan is likely to be uncollectible and that it
should be wholly or partially charged-off as a loss is an exercise of
judgment. Similarly, the determination
of the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses can be made only on a
subjective basis. It is the judgment of the Companys management that the
allowance for possible loan losses at March 31, 2008 was adequate to
absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date.
Note 5 Stock Options
On
April 1, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 International
Bancshares Corporation Stock Option Plan (the 2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan replaced the 1996 International
Bancshares Corporation Key Contributor Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan). Under the 2005 Plan, both qualified incentive
stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NQSOs) may be
granted. Options granted may be
exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant, excluding
ISOs granted to 10% shareholders, which may be exercisable for a period of up
to only five years. As of March 31,
2008, 51,622 shares were available for future grants under the 2005 Plan.

approximately $1,580,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost
related to non-vested options granted under the Company plans that will be
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
Note 6 - Investment Securities
The
Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of three
categories: held-to maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading. Such
securities are reassessed for appropriate classification at each reporting
date. Securities classified as held-to-maturity
are carried at amortized cost for financial statement reporting, while
securities classified as available-for-sale and trading are carried at
their fair value. Unrealized holding
gains and losses are included in net income for those securities classified as trading,
while unrealized holding gains and losses related to those securities
classified as available-for-sale are excluded from net income and reported
net of tax as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) until realized, or in the case of losses, when
deemed other than temporary.
12
In
the first quarter 2007, the Company wrote down approximately $732.0 million of
investment securities to fair value, which resulted in an impairment charge of
approximately $17.0 million. The write
down was a result of the Companys strategic identification of certain
investment securities that were sold in the second quarter of 2007 with the
proceeds used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. The investments sold were certain hybrid
mortgage backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months
and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis
points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness short term-rate. The sale of the securities facilitated a
repositioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of
interest rate risk and improved the Companys operating ratios.

Mae), and $1,692,454 of mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government
National Mortgage Corporation (Ginnie Mae).
Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully
guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac and
Fannie Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, but are rated AAA.
Note 7
Other Borrowed Funds
Other
borrowed funds include Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which are short-term,
variable-rate borrowings issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas at the
market price offered at the time of funding.
These borrowings are secured by mortgage-backed investment securities
and a portion of the Companys loan portfolio.
At March 31, 2008, other borrowed funds totaled $1,049,779,000, a
decrease of 27.9% from $1,456,936,000 at December 31, 2007.
Note 8
Junior Subordinated Interest Deferrable Debentures
The
Company has formed twelve statutory business trusts under the laws of the State
of Delaware, for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. As part of the Local Financial Corporation (LFIN)
acquisition, the Company acquired three additional statutory business trusts
previously formed by LFIN for the purpose of issuing trust preferred
securities. The twelve statutory
business trusts formed by the Company and the three business trusts acquired in
the LFIN transaction (the Trusts) have each issued Capital and Common
Securities and invested the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of junior
subordinated debentures (the Debentures) issued by the Company or LFIN, as
appropriate. As of March 31, 2008,
the Debentures issued by four of the trusts formed by the Company and the
Debentures issued by all three of the trusts formed by LFIN have been redeemed
by the Company. As of March 31,
2008, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $200,969,000.
13
The
Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all present and
future senior indebtedness (as defined in the respective indentures) of the
Company, and are
pari passu
with one another. The interest rate payable on, and the payment
terms of the Debentures are the same as the distribution rate and payment terms
of the respective issues of Capital and Common Securities issued by the
Trusts. The Company has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of each of the Trusts with respect
to the Capital and Common Securities.
The Company has the right, unless an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest on the
Debentures for up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods on Trust I and for up
to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and
XII. If interest payments on any of the
Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common
Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of
the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or
other regulatory bodies.
For
financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are treated as investments of the
Company and not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Capital Securities issued by
each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders equity on
the consolidated statement of condition, the Capital Securities are treated as
capital for regulatory purposes.
Specifically, under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital
Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital up to a maximum of
25% of Tier 1 capital on an aggregate basis.
Any amount that exceeds the 25% threshold would qualify as Tier 2
capital. For March 31, 2008, the
total $200,969,000, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1
capital.
In
March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that would
continue to allow the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1
capital, but with stricter quantitative limits.
Under the final rule, after a transition period ending March 31,
2009, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other
capital elements would be limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of
goodwill, less any associated deferred tax liability. The amount of trust preferred securities and
certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2
capital, subject to restrictions. Bank
holding companies with significant international operations will be expected to
limit trust preferred securities to 15% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of
goodwill; however, they may include qualifying mandatory convertible preferred
securities up to the 25% limit. The
Company believes that substantially all of the current trust preferred
securities will be included in Tier 1 capital after the five-year transition
period ending March 31, 2009.

following table illustrates key information about each of the debentures and
their interest rate at March 31, 2008:

Note 9 Common Stock and Dividends
All
per share data presented has been restated to reflect the stock split effected
through a stock dividend, which became effective May 21, 2007 and was paid
on June 8, 2007. Cash dividends of
$.33 were paid on April 18, 2008 to all holders of record on March 31,
2008.
The
Company expanded its formal stock repurchase program on May 3, 2007. Under the expanded stock repurchase program,
the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $225,000,000 of its common stock
through December 2008. Stock repurchases
may be made from time to time, on the open market or through private
transactions. Shares repurchased in this
program will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate purposes,
including employee stock option plans.
As of May 5, 2008, a total of 6,195,133 shares had been repurchased
under this program at a cost of $212,872,000.
Stock repurchases are reviewed quarterly at the Companys Board of
Directors meetings and the Board of Directors has stated that the aggregate
investment in treasury stock should not exceed $245,973,000. In the past, the Board of Directors has
increased previous caps on treasury stock once they were met, but there are no
assurances that an increase of the $245,973,000 cap will occur in the
future. As of May 5, 2008, the
Company has approximately $233,845,000 invested in treasury shares, which
amount has been accumulated since the inception of the Company.
Note 10 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities and Other
Tax Matters
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings
that are in various stages of litigation.
Some of these actions allege lender liability claims on a variety of
theories and claim actual and punitive damages.
The Company has determined, based on discussions with its counsel that
any loss in such actions, individually or in the aggregate, is remote or the
damages sought, even if fully recovered, would not be considered material to
the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, many of these matters are in various
stages of proceedings and further developments could cause management to revise
its assessment of these matters.
The
Companys lead bank subsidiary has invested in partnerships, which have entered
into several lease-financing transactions.
The lease-financing transactions in two of the partnerships have been
examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In both partnerships, the lead bank
subsidiary was the owner of a ninety-nine percent (99%) limited partnership
interest. The IRS has issued separate
Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments (FPAA) to the
partnerships and on September 25, 2001, and January 10, 2003, the
Company filed lawsuits contesting the adjustments asserted in the FPAAs.
Prior
to filing the lawsuits, the Company was required to deposit the estimated tax
due of approximately $4,083,000 with respect to the first FPAA and $7,710,606
with respect to the second FPAA with the IRS pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code. If it is determined that the amount
of tax due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than
the amount of the deposits, the remaining amount of the deposits would be
returned to the Company.
In
order to curtail the accrual of additional interest related to the disputed tax
benefits and because interest rates were unfavorable, on March 7, 2003,
the Company submitted to the IRS a total of approximately $13.7 million, which
constitutes the interest that would have accrued based on the adjustments
proposed in the FPAAs related to both of the lease-financing transactions. If it is determined that the amount of
interest due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than
the approximate $13.7 million, the remaining amount of the prepaid interest
would be refunded to the Company, plus interest thereon.
Beginning
August 29, 2005, IBC proceeded to litigate one of the partnership tax
cases in the Federal District Court in San Antonio, Texas. The case was tried over nine days beginning August 29,
2005. On March 31, 2006, the trial
court rendered a judgment against the Company on the first FPAA. IBC timely filed its notice of appeal to the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The
appeal was argued on August 8, 2007 and the Trial Court decision was
affirmed on August 23, 2007. The
judgment became non-appealable on November 21, 2007. The other partnership case was stayed by the
same Trial Court pending the appeal.
Following the resolution of the first case, the trial court reopened the
second case and set it for trial on September 2, 2008. Subsequently, the Company has engaged in
settlement negotiations with the Department of Justice, and has agreed to
settle the second case. Under the terms
of the settlement, the Company has conceded the entire amount in dispute based
upon the similarity of the facts of that case to the first case and the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome if litigated based upon the Court rulings
in the first case.
15
The
Company, through December 31, 2005, had previously expensed approximately
$12.0 million in connection with the lawsuits.
Because of the above-referenced trial court judgment against the Company
on the first FPAA, the uncertainty of the outcome at the appellate level, and
the similarity between the two FPAAs, the Company additionally expensed an approximate
$13.7 million in the first quarter of 2006.
The resultant approximately $25.7 million expensed is the total of the
tax adjustments due and the interest due on such adjustments for both
FPAAs. Management will continue to
evaluate the correspondence with the IRS on the FPAAs and make any appropriate
revisions to the amounts as deemed necessary.
Note 11 Capital Ratios
The
Company had a leverage ratio of 7.74% and 7.76%, risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratio of
12.01% and 11.98% and risk-weighted total capital ratio of 13.01% and 12.99% at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The identified intangibles and goodwill of
$312,565,000 as of March 31, 2008, recorded in connection with the
acquisitions made by the Company, are deducted from the sum of core capital
elements when determining the capital ratios of the Company. The Company actively monitors the regulatory
capital ratios to ensure that the Companys bank subsidiaries are well
capitalized under the regulatory framework.
In
March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that would
continue to allow the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1
capital, but with stricter quantitative limits. Under the final rule, after a five-year
transition period ending March 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of trust
preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25%
of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill, less any associated deferred tax
liability. The amount of trust preferred
securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included
in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions.
Bank holding companies with significant international operations will be
expected to limit trust preferred securities to 15% of Tier 1 capital elements,
net of goodwill; however, they may include qualifying mandatory convertible
preferred securities up to the 25% limit.
The Company believes that substantially all of the current trust
preferred securities will be included in Tier 1 capital after the five-year
transition period ending March 31, 2009.

Overview
The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas,
with more than 260 facilities and more than 405 ATMs, provides banking services
for commercial, consumer and international customers of South, Central and
Southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma.
The Company is one of the largest independent commercial bank holding
companies headquartered in Texas. The
Company, through its bank subsidiaries, is in the business of gathering funds
from various sources and investing those funds in order to earn a return. The Company either directly or through a bank
subsidiary owns two insurance agencies, a broker/dealer and a majority interest
in an investment banking unit that owns a broker/dealer. The Companys primary earnings come from the
spread between the interest earned on interest-bearing assets and the interest
paid on interest-bearing liabilities. In
addition, the Company generates income from fees on products offered to
commercial, consumer and international customers.
The Company is very active in facilitating trade along
the United States border with Mexico.
The Company does a large amount of business with customers domiciled in
Mexico. Deposits from persons and
entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a large and stable portion of the deposit
base of the Companys bank subsidiaries.
The Company also serves the growing Hispanic population through the
Companys facilities located throughout South, Central and Southeast Texas and
the State of Oklahoma.
Expense control is an essential element in
the Companys long-term profitability.
As a result, one of the key ratios the Company monitors is the
efficiency ratio, which is a measure of non-interest expense to net interest
income plus non-interest income. The
first quarter of 2007 was negatively affected by an impairment charge of $13.1
million, after tax, arising from a charge on certain investment securities. This impairment charge negatively affected
the efficiency ratio but does not necessarily reflect a long-term negative
trend. Additionally, the Companys
efficiency ratio has been negatively impacted over the last few years because
of the Companys aggressive branch expansion which has added 46 branches in
2007 and the first three months of 2008.
During rapid expansion periods, the Companys efficiency ratio will
suffer but the long-term benefits of the expansion should be realized in future
periods and the benefits should positively impact the efficiency ratio in
future periods. The Company monitors
this ratio over time to assess the Companys efficiency relative to its peers
taking into account the Companys branch expansion. The Company uses this measure as one factor
in determining if the Company is accomplishing its long-term goals of providing
superior returns to the Companys shareholders.

Net Income
Net income for the first quarter of 2008 increased by
79.6% as compared to the same period in 2007.
During the first quarter of 2007, n
et income was negatively impacted by an impairment charge of $13.1
million, after tax, on certain investments.
A significant portion of the impairment charge is a result of the
Companys strategic identification in 2007 of certain investment securities
that were sold with the proceeds from the sales to be used to reduce Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. The
investments identified for sale were certain hybrid mortgage backed securities
with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield
to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB
certificate of indebtedness short-term rate.
The sale of the securities facilitated the Companys re-positioning of
the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of interest rate risk and
was done to improve operating ratios. As
a result of this decision, the Company marked the securities to market.

Net interest income is the spread between income
on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest
expense on liabilities used to fund those assets, such as deposits, repurchase
agreements and funds borrowed. Net
interest income is the Companys largest source of revenue. The Federal Reserve Board influences the
general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered
by many financial institutions. The
Companys loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime
interest rate. The prime interest rate, which
is the rate that loan rates are indexed from, ended 2006 at 8.25%. During 2007, the prime interest rate
decreased 50 basis points in the third quarter and 50 basis points in the
fourth quarter to end the year at 7.25%.
During the first quarter of 2008, the prime interest rate decreased by
200 basis points to end the quarter at 5.25%.
The Companys goal is to manage the net interest income in periods of
rising and falling rates. Net interest
income increased 3.8% from the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2008 despite the decreases in the prime interest rate.
As
part of its strategy to manage interest rate risk, the Company strives to
manage both assets and liabilities so that interest sensitivities match. One
method of calculating interest rate sensitivity is through gap analysis. A gap is the difference between the amount of
interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities that
re-price or mature in a given time period.
Positive gaps occur when interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest
rate sensitive liabilities, and negative gaps occur when interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets. A positive gap position in a period of rising
interest rates should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets
will re-price faster than liabilities.
Conversely, net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of
falling interest rates. Management can
quickly change the Companys interest rate position at any given point in time
as market conditions dictate.
Additionally, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of
assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Analytical techniques employed by the Company
to supplement gap analysis include simulation analysis to quantify interest
rate risk exposure. The gap analysis
prepared by management is reviewed by the Investment Committee of the Company
twice a year (see table on page 24 for the March 31, 2008 gap
analysis). Management currently believes
that the Company is properly positioned for interest rate changes; however if
management determines at any time that the Company is not properly positioned,
it will strive to adjust the interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in
order to manage the effect of interest rate changes.

The increase in investment securities transactions for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 can be attributed to a $17.0 million impairment charge
recorded in connection with certain investment securities identified for sale
in the first quarter 2007. The
impairment charge in 2007 was the result of the Companys strategic
identification of certain investment securities that were identified for sale
with the proceeds from the sales used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
borrowings. The investments identified
were certain hybrid mortgage backed securities with a coupon re-set date that
exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was
approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness
short-term rate. The sale of the
securities facilitated a re-positioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral
position in terms of interest rate risk and was done to improve the Companys
operating ratios. As a result of this
decision, the Company marked the securities to market.
The increase in the first quarter 2008 in
banking service charges, commissions and fees can be attributed to surcharge
and interchange income for use of automated teller machines (ATM) and increased
debit card usage by customers.

Non-interest expense was affected by the aggressive de
novo branching activity that has added 8 new branches in 2008 and 38 branches
in 2007, including three acquired in the Southwest First Community acquisition.
Financial
Condition
Allowance
for Possible Loan Losses
The
allowance for possible loan losses increased 0.6% to $62,109,000 at March 31,
2008 from $61,726,000 at December 31, 2007. The provision for possible loan losses
charged to expense increased 14.0% to $1,552,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2008 from $1,361,000 for the same period in 2007. The allowance for possible loan losses was
1.1% of total loans, net of unearned income at March 31, 2008 and at December 31,
2007, respectively. The Company is not
involved in sub-prime mortgage lending and the allowance for possible loan
losses does not reflect any reserve for such lending.
21
Investment
Securities
Investment
securities decreased 5.4% to $3,944,021,000 at March 31, 2008, from $4,170,188,000 at December 31,
2007. The decrease in investment securities can be attributed to principal pay
downs on mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio. All of the mortgage-backed securities held by
the Company are either fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government or issued by an
agency of the Federal Government and are rated AAA.
Loans
Loans,
net of unearned discounts increased 1.2% to $5,601,432,000 at March 31,
2008, from $5,536,628,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in loans can be attributed to
the Companys internal efforts to grow its loan balances.
Deposits
Deposits
increased 0.7% to $7,206,566,000 at March 31, 2008, from $7,157,606,000 at
December 31, 2007. The change in
deposits is primarily the result of the Companys internal sales program.
Foreign
Operations
On March 31, 2008, the Company had $11,016,786,000 of consolidated
assets, of which approximately $281,212,000, or 2.6%, was related to loans
outstanding to borrowers domiciled in foreign countries, compared to
$285,008,000, or 2.6%, at December 31, 2007. Of the $281,212,000, 80.3% is directly or
indirectly secured by U.S. assets, certificates of deposits and real estate;
18.9% is secured by foreign real estate; and 0.8% is unsecured.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has established various accounting policies
which govern the application of accounting principles in the preparation of the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
The significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve
significant subjective judgments and assumptions by management which have a
material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities;
management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting
policies.
The Company considers its Allowance for Possible Loan
Losses as a policy critical to the sound operations of the bank
subsidiaries. The allowance for possible
loan losses consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the bank
subsidiaries. The allowances are
established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for
possible loan losses. Loan losses or
recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for possible loan losses of
each bank subsidiary is maintained at a level considered appropriate by
management, based on estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is derived from the following
elements: (i) allowances
established on specific loans and (ii) allowances based on historical loss
experience on the Companys remaining loan portfolio, which includes general
economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and
external to the Company. See also
discussion regarding the allowance for possible loan losses and provision for
possible loan losses included in the results of operations and Provision and
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses included in Notes 1 and 5 of the notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys latest Annual Report on Form 10-K
for further information regarding the Companys provision and allowance for
possible loan losses policy.
22
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The
maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Companys bank subsidiaries with
the ability to meet potential depositor withdrawals, provide for customer
credit needs, maintain adequate statutory reserve levels and take full
advantage of high-yield investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is afforded by access to financial
markets and by holding appropriate amounts of liquid assets. The Companys bank subsidiaries derive their
liquidity largely from deposits of individuals and business entities. Deposits from persons and entities domiciled
in Mexico comprise a stable portion of the deposit base of the Companys bank
subsidiaries. Other important funding sources for the Companys bank
subsidiaries during 2008 and 2007 have been borrowings from FHLB, securities
sold under repurchase agreements and large certificates of deposit, requiring
management to closely monitor its asset/liability mix in terms of both rate
sensitivity and maturity distribution.
Primary liquidity of the Company and its subsidiaries has been
maintained by means of increased investment in shorter-term securities,
certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. As in the past, the Company will continue to
monitor the volatility and cost of funds in an attempt to match maturities of
rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and respond accordingly to anticipated
fluctuations in interest rates over reasonable periods of time.
The
Company maintains an adequate level of capital as a margin of safety for its
depositors and shareholders. At March 31,
2008, shareholders equity was $967,363,000 compared to $935,905,000 at December 31,
2007, an increase of $31,458,000, or 3.4%.
The increase is primarily due to the retention of earnings offset by
dividends to be paid to shareholders.
The
Company had a leverage ratio of 7.74% and 7.76%, risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratio of
12.01% and 11.98% and risk-weighted total capital ratio of 13.01% and 12.99% at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The identified intangibles and goodwill of
$312,565,000 as of March 31, 2008, recorded in connection with the Companys
acquisitions, are deducted from the sum of core capital elements when
determining the capital ratios of the Company.
As in the past, the Company will continue to monitor the volatility and
cost of funds in an attempt to match maturities of rate-sensitive assets and
liabilities, and respond accordingly to anticipate fluctuations in interest
rates by adjusting the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed
appropriate. The net-interest rate
sensitivity as of March 31, 2008 is illustrated in the table on the
following page. This information
reflects the balances of assets and liabilities for which rates are subject to
change. A mix of assets and liabilities
that are roughly equal in volume and re-pricing characteristics represents a
matched interest rate sensitivity position.
Any excess of assets or liabilities results in an interest rate
sensitivity gap.
The
Company undertakes an interest rate sensitivity analysis to monitor the
potential risk on future earnings resulting from the impact of possible future
changes in interest rates on currently existing net asset or net liability
positions. However, this type of
analysis is as of a point-in-time position, when in fact that position can
quickly change as market conditions, customer needs, and management strategies
change. Thus, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of asset and
liabilities equally or at the same time.
As indicated in the table, the Company is liability sensitive during the
early time periods and asset sensitive in the longer periods. The Companys Asset and Liability Committee
semi-annually reviews the consolidated position along with simulation and
duration models, and makes adjustments as needed to control the Companys
interest rate risk position. The Company
uses modeling of future events as a primary tool for monitoring interest rate
risk.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
During
the first three months of 2008, there were no material changes in market risk
exposures that affected the quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding
market risk presented under the caption Liquidity and Capital Resources
located on pages 18 through 22 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report as
filed as an exhibit to the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2007.

Controls
and Procedures
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within specified time
periods. As of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Companys principal
executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated, with the
participation of the Companys management, the effectiveness of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)). Based on the evaluation,
which disclosed no material weaknesses, the Companys principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent
fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings
that are in various stages of litigation.
Some of these actions allege lender liability claims on a variety of
theories and claim actual and punitive damages.
The Company has determined, based on discussions with its counsel that
any loss in such actions, individually or in the aggregate, is remote or the
damages sought, even if fully recovered, would not be considered material to the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, many of these matters are in various
stages of proceedings and further developments could cause management to revise
its assessment of these matters.
The
Companys lead bank subsidiary has invested in partnerships, which have entered
into several lease-financing transactions.
The lease-financing transactions in two of the partnerships have been
examined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In both partnerships, the lead bank
subsidiary was the owner of a ninety-nine percent (99%) limited partnership
interest. The IRS has issued separate
Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments (FPAA) to the
partnerships and on September 25, 2001, and January 10, 2003, the
Company filed lawsuits contesting the adjustments asserted in the FPAAs.
Prior
to filing the lawsuits, the Company was required to deposit the estimated tax
due of approximately $4,083,000 with respect to the first FPAA and $7,710,606
with respect to the second FPAA with the IRS pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code. If it is determined that the
amount of tax due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less
than the amount of the deposits, the remaining amount of the deposits would be
returned to the Company.
In
order to curtail the accrual of additional interest related to the disputed tax
benefits and because interest rates were unfavorable, on March 7, 2003,
the Company submitted to the IRS a total of approximately $13.7 million, which
constitutes the interest that would have accrued based on the adjustments
proposed in the FPAAs related to both of the lease-financing transactions. If it is determined that the amount of
interest due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than
the approximate $13.7 million, the remaining amount of the prepaid interest
would be refunded to the Company, plus interest thereon.
Beginning
August 29, 2005, IBC proceeded to litigate one of the partnership tax
cases in the Federal District Court in San Antonio, Texas. The case was tried over nine days beginning August 29,
2005. On March 31, 2006, the trial
court rendered a judgment against the Company on the first FPAA. IBC timely filed its notice of appeal to the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The
appeal was argued on August 8, 2007 and the Trial Court decision was
affirmed on August 23, 2007. The
judgment became non-appealable on November 21, 2007. The other partnership case was stayed by the
same Trial Court pending the appeal.
Following the resolution of the first case, the trial court reopened the
second case and set it for trial on September 2, 2008. Subsequently, the Company has engaged in
settlement negotiations with the Department of Justice, and has agreed to
settle the second case. Under the terms
of the settlement, the Company has conceded the entire amount in dispute based
upon the similarity of the facts of that case to the first case and the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome if litigated based upon the Court rulings
in the first case.
25
The
Company, through December 31, 2005, had previously expensed approximately
$12.0 million in connection with the lawsuits.
Because of the above-referenced trial court judgment against the Company
on the first FPAA, the uncertainty of the outcome at the appellate level, and
the similarity between the two FPAAs, the Company additionally expensed an approximate
$13.7 million in the first quarter of 2006.
The resultant approximately $25.7 million expensed is the total of the
tax adjustments due and the interest due on such adjustments for both
FPAAs. Management will continue to
evaluate the correspondence with the IRS on the FPAAs and make any appropriate
revisions to the amounts as deemed necessary.

Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds
The
Company expanded its formal stock repurchase program on May 3, 2007. Under the expanded stock repurchase program,
the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $225,000,000 of its common stock
through December 2008. Stock
repurchases may be made from time to time, on the open market or through
private transactions. Shares repurchased
in this program will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate purposes,
including employee stock option plans.
As of May 5, 2008, a total of 6,195,133 shares had been repurchased
under this program at a cost of $212,872,000.
Stock repurchases are reviewed quarterly at the Companys Board of
Directors meetings and the Board of Directors has stated that the aggregate
investment in treasury stock should not exceed $245,973,000. In the past, the Board of Directors has
increased previous caps on treasury stock once they were met, but there are no
assurances that an increase of the $245,973,000 cap will occur in the
future. As of May 5, 2008, the
Company has approximately $233,845,000 invested in treasury shares, which
amount has been accumulated since the inception of the Company.
Share repurchases are only
conducted under publicly announced repurchase programs approved by the Board of
Directors. The following table includes
information about share repurchases for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
