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

Management’s discussion and analysis represents an explanation of significant changes in the financial
position  and  results  of  operations  of  International  Bancshares  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  (the
‘‘Company’’ or the ‘‘Corporation’’) on a consolidated basis for the three-year period ended December 31,
2009.  The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2009,  and  the  Selected  Financial  Data  and  Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere  herein.

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding  Forward Looking Information

Certain  matters  discussed  in  this  report,  excluding  historical  information,  include  forward-looking
statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E

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

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

limitation, changes in the accounting, tax and regulatory treatment of trust preferred securities, as
well as changes in banking, tax, securities,  insurance and employment  laws and  regulations.

(cid:129) Changes  in  U.S.—Mexico  trade,  including,  without  limitation,  reductions  in  border  crossings  and
commerce  resulting  from  the  Homeland  Security  Programs  called  ‘‘US-VISIT,’’  which  is  derived
from Section 110 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.

(cid:129) The loss of senior management or  operating personnel.

(cid:129) Increased competition from both within  and outside the banking  industry.

securities  available-for-sale  portfolio  following  a  determination  that  the  securities  are  other-than-
temporarily impaired.

(cid:129) The  effect  of  changes  in  accounting  policies  and  practices  as  may  be  adopted  by  the  regulatory
agencies,  as  well  as  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board,  the  Financial  Accounting

Recent  Developments

On December 23, 2008, 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 sold 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

3

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. To date, the Company has not redeemed  any  of  the Senior Preferred Stock.

Overview

The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with 280 facilities and more than 435 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  liquidating
subsidiary, a broker/dealer and a fifty percent 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,  2009  was
11.10% as compared to 13.34% for the year ended  December  31, 2008.

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  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  34
branches during 2008 and 2009. 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.

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by 8.0% compared to the same period in
2008  despite  the  $25.4  million,  after  tax,  increase  in  the  provision  for  probable  loan  losses  charged  to
expense  during  2009.  Additionally,  an  industry-wide  FDIC  special  assessment  negatively  impacted  the
Company’s  earnings  by  $3.3  million,  after  tax  in  the  second  quarter.  The  increase  in  the  provision  was
prompted  by  management’s  analysis  of  the  general  weakness  in  the  economy  and  the  impact  of  that
weakness  on  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio  and  the  related  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses.
Additionally,  net  income  for  2009  was  positively  affected  by  the  increasing  net  interest  margin  of  the
Company.  While  the  Texas  and  Oklahoma  economies  are  performing  better  than  other  parts  of  the
country,  Texas  and  Oklahoma  are  not  immune  to  the  problems  associated  with  the  U.S.  economy.  The
substantial  increase  in  the  provision  for  probable  loan  losses  is  not  necessarily  an  indicator  that  more
credits will worsen to the point that the Company will have to continue to record provisions for probable
loan losses at these levels in future periods.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was also negatively impacted by increases in the
provision for probable loan losses charged to expense. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007

5

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.

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.

For  the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2009,  as  short  term  interest  rates  have  fluctuated,  the
Company has monitored and adjusted interest rates on loans and deposits accordingly. 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 9.3% from 5.70% in 2008 to 5.17%
in 2009, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 40.4% from 2.67% in 2008 to
1.59% in 2009. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 16.4% from 6.82% in 2007 to 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  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 2009 and 2008 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:

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

As part of 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

7

gap analysis. A gap is the difference between the amount of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate
sensitive  liabilities  that  re-price  or  mature  in  a  given  time  period.  Positive  gaps  occur  when  interest  rate
sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, and negative gaps occur when interest rate sensitive
liabilities  exceed  interest  rate  sensitive  assets.  A  positive  gap  position  in  a  period  of  rising  interest  rates
should have a positive effect on net interest income as assets will re-price faster than liabilities. Conversely,
net interest income should contract somewhat in a period of falling interest rates. Management can quickly
change  the  Company’s  interest  rate  position  at  any  given  point  in  time  as  market  conditions  dictate.
Additionally, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same
time.  Analytical  techniques  employed  by  the  Company  to  supplement  gap  analysis  include  simulation
analysis to quantify interest rate risk exposure. The gap analysis prepared by management is reviewed by
the  Investment  Committee  of  the  Company  twice  a  year.  The  Investment  Committee  is  comprised  of
certain  senior  managers  of  the  various  Company  bank  subsidiaries  along  with  consultants.  Management
currently  believes  that  the  Company  is  properly  positioned  for  interest  rate  changes;  however,  if
management determines at any time that the Company is not properly positioned, it will strive to adjust the
interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities  in  order  to  manage the effect of interest rate changes.

At December 31, 2009, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 300 basis points in interest rates up
will vary net interest income by 1.89%, while a rate shift of 100 basis points down will not vary net interest
income by more than .18% of projected 2010 net interest income. The basis point shift in interest rates is a
hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate risk, and does not necessarily represent management’s current
view of future market developments. The Company believes that it is properly positioned for a potential
interest rate increase or decrease.

The  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses  increased  29.9%  to  $95,393,000  at  December  31,  2009  from
$73,461,000  at  December  31,  2008.  The  provision  for  probable  loan  losses  charged  to  expense  increased
$39,020,000 to $58,833,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $19,813,000 for the same period in
2008. The Company’s provision for probable loan losses increased for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, prompted by the analysis of management regarding the weakness in the overall economy and the
impact  of  that  weakness  on  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio  and  the  related  allowance  for  probable  loan
losses. While the Texas and Oklahoma economies are performing better than other parts of the country,
Texas and Oklahoma are not immune to the problems associated with the U.S. economy. The decrease in
the allowance for probable loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2007, can be partially attributed to
the charge off of loans acquired as part of the LFIN acquisition. The allowance for probable loan losses
was 1.68% of total loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2009 and 1.25% at December 31, 2008.

The  gross  income  that  would  have  been  recorded  during  2009  and  2008  on  non-accrual  and
restructured  loans  in  accordance  with  their  original  contract  terms  was  $4,008,000  and  $6,148,000  on
domestic loans and $3,000 and $94,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on
such loans that was recognized in 2009 and 2008 was $547,000 and $193,000 on domestic loans and $0 and
$0 for foreign loans, respectively.

Generally,  loans  are  placed  on  non-accrual  status  if  principal  or  interest  payments  become  90  days
past due and/or management deem the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as
well  as  when  required  by  applicable  regulatory  guidelines.  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 $1,349,516,000 and $1,914,733,000 at December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. See Note  20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

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 allowance for probable loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for probable loan
losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable loan losses within the
existing  portfolio  of  loans.  The  Company’s  allowance  for  probable  loan  loss  methodology  is  based  on
guidance provided in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, ‘‘Selected
Loan  Loss  Allowance  Methodology  and  Documentation  Issues’’  and  includes  allowance  allocations
calculated  in  accordance  with  ASC  310,  ‘‘Receivables’’  and  ASC  450,  ‘‘Contingencies.’’  The  reserve
allocated  to  all  categories  of  loans  increased  approximately  $21.9  million  from  2008  to  2009  and
$11.7 million from 2007 to 2008. The increase in the reserve occurred as the result of the deterioration of
economic conditions in 2008 that continue in to occur in 2009. 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 ASC 310-10. 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,  2009  was  adequate  to  absorb  probable  losses  from  loans  in  the  portfolio  at  that  date.  See
Critical Accounting Policies on page 24. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating
the adequacy of the allowance for probable loan losses change, the Company’s estimate of probable loan
losses could also change, which could  affect  the level  of future  provisions for probable loan losses.

The  increase  in  investment  securities  transactions  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2009  can  be
attributed  to  the  sale  of  investment  securities  resulting  in  a  gain  of  $12.0  million,  before  taxes.  Non-
banking  service  charges,  commissions  and  fees  2009  was  positively  impacted  by  the  results  of  a  wholly
owned  insurance  subsidiary  of  the  Company’s  lead  bank.  During  2008,  the  Company  sold  certain  equity
securities resulting in a gain of $6.2 million, before taxes. 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, 2009 and 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.

Non-interest expense was affected by the aggressive de novo branching activity that has added 16 new
branches  in  2009  and  18  branches  in  2008.  As  a  result  of  the  branch  expansion,  employee  compensation
increased due to staffing of these branches. Deposit insurance assessment expense for the twelve months
ended  December  31,  2009  was  negatively  impacted  by  the  FDIC  special  assessment.  In  May  2009,  the
FDIC  issued  a  final  rule  which  levied  a  special  assessment  on  all  insured  depository  institutions  totaling
five basis points of each institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009 that was collected on
September 30, 2009. The special assessment is part of the FDIC’s efforts to re-build the Deposit Insurance
Fund (‘‘DIF’’). The Company accrued $5.1 million related to the special assessment. In October 2009, the
FDIC  issued  a  final  rule  that  financial  institutions  prepay  their  quarterly  assessments  for  the  next
three years in an effort to shore up the DIF. The rule required banks to prepay their quarterly risk-based
assessments  for  the  fourth  quarter  of  2009,  and  all  of  2010,  2011  and  2012  on  December  30,  2009.  The
Company also paid additional fees related to its participation in the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guaranty
Program, which provides full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing accounts through
June  30,  2010  (extended  from  December  31,  2009).  The  fee  assessment  for  such  accounts  was  ten  basis
points per quarter in 2009 and increased to fifteen basis points per quarter in 2010 on amounts in covered
accounts exceeding $250,000.

Effects of Inflation

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

Mortgage-backed  securities  are  securities  primarily  issued  by  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation  (‘‘Freddie  Mac’’),  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (‘‘Fannie  Mae’’),  and  the
Government National Mortgage Association (‘‘Ginnie Mae’’). Investments in mortgage-backed securities
issued  by  Ginnie  Mae  are  fully  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government.  Investments  in  mortgage-backed
securities  issued  by  Freddie  Mac  and  Fannie  Mae  are  not  fully  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government,  but
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.

International Operations

On December 31, 2009, the Company had $280,485,000 (2.4% of total assets) in loans outstanding to
borrowers  domiciled  in  foreign  countries,  which  included  primarily  borrowers  domiciled  in  Mexico.  The
loan  policies  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  generally  require  that  loans  to  borrowers  domiciled  in
foreign countries be primarily secured by assets located in the United States or have credit enhancements,
in the form of guarantees, from significant United States corporations. The composition of such loans and
the related amounts of allocated allowance for probable loan losses as of December 31, 2009 is presented

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. The
Company  relies  primarily  on  its  high  quality  customer  service,  sales  programs,  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, 2009 were $7,178,007,000, an increase of
4.7% from $6,858,784,000 at December  31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The  maintenance  of  adequate  liquidity  provides  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  with  the  ability  to
meet  potential  depositor  withdrawals,  provide  for  customer  credit  needs,  maintain  adequate  statutory
reserve  levels  and  take  full  advantage  of  high-yield  investment  opportunities  as  they  arise.  Liquidity  is
afforded  by  access  to  financial  markets  and  by  holding  appropriate  amounts  of  liquid  assets.  The
Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  derive  their  liquidity  largely  from  deposits  of  individuals  and  business
entities. Deposits from persons and entities domiciled in Mexico comprise a stable portion of the deposit
base of the Company’s bank subsidiaries. Historically, the Mexico based deposits of the Company’s bank
subsidiaries have been a stable source of funding. Such deposits comprised approximately 31%, 30%, and
30%  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries’  total  deposits  at  each  of  the  years  ended  December  31,  2009,
2008  and  2007,  respectively.  Other  important  funding  sources  for  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  have
been  borrowings  from  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (‘‘FHLB’’),  securities  sold  under  repurchase
agreements and large certificates of deposit, requiring management to closely monitor its asset/liability mix
in  terms  of  both  rate  sensitivity  and  maturity  distribution.  Primary  liquidity  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries has been 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

18

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.

The  net  interest  rate  sensitivity  at  December  31,  2009,  is  illustrated  in  the  following  table.  This
information reflects the balances of assets and liabilities whose rates are subject to change. As indicated in
the  table  on  the  following  page,  the  Company  is  liability-sensitive  during  the  early  time  periods  and  is
asset-sensitive in the longer periods. The table shows the sensitivity of the statement of condition at one
point in time and is not necessarily indicative of the  position at future dates.

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

Accordingly,  income  simulation  analysis  captures  not  only  the  potential  of  assets  and  liabilities  to
mature  or  re-price,  but  also  the  probability  that  they  will  do  so.  Moreover,  income  simulation  analysis
focuses  on  the  relative  sensitivities  of  these  balance  sheet  items  and  projects  their  behavior  over  an
extended  period  of  time  in  a  motion  picture  rather  than  snapshot  fashion.  Finally,  income  simulation
analysis permits management to assess the probable effects on balance sheet items not only of changes in
market interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to such changes. The Company and
many  other  institutions  rely  primarily  upon  income  simulation  analysis  in  measuring  and  managing
exposure to interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2009, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 300 basis points in interest rates up
will vary projected 2010 net interest income by 1.89%, while a rate shift of 100 basis points down will not
vary net interest income by more than .18% of projected 2010 net interest income. The basis point shift in
interest  rates  is  a  hypothetical  rate  scenario  used  to  calibrate  risk,  and  does  not  necessarily  represent

20

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 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2009, the aggregate amount legally
available  to  be  distributed  to  the  Company  from  bank  subsidiaries  as  dividends  was  approximately
$390,000,000, 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 $928,945,000 as of December 31, 2009. The undivided profits of the bank subsidiaries were
approximately  $727,972,000  as  of  December  31,  2009.  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,  2009,  the  Company  has  outstanding  $1,347,625,000  in  other  borrowed  funds  and
$201,082,000  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, 2009, shareholders’ equity was $1,407,470,000 compared to $1,257,297,000
at December 31, 2008, an increase of $150,173,000, or 11.9%. Shareholders’ equity increased primarily due
to the retention of earnings offset by the payment of cash dividends to shareholders and the repurchase of
common stock under the Company’s publicly announced stock purchase program. The accumulated other
comprehensive income is not included in  the calculation of regulatory capital  ratios.

During 1990, the Federal Reserve Board (‘‘FRB’’) adopted a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the
most  highly  rated  bank  holding  companies  and  at  least  4%  to  5%  for  all  other  bank  holding  companies.
The  Company’s  leverage  ratio  (defined  as  shareholders’  equity  plus  eligible  trust  preferred  securities
issued and outstanding less goodwill and certain other intangibles divided by average quarterly assets) was
10.95%  at  December  31,  2009  and  9.97%  at  December  31,  2008.  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 $304,890,000 as of December 31, 2009, are deducted from the sum of
core capital elements when determining the capital ratios of the  Company.

21

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 17.74% and 15.30% and risk
weighted total capital ratios of 18.99% and 16.35% as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which
are well above the minimum regulatory requirements and exceed the well capitalized ratios (see Note 21 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

During the past few years the Company has expanded its banking facilities. Among the activities and
commitments the Company funded during 2009 and 2008 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,  2009,  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, 2009, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $201,082,000. 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
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

22

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,  2009,  the  total  $201,082,000,  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. On March 16, 2009, the Federal Reserve
Board  extended  for  two  years  the  transition  period.  The  Company  believes  that  all  of  the  current  trust
preferred securities will be included in Tier 1 capital after the transition period ending on March 31, 2011.

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
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.

24

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,’’ now included as part of ASC 310-10, ‘‘Receivables,’’
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 ASC 310-10, 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  ASC  310-10  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 ASC 310-10 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 ASC 450-20.

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 Company paid cash dividends to the common shareholders of $.17 per share on May 11, 2009 and
November  2,  2009,  to  all  holders  of  record  on  April  27,  2009  and  October  19,  2009,  respectively,  or
$23,262,000 in the aggregate during 2009. The Company paid cash dividends to the shareholders in 2008 of
$.33  per  share  on  April  18  and  October  15,  2008,  to  all  holders  of  record  on  March  31,  2008  and
September 30, 2008, respectively, or  $45,253,000 in  the aggregate during 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 not affiliated
with  the  Treasury.  On  April  7,  2009,  the  Company  gained  consent  from  the  Treasury  Department  (the
‘‘Treasury Consent’’) to use the regular semi-annual cash dividend funds of not more than $.33 per share,
as  adjusted  for  any  stock  dividend  or  stock  split,  to  pay  quarterly  dividends  and  to  repurchase  common
stock.  While  the  IBC  Board  is  inclined  to  continue  to  declare  regular  semi-annual  cash  dividends,  the
Board  may  decide  to  pay  quarterly  cash  dividends  in  the  future  and  the  amount  of  any  cash  dividends,
combined  with  amounts  spent  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s  stock  repurchase  program,  will  be
limited  by  the  restrictions  set  forth  in  the  Treasury  Consent.  There  can  be  no  assurance  as  to  future
dividends because they are dependent upon the Company’s future earnings, capital requirements, financial
condition, acquisition opportunities and general business conditions at the time.

The  Company’s  principal  source  of  funds  to  pay  cash  dividends  on  its  Common  Stock  and  Series  A
Preferred Stock is cash dividends from its bank subsidiaries. For a discussion of the limitations, please see
Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock Repurchase Program

The  Company  terminated  its  stock  repurchase  program  on  December  19,  2008,  in  connection  with
participating in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, which program prohibited stock repurchases, except
for repurchases made in connection with  the administration of an employee benefit  plan in  the ordinary
course  of  business  and  consistent  with  past  practices.  Pursuant  to  the  Treasury  Consent  received  on
April  7,  2009,  the  Company  obtained  consent  from  the  Treasury  to  repurchase  shares  of  the  Company’s
common  stock;  provided,  however,  that  in  no  event  will  the  aggregate  amount  of  cash  dividends  and
common  stock  repurchases  for  a  given  semi-annual  period  exceed  the  aggregate  amount  that  would  be
used  to  pay  the  originally  permitted  semi-annual  cash  dividend  of  $.33  per  share.  Under  the  new  stock
repurchase  program,  the  Company  is  authorized  to  repurchase  up  to  $40,000,000  of  its  common  stock
within  twelve  months  from  the  adoption  of  the  repurchase  program  on  April  9,  2009.  Stock  repurchases
may be made from time to time, on the open market or through private transactions. As part of the stock
repurchase program, during the third quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, the Company’s Board
of Directors adopted a rule 10b5-1 trading plan and intends to adopt additional Rule 10b5-1 trading plans
that  will  allow  the  Company  to  purchase  its  shares  of  common  stock  during  certain  trading  blackout
periods when the Company would ordinarily not be in the market due to trading restrictions set forth in its
internal  trading  policy.  Shares  repurchased  in  the  stock  repurchase  program  will  be  held  in  treasury  for
reissue  for  various  corporate  purposes,  including  employee  stock  option  plans.  The  Company  is  not
obligated to repurchase shares under its stock purchase program or to enter into additional Rule 10b5-1
trading  plans.  The  timing,  actual  number  and  value  of  shares  purchased  will  depend  on  many  factors,
including the Company’s cash flow and the liquidity and price performance of its shares of common stock.
As of February 24, 2010, a total of 6,913,284 shares had been repurchased under all programs at a cost of
$222,435,000.

Except  for  repurchases  in  connection  with  the  administration  of  an  employee  benefit  plan  in  the
ordinary  course  of  business  and  consistent  with  past  practices,  common  stock  repurchases  are  only
conducted  under  publicly  announced  repurchase  programs  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The

following  table  includes  information  about  common  stock  share  repurchases  for  the  quarter  ended
December 31, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED  PUBLIC  ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
International Bancshares Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of International Bancshares
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements
of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period  ended  December 31,  2009.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the
Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the  financial  position  of  International  Bancshares  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  as  of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years  in  the  period  ended  December 31,  2009,  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

As  discussed  in  Note  22  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  effective  January 1,  2008,  the

Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 157, ‘‘Fair  Value Measurements’’.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board  (United  States),  International  Bancshares  Corporation  and  subsidiaries’  internal  control  over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission,  and  our
report  dated  March  1,  2010  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  International
Bancshares Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal  control over  financial reporting.

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned
bank  subsidiaries,  International  Bank  of  Commerce,  Laredo  (‘‘IBC’’),  Commerce  Bank,  International
Bank of Commerce, Zapata, International Bank of Commerce, Brownsville, and the Corporation’s wholly-
owned  non-bank  subsidiaries,  IBC  Subsidiary  Corporation,  IBC  Life  Insurance  Company,  IBC  Trading
Company,  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.

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board officially launched the ‘‘FASB Accounting
Standards  Codification,’’  (‘‘Codification’’),  which  is  now  the  single  official  source  of  authoritative,  non-
governmental  U.S.  GAAP,  in  addition  to  guidance  issued  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
(‘‘SEC’’). The Codification supersedes all prior accounting literature. With the launch of the Codification,
U.S. GAAP now consists of two levels—authoritative (Codification) and non-authoritative (anything not in
the Codification). The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009,  and  is  organized  into  approximately  90  accounting  topics.  The  FASB  will  no  longer  be  issuing

39

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

accounting standards in the form of Statements, Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.
The FASB will instead amend the Codification by issuing ‘‘Accounting Standards Updates.’’ The adoption
of the Codification did not have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165
(‘‘SFAS  No.  165’’),  ‘‘Subsequent  Events.’’  SFAS  No.  165  is  currently  included  in  the  Codification  under
ASC Topic 855, ‘‘Subsequent Events’’ (‘‘ASC 855’’). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting
for  and  disclosure  of  events  that  occur  after  the  balance  sheet  date  but  before  financial  statements  are
issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a
reporting  entity’s  management  should  evaluate  events  or  transactions  that  may  occur  for  potential
recognition  or  disclosure  in  the  financial  statements  (ii)  the  circumstances  under  which  an  entity  should
recognize  events  or  transactions  occurring  after  the  balance  sheet  date  in  its  financial  statements  and
(iii)  the  disclosures  an  entity  should  make  about  events  or  transactions  that  occurred  after  the  balance
sheet  date.  The  adoption  of  the  accounting  standard  did  not  have  an  impact  on  the  Company’s
consolidated  financial  statements.  The  Company  has  evaluated  all  events  or  transactions  that  occurred
after December 31, 2009 through March 1, 2010, the date the Company issued these financial statements.
During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable or non-recognizable subsequent
events.

Per Share Data

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

distributed.

Investment Securities

The  Company  classifies  debt  and  equity  securities  into  one  of  these  categories:  held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale,  or  trading.  Such  classifications  are  reassessed  for  appropriate  classification  at  each
reporting date. Securities 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, 2009.

Mortgage-backed  securities  held  at  December  31,  2009  and  2008  represent  participating  interests  in
pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. Mortgage-
backed  securities  are  either  issued  or  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.  Government  or  its  agencies  including  the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (‘‘Freddie Mac’’), the Federal National Mortgage Association
(‘‘Fannie  Mae’’),  the  Government  National  Mortgage  Association  (‘‘Ginnie  Mae’’)  or  other  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

40

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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
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  of  the  Company  to  hold  and  the  determination  of
whether the Company will more likely than not be required to sell the investment prior to a 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.

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.

Impaired Loans

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. 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

41

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Company  may  use  other  methods  to  determine  the  level  of  impairment  of  a  loan  if  such  loan  is  not
collateral dependent.

Non-Accrual Loans

The  non-accrual  loan  policy  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries  is  to  discontinue  the  accrual  of
interest on loans when management determines that it is probable that future interest accruals will be un-
collectible.  As  it  relates  to  consumer  loans,  management  charges  off  those  loans  when  the  loan  is
contractually  90  days  past  due.  Under  special  circumstances,  a  consumer  or  non-consumer  loan  may  be
more  than  90  days  delinquent  as  to  interest  or  principal  and  not  be  placed  on  non-accrual  status.  This
situation generally results when a bank subsidiary has a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties,
but  not  to  the  extent  that  requires  a  restructuring  of  indebtedness.  The  majority  of  this  category  is
composed of loans that are considered to be adequately secured and/or for which there has been a recent
history of payments. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued, not paid is reversed
and charged to operations against interest income. As it relates to non-consumer loans that are not 90 days
past  due,  management  will  evaluate  each  of  these  loans  to  determine  if  placing  the  loan  on  non-accrual
status  is  warranted.  Interest  income  on  non-accrual  loans  is  recognized  only  to  the  extent  payments  are
received or when, in management’s opinion, the debtor’s financial condition warrants reestablishment of
interest accruals.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other  real  estate  owned  is  comprised  of  real  estate  acquired  by  foreclosure  and  deeds  in  lieu  of
foreclosure. Other real estate is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property or its fair
value  less  estimated  costs  to  sell  such  property  (as  determined  by  independent  appraisal).  Prior  to
foreclosure,  the  value  of  the  underlying  loan  is  written  down  to  the  fair  value  of  the  real  estate  to  be
acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan 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
$35,326,000  and  $27,733,000  at  December  31,  2009  and  2008,  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.

The  Company  evaluates  uncertain  tax  positions  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period.  The  Company
may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position  will  be  sustained  on  examination  by  the  taxing  authorities,  based  on  the  technical  merits  of  the
position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from any such a position is measured based
on  the  largest  benefit  that  has  a  greater  than  fifty  percent  likelihood  of  being  realized  upon  ultimate
settlement. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, after evaluating all uncertain tax positions, the
Company has recorded no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period. The
Company would recognize any interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as other interest expense and
penalties  as  other  non-interest  expense.  During  the  years  ended  December 31,  2009,  2008  and  2007,  the
Company recognized no interest expense or penalties related to uncertain tax  positions.

The  Company  files  consolidated  tax  returns  in  the  U.S.  Federal  jurisdiction  and  various  state
jurisdictions.  The  Company  is  no  longer  subject  to  U.S.  federal  or  state  income  tax  examinations  by  tax
authorities for years before 2006.

Stock Options

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.

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.

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
occurred. As of September 30, 2009, 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,  2009,  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

44

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

when  extinguished.  The  Company  has  retained  mortgage  servicing  rights  in  connection  with  the  sale  of
mortgage loans. Because the Company may not initially identify loans as originated for resale, all loans are
initially treated as held for investment. The value of the mortgage servicing rights are reviewed periodically
for impairment and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net servicing income
or  net  servicing  losses.  The  value  of  the  mortgage  servicing  rights  is  not  significant  to  the  consolidated
statements of condition.

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

The  Company  operates  as  one  segment.  The  operating  information  used  by  the  Company’s  chief
executive  officer  for  purposes  of  assessing  performance  and  making  operating  decisions  about  the
Company is the consolidated financial statements presented in this report. The Company has four active
operating  subsidiaries,  namely,  the  bank  subsidiaries,  otherwise  known  as  International  Bank  of
Commerce, Laredo, Commerce Bank, International Bank of Commerce, Zapata and International Bank
of Commerce, Brownsville.

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  September  2006,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  157  (‘‘SFAS  No.  157’’),  ‘‘Fair  Value  Measurements,’’  now  included  in  ASC
820-10.  ASC  820-10  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 ASC 820-10 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,’’ now included in ASC 825-10.
ASC  825-10  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

45

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

ASC 825-10 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),’’  now
included in ASC 805-10 through ASC 805-50. The accounting standard, 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. The accounting standard 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.  It  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  ASC  805-10  through  ASC
805-50,  the  requirements  of  SFAS  No.  146,  ‘‘Accounting  for  Costs  Associated  with  Exit  or  Disposal
Activities,’’  or  ASC420-10,  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,’’  or  ASC  450.  The  new  accounting  standard  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.  The  new  accounting  standard  will  affect  the  accounting  for  any  future  business
combinations the Company enters into.

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,’’ now included in ASC 810-10. ASC 810-10 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 ASC 810-10 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,  ASC  810-10  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.  ASC  810-10  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.  The  Company  adopted  ASC  810-10  on  January  1,  2009.  The  adoption  of  the  new
accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company’s  financial  statements.

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,’’  now  included  in  ASC  815-10.  ASC  815-10  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.  ASC  815-10  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. ASC 815-10 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On  April  9,  2009,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  FASB  Staff  Position  No.  157-4,
‘‘Determining  Fair  Value  When  the  Volume  and  Level  of  Activity  for  the  Asset  or  Liability  Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly’’ (‘‘FSP No. 157-4’’), included
in  ASC  820-10.  ASC  820-10  provides  additional  guidance  for  estimating  fair  value  in  accordance  with
FASB  ASC  820-10,  ‘‘Fair  Value  Measurements,’’  when  the  volume  and  level  of  activity  for  the  asset  or
liability have significantly decreased. Additionally, the staff position also provides guidance on identifying
circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The staff position stresses that even though there
has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of
the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, the main objective of fair
value accounting measurements remains the same. As defined by the FSP, fair value is the price that would
be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market
participants as of the measurement date under current market conditions. Additionally, the staff position
amends the fair value disclosures as originally required by ASC 820-10. The staff position is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, although early adoption is permitted for
periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of the staff position did not have a significant impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and
APB  28-1,  ‘‘Interim  Disclosures  about  Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments’’  (‘‘FSP  No.  107-1  and  APB
28-1’’), included in ASC 825-10. The staff position amends FASB Statement No. 107, ‘‘Disclosures about
Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments,’’  also  in  ASC  825-10,  to  require  disclosures  about  fair  value  of
financial  instruments  for  interim  reporting  periods  of  publicly  traded  companies  as  well  as  in  annual
financial  statements.  The  FSP  also  amends  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  28,  ‘‘Interim
Financial Reporting’’ to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting
periods. The new standard is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early
adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of the staff accounting position
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated  financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and
124-2,  ‘‘Recognition  and  Presentation  of  Other-Than-Temporary  Impairments’’  (FSP  No.  115-2  and
124-2’’), included in ASC 320-10 and amends the other-than-temporary guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-
than-temporary  impairments  in  debt  and  equity  securities  in  the  financial  statements.  The  staff  position
does  not  amend  existing  recognition  and  measurement  guidance  related  to  other-than-temporary
impairment. The staff position requires that unless there is an intent or requirement to sell a debt security,
only  the  amount  of  the  estimated  credit  loss  is  recorded  through  earnings,  while  the  remaining  mark-to-
market loss is recognized as a component of equity through other comprehensive income. Additionally, it
enhances required disclosures of existing guidelines. The staff position is effective for interim and annual

reporting  periods  ending  after  June  15,  2009,  with  early  adoption  permitted  for  periods  ending  after
March 15, 2009, and will be applied to all existing and new investments in debt securities. The adoption of
the  accounting  standard  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial
statements.

In  August  2009,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update
No. 2009-05, to ASC 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.’’ The Update provides amendments
for  the  fair  value  measurement  of  liabilities.  The  Update  clarifies  which  techniques  should  be  used  to
measure fair value in the event that there are no quoted prices in active markets for an identical liability.
The amendment also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, entities are not required to
factor in any existing requirements that would affect the transferability of the asset. The Update is effective
for  the  first  interim  and  annual  reporting  period  ending  after  issuance.  The  adoption  of  the  update  to
existing  accounting  standards  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial
statements.

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
No.  2009-06,  to  update  ASC  740,  ‘‘Income  Taxes.’’  The  Update  addresses  the  need  for  additional
implementation guidance in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The key provisions of the Update
illustrate  by  example  what  should  be  done  in  the  case  where  a  decision  needs  to  be  made  regarding
whether the income tax is paid by the entity is attributable to the entity or its owners, what constitutes a tax
position for a pass-through or tax exempt not-for-profit entity, and how the accounting for uncertainty in
income  taxes  is  impacted  when  a  combined  group  include  both  taxable  and  non-taxable  entities.  The
Update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009 for entities
that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The adoption of
the  update  to  existing  accounting  standards  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
No.  2009-16,  to  ASC  860,  ‘‘Transfers  and  Servicing.’’  The  Update  amends  prior  accounting  guidance  to
enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have
continued  exposure  to  the  risks  related  to  the  transferred  financial  assets.  The  Update  eliminates  the
concept of a ‘‘qualifying special-purpose entity’’ and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial
assets.  The  Update  also  requires  additional  disclosures  about  all  continuing  involvement  by  the  entity  in
transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the
reporting period. The Update is effective for fiscal periods ending after January 1, 2010. The adoption of
the update to existing accounting standards is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated 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.

(1) Included in the carrying value of residential mortgage-backed securities are $1,820,988 of mortgage-
backed  securities  issued  by  Ginnie  Mae,  $3,087,038  of  mortgage-backed  securities  issued  by  Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac and $66,291 issued by non-government entities.

Mortgage-backed  securities  are  securities  issued  by  the  Freddie  Mac,  Fannie  Mae,  Ginnie  Mae  or
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.

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 $2,747,873,000 and $2,829,519,000,  respectively, at  December  31, 2009.

Proceeds  from  the  sale  and  call  of  securities  available-for-sale  were  $579,099,000,  $8,376,000  and
$841,084,000  during  2009,  2008  and  2007,  respectively,  which  amounts  included  $544,305,000,  $0  and
$838,561,000  of  mortgage-backed  securities.  In  2007,  the  Company  sold  approximately  $833,160,000  of
mortgage-backed  securities  that  were  in  a  loss  position.  The  securities  identified  for  sale  had  unique
attributes that distinguished them from the rest of the portfolio and caused them to not meet the interest
rate risk profile of the Company at the time. The first sale occurred in the first quarter. The securities sold
were certain hybrid mortgage-backed securities with a coupon re-set date that exceeded 30 months and a
weighted  average  yield  to  coupon  re-set  that  was  approximately  100  basis  points  less  than  the  FHLB
certificate  of  indebtedness  short-term  rate.  The  second  sale  occurred  in  the  third  quarter.  The  securities

50

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(3) Investment Securities (Continued)

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. Gross
gains  of  $11,980,000,  $6,427,000  and  $2,431,000  and  gross  losses  of  $24,000,  $0  and  $18,369,000  were
realized on the sales in 2009, 2008 and  2007, 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, 2009 were  as follows:

The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities are primarily caused by changes
in  market  interest  rates.  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
carry an implied AAA rating with limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie Mae and

51

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(3) Investment Securities (Continued)

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 no intent to sell and will not more than likely than not be required to sell
before 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 small 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  no  intent  to  sell  and  will  not  more  likely  than  not  be  required  to  sell  before  recovery  of
amortized cost, the non-agency mortgage-backed securities until a market price recovery or maturity and
has continued to receive cash as expected. It is the conclusion of the Company that the investments in non-
agency  mortgage-backed  securities  are  other-than-temporarily  impaired,  but  primarily  due  to  other  than
credit issues.

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 no intent to sell and will not more likely than not be required to sell before
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.

Loans  accounted  for  on  a  non-accrual  basis  at  December  31,  2009,  2008  and  2007  amounted  to
$68,338,000,  $164,230,000  and  $33,622,000,  respectively.  The  effect  of  such  non-accrual  loans  reduced
interest income by $4,011,000, $6,242,000 and $1,378,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, 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, 2009, 2008 and 2007 amounted
to $12,089,000, $6,274,000 and $21,840,000, 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:

commercial  loans,  which  have  not  been  fully  charged  off.  The  average  recorded  investment  in  impaired
loans  was  $149,528,000,  $93,654,000,  and  $22,590,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2009,  2008  and
2007, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired loans was $547,000, $236,000 and $1,989,000 for
the  years  ended  December  31,  2009,  2008  and  2007.  The  increase  in  the  balance  of  impaired  loans  over

historical levels can be partially attributed to certain loans that filed for bankruptcy protection and a few
loan relationships that deteriorated during 2009 and 2008. A portion of the impaired loans have adequate
collateral and credit enhancements not requiring a related allowance for loan loss. The level of impaired
loans  is  reflective  of  the  economic  weakness  that  has  been  created  by  the  financial  crisis  and  the
subsequent economic downturn. While impaired loans have increased compared to historical levels, they
have  decreased  for  the  period  ended  December  31,  2009,  compared  to  the  period  ending  December  31,
2008.  The  decrease  in  impaired  loans  from  2008  to  2009  can  be  attributed  to  improving  economic
conditions in certain industry sectors and market areas and collateral enhancements or other factors that
improve the quality of the credits. Management is confident the Company’s loss exposure regarding these
credits will be significantly reduced due to the Company’s long-standing practices that emphasize secured
lending  with  strong  collateral  positions  and  guarantor  support.  Management  is  likewise  confident  the
reserve for probable loan losses is adequate. 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 or significant increases in impaired loans from these levels.

Management  of  the  Company  recognizes  the  risks  associated  with  these  impaired  loans.  However,
management’s decision to place loans in this category does not necessarily mean that losses will occur. In
the  current  environment,  troubled  loan  management  can  be  protracted  because  of  the  legal  and  process
problems that delay the collection of an otherwise collectable loan. Additionally, management believes that
the collateral related to these impaired loans and/or the secondary support from guarantors mitigates the
potential  for  losses  from  impaired  loans.  It  is  also  important  to  note  that  even  though  the  economic
conditions  in  Texas  and  Oklahoma  are  weakened,  we  believe  these  markets  are  improving  and  better
positioned to recover than many other areas of the  country.

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.

(11) 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, 2009, the principal amount of debentures outstanding totaled $201,082,000. 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
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,  2009,  the  total  $201,082,000,  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. On March 16, 2009, the Federal Reserve
Board  extended  for  two  years  the  transition  period.  The  Company  believes  that  substantially  all  of  the
current  trust  preferred  securities  will  be  included  in  Tier  1  capital  after  the  transition  period  ending  on
March 31, 2011.

(12) Earnings per Share (‘‘EPS’’)

Basic  EPS  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding.  The  computation  of  diluted  EPS  assumes  the  issuance  of  common  shares  for  all  dilutive
potential  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  reporting  period.  The  calculation  of  the  basic  EPS  and
the diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 is set forth in the following table:

(13) Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a deferred profit sharing plan for full-time employees with a minimum of one year
of continuous employment. The Company’s annual contribution to the plan is based on a percentage, as
determined by the Board of Directors, of income before income taxes, as defined, for the year. Allocation
of the contribution among officers and employees’ accounts is based on length of service and amount of
salary  earned.  Profit  sharing  costs  of  $4,366,000,  $4,683,000  and  $4,628,000  were  charged  to  income  for
the years ended December 31, 2009,  2008, and 2007, 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.

June 2013 and ending in December 2024.

(16) Stock Options

On  April  1,  2005,  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted  the  2005  International  Bancshares  Corporation
Stock Option Plan (the ‘‘2005 Plan’’). 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, 2009, 142,922 shares were available for future grants under the
2005 Plan.

The fair value of each option award granted under the plan 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.

(17) Long Term Restricted Stock Units

As  a  participant  in  the  Troubled  Asset  Relief  Program  Capital  Purchase  Program  (the  ‘‘CPP’’),  the
Company must comply with the Interim Final Rule on TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate
Governance  issued  in  June  2009  by  the  Treasury,  which  implements  the  provisions  of  Section  111  of  the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act  of  2009.  Pursuant  to  these  provisions,  the  Company  is  subject  to  certain  compensation  restrictions,
which  include  a  prohibition  on  the  payment  or  accrual  of  any  bonuses  (including  equity-based  incentive
compensation) to certain officers and employees except for awards of CPP-compliant long-term restricted
stock and stock units.

On  December  18,  2009,  the  Company’s  board  of  directors  (the  ‘‘Board’’)  adopted  the  2009
International  Bancshares  Corporation  Long-Term  Restricted  Stock  Unit  Plan  (the  ‘‘Plan’’)  to  give  the
Company additional flexibility in the compensation of its officers, employees, consultants and advisors in
compliance with all applicable laws and restrictions. The Plan authorizes the Company to issue Restricted
Stock Units (‘‘RSUs’’) to officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Plan provides that RSUs shall be issued by a committee of the Board appointed by the Board from

66

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(17) Long Term Restricted Stock Units (Continued)

time to time consisting of at least two (2) members of the Board, each of whom is both a non-employee
director and an outside director. On December 18, 2009, the Board adopted resolutions creating the Long-
Term Restricted Stock Unit Plan Committee to administer the Plan. RSUs issued under the Plan are not
equity and are payable only in cash. The Plan provides for both the issuance of CPP-compliant long-term
RSUs as well as RSUs that are not CPP-compliant.

Dennis E. Nixon, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company,
received an award of CPP-compliant RSUs, granted as of December 18, 2009, in the amount of $250,000
for his performance during 2009. In order to meet the requirements of a CPP-compliant RSU, Mr. Nixon’s
RSUs do  not exceed one-third of his total annual compensation.

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, 2009 were
$13,300,000.

Cash of approximately $60,154,000 and $60,405,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, was

maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve  requirements.

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are in various stages of litigation. Some of
these  actions  allege  ‘‘lender  liability’’  claims  on  a  variety  of  theories  and  claim  substantial  actual  and
punitive damages. The Company has determined, based on discussions with its counsel that any material
loss  in  such  actions,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  is  remote  or  the  damages  sought,  even  if  fully
recovered, would not be considered material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations
of  the  Company.  However,  many  of  these  matters  are  in  various  stages  of  proceedings  and  further
developments could cause management to revise its assessment of  these matters.

The  Company’s  lead  bank  subsidiary  has  invested  in  partnerships,  which  have  entered  into  several
lease-financing  transactions.  The  Internal  Revenue  Service  issued  a  Notice  of  Final  Partnership
Administrative  Adjustments  (‘‘FPAA’’)  on  two  of  the  partnerships.  In  both  partnerships,  the  lead  bank
subsidiary was the owner of a ninety-nine percent (99%) limited partnership interest. In connection with

67

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

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

the two partnerships through the first quarter of 2006, the Company expensed approximately $25.7 million,
which amount represents 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.

The  Company  is  involved  in  a  dispute  related  to  certain  tax  matters  that  were  transferred  to  the
Company  in  its  2004  acquisition  of  LFIN.  The  dispute  involves  claims  by  the  former  controlling
shareholders of LFIN related to certain tax benefits enjoyed by LFIN in connection with losses on loans
acquired from a failed thrift and a dispute LFIN had with the FDIC regarding tax benefits related to the
failed thrift acquisition. A jury trial related to this dispute commenced in the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Oklahoma on February 8, 2010. While the outcome of any jury trial is very difficult to
predict,  the  Company  has  determined,  based  on  discussions  with  its  legal  counsel,  that  any  material  loss
related to this dispute is remote. Management intends to continue to evaluate the merits of this matter and
make appropriate revisions to the amount reserved in connection with this dispute as deemed necessary.

(19) Transactions with Related Parties

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  make  loans  to  directors  and
executive officers of the Corporation, including their affiliates, families and companies in which they are
principal  owners.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these  loans  are  made  on  substantially  the  same  terms,
including  interest  rates  and  collateral,  as  those  prevailing  at  the  time  for  comparable  transactions  with
other  persons  and  do  not  involve  more  than  normal  risk  of  collectability  or  present  other  unfavorable
features.  The  aggregate  amounts  receivable  from  such  related  parties  amounted  to  approximately
$67,681,000 and $79,438,000 at December  31, 2009 and 2008,  respectively.

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

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  bank  subsidiaries  are  party  to  financial  instruments  with  off-
statement  of  condition  risk  to  meet  the  financing  needs  of  their  customers.  These  financial  instruments
include commitments to their customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements
of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of condition. The contract
amounts  of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  bank  subsidiaries  have  in  particular
classes  of  financial  instruments.  At  December  31,  2009,  the  following  financial  amounts  of  instruments,
whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding:

Commitments to extend credit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Credit card lines . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

$1,167,993,000
48,016,000
132,151,000
1,356,000

The Company enters into a standby letter of credit to guarantee performance of a customer to a third
party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The
credit  risk  involved  is  represented  by  the  contractual  amounts  of  those  instruments.  Under  the  standby
letters of credit, the Company is required to make payments to the beneficiary of the letters of credit upon
request by the beneficiary so long as all performance criteria have been met. At December 31, 2009, the
maximum  potential  amount  of  future  payments  is  $132,151,000.  At  December  31,  2009,  the  fair  value  of

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

these  guarantees  is  not  significant.  Unsecured  letters  of  credit  totaled  $29,384,000  and  $28,771,000  at
December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.

(21) Capital Requirements

On December 23, 2008, 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.

(21) Capital Requirements (Continued)

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,  2009,  the  subsidiary  banks  could  pay  dividends  of  up  to  $390,000,000  to  the  Company
without  prior  regulatory  approval  and  without  adversely  affecting  their  ‘‘well  capitalized’’  status.  In
addition to legal requirements, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the bank subsidiaries’
total capital in relation to their deposits and other factors. These capital adequacy considerations also limit
amounts available for payment of dividends. The Company historically has not allowed any subsidiary bank
to pay dividends in such a manner as to impair its capital adequacy.

The  Company  and  the  bank  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
certain  mandatory  and  possibly  additional  discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could
have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Company  must  meet  specific
capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative  measures  of  the  Company’s  assets,  liabilities,  and  certain  off-
statement of condition items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.

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. On April 7, 2009, the Company gained consent from
the Treasury Department (the ‘‘Treasury Consent’’) to use the regular semi-annual cash dividend funds of
not more than $.33 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividend or stock split, to pay quarterly dividends
and to repurchase common stock. Any cash dividends combined with amounts spent in conjunction with
the  Company’s  stock  repurchase  program  will  be  limited  by  the  restrictions  set  forth  in  the  Treasury
Consent.

(21) Capital Requirements (Continued)

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 may be permitted to repay the $216 million it
received under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, without regard to certain repayment restrictions in
the Securities Purchase Agreement, which restricted the Company’s ability to redeem the Senior Preferred
Stock during the first three years following the date of investment. The redemption of the Senior Preferred
Stock  is  subject  to  the  consent  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  Dallas,  which  is  the  Company’s  primary
Federal banking regulator. To date, the Company  has not redeemed  any  of  the Senior Preferred  Stock.

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,  2009,  that  the  Company  and  each  of  the  bank  subsidiaries  met  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

As  of  December  31,  2009,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  categorized  all  the  bank  subsidiaries  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as ‘‘well capitalized’’ the Company and the bank subsidiaries
must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
categorization of the Company or any of  the bank subsidiaries  as well  capitalized.

(22) Fair Value

Effective  January  1,  2008,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
No. 157 (‘‘SFAS No. 157’’), ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ for financial assets and liabilities. Additionally, 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 delayed 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  and  FSP  No.  157-2  are  now  included  in  the
Accounting  Standards  Codification  (‘‘ASC’’)  in  Topic  820,  ‘‘Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures’’
(‘‘ASC  820’’).  ASC  820  defines  fair  value,  establishes  a  framework  for  measuring  fair  value  in  generally
accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies
to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820 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; it also establishes a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

(cid:129) Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for  identical assets  or liabilities.

(cid:129) 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:129) 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.

Investment  securities  available-for-sale  are  classified  within  level  2  and  level  3  of  the  valuation
hierarchy,  with  the  exception  of  certain  equity  investments  that  are  classified  within  level  1.  For
investments classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, 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. Investment securities classified as level 3 are non-agency
mortgage-backed securities. The non-agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company are traded
in  in-active  markets  and  markets  that  have  experienced  significant  decreases  in  volume  and  level  of
activity,  as  exhibited  by  few  recent  transactions,  a  significant  decline  or  absence  of  new  issuances,  price
quotations that are not based on comparable securities transactions and wide bid-ask spreads among other
factors. As a result of the inability to use quoted market prices to determine fair value for these securities,
the Company determined that fair value, as determined by level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, is more
appropriate for financial reporting and more consistent with the expected performance of the investments.
For  the  investments  classified  within  level  3  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy,  the  Company  used  a  discounted
cash flow model to determine the fair value. Inputs in the model included both historical performance and
expected  future  performance  based  on  information  currently  available.  Assumptions  used  in  the
discounted  cash  flow  model  included  estimates  on  future  principal  prepayment  rates,  default  and  loss
severity rates.

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).

As  of  December  31,  2009,  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 FASB ASC 310, ‘‘Receivables’’.
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.

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

December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are outlined below.

Cash and Due From Banks and Federal  Funds Sold

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

Time Deposits with Banks

The carrying amounts of time deposits with  banks approximate fair  value.

Investment securities held-to-maturity

The carrying amounts of investments  held-to-maturity 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
ownership  of  a  financial  instrument,  probable  tax  ramifications,  or  estimated  transaction  costs.  See
disclosures of fair value of investment  securities in Note  3.

(22) Fair Value (Continued)

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,  2009,  and  December  31,
2008,  the  carrying  amount  of  fixed  rate  performing  loans  was  $1,303,049,000  and  $1,272,370,000
respectively, and the estimated fair value was $1,200,343,000  and $1,253,496,000,  respectively.

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, 2009 and 2008. 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,
2009 and 2008, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,398,656,000 and $3,317,512,000, respectively,
and the estimated fair value was $3,412,538,000 and $3,343,150,000, respectively.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements and Other Borrowed  Funds

Securities sold under repurchase agreements include both short and long-term maturities. Due to the
contractual  terms  of  the  short-term  instruments,  the  carrying  amounts  approximated  fair  value  at
December  31,  2009  and  December  31,  2008.  The  fair  value  of  the  long-term  instruments  is  based  on
established market spreads. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying amount of long-
term  repurchase  agreements  was  $1,000,000,000  and  the  estimated  fair  value  was  $1,099,064,000  and
$1,158,873,000, respectively. Other borrowed funds are short-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.
Due to the contractual terms of these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximated fair value
at December 31, 2009 and December 31,  2008.

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, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The  fair  value  of  the  fixed  junior  subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures  is  based  on  established
market  spreads  to  the  debentures.  At  December  31,  2009  and  2008,  the  carrying  amount  of  fixed  junior

78

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(22) Fair Value (Continued)

subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures  was  $139,224,000  and  $139,190,000,  respectively,  and  the
estimated fair value was $65,762,000  and  $44,704,000, 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.
