Note 1: See note 1 of notes to the consolidated financial statements regarding the adoption of SFAS
No.  142.  On  January  1,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  the  remaining  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  142,  which
discontinued amortization of goodwill. Accordingly, adjusted net income and per common share data for
the years ended December 31, 2004,  2003 and 2002 is  the same as actual  numbers.

Note 2: See note 11 of notes to the consolidated financial statements regarding the adoption of FIN
46, as revised. The Company early-adopted the provisions of FIN 46, as revised, as of December 31, 2003
and thus deconsolidated its investment in eight special purpose business trusts established for the issuance
of trust  preferred securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis represents an explanation of significant changes in the financial
position  and  results  of  operations  of  International  Bancshares  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  (the
‘‘Company’’ or the ‘‘Corporation’’) on a consolidated basis for the three-year period ended December 31,
2004.  The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004,  and  the  Selected  Financial  Data  and  Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘believe’’ and ‘‘project,’’ as well as other words or expressions of a similar
meaning  are  intended  to  identify  forward-looking  statements.  Readers  are  cautioned  not  to  place  undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Such statements are

caution.  Actual  results  and  experience  may  differ  materially  from  the  forward-looking  statements  as  a
result of many factors.

Factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  any  results  that  are  projected,
forecasted, estimated or budgeted by the Company in forward-looking statements include, among others,
the following possibilities:

(cid:127) Changes  in  interest  rates  and  market  prices,  which  could  reduce  the  Company’s  net  interest

margins, asset valuations and expense  expectations.

(cid:127) Changes  in  the  capital  markets  utilized  by  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  changes  in

the interest rate environment that may  reduce margins.

(cid:127) Changes in state and/or federal laws and regulations to which the Company and its subsidiaries, as
well  as  their  customers,  competitors  and  potential  competitors,  are  subject,  including,  without
limitation, changes in the accounting, tax and regulatory treatment of trust preferred securities, as
well as changes in banking, tax, securities,  insurance and employment  laws and  regulations.

(cid:127) Changes  in  U.S.—Mexico  trade,  including,  without  limitation,  reductions  in  border  crossings  and
commerce  resulting  from  the  Homeland  Security  Programs  called  ‘‘US-VISIT,’’  which  is  derived
from Section 110 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of  1996.

(cid:127) The loss of senior management or  operating personnel.

(cid:127) Increased competition from both within  and outside the banking  industry.

(cid:127) Changes in local, national and international economic business conditions that adversely affect the
Company’s customers and their ability to transact profitable business with the Company, including
the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans according to their terms or a change in the value of
the related collateral.

(cid:127) The timing, impact and other uncertainties of the Company’s potential future acquisitions including
the  Company’s  ability  to  identify  suitable  potential  future  acquisition  candidates,  the  success  or
failure  in  the  integration  of  their  operations  and  the  Company’s  ability  to  maintain  its  current
branch network and to enter new markets successfully and  capitalize on growth opportunities.

2

(cid:127) Changes in the Company’s ability to pay  dividends on its  Common Stock.

(cid:127) The effects of the litigation and proceedings pending with the Internal Revenue Service regarding

the Company’s lease financing transactions.

(cid:127) Additions  to  the  Company’s  loan  loss  allowance  as  a  result  of  changes  in  local,  national  or

international conditions which adversely affect the Company’s  customers.

(cid:127) Political instability.

(cid:127) Technological changes.

(cid:127) Acts of war or terrorism.

(cid:127) The  effect  of  changes  in  accounting  policies  and  practices  as  may  be  adopted  by  the  regulatory
agencies,  as  well  as  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board,  the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board and other accounting standards  setters.

It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. The Company makes no commitment to update
any forward-looking statement, or to disclose any facts, events or circumstances after the date hereof that
may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement, unless required  by  law.

Overview

The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with more than 160 facilities and more than
250  ATMs,  provides  banking  services  for  commercial,  consumer  and  international  customers  of  South,
Central and Southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma. The Company is the second largest independent
commercial bank holding company 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 Company’s primary
earnings come from the spread between the interest earned on interest-bearing assets and the interest paid
on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the Company generates income from fees on products offered to
commercial, consumer and international customers.

A  primary  goal  of  the  Company  is  to  grow  net  interest  income  and  non-interest  income  while
adequately  managing  credit  risk,  interest  rate  risk  and  expenses.  Effective  management  of  capital  is  a
critical objective of the Company. A key measure of the performance of a banking institution is the return
on  average  common  equity  (‘‘ROE’’).  The  Company’s  ROE  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004  was
18.17% as compared to 22.68% for the year ended  December  31, 2003.

The  Company  is  very  active  in  facilitating  trade  along  the  United  States  border  with  Mexico.  The
Company  does  a  significant  amount  of  business  with  customers  domiciled  in  Mexico.  Deposits  from
persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a significant and stable portion of the deposit base of
the Company’s bank subsidiaries. The Company also serves the growing Hispanic population through the
Company’s facilities located throughout South, Central and Southeast Texas.

Expense control is another essential element in the Company’s 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 Company’s efficiency ratio has been under 53% for
each of the last five years, which the Company believes is better than average compared to its national peer
group. One of the benefits derived from such operating efficiencies is that the Company is not subject to
undue pressure to  generate interest income from high-risk  loans.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company reduced its assets by approximately $1 billion dollars
in anticipation of the Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’) acquisition. The Company also increased its
overnight liquidity in the form of fed funds sold to prepare for the cash payment required as part of the

3

transaction.  On  June  18,  2004,  the  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of  LFIN.  The  Company  paid
consideration totaling approximately $276.6 million in cash and 2.11 million shares of Company stock. As a
result of the strategic management of earning assets in anticipation of the LFIN acquisition, net interest
income for the first, second and third  quarters of 2004 was negatively affected.

Net Income

Net  income  decreased  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004  as  compared  to  the  year  ended
December  31,  2003  primarily  because  of  differences  created  by  the  Company’s  recognition  of  securities
gains  in  2003  as  compared  to  2004  and  the  Company’s  strategic  management  of  earning  assets  in
anticipation of the Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’) acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2003,
the  Company  reduced  its  assets  by  approximately  $1  billion  in  anticipation  of  the  LFIN  acquisition.  The
Company  also  increased  its  overnight  liquidity  in  the  form  of  fed  funds  sold  to  prepare  for  the  cash
payment required as part of the transaction. On June 18, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of
LFIN. As a result of the strategic management of earning assets, net interest income for the first, second
and third quarters of 2004 was negatively affected. Net income for 2004 was positively affected by certain
gains  on  sales  of  Company-owned  property  in  the  amount  of  $2,080,000,  net  of  tax.  Additionally,  net
income for 2003 was positively affected by gains recognized on bond sales, which were made to reposition a
portion of the Company’s bond portfolio to realize the equity that was eroding in the portfolio due to rapid

4

principal  repayments.  The  Company  recorded  gains  on  the  bond  portfolio  of  $15,203,000  in  2003
compared to $5,775,000, net of tax in  2004.

Net  income  for  2002  was  negatively  affected  by  an  impairment  charge  of  $3,953,000  relating  to  the
Company’s  investment  in  the  Aircraft  Finance  Trust  (‘‘AFT’’),  net  of  tax.  The  Company  accounts  for  its
investment in AFT under the equity method of accounting. AFT utilizes derivative instruments to manage
the interest rate on bonds that it has issued. The derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges and are reported at
fair value. The Company records its proportionate share of the fair value of the derivatives as an increase
or  decrease  in  the  investment  in  AFT  and  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  net  of  tax.  The
Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses of AFT were losses of $0, $616,000 and $4,419,000 for
the  years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2003  and  2002,  respectively,  net  of  tax.  Because  of  the  losses  from
operations that AFT had reported as a result of the events of September 11 and the resulting impact on the
airline industry, the Company evaluated its investment, and recorded the impairment  charge in  2002. At
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s investment in AFT, with and without the proportionate share
of the fair value of the AFT derivatives,  was $0.

Net income for 2002 was also negatively affected by a write-off of $753,000, net of tax, relating to the
closure  of  several  in-store  branches  previously  located  in  Albertson’s  supermarkets.  On  March  13,  2002,
Albertson’s, Inc. announced its intention to exit substantially all of the Company’s markets. The Company
began  its  relationship  with  Albertson’s  in  1995.  Thirty  nine  Albertson’s  supermarkets  and  the  related
in-store branches of the Company located in Houston, San Antonio, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo,
Edinburg, San Juan, Pharr, Mission, Weslaco and Harlingen were closed. On June 7, 2002, H-E-B agreed
to purchase certain former Albertson’s locations in San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley. The Company
subsequently  agreed  with  H-E-B  to  open  in  four  of  the  Company’s  previous  in-store  locations  and  the
Company also agreed to open an in-store branch in another former Albertson’s store that was not occupied
by the Company. On May 10, 2002, Kroger Co. agreed to purchase certain former Albertson’s locations in
Houston.  The  Company  subsequently  agreed  with  Kroger  to  open  in  three  of  the  Company’s  previous
in-store  locations.  During  the  third  quarter  2002,  the  Company  concluded  that  the  remaining  in-store
locations would not be re-opened and wrote off $753,000, net of tax of its investment in the related in-store
branches.  The  Company  continues  to  maintain  one  Albertson’s  in-store  branch  in  the  New  Braunfels
market  that  was  not  closed  by  Albertson’s.  The  Company  does  not  believe  that  the  Albertson’s  closures
had any negative effects on its deposit base, consolidated  financial  condition or results of operations.

Additionally,  net  income  was  negatively  affected  in  2002  by  the  adoption  of  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards Number 142, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 142’’). As part of
the adoption, the Company concluded that it was probable that its investment services reporting unit was
impaired.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  was  $5,130,000,  net  of  tax,  and  was  reported  as  a  cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle.

On August 1, 2002, the Company completed its sale of three bank branches in Rockdale, Taylor and
Giddings,  Texas  to  Citizens  National  Bank  located  in  Cameron,  Texas.  The  branches  were  previously
acquired  by  the  Company  as  part  of  its  acquisition  of  National  Bancshares  Corporation  in  the  fourth
quarter of 2001 and represented approximately $36.3 million in loans and $93.1 million in deposits. As a
result of the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $2.0 million, net of tax in 2002. The Company sold these
branches because they did not fit into  the long-term strategic  plans of the Company.

Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income  is  the  spread  between  income  on  interest  earning  assets,  such  as  loans  and
securities,  and  the  interest  expense  on  liabilities  used  to  fund  those  assets,  such  as  deposits,  repurchase
agreements  and  funds  borrowed.  Net  interest  income  is  the  Company’s  largest  source  of  revenue.  Net

5

interest  income  is  affected  by  both  changes  in  the  level  of  interest  rates  and  changes  in  the  amount  and
composition of interest earning assets  and  interest bearing liabilities.

Due to decreasing market interest rates in 2003 and 2002, the Company accordingly lowered interest
rates on loans and deposits, which in turn affected the yield on interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities.  In  2004,  as  short  term  interest  rates  began  to  increase,  the  Company  accordingly  increased
interest  rates  on  loans  and  deposits.  The  yield  on  average  interest  earning  assets  decreased  5.6%  from
5.16% in 2003 to 4.87% in 2004, and the rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 2.3%
from 1.73% in 2003 to 1.69% in 2004. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 16.2% from
6.16% in 2002 to 5.16% in 2003 and the rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 23.8%
from 2.27% in 2002 to 1.73% in 2003.

(Note  1)  The  change  in  interest  due  to  both  rate  and  volume  has  been  allocated  to  volume  and  rate
changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute  dollar amounts of the  change  in each.

As  part  of  its  strategy  to  manage  interest  rate  risk,  the  Company  strives  to  manage  both  assets  and
liabilities so that interest sensitivities match. One method of calculating interest rate sensitivity is through
gap analysis. A gap is the difference between the amount of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate
sensitive  liabilities  that  re-price  or  mature  in  a  given  time  period.  Positive  gaps  occur  when  interest  rate
sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, and negative gaps occur when interest rate sensitive
liabilities  exceed  interest  rate  sensitive  assets.  A  positive  gap  position  in  a  period  of  rising  interest  rates
should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets will re-price faster than liabilities. Conversely,
net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of falling interest rates. Management can quickly
change  the  Company’s  interest  rate  position  at  any  given  point  in  time  as  market  conditions  dictate.
Additionally, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same
time.  Analytical  techniques  employed  by  the  Company  to  supplement  gap  analysis  include  simulation
analysis to quantify interest rate risk exposure. The gap analysis prepared by management is reviewed by

7

the  Investment  Committee  of  the  Company  twice  a  year.  The  Investment  Committee  is  comprised  of
certain  senior  managers  of  the  various  Company  bank  subsidiaries  along  with  consultants  when  needed.
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.

At December 31, 2004, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up
or a rate shift of 100 basis points down will not vary earnings by more than 3 percent of projected 2005 net
interest income. The basis point shift in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk,
and  does  not  necessarily  represent  management’s  current  view  of  future  market  developments.  The
Company believes that it is properly  positioned for a potential interest  rate increase or decrease.

The  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  increased  74.5%  to  $84,905,000  at  December  31,  2004  from
$48,646,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in the allowance for possible loan losses can be primarily
attributed  to  the  additional  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  related  to  the  LFIN  acquisition,  totaling
$33,865,000. On October 29, 2004, an approximately $9.6 million original loan relationship was refinanced
by  the  borrower  with  a  non-affiliated  third  party  lender  and  as  a  result  the  Company  recovered
approximately $3.05 million of interest and principal. This recovery positively affected the Company’s 2004
provision for possible loan losses. The increase in non-accrual loans from 2003 to 2004 can be attributed to
certain non-accrual loans acquired as  a  result  of  the LFIN acquisition.

The  following  table  presents  information  concerning  the  aggregate  amount  of  non-accrual  and  past

The  gross  income  that  would  have  been  recorded  during  2004  and  2003  on  non-accrual  and
restructured  loans  in  accordance  with  their  original  contract  terms  was  $962,000  and  $1,814,000  on
domestic loans and $241,000 and $56,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on
such  loans  that  was  recognized  in  2004  and  2003  was  $195,000  and  $1,086,000  on  domestic  loans  and
$41,000 and $5,000 for foreign loans, respectively.

The non-accrual loan policy of the bank subsidiaries is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans
when management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be uncollectible. Interest

8

income  on  non-accrual  loans  is  recognized  only  to  the  extent  payments  are  received  or  when,  in
management’s  opinion,  the  creditor’s  financial  condition  warrants  reestablishment  of  interest  accruals.
Under special circumstances, a loan may be more than 90 days delinquent as to interest or principal and
not be placed on non-accrual status. This situation generally results when a bank subsidiary has a borrower
who is experiencing financial difficulties, but not to the extent that requires a restructuring of indebtedness.
The majority of this category is composed of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for
which  there  has  been  a  recent  history  of  payments.  When  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status,  any
interest accrued, not paid is reversed and  charged to operations against interest  income.

Loan commitments, consisting of unused commitments to lend, letters of credit, credit card lines and
other approved loans, that have not been funded, were $1,406,598,000 and $770,896,000 at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in loan commitments can be attributed to the LFIN acquisition.
See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial  Statements.

The  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  consists  of  the  aggregate  loan  loss  allowances  of  the  bank
subsidiaries.  The  allowances  are  established  through  charges  to  operations  in  the  form  of  provisions  for
possible loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances.

The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a
loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a ‘‘loss’’ by bank examiners. Commercial,
financial and agricultural or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss,
in  whole  or  part,  (i)  when  an  exposure  beyond  any  collateral  coverage  is  apparent,  (ii)  when  no  further
collection of the portion of the loan so exposed is anticipated based on actual results, (iii) when the credit
enhancements,  if  any,  are  not  adequate,  and  (iv)  when  the  borrower’s  financial  condition  would  so
indicate. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged off when 90  days past due.

While  management  of  the  Company  considers  that  it  is  generally  able  to  identify  borrowers  with
financial problems reasonably early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no
precise  method  of  predicting  loan  losses.  The  determination  that  a  loan  is  likely  to  be  uncollectible  and
that  it  should  be  wholly  or  partially  charged  off  as  a  loss  is  an  exercise  of  judgment.  Similarly,  the
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses can be made only on a subjective
basis.  It  is  the  judgment  of  the  Company’s  management  that  the  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  at
December  31,  2004  was  adequate  to  absorb  probable  losses  from  loans  in  the  portfolio  at  that  date.  See
Critical Accounting Policies on page 23.

Non-interest  income  for  2004  was  positively  affected  by  the  Company’s  expansion  into  the  state  of
Oklahoma  through  its  acquisition  of  LFIN.  The  Company  recorded  investment  securities  gains  of
$8,884,000 in 2004 compared to gains of $23,390,000 for 2003 and gains of $2,303,000 in 2002. These gains
in 2003 occurred due to a program to reposition a portion of the Company’s bond portfolio to realize the
equity  that  was  eroding  in  the  portfolio  due  to  rapid  principal  repayments,  the  result  of  which,  in  effect,
accelerated future earnings. The decreases in non-banking service charges for 2004 can be attributed to a
decrease  in  fees  earned  by  the  Company’s  investment  services  unit.  Non-interest  income  also  includes
income on other investments. Income on other investments increased to $13,012,000 in 2004 compared to
$8,606,000  in  2003,  and  $(2,598,000)  in  2002.  The  increase  in  2004  can  be  attributed  to  the  LFIN
acquisition.  The  decrease  in  2002  can  be  attributed  to  losses  taken  by  the  Company  on  its  investment  in
AFT. Other income for 2002 was positively affected by the sale of three bank branches in Rockdale, Taylor
and Giddings, Texas to Citizen’s National Bank located in Cameron, Texas. The branches were previously
acquired by the Company in 2001 as part of its acquisition of National Bancshares Corporation. The gain
recognized on the sale totaled $3,100,000.

Expense  control  is  an  essential  element  in  the  Company’s  profitability.  This  is  achieved  through
maintaining  optimum  staffing  levels,  an  effective  budgeting  process,  and  internal  consolidation  of  bank
functions. The increases in non-interest expense for the three years ended 2004 were due to the expanded
operations  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  (including  the  acquisition  of  LFIN  in  June  2004,  which
added  approximately  700  employees,  52  branches  and  $42,188,000  in  identified  intangible  assets)  and
increased fees paid by the Company’s investment  banking unit, the  GulfStar Group in 2003.

Effects of Inflation

The principal component of earnings is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level
of interest rates. Changes in rates of inflation affect interest rates. It is difficult to precisely measure the
impact  of  inflation  on  net  interest  income  because  it  is  not  possible  to  accurately  differentiate  between
increases  in  net  interest  income  resulting  from  inflation  and  increases  resulting  from  increased  business
activity. Inflation also raises costs of  operations, primarily  those  of  employment and services.

International Operations

On December 31, 2004, the Company had $239,622,000 (2.4% of total assets) in loans outstanding to
borrowers domiciled in foreign countries. The loan policies of the Company’s bank subsidiaries generally
require that loans to borrowers domiciled in foreign countries be primarily secured by assets located in the
United  States  or  have  credit  enhancements,  in  the  form  of  guarantees,  from  significant  United  States
corporations. The composition of such loans and the related amounts of allocated allowance for possible
loan losses as of December 31, 2004 is presented  below.

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The
Company relies primarily on its high quality customer service, sales programs and advertising to attract and
retain  these  deposits.  Deposits  provide  the  primary  source  of  funding  for  the  Company’s  lending  and
investment activities, and the interest paid for deposits must be managed carefully to control the level of
interest  expense.  Deposits  at  December  31,  2004  were  $6,571,104,000,  an  increase  of  48.1%  over
$4,435,699,000 at December 31, 2003. The increase in deposits from 2003 to 2004 is primarily the result of
the LFIN acquisition completed on June 18, 2004, and the Company’s increased sales efforts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The  maintenance  of  adequate  liquidity  provides  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  with  the  ability  to
meet  potential  depositor  withdrawals,  provide  for  customer  credit  needs,  maintain  adequate  statutory
reserve  levels  and  take  full  advantage  of  high-yield  investment  opportunities  as  they  arise.  Liquidity  is
afforded  by  access  to  financial  markets  and  by  holding  appropriate  amounts  of  liquid  assets.  The  bank
subsidiaries of the Company derive their liquidity largely from deposits of individuals and business entities.
Deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a stable portion of the deposit base of
the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries.  Historically,  the  Mexico  based  deposits  of  the  Company’s  bank
subsidiaries have been a stable source of funding. Such deposits comprised approximately 28%, 39% and
41%  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries’  total  deposits  as  of  December  31,  2004,  2003  and  2002,
respectively.  The  decline  in  the  concentration  of  Mexico  based  deposits  can  be  attributed  to  recent
acquisitions,  including  LFIN,  and  the  growth  in  the  Company’s  deposit  base  in  Texas.  Other  important
funding  sources  for  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  have  been  wholesale  liabilities  with  the  Federal
Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’) and large certificates of deposit, requiring management to closely monitor its
asset/liability  mix  in  terms  of  both  rate  sensitivity  and  maturity  distribution.  Primary  liquidity  of  the
Company  and  its  subsidiaries  has  been  maintained  by  means  of  increased  investment  in  shorter-term
securities,  certificates  of  deposit  and  loans.  As  in  the  past,  the  Company  will  continue  to  monitor  the
volatility  and  cost  of  funds  in  an  attempt  to  match  maturities  of  rate-sensitive  assets  and  liabilities,  and
respond accordingly to anticipated fluctuations in interest  rates over reasonable periods of time.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company’s fund management policy has as its primary focus the measurement and management
of the banks’ earnings at risk in the face of rising or falling interest rate forecasts. The earliest and most
simplistic  concept  of  earnings  at  risk  measurement  is  the  gap  report,  which  is  used  to  generate  a  rough
estimate  of  the  vulnerability  of  net  interest  income  to  changes  in  market  rates  as  implied  by  the  relative
re-pricings of assets and liabilities. The gap report calculates the difference between the amounts of assets
and liabilities re-pricing across a series of intervals in time, with emphasis typically placed on the one-year
period. This difference, or gap, is usually expressed  as a percentage of total assets.

If an excess of liabilities over assets matures or re-prices within the one-year period, the statement of
condition  is  said  to  be  negatively  gapped.  This  condition  is  sometimes  interpreted  to  suggest  that  an
institution  is  liability-sensitive,  indicating  that  earnings  would  suffer  from  rising  rates  and  benefit  from
falling  rates.  If  a  surplus  of  assets  over  liabilities  occurs  in  the  one-year  time  frame,  the  statement  of
condition is said to be positively gapped, suggesting a condition of asset sensitivity in which earnings would
benefit from rising rates and suffer from falling  rates.

The gap report thus consists of an inventory of dollar amounts of assets and liabilities that have the
potential to mature or re-price within a particular period. The flaw in drawing conclusions about interest
rate  risk  from  the  gap  report  is  that  it  takes  no  account  of  the  probability  that  potential  maturities  or
re-pricings of interest-rate-sensitive accounts will occur, or at what relative magnitudes. Because simplicity,
rather  than  utility,  is  the  only  virtue  of  gap  analysis,  financial  institutions  increasingly  have  either
abandoned  gap  analysis  or  accorded  it  a  distinctly  secondary  role  in  managing  their  interest-rate  risk
exposure.

The  net  interest  rate  sensitivity  at  December  31,  2004,  is  illustrated  in  the  following  table.  This
information reflects the balances of assets and liabilities whose rates are subject to change. As indicated in
the table on the following page, the Company is liability sensitive during the early time periods and is asset

18

sensitive in the longer periods. The table shows the sensitivity of the statement of condition at one point in
time and is not necessarily indicative  of the  position at future  dates.

The detailed inventory of statement of condition items contained in gap reports is the starting point of
income  simulation  analysis.  Income  simulation  analysis  also  focuses  on  the  variability  of  net  interest
income  and  net  income,  but  without  the  limitations  of  gap  analysis.  In  particular,  the  fundamental,  but
often  unstated,  assumption  of  the  gap  approach  that  every  statement  of  condition  item  that  can  re-price
will do so to the full extent of any movement in market interest rates is taken into consideration in income
simulation analysis.

Accordingly,  income  simulation  analysis  captures  not  only  the  potential  of  assets  and  liabilities  to
mature  or  re-price,  but  also  the  probability  that  they  will  do  so.  Moreover,  income  simulation  analysis
focuses  on  the  relative  sensitivities  of  these  balance  sheet  items  and  projects  their  behavior  over  an
extended  period  of  time  in  a  motion  picture  rather  than  snapshot  fashion.  Finally,  income  simulation
analysis permits management to assess the probable effects on balance sheet items not only of changes in

19

market interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to such changes. The Company and
many  other  institutions  rely  primarily  upon  income  simulation  analysis  in  measuring  and  managing
exposure to interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2004, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up
or  100  basis  points  down  will  not  vary  earnings  by  more  than  3%  of  projected  2005  net  interest  income.
The  basis  point  shift  in  interest  rates  is  a  hypothetical  rate  scenario  used  to  calibrate  risk,  and  does  not
necessarily represent management’s current view of future market developments.  The  Company believes
that it is properly positioned for a potential rate  increase or  decrease.

All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon the Company’s business mix and
interest rate exposures at the particular point in time. The exposure changes continuously as a result of the
Company’s  ongoing  business  and  its  risk  management  initiatives.  While  management  believes  these
measures  provide  a  meaningful  representation  of  the  Company’s  interest  rate  sensitivity,  they  do  not
necessarily take into account all business developments that have an effect on net income, such as changes
in  credit  quality  or  the  size  and  composition  of  the  statement  of  condition.

Principal  sources  of  liquidity  and  funding  for  the  Company  are  dividends  from  subsidiaries  and
borrowed  funds,  with  such  funds  being  used  to  finance  the  Company’s  cash  flow  requirements.  The
Company closely monitors the dividend restrictions and availability from the bank subsidiaries as disclosed
in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2004, the aggregate amount legally
available  to  be  distributed  to  the  Company  from  bank  subsidiaries  as  dividends  was  approximately
$61,000,000, assuming that each bank subsidiary continues to be classified as ‘‘well capitalized’’ under the
applicable regulations and excluding certified surplus. Pursuant to Texas law, a Texas state bank’s lending
limit is twenty-five percent of the bank’s capital and certified surplus. The board of directors of the bank
determines how much surplus will be certified. Except to absorb losses in excess of undivided profits and
uncertified  surplus,  certified  surplus  may  not  be  reduced  without  the  prior  written  approval  of  the  Texas
banking  commissioner.  The  restricted  capital  (capital,  surplus  and  certified  surplus)  of  the  bank
subsidiaries was approximately $863,604,000 as of December 31, 2004. The undivided profits of the bank
subsidiaries were approximately $417,388,000  as of December 31, 2004.

At  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  has  outstanding  $1,670,199,000  in  other  borrowed  funds  and
$235,395,000  in  junior  subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures.  In  addition  to  borrowed  funds  and
dividends, the Company has a number of other available alternatives to finance the growth of its existing
banks as well as future growth and expansion.

The  Company  maintains  an  adequate  level  of  capital  as  a  margin  of  safety  for  its  depositors  and
shareholders. At December 31, 2004, shareholders’ equity was $753,090,000 compared to $577,383,000 at
December  31,  2003,  an  increase  of  $175,706,000,  or  30.4%.  The  increase  in  shareholders’  equity  can  be
attributed  to  the  retention  of  earnings  and  the  issuance  of  2,114,558  shares  of  the  Company’s  Common
Stock as part of the LFIN acquisition. The accumulated other comprehensive income is not included in the
calculation of regulatory capital ratios.

During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board (‘‘FRB’’) adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the
most  highly  rated  bank  holding  companies  and  at  least  4%  to  5%  for  all  other  bank  holding  companies.
The  Company’s  leverage  ratio  (defined  as  shareholders’  equity  plus  eligible  trust  preferred  securities
issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other intangibles divided by average quarterly assets) was
6.91% at December 31, 2004 and 8.75% at December 31, 2003. The core deposit intangibles and goodwill
of $333,662,000 as of December 31, 2004, recorded in connection with financial institution acquisitions of
the Company after February 1992, are deducted from the sum of core capital elements when determining
the capital ratios of the Company. The substantial increase in core deposit intangibles and goodwill and the
resulting decrease in the Company’s  leverage ratio can be attributed to the LFIN acquisition.

20

The  FRB  has  adopted  risk-based  capital  guidelines  which  assign  risk  weightings  to  assets  and
off-balance  sheet  items.  The  guidelines  also  define  and  set  minimum  capital  requirements  (risk-based
capital ratios). Under the final 1992 rules, all banks are required to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4.0% of
risk-weighted assets and total capital of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of
shareholders’ equity plus trust preferred securities issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other
intangibles,  while  total  capital  consists  of  Tier  1  capital,  certain  debt  instruments  and  a  portion  of  the
reserve for loan losses. In order to be deemed well capitalized pursuant to the regulations, an institution
must  have  a  total  risk-weighted  capital  ratio  of  10%,  a  Tier  1  risk-weighted  ratio  of  6%  and  a  Tier  1
leverage ratio of 5%. The Company had risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratios of 10.74% and 17.30% and risk
weighted total capital ratios of 11.99% and 19.33% as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which
are well above the minimum regulatory requirements and exceed the well capitalized ratios (see note 21 to
notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

During the past few years the Company has expanded its banking facilities. Among the activities and
commitments the Company funded during 2004 and 2003 were certain capital expenditures relating to the
modernization and improvement of several existing bank facilities and the expansion of the bank branch
network.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest  Debentures

In  January  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  FASB  Interpretation  No.  46
(‘‘FIN  46’’),  ‘‘Consolidation  of  Variable  Interest  Entities.’’  The  intention  of  FIN  46  was  to  clarify  the
application  of  Accounting  Research  Bulletin  No.  51,  ‘‘Consolidated  Financial  Statements,’’  to  certain
entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not
have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support  from  other  parties.  FIN  46  requires  an  enterprise  considered  to  be  a  variable  interest  entity
(‘‘VIE’’) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the enterprise that will absorb the
majority of the VIE’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns if they
occur,  or  both.  In  December  2003,  the  FASB  issued  Staff  Interpretation  No.  46R  (‘‘FIN  46R’’),
‘‘Consolidation  of  Variable  Interest  Entities,  an  interpretation  of  ARB  51  (revised  December  2003),’’
which  replaces  FIN  46,  in  order  to  clarify  the  guidance  in  the  original  interpretation.  FIN  46  applies  to
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also applies to all variable interest entities
created prior to February 1, 2003 that are considered to be special-purpose entities, as defined in FIN 46R,
as of December 31, 2003. FIN 46R must be applied to all variable interest entities no later than the end of
the  first  reporting  period  that  ends  after  March  15,  2004.  The  Company  early  adopted  the  provisions  of
FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003.

The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for
the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. As part of the LFIN acquisition, the Company acquired
three  additional  statutory  business  trusts  previously  formed  by  LFIN  for  the  purpose  of  issuing  trust
preferred  securities.  The  eight  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.  The  Company  has  succeeded  to  the
obligations  of  LFIN  under  the  LFIN  Debentures,  which  have  an  outstanding  principal  balance  of
$62,115,000. The Debentures will mature on various dates; however the Debentures may be redeemed at
specified  prepayment  prices,  in  whole  or  in  part  after  the  optional  redemption  dates  specified  in  the
respective indentures or in whole upon the occurrence of any one of certain legal, regulatory or tax events
specified  in  respective  indentures.  As  of  December  31,  2004,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures
outstanding totaled $235,395,000.

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

21

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 Trusts I through IV and LFIN Trust II and
for  up  to  twenty  consecutive  quarterly  periods  on  Trusts  V  through  VIII  and  LFIN  Trusts  I  and  III.  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 non-banking subsidiaries of the Company
and  consolidated  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  prior  to  December  31,  2003.  Since  the
Company’s  adoption  of  FIN  46R  on  December  31,  2003,  the  Trusts  are  treated  as  investments  of  the
Company  and  not  consolidated  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Although  the  Capital  Securities
issued by each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated
statement  of  condition,  the  Capital  Securities  are  treated  as  capital  for  regulatory  purposes.  Specifically,
under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital
up  to  a  maximum  of  25%  of  Tier  1  capital  on  an  aggregate  basis.  Any  amount  that  exceeds  the  25%
threshold  would  qualify  as  Tier  2  capital.  For  December  31,  2004,  the  total  $235,395,000  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  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.

and  lines  of  credit,  the  amounts  presented  above  do  not  necessarily  reflect  the  amounts  the  Company
anticipates funding in the periods presented  above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting
principles  in  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  significant
accounting  policies  are  described  in  the  footnotes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Certain
accounting policies involve significant 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  Company’s  remaining  loan  portfolio,  which
includes  general  economic  conditions  and  other  qualitative  risk  factors  both  internal  and  external  to  the
Company. See also discussion regarding the allowance for possible loan losses and provision for possible

23

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  for  further  information
regarding the Company’s provision and  allowance for possible loan losses  policy.

The  specific  loan  loss  provision  is  determined  using  the  following  methods.  On  a  weekly  basis,  loan
past due reports are reviewed by the servicing loan officer to determine if a loan has any potential problem
and  if  a  loan  should  be  placed  on  the  Company’s  internal  classified  report.  Additionally,  the  Company’s
credit department reviews the majority of the loans regardless of whether they are past due and segregates
any  loans  with  potential  problems  for  further  review.  The  credit  department  will  discuss  the  potential
problem loans with the servicing loan officers to determine any relevant issues that were not discovered in
the evaluation. Also, any analysis on loans that is provided through examinations by regulatory authorities
is considered in the review process. After the above analysis is completed, the Company will determine if a
loan should be placed on an internal classified report because of issues related to the analysis of the credit,
credit documents, collateral and/or payment history.

The  Company’s  internal  classified  report  is  segregated  into  the  following  categories:  (i)  ‘‘Pass
Credits,’’ (ii) ‘‘Special Review Credits,’’ (iii) ‘‘Watch List Credits-Pass Credits,’’ or (iv) ‘‘Watch List Credits-
Substandard and Doubtful Credits.’’ The loans placed in the ‘‘Pass Credits’’ category reflect the Company’s
opinion  that  the  loan  conforms  to  the  bank’s  lending  policies,  which  includes  the  borrower’s  ability  to
repay,  the  value  of  the  underlying  collateral,  if  any,  as  it  relates  to  the  outstanding  indebtedness  of  the
loan, and the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. The loans placed in the
‘‘Special Review Credits’’ or the ‘‘Watch List Credits-Pass Credits’’ category reflect the Company’s opinion
that the loans reflect potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis; however, the
‘‘Special Review Credits’’ or the ‘‘Watch List Credits-Pass  Credits’’ are not considered to need  a specific
reserve at the time, but are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the
lending  staff  to  determine  if  a  change  in  category  is  warranted.  The  loans  placed  in  the  ‘‘Watch  List
Credits-Substandard and Doubtful Credits’’ category reflect the Company’s opinion that the loans contain
clearly  pronounced  credit  weaknesses  and/or  inherent  financial  weaknesses  of  the  borrower.  Credits
classified  as  ‘‘Watch  List  Credits-Substandard  and  Doubtful  Credits’’  are  potentially  evaluated  under
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  114,  ‘‘Accounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of  a
Loan,’’ criteria and, if deemed necessary a specific reserve is allocated to the credit. The specific reserve
allocated under SFAS No. 114, is based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at  the  loan’s  effective  interest  rate;  (2)  the  loan’s  observable  market  price;  or  (3)  the  fair  value  of  the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The allowance, based on historical loss experience on the Company’s remaining loan portfolio, which
includes the ‘‘Pass Credits,’’ ‘‘Special Review Credits,’’ ‘‘Watch List Credits-Pass Credits,’’ and ‘‘Watch List
Credits-Substandard and Doubtful Credits’’ is determined by segregating the remaining loan portfolio into
certain categories such as commercial loans, installment loans, international loans, loan concentrations and
overdrafts.  Installment  loans  are  then  further  segregated  by  number  of  days  past  due.  A  historical  loss
percentage,  adjusted  for  (i)  management’s  evaluation  of  changes  in  lending  policies  and  procedures,
(ii) current economic conditions in the market area served by the Company, (iii) other risk factors, (iv) the
effectiveness of the internal loan review function, (v) changes in loan portfolios, and (vi) the composition
and  concentration  of  credit  volume  is  applied  to  each  category.  Each  category  is  then  added  together  to
determine the allowance allocated under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  5.

The Company’s management continually reviews the allowance for loan loss of the bank subsidiaries
using the amounts determined from the allowances established on specific loans, the allowance established
based  on  historical  percentages  and  the  loans  charged  off  and  recoveries  to  establish  an  appropriate
amount to maintain in the Company’s allowance for loan loss. If the basis of the Company’s assumptions
change, the allowance for loan loss would either decrease or increase and the Company would increase or
decrease the provision for loan loss charged  to  operations  accordingly.

statements for details of recently issued and recently adopted accounting standards and their impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Common Stock and Dividends

The Company had issued and outstanding 50,899,550 shares of $1.00 par value Common Stock held by
approximately 2,447 holders of record at March 7, 2005. The book value of the stock, adjusted for stock
dividends,  at  December  31,  2004  was  $16.49  per  share  compared  with  $12.94  per  share  at  December  31,
2003.

The  Common  Stock  is  traded  on  the  NASDAQ  National  Market  under  the  symbol  ‘‘IBOC.’’  The
following  table  sets  forth  the  approximate  high  and  low  bid  prices  in  the  Company’s  Common  Stock,
adjusted for stock dividends during 2003 and 2004, as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market for each

dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions.  The  closing  sales  price  of  the  Company’s  Common  Stock  was  $36.75  per  share  at  March  7,
2005.

Stock Repurchase Program

The  Company  expanded  its  formal  stock  repurchase  program  on  December  16,  2004.  Under  the
expanded  stock  repurchase  program,  the  Company  is  authorized  to  repurchase  up  to  $175,000,000  of  its
Common  Stock  through  December  31,  2005.  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 March 7, 2005, a
total of 3,663,577 shares had been repurchased under this program at a cost of $145,650,000, which shares
are now reflected as 7,253,456 shares of treasury stock as adjusted for stock dividends. Stock repurchases
are  reviewed  quarterly  at  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  meetings  and  the  Board  of  Directors  has
stated  that  the  aggregate  investment  in  treasury  stock  should  not  exceed  $195,973,000.  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  $195,973,000  cap  will  occur  in  the  future.  As  of  March  7,  2005,  the
Company has approximately $166,624,000 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 December 31, 2004.

exercise of options at an exercise price of $13.32, adjusted for stock dividends, by certain employees of the
GulfStar  Group,  who  are  not  executive  officers  of  the  Company.  Neither  the  options  nor  the  shares  of

Company Common Stock issued are  restricted securities and are subject to resale restrictions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
International Bancshares Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of International Bancshares
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements
of  income,  comprehensive  income,  shareholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the
three-year period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting
Oversight  Board  (United  States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our  opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the  financial  position  of  International  Bancshares  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  as  of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 31, 2003,
the  Company  changed  its  method  of  accounting  for  its  investment  in  its  statutory  business  trusts,  and  as
discussed  in  note 1  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  effective  January  1,  2002,  the  Company
changed its method of accounting for goodwill and  other intangible assets.

We also have audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the effectiveness of International Bancshares Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal
control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2004,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission  (COSO),  and  our  report  dated  March  15,  2005  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on
management’s assessment of, and the  effective operation of,  internal control over  financial  reporting.

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of International Bancshares Corporation (‘‘Corporation’’) and
Subsidiaries (the Corporation and Subsidiaries collectively referred to herein as the ‘‘Company’’) conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within
the banking industry. The following is  a  description  of  the more significant of those policies.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned
bank  subsidiaries,  International  Bank  of  Commerce,  Laredo  (‘‘IBC’’),  Commerce  Bank,  International
Bank of Commerce, Zapata, International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville, and the Corporation’s wholly-
owned  non-bank  subsidiaries,  IBC  Subsidiary  Corporation,  IBC  Life  Insurance  Company,  IBC  Trading
Company and IBC Capital Corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

The Company early adopted the provisions of FIN 46R as of December 31, 2003 and deconsolidated
its investment in eight statutory business trusts formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.
Three  statutory  business  trusts  that  were  acquired  in  the  Company’s  acquisition  of  Local  Financial
Corporation are also deconsolidated  under the provisions  of FIN 46R.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the business of banking, including the
acceptance  of  checking  and  savings  deposits  and  the  making  of  commercial,  real  estate,  personal,  home
improvement, automobile and other installment and term loans. The primary markets of the Company are
South,  Central,  and  Southeast  Texas  and  the  state  of  Oklahoma.  Each  bank  subsidiary  is  very  active  in
facilitating  international  trade  along  the  United  States  border  with  Mexico  and  elsewhere.  Although  the
Company’s  loan  portfolio  is  diversified,  the  ability  of  the  Company’s  debtors  to  honor  their  contracts  is
primarily  dependent  upon  the  economic  conditions  in  the  Company’s  trade  area.  In  addition,  the
investment  portfolio  is  directly  impacted  by  fluctuations  in  market  interest  rates.  The  Company  and  its
bank subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies as well as the Texas Department
of Banking and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. Such agencies may require
certain standards or impose certain limitations based on their judgments or changes in law and regulations.

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  policies
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  as  of  the  dates  of  the  statement  of
condition  and  income  and  expenses  for  the  periods.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from  those
estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term relate
to the determination of the allowance  for possible loan losses.

Per Share Data

All  share  and  per  share  information  has  been  restated  giving  retroactive  effect  to  stock  dividends

distributed.

Investment Securities

The  Company  classifies  debt  and  equity  securities  into  one  of  these  categories:  held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale,  or  trading.  Such  classifications  are  reassessed  for  appropriate  classification  at  each
reporting  date.  Securities  classified  as  ‘‘held-to-maturity’’  are  carried  at  amortized  cost  for  financial
statement reporting, while securities classified as ‘‘available-for-sale’’ and ‘‘trading’’ are carried at their fair

37

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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
and in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. The Company did
not maintain any trading securities during  the two year  period  ended December 31, 2004.

Mortgage-backed  securities  held  at  December  31,  2004  and  2003  represent  participating  interests  in
pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Premiums
and  discounts  are  amortized  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  contractual  maturity  of  the  loans
adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Income recognized under the straight-line method is not materially
different  from  income  that  would  be  recognized  under  the  level  yield  or  ‘‘interest  method’’.  Mortgage-
backed securities are either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Market interest
rate fluctuations can affect the prepayment  speed  of  principal and the yield on  the security.

Unearned Discounts

Consumer loans are frequently made on a discount basis. The amount of the discount is subsequently
included in interest income ratably over the term of the related loans to approximate the effective interest
method.

Provision and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to
provide  for  probable  loan  losses.  The  allowance  is  increased  by  provisions  charged  to  operating  expense
and  reduced  by  net  charge-offs.  The  provision  for  possible  loan  losses  is  the  amount,  which,  in  the
judgment of management, is necessary to establish the allowance for probable loan losses at a level that is
adequate to absorb known and inherent  risks in the  loan  portfolio.

Management believes that the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. While management uses
available  information  to  recognize  losses  on  loans,  future  additions  to  the  allowance  may  be  necessary
based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their  examination  process,  periodically  review  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries’  allowances  for  possible
loan  losses.  Such  agencies  may  require  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  to  recognize  additions  or
reductions  to  their  allowances  based  on  their  judgments  of  information  available  to  them  at  the  time  of
their examination.

Loans

Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned discounts. Interest income
on  loans  is  reported  on  an  accrual  basis.  Loan  fees  and  costs  associated  with  originating  the  loans  are
amortized over the life of the loan.

Non-Accrual Loans

The  non-accrual  loan  policy  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  is  to  discontinue  the  accrual  of
interest  on  loans  when  management  determines  that  it  is  probable  that  future  interest  accruals  will  be
un-collectible. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent payments are received

38

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

or  when,  in  management’s  opinion,  the  debtor’s  financial  condition  warrants  reestablishment  of  interest
accruals.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other  real  estate  owned  is  comprised  of  real  estate  acquired  by  foreclosure  and  deeds  in  lieu  of
foreclosure. Other real estate is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair
value  less  estimated  costs  to  sell  such  property  (as  determined  by  independent  appraisal).  Prior  to
foreclosure,  the  value  of  the  underlying  loan  is  written  down  to  the  fair  value  of  the  real  estate  to  be
acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan possible losses, if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs
are charged against other non-interest expense. Operating expenses of such properties and gains and losses
on their disposition are included in other  non-interest expense.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is
computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs
and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred and expenditures for renewals and betterments are
capitalized.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method. Under
this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the differences
between  the  book  and  tax  basis  of  the  various  balance  sheet  assets  and  liabilities  and  gives  current
recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return
with its subsidiaries.

Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on management’s belief that the benefit related to certain
temporary  differences,  tax  operating  loss  carryforwards,  and  tax  credits  are  more  likely  than  not  to  be
realized. A valuation allowance is recorded for the amount of the deferred tax items for which it is more
likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.

Stock Options

In  December  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  issued  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (‘‘SFAS No. 148’’), ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—
Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.’’ SFAS No. 148 amends Statement
‘‘Accounting  for  Stock-Based
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  123  (‘‘SFAS  No.  123’’), 
Compensation,’’ to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method  of  accounting  for  stock-based  employee  compensation.  In  addition,  SFAS  No.  148  amends  the
disclosure  requirement  of  SFAS  No.  123  to  require  prominent  disclosures  in  both  annual  and  interim
financial  statements  about  the  fair  value  based  method  of  accounting  for  stock-based  employee
compensation  for  those  companies  that  have  elected  to  continue  to  apply  Accounting  Principles  Board
Opinion No. 25 (‘‘APB 25’’), ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ In December 2004, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (‘‘SFAS No. 123R’’), ‘‘Share-Based Payment
(Revised  2004).’’  SFAS  123R  eliminates  the  ability  to  account  for  stock-based  compensation  using
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25  (‘‘APB  25’’),  ‘‘Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees,’’

and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statement
of income based on their fair values on the date of the grant. The Company will be required to adopt the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005. See further discussion in this note under the heading ‘‘New
Accounting Standards.’’

At December 31, 2004, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan and certain
options  granted  outside  the  plan.  The  Company  accounts  for  options  under  the  recognition  and
measurement principles of APB 25, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee cost is reflected
in  net  income,  as  all  options  granted  had  an  exercise  price  equal  to  the  market  value  of  the  underlying
common  stock  on  the  date  of  grant.  The  following  table,  as  prescribed  by  SFAS  No.  148,  illustrates  the
effect  on  net  income  and  earnings  per  share  if  the  Company  had  applied  the  fair  value  recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock based employee compensation.

Net Income Per Share

Basic  Earnings  Per  Share  (‘‘EPS’’)  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common
shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect
of  stock  options  is  considered  in  earnings  per  share  calculations,  if  dilutive,  using  the  treasury  stock
method.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net
assets associated with acquisition transactions. Through 2001, the Company amortized goodwill related to
acquisitions  prior  to  July  1,  2001  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  15  years  and  identifiable  intangibles  on  a

impairments.  If  such 

impairments  were 

In  June  2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  (‘‘SFAS’’)  No.  141  (‘‘SFAS  No.  141’’),  ‘‘Business  Combinations’’,  and  SFAS  No.  142  (‘‘SFAS
No. 142’’), ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.’’ SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting  be  used  for  all  business  combinations  initiated  after  June  30,  2001  as  well  as  all  purchase
method  business  combinations  completed  after  June  30,  2001.  SFAS  No.  141  also  specifies  criteria  that
intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  purchase  method  business  combination  must  meet  to  be  recognized  and
reported  apart  from  goodwill.  SFAS  No.  142  requires  that  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  with  indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with
the provisions in SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No 144, ‘‘Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets’’.

On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 and certain provisions of SFAS 142
as  required  for  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  resulting  from  business  combinations  consummated  after
June 30, 2001.

The  Company  fully  adopted  the  remaining  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  142  as  of  January  1,  2002  and
discontinued amortizing goodwill relating to business combinations consummated before July 1, 2001. As
of  the  date  of  the  adoption,  the  Company  had  unamortized  goodwill  in  the  amount  of  $69,639,000  and
unamortized  identifiable  intangible  assets  in  the  amount  of  $21,978,000.  The  Company  evaluated  its
existing  intangible  assets  and  goodwill  that  were  acquired  in  prior  purchase  business  combinations  and
determined that no reclassifications were necessary in order to conform with the new classification criteria
in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. The Company reassessed the useful lives and residual
values  of  all  intangible  assets  acquired  in  purchase  business  combinations  and  determined  that  no
amortization adjustments were necessary and no intangible  assets had  indefinite lives.

As of January 1, 2002, the Company performed an assessment of whether there was an indication that
goodwill  was  impaired.  The  Company  concluded  that  it  was  probable  that  the  goodwill  related  to  its
investment  services  reporting  unit  was  impaired.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  was  $7,893,000  or
$5,130,000, net of tax, which has been reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle,
net  of  tax  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.  The  fair  value  of  the  investment  services  unit  was
estimated  using  a  combination  of  capitalized  cash  flows,  discounted  cash  flows  and  multiples  based  on
publicly traded companies’ market capitalization to sales.

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 147 (‘‘SFAS No. 147’’),
‘‘Acquisitions  of  Certain  Financial  Institutions,  an  amendment  of  FASB  Statements  No  72  and  144  and
FASB Interpretation No. 9’’. SFAS No. 72 required that in acquisitions of financial institutions, any excess
of  the  fair  value  of  liabilities  assumed  over  the  fair  value  of  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  be
accounted for as an unidentifiable intangible asset and subsequently amortized. SFAS No. 72 unidentified
intangible assets were excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. Except for transactions
between two or more mutual companies, SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions from
the  scope  of  SFAS  No.  72  and  FASB  Interpretation  No.  9  and  requires  that  those  transactions  be
accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 was effective October 1,

41

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

2002 and requires that if the transaction that gave rise to the unidentified intangible asset was a business
combination, the carrying amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the date of
acquisition or the date of the full application of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 147 also requires that any interim
or annual financial statements that reflect the amortization of the unidentified intangible asset subsequent
to the full application of SFAS 142 shall be restated to remove that amortization expense. The Company
adopted  SFAS  No.  147  as  of  October  1,  2002.  Upon  the  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  147,  the  Company
reclassified $10,487,000 from intangible assets to goodwill and reversed $792,000 of amortization expense
recognized during 2002 related to the SFAS 72 unidentified  intangible asset.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  ‘‘Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
Long-Lived Assets,’’ which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived  assets.  While  SFAS  No.  144  supercedes  SFAS  No.  121,  ‘‘Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to  Be  Disposed  Of,’’  it  retains  many  of  the  fundamental
provisions of SFAS No 121, establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale, and resolves certain implementation issues not previously addressed by SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144
also supercedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion
No. 30, (‘‘Opinion No. 30’’) ‘‘Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,’’
for the disposal of a segment of a business; however, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report
separately  discontinued  operations  and  extends  the  reporting  to  a  component  of  an  entity,  rather  than  a
segment  of  a  business,  that  either  has  been  disposed  of  or  is  classified  as  held  for  sale.  SFAS  No.  144  is
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2001.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  144  on
January  1,  2002.  The  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  144  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated
financial  statements.  In  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  144,  long-lived  assets,  such  as  property,  plant  and
equipment,  and  purchased  intangibles  subject  to  amortization,  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset
to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value
of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by
which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less
costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held
for  sale  would  be  presented  separately  in  the  appropriate  asset  and  liability  sections  of  the  statement  of
condition.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For  purposes  of  the  consolidated  statements  of  cash  flows,  the  Company  considers  all  short-term
investments with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Also, the
Company reports transactions related to deposits with other financial institutions, customer time deposits
and  loans to customers on a net basis.

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing  of Financial Assets

The Company accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
based on the application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. After a transfer of
financial assets, the Company recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has
incurred,  derecognizes  financial  assets  when  control  has  been  surrendered  and  derecognizes  liabilities
when extinguished.

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

The  Company  operates  as  one  segment.  The  operating  information  used  by  the  Company’s  chief
executive  officer  for  purposes  of  assessing  performance  and  making  operating  decisions  about  the
Company is the consolidated statements presented in this report. The Company has four active operating
subsidiaries, namely, the bank subsidiaries, otherwise known as International Bank of Commerce, Laredo,
Commerce  Bank,  International  Bank  of  Commerce,  Zapata  and  International  Bank  of  Commerce,
Brownsville.  The  Company  applies  the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  131,  ‘‘Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an
Enterprise  and  Related  Information,’’  in  determining  its  reportable  segments  and  related  disclosures.
None of the Company’s other subsidiaries meets the 10% threshold for  disclosure  under SFAS No.  131.

Derivative Instruments

The Company currently does not directly engage in hedging activities and does not directly hold any
derivative instruments or embedded derivatives. However, the Company’s equity method investee, Aircraft
Finance Trust (‘‘AFT’’), uses derivative instruments to manage the interest rate on the bonds that AFT has
issued.  The  derivative  instruments  qualify  as  cash  flow  hedges  under  the  provisions  of  SFAS  133,
‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’’ and as such, the Company’s proportionate
share  of  changes  in  fair  value  of  the  derivative  instruments  are  included  in  comprehensive  income  and
accumulated other comprehensive income,  net of  tax.

Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements  for Guarantees

In  November  2002,  the  FASB  issued  FASB  Interpretation  No.  45  (‘‘FIN  45’’),  ‘‘Guarantor’s
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness
of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation
No. 34.’’ FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements  about  its  obligations  under  certain  guarantees  that  it  has  issued.  This  Interpretation  also
incorporates, without change, the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 34
(‘‘FIN 34’’), ‘‘Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,’’ which has been superceded.
FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for
the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligations to stand ready
to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions
occur.  The  initial  recognition  and  initial  measurement  provisions  of  FIN  45  were  applicable  on  a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s
fiscal  year-end.  The  disclosure  requirements  were  effective  for  financial  statements  of  interim  or  annual
periods  ending  after  December  15,  2002,  and  are  included  in  the  notes  to  the  Company’s  consolidated
financial  statements.  The  adoption  of  FIN  45  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain  amounts  in  the  prior  year’s  presentations  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current

presentation. These reclassifications have no effect  on previously reported net  income.

New Accounting Standards

In  May  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  No.  150,  (‘‘SFAS  No.  150’’),
‘‘Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.’’ SFAS
No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that
an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances. Such
financial  instruments  include  (i)  financial  instruments  that  are  issued  in  the  form  of  shares  that  are
mandatorily  redeemable;  (ii)  financial  instruments  that  embody  an  obligation  to  repurchase  the  issuer’s
equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by
transferring  assets;  (iii)  financial  instruments  that  embody  an  obligation  that  the  issuer  may  settle  by
issuing  a  variable  number  of  its  equity  shares  if,  at  inception,  the  monetary  value  of  the  obligation  is
predominantly  based  on  a  fixed  amount,  variations  in  something  other  than  the  fair  value  of  the  issuer’s
equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; and
(iv) certain freestanding financial instruments. SFAS No. 150 was originally effective for contracts entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. At its October 29, 2003, meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
decided  to  defer  the  effective  date  of  SFAS  No.  150,  as  it  relates  to  classification  and  measurement
requirements for manditorily redeemable financial instruments that become subject to SFAS No. 150 solely
as a result of consolidation. Adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 150 on July 1, 2003 did not
have  an impact on the Company’s consolidated  financial statements.

In  April  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  No.  149,  (‘‘SFAS  No.  149’’),
‘‘Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.’’ SFAS No. 149 amends
SFAS  No.  133,  ‘‘Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities’’  and  clarifies  financial
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other  contracts  and  for  hedging  activities.  SFAS  No.  149  improves  financial  reporting  by  requiring  that
contracts  with  comparable  characteristics  to  be  accounted  for  similarly.  In  particular,  SFAS  No.  149
clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investments meets the characteristics of a
derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of underlying
to conform to the language in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, and amends
certain  other  existing  pronouncements.  SFAS  No.  149  is  effective  for  contracts  entered  into  or  modified
after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003; however, the provisions of
SFAS  No.  149  that  relate  to  SFAS  No.  133  implementation  issues  that  have  been  effective  for  fiscal
quarters  that  began  prior  to  June  15,  2003,  should  continue  to  be  applied  in  accordance  with  their
respective  effective  dates.  The  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  149  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  123R,  (‘‘SFAS  No.  123R’’),  ‘‘Share-Based  Payment,  an  Amendment  of
Statements  No.  123  and  95.’’  The  revision  to  the  existing  SFAS  No.  123  eliminates  the  ability  of  public
companies  to  account  for  stock-based  compensation  using  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25

44

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

(‘‘APB 25’’), ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issues to Employees’’ and requires such transactions be recognized as
compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the
options issued as of their grant date. Companies transitioning to the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based  compensation  are  required  to  do  so  under  the  ‘‘modified  prospective  method.’’  Under  this
transitional  method,  SFAS  No.  123R  applies  to  new  awards  and  to  awards  modified,  repurchased,  or
cancelled after the required effective date. Compensation expense for that portion of existing options for
which  the  requisite  service  period  has  not  been  met  and  are  still  outstanding,  shall  be  recognized  as  the
service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for those awards shall be
based on the fair value on the grant date of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma
disclosures  under  SFAS  No.  123.  SFAS  No.  123R  would  be  effective  for  the  Company  for  interim  and
reporting  periods  after  June  15,  2005.  Based  on  the  stock-based  compensation  awards  outstanding  as  of
December 31, 2004 for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to July 1, 2005,
the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax quarterly compensation cost of $97,000 beginning in
the third quarter of 2005 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Future levels of compensation cost
recognized  related  to  stock-based  compensation  awards  (including  the  aforementioned  expected  costs
during  the  period  of  adoption)  may  be  impacted  by  new  awards  and/or  modifications,  repurchases  and
cancellations of existing awards before and after  the adoption of SFAS  No. 123R.

In  December  2003,  the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  issued  Statement  of
Position  03-3  (‘‘SOP  03-3’’),  ‘‘Accounting  for  Certain  Loans  or  Debt  Securities  Acquired  in  a  Transfer.’’
SOP  03-3  addresses  accounting  for  differences  between  the  contractual  cash  flows  of  certain  loans  and
debt securities and the cash flows expected to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a
transfer  and  those  cash  flow  differences  are  attributable,  at  least  in  part,  to  credit  quality.  As  such,
SOP  03-3  applies  to  loans  and  debt  securities  acquired  individually,  in  pools  or  as  part  of  a  business
combination  and  does  not  apply  to  originated  loans.  The  application  of  SOP  03-3  limits  the  interest
income, including the accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans and
debt securities. Additionally, SOP 03-3 does not allow the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows
expected  to  be  collected  to  be  recognized  as  an  adjustment  of  yield,  loss  accrual  or  valuation  allowance,
such  as  the  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses.  SOP  03-3  requires  that  increases  in  expected  cash  flows
subsequent  to  the  initial  investment  be  recognized  prospectively  through  adjustment  of  the  yield  on  the
loan  or  debt  security  over  its  remaining  life.  Decreases  in  expected  cash  flows  should  be  recognized  as
impairment. In the case of loans acquired in a business combination where the loans show signs of credit
deterioration,  SOP  03-3  represents  a  significant  change  from  current  purchase  accounting  practice
whereby  the  acquiree’s  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  typically  added  to  the  acquirer’s  allowance  for  loan
losses. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired by the Company beginning January 1,
2005.  The  adoption  of  this  new  standard  is  not  expected  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s
consolidated  financial  statements.

In December 2003, SFAS No. 132, ‘‘Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits,’’ was issued. SFAS No. 132 (revised) prescribes employers’ disclosures about pension plans and
other postretirement benefit plans; it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. The
Statement  revises  the  disclosure  requirements  contained  in  the  original  SFAS  No.  132.  It  also  requires
additional  disclosures  about  the  assets,  obligations,  cash  flows,  and  net  periodic  benefit  cost  of  defined
benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The Statement generally is effective for fiscal
years  ending  after  December  15,  2003.  The  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  132  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  January  2003,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  FASB  Interpretation  No.  46
(‘‘FIN 46’’), ‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.’’ The intention
of FIN 46 was to clarify the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, ‘‘Consolidated Financial
Statements,’’  to  certain  entities  in  which  equity  investors  do  not  have  the  characteristics  of  a  controlling
financial  interest  or  do  not  have  sufficient  equity  at  risk  for  the  entity  to  finance  its  activities  without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires an enterprise considered to
be a variable interest entity (‘‘VIE’’), to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the
enterprise that will absorb the majority of the VIE’s expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the
VIE’s  residual  returns  if  they  occur,  or  both.  In  December  2003,  the  FASB  issued  Staff  Interpretation
No. 46R (‘‘FIN 46R’’), ‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB 51 (revised
December  2003),’’  which  replaces  FIN  46,  in  order  to  clarify  the  guidance  in  the  original  interpretation.
FIN  46  applies  to  variable  interest  entities  created  after  January  31,  2003.  FIN  46  also  applies  to  all
variable  interest  entities  created  prior  to  February  1,  2003  that  are  considered  to  be  special-purpose
entities, as defined in FIN 46R, as of December 31, 2003. FIN 46R must be applied to all variable interest
entities no later than the end of the  first reporting period that  ends after March 15, 2004.

The  Company  early  adopted  FIN  46R  in  connection  with  its  consolidated  financial  statements  as  of
December 31, 2003. The implementation of FIN 46R requires the Company to de-consolidate the statutory
business trusts formed for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2003.

(2) Acquisition

On June 18, 2004, the Company acquired Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’), an Oklahoma based
bank holding company with approximately $3.0 billion in assets. The acquisition was effected pursuant to
the  Agreement  and  Plan  of  Merger  dated  as  of  January  22,  2004  (the  ‘‘Merger  Agreement’’).  The
Company  paid  consideration  totaling  approximately  $276.6  million  in  cash  and  2.11  million  shares  of
Company common stock. The aggregate purchase price was $367.4 million. Under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, LFIN shareholders were entitled to elect to receive either cash or Company common stock in
the  merger,  subject  to  the  requirement  that  75%  of  LFIN’s  shares  be  exchanged  for  cash  and  25%  be
exchanged for Company common stock. Based on the elections of LFIN shareholders and the terms of the
Merger  Agreement,  LFIN  shares  held  by  LFIN  shareholders  who  elected  to  receive  shares  of  Company
common stock in the Merger and LFIN shareholders who did not timely make a cash/stock election were
exchanged entirely for shares of Company common stock. As to those LFIN shares for which an election to
receive cash was timely made, each such share was exchanged for approximately $20.59 in cash and 0.033
shares  of  Company  common  stock.  The  exchange  rate  for  those  LFIN  shareholders  receiving  Company
common stock in the Merger was 0.5170  shares of Company common  stock for  each  share of LFIN.

The  unrealized  losses  on  investments  in  mortgage-backed  securities  and  U.S.  treasury  securities  are
caused  by  changes  in  market  interest  rates.  The  contractual  cash  obligations  of  the  securities  are
guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the U.S. Treasury. The decrease in fair value is
due to market interest rates and not other factors, and because the Company has the ability to hold these
investments until a market price recovery, maturity of the securities, or a modification of the Company’s
investment  strategy,  it  is  the  conclusion  of  the  Company  that  the  investments  are  not  considered
other-than-temporarily impaired.

The  unrealized  losses  on  investments  in  obligations  of  state  and  political  subdivisions  and  other
securities  are  caused  by  fluctuations  in  market  interest  rates.  The  underlying  cash  obligations  of  the
securities are guaranteed by the municipality or entity underwriting the debt instrument. It is the belief of
the Company that the municipality or entity issuing the debt will honor its interest payment schedule, as
well as the full debt at maturity. The securities are purchased by the Company for their economic value.
The decrease in fair value is primarily due to market interest rates and not other factors, and because the

Loans  accounted  for  on  a  non-accrual  basis  at  December  31,  2004,  2003  and  2002  amounted  to
$30,773,000,  $20,960,000  and  $3,649,000,  respectively.  The  effect  of  such  non-accrual  loans  reduced
interest income by $1,203,000, $1,870,000 and $567,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. Amounts received on non-accruals are applied, for financial accounting purposes, first
to principal and then to interest after  all principal has been collected.

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

(5) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (Continued)

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

The following table details key information regarding the Company’s impaired  loans:

commercial  loans,  which  have  not  been  fully  charged  off.  The  average  recorded  investment  in  impaired
loans was $34,226,000, $13,090,000, and $4,289,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.  The  increase  in  impaired  loans  can  be  attributed  to  the  LFIN  acquisition.  The  interest
recognized on impaired loans was not  significant.

Management  of  the  Company  recognizes  the  risks  associated  with  these  impaired  loans.  However,

management’s decision to place loans in this category  does not necessarily mean that losses  will  occur.

The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a
loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a ‘‘loss’’ by bank examiners. Commercial
and industrial or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or
part, when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the
loss portion is anticipated based on the borrower’s financial condition and general economic conditions in
the borrower’s industry. Generally, unsecured  consumer loans are charged-off  when 90  days past due.

While  management  of  the  Company  considers  that  it  is  generally  able  to  identify  borrowers  with
financial problems reasonably early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no
precise method of predicting loan losses. The determination that a loan is likely to be un-collectible and
that  it  should  be  wholly  or  partially  charged-off  as  a  loss  is  an  exercise  of  judgment.  Similarly,  the
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses can be made only on a subjective
basis.  It  is  the  judgment  of  the  Company’s  management  that  the  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  at
December 31, 2004 was adequate to  absorb probable  losses  from loans in the portfolio at that date.

(11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable  Interest Debentures

The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for
the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. As part of the LFIN acquisition, the Company acquired
three  additional  statutory  business  trusts  previously  formed  by  LFIN  for  the  purpose  of  issuing  trust
preferred  securities.  The  eight  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.  The  Company  has  succeeded  to  the
obligations  of  LFIN  under  the  LFIN  Debentures,  which  have  an  outstanding  principal  balance  of
$62,115,000. The Debentures will mature on various dates; however the Debentures may be redeemed at
specified  prepayment  prices,  in  whole  or  in  part  after  the  optional  redemption  dates  specified  in  the
respective indentures or in whole upon the occurrence of any one of certain legal, regulatory or tax events
specified  in  respective  indentures.  As  of  December  31,  2004,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures
outstanding totaled $235,395,000.

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 Trusts I through IV and LFIN Trust II and
for  up  to  twenty  consecutive  quarterly  periods  on  Trusts  V  through  VIII  and  LFIN  Trusts  I  and  III.  If
interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common

58

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable  Interest Debentures (Continued)

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 non-banking subsidiaries of the Company
and  consolidated  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  prior  to  December  31,  2003.  Since  the
Company’s  adoption  of  FIN  46R  on  December  31,  2003,  the  Trusts  are  treated  as  investments  of  the
Company  and  not  consolidated  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Although  the  Capital  Securities
issued by each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated
statement  of  condition,  the  Capital  Securities  are  treated  as  capital  for  regulatory  purposes.  Specifically,
under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital
up  to  a  maximum  of  25%  of  Tier  1  capital  on  an  aggregate  basis.  Any  amount  that  exceeds  the  25%
threshold  would  qualify  as  Tier  2  capital.  For  December  31,  2004,  the  total  $235,395,000  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  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.

deconsolidated  the  eight  statutory  business  trusts  and  as  a  result  the  Debentures  issued  by  the  trust  are
reported in a separate line item, ‘‘Junior subordinated deferrable interest  debentures.’’

(12) Earnings per Share

Basic  EPS  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding.  The  computation  of  diluted  EPS  assumes  the  issuance  of  common  shares  for  all  dilutive
potential  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  reporting  period.  The  calculation  of  the  basic  EPS  and
the diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 is set forth in the following table:

(13) Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a deferred profit sharing plan for full-time employees with a minimum of one year
of continuous employment. The Company’s annual contribution to the plan is based on a percentage, as
determined by the Board of Directors, of income before income taxes, as defined, for the year. Allocation
of the contribution among officers and employees’ accounts is based on length of service and amount of
salary earned. Profit sharing costs of $3,823,000, $2,897,000 and $2,662,000 were charged to income for the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,  respectively.

(14) International Operations

The Company provides international banking services for its customers through its bank subsidiaries.
Neither  the  Company  nor  its  bank  subsidiaries  have  facilities  located  outside  the  United  States.
International  operations  are  distinguished  from  domestic  operations  based  upon  the  domicile  of  the
customer.

Because  the  resources  employed  by  the  Company  are  common  to  both  international  and  domestic
operations, it is not practical to determine net income generated exclusively from international activities.

A  summary  of  assets  attributable  to  international  operations  at  December  31,  2004  and  2003  are  as

follows:

At December 31, 2004, the Company had $95,657,000 in outstanding standby and commercial letters
of  credit  to  facilitate  trade  activities.  The  letters  of  credit  are  issued  primarily  in  conjunction  with  credit
facilities, which are available to various  Mexican  banks doing business with the  Company.

Revenues  directly  attributable  to  international  operations  was  $11,077,000,  $11,626,000  and

$14,128,000 for the years ended December 31,  2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(15) Income Taxes (Continued)

As  part  of  the  Local  Financial  Corporation  acquisition,  the  Company  assumed  $2,206,381  in  net

deferred tax assets.

The  valuation  allowance  included  in  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  assets  at  December  31,  2004,
represent state net operating loss carryforwards for which it is more likely than not that realization of the
tax  benefits  related  to  the  losses  will  occur.  The  state  operating  losses  were  acquired  as  part  of  various
deferred tax items in the LFIN acquisition.

(16) Other Investments

Included  in  other  investments  is  the  Company’s  investment  in  Aircraft  Finance  Trust  (‘‘AFT’’),  a
special  purpose  business  trust  formed  to  acquire  and  lease  aircraft.  The  Company  accounts  for  its
investment in AFT under the equity method of accounting. AFT utilizes derivative instruments to manage
the interest rate on bonds that it has issued. The derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges and are reported at
fair value. The Company records its proportionate share of the fair value of the derivatives as an increase
or decrease in the investment in AFT and accumulated other comprehensive income, net of  tax.

The Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses of AFT were losses of $0 and $948,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Because of the losses from operations that AFT
has reported as a result of the events of September 11 and the resulting impact on the airline industry, the
Company  evaluated  its  investment,  which  resulted  in  the  Company  recording  an  impairment  charge  of
$6,081,000 in 2002.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s investment in AFT, excluding its proportionate share
of  the  fair  value  of  the  AFT  derivatives  was  $0.  The  Company’s  investment  including  the  proportionate
share of the fair value of the AFT derivatives at December  31, 2004 and  2003,  was $0.

(17) Stock Options

On  April  3,  1996,  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  1996  International  Bancshares  Corporation
Stock  Option  Plan  (the  ‘‘1996  Plan’’).  The  1996  Plan  replaced  the  1987  International  Bancshares
Corporation  Key  Contributor  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  ‘‘1987  Plan’’).  On  April  5,  2001,  the  Board  of
Directors amended the 1996 plan and added 300,000 shares to the plan. Under the 1987 Plan and the 1996
Plan  both  qualified  incentive  stock  options  (‘‘ISOs’’)  and  nonqualified  stock  options  (‘‘NQSOs’’)  may  be
granted.  Options  granted  may  be  exercisable  for  a  period  of  up  to  10  years  from  the  date  of  grant,
excluding  ISOs  granted  to  10%  shareholders,  which  may  be  exercisable  for  a  period  of  up  to  only  five
years.

The  Company  granted  nonqualified  stock  options  exercisable  for  a  total  of  139,160  shares,  adjusted
for stock dividends, of Common Stock to certain employees of the GulfStar Group. The grants were not
made under either the 1987 Plan or the 1996 Plan. The options are exercisable for a period of seven years
and  vest  in  equal  increments  over  a  period  of  five  years.  All  options  granted  to  the  GulfStar  Group
employees had an option price of not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on or about the
date of grant.

The  Company  has  a  formal  stock  repurchase  program  and  as  part  of  the  program,  the  Company
occasionally  repurchases  shares  of  Common  Stock  related  to  the  exercise  of  stock  options  through  the
surrender of other shares of Common Stock of  the Company owned by  the option  holders.

(18) Commitments, 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 material loss in such actions,
individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  is  remote  or  the  damages  sought,  even  if  fully  recovered,  would  not  be
considered  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of  operations  of  the  Company.
However, many of these matters are in various stages of proceedings and further developments could cause
management to revise its assessment of  these matters.

The  Company  leases  portions  of  its  banking  premises  and  equipment  under  operating  leases.  Total
rental  expense  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2003  and  2002  and  non-cancellable  lease
commitments at December 31, 2004  were not significant.

Cash of approximately $50,411,000 and $35,865,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, was

maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve  requirements.

The  Company’s  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
$13,640,797, which constitutes the interest that would have accrued based on the adjustments proposed in
the  FPAAs  related  to  both  of  the  lease-financing  transactions.  If  it  is  determined  that  the  amount  of

65

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(18) Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and  Other  Tax Matters (Continued)

interest due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than the $13,640,797, the remaining
amount of the prepaid interest will be refunded to the  Company, plus interest thereon.

No reliable prediction can be made at this time as to the likely outcome of the lawsuits; however, if the
lawsuits  are  decided  adversely  to  the  partnerships,  all  or  a  portion  of  the  $12  million  in  tax  benefits
previously  recognized  by  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  Partnerships’  lease-financing  transactions
would be in question and penalties and interest could be assessed by the IRS. The Company has accrued
approximately $12 million at December 31, 2004 in connection with the lawsuits. Management intends to
continue to evaluate the merits of each matter and make appropriate revisions to the accrued amount as
deemed necessary.

As  part  of  the  LFIN  acquisition,  the  Company  acquired  two  tax  matters.  The  first  relates  to
deductions  taken  on  amended  returns  filed  by  LFIN  during  2003  for  the  tax  years  ended  June  30,  1999
through December 31, 2001. The refunds requested on the amended returns amounted to approximately
$7,000,000.  At  December  31,  2003,  LFIN  had  received  approximately  $2,000,000  of  the  total  refund
requested. Because all the refunds are under review by the IRS, LFIN had established a reserve equal to
the  $2,000,000  received  and  did  not  recognize  any  benefit  for  the  remaining  $5,000,000.  The  second  tax
contingency, which is also approximately $7,000,000, relates to permanent differences applicable to prior
periods taken as deductions in 2002 and was received by LFIN during 2003. LFIN had recorded a reserve
equal  to  the  amounts  received  pending  final  resolution  with  the  IRS.  Both  reserves  are  included  in  the
current  income taxes payable of the Company. The Company will  continue to monitor  the IRS reviews.

(19) Transactions with Related Parties

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  make  loans  to  directors  and
executive officers of the Corporation, including their affiliates, families and companies in which they are
principal  owners.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these  loans  are  made  on  substantially  the  same  terms,
including  interest  rates  and  collateral,  as  those  prevailing  at  the  time  for  comparable  transactions  with
other  persons  and  do  not  involve  more  than  normal  risk  of  collectibility  or  present  other  unfavorable
features.  The  aggregate  amounts  receivable  from  such  related  parties  amounted  to  approximately
$56,211,000 and $48,431,000 at December  31, 2004 and  2003,  respectively.

(20) Financial  Instruments with Off-Statement  of  Condition Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  bank  subsidiaries  are  party  to  financial  instruments  with
off-statement of condition risk to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments
include commitments to their customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements
of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of condition. The contract
amounts  of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  bank  subsidiaries  have  in  particular
classes  of  financial  instruments.  At  December  31,  2004,  the  following  financial  amounts  of  instruments,
whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding:

(20) Financial  Instruments with Off-Statement  of  Condition Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk
(Continued)

The Company enters into a standby letter of credit to guarantee performance of a customer to a third
party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The
credit  risk  involved  is  represented  by  the  contractual  amounts  of  those  instruments.  Under  the  standby
letters of credit, the Company is required to make payments to the beneficiary of the letters of credit upon
request by the beneficiary so long as all performance criteria have been met. At December 31, 2004, the
maximum  potential  amount  of  future  payments  is  $91,171,000.  At  December  31,  2004,  the  fair  value  of
these guarantees is not significant.

The  Company  enters  into  commercial  letters  of  credit  on  behalf  of  its  customers  which  authorize  a
third  party  to  draw  drafts  on  the  Company  up  to  a  stipulated  amount  and  with  specific  terms  and
conditions.  A  commercial  letter  of  credit  is  a  conditional  commitment  on  the  part  of  the  Company  to
provide payment on drafts drawn in accordance with the terms of the commercial letter of credit.

The bank subsidiaries’ exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
above  financial  instruments  is  represented  by  the  contractual  amounts  of  the  instruments.  The  bank
subsidiaries use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for
on-statement of condition instruments. The bank subsidiaries control the credit risk of these transactions
through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Commitments to extend credit are agreements
to  lend  to  a  customer  as  long  as  there  is  no  violation  of  any  condition  established  in  the  contract.
Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  normally  less  than  one  year  or  other  termination
clauses  and  may  require  the  payment  of  a  fee.  Since  many  of  the  commitments  are  expected  to  expire
without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash
requirements.  The  bank  subsidiaries  evaluate  each  customer’s  credit-worthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis.
The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the subsidiary banks upon extension of credit, is
based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  customer.  Collateral  held  varies,  but  may  include
residential and commercial real estate, bank certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and inventory.

The  bank  subsidiaries  make  commercial,  real  estate  and  consumer  loans  to  customers  principally
located in South, Central and Southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma. Although the loan portfolio is
diversified,  a  substantial  portion  of  its  debtors’  ability  to  honor  their  contracts  is  dependent  upon  the
economic conditions in these areas, especially  in the real estate and commercial business sectors.

(21) Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements

Bank  regulatory  agencies  limit  the  amount  of  dividends,  which  the  bank  subsidiaries  can  pay  the
Corporation,  through  IBC  Subsidiary  Corporation,  without  obtaining  prior  approval  from  such  agencies.
At  December  31,  2004,  the  subsidiary  banks  could  pay  dividends  of  up  to  $61,000,000  to  the  Company
without  prior  regulatory  approval  and  without  adversely  affecting  their  ‘‘well  capitalized’’  status.  In
addition to legal requirements, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the bank subsidiaries’
total capital in relation to their deposits and other factors. These capital adequacy considerations also limit
amounts available for payment of dividends. The Company historically has not allowed any subsidiary bank
to pay dividends in such a manner as to impair its capital adequacy.

The  Company  and  the  bank  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
certain  mandatory  and  possibly  additional  discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could
have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy

67

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(21) Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements (Continued)

guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Company  must  meet  specific
capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative  measures  of  the  Company’s  assets,  liabilities,  and  certain
off-statement  of  condition  items  as  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Company’s
capital  amounts  and  classification  are  also  subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the  regulators  about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to
maintain  minimum  amounts  and  ratios  (set  forth  in  the  table  on  the  following  page)  of  Total  and  Tier  1
capital  to  risk-weighted  assets  and  of  Tier  1  capital  to  average  assets.  Management  believes,  as  of
December  31,  2004,  that  the  Company  and  each  of  the  bank  subsidiaries  met  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

As  of  December  31,  2004,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  categorized  all  the  bank  subsidiaries  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as ‘‘well capitalized’’ the Company and the bank subsidiaries
must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
categorization of the Company or any of the bank  subsidiaries  as well  capitalized.

(22) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The  fair  value  estimates,  methods,  and  assumptions  for  the  Company’s  financial  instruments  at

December 31, 2004 and 2003 are outlined below.

Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds  Sold

For these short-term instruments, the carrying  amount  is a reasonable estimate of fair  value.

Time Deposits with Banks

As  the  contract  interest  rates  are  comparable  to  current  market  rates,  the  carrying  amount

approximates fair market value.

70

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(22) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Investment Securities

For  investment  securities,  which  include  U.  S.  Treasury  securities,  obligations  of  other  U.  S.
government  agencies,  obligations  of  states  and  political  subdivisions  and  mortgage  pass  through  and
related securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Fair values are based on
the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of
ownership  of  a  financial  instrument,  possible  tax  ramifications,  or  estimated  transaction  costs.  See
disclosures of fair value of investment securities in Note  3.

Loans

Fair  values  are  estimated  for  portfolios  of  loans  with  similar  financial  characteristics.  Loans  are
segregated by type such as commercial, real estate and consumer loans as outlined by regulatory reporting
guidelines. Each category is segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms and by performing and
non-performing categories.

For  variable  rate  performing  loans,  the  carrying  amount  approximates  the  fair  value.  For  fixed  rate
performing loans, except residential mortgage loans, the fair value is calculated by discounting scheduled
cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and
interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For performing residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by
discounting  contractual  cash  flows  adjusted  for  prepayment  estimates  using  discount  rates  based  on
secondary market sources or the primary origination market. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying
amount of fixed rate performing loans was $1,681,916,000 and $765,458,000 respectively, and the estimated
fair value was $1,679,719,000 and $775,280,000, respectively.

Fair value for significant non-performing loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are
not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with
the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally
determined using available market and specific borrower information. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
the net carrying amount of non-performing loans  was  a  reasonable estimate of the fair  value.

Deposits

The  fair  value  of  deposits  with  no  stated  maturity,  such  as  non-interest  bearing  demand  deposit
accounts, savings accounts and interest bearing demand deposit accounts, was equal to the amount payable
on demand as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted
value  of  contractual  cash  flows.  The  discount  rate  is  based  on  currently  offered  rates.  At  December  31,
2004 and 2003, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,188,003,000 and $2,225,611,000, respectively,
and  the estimated fair value was $3,197,198,000 and $2,211,589,000, respectively.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under  Repurchase Agreements and  Other  Borrowed

Funds

Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair

value at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

71

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(22) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest  Debentures

Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair

value at December 31, 2004.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit

Commitments to extend credit and fund letters of credit are principally at current interest rates and

therefore the carrying amount approximates fair  value.

Limitations

Fair  value  estimates  are  made  at  a  point  in  time,  based  on  relevant  market  information  and
information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
could  result  from  offering  for  sale  at  one  time  the  Company’s  entire  holdings  of  a  particular  financial
instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair
value  estimates  are  based  on  judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss  experience,  current  economic
conditions,  risk  characteristics  of  various  financial  instruments  and  other  factors.  These  estimates  are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in  assumptions could significantly  affect  the estimates.

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  existing  on-and  off-statement  of  condition  financial  instruments
without  attempting  to  estimate  the  value  of  anticipated  future  business  and  the  value  of  assets  and
liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not
considered financial assets or liabilities include the bank premises and equipment and core deposit value.
In addition, the tax ramifications related to the effect of fair value estimates have not been considered in
the above estimates.
