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, 2005,  2004, 2003 and 2002 are the same as actual  numbers.

Note 2: See note 1 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.

Note  3:  Per  share  information  has  been  re-stated  giving  retroactive  effect  to  stock  dividends

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,
2005.  The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  and  the  Selected  Financial  Data  and  Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

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 based on
current  expectations,  are  inherently  uncertain,  are  subject  to  risks  and  should  be  viewed  with  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 200 facilities and more than
300  ATMs,  provides  banking  services  for  commercial,  consumer  and  international  customers  of  South,
Central and Southeast Texas and the State of Oklahoma. The Company is one of the largest independent
commercial bank holding companies headquartered in Texas. The Company, through its bank subsidiaries,
is  in  the  business  of  gathering  funds  from  various  sources  and  investing  those  funds  in  order  to  earn  a
return. The Company either directly or through a bank subsidiary owns two insurance agencies, a broker/
dealer  and  a  majority  interest  in  an  investment  banking  unit  that  owns  a  broker/dealer.  The  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,  2005  was
17.97% as compared to 18.17% for the year ended  December  31, 2004.

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

Expense control is an 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 55% for each
of the last five years, which the Company’s review indicates is better than average compared to its national
peer group. The Company’s efficiency ratio has increased over the last few years because of the Company’s
aggressive  branch  expansion  which  have  added  30  branches  during  2005  alone.  During  rapid  expansion
periods,  the  Company’s  efficiency  ratio  will  suffer  but  the  long  term  benefits  of  the  expansion  should  be
realized in future periods and the benefits should positively impact the efficiency ratio in future periods.

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
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  increased  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005  as  compared  to  the  year  ended
December  31,  2004  primarily  because  of  the  full  integration  of  the  Company’s  acquisition  of  Local
Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’), improved results in its Texas operations, and the efficiencies created by
the operations of the combined companies. Net income was positively impacted by $5,613,000, net of tax,
of  distributions  received  in  the  first  and  second  quarter  of  2005  from  the  January  2005  merger  of  the
PULSE EFT Association with Discover Financial Services, a business unit of Morgan Stanley. Members of
the PULSE EFT Association received these distributions based in part upon their volume of transactions
through the PULSE network. 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

4

equity that was eroding in the portfolio due to rapid principal repayments. The Company recorded losses
on  the  portfolio  of  $118,000,  net  of  tax  in  2005  compared  to  gains  of  $5,775,000,  net  of  tax  in  2004  and
$15,204,000 net of tax in 2003. Net income for 2005 and 2004 has been negatively affected by the aggressive
de  novo  branching  activity  by  the  Company.  The  Company  has  added  30  new  branches  in  2005  and  17
branches in 2004. The new branches do not include the 52 branches the Company acquired as a result of
the LFIN acquisition. The Company believes the branching activity is necessary to expand the Company’s
footprint  in  its  markets  and  build  future  value;  however,  the  Company  realizes  that  net  income  will  be
negatively  affected  in  periods  of  rapid  expansion  because  of  the  period  it  takes  to  make  the  branches
profitable.  Additionally,  as  part  of  the  LFIN  acquisition,  the  Company  decided  to  exit  certain  national
lending strategies that LFIN employed. As a result, the Company’s total loans have decreased from 2004 to
2005.  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 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
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, 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  2005  and  2004,  as  short  term  interest  rates  began  to  increase,  the  Company  accordingly
increased  interest  rates  on  loans  and  deposits.  The  level  of  interest  rates  and  the  volume  and  mix  of
earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  impact  net  income  and  net  interest  margin.  The  yield  on
average interest earning assets increased 14.8% from 4.87% in 2004 to 5.59% in 2005, and the rates paid
on average interest bearing liabilities increased 49.7% from 1.69% in 2004 to 2.53% in 2005. 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 Company’s
yield on investment securities increased .34% from 2004 to 2005 during a period of numerous interest rate
increases.  The  majority  of  the  Company’s  taxable  investment  securities  are  invested  in  mortgage  backed
securities  and  during  rapid  increases  or  reduction  in  interest  rates,  the  yield  on  these  securities  do  not
re-price as quickly as the loans do.

The following table analyzes the changes in net interest income during 2005 and 2004 and the relative
effect of changes in interest rates and volumes for each major classification of interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Nonaccrual loans have been included in assets for the purpose of this analysis,
which  reduces the resulting yields:

(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
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.  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, 2005, 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 1 percent of projected 2006 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  decreased  4.4%  to  $77,796,000  at  December  31,  2005  from
$81,351,000 at December 31, 2004. 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  2005  and  2004  on  non-accrual  and
restructured  loans  in  accordance  with  their  original  contract  terms  was  $1,144,000  and  $962,000  on
domestic loans and $1,185,000 and $241,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income
on  such  loans  that  was  recognized  in  2005  and  2004  was  $252,000  and  $195,000  on  domestic  loans  and
$46,000 and $41,000 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
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 $1,542,272,000 and $1,406,598,000 at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. See Note  19 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
decrease in the allowance for possible loan losses can be attributed to the decrease in total loans, which is
the result of the strategies employed after  the consummation of the LFIN acquisition.

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  indicate
so. 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,  2005  was  adequate  to  absorb  probable  losses  from  loans  in  the  portfolio  at  that  date.  See
Critical Accounting Policies on page 22.

Non-interest income increased in 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily because of the full integration
of the Company’s acquisition of LFIN. Non-interest income for 2004 as compared to 2003 also increased
due to the LFIN acquisition. Furthermore, the Company recorded investment securities losses of $181,000
in  2005  compared  to  gains  of  $8,884,000  for  2004  and  gains  of  $23,390,000  in  2003.  The  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.  Other  investment  income  was  positively  impacted  by  $4,000,000  of  income
recognized  on  investments  held  by  the  Company’s  investment  services  unit.  Non-banking  service  charges
decreased  in  2004  compared  to  2003  due  to  the  decrease  in  fees  earned  by  the  Company’s  investment
services  unit.  The  increase  in  other  income  from  2005  to  2004  can  be  attributed  primarily  to  a  gain  of
$8,636,000  from  a  distribution  resulting  from  the  January  2005  merger  of  the  PULSE  EFT  Association
with  Discover  Financial  Services,  a  business  unit  of  Morgan  Stanley.  Members  of  the  PULSE  EFT
Association  received  these  distributions  based  in  part  upon  their  volume  of  transactions  through  the
PULSE network.

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 increase in non-interest expense for the three years ended 2005 can be attributed primarily
to  the  expanded  operations  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries,  which  added  30  branches  in  2005
(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.

Total  loan  balances  as  of  December  31,  2005  as  compared  to  December  31,  2004  have  moderately
declined.  The  decline  is  the  result  of  the  Company’s  strategy  to  reduce  the  exposure  to  certain  loan
categories that LFIN employed prior to the acquisition by the Company. LFIN had a national real estate
group  that  loaned  funds  throughout  the  United  States  and  after  extensive  review  by  the  Company,  the
Company  concluded  the  national  real  estate  group  goals  were  not  consistent  with  the  Company’s  loan
origination  goals  that  emphasize  risk,  pricing  and  the  desire  to  lend  primarily  in  the  markets  that  the
Company occupies.

International Operations

On December 31, 2005, the Company had $281,947,000 (2.7% 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, 2005 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,  2005  were  $6,656,426,000,  an  increase  of  1.3%  from
$6,571,104,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in deposits from 2004 to 2005 is primarily the result of
the Company’s internal sales programs to organically grow deposits. As a result of the LFIN acquisition,
the  Company  strategically  reduced  certain  deposit  categories  of  LFIN  such  as  brokered  deposits  and
certain  public  fund  deposits  because  of  the  high  expense  associated  with  this  type  of  funding.  The
Company  has  not  traditionally  sought  brokered  deposits  as  a  funding  source  and  the  Company  has  not
aggressively pursued public fund deposits because of the lack of relationships in those deposit categories.

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%, 28% and
39%  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries’  total  deposits  as  of  December  31,  2005,  2004  and  2003,
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 borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (‘‘FHLB’’), securities sold under repurchase agreements and large certificates of deposit, requiring
management  to  closely  monitor  its  asset/liability  mix  in  terms  of  both  rate  sensitivity  and  maturity
distribution.  Primary  liquidity  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  has  been  maintained  by  means  of
increased  investment  in  shorter-term  securities,  certificates  of  deposit  and  repurchase  agreements.  As  in
the  past,  the  Company  will  continue  to  monitor  the  volatility  and  cost  of  funds  in  an  attempt  to  match
maturities  of  rate-sensitive  assets  and  liabilities,  and  respond  accordingly  to  anticipated  fluctuations  in
interest rates over reasonable periods of time.

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,  2005,  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-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
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, 2005, 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  1%  of  projected  2006  net  interest  income.
The  basis  point  shift  in  interest  rates  is  a  hypothetical  rate  scenario  used  to  calibrate  risk,  and  does  not

18

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 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate amount legally
available  to  be  distributed  to  the  Company  from  bank  subsidiaries  as  dividends  was  approximately
$169,500,000, 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 $860,052,000 as of December 31, 2005. The undivided profits of the bank
subsidiaries were approximately $523,759,000  as of December 31, 2005.

At  December  31,  2005,  the  Company  has  outstanding  $1,870,075,000  in  other  borrowed  funds  and
$236,391,000  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, 2005, shareholders’ equity was $792,867,000 compared to $753,090,000 at
December  31,  2004,  an  increase  of  $39,777,000,  or  5.3%.  Shareholders’  equity  increased  due  to  the
retention  of  earnings  offset  by  the  payment  of  cash  dividends  and  the  decrease  in  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income  from  2004  to  2005.  The  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  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
7.26% at December 31, 2005 and 6.91% at December 31, 2004. The core deposit intangibles and goodwill
of $328,486,000 as of December 31, 2005, 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.

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 12.97% and 10.74% and risk

19

weighted total capital ratios of 14.22% and 11.99% as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which
are well above the minimum regulatory requirements and exceed the well capitalized ratios (see note 20 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 2005 and 2004 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

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  as  of  December  31,  2005.  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,  2005,  the
principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $236,391,000.

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
Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of
the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve  and/or other regulatory  bodies.

For  financial  reporting  purposes,  the  Trusts  are  treated  as  investments  of  the  Company  and  not
consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Capital Securities issued by each of the
Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated statement of condition,
the  Capital  Securities  are  treated  as  capital  for  regulatory  purposes.  Specifically,  under  applicable
regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital up to a maximum
of 25% of Tier 1 capital on an aggregate basis. Any amount that exceeds the 25% threshold would qualify
as  Tier  2  capital.  For  December  31,  2005,  the  total  $236,391,000  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

20

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. After the transition period, the Company
believes that the majority of the $236,391,000 of Capital Securities  will qualify as Tier 1 capital.

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 and the Company also considers accounting policies related to stock-
based  compensation  to  be  critical  due  to  the  evolving  nature  of  options;  however,  these  policies  involve
considerable  subjective  judgment  and  estimation  by  management  and  therefore  could  impact  the
Company’s  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
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  loan  losses  included  in  ‘‘Allowance  for
Possible  Loan  Loss’’  included  in  ‘‘Results  of  Operations’’  on  page  7  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

22

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.  Substantially  all  of  the  Company’s  loans  evaluated  under
SFAS No. 114 are measured using the fair value of collateral method. In limited cases, the Company may
use  other  methods  to  determine  the  specific  reserve  of  a  loan  under  SFAS  No.  114  if  such  loan  is  not
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 bases 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.

The  Company  accounts  for  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans  based  on  the  intrinsic  value
method  provided  in  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25  ‘‘Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to
Employees,’’  (‘‘APB  No.  25’’),  and  related  interpretations.  Because  the  exercise  price  of  the  Company’s
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the measurement date, which is
generally  the  date  of  grant,  no  compensation  expense  is  recognized  on  options  granted.  Compensation
expense  for  stock  awards  is  based  on  the  market  price  of  the  stock  on  the  measurement  date,  which  is
generally the date of grant, and is recognized ratably over  the  service period of  the award.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  123  (‘‘SFAS  No.  123’’),  ‘‘Accounting  for  Stock-
Based  Compensation,’’  as  amended  by  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,’’  requires  pro  forma  disclosures  of  net  income  and  earnings  per  share  for
companies not adopting its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. The pro
forma  disclosures  presented  in  Note  1  in  the  accompanying  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements
included  elsewhere  in  this  report  use  the  fair  value  method  of  SFAS  No.  123  to  measure  compensation
expense  for  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans.  The  fair  value  of  stock  options  granted  was
estimated  as  the  measurement  date,  which  is  generally  the  date  of  grant,  using  the  Black-Sholes-Merton
option-pricing  model.  This  model  was  developed  for  use  in  estimating  the  fair  value  of  publicly  traded
options  that  have  no  vesting  restrictions  and  are  fully  transferable.  Additionally,  the  model  requires  the
input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics
significantly  different  from  those  of  publicly  traded  options,  and  because  changes  in  the  subjective  input
assumptions  can  materially  affect  the  fair  value  estimate,  in  management’s  opinion,  the  Black-Sholes-
Merton option-pricing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the
Company’s stock options.

23

In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (‘‘FASB’’)  issued  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  123R  (‘‘SFAS  No.  123R’’),  ‘‘Share-Based  Payment  (Revised  2004).’’
Among other things, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using
APB  No.  25  and  requires  that  such  transactions  be  recognized  as  compensation  cost  in  the  income
statement based on their fair values on the date of the grant. SFAS No. 123R is effective for the Company
on January 1, 2006. Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005
for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to January 1, 2006, the Company
expects  to  recognize  additional  pre-tax  quarterly  compensation  cost  of  $229,000  beginning  in  the  first
quarter  of  2006  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.

Stock Repurchase Program

The  Company  expanded  its  formal  stock  repurchase  program  on  November  17,  2005.  Under  the
expanded  stock  repurchase  program,  the  Company  is  authorized  to  repurchase  up  to  $175,000,000  of  its
Common  Stock  through  December  31,  2006.  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, 2006, a
total  of  4,388,693  shares  had  been  repurchased  under  this  program  at  a  cost  of  $165,763,000.  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, 2006, the
Company has approximately $186,736,000 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, 2005.

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  (the  Company)  as  of  December  31,  2005  and  2004,  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,  2005.  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, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

As  discussed  in  note  1  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  effective  December  31,  2003,  the

Company changed the method of accounting for its investment in its statutory  business  trusts.

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,  2005,  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,  2006,  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 were 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

36

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 three year period ended December  31, 2005.

Mortgage-backed  securities  held  at  December  31,  2005  and  2004  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

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 APB 25
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  adopted  the  provisions  of
SFAS  No.  123R  on  January  1,  2006.  Based  on  the  stock-based  compensation  awards  outstanding  as  of
December 31, 2005 for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to January 1,
2006,  the  Company  expects  to  recognize  additional  pre-tax  quarterly  compensation  cost  of  $229,000
beginning  in  the  first  quarter  of  2006  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.

At December 31, 2005, 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  Identified  Intangible  Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Prior to 2002,
goodwill was amortized over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method or an accelerated basis
(as appropriate) over periods generally not exceeding 25 years. On January 1, 2002, in accordance with a

39

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

new  accounting  standard,  the  Company  stopped  amortizing  goodwill  and  adopted  a  new  policy  for
measuring  goodwill  for  impairment.  Under  the  new  policy,  goodwill  is  assigned  to  reporting  units.
Goodwill  is  then  tested  for  impairment  at  least  annually  or  on  an  interim  basis  if  an  event  occurs  or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its
carrying value.

Identified  intangible  assets  are  acquired  assets  that  lack  physical  substance  but  can  be  distinguished
from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or
exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. The Company’s
identified intangible assets relate to core deposits. Identified intangible assets with definite useful lives are
amortized  on  an  accelerated  basis  over  their  estimated  life.  Identified  intangible  assets  with  indefinite
useful  lives  are  not  amortized  until  their  lives  are  determined  to  be  definite.  Identified  intangible  assets,
premises and equipment and other long lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  may  not  be  recoverable  from  future
undiscounted cash flow. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. See Note 7—Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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  statement  of  condition
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 financial 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.

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 had  no effect on  previously reported net income.

New Accounting Standards

In  May  2005,  The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  154,  (‘‘SFAS  No.  154’’),  ‘‘Accounting  Changes  and  Error  Corrections,  a  Replacement  of
APB  Opinion  No.  20  and  FASB  Statement  No.  3.’’  SFAS  No.  154  establishes,  unless  impracticable,
retrospective  application  as  the  required  method  for  reporting  a  change  in  accounting  principle  in  the
absence of explicit transitional requirements specific to a newly adopted accounting principle. Previously,

41

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

most  changes  in  accounting  principle  were  recognized  by  reporting  a  cumulative  change  in  accounting
principle  to  the  net  income  of  the  period  of  the  change.  Under  SFAS  No.  154,  retrospective  application
requires  that  (i)  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  change  to  the  new  accounting  principle  on  periods  prior  to
those presented be reflected in the carrying amounts of asset and liabilities as of the beginning of the first
period presented, (ii) an offsetting adjustment, if any, be made to the opening balance of retained earnings
or  other  appropriate  components  of  equity  for  that  period,  and  (iii)  financial  statements  for  each  prior
period  presented  be  adjusted  to  reflect  the  direct  period  specific  effects  of  applying  the  new  accounting
principle.  Special  retroactive  application  rules  apply  in  certain  situations  where  it  is  impracticable  to
determine  either  the  period  specific  effects  or  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  change.  Indirect  effects  of  a
change in accounting principle are required to be reported in the period in which the accounting change is
made.  SFAS  No.  154  carries  forward  the  guidance  in  APB  Opinion  No.  20  ‘‘Accounting  Changes,’’
requiring justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. SFAS No. 154 also
carries forward, without change, the guidance in APB Opinion 20, for reporting the correction of an error
in previously issued financial statements and for a change in accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 is effective
for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No 115-1
(‘‘FSP  115-1’’),  ‘‘The  Meaning  of  Other-Than-Temporary  Impairment  and  Its  Application  to  Certain
Investments.’’  FSP  115-1  provides  guidance  for  determining  when  an  investment  is  considered  impaired,
whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment is
considered  impaired  if  the  fair  value  of  the  investment  is  less  than  its  cost.  If,  after  consideration  of  all
available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of its investment, impairment is determined to be other-
thank-temporary,  then  an  impairment  loss  should  be  recognized  equal  to  the  difference  between  the
investments’  cost  and  its  fair  value.  FSB  115-1  nullifies  certain  provision  of  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force
(‘‘EITF’’)  Issue  No  01-1,  ‘‘The  Meaning  of  Other-Than-Temporary  Impairment  and  Its  Application  to
Certain  Investments,’’  while  retaining  the  disclosure  requirements  of  EITF  01-1  which  were  adopted  in
2003. FSP 115-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this
new  standard  at  January  1,  2006  did  not  have  an  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
(‘‘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. SFAS No. 123R was to be effective for the Company for interim and
reporting  periods  after  December  31,  2005.  The  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123R  on
January 1, 2006. Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005 for
which  the  requisite  service  is  not  expected  to  be  fully  rendered  prior  to  January  1,  2006,  the  Company
expects  to  recognize  additional  pre-tax  quarterly  compensation  cost  of  $229,000  beginning  in  the  first
quarter  of  2006  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.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

(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,  2005,  2004  and  2003  amounted  to
$30,075,000,  $30,773,000  and  $20,960,000,  respectively.  The  effect  of  such  non-accrual  loans  reduced
interest income by $2,329,000, $1,203,000 and $1,870,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, 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.

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

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

(5) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (Continued)

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  impaired  loans  included  in  the  table  above  were  primarily  comprised  of  collateral  dependent
commercial  loans,  which  have  not  been  fully  charged  off.  The  average  recorded  investment  in  impaired
loans  was  $29,909,000,  $34,226,000,  and  $13,090,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2005,  2004  and
2003, respectively. The increase in impaired loans in 2004 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, 2005 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,  2005,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures
outstanding totaled $236,391,000.

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

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.

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.

Although  the  Capital  Securities  issued  by  each  of  the  Trusts  are  not  included  as  a  component  of
shareholders’  equity  on  the  consolidated  statements  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, 2005,
the total $236,391,000 of the Capital Securities  outstanding  qualified as Tier 1 capital.

(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, 2005, 2004, and 2003 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 $4,950,000, $3,823,000 and $2,897,000 were charged to income for the
years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003,  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,  2005  and  2004  are  as

(16) Stock Options

On  April  1,  2005,  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  2005  International  Bancshares  Corporation
Stock  Option  Plan  (the  ‘‘2005  Plan’’).  The  2005  Plan  replaced  the  1996  International  Bancshares
Corporation  Key  Contributor  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  ‘‘1996  Plan’’).  Under  the  2005  Plan  both  qualified
incentive  stock  options  (‘‘ISOs’’)  and  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.

Through December 31, 2005, the Company has granted nonqualified stock options exercisable for a
total  of  167,847  shares,  adjusted  for  stock  dividends,  of  Common  Stock  to  certain  employees  of  the
GulfStar Group. The grants were not made under either the 1996 Plan or the 2005 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 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.

(17) 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  substantial  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,  2005,  2004  and  2003  and  non-cancellable  lease
commitments at December 31, 2005  were not significant.

Cash of approximately $50,625,000 and $50,411,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, 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 is 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 respective 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. The case with respect to the first FPAA was tried during
August 2005. Post-trial briefs were filed  in January  and February  2006.

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

62

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(17) 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, 2005 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.

(18) 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
$41,261,000 and $43,430,000 at December  31, 2005 and  2004,  respectively.

(19) 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,  2005,  the  following  financial  amounts  of  instruments,
whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were  outstanding:

(19) 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, 2005, the
maximum  potential  amount  of  future  payments  is  $122,384,000.  At  December  31,  2005,  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.

(20) 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,  2005,  the  subsidiary  banks  could  pay  dividends  of  up  to  $169,500,000  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
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,  2005,  that  the  Company  and  each  of  the  bank  subsidiaries  met  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

As  of  December  31,  2005,  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.

(21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

December 31, 2005 and 2004 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.

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, 2005 and 2004, the carrying
amount  of  fixed  rate  performing  loans  was  $1,398,838,000  and  $1,681,916,000  respectively,  and  the
estimated fair value was $1,382,409,000 and $1,679,719,000, 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, 2005 and 2004,
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, 2005 and 2004. 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,

68

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION  AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

2005 and 2004, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,160,812,000 and $3,188,003,000, respectively,
and  the estimated fair value was $3,175,624,000 and $3,197,198,000, respectively.

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, 2005 and 2004.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest  Debentures

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

value at December 31, 2005.

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.
