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,
2011.  The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  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
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created by these

Summary of Recent Legislation

On  July 21,  2010,  sweeping  financial  regulatory  reform  legislation  entitled  the  ‘‘Dodd-Frank  Wall
Street  Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act’’  (the  ‘‘Dodd-Frank  Act’’)  was  signed  into  law.  The
Dodd-Frank  Act  implements  far-reaching  changes  across  the  financial  regulatory  landscape,  including
provisions that, among other things,  will:

(cid:129) Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Bureau of
Consumer  Financial  Protection  (the  ‘‘CFPB’’),  responsible  for  implementing,  examining  and
enforcing compliance with federal consumer  financial laws.

(cid:129) Restrict the preemption of state law by federal law and disallow subsidiaries and affiliates of banks

from availing themselves of such preemption.

(cid:129) Apply  the  same  leverage  and  risk-based  capital  requirements  that  apply  to  insured  depository

institutions to most bank holding companies.

(cid:129) Require  each  federal  bank  regulatory  agency  to  seek  to  make  its  capital  requirement  for  banks
countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease
in times of economic contraction.

(cid:129) Require  financial  holding  companies,  such  as  the  Company,  to  be  well-capitalized  and
well-managed. Bank holding companies and banks must also be well-capitalized and well-managed
in order to acquire banks located outside their home state.

(cid:129) Change the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to
consolidated assets less tangible capital, eliminate the ceiling on the size of the Deposit Insurance
Fund (‘‘DIF’’) and increase the floor of the  size of the  DIF.

(cid:129) Impose  comprehensive  regulation  of  over-the-counter  derivatives  market,  which  would  include
certain  provisions  that  would  effectively  prohibit  insured  depository  institutions  from  conducting
certain derivatives businesses in the institution  itself.

(cid:129) Require  publicly-traded  bank  holding  companies  with  $10 billion  in  assets  or  more,  like  the
Company,  to  create  a  risk  committee  responsible  for  the  oversight  of  risk  management  of  the
enterprise.

(cid:129) Require  stress  testing  of  certain  financial  institutions.  On  June 15,  2011,  the  FRB  published  for
comment proposed guidance (‘‘Stress Testing Guidance Proposal’’) that would require bank holding
companies  with  over  $10 billion  in  total  consolidated  assets  to  conduct  stress  testing  as  a  part  of
overall  institution  risk  management.  The  Stress  Testing  Guidance  Proposal  includes  stress  testing

4

capital  and  non-capital  related  aspects  of  financial  condition,  provides  an  overview  of  how  a
banking organization should develop a structure for stress testing, outlines general principles for a
satisfactory  stress  testing  framework,  and  describes  how  stress  testing  should  be  used  at  various
levels  within  a  banking  organization.  The  Stress  Testing  Guidance  Proposal  also  discusses  the
importance of stress testing in liquidity planning and the importance of strong internal governance
and  controls  in  an  effective  stress-testing  framework.  The  Company  does  currently  have  total
consolidated  assets  in  excess  of  $10 billion  and  the  Company  would  be  required  to  conduct  the
stress testing described in the Stress Testing Guidance Proposal when it is effective. On January 17,
2012,  the  FDIC  issued  a  similar  proposal  that  would  require  state  nonmember  banks  with  over
$10 billion  in  assets  to  conduct  annual  stress  tests,  report  the  results  to  the  FDIC,  and  make  the
results  available  to  the  public.  At  this  time,  none  of  the  subsidiary  banks  of  the  Company  would
meet the $10 billion asset threshold to be required to conduct the bank stress tests under the FDIC
Proposal.

(cid:129) Implement corporate governance revisions, including executive compensation and proxy access by

shareholders that apply to all public companies,  not just financial  institutions.

(cid:129) Make  permanent  the  $250,000  limit  for  federal  deposit  insurance  and  increase  the  cash  limit  of
Securities  Investor  Protection  Corporation  protection  from  $100,000  to  $250,000  and  provide
unlimited  federal  deposit  insurance  until  December 31,  2012  for  non-interest  bearing  demand
transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.

(cid:129) Repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting
depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts. In July 2011, the
FRB issued a final rule, effective July 21, 2011, repealing Regulation Q, which had prohibited the
payment of interest on demand deposits.

(cid:129) Amend  the  Electronic  Fund  Transfer  Act  (‘‘EFTA’’)  to,  among  other  things,  give  the  FRB  the
authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by
payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that
such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer. In June
2011,the  FRB  issued  a  final  rule,  effective  October 1,  2011,  which  established  the  maximum
permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction at 21 cents
per  transaction  and  5  basis  points  multiplied  by  the  value  of  the  transaction.  The  FRB  also
approved an interim final rule that allows for an upward adjustment of no more than 1 cent to an
issuer’s  debit  card  interchange  fee  if  the  issuer  develops  and  implements  appropriate  fraud-
prevention policies and procedures.

(cid:129) Increase the authority of the FRB to examine the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries.

(cid:129) Permit interstate de novo branching without the need to  acquire an  existing bank.

(cid:129) Require extensive new restrictions and requirements relating to residential mortgage transactions.

(cid:129) Eliminate  the  use  of  credit  ratings  in  bank  regulations,  including  capital  regulations.  On
November 18,  2011,  the  OCC  proposed  guidance  on  due  diligence  requirements  in  determining
whether  investment  securities  are  eligible  for  investment  and  on  January 11,  2012,  the  FDIC  and
the other Federal bank agencies proposed a rule to modify the agencies’ market risk capital rules by
incorporating into the rules various alternatives and complex methodologies for calculating specific
risk capital requirements for debt and securitization positions  that do not rely on  credit ratings.

(cid:129) Establish  a  Whistleblower  Incentives  and  Protection  Program  for  public  company  employees.  On
May 25, 2011, the SEC approved final rules whereby whistleblowers may receive 10% to 30% of the
SEC-levied  sanctions  when  a  whistleblower  voluntarily  provides  original  information  to  the  SEC
and the sanctions levied against the culpable party exceed $1 million in an enforcement proceeding.

5

(cid:129) Requires  the  federal  financial  regulatory  agencies  to  adopt  rules  that  prohibit  banks  and  their
affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring certain unregistered
investment companies (defined as hedge funds and private equity funds). The statutory provision is
commonly  called  the  ‘‘Volcker  Rule.’’  In  October  2011,  federal  regulators  proposed  rules  to
implement  the  Volcker  Rule  that  included  an  extensive  request  for  comments  on  the  proposal,
which are due by February 13, 2012. The proposed rules are highly complex, and many aspects of
their application remain uncertain. Based on the proposed rules, the Company does not currently
anticipate that the Volcker Rule will have a material effect on the operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries, as the Company does not engage in the businesses prohibited by the Volcker Rule.
Until a final rule is adopted, the actual financial impact of the rule on the Company, its customers
or the financial industry more generally, cannot be determined.

(cid:129) Authorizes  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  to  adopt  enhanced  supervision  and  prudential  standards
generally  for  bank  holding  companies  with  total  consolidated  assets  of  $50 billion  or  more  (often
referred to as ‘‘systemically important financial institutions’’ or ‘‘SIFI’’), and authorizes the FRB to
establish such standards either on its own or upon the recommendations of the Financial Stability
Oversight  Council  (‘‘FSOC’’),  a  new  systemic  risk  oversight  body  created  by  Dodd-Frank.  The
FSOC has the authority to veto a financial rule of the CFPB if the rule would threaten the safety
and  soundness  of  the  entire  U.S.  banking  system.  In  December  2011,  the  FRB  issued  for  public
comment  a  notice  of  proposed  rulemaking  establishing  such  enhanced  supervision  and  prudential
standards.  Most  of  the  proposed  SIFI  rules  will  not  apply  to  the  Company  because  the  Company
has total consolidated assets in an amount less than $50 billion. Two aspects of the proposed SIFI
rules—requirements for annual stress testing of capital and certain corporate governance provisions
requiring,  among  other  things,  that  each  bank  holding  company  establish  a  risk  committee  of  its
board of directors, apply to bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or
more, including the Company.

Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years
making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers or the financial
industry more generally. Provisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of
interest on demand deposits and interchange fees are likely to increase the costs associated with deposits
as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate. Provisions in the legislation
that  require  revisions  to  the  capital  requirements  of  the  Company  could  require  the  Company  to  seek
other  sources  of  capital  in  the  future.  Some  of  the  rules  that  have  been  adopted  or  proposed  to  comply
with the Dodd-Frank Act are discussed further  below.

Overview

The Company, which is headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with 217 facilities and 378 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

6

on  average  common  equity  (‘‘ROE’’).  The  Company’s  ROE  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  was
8.71% as compared to 9.43% for the year ended  December  31, 2010.

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. As the Company adjusts to regulatory changes related to the adoption of
the Dodd-Frank Regulatory Reform Act, the Company’s efficiency ratio may suffer because the additional
regulatory  compliance  costs  are  expected  to  increase  non-interest  expense.  The  Company  monitors  this
ratio over time to assess the Company’s efficiency relative to its peers. 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.  On  September  22,  2011,  the  Company  announced  the  approval  of  a
restructuring plan that resulted in the closing of fifty-five (55) in store branches by December 31, 2011. The
branch  closures  are  a  result  of  reduced  levels  of  revenue  resulting  from  regulatory  changes  related  to
interchange fee income. The branches were closed in order to align the Company’s expenses with reduced
levels  of  revenue,  protecting  the  Company’s  financial  strength  while  preserving  IBC’s  free  products
program.

Net Income

Net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  decreased  by
2.6%  as  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2010.  Net  income  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2011  and
December 31, 2010 was positively affected by gains on investment securities sales totaling $11.2 million and
$21.6 million, net of tax, respectively. The sales of the securities were to facilitate a re-positioning of the
Company’s  investment  portfolio.  Net  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2010  was  negatively
affected  by  an  additional  reserve  of  $21.8  million  that  the  Company  recorded  during  the  first  quarter  of
2010 in connection with a dispute related to certain tax matters that were inherited by the Company in its
2004  acquisition  of  LFIN.  See  Note  17  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  The  provision  for
probable loan losses charged to expense decreased $23.4 million, after tax to $14.8 million, after tax for the
year ended December 31, 2010 from $38.2 million, after tax for the same period of 2009. The decrease was
mainly  due  to  a  decrease  in  required  reserves  for  impaired  loans  analyzed  on  an  individual  basis.  The
impaired loans were measured based on the fair value of collateral. The majority of these loans showed a
fair value greater than carrying value.

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

8

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

The  level  of  interest  rates  and  the  volume  and  mix  of  earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities
impact net income and net interest margin. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 12.5%
from 4.64% in 2010 to 4.06% in 2011, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased
18.7% from 1.39% in 2010 to 1.13% in 2011. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 10.3%
from 5.17% in 2009 to 4.64% in 2010, and the rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased
12.6% from 1.59% in 2009 to 1.39% in 2010. 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.

(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
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

10

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, 2011, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 300 basis points in interest rates up
will vary net interest income by 5.53%, while a rate shift of 150 basis points up will not vary net interest
income  by  more  than  5.42%  of  projected  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  decreased  .3%  to  $84,192,000  at  December  31,  2011  from
$84,482,000  at  December  31,  2010.  The  allowance  was  1.67%  of  total  loans,  net  of  unearned  income  at
December 31, 2011 and 1.56% at December 31, 2010. The provision for probable loan losses charged to
expense decreased $5,494,000 to $17,318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $22,812,000 for
the same period in 2010. The Company’s provision for probable loan losses decreased for the year ended
December 31, 2011 mainly due to a decrease in the Company’s charge-off experience and a decrease in the
loan  portfolio.  The  Company’s  provision  for  probable  loan  losses  decreased  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2010 mainly due to the decrease in the required reserves for impaired loans analyzed on an
individual basis. The impaired loans have been measured based on the fair value of collateral. The majority
of these loans show a fair value greater than the carrying value. 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  in  the
Company’s  loan  portfolio  and  the  related  allowance  for  probable  loan  losses.  Although  the  Texas  and
Oklahoma  economies  are  performing  better  and  appear  to  be  recovering  faster  than  other  parts  of  the
country,  the  long  term  weak  economic  environment  may  continue  to  reveal  new  problems  within  these
markets. Loans accounted for as ‘‘troubled debt restructuring’’  were not significant.

The  following  table  presents  information  concerning  the  aggregate  amount  of  non-accrual  and  past
due foreign loans extended to persons or entities in foreign countries. Certain loans may be classified in

The  gross  income  that  would  have  been  recorded  during  2011  and  2010  on  non-accrual  loans  in
accordance with their original contract terms was $4,114,000 and $3,748,000 on domestic loans and $0 and
$2,000 on foreign loans, respectively. The amount of interest income on such loans that was recognized in
2011  and  2010  was  $31,000  and  $32,000  on  domestic  loans  and  $0  and  $0  for  foreign  loans,  respectively.

11

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 $1,235,699,000 and $1,309,921,000 at December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. See Note  19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The allowance for probable loan losses primarily 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 decreased approximately $10.9 million from 2009 to 2010. The decrease
in the reserve from 2009 to 2010 is mainly due to a decrease in the required reserves for impaired loans
analyzed  on  an  individual  basis.  The  impaired  loans  have  been  measured  based  on  the  fair  value  of
collateral.  The  majority  of  these  loans  show  a  fair  value,  after  considering  selling  costs,  greater  than  the
carrying value. The increase in the reserve from 2008 to 2009 occurred as the result of the deterioration of
economic  conditions  in  2008  that  continued  to  occur  in  2009.  Please  refer  to  Note  4—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,  2011  was  adequate  to  absorb  probable  losses  from  loans  in  the  portfolio  at  that  date.  See
Critical Accounting Policies on page 26. 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.

Non-interest expense decreased 6.8% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same
period of 2010. Non-interest expense for 2011 was negatively impacted by a valuation allowance taken for a

15

foreclosed real estate project, included in ‘‘net expense, other real estate owned,’’ in the table above. After
evaluation of the carrying value of the foreclosed real estate, the Company determined that the property
required a valuation allowance. Included in litigation expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, is a
reserve  of  $21.8  million  for  a  dispute  related  to  certain  tax  deductions  that  were  inherited  by  the
Company’s 2004 acquisition of LFIN. The dispute involves claims by the former controlling shareholders
of LFIN related to tax refunds received by the  Company based  on deductions  taken in 2003 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,  which  originated  in  1988.  For  more
information  about  the  LFIN  dispute,  please  refer  to  Note  17—Commitments,  Contingent  Liabilities  and
Other  Matters  in  the  accompanying  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  The  Company
recorded  other-than-temporary  impairment  charges  of  $977  thousand  and  $8.4  million  on  non-agency
mortgage-backed  securities,  representing  the  credit  related  impairment  on  the  securities  in  during  2011
and 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company also recognized charges of $5.36 million, before
tax,  related  to  the  closing  of  fifty-five  (55)  in-store  branches  by  December  31,  2011.  The  charges  are
included in ‘‘Depreciation of bank premises and equipment’’ and ‘‘Other’’  in the table above.

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,
however,  the  Company  believes  that  the  quality  of  the  bonds  is  similar  to  other  AAA  rated  bonds  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, 2011, the Company had $230,005,000 (2.0% 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 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, 2011 were $7,946,092,000, an increase of
4.6% from $7,599,558,000 at December  31, 2010.

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 29%, 30%, and
31%  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiaries’  total  deposits  at  each  of  the  years  ended  December  31,  2011,
2010  and  2009,  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
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,  2011,  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, 2011, based on these simulations, a rate shift of 300 basis points in interest rates up
will vary projected 2012 net interest income by 5.53%, while a rate shift of 150 basis points up will not vary
net  interest  income  by  more  than  5.42%  of  projected  2012  net  interest  income.  The  basis  point  shift  in
interest  rates  is  a  hypothetical  rate  scenario  used  to  calibrate  risk,  and  does  not  necessarily  represent

22

management’s  current  view  of  future  market  developments.  The  Company  believes  that  it  is  properly
positioned for a potential interest rate  increase or decrease.

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

Principal  sources  of  liquidity  and  funding  for  the  Company  are  dividends  from  subsidiaries  and
borrowed  funds,  with  such  funds  being  used  to  finance  the  Company’s  cash  flow  requirements.  The
Company closely monitors the dividend restrictions and availability from the bank subsidiaries as disclosed
in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2011, the aggregate amount legally
available  to  be  distributed  to  the  Company  from  bank  subsidiaries  as  dividends  was  approximately
$585,000,000, 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 $908,097,000 as of December 31, 2011. The undivided profits of the bank subsidiaries were
approximately  $902,123,000  as  of  December  31,  2011.  Additionally,  as  a  result  of  the  Company’s
participation  in  the  TARP  Capital  Purchase  Program,  the  Company  was  restricted  in  the  payment  of
dividends and was not allowed without the Treasury Department’s consent, to 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  ceased  to  exist  on  December  23,
2011.

At  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  has  outstanding  $494,161,000  in  other  borrowed  funds  and
$190,726,000  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, 2011, shareholders’ equity was $1,600,165,000 compared to $1,459,217,000
at December 31, 2010, an increase of $140,948,000, or 9.7%. 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
12.74%  at  December  31,  2011  and  11.58%  at  December  31,  2010.  The  core  deposit  intangibles  and
goodwill  of  $294,722,000  as  of  December  31,  2011,  are  deducted  from  the  sum  of  core  capital  elements
when determining the capital ratios of  the Company.

23

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 22.73% and 19.47% and risk
weighted total capital ratios of 23.99% and 20.72% as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which
are well above the minimum regulatory requirements and exceed the well capitalized ratios (see Note 20 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest  Debentures

The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for
the  purpose  of  issuing  trust  preferred  securities.  The  eight  statutory  business  trusts  formed  by  the
Company  (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.  As  of  December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures
outstanding  totaled  $190,726,000  and  $201,117,000,  respectively.  As  a  result  of  the  participation  in  the
TARP  Capital  Purchase  Program,  the  Company  was  not  permitted,  without  the  consent  of  the  Treasury
Department, to redeem any of the Debentures. This restriction ceased to exist on December 23, 2011. On
March  14,  2011,  upon  the  request  of  the  Company,  the  Treasury  consented  to  the  repurchase  by  the
Company  of  the  $10.4  million  in  trust  preferred  securities  of  Trust  I,  as  well  as  related  costs  for  a  total
payment  of  approximately  $11  million,  provided  that  the  aggregate  amount  of  the  Company’s
(i)  semi-annual  cash  dividend,  (ii)  common  stock  repurchases  and  (iii)  trust  preferred  securities
redemptions  for  a  given  semi-annual  period  would  not  exceed  the  originally  permitted  semi-annual  cash
dividend aggregate amount of $.33 per share. One half of the Trust I securities were redeemed on June 8,
2011 and the remaining one half of the  Trust I securities  were redeemed on July 1,  2011.

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 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. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total $190,726,000 and $201,117,000
of the Capital Securities outstanding qualified as  Tier 1  capital.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting
principles  in  the  preparation  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  significant
accounting  policies  are  described  in  the  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  primarily  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  4  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
problems  and  if  a  loan  should  be  placed  on  the  Company’s  internal  classified  report.  Additionally,  the
Company’s credit department reviews the majority of the Company’s loans regardless of whether they are
past due and segregates any loans with potential problems for further review. The credit department will
discuss  the  potential  problem  loans  with  the  servicing  loan  officers  to  determine  any  relevant  issues  that
were not discovered in the evaluation. Also, any analysis on loans that is provided through examinations by
regulatory  authorities  is  considered  in  the  review  process.  After  the  above  analysis  is  completed,  the
Company  will  determine  if  a  loan  should  be  placed  on  an  internal  classified  report  because  of  issues
related to the analysis of the credit, credit documents, collateral and/or  payment history.

The  Company’s  internal  classified  report  is  segregated  into  the  following  categories:  (i)  ‘‘Special
Review  Credits,’’  (ii)  ‘‘Watch  List—Pass  Credits,’’  or  (iii)  ‘‘Watch  List—Substandard  Credits.’’  The  loans
placed  in  the  ‘‘Special  Review  Credits’’  category  reflect  the  Company’s  opinion  that  the  loans  reflect
potential weakness which require monitoring on a more frequent basis. The ‘‘Special Review Credits’’ are
reviewed and discussed on a regular basis with the credit department and the lending staff to determine if a
change in category is warranted. The loans placed in the ‘‘Watch List—Pass Credits’’ category reflect the
Company’s  opinion  that  the  credit  contains  weaknesses  which  represent  a  greater  degree  of  risk,  which
warrant ‘‘extra attention.’’ The ‘‘Watch List—Pass Credits’’ are reviewed and discussed on a regular basis
with  the  credit  department  and  the  lending  staff  to  determine  if  a  change  in  category  is  warranted.  The
loans  placed  in  the  ‘‘Watch  List—Substandard  Credits’’  classification  are  considered  to  be  potentially
inadequately  protected  by  the  current  sound  worth  and  debt  service  capacity  of  the  borrower  or  of  any
pledged  collateral.  These  credit  obligations,  even  if  apparently  protected  by  collateral  value,  have  shown
defined  weaknesses  related  to  adverse  financial,  managerial,  economic,  market  or  political  conditions
which may jeopardize repayment of principal and interest. Furthermore, there is the possibility that some
future  loss  could  be  sustained  by  the  bank  if  such  weaknesses  are  not  corrected.  For  loans  that  are

26

classified  as  impaired,  management  evaluates  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.  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 as impaired 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. Management
determined  in  2010  that  the  allowance  should  be  further  segmented  for  commercial  and  consumer
mortgage loans by the type of loans in order to better analyze the portfolio. Management determined in
2011  that  the  one  year  historical  loss  experience  used  in  the  calculation  should  represent  the  long  term
economic environment that began in 2008. The further segmentation in 2010 and the change in the 2011
calculation did not have a significant impact on the allowance or provision for probable loan  losses.

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 losses of the bank subsidiaries
using the amounts determined from the allowances established on specific loans, the allowance established
on  quantitative  historical  loss  percentages,  and  the  allowance  based  on  qualitative  data,  to  establish  an
appropriate  amount  to  maintain  in  the  Company’s  allowance  for  loan  loss.  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 Company paid cash dividends to the common shareholders of $.19 per share on April 18, 2011 to
all holders of record on March 28, 2011 and $.19 per share on October 17, 2011 to all holders of record on
September  30,  2011,  or  $25,648,000  in  the  aggregate.  The  Company  paid  cash  dividends  to  the  common
shareholders of $.17 per share on April 19, 2010 to all holders of record on April 1, 2010 and $.19 per share
on October 18, 2010 to all holders of record on September 30, 2010, or $24,444,000 in the aggregate during
2010.

Additionally, as a result of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the
Company  was  restricted  in  the  payment  of  dividends  and  was  not  allowed,  without  the  Treasury
Department’s  consent,  to  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. 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.  The
restrictions ceased to exist on December 23, 2011. While the IBC Board is inclined to continue to declare
regular  semi-annual  cash  dividends,  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.

In  addition,  the  Company  has  issued  common  stock  dividends  during  the  last  five-year  period  as

follows:

The  Company’s  principal  source  of  funds  to  pay  cash  dividends  on  its  Common  Stock  and  Series  A

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,  which restrictions ceased to exist on December 23,
2011.  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.  The  Company  also
received  consent  from  the  Treasury  to  pay  quarterly  dividends.  Following  receipt  of  the  Treasury
Department’s  consent,  the  Board  of  Directors  established  a  formal  stock  repurchase  program  that
authorized the repurchase of up to $40 million of common stock within the following twelve months and
on  March  10,  2011,  the  Board  of  Directors  extended  the  repurchase  program  and  again  authorized  the
repurchase  of  up  to  $40  million  of  common  stock  during  the  twelve  month  period  expiring  on  April  10,
2012, which repurchase cap the Board is inclined to increase over time. Stock repurchases may be made
from time to time, on the open market or through private transactions. Shares repurchased in this program
will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate purposes, including employee stock option plans.
As of February 21, 2012, a total of 7,747,827 shares had been repurchased under all programs at a cost of
$235,819,000. The Company will determine on an ongoing basis the best use of the funds and whether a
more  frequent  dividend  program  and  expanded  repurchase  program  are  warranted  and  beneficial  to  its
shareholders.

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, 2011.

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.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred through the date the Company
issued these financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable
or non-recognizable subsequent events.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Investment Securities

The  Company  classifies  debt  and  equity  securities  into  one  of  these  categories:  held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale,  or  trading.  Such  classifications  are  reassessed  for  appropriate  classification  at  each
reporting  date.  Securities  that  are  intended  and  expected  to  be  held  until  maturity  are  classified  as
‘‘held-to-maturity’’ and are carried at amortized cost for financial statement reporting. Securities that are
not  positively  expected  to  be  held  until  maturity,  but  are  intended  to  be  held  for  an  indefinite  period  of
time  are  classified  as  ‘‘available-for-sale’’  or  ‘‘trading’’  and  are  carried  at  their  fair  value.  Unrealized
holding  gains  and  losses  are  included  in  net  income  for  those  securities  classified  as  ‘‘trading’’,  while
unrealized  holding  gains  and  losses  related  to  those  securities  classified  as  ‘‘available-for-sale’’  are
excluded  from  net  income  and  reported  net  of  tax  as  other  comprehensive  income  and  in  shareholders’
equity  as  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  until  realized.  The  Company  did  not  maintain  any
trading securities during the three year period  ended December 31, 2011.

Mortgage-backed  securities  held  at  December  31,  2011  and  2010  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 Mae are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government, however, the Company believes that the
quality  of  the  bonds  is  similar  to  other  AAA  rated  bonds  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 security prior to a recovery in fair
value. If the Company determines that (1) it intends to sell the security or (2) it is more likely than not that
it will be required to sell the security before it’s anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment
that  is  recognized  in  earnings  is  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  fair  value  of  the  security  and  the
Company’s amortized cost in the security. If the Company determines that it (1) does not intend to sell the
security  and  (2)  it  will  not  be  more  likely  than  not  required  to  sell  the  security  before  it’s  anticipated
recovery,  the  other-than-temporary  impairment  is  segregated  into  its  two  components  (1)  the  amount  of
impairment  related  to  credit  loss  and  (2)  the  amount  of  impairment  related  to  other  factors.  The
difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost is
the credit loss recognized through earnings and an adjustment to the cost basis of the security. The amount
of impairment related to other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss). 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
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 are expected future
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

42

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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. Real estate acquired by foreclosure and deeds in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair
value less estimated selling costs (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  probable  loan  losses,  if  necessary.  Any  subsequent  write-downs  are  charged  against  other
non-interest expense. Other real estate owned totaled $86,626,000 and $87,192,000 at December 31, 2011
and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010, 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

43

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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,  2011,  2010  and  2009,  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 2008.

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,  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 October 1, 2011, 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,  2011,  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  6—
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived  assets,  such  as  property,  plant  and  equipment,  and  purchased  intangibles  subject  to
amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair
value  of  the  asset.  Assets  to  be  disposed  of  would  be  separately  presented  in  the  statement  of  condition
and  reported  at  the  lower  of  the  carrying  value  or  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell,  and  are  no  longer
depreciated.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  disposed  group  classified  as  held  for  sale  would  be  presented
separately in the appropriate asset and  liability  sections  of  the statement of condition.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

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

Accounting for Transfers and Servicing  of  Financial Assets

The Company accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
based on the application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. After a transfer of
financial assets, the Company recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and liabilities it has
incurred,  derecognizes  financial  assets  when  control  has  been  surrendered  and  derecognizes  liabilities
when  extinguished.  The  Company  has  retained  mortgage  servicing  rights  in  connection  with  the  sale  of
mortgage loans. Because the Company may not initially identify loans as originated for resale, all loans are
initially treated as held for investment. The value of the mortgage servicing rights are reviewed periodically
for impairment and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of estimated net servicing income
or  net  servicing  losses.  The  value  of  the  mortgage  servicing  rights  is  not  significant  to  the  consolidated
statements of condition.

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

The  Company  operates  as  one  segment.  The  operating  information  used  by  the  Company’s  chief
executive  officer  for  purposes  of  assessing  performance  and  making  operating  decisions  about  the
Company is the consolidated financial statements presented in this report. The Company has four active
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  (loss).  Other

comprehensive income (loss) includes  unrealized gains  and losses  on securities available  for sale.

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.

Additionally,  subsequent  to  the  filing  of  the  Company’s  annual  report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  year
ended  December  31,  2009,  the  Company  identified  that  cash  flows  arising  from  the  purchases  of
available-for-sale  securities,  not  yet  settled,  had  been  presented  at  the  end  of  the  prior  period  in  the
consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  as  part  of  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  instead  of  investing
activity. The change resulted in a reclassification of $84.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009
from  net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  to  net  cash  provided  by  investing  activities,  which  did  not
alter  the  net  change  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents  reported.  The  impact  of  this  reclassification  is  not
considered material to the financial statements previously presented on the Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009.

New Accounting Standards

In  January  2010,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update
No.  2010-06,  to  ASC  820,  ‘‘Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures.’’  The  Update  amends  prior
accounting  guidance  regarding  fair  value  disclosures  including  required  disclosure  of  (i)  significant
amounts  of  transfers  of  assets  or  liabilities  between  Levels  1  and  2  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  and  the
reasons  for  the  transfers  (ii)  detailed  gross  information  about  activity  related  to  assets  or  liabilities
included  in  Level  3  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  for  recurring  fair  value  measurements,  (iii)  the  policy  for
determining  when  transfers  between  the  levels  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy  are  recognized  and  (iv)  the
reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant
transfers  disclosed  separately.  The  Update  further  clarifies  that  (i)  fair  value  disclosures  should  be
provided  for  each  class  of  assets  and  liabilities,  where  class  would  generally  be  a  subset  of  assets  or
liabilities  within  a  line  item  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (ii)  disclosures  about  fair  value
inputs  and  techniques  used  for  both  recurring  and  nonrecurring  fair  value  measurements  included  in
Level 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The disclosures related to the detailed gross information about
activity related to assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for recurring fair value
measurements  were  required  for  the  Company  beginning  on  January  1,  2011.  The  remaining  disclosure
requirements became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. The adoption of the update to existing
accounting  standards  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial
statements.

In  July  2010,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update
No. 2010-20, to ASC 310, ‘‘Receivables.’’ The Update amends existing disclosure requirements regarding
an entity’s financing receivables. The main objective of the Update is intended to provide users of financial
statements with greater transparency regarding an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the quality of its
financing receivables. The Update requires additional disclosures about (i) the credit risk inherent in the
entity’s  portfolio  of  financing  receivables,  (ii)  how  the  inherent  risk  in  the  portfolio  is  analyzed  and
assessed  in  arriving  at  the  allowance  for  credit  loss,  and  (iii)  the  changes  and  reasons  for  changes  in  the
allowance  for  credit  loss.  Additionally,  the  Update  clarifies  that  disclosures  should  be  made  on  a

46

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

disaggregated  basis  as  defined  in  the  Update—portfolio  segment  and  class  of  financing  receivable.
Portfolio segment is defined as the level at which the entity develops and documents a systematic method
for determining its allowance for credit loss and class of financing receivable is defined as a disaggregation
of a portfolio segment. Existing disclosures are amended by the Update to include (i) a roll forward of the
allowance  for  credit  losses  by  portfolio  segment  with  the  ending  balance  disaggregated  on  the  basis  of
impairment method, (ii) for each disaggregated balance, the related recorded investment in the financing
receivable,  (iii)  the  non-accrual  status  of  financing  receivable  by  class  of  financing  receivable,  and
(iv)  impaired  financing  receivables  by  class.  Additional  disclosures  required  by  the  Update  include
(i) credit quality indicators by class of financing receivable, (ii) the aging of past due financing receivables
by  class  of  financing  receivable,  (iii)  the  nature  and  extent  of  troubled  debt  restructuring  that  occurred
during the reporting period and their effect on the allowance for credit losses, (iv) the nature and extent of
troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period, by
class of financing receivable and their impact on the allowance for credit loss, and (v) significant purchases
and  sales  of  financing  receivables  during  the  reporting  period  disaggregated  by  portfolio  segment.  The
Update was effective for the Company as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required at the
end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period were required for the
Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Please see Note 4—Allowance for Probable Loan
Losses.

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2010-28, to ASC 350, ‘‘Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.’’ The Update modifies Step 1 of the goodwill
impairment test for reporting units that have zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units,
an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a
goodwill impairment exists. The qualitative factors that should be evaluated in making the more likely than
not determination are consistent with existing guidance in ASC 350. The Update will be effective for the
Company for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the update to
existing  standards  is  not  expected  to  have  a  significant  impact  to  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial
statements.

In  April  2011, 

the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 

issued  Accounting  Standards
Update  No.  2011-02,  to  ASC  310,  ‘‘Receivables.’’  The  Update  clarifies  which  loan  modifications  are
troubled  debt  restructurings  and  provides  additional  guidance  to  help  creditors  determine  whether  a
modification of a loan meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. For modifications
that are troubled debt restructurings, the Update requires that a creditor separately conclude that (i) the
restructuring constitutes a concession, and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The Update
became effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and was applied
retrospectively for the 2011 annual reporting period. The adoption of the Update did not have a significant
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  April  2011, 

the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 

issued  Accounting  Standards
Update No 2011-03, to ASC 860, ‘‘Transfers and Servicing.’’ The Update is intended to improve financial
reporting  of  repurchase  agreements  and  other  agreements  that  both  entitle  and  obligate  a  transferor  to
repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The Update removes the following from the
assessment  of  effective  control  included  in  existing  literature  (i)  the  criteria  requiring  the  transferor  to
have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the
event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criteria. The
Update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and is to

47

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the
effective  date.  The  adoption  of  the  Update  to  existing  standards  is  not  expected  to  have  a  significant
impact to the Company’s consolidated financial  statements.

In  May  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update
No. 2011-04, to ASC 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurement.’’ The Update is intended to converge the fair value
measurement  guidance  in  U.S.  GAAP  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards.  The  Update
clarifies  the  application  of  existing  fair  value  measurement  requirements,  changes  certain  principles  in
existing  guidance  and  requires  additional  fair  value  disclosures.  The  Update  is  effective  for  interim  and
annual  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2011.  The  provisions  of  the  Update  are  to  be  applied
prospectively and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the Update to existing standards is not
expected to have a significant impact  to  the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In  June  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update
No. 2011-05, to ASC 220, ‘‘Comprehensive Income.’’ The Update is an amendment to existing literature
and requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous
statement  of  comprehensive  income  or  in  two  separate,  but  consecutive  statements.  The  Update  also
requires  entities  to  present,  on  the  face  of  the  financial  statement,  reclassification  adjustments  for  items
that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where
the  components  of  that  net  income  and  the  components  of  other  comprehensive  income  are  presented.
The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in
stockholders’  equity  was  eliminated.  The  Update  is  effective  for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the Update to existing standards is
not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s  consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
No.  2011-08  to  ASC  350,  ‘‘Intangibles—Goodwill  and  Other.’’  The  Update  amends  existing  literature  to
give  entities  the  option  to  first  assess  qualitative  factors  to  determine  whether  the  existence  of  events  or
circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit
is  less  than  its  carrying  amount.  If,  after  assessing  the  totality  of  events  or  circumstances,  an  entity
determines  it  is  not  more  likely  than  not  that  the  fair  value  of  a  reporting  unit  is  less  than  its  carrying
amount,  then  performing  the  two  step  impairment  test  is  unnecessary.  If  an  entity  concludes  otherwise,
then it is required to perform the first step of the two step impairment test by calculating the fair value of
the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The Update
is  effective  for  annual  and  interim  goodwill  impairment  tests  performed  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after
December 15, 2011. The adoption of the Update to existing standards is not expected to have a significant
impact to the Company’s consolidated financial  statements.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2011-12 to ASC 220, ‘‘Comprehensive Income.’’ The Update defers the effective date for amendments
to  the  presentation  of  reclassifications  of  items  out  of  other  accumulated  comprehensive  income,  as
required by Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The deferment is intended to allow the Financial
Accounting Standards Board adequate time to re-deliberate the proposed changes to present on the face
of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated comprehensive income on the
components of net income and other comprehensive income for  all periods presented.

Residential  mortgage-backed  securities  are  securities  issued  by  Freddie  Mac,  Fannie  Mae,  Ginnie
Mae  or  non-government  entities.  Investments  in  residential  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,  however,  the  Company
believes  that  the  quality  of  the  bonds  is  similar  to  other  AAA  rated  bonds  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  unrealized  losses  on  investments  in  residential  mortgage-backed  securities  are  primarily  caused
by changes in market interest rates. Residential mortgage-backed securities are primarily securities issued
by 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  Company  believes  that  the  quality  of  the  bonds  is  similar  to  other  AAA  rated  bonds  with
limited credit risk, particularly given the placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship
by  the  federal  government  in  early  September  2008.  The  decrease  in  fair  value  on  residential  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  more  than  likely  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  residential  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  residential  mortgage-backed  securities  that  have  strong  credit  backgrounds  and  include

51

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(2) Investment Securities (Continued)

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.  It  is
the conclusion of the Company that the investments in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities
are other-than-temporarily impaired due to both credit and other than credit issues. An impairment charge
of  $977,000  ($635,000,  after  tax),  was  recorded  in  2011  on  the  non-agency  residential  mortgage  backed
securities.  An  impairment  charge  of  $8,416,000  ($5,470,000,  after  tax),  was  recorded  in  2010  on  the
non-agency  residential  mortgage  backed  securities.  The  impairment  charges  represent  the  credit  related
impairment on the securities.

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 more than likely 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.

(4) Allowance for Probable Loan Losses

The allowance for probable loan losses primarily 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 for probable loan
losses is derived from the following elements: (i) allowances established on specific loans, which are based
on a review of the individual characteristics of each loan, including the customer’s ability to repay the loan,
the underlying collateral values, and the industry the customer operates in, (ii) allowances based on actual
historical  loss  experience  for  similar  types  of  loans  in  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio,  and  (iii)  allowances
based  on  general  economic  conditions,  changes  in  the  mix  of  loans,  company  resources,  border  risk  and
credit quality indicators, among other things. All segments of the loan portfolio continue to be impacted by
the  prolonged  economic  downturn.  Loans  secured  by  real  estate  could  be  impacted  negatively  by  the
continued  economic  environment  and  resulting  decrease  in  collateral  values.  Consumer  loans  may  be
impacted by continued and prolonged unemployment rates.

The Company’s management continually reviews the allowance for loan losses of the bank subsidiaries
using the amounts determined from the allowances established on specific loans, the allowance established
on  quantitative  historical  loss  percentages,  and  the  allowance  based  on  qualitative  data  to  establish  an
appropriate  amount  to  maintain  in  the  Company’s  allowance  for  loan  loss.  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. While the calculation of the allowance for probable loan losses utilizes
management’s best judgment and all information available, the adequacy of the allowance is dependent on
a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including, among other things, the performance of the
entire loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of regulatory authorities towards
loan classifications.

(4) Allowance for Probable Loan Losses  (Continued)

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
problems  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, an analysis of 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.

While the Texas and Oklahoma economies are performing better and appear to be recovering faster
than  other  parts  of  the  country,  Texas  and  Oklahoma  are  not  completely  immune  to  the  problems
associated with the U.S. economy. Thus, the risk of loss associated with all segments of the loan portfolio
in  these  markets  continues  to  be  impacted  by  the  prolonged  economic  downturn.  The  downturn  in  the
economy and other risk factors are minimized by the underwriting standards of the bank subsidiaries. The
general  underwriting  standards  encompass  the  following  principles:  (i)  the  financial  strength  of  the
borrower including strong earnings, a high net worth, significant liquidity and an acceptable debt to worth
ratio, (ii) managerial and business competence, (iii) the ability to repay, (iv) for a new business, projected
cash flows, (v) loan to value, (vi) in the case of a secondary guarantor, a guarantor financial statement, and
(vii)  financial  and/or  other  character  references.  Although  the  underwriting  standards  reduce  the  risk  of
loss, unique risk factors exist in each type  of loan  that  the bank subsidiaries invest.

Commercial and industrial loans are mostly secured by the collateral pledged by the borrower that are
directly  related  to  the  business  activities  of  the  company  such  as  accounts  receivable  and  inventory.  The
ability of the borrower to collect accounts receivable, and to turn inventory into sales are risk factors in the
repayment of the loan.

Construction  and  land  development  loans  can  carry  risk  of  repayment  when  projects  incur  cost
overruns, have an increase in the price of building materials, encounter zoning and environmental issues,
or encounter other factors that may affect the completion of a project on time and on budget. Additionally,
repayment  risk  may  be  negatively  impacted  when  the  market  experiences  a  deterioration  in  the  value  of
real  estate.  Risks  specifically  related  to  1-4  family  development  loans  also  include  the  practice  by  the
mortgage industry of more restrictive underwriting standards, which inhibits the buyer from obtaining long
term financing, and excessive housing  and lot inventory  in the market.

Commercial  real  estate  loans  demonstrate  a  risk  of  repayment  when  market  values  deteriorate,  the
business  experiences  turnover  in  key  management,  the  business  has  an  inability  to  attract  or  keep
occupancy  levels  stable,  or  when  the  market  experiences  an  exit  of  a  specific  business  industry  that  is
significant to the local economy, such as  a manufacturing plant.

First and second lien residential 1-4 family mortgage and consumer loan repayments may be affected

by unemployment or underemployment  and deteriorating market values of real  estate.

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  when
evaluating  loans  (i)  individually  or  (ii)  collectively.  The  Company’s  provision  for  probable  loan  losses
decreased  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  mainly  due  to  a  decrease  in  the  Company’s  charge-off
experience  and  a  decrease  in  the  loan  portfolio.  The  Company’s  provision  for  probable  loan  losses
decreased for the year ended December 31, 2010 mainly due to the decrease in the required reserves for
impaired loans analyzed on an individual basis. The impaired loans have been measured based on the fair
value  of  collateral.  The  majority  of  these  loans  show  a  fair  value  greater  than  the  carrying  value.  The
Company’s provision for probable loan losses increased for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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.

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 average recorded investment in impaired loans was $142,310,000, $130,481,000, and $149,528,000
for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired
loans was $547,000 for the year ended  December 31, 2009.

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. 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.  Loans  accounted  for  as  ‘‘troubled  debt
restructuring’’ were not significant.

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.

(4) Allowance for Probable Loan Losses  (Continued)

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.  For  loans  that  are
classified  as  impaired,  management  evaluates  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. 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
as impaired 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.

(10) Junior Subordinated Deferrable  Interest Debentures

The Company has formed eight statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware, for
the  purpose  of  issuing  trust  preferred  securities.  The  eight  statutory  business  trusts  formed  by  the
Company  (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.  As  of  December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010,  the  principal  amount  of  debentures
outstanding  totaled  $190,726,000  and  $201,117,000,  respectively.  As  a  result  of  the  participation  in  the
TARP  Capital  Purchase  Program,  the  Company  was  not  permitted,  without  the  consent  of  the  Treasury
Department, to redeem any of the Debentures. This restriction ceased to exist on December 23, 2011. On
March  14,  2011,  upon  the  request  of  the  Company,  the  Treasury  consented  to  the  repurchase  by  the
Company  of  the  $10.4  million  in  trust  preferred  securities  of  Trust  I,  as  well  as  related  costs  for  a  total
payment  of  approximately  $11  million,  provided  that  the  aggregate  amount  of  the  Company’s
(i)  semi-annual  cash  dividend,  (ii)  common  stock  repurchases  and  (iii)  trust  preferred  securities
redemptions  for  a  given  semi-annual  period  would  not  exceed  the  originally  permitted  semi-annual  cash
dividend aggregate amount of $.33 per share. One half of the Trust I securities were redeemed on June 8,
2011 and the remaining one half of the  Trust I securities  were redeemed on July 1,  2011.

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(10) Junior Subordinated Deferrable  Interest Debentures  (Continued)

Default (as defined in the Indentures) has occurred and is continuing, to defer payment of interest on the
Debentures 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. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the total $190,726,000 and $201,117,000, respectively, of
the Capital Securities outstanding qualified  as Tier  1  capital.

(11) 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, 2011, 2010, and 2009 is set forth in the following table:

(12) Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a deferred profit sharing plan for full-time employees with a minimum of one year
of continuous employment. The Company’s annual contribution to the plan is based on a percentage, as
determined by the Board of Directors, of income before income taxes, as defined, for the year. Allocation
of the contribution among officers and employees’ accounts is based on length of service and amount of
salary earned. Profit sharing costs of $3,900,000, $4,095,000 and $4,366,000 were charged to income for the
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009,  respectively.

(13) 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.

(15) 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, 2011, 14,161 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. No options were granted for the year  ended December 31, 2010.

(16) 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  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 16, 2011, in the amount of $400,000
for  his  performance  in  2011.  Mr.  Nixon  was  also  awarded  CPP-compliant  RSU’s  granted  as  of
December  15,  2010  and  December  18,  2009  of  $400,000  and  $250,000  for  his  performance  in  2010  and
2009, respectively. 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, 2011 were
$47,100,000.

Cash of approximately $73,325,000 and $67,745,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

(17) Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and  Other Matters (Continued)

The  Company  is  involved  in  a  dispute  related  to  certain  tax  matters  that  were  inherited  by  the
Company in its 2004 acquisition of Local Financial Corporation (‘‘LFIN’’). The dispute involves claims by
the former controlling shareholders of LFIN related to approximately $14 million of tax refunds received
by the Company based on deductions taken in 2003 by LFIN in connection with losses on loans acquired
from a failed thrift and a dispute LFIN had with the FDIC regarding the tax benefits related to the failed
thrift  acquisition  which  originated  in  1988.  On  March  5,  2010,  judgment  was  entered  on  a  jury  verdict
rendered  against  the  Company  in  the  U.S.  District  Court  for  the  Western  District  of  Oklahoma  (the
‘‘Court’’). Other than the tax refunds that are in dispute, the Company does not have any other disputes
regarding  tax  refunds  received  by  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  LFIN  acquisition.  An  amended
judgment was entered in the case on November 19, 2010, in the amount of approximately $24.25 million
and  was  final  and  appealable.  During  December  2010,  the  Company  deposited  $24.4  million  with  the
Court  in  lieu  of  a  supersedeas  bond  and  the  Company  appealed  the  judgment.  On  January  5,  2012,  the
Court  affirmed  the  judgment  rendered  on  November  19,  2010.  The  Company  has  filed  a  petition  for
rehearing.

In  October  2010,  the  Company  was  named  as  a  defendant  in  two  purported  class-action  lawsuits,
including one filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and one filed in
the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  Southern  District  of  Florida  where  similar  lawsuits  against  a
number  of  other  banks  are  currently  pending  in  a  multi-district  proceeding  known  as  ‘‘In  re  Checking
Account  Overdraft  Litigation.’’  The  Texas  lawsuit  was  dismissed  without  prejudice  on  January  12,  2011,
when the parties stipulated to arbitrate the matter. The Florida lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on
September  30,  2011,  when  the  parties  settled  the  matter.  The  amount  expensed  by  the  Company  in
connection  with  the  settlement  of  the  lawsuit  was  not  significant.  The  settlement  amount  of  the  Florida
lawsuit resolved all pending cases against the Company connected with overdraft fees or posting order, and
no  other  substantively  similar  litigation  against  the  Company  or  any  of  its  subsidiary  banks  is  known  to
exist.

On September 22, 2011, the Company announced the approval of a restructuring plan that resulted in
the closing of fifty five (55) in store branches by December 31, 2011. The branch closures were a result of
reduced  levels  of  revenue  resulting  from  regulatory  changes  related  to  interchange  fee  income.  The
branches were closed in order to align IBC’s expenses with the reduced levels of revenue, protecting the
Company’s  financial  strength  while  preserving  IBC’s  free  products  program.  This  restructuring  plan
resulted in combined charges to the Company of $5.36 million, before tax, which were recognized in the
fourth quarter. The charges are included in ‘‘Depreciation of bank premises and equipment’’ and ‘‘Other’’
in the consolidated statement of income  in the Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements.

(18) Transactions with Related Parties

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  make  loans  to  directors  and
executive officers of the Corporation, including their affiliates, families and companies in which they are
principal  owners.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  these  loans  are  made  on  substantially  the  same  terms,
including  interest  rates  and  collateral,  as  those  prevailing  at  the  time  for  comparable  transactions  with
other  persons  and  do  not  involve  more  than  normal  risk  of  collectability  or  present  other  unfavorable
features.  The  aggregate  amounts  receivable  from  such  related  parties  amounted  to  approximately
$51,469,000 and $53,052,000 at December  31, 2011 and 2010,  respectively.

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

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  bank  subsidiaries  are  party  to  financial  instruments  with
off-statement of condition risk to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments
include commitments to their customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements
of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of condition. The contract
amounts  of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  bank  subsidiaries  have  in  particular
classes  of  financial  instruments.  At  December  31,  2011,  the  following  financial  amounts  of  instruments,
whose contract amounts represent credit risks, were outstanding:

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

$1,042,237,000
60,895,000
112,343,000
20,224,000

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, 2011, the
maximum  potential  amount  of  future  payments  is  $112,343,000.  At  December  31,  2011,  the  fair  value  of
these  guarantees  is  not  significant.  Unsecured  letters  of  credit  totaled  $27,991,000  and  $29,160,000  at
December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

(20) 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.

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.  Both  the  Senior
Preferred Stock and Warrant are 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, 2011, the subsidiary banks could pay dividends of up to $585,000,000 to the Corporation
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.

(20) Capital Requirements (Continued)

Additionally, as a result of the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the
Company was restricted in the payment of dividends and was not allowed, without Treasury Department’s
consent, to 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. 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. The restriction  ceased to exist  on December 23,  2011.

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,  2011,  that  the  Company  and  each  of  the  bank  subsidiaries  met  all  capital  adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

As  of  December  31,  2011,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  categorized  all  the  bank  subsidiaries  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as ‘‘well capitalized,’’ the Company and the bank subsidiaries
must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
categorization of the Company or any of  the bank subsidiaries  as well  capitalized.

(21) Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) Topic 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures’’
(‘‘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.

(21) Fair Value (Continued)

(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.

The  following  table  represents  assets  and  liabilities  reported  on  the  consolidated  statements  of

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  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 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, included estimates on future
principal  prepayment  rates,  default  and  loss  severity  rates.  The  Company  estimates  that  future  principal
prepayment rates will range from 4 - 5% and used a 13% discount rate. Default rates used in the model
were 10 - 11% for the first year and 7% thereafter, and loss severity rates started at 60% for the first year
and are decreased by 10% for the following three years, and  remains  at 20% thereafter.

Certain  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis.  They  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).

(21) Fair Value (Continued)

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are limited to impaired loans
and other real estate owned. Impaired loans are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair
value of impaired loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 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. Impaired loans are remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific
valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for probable loan losses based upon the fair value of the
underlying collateral.

Other  real  estate  owned  is  comprised  of  real  estate  acquired  by  foreclosure  and  deeds  in  lieu  of
foreclosure. Other real estate owned 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)  within
level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 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  probable  loan  losses,  if
necessary. The fair value is reviewed periodically and subsequent write downs are made accordingly. Other
real estate owned is included in other assets on the consolidated financial statements. For the years ended
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $1,100,000 and $22,790,000 in charges
to the allowance for probable loan losses in connection with other real estate owned. For the years ended
December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010,  the  Company  recorded  $9,509,000  and  $719,000  in  write
downs in fair value in connection with other real  estate owned.

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

December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are outlined below.

Cash and Due From Banks

For these short-term instruments, the  carrying  amount  is a reasonable estimate of 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  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.  See  disclosures  of  fair  value  of
investment securities in Note 2.

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.

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(21) Fair Value (Continued)

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,  2011,  and  December  31,
2010,  the  carrying  amount  of  fixed  rate  performing  loans  was  $1,273,989,000  and  $1,337,827,000,
respectively, and the estimated fair value was $1,200,837,000  and $1,226,413,000,  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, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of time deposits was $3,311,381,000 and
$3,437,640,000,  respectively,  and  the  estimated  fair  value  was  $3,323,680,000  and  $3,449,980,000,
respectively.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

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,  2011  and  December  31,  2010.  The  fair  value  of  the  long-term  instruments  is  based  on
established  market  spreads.  At  December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010,  the  carrying  amount  of
long-term repurchase agreements was $1,000,000,000 and the estimated fair value was $1,161,849,000 and
$1,123,774,000, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures

The Company currently has fixed and floating rate 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The fair value of the fixed rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures is based on established
market spreads to the debentures. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of
fixed  rate  junior  subordinated  deferrable  interest  debentures  was  $87,630,000  and  $139,259,000,
respectively, and the estimated fair value was $43,403,000 and $74,103,000,  respectively.

Other Borrowed Funds

The company currently has short and long-term borrowings issued from the Federal Home Loan Bank
(‘‘FHLB’’). Due to the contractual terms of the short-term borrowings, the carrying amounts approximated
fair  value  at  December  31,  2011  and  December  31,  2010.  The  fair  value  of  the  long-term  borrowings  is
based  on  established  market  spreads  for  similar  types  of  borrowings.  At  December  31,  2011  and

86

INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Continued)

(21) Fair Value (Continued)

December  31,  2010,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  long-term  FHLB  borrowings  was  $6,661,000  and
$6,780,000, respectively, and the estimated  fair value was $6,998,000 and $6,780,000, 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.
