Recent Developments In response to the financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the ‘‘EESA’’) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury was given the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On October 14, 2008, the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury announced that the Department of the Treasury will purchase equity stakes in a wide variety of banks and thrifts. Under the program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the ‘‘TARP Capital Purchase Program’’), from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA, the Treasury made $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the Treasury received, from participating financial institutions, warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions were required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive 3 compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On December 23, 3008, as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement incorporating an attached Securities Purchase Agreement Standard Terms (collectively the ‘‘Securities Purchase Agreement’’) with the Treasury. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on December 23, 2008. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 216,000 shares of the Company’s fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A, par value $.01 per share (the ‘‘Senior Preferred Stock’’), having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for a total price of $216,000,000. The Senior Preferred Stock will pay dividends at the rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. The Senior Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Senior Preferred Stock generally is non-voting except for class voting rights on matters that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may redeem the Senior Preferred Stock in whole or in part at par after three years from the date of the investment. Prior to such date, the Company may redeem the Senior Preferred Stock in whole or in part, at par if (i) the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in excess of $54 million and (ii) the aggregate redemption is subject to the consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, which is the Company’s primary Federal banking regulator. In conjunction with the purchase of the Senior Preferred Stock, the Treasury received a warrant (the ‘‘Warrant’’) to purchase 1,326,238 shares of the Company’s common stock (the ‘‘Warrant Shares’’) at $24.43 per share, which would represent an aggregate common stock investment in the Company on exercise of the warrant in full equal to 15% of the Senior Preferred Stock investment. The term of the Warrant is ten years. The per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilutive provisions in certain events, such as stock splits, certain distributions of securities or other assets to holders of the Company’s common stock, and upon certain issuances of the Company’s common stock at or below specified prices relative to the initial per share exercise price of the Warrant. The Warrant is immediately exercisable. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is also subject to reduction in certain limited events that involve the Company conducting Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009. Both the Senior Preferred Stock and Warrant will be accounted for as components of Tier 1 capital. The Company’s intention is to utilize the extra capital provided by the TARP funds to support its efforts to prudently and transparently provide lending and liquidity. On November 21, 2008, the Board of Directors for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (‘‘FDIC’’) adopted a final rule relating to the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (‘‘TLG Program’’). The TLG Program was announced by the FDIC on October 14, 2008, preceded by the determination of systemic risk by the Secretary of the Department of Treasury (after consultation with the President), as an initiative to counter the system-wide crisis in the nation’s financial sector. Under the TLG Program, the FDIC will (i) guarantee through the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012, certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008, and before June 30, 2009 (the ‘‘Debt Guaranty Program’’) and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (‘‘NOW’’) accounts paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (‘‘IOLTA’’) held at participating FDIC-insured institutions through December 31, 2009 (the ‘‘Transaction Account Guaranty Program’’). Coverage under the TLG Program was available for the first 30 days without charge. The fee assessment for coverage of senior unsecured debt ranges from 50 basis points to 100 basis points per annum, 4 depending on the initial maturity of the debt. The fee assessment for deposit insurance coverage is 10 basis points per quarter on amounts in covered accounts exceeding $250,000. On December 5, 2008, the Company elected to opt out of the Debt Guaranty Program, but the Company will participate in the Transaction Account Guaranty Program. Overview The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with 265 facilities and more than 420 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, 2008 was 13.34% as compared to 13.73% for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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, the Company monitors the efficiency ratio, which is a measure of non-interest expense to net interest income plus non-interest income closely. 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. Additionally, the Company’s efficiency ratio has been negatively impacted over the last few years because of the Company’s aggressive branch expansion which has added a total of 61 branches during 2007 and 2008. During rapid expansion periods, the Company’s efficiency ratio will suffer but the long-term benefits of the expansion should be realized in future periods and the benefits should positively impact the efficiency ratio in future periods. The Company monitors this ratio over time to assess the Company’s efficiency relative to its peers taking into account the Company’s branch expansion. The Company uses this measure as one factor in determining if the Company is accomplishing its long-term goals of providing superior returns to the Company’s shareholders. 5 Results of Operations Summary Consolidated Statements of Condition Information December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007 (Dollars in Thousands) Assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was negatively impacted by increases in the provision for probable loan losses charged to expense. The increase was due to the financial crisis in the United States, which has negatively impacted the Company’s loan portfolio. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was positively affected by the credit for probable 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 sale of certain investment securities 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. 6 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 3.7% compared to the same period in 2006. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was negatively impacted by 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 three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was negatively impacted due to an inverted yield curve and increasing competition for deposits and loans. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was also affected by the Company’s strategic decisions to reduce certain loan and deposit categories acquired from Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’). Net Interest Income Net interest income is the spread between income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets, such as deposits, repurchase agreements and funds borrowed. Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue. Net interest income is affected by both changes in the level of interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

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 decreased 16.4% from 6.82% in 2007 to 7 5.70% in 2008, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 33.4% from 4.01% in 2007 to 2.67% in 2008. 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 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 following table analyzes the changes in net interest income during 2008 and 2007 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: 2008 compared to 2007 Net increase (decrease) due to 2007 compared to 2006 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 8 should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets will re-price faster than liabilities. Conversely, net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of falling interest rates. Management can quickly change the Company’s interest rate position at any given point in time as market conditions dictate. Additionally, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Analytical techniques employed by the Company to supplement gap analysis include simulation analysis to quantify interest rate risk exposure. The gap analysis prepared by management is reviewed by the Investment Committee of the Company twice a year. The Investment Committee is comprised of certain senior managers of the various Company bank subsidiaries along with consultants. Management currently believes that the Company is properly positioned for interest rate changes; however, if management determines at any time that the Company is not properly positioned, it will strive to adjust the interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to manage the effect of interest rate changes. At December 31, 2008, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up will vary net interest income by 5.17%, while a rate shift of 100 basis points down will not vary net interest income by more than .18% of projected 2009 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 Probable 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: 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 December 31, Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis . . . . . .

The provision (credit) for probable loan losses charged to expense increased $21,575,000 to $19,813,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $(1,762,000) for the same period in 2007. The Company’s provision for probable loan losses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 in part because of the economic turmoil in the United States resulting in a slowdown in the general economic activity in the areas the Company serves. The Company has continued to re-evaluate certain areas of concentrations within the Company’s allowance for probable loan losses to reflect the appropriate amount needed in the allowance. The decrease in the allowance for probable loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2007, can be attributed to the charge off of loans acquired as part of the LFIN acquisition. The Company did experience good results from the loan portfolio during 2007; provided however, the subsequent subprime crisis occurred and other unforeseen events in the United States economy rapidly deteriorated causing the provision for probable loan losses to increase rapidly. The allowance for probable loan losses was 1.25% of total loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2008 and 1.11% at December 31, 2007. 9 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, 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis . . . . . . . . . . . . Accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more $530 (Dollars in Thousands) $12,946 $4,298 $722 $13,741 as to interest or principal payments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66 510 199 608 104 The gross income that would have been recorded during 2008 and 2007 on non-accrual and restructured loans in accordance with their original contract terms was $6,148,000 and $922,000 on domestic loans and $94,000 and $1,023,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on such loans that was recognized in 2008 and 2007 was $193,000 and $1,716,000 on domestic loans and $0 and $310,000 for foreign loans, respectively. The non-accrual loan policy of the bank subsidiaries is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans when management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be uncollectible. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent payments are received or when, in management’s opinion, the creditor’s financial condition warrants reestablishment of interest accruals. Under special circumstances, a loan may be more than 90 days delinquent as to interest or principal and not be placed on non-accrual status. This situation generally results when a bank subsidiary has a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, but not to the extent that requires a restructuring of indebtedness. The majority of this category is composed of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for which there has been a recent history of payments. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued, not paid is reversed and charged to operations against interest income. Loan commitments, consisting of unused commitments to lend, letters of credit, credit card lines and other approved loans, that have not been funded, were $1,914,733,000 and $2,066,859,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The allowances are established through charges to operations in the form of provisions for probable loan losses. 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. The reserve allocated to all categories of loans increased approximately $11.7 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase in the reserve occurred as the result of the deterioration of economic conditions in 2008. The reserve allocated to Commercial and Real Estate - Construction loans increased from 2007 to 2008 primarily due to increases in impaired loans in which a specified valuation allowance was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114. Please refer to Note 5 - Allowance for Probable Loan Losses in the accompanying Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements. 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 probable loan losses can be made only on a subjective basis. It is the judgment of the Company’s management that the allowance for probable loan losses at December 31, 2008 was adequate to absorb probable losses from loans in the portfolio at that date.

The loss in the investment securities transactions for the year ended December 31, 2007 can be attributed to a $17.0 million impairment charge recorded in connection with certain investment securities identified for sale in the first quarter 2007 and the sale of certain equity investments. The impairment charge in 2007 was the result of the Company’s strategic sale of certain investment securities with the proceeds from the sales used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’) borrowings. The investments identified were certain hybrid mortgage backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a weighted average yield to coupon re-set that was approximately 100 basis points less than the FHLB certificate of indebtedness short-term rate. The sale of the securities facilitated a re-positioning of the balance sheet to a more neutral position in terms of interest rate risk and was done to improve the Company’s operating ratios. As a result of this decision, the Company marked the securities to market. The increase in banking service charges, commissions and fees for the year ended December 31, 2008 can be attributed to increased surcharge and interchange income from customers using the IBC debit card and automated teller machines (ATM). The increase in service charges on deposit accounts can be attributed partially to the Company’s sales programs and the additional accounts created as a result of those programs. 13 Non-Interest Expense Employee compensation and benefits . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The aggressive de novo branching adds additional expenses in employee compensation, occupancy and depreciation prior to the additional revenue that is generated from the branch to offset the additional expenses. The Company deems expense control as an essential element in the Company’s profitability bearing in mind the effects of aggressive de novo branching. Expense control is achieved through maintaining optimum staffing levels, an effective budgeting process, and internal consolidation of bank functions. 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 probable 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. 14 Financial Condition Investment Securities The following table sets forth the carrying value of investment securities as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006: December 31, 2008 2007 2006 (Dollars in Thousands) U.S. Treasury Securities Available for sale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,319 $ 1,308 $ 1,268 Mortgage-backed securities Available for sale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4,974,317 4,066,829 4,376,284 Obligations of states and political subdivisions Available for sale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 82,214 84,633 95,897 Equity securities Available for sale . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14,030 13,500 14,629 Other securities Held to maturity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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, 2008 were $6,858,784,000 decrease of 4.2% from $7,157,606,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in deposits from 2007 to 2008 is primarily the result of current market conditions which have created enormous pressure to pay rates above what would be typically customary in the current rate environment as well as the lack of secondary funding markets that institutions rely upon for funding their lending and investment activities. As a result of these pressures, many institutions have paid excessively for certain deposits thereby forcing the Company to not compete to retain certain deposits. Return on Equity and Assets Certain key ratios for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 follows (Note 1): Years ended December 31, 2008 2007 2006 Percentage of net income to: Average shareholders’ equity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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%, of the Company’s bank subsidiaries’ total deposits at each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. Other important funding sources for the Company’s bank subsidiaries have been borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (‘‘FHLB’’), securities sold under repurchase agreements and large certificates of deposit, requiring management to closely monitor its asset/liability mix in terms of both rate sensitivity and maturity distribution. Primary liquidity of the Company and its subsidiaries has been maintained by means of increased investment in shorter-term securities, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. As in the past, the Company will continue to monitor the volatility and cost of funds in an attempt to match maturities of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, and respond accordingly to anticipate 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. 20 The net interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2008, 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.

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 21 focuses on the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time in a motion picture rather than snapshot fashion. Finally, income simulation analysis permits management to assess the probable effects on balance sheet items not only of changes in market interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to such changes. The Company and many other institutions rely primarily upon income simulation analysis in measuring and managing exposure to interest rate risk. At December 31, 2008, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 200 basis points in interest rates up will vary projected 2009 net interest income by 5.17%, while a rate shift of 100 basis points down will not vary net interest income by more than .18% of projected 2009 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, 2008, the aggregate amount legally available to be distributed to the Company from bank subsidiaries as dividends was approximately $237,000,000, 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 $981,876,000 as of December 31, 2008. The undivided profits of the bank subsidiaries were approximately $627,902,000 as of December 31, 2008. Additionally, as a result of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company is restricted in the payment of dividends and may not without the Treasury Department’s consent, declare or pay any dividend on the Company Common Stock other than a regular semi-annual cash dividend of not more than $.33 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividend or stock split. The restriction ceases to exist only on the earlier to occur of December 23, 2011 or the date on which the Company has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued as part of the Capital Purchase Program or the date on which the Treasury has transferred all of the Preferred Stock to third parties affiliated with the Treasury. At December 31, 2008, the Company has outstanding $2,522,986,000 in other borrowed funds and $201,048,000 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, 2008, shareholders’ equity was $1,257,297,000 compared to $935,905,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $321,392,000, or 34.3%. Shareholders’ equity increased primarily due to the issuance of $216,000,000 of Series A Preferred Shares to the Treasury as part of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program and 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. 22 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 9.97% at December 31, 2008 and 7.76% at December 31, 2007. The large increase in the Company’s leverage ratio is primarily due to the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s CPP program. The core deposit intangibles and goodwill of $309,917,000 as of December 31, 2008, 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 leverage ratio of 5%. The Company had risk-weighted Tier 1 capital ratios of 15.30% and 11.98% and risk weighted total capital ratios of 16.35% and 12.99% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 2008 and 2007 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, 2008, the Debentures issued by four of the trusts formed by the Company and the Debentures issued by all three of the trusts formed by LFIN have been redeemed by the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $201,048,000. As a result of participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company may not without the consent of the Treasury Department redeem any of the Debentures until the earlier to occur of December 23, 2011, or the date on which the Company has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Capital Purchase Program or the date on which the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties not affiliated with the Treasury. 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 23 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. As of December 31, 2008, the total $201,048,000, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital. In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that allowed the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but placed 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, 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. 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.

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 Probable Loan Losses as a policy critical to the sound operations of the bank subsidiaries. The allowance for probable 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 probable loan losses. Loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowances. The allowance for probable 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 25 factors both internal and external to the Company. See also discussion regarding the allowance for probable loan losses and provision for probable loan losses included in the results of operations and ‘‘Provision and Allowance for Probable 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 Company’s 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, 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. 26 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, Premier Tierra Holdings, Inc. 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 probable 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) Fair Value—Financial Instruments Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (‘‘SFAS No. 157’’), ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-2, (‘‘FSP No. 157-2’’), ‘‘Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157,’’ the Company will delay application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels: (cid:127) Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. (cid:127) Level 2 Inputs—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. (cid:127) Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or other valuation techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy is set forth below. The following table represents assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of December 31, 2008 by level within the SFAS No. 157 fair value measurement hierarchy: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair Value December 31, 2008 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (Dollars in Thousands) Measured on a recurring basis: Assets: Investment securities available-for-sale . . $5,071,880 $530 $5,071,350 $ — Measured on a non-recurring basis: Assets: Impaired Loans . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116,482 — — 116,482 42 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investment securities available-for-sale are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, with the exception of certain equity investments that are classified within Level 1. The Company obtains fair value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s Financial instruments measured at fair value on a non- recurring basis are limited to impaired loans. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of impaired loans is derived in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (‘‘SFAS No. 114’’), ‘‘Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.’’ The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral, as determined through an external appraisal process, discounted based on internal criteria. Impaired loans are primarily comprised of collateral-dependent commercial loans. Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). 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, 2008. Mortgage-backed securities held at December 31, 2008 and 2007 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 the Government National Mortgage Association (‘‘Ginnie Mae’’) or other (‘‘Fannie Mae’’), non-government entities. 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 carry an implied AAA rating with limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship by the federal government in early September 2008. 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 43 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 Probable Loan Losses The allowance for probable 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 probable loan losses is the amount, which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to establish the allowance for probable loan losses at a level that is adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the allowance for probable 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 probable 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 44 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 probable 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. Other real estate owned totaled $27,733,000 and $2,363,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Other real estate owned is included in other assets. 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. 45 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 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-Scholes- 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. 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 46 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) occurred. As of December 31, 2008, 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 and contract rights. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has determined that no impairment of identified intangibles exists. 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 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 47 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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. 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 or total assets. 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 48 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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. 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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The impact of the adoption of the new accounting standard was not significant. 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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of the new accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company’s Financial statements. 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. 49 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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 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 March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (‘‘SFAS No. 161’’), ‘‘Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.’’ SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 to provide greater transparency about how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the financial statements upon the adoption of this new standard. In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162 (‘‘SFAS No. 162’’), ‘‘The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.’’ SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The hierarchy guidance provided by SFAS No. 162 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. (2) Acquisitions On December 4, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of certain rights to InsCorp, Inc. insurance contracts for $1,074,000. InsCorp, Inc. is a multiline independently owned insurance agency, which insures oil operators, merchants and industrial businesses. 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. 50 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities The amortized cost and estimated fair value by type of investment security at December 31, 2008 are as follows: Held to Maturity Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Estimated fair value Carrying value (Dollars in Thousands) Other securities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 carry an implied AAA rating with limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship by the federal government in early September 2008. 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 $4,255,447,000 and $4,297,440,000, respectively, at December 31, 2008. Proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale were $8,376,000, $841,084,000 and $60,477,000 during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which amounts included $0, $838,561,000 and $61,377,000 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 52 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities (Continued) 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 are expected to 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. Gross gains of $6,427,000, $2,431,000 and $412,000 and gross losses of $0, $18,369,000 and $1,342,000 were realized on the sales in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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, 2008 were as follows: Available for sale: Mortgage-backed 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 53 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (3) Investment Securities (Continued) carry an implied AAA rating with limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship by the federal government in early September 2008. The decrease in fair value on mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae is due to market interest rates. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity of the securities; therefore, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments in mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. In addition, the Company has a minor investment in non-agency mortgage-backed securities that have strong credit backgrounds and include additional credit enhancements to protect the Company from losses arising from high foreclosure rates. These securities have additional market volatility beyond economically induced interest rate events. The Company has received principal and interest payments in line with expected cash flows at the time of purchase. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the non-agency mortgage-backed securities until a market price recovery or maturity and has continued to receive cash as expected; therefore, it is the conclusion of the Company that the investments in non-agency mortgage-backed securities are not 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, 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 $6,242,000, $1,378,000 and $1,868,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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 principal or interest payments at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $6,274,000, $21,840,000 and $9,400,000, respectively. 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: 2008 2007 2006 (Dollars in Thousands) Balance of impaired loans where there is a related allowance for loan loss . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $137,153 $39,618 $22,909 Balance of impaired loans where there is no related allowance for loan loss . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27,786 — — Total impaired loans . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $164,939 $39,618 $22,909 Allowance allocated to impaired loans . . . . . . . . . . $ 20,671 $ 4,903 $ 7,171 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 $93,654,000, $22,590,000, and $25,684,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired loans was $236,000, $1,989,000 and $404,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The increase in the balance of impaired loans can be 55 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (5) Allowance for Probable Loan Losses (Continued) partially attributed to certain loans that filed for bankruptcy protection and a loan relationship that deteriorated during 2008. A substantial amount of the impaired loans have adequate collateral and credit enhancements to not require a related allowance for loan loss. 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 Company has no direct exposure to sub-prime loans, in its loan portfolio, but the sub-prime crisis has affected the credit markets on a national level, and as a result, the Company has experienced an increasing amount of impaired loans; however, management’s decision to place loans in this category does not necessarily mean that the Company will experience significant losses from these loans. The bank subsidiaries charge off that portion of any loan which management considers to represent a loss as well as that portion of any other loan which is classified as a ‘‘loss’’ by bank examiners. Commercial and industrial or real estate loans are generally considered by management to represent a loss, in whole or part, when an exposure beyond any collateral coverage is apparent and when no further collection of the loss portion is anticipated based on the borrower’s financial condition and general economic conditions in the borrower’s industry. Generally, unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when 90 days past due. While management of the Company considers that it is generally able to identify borrowers with financial problems reasonably early and to monitor credit extended to such borrowers carefully, there is no precise method of predicting loan losses. The determination that a loan is likely to be un-collectible and that it should be wholly or partially charged-off as a loss is an exercise of judgment. Similarly, the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for probable loan losses can be made only on a subjective basis. It is the judgment of the Company’s management that the allowance for probable loan losses at December 31, 2008 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, 2008, the Debentures issued by four of the trusts formed by the Company and the Debentures issued by all three of the trusts formed by LFIN have been redeemed by the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $201,048,000. As a result of participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company may not, without the consent of the Treasury Department, redeem any of the Debentures until the earlier to occur of December 23, 2011, or the date on which the Company has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Capital Purchase Program or the date on which the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties not affiliated with the Treasury. 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 61 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Continued) 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. As of December 31, 2008, the total $201,048,000, of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as Tier 1 capital. In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that allowed the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but placed 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, 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. 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 62 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (11) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Continued) September 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 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 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 computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The calculation of the basic EPS and the diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 is set forth in the following table: Net Income (Numerator) Shares (Denominator) Per Share Amount (Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) December 31, 2008: 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 $4,683,000, $4,628,000 and $4,685,000 were charged to income for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, 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. 64 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, 2008 and 2007 are as follows: Loans: 2008 2007 (Dollars in Thousands) Commercial . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The letters of credit are issued primarily in conjunction with credit facilities, which are available to various Mexican banks doing business with the Company. Revenues directly attributable to international operations were $17,084,000, $21,525,000 and $20,344,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(16) Stock Options On April 1, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 International Bancshares Corporation Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘2005 Plan’’). Effective May 19, 2008, the 2005 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for stock option grants under the 2005 Plan by 300,000 shares. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1996 International Bancshares Corporation Key Contributor Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘1996 Plan’’). Under the 2005 Plan, both qualified incentive stock options (‘‘ISOs’’) and non-qualified stock options (‘‘NQSOs’’) may be granted. Options granted may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant, excluding ISOs granted to 10% shareholders, which may be exercisable for a period of up to only five years. As of December 31, 2008, 368,197 shares were available for future grants under the 2005 Plan. 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 historical exercise behavior. 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, 2008 there was approximately $1,113,000, 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 1.4 years. A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested options as of December 31, 2008, and changes during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, is presented below: Non-vested Options Non-vested options at December 31, 2007 . . . . . . . . . . . .

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, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $11,700,000, $10,100,000 and $7,800,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments due under non-cancellable operating leases at December 31, 2008 were as follows: Fiscal year ending: 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2010 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2011 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2012 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2013 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Total (in thousands) $ 9,541 8,510 6,644 3,979 2,373 6,104 $37,151 It is expected that certain leases will be renewed, as these leases expire. Aggregate future minimum rentals to be received under non-cancellable sub-leases greater than one year at December 31, 2008 were $13,300,000. Cash of approximately $60,405,000 and $65,931,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 issued a 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 69 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 case was stayed by the same Trial Court pending the appeal. Following the resolution of the first case, the trial court reopened the second case and set it for trial on September 2, 2008. Subsequently, the Company engaged in settlement negotiations with the Department of Justice, and agreed to settle the second case. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company has conceded the entire amount in dispute based upon the similarity of the facts of the second case to the first case and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome if litigated based upon the Court rulings in the first case. On August 13, 2008, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Texas State District Court in Laredo, Texas against KPMG, LLP and a number of other third parties asserting claims against the defendants related to the underlying transactions of the two partnership tax cases. The Company is currently pursuing settlement discussions with a number of the defendants and reached a settlement agreement with KPMG, LLP on January 16, 2009. 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 and the similarity between the two FPAAs, the Company additionally expensed an approximate $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. The resultant approximately $25.7 million expensed is the total of the tax adjustments due and the interest due on such adjustments for both FPAAs. Management will continue to evaluate the correspondence with the IRS on the FPAAs and make any appropriate revisions to the amounts as deemed necessary. (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 $79,438,000 and $76,711,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. (19) Financial Instruments with Off-Statement of Condition Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk In the normal course of business, the bank subsidiaries are party to financial instruments with off-statement of condition risk to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to their customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of condition. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the bank subsidiaries have in particular 70 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 (Continued) classes of financial instruments. At December 31, 2008, 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, 2008, the maximum potential amount of future payments is $137,708,000. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of these guarantees is not significant. Unsecured letters of credit totaled $28,771,000 and $54,461,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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. 71 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (20) Capital Requirements On December 23, 3008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the ‘‘TARP Capital Purchase Program’’) of the United States Department of the Treasury (‘‘Treasury’’), the Company entered into a Letter Agreement incorporating an attached Securities Purchase Agreement— Standard Terms (collectively, the ‘‘Securities Purchase Agreement’’) with the Treasury. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the Securities Purchase Agreement occurred on December 23, 2008. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 216,000 shares of the Company’s fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A, par value $.01 per share (the ‘‘Senior Preferred Stock’’), having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for a total price of $216,000,000. The Senior Preferred Stock will pay dividends at the rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. The Senior Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Senior Preferred Stock generally is non-voting except for class voting rights on matters that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock. The Senior Preferred Stock qualifies for inclusion in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes and the issuance of the Senior Preferred Stock increased the capital ratios of the Company. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may redeem the Senior Preferred Stock in whole or in part at par after three years from the date of the investment. Prior to such date, the Company may redeem the Senior Preferred Stock in whole or in part, at par if (i) the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in excess of $54 million and (ii) the aggregate redemption is subject to the consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, which is the Company’s primary Federal banking regulator. In conjunction with the purchase of the Senior Preferred Stock, the Treasury received a warrant (the ‘‘Warrant’’) to purchase 1,326,238 shares of the Company’s common stock (the ‘‘Warrant Shares’’) at $24.43 per share, which would represent an aggregate common stock investment in the Company on exercise of the warrant in full equal to 15% of the Senior Preferred Stock investment. The term of the Warrant is ten years. The per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilutive provisions in certain events, such as stock splits, certain distributions of securities or other assets to holders of the Company’s common stock, and upon certain issuances of the Company’s common stock at or below specified prices relative to the initial per share exercise price of the Warrant. The Warrant is immediately exercisable. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is also subject to reduction in certain limited events that involve the Company conducting Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009. Both the Senior Preferred Stock and Warrant will be accounted for as components of Tier 1 capital. 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, 2008, the subsidiary banks could pay dividends of up to $237,000,000 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. 72 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (20) Capital Requirements (Continued) 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. Additionally, as a result of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company is restricted in the payment of dividends and may not, without Treasury Department’s consent, declare or pay any dividend on the Company Common Stock other than a regular semi-annual dividend of not more than $.33 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividend or stock split. The restriction ceases to exist only on the earlier to occur of December 23, 2011 or the date on which the Company has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued as part of the Capital Purchase Program or the date on which the Treasury has transferred all of the Preferred Stock to third parties not affiliated with the Treasury. Also, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock would have to be fully paid before the Company paid any dividends on its Common Stock. A company that participates in the TARP Capital Purchase Program must adopt certain standards for executive compensation under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ‘‘ARRA’’) which was signed into law on February 17, 2009. While the U.S. Treasury must promulgate regulations to implement the executive compensation restrictions and standards set forth in the ARRA, the new law significantly expands the executive compensation restrictions previously imposed by the EESA. Such restrictions apply to any entity that has received or will receive funds under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, and shall generally continue to apply for as long as any obligation arising from securities issued under TARP, including preferred stock issued under the Capital Purchase Program, remain outstanding. These ARRA restrictions shall not apply to any TARP Capital Purchase Program recipient during such time when the federal government (i) only holds any warrants to purchase common stock of such recipient or (ii) holds no preferred stock or warrants to purchase common stock of such recipient. As a result of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the restrictions and standards set forth in the ARRA shall be applicable to the Company, subject to regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury. Pursuant to the provisions of the ARRA, the Company shall be permitted to repay the $216 million it received under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve, without regard to certain repayment restrictions in the Securities Purchase Agreement, in accordance with regulations that have not, yet, been promulgated by the Treasury Department. 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, 2008, that the Company and each of the bank subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2008, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized all the bank subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for 73 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (20) Capital Requirements (Continued) prompt corrective action. To be categorized as ‘‘well capitalized’’ the Company and the bank subsidiaries must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the categorization of the Company or any of the bank subsidiaries as well capitalized. The Company’s and the bank subsidiaries’ actual capital amounts and ratios for 2008 are presented in the following table: Actual For Capital Adequacy Purposes To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (greater than (greater than (greater than (greater than or equal to) or equal to) or equal to) or equal to) As of December 31, 2008: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): (Dollars in Thousands) Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,205,014 16.35% $589,741 519,556 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . 37,589 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . . 13,207 International Bank of Commerce, Zapata . . . . . 15,042 Commerce Bank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 804,621 12.39 89,087 18.96 42,120 25.51 53,451 28.43 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,128,057 15.30% $294,870 259,778 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . 18,795 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . . 6,604 International Bank of Commerce, Zapata . . . . . 7,521 Commerce Bank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 736,263 11.34 83,998 17.88 40,634 24.61 51,427 27.35 Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): Consolidated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,128,057 International Bank of Commerce, Laredo . . . . 736,263 International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville . .

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. 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 75 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) ownership of a financial instrument, probable 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, 2008 and 2007, the carrying amount of fixed rate performing loans was $1,272,370,000 and $1,385,715,000 respectively, and the estimated fair value was $1,253,496,000 and $1,372,652,000, respectively. Fair value for significant impaired loans is based on recent external appraisals, discounted based on internal criteria. 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, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008 and 2007, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,317,512,000 and $3,352,390,000, respectively, and the estimated fair value was $3,343,150,000 and $3,376,754,000, 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, 2008 and 2007. Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures The Company currently has fixed and floating junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures outstanding. Due to the contractual terms of the floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, the carrying amounts approximated fair value at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. 76 INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (21) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) The fair value of the fixed junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures is based on established market spreads to the debentures. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying amount of fixed junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures was $139,190,000 and $139,154,000, respectively, and the estimated fair value was $44,704,000 and $139,566,000, respectively. 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. 77 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, 2008 and 2007 (Dollars in Thousands) ASSETS Cash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
