Overview The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with more than 255 facilities and more than 400 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, 2007 was 13.73% as compared to 14.02% for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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 monitors this ratio over time to assess the Company’s efficiency relative to its peers and whether the Company is being productive with its long term goals of providing superior returns to the Company’s shareholders. The efficiency ratio during 2007 was negatively affected by an impairment charge of $13.1 million, after tax, arising from a charge on certain investment securities. This impairment charge negatively affected the efficiency ratio but does not necessarily reflect a long-term negative trend. The efficiency ratio during 2006 was also negatively affected by the $8.9 million, net of tax, expense recognized in connection with the tax litigation. Additionally, the 3 Company’s efficiency ratio has been negatively impacted over the last few years because of the Company’s aggressive branch expansion which has added 70 branches in 2006 and 2007. 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 benefits should positively impact the efficiency ratio in future periods. The Company believes that the de novo branching will help in attracting new low cost deposits and loans and also help with the retention of current customers as more out of market banks expand their branching activities in Texas; however, the Company realizes that there is a certain amount of time before each branch becomes profitable and thus negatively impacts earnings in the short term. The Company has continued to foster the growth of loans to improve net interest income; however, this process of expanding quality loan balances takes a certain amount of time and also increases the provision for loan losses in periods of expansion. The Company believes the de novo branch expansion is important to the future long term expansion of the Company.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was positively affected by the credit for possible 4 loan losses recorded in 2007. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was negatively impacted by an impairment charge of $13.1 million, after tax, on certain investments. A significant portion of the impairment charge was the result of the Company’s strategic identification of certain investment securities that were sold in the second quarter of 2007 with the proceeds from the sales used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’) borrowings. Net income for the same period was positively affected by the sale of the securities, which generated gains of $1.5 million, after tax. The investments sold were certain hybrid mortgage-backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness short-term rate. The sale of the securities facilitated a re-positioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of interest rate risk and also improved operating ratios. Net income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 due in part, to a $8.9 million, net of tax, charge to operations as a result of the loss of a tax lawsuit with the Internal Revenue Service that was litigated during the third quarter of 2005 in the Federal District Court in San Antonio, Texas and that relates to certain leasing transactions previously discussed in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Because of the trial court judgment issued on March 31, 2006, and the loss of the case at the appellate level, and the similarity between the litigated lawsuit and the other tax case that is pending, the Company took the $8.9 million charge, net of tax. Additionally, net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was negatively impacted due to an inverted yield curve and increasing competition for deposits and loans. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2006 was affected by the Company’s strategic decisions to reduce certain loan and deposit categories acquired from Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’). As a result of the inverted yield curve, the Company’s interest revenue coming from its securities portfolio has been negatively affected. Because the Company faces the challenges of an inverted or flat yield curve, the Company has placed greater emphasis on growing its loan portfolio and potentially improving the volume of interest income derived from loans. However, the greater emphasis on increasing loan balances comes with more risk and takes time to produce quality loans and does not guarantee the Company will achieve its goal. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the spread between income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets, such as deposits, repurchase agreements and funds borrowed. Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue. Net 5 interest income is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

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 4.8% from 6.51% in 2006 to 6.82% in 2007, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 4.4% from 3.84% in 2006 to 4.01% in 2007. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 16.5% from 5.59% in 2005 to 6.51% in 2006, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 51.8% from 2.53% in 2005 to 3.84% in 2006. 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. The Company has strategically reduced loans acquired in the LFIN acquisition. 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. This strategic reduction negatively impacted the interest recognized on loans. The decrease in interest income arising from this strategic reduction was offset by continued growth in the Company’s Texas branches. The Company has continued to grow deposits through its internal sales program. The Company strategically reduced certain deposit categories of LFIN such as brokered deposits and certain public fund deposits. The Company decided not to continue the recruitment of brokered deposits and certain public funds because of the high expense associated with those types of 6 funding sources and the lack of relationships those deposits carry. The strategic reduction in loans and deposits acquired from LFIN has negatively impacted net interest income. The following table analyzes the changes in net interest income during 2007 and 2006 and the relative effect of changes in interest rates and volumes for each major classification of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Non-accrual loans have been included in assets for the purpose of this analysis, which reduces the resulting yields: 2007 compared to 2006 2006 compared to 2005 Net increase (decrease) due to Net increase (decrease) due to Volume(1) Rate(1) Total Volume(1) Rate(1) Total (Dollars in Thousands) (Dollars in Thousands) Interest earned on: Loans, net of unearned discounts: Domestic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As part of the 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 7 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, 2007, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up or a rate shift of 200 basis points down will not vary net interest income by more than 3.6% of projected 2008 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. Allowance for Possible Loan Loss The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of non-accrual, past due and restructured domestic loans; certain loans may be classified in one or more categories: 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 December 31, Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis . . . . . . . Accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or principal payments . . . . . . . . Loans accounted for as ‘‘troubled debt restructuring’’ $32,900 (Dollars in Thousands) $17,129 $13,490 $16,998 $20,874 21,330 — 9,201 — 5,478 — 7,833 — 7,666 213 The allowance for possible loan losses decreased 4.4% to $61,726,000 at December 31, 2007 from $64,537,000 at December 31, 2006. The (credit) provision for possible loan losses charged to expense decreased $5,611,000 to $(1,762,000) for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $3,849,000 for the same period in 2006. The decrease in the allowance for possible loan losses can be attributed to the charge off of loans acquired as part of the LFIN acquisition. Additionally, the reduction in the provision for possible loan losses can be attributed to the strength of the loan portfolio during 2007; however, this does not necessarily indicate that the provision will trend downward. The allowance for possible loan losses was 1.1% of total loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2007 and 1.3% at December 31, 2006. The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of non-accrual and past due foreign loans extended to persons or entities in foreign countries. Certain loans may be classified in one or more category: December 31, 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis . . . . . . . . . . . Accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or principal payments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 722 (Dollars in Thousands) $12,946 $4,298 $13,741 $ 85 510 199 608 104 597 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 gross income that would have been recorded during 2007 and 2006 on non-accrual and restructured loans in accordance with their original contract terms was $922,000 and $1,074,000 on domestic loans and $1,023,000 and $798,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on such loans that was recognized in 2007 and 2006 was $1,716,000 and $289,000 on domestic loans and $310,000 and $18,000 for foreign loans, respectively. 8 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 $2,066,859,000 and $2,043,213,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The allowance for possible loan losses has been allocated based on the amount management has deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the probable losses incurred within the following categories of loans at the dates indicated and the percentage of loans to total loans in each category: 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 At December 31, Percent Allowance of total Allowance of total Allowance of total Allowance of total Allowance of total Percent Percent Percent Percent (Dollars in Thousands) Commercial, Financial and Agricultural . . . $28,117 9,256 Real estate—Mortgage Real estate— Construction . . . . .

The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for possible loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a ‘‘loss’’ by bank examiners. Commercial, financial and agricultural or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, (i) when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent, (ii) when no further collection of the portion of the loan so exposed is anticipated based on actual results, (iii) when the credit enhancements, if any, are not adequate, and (iv) when the borrower’s financial condition would 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, 2007 was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date.

Additionally, a loss of $1.0 million was recorded on sales of securities in the third quarter of 2007. The impairment charge in the first quarter is a result of the Company’s strategic identification of certain investment securities sold in the second quarter 2007 with the proceeds from the sales used to reduce FHLB borrowings. The investments sold were certain hybrid mortgage-backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness short-term rate. The sale of the securities facilitated a repositioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of interest rate risk and improved the Company’s operating ratios. As a result of this decision, the Company marked the securities to market. Non-interest income increased in 2006 as compared to 2005 primarily because of income recognized by the Company’s investment services unit.

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 other expense in 2006 compared to 2005 can be attributed to the $13,640,000 in connection with the tax lawsuits (see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements) expensed in the first quarter 2006. The increase in employee compensation and benefits in 2006 compared to 2005 can be attributed to increased fees paid by the Company’s investment banking unit, the GulfStar Group and the growth experienced with the de novo branch activity. 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.

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, 2007, the Company had $285,008,000 (2.6% of total assets) in loans outstanding to borrowers domiciled in Mexico. The loan policies of the Company’s bank subsidiaries generally require that loans to borrowers domiciled in Mexico 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 15 composition of such loans and the related amounts of allocated allowance for possible loan losses as of December 31, 2007 is presented below.

The Company relies primarily on its high quality customer service, sales programs, customer referrals 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, 2007 were $7,157,606,000, an increase of 2.4% from $6,989,918,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits from 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of the Company’s internal sales programs to organically grow deposits.

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 Company’s bank subsidiaries derive their liquidity largely from deposits of individuals and business entities. Deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a stable portion of the deposit base of the 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 30%, 30% and 28% of the Company’s bank subsidiaries’ total deposits as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 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 18 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, 2007, 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. 19 INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY (Dollars in Thousands) 3 Months or Less Over 3 Months to 1 Year Rate/Maturity Over 1 Year to 5 Years (Dollars in Thousands) Over 5 Years Total December 31, 2007 Rate sensitive assets Federal funds sold . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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. 20 At December 31, 2007, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up or a rate shift of 200 basis points down will not vary net interest income by more than 3.6% of projected 2008 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. 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, 2007, the aggregate amount legally available to be distributed to the Company from bank subsidiaries as dividends was approximately $135,000,000, assuming that each bank subsidiary continues to be classified as ‘‘well capitalized’’ under the applicable regulations. The restricted capital (capital and surplus) of the bank subsidiaries was approximately $952,119,000 as of December 31, 2007. The undivided profits of the bank subsidiaries were approximately $545,145,000 as of December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, the Company has outstanding $1,456,936,000 in other borrowed funds and $200,929,000 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. Capital The Company maintains an adequate level of capital as a margin of safety for its depositors and shareholders. At December 31, 2007, shareholders’ equity was $935,905,000 compared to $842,056,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $93,849,000, or 11.1%. Shareholders’ equity increased due to the retention of earnings offset by the payment of cash dividends to shareholders. The accumulated other comprehensive income is not included in the calculation of regulatory capital ratios. During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board (‘‘FRB’’) adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the most highly rated bank holding companies and at least 4% to 5% for all other bank holding companies. The Company’s leverage ratio (defined as shareholders’ equity plus eligible trust preferred securities issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other intangibles divided by average quarterly assets) was 7.76% at December 31, 2007 and 7.36% at December 31, 2006. The core deposit intangibles and goodwill of $314,705,000 as of December 31, 2007, 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 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 21 leverage ratio of 5%. The Company had risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.98% and 12.49% and risk weighted total capital ratios of 12.99% and 13.61% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 2007 and 2006 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 twelve statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. As part of the Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’) acquisition, the Company acquired three additional statutory business trusts previously formed by LFIN for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The twelve statutory business trusts formed by the Company and the three business trusts acquired in the LFIN transaction (the ‘‘Trusts’’) have each issued Capital and Common Securities and invested the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debentures (the ‘‘Debentures’’) issued by the Company or LFIN, as appropriate. As of December 31, 2007, the Debentures issued by four of the trusts formed by the Company and the Debentures issued by all three of the trusts formed by LFIN have been redeemed by the Company. As of December 31, 2007, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $200,929,000. 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 Trust I and for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII. If interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory bodies. For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts are treated as investments of the Company and not consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Capital Securities issued by each of the Trusts are not included as a component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated statement of condition, the Capital Securities are treated as capital for regulatory purposes. Specifically, under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Capital Securities issued by the Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital up to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital on an aggregate basis. Any amount that exceeds the 25% threshold would qualify as Tier 2 capital. For December 31, 2007, the total $200,929,000, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital. In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that would continue to allow the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter quantitative limits. Under the final rule, after a transition period ending March 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill, less any associated deferred tax liability. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. Bank holding companies with significant international operations will be expected to limit trust preferred securities to 15% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill; however, they may include qualifying mandatory convertible preferred 22 securities up to the 25% limit. The Company believes that substantially all of the current trust preferred securities will be included in Tier 1 capital after the five-year transition period ending March 31, 2009. On November 7, 2007, the Company, as successor issuer, redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (‘‘the Debt Securities’’) issued to Local Financial Capital Trust III (‘‘LFIN Trust III’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $10,547,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

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 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant subjective judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The Company considers its Allowance for Possible Loan Losses as a policy critical to the sound operations of the bank subsidiaries. The allowance for possible loan losses consists of the aggregate loan loss allowances of the bank subsidiaries. The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for possible loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for possible loan losses of each bank subsidiary is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is derived from the following elements: (i) allowances established on specific loans (ii) allowances based on quantitative historical loss experience on the Company’s loan portfolio and (iii) allowances based on qualitative data, which includes general economic conditions and other risk factors both internal and external to the Company. See also discussion regarding the allowance for possible loan losses and provision for possible loan losses included in the results of operations and ‘‘Provision and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses’’ included in Notes 1 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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) ‘‘Special Review Credits,’’ (ii) ‘‘Watch List—Pass Credits,’’ or (iii) ‘‘Watch List—Substandard Credits.’’ The loans placed in the ‘‘Special Review Credits’’ category reflect the Company’s opinion that the loans reflect potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis. The ‘‘Special Review Credits’’ 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—Pass Credits’’ category reflect the Company’s opinion that the credit contains weaknesses which represent a greater degree of risk, which warrant ‘‘extra attention.’’ The ‘‘Watch List—Pass Credits’’ 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—Substandard Credits’’ classification are considered to be potentially inadequately protected by the current sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These credit obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have shown defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market or political conditions which may jeopardize repayment of principal and interest. Furthermore, there is the possibility that some future loss could be sustained by the bank if such weaknesses are not corrected; provided however, 26 management may evaluate these credits under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, ‘‘Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,’’ criteria and, if deemed necessary, a specific reserve is allocated to the credit, but management does not necessarily believe there is a loss present in this classified credit category. 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 ‘‘Special Review Credits,’’ ‘‘Watch List—Pass Credits,’’ and ‘‘Watch List—Substandard 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, allowance established on quantitative historical percentages, allowance based on qualitative data, and the loans charged off and recoveries to establish an appropriate amount to maintain in the Company’s allowance for loan loss. If the basis of the Company’s assumptions change, the allowance for loan loss would either decrease or increase and the Company would increase or decrease the provision for loan loss charged to operations accordingly.

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, 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 Company owns two insurance-related subsidiaries, IBC Life Insurance Company and IBC Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IBC, the bank subsidiary. Neither of the insurance- related subsidiaries conducts underwriting activities. The IBC Life Insurance Company is in the business of reinsuring credit life and credit accident and health insurance. The business is assumed from an unaffiliated insurer and the only business written is generated by the bank subsidiaries of the Company. The risk assumed on each of the policies is not significant to the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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. 41 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 that are intended and expected to be held until maturity are classified as ‘‘held-to-maturity’’ and are carried at amortized cost for financial statement reporting. Securities that are not positively expected to be held until maturity, but are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time are classified as ‘‘available-for-sale’’ or ‘‘trading’’ and are carried at their fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in net income for those securities classified as ‘‘trading’’, while unrealized holding gains and losses related to those securities classified as ‘‘available-for-sale’’ are excluded from net income and reported net of tax as other comprehensive income 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, 2007. Mortgage-backed securities held at December 31, 2007 and 2006 represent participating interests in pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Mortgage- backed securities are either issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (‘‘Freddie Mac’’), the Federal National Mortgage Association (‘‘Fannie Mae’’) and the Government National Mortgage Association (‘‘Ginnie Mae’’). Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the U. S. Government. Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, but are rated AAA. Market interest rate fluctuations can affect the prepayment speed of principal and the yield on the security. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the level yield or ‘‘interest method’’ over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for sale-securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other-than-temporary impairment exists, management considers many factors, including (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. 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. 42 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 make additions or reductions to their GAAP 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 using the interest method. The Company originates mortgage loans that may subsequently be sold to an unaffiliated third party. The loans are not securitized and if sold, are sold without recourse. Loans held for sale are carried at cost and the principal amount outstanding is not significant to the consolidated financial statements. 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. As it relates to consumer loans, management charges off those loans when the loan is contractually 90 days past due. Under special circumstances, a consumer or non-consumer 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. As it relates to non-consumer loans that are not 90 days past due, management will evaluate each of these loans to determine if placing the loan on non-accrual status is warranted. 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. 43 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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. Other Investments Other investments include equity investments in non-financial companies, bank owned life insurance, as well as equity securities with no readily determinable fair market value. Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity securities with no readily determinable fair value are accounted for using the cost method. 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 carry forwards, 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 Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted 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 was 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 16 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 44 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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. 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 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2006. 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. Stock options for 460,861 and 360,958 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for 2007 and 2006, respectively, because they were antidilutive. Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or on an interim basis if an event triggering impairment may have occurred. As of December 31, 2007, after completing goodwill testing, the Company has determined that no goodwill impairment exists. 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. 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 45 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 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. The Company has retained mortgage servicing rights in connection with the sale of mortgage loans. Because the Company may not initially identify loans as originated for resale, all loans are initially treated as held for investment. The value of the mortgage servicing rights are reviewed periodically for impairment and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing losses. The value of the mortgage servicing rights is not significant to the consolidated statements of condition. 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. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. 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. 46 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Additionally, subsequent to the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company identified that cash flows arising from the sales of loans held for sale had been presented incorrectly. The cash flows from the sales of loans were included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from investing activities instead of operating activities. The change resulted in reclassifications of $3.9 million and $25.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, from net cash used in investing activities to net cash provided by operating activities. The impact of this reclassification is not considered material to the financial statements previously presented on the Form 10K for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005. New Accounting Standards In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, (‘‘SFAS No. 155’’), ‘‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.’’ SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,’’ and SFAS No. 140, ‘‘Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.’’ SFAS No. 155 permits fair value measurements for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative and that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial interest. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a re-measurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this new standard at January 1, 2007 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, (‘‘SFAS No. 156’’), ‘‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.’’ SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, ‘‘Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,’’ by requiring, in certain situations, an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. All separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement methods include the amortization method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are amortized in proportion to an over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss or the fair value method, whereby servicing assets or servicing liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the period in which they occur. If the amortization method is used, an entity must assess servicing assets or servicing liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on the fair value at each reporting date. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this new standard at January 1, 2007 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 47 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (‘‘SFAS No. 157’’), ‘‘Fair Value Measurements.’’ SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (‘‘SFAS No. 159’’), ‘‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.’’ SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at certain specified review dates. Changes in unrealized gains/losses for items elected to be measured using the fair value option are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2007. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard. In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R (‘‘SFAS No. 141R’’), ‘‘Business Combinations (Revised 2007).’’ SFAS No. 141R, replaces SFAS No. 141, ‘‘Business Combinations,’’ and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other entities. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS No. 141, whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring entity to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under SFAS No. 141. Under SFAS No. 141R, the requirements of SFAS No. 146, ‘‘Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,’’ would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimateable criteria of SFAS No. 5, ‘‘Accounting for Contingencies.’’ SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not adopt this standard early. It is unknown what the impact of the adoption of this new standard will have on the Company’s financial statements. In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (‘‘SFAS No. 160’’), ‘‘Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No. 51.’’ SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulleting (ARB) No. 51. ‘‘Consolidated Financial Statements,’’ to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority 48 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated financial statements, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal year, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or January 1, 2009 for entities with a calendar year end. An entity may not adopt this standard early. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FIN 48’’), ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109.’’ FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, thus, there was no change to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in operating expenses and penalties in income tax expense, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. The Company files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and the State of Oklahoma. The Company is not subject to examination by any taxing authority for any tax years prior to 2004, with the exception of the tax year involved in the IRS lease litigation as discussed in Note 17— Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Other Tax matters. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (‘‘SAB No. 108’’), ‘‘Considering the Effects of a Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.’’ SAB No.108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected errors must be considered in quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. The effects of prior year uncorrected errors include the potential accumulation of improper amounts that may result in a material misstatement on the balance sheet or the reversal of prior period errors in the current period that result in a material misstatement of the current period income statement amounts. Adjustments to current or prior period financial statements would be required in the event that after application of various approaches for assessing materiality of misstatement in current period financial statements and consideration of all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, a misstatement is determined to be material. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this new standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. 49 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (2) Acquisitions On March 16, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Southwest First Community, Inc. (‘‘SWFC’’), a bank holding company with approximately $133 million in assets that owned State Bank & Trust in Beeville, Texas and Commercial State Bank in Sinton, Texas. The transaction was pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 1, 2006 (the ‘‘Merger Agreement’’). The Company paid consideration totaling $23.5 million in cash.

Mortgage-backed securities are primarily securities issued by the Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the 51 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities (Continued) U.S. Government. Investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, but are rated AAA. The amortized cost and fair value of available for sale investment securities pledged to qualify for fiduciary powers, to secure public monies as required by law, repurchase agreements and short-term fixed borrowings was $3,240,405,000 and $3,239,874,000, respectively, at December 31, 2007. Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale were $841,084,000, $60,447,000 and $189,902,000 during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which amounts included $838,561,000, $61,377,000 and $173,457,000 of mortgage-backed securities. In 2007, the Company sold approximately $833,160,000 of mortgage-backed securities that were in a loss position. The securities identified for sale had unique attributes that distinguished them from the rest of the portfolio and caused them to not meet the interest rate risk profile of the Company at the time. The first sale occurred in the first quarter. The securities sold were certain hybrid mortgage-backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness short-term rate. The second sale occurred in the third quarter. The securities sold were certain hybrid mortgage-backed securities with a coupon re-set date that was 15 - 30 months and a weighted average yield coupon re-set that was approximately 60 basis points below the FHLB short-term advance rate. In both quarters, the proceeds from the sales of the securities were used to pay down FHLB borrowings. The sales of the securities facilitated a re-positioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of interest rate risk and will improve operating ratios in the short term. In 2006, the Company sold approximately $61,377,000 of mortgage-backed securities that were in a loss position in order to re-position a portion of the balance sheet of one of its subsidiary banks in response to unexpected changes in the economic landscape of the subsidiary bank. In 2005, the Company sold approximately $173,457,000 of mortgage-backed securities, of which $101,653,000 were in a loss position, in order to mitigate interest rate risk in the balance sheet, pay down borrowings and improve operating ratios. The securities identified for sale consisted of both fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities that had unique attributes that distinguished them from the rest of the portfolio and caused them to not meet the interest rate risk profile of the Company at the time. The fixed rate securities had principal prepayment speeds that were 10% per period and were the lowest coupon bonds in the Company’s entire portfolio. The adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities sold had coupon re-set dates of approximately 60 months, a weighted average coupon below 4.40% and prepayment speeds that were below 10% for a one month period and below 15% for a six-month period. The Company intends to hold mortgage-backed securities until a market price recovery or a maturity of the securities. Gross gains of $2,431,000, $412,000 and $1,402,000 and gross losses of $18,369,000, $1,342,000 and $1,583,000 were realized on the sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 52 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities (Continued) Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2007 were as follows: Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses (Dollars in Thousands) $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 678,596 (1,551) 1,273,719 (7,284) — $ — (8,835) 1,952,315 Available for sale: U.S. Treasury securities . . . . .

Mortgage-backed securities are primarily securities issued by the Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. The contractual cash obligations of the securities issued by Ginnie Mae are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The contractual cash obligations of the securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, however, the securities are rated AAA. The decrease in fair value is due to market interest rates and not other factors, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity of the securities, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The unrealized losses on investments in other securities are caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. The underlying cash obligations of the securities are guaranteed by the entity underwriting the debt instrument. It is the belief of the Company that the 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, 53 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities (Continued) and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity of the securities, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The effect of such non-accrual loans reduced interest income by $1,378,000, $1,868,000 and $2,329,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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. Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 amounted to $21,840,000, $9,400,000 and $6,086,000, respectively. 54 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (5) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (Continued) The decrease in non-accrual loans from 2005 to 2006 can be attributed to the charge-off of loans acquired as part of the Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’) acquisition in 2004. In the third quarter of 2007, a loan acquired as part of the LFIN acquisition was settled for $6.8 million. The settlement resulted in the reversal of approximately $3.7 million of specific reserves established in 2006 and the recovery of approximately $3.1 million. The combination of the settlement recovery and reduction in the impaired loans was a contributing cause to the reduction in the allowance for loan loss at December 31, 2007. Impaired loans are those loans where it is probable that all amounts due according to contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The Company has identified these loans through its normal loan review procedures. Impaired loans are measured based on (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral. In limited cases the Company may use other methods to determine the level of impairment of a loan if such loan is not collateral dependent. The following table details key information regarding the Company’s impaired loans: 2007 2006 2005 (Dollars in Thousands) Balance of impaired loans where there is a related allowance for loan loss . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $39,618 $22,909 $34,796 Balance of impaired loans where there is no related allowance for loan loss . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . — — — Total impaired loans . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $39,618 $22,909 $34,796 Allowance allocated to impaired loans . . . . . . . . . . . $ 4,903 $ 7,171 $20,014 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 $22,590,000, $25,684,000, and $29,909,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired loans was $1,989,000, $404,000, and $185,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. The increase in the impaired loans from 2006 to 2007 is the result of certain loans being placed in this category, and does not necessarily reflect the environment of the current sub-prime crisis. The increase of $16,709,000 reflects a slight increase in this category relative to the Company’s $5.5 billion total outstanding balance of loans. Although the Company has no direct exposure to sub-prime loans, due to the recent sub-prime crisis on a national level, the Company might experience an increasing amount of 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. 55 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (5) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses (Continued) 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, 2007 was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date.

As part of the Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’) acquisition, the Company acquired three additional statutory business trusts previously formed by LFIN for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The twelve statutory business trusts formed by the Company and the three business trusts acquired in the LFIN transaction (the ‘‘Trusts’’) have each issued Capital and Common Securities and invested the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debentures (the ‘‘Debentures’’) issued by the Company or LFIN, as appropriate. As of December 31, 2007, the Debentures issued by four of the trusts formed by the Company and the Debentures issued by all three of the trusts formed by LFIN have been redeemed by the Company. As of December 31, 2007, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $200,929,000. 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 Trust I and for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods on Trusts VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII. If interest payments on any of the Debentures are deferred, distributions on both the Capital and Common Securities related to that Debenture would also be deferred. The redemption prior to maturity of any of the Debentures may require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve and/or other regulatory bodies. 61 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Continued) 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, 2007, the total $200,929,000, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital. In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that would continue to allow the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter quantitative limits. Under the final rule, after a transition period ending March 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill, less any associated deferred tax liability. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. Bank holding companies with significant international operations will be expected to limit trust preferred securities to 15% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill; however, they may include qualifying mandatory convertible preferred securities up to the 25% limit. The Company believes that substantially all of the current trust preferred securities will be included in Tier 1 capital after the five-year transition period ending March 31, 2009. On November 7, 2007, the Company, as successor issuer, redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (‘‘the Debt Securities’’) issued to Local Financial Capital Trust III (‘‘LFIN Trust III’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $10,547,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of LFIN Trust III Floating Rate Capital Securities and Floating Rate Common Securities issued by LFIN Trust III. On July 30, 2007, the Company, as successor issuer, redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’), issued to Local Financial Capital Trust II (‘‘LFIN Trust II’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $10,764,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption of the Debt Securities were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of LFIN Trust II Floating Rate Capital Securities and Floating Rate Common Securities issued by LFIN Trust II. On July 7, 2007, the Company redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’), issued to International Bancshares Capital Trust V (‘‘Trust V’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $21,088,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of Trust V Floating Rate Capital Securities and Floating Rate Common Securities issued by Trust V. On June 11, 2007, the Company formed International Bancshares Corporation Trust XII (‘‘Trust XII’’), for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On June 26, 2007, Trust XII issued $20,000,000 of Capital Securities. The Capital Securities accrue interest for the first five years at a fixed rate of 6.851% and subsequently at a floating rate of 1.45% over the three month LIBOR, and interest is payable quarterly beginning September 1, 2007. The Trust XII Capital Securities will mature on September 1, 2037; however, the Capital Securities may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices (a) in whole or in part on 62 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Continued) any interest payment date on or after September 1, 2012, or (b) in whole or in part within 90 days upon the occurrence of certain legal, regulatory, or tax events. On April 22, 2007, the Company redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’), issued to International Bancshares Capital Trust IV (‘‘Trust IV’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $23,723,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of Trust IV Floating Rate Capital Securities and Floating Rate Common Securities issued by Trust IV. On April 13, 2007, the Company formed International Bancshares Corporation Trust XI (‘‘Trust XI’’), for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On April 19, 2007, Trust XI issued $32,000,000 of Capital Securities. The Capital Securities accrue interest for the first five years at a fixed rate of 6.82% and subsequently at a floating rate of 1.62% over the three month LIBOR, and interest is payable quarterly beginning July 1, 2007. The Trust XI Capital Securities will mature on July 1, 2037, however, the Capital Securities may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices (a) in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after July 1, 2012, or (b) in whole or in part within 90 days upon the occurrence of certain legal, regulatory, or tax events. On December 8, 2006, the Company redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’) issued to International Bancshares Capital Trust III (‘‘Trust III’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $34,538,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of Trust III floating rate Capital Securities and the Trust III floating rate Common Securities issued by Trust III. On November 8, 2006, the Company formed International Bancshares Corporation Capital Trust X (‘‘Trust X’’), for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On November 15, 2006, Trust X issued $33,000,000 of Capital Securities. The Capital Securities accrue interest for the first five years at a fixed rate of 6.66% and subsequently at a floating rate of 1.65% over the three month LIBOR, and interest is payable quarterly beginning February 1, 2007. The Trust X Capital Securities will mature on February 1, 2037; however, the Capital Securities may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices (a) in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after February 1, 2012, or (b) in whole or in part within 90 days upon the occurrence of certain legal, regulatory, or tax events. On September 30, 2006, the Company, as successor issuer, redeemed all of its Fixed Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’), issued to Local Financial Capital Trust I (‘‘LFIN Trust I’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $41,155,625, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of LFIN Trust I Fixed Rate Capital Securities and the LFIN Trust I Fixed Rate Common Securities issued by LFIN Trust I. On July 25, 2006, the Company redeemed all of its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the ‘‘Debt Securities’’), issued to International Bancshares Capital Trust II (‘‘Trust II’’) at a redemption price equal to approximately $27,998,000, which includes accrued interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption were used to simultaneously redeem an equal amount of Trust II Floating Capital Securities and the Trust II Floating Rate Common Securities issued by Trust II. 63 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Continued) On June 9, 2006, the Company formed International Bancshares Corporation Capital Trust IX (‘‘Trust IX’’), for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On July 27, 2006, Trust IX issued $40,000,000 of Capital Securities. The Capital Securities accrue interest for the first five years at a fixed rate of 7.10%, and subsequently at a floating rate of 1.62% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (‘‘LIBOR’’), and interest is payable quarterly beginning October 1, 2006. The Trust IX Capital Securities will mature on October 1, 2036; however, the Capital Securities may be redeemed at specified prepayment prices (a) in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after October 1, 2011, or (b) in whole or in part within 90 days upon the occurrence of certain legal, regulatory, or tax events.

(12) Earnings per Share (‘‘EPS’’) 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 64 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (12) Earnings per Share (‘‘EPS’’) (Continued) potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The calculation of the basic EPS and the diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 is set forth in the following table: Net Income (Numerator) Shares (Denominator) Per Share Amount (Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) December 31, 2007: Basic EPS Net income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 $4,628,000, $4,685,000 and $4,950,000 were charged to income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, 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. 65 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (14) International Operations (Continued) A summary of assets attributable to international operations at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows: Loans: 2007 2006 (Dollars in Thousands) Commercial . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Revenues directly attributable to international operations were $21,525,000, $20,344,000 and $14,003,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The net deferred tax asset of $211,000 at December 31, 2006 is included in other assets in the consolidated statements of condition. State net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in June 2013 and ending in December 2024. (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, 2007, the options granted under the 2005 Plan have a six-year vesting schedule (5%; 10%; 15%; 20%; 25% and 25%). As of December 31, 2007, 41,772 shares were available for future grants under the 2005 Plan. The Company had previously granted nonqualified stock options exercisable for a total of 154,420 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 were exercisable for a period of seven years and vested 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 remaining options were exercised in July 2007. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (‘‘SFAS No. 123R’’),’’Share-Based Payment, (Revised 2004).’’ SFAS No. 123R sets accounting requirements for ‘‘share-based’’ compensation to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation. The Company chose the modified-prospective transition alternative in adopting SFAS No. 123R. Under the modified-prospective transition method, compensation cost is recognized in financial statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all stock-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption, as well as for any unvested awards that were granted prior to the date of adoption. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected dividend yield and employee termination rates within the valuation model. The expected term of options is derived from the ‘‘simplified’’ method as prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting 68 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (16) Stock Options (Continued) Bulletin No. 107. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of December 31, 2007 there was approximately $1,769,000, of total unrecognized stock- based compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the Company plans that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 because all options granted under the Company’s plans had exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

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, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $10,100,000, $7,800,000 and $7,600,000, respectively.

Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancellable leases greater than one year at December 31, 2007 were $25,600,000. Cash of approximately $65,931,000 and $57,272,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve requirements. The Company’s lead bank subsidiary has invested in partnerships, which have entered into several lease-financing transactions. The lease-financing transactions in two of the partnerships have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (‘‘IRS’’). In both partnerships, the lead bank subsidiary was the owner of a ninety-nine percent (99%) limited partnership interest. The IRS has issued separate Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments (‘‘FPAA’’) to the partnerships and on September 25, 2001, and January 10, 2003, the Company filed lawsuits contesting the adjustments asserted in the FPAAs. Prior to filing the lawsuits the Company was required to deposit the estimated tax due of approximately $4,083,000 with respect to the first FPAA and $7,710,606 with respect to the second FPAA with the IRS pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. If it is determined that the amount of tax due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than the amount of the deposits, the remaining amount of the deposits would be returned to the Company. In order to curtail the accrual of additional interest related to the disputed tax benefits and because interest rates were unfavorable, on March 7, 2003, the Company submitted to the IRS a total of approximately $13.7 million, which constitutes the interest that would have accrued based on the 71 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (17) Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Other Tax Matters (Continued) adjustments proposed in the FPAAs related to both of the lease-financing transactions. If it is determined that the amount of interest due, if any, related to the lease-financing transactions is less than the approximate $13.7 million, the remaining amount of the prepaid interest would be refunded to the Company, plus interest thereon. Beginning August 29, 2005, IBC proceeded to litigate one of the partnership tax cases in the Federal District Court in San Antonio, Texas. The case was tried over nine days beginning August 29, 2005. On March 31, 2006, the trial court rendered a judgment against the Company on the first FPAA. IBC timely filed its notice of appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal was argued on August 8, 2007 and the Trial Court decision was affirmed on August 23, 2007. The judgment became non-appealable on November 21, 2007. The other partnership tax case was stayed by the same Trial Court pending the appeal. Following the resolution of the first case, the trial court reopened the second case and set it for trial on September 2, 2008. The Company, through December 31, 2005, had previously expensed approximately $12.0 million in connection with the lawsuits. Because of the above-referenced trial court judgment against the Company on the first FPAA, the uncertainty of the outcome at the appellate level, and the similarity between the two FPAAs, the Company, as of December 31, 2007, has expensed an additional $13.7 million, approximately. The resultant approximately $25.7 million expensed is the total of the tax adjustments due and the interest due on such adjustments for both FPAAs. Management will continue to evaluate the merits of each lawsuit and make any appropriate revisions to the amounts, as deemed necessary. As part of the LFIN acquisition, two tax matters were transferred to the Company. 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 $7.0 million. At December 31, 2003, LFIN had received approximately $2.0 million of the total refund requested. Because all the refunds are under review by the IRS, LFIN had established a reserve equal to the $2.0 million received and did not recognize any benefit for the remaining $5.0 million. The second tax contingency reserve of $7.0 million was resolved with the IRS in September 2006 and as a result, the second tax contingency reserve is no longer required. The reserve was applied to the goodwill acquired as part of the LFIN acquisition. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company favorably resolved the issues with the IRS on the first tax contingency for approximately $7.0 million plus interest accrued thereon. The Company has applied the refund, including interest accrued prior to the LFIN acquisition, to the goodwill that resulted from the LFIN acquisition. The Company has booked the remaining portion of the interest accrued on the tax matter subsequent to the LFIN acquisition to earnings. (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 $75,129,000 and $48,731,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 72 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (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, 2007, the following financial amounts of instruments, whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding: Commitments to extend credit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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, 2007, the maximum potential amount of future payments is $157,525,000. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of these guarantees is not significant. Unsecured letters of credit totaled $54,461,000 and $45,243,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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. 73 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (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, 2007, the subsidiary banks could pay dividends of up to $135,000,000 to the Company without prior regulatory approval and without adversely affecting their ‘‘well capitalized’’ status. In addition to legal requirements, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the bank subsidiaries’ total capital in relation to their deposits and other factors. These capital adequacy considerations also limit amounts available for payment of dividends. The Company historically has not allowed any subsidiary bank to pay dividends in such a manner as to impair its capital adequacy. The Company and the bank subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy 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, 2007, that the Company and each of the bank subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2007, 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 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 any of the bank subsidiaries as well capitalized. 74 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (20) Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements (Continued) The Company’s and the bank subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios for 2007 are presented in the following table: For Capital Adequacy Purposes To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Actual Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (greater (greater than or than or equal to) equal to) equal to) equal to) (greater than or (greater than or As of December 31, 2007: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): (Dollars in Thousands) Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $889,637 12.99% $547,708 483,532 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . . . . . . . 32,983 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . . . . . . . 12,692 International Bank of Commerce, Zapata . . . . . . . . . . 15,346 Commerce Bank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 686,411 11.36 76,313 18.51 35,102 22.13 47,109 24.56 8.00% 8.00 8.00 8.00 8.00 N/A $604,415 41,229 15,865 19,182 N/A 10.00% 10.00 10.00 10.00 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $820,319 11.98% $273,854 241,766 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . . . . . . . 16,492 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . . . . . . . 6,346 International Bank of Commerce, Zapata . . . . . . . . . . 7,673 Commerce Bank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 625,133 10.34 71,594 17.36 33,845 21.33 45,045 23.48 4.00% 4.00 4.00 4.00 4.00 N/A $362,649 24,738 9,519 11,509 Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $820,319 625,133 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . . . . . . . 71,594 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . . . . . . . 33,845 International Bank of Commerce, Zapata . . . . . . . . . . 45,045 Commerce Bank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.76% $422,929 356,394 7.02 32,581 8.79 15,423 8.78 18,168 9.92 4.00% 4.00 4.00 4.00 4.00 N/A $445,492 40,726 19,278 22,710 N/A 6.00% 6.00 6.00 6.00 N/A 5.00% 5.00 5.00 5.00 75 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (20) Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements (Continued) The Company’s and the bank subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios for 2006 are also presented in the following table: For Capital Adequacy Purposes To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Actual Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (greater (greater than or than or equal to) equal to) equal to) equal to) (greater than or (greater than or As of December 31, 2006: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): (Dollars in Thousands) Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 The carrying amounts of time deposits with banks approximate fair value. 76 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) Investment Securities For investment securities, which include U. S. Treasury securities, obligations of other U. S. government agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions and mortgage pass through and related securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Fair values are based on the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, or estimated transaction costs. See disclosures of fair value of investment securities in Note 3. Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, real estate and consumer loans as outlined by regulatory reporting guidelines. Each category is segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms and by performing and non-performing categories. For variable rate performing loans, the carrying amount approximates the fair value. For fixed rate performing loans, except residential mortgage loans, the fair value is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For performing residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using discount rates based on secondary market sources or the primary origination market. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying amount of fixed rate performing loans was $1,267,033 and $1,259,870,000 respectively, and the estimated fair value was $1,255,581 and $1,237,409,000, respectively. Fair value for significant impaired 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, 2007 and 2006, the net carrying amount of impaired loans was a reasonable estimate of the fair value. Accrued Interest The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate 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, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2007 and 2006, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,352,390,000 and $3,331,991,000, respectively, and the estimated fair value was $3,376,754,000 and $3,337,399,000, 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, 2007 and 2006. 77 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair value at December 31, 2007. 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. 78 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (22) International Bancshares Corporation (Parent Company Only) Financial Information Statements of Condition (Parent Company Only) December 31, 2007 and 2006 (Dollars in Thousands) ASSETS Cash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
