PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.®, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), was formed in 1983 as a vehicle to acquire the
former Allied Bank in Edna, Texas which was chartered in 1949 as The First National Bank of Edna. The Company is a
registered financial holding company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of its bank
subsidiary, Prosperity Bank® (“Prosperity Bank®” or the “Bank”). The Bank provides a broad line of financial products and
services to small and medium-sized businesses and consumers. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank operated eight-five
(85) full-service banking locations, with thirty-three (33) in the Greater Houston Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area
(“CMSA”), seventeen (17) in fifteen contiguous counties situated south and southwest of Houston and extending into South
Texas, six (6) in the Austin, Texas area, sixteen (16) in the Corpus Christi, Texas area, two (2) in the east Texas area and
eleven (11) in the Dallas, Texas area. The Greater Houston CMSA consists of Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend,
Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto and Waller counties. The Company’s headquarters are located at
Prosperity Bank Plaza, 4295 San Felipe in Houston, Texas and its telephone number is (713) 693-9300. The Company’s
website address is www.prosperitybanktx.com.
The Company’s market consists of the communities served by its banking centers. US Highway 59 (scheduled to
become Interstate Highway 69), which serves as the primary “NAFTA Highway” linking the interior United States and
Mexico, runs directly through the center of the Company’s market area. The increased traffic along this NAFTA Highway
has enhanced economic activity in the Company’s market area and created opportunities for growth. The diverse nature of the
economies in each local market served by the Company provides the Company with a varied customer base and allows the
Company to spread its lending risk throughout a number of different industries including farming, ranching, petrochemicals,
manufacturing, tourism, recreation and professional service firms and their principals. The Company’s market areas outside
of Houston, Dallas, Corpus Christi and Austin are dominated by either small community banks or branches of large regional
banks. Management believes that the Company, as one of the few mid-sized financial institutions that combines responsive
community banking with the sophistication of a regional bank holding company, has a competitive advantage in its market
areas and excellent growth opportunities through acquisitions, new banking center locations and additional business
development.
Operating under a community banking philosophy, the Company seeks to develop broad customer relationships based
on service and convenience while maintaining its conservative approach to lending and strong asset quality. The Company
has grown through a combination of internal growth, the acquisition of community banks, branches of banks and the opening
of new banking centers. Utilizing a low cost of funds and employing stringent cost controls, the Company has been profitable
in every full year of its existence, including the period of adverse economic conditions in Texas in the late 1980s. From 1988
to 1992, as a sound and profitable institution, the Company took advantage of this economic downturn and acquired the
deposits and certain assets of failed banks in West Columbia, El Campo and Cuero, Texas and two failed banks in Houston,
which diversified the Company’s franchise and increased its core deposits. The Company opened a full-service banking
center in Victoria, Texas in 1993 and the following year established a banking center in Bay City, Texas. The Company
expanded its Bay City presence in 1996 with the acquisition of an additional branch location from Norwest Bank Texas (now
Wells Fargo), and in 1997, the Company acquired the Angleton, Texas branch of Wells Fargo Bank. In 1998, the Company
enhanced its West Columbia Banking Center with the purchase of a commercial bank branch located in West Columbia and
acquired Union State Bank in East Bernard, Texas.

2005 Acquisitions
On December 1, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of Grapeland Bancshares, Inc. (the “Grapeland
acquisition”), Grapeland, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, Grapeland merged into the Company and subsequently,
Grapeland’s wholly owned subsidiary, First State Bank of Grapeland, merged into the Bank. The Company issued 232,888
shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Grapeland. Grapeland was privately held and
operated two (2) banking offices in Grapeland and Crockett, Texas, both of which became full service banking centers of the
Company.
On March 1, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of First Capital Bankers, Inc. (the “First Capital
acquisition”), Corpus Christi, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, First Capital was merged into the Company and
subsequently, First Capital’s wholly owned subsidiary, FirstCapital Bank, s.s.b., was merged into the Bank. The Company
issued approximately 5.079 million shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of First
Capital and converted all outstanding options to acquire First Capital common stock into options to acquire approximately
234,000 shares of Company common stock. First Capital was privately held and operated thirty-two (32) banking offices in
and around Corpus Christi, Houston and Victoria, Texas, five of which were closed and consolidated with existing banking
centers of the Company.
Pending Acquisition
On November 16, 2005, the Company announced its proposed acquisition of SNB Bancshares, Inc. (“SNB”), Sugar
Land, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, SNB will merge into the Company and subsequently, SNB’s wholly owned
subsidiary, Southern National Bank of Texas will merge into the Bank. The Company expects to issue approximately
4.448 million shares of its common stock and approximately $93.0 million in cash for all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of SNB subject to adjustment as provided in the agreement. SNB is publicly traded and operates five
(5) banking offices in Fort Bend County, Houston and Katy, Texas and two (2) stand alone motor banks in Houston, Texas.
SNB has an additional banking office under construction in Katy, Texas. As of December 31, 2005, SNB had, on a
consolidated basis, total assets of $1.025 billion, loans (including loans held for sale) of $652.8 million, deposits of $892.0
million and shareholders’ equity of $82.5 million.

securities it issued.
Available Information
The Company’s website address is www.prosperitybanktx.com. The Company makes available free of charge on or
through its website its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all
amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this annual
report on Form 10-K and is not part of this or any other report.
Officers and Associates
The Company’s directors and officers are important to the Company’s success and play a key role in the Company’s
business development efforts by actively participating in civic and public service activities in the communities served by the
Company, including the Rotary Club, Lion’s Club, Pilot Club, United Way and Chamber of Commerce.
The Company has invested heavily in its officers and associates by recruiting talented officers in its market areas and
providing them with economic incentive in the form of stock options and bonuses based on cross-selling performance. The
senior management team has substantial experience in the Houston, Dallas, Austin and Corpus Christi markets and the
surrounding communities in which the Company has a presence. Each banking center location is administered by a local
president or manager with knowledge of the community and lending expertise in the specific industries found in the
community. The Company entrusts its banking center Presidents and Managers with authority and flexibility within general
parameters with respect to product pricing and decision making in order to avoid the bureaucratic structure of larger banks.
The Company operates each banking center as a separate profit center, maintaining separate data with respect to each banking
center’s net interest income, efficiency ratio, deposit growth, loan growth and overall profitability. Banking center presidents
and managers are accountable for performance in these areas and compensated accordingly. The Company’s local banking
centers have no 1-800 telephone numbers. Each banking center has its own listed local business telephone number, which
enables a customer to be served by a local banker with decision making authority.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company and the Bank had 859 full-time equivalent associates, 299 of whom were
officers of the Bank. The Company provides medical and hospitalization insurance to its full-time associates. The Company
considers its relations with associates to be excellent. Neither the Company nor the Bank is a party to any collective
bargaining agreement.
Banking Activities
The Company, through the Bank, offers a variety of traditional loan and deposit products to its customers, which
consist primarily of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. The Bank tailors its products to the specific needs of
customers in a given market. At December 31, 2005, the Bank maintained approximately 185,000 separate deposit accounts
and 21,000 separate loan accounts and 23.1% of the Bank’s total deposits were noninterest-bearing demand deposits. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s average cost of funds was 1.75% and the Company’s average cost of deposits
(excluding all borrowings) was 1.56%.
The Company has been an active mortgage lender, with commercial mortgage and 1-4 family residential loans
comprising 57.0% of the Company’s total loans as of December 31, 2005. The Company also offers loans for automobiles
and other consumer durables, home equity loans, debit cards, internet banking and other cash management services and
automated telephone banking. By offering certificates of deposit, checking with interest accounts, savings accounts and
overdraft protection at competitive rates, the Company gives its depositors a full range of traditional deposit products.
The businesses targeted by the Company in its lending efforts are primarily those that require loans in the $100,000 to
$8.0 million range. The Company offers these businesses a broad array of loan products including term loans, lines of credit
and loans for working capital, business expansion and the purchase of equipment and machinery, interim construction loans
for builders and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. For its business customers, the Company has developed a
specialized checking product called Small Business Checking which provides fixed discounted fees for checking.
6
Business Strategies
The Company’s main objective is to increase deposits and loans internally, as well as through additional expansion
opportunities, while maintaining efficiency, individualized customer service and maximizing profitability. To achieve this
objective, the Company has employed the following strategic goals:
Continue Community Banking Emphasis. The Company intends to continue operating as a community banking
organization focused on meeting the specific needs of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses in its market areas.
The Company will continue to provide a high degree of responsiveness combined with a wide variety of banking products
and services. The Company staffs its banking centers with experienced bankers with lending expertise in the specific
industries found in the community, giving them authority to make certain pricing and credit decisions, thereby attempting to
avoid the bureaucratic structure of larger banks.
Increase Loan Volume and Diversify Loan Portfolio. While maintaining its conservative approach to lending, the
Company has emphasized both new and existing loan products, focusing on growing its construction, commercial mortgage
and commercial loan portfolios. During the two-year period from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2005, the Company’s
construction loans grew from $36.5 million to $206.7 million, or 466.6%. The Company’s commercial and industrial loans
grew from $94.0 million to $222.8 million, or 137.0%, and its commercial mortgages increased from $260.9 million to
$566.4 million, or 117.1% for the same period. In addition, the Company targets professional service firms including legal
and medical practices for both loans secured by owner-occupied premises and personal loans to their principals.
Continue Strict Focus on Efficiency. The Company plans to maintain its stringent cost control practices and policies.
The Company has invested significantly in the infrastructure required to centralize many of its critical operations, such as
data processing and loan processing. For its banking centers, which the Company operates as independent profit centers, the
Company supplies complete support in the areas of loan review, internal audit, compliance and training. Management
believes that this centralized infrastructure can accommodate substantial additional growth while enabling the Company to
minimize operational costs through certain economies of scale.
Enhance Cross-Selling. The Company recognizes that its customer base provides significant opportunities to cross-sell
various products and it seeks to develop broader customer relationships by identifying cross-selling opportunities. The
Company uses incentives and friendly competition to encourage cross-selling efforts and increase cross-selling results among
its associates. Officers and associates have access to each customer’s existing and related account relationships and are better
able to inform customers of additional products when customers visit or call the various banking centers or use their drive-in
facilities. In addition, the Company includes product information in monthly statements and other mailings.
Maintain Strong Asset Quality. The Company intends to maintain the strong asset quality that has been representative
of its historical loan portfolio. As the Company diversifies and increases its lending activities, it may face higher risks of
nonpayment and increased risks in the event of economic downturns. The Company intends, however, to continue to employ
the strict underwriting guidelines and comprehensive loan review process that has contributed to its low incidence of
nonperforming assets and its minimal charge-offs in relation to its size.
Expand Market Share Through Internal Growth and a Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. The Company intends to
continue seeking opportunities, both inside and outside its existing markets, to expand either by acquiring existing banks or
branches of banks or by establishing new banking centers. All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accretive to earnings
within 12 months after acquisition date and generally have supplied the Company with relatively low-cost deposits which
have been used to fund the Company’s lending and investing activities. However, the Company makes no guarantee that
future acquisitions, if any, will be accretive to earnings within any particular time period. Factors used by the Company to
evaluate expansion opportunities include the similarity in management and operating philosophies, whether the acquisition
will be accretive to earnings and enhance shareholder value, the ability to achieve economies of scale to improve the
efficiency ratio and the opportunity to enhance the Company’s market presence.
Competition
The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of the Company depends principally on its ability to
compete in its market areas. The Company competes with other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms,
asset-based nonbank lenders and certain other nonfinancial entities, including retail stores which may maintain their own
credit programs and certain governmental organizations which may offer more favorable financing than the Company. The
Company believes it has been able to compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service,
technology and responsive decision-making with respect to loans; by establishing long-term customer relationships and
building customer loyalty; and by providing products and services designed to address the specific needs of its customers.

Supervision and Regulation
The supervision and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries is intended primarily for the
protection of depositors, the deposit insurance funds of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the banking
system as a whole, and not for the protection of the bank holding company shareholders or creditors. The banking agencies
have broad enforcement power over bank holding companies and banks including the power to impose substantial fines and
other penalties for violations of laws and regulations.
The following description summarizes some of the laws to which the Company and the Bank are subject. References in
this annual report on Form 10-K to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries thereof, do not purport to be
complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
The Company
The Company is a financial holding company pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and a bank holding company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Accordingly, the Company is subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve
Board”). The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the BHCA and other federal laws subject financial and bank holding companies to
particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and
activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.
Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank
holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if
prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy
provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding
company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to
each of its banking subsidiaries and commit resources to their support. Such support may be required at times when, absent
this Federal Reserve Board policy, a holding company may not be inclined to provide it. As discussed below, a bank holding
company, in certain circumstances, could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an undercapitalized banking subsidiary.
In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the trustee will
be deemed to have assumed and is required to cure immediately any deficit under any commitment by the debtor holding
company to any of the federal banking agencies to maintain the capital of an insured depository institution. Any claim for
breach of such obligation will generally have priority over most other unsecured claims.
Scope of Permissible Activities. Under the BHCA, bank holding companies generally may not acquire a direct or
indirect interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding
company or from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to
or performing services for its subsidiaries, except that it may engage in, directly or indirectly, certain activities that the
Federal Reserve Board determined to be closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. In approving acquisitions or the addition of activities, the Federal Reserve considers whether the acquisition
or the additional activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience,
increased competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh such possible adverse effects as undue concentration of resources
decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, effective March 11, 2000, eliminated the barriers to
affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers and permits bank
holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance
companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act defines “financial in
nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;
insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined
to be closely related to banking. No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a
company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities
that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a bank holding company may become a financial holding company by filing a
declaration with the Federal Reserve Board if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at least a
satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”). The Company became a financial holding
company on April 18, 2000.
8
While the Federal Reserve Board is the “umbrella” regulator for financial holding companies and has the power to
examine banking organizations engaged in new activities, regulation and supervision of activities which are financial in
nature or determined to be incidental to such financial activities will be handled along functional lines. Accordingly,
activities of subsidiaries of a financial holding company will be regulated by the agency or authorities with the most
experience regulating that activity as it is conducted in a financial holding company.
Safe and Sound Banking Practices. Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and unsound
banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation Y, for example, generally requires a holding company to give the
Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be
paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more
of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may oppose the transaction if it believes that the
transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation. Depending upon the
circumstances, the Federal Reserve Board could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or
unsound banking practice.
The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their nonbanking
subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations, and
can assess civil money penalties for certain activities conducted on a knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a
substantial loss to a depository institution. The penalties can be as high as $1.0 million for each day the activity continues.
Anti-Tying Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain
services, such as extensions of credit, to other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines
to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are assigned
different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by
corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk-weighted” asset base. The guidelines require a minimum ratio of total
capital to total tangible risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% is required to consist of Tier 1 capital elements).
Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to total
tangible risk-weighted assets was 15.34% and its ratio of total capital to total tangible risk-weighted assets was 16.37%.
Tangible risk-weighted assets are calculated as total risk-weighted assets less intangible assets such as goodwill and core
deposit intangibles.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to
evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its
average total tangible consolidated assets. Certain highly rated bank holding companies may maintain a minimum leverage
ratio of 3.0%, but other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%. As of December 31, 2005,
the Company’s leverage ratio was 7.83%.
The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to
banking organizations that meet certain specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory rating. Banking
organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The
federal bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the
minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve Board guidelines also provide that banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above
the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries. Bank regulators are required to take “prompt corrective
action” to resolve problems associated with insured depository institutions whose capital declines below certain levels. In the
event an institution becomes “undercapitalized,” it must submit a capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan will not
be accepted by the regulators unless each company having control of the undercapitalized institution guarantees the
subsidiary’s compliance with the capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a
depository institution’s holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.
The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank is limited to the lesser of 5% of the
institution’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be “adequately
capitalized.” The bank regulators have greater power in situations where an institution becomes “significantly” or “critically”
undercapitalized or fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such an
institution can be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve Board approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to
consent to a consolidation or to divest the troubled institution or other affiliates.
9
Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies. The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or
control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than
5% of the voting shares of such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board
is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the
banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various competitive factors.
Control Acquisitions. The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control”
of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under
a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock
of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as the Company,
would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the Company.
In addition, any entity is required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA before
acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Company, or otherwise obtaining control or a “controlling influence” over the Company.
The Bank
The Bank is a Texas-chartered banking association, the deposits of which are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund
(“BIF”) of the FDIC. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System; therefore, the Bank is subject to supervision
and regulation by the FDIC and the Texas Banking Department. Such supervision and regulation subject the Bank to special
restrictions, requirements, potential enforcement actions and periodic examination by the FDIC and the Texas Banking
Department. Because the Federal Reserve Board regulates the bank holding company parent of the Bank, the Federal Reserve
Board also has supervisory authority which directly affects the Bank.
Equivalence to National Bank Powers. The Texas Constitution, as amended in 1986, provides that a Texas-chartered
bank has the same rights and privileges that are or may be granted to national banks domiciled in Texas. To the extent that
the Texas laws and regulations may have allowed state-chartered banks to engage in a broader range of activities than
national banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) has operated to limit this
authority. FDICIA provides that no state bank or subsidiary thereof may engage as principal in any activity not permitted for
national banks, unless the institution complies with applicable capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the activity
poses no significant risk to the insurance fund. In general, statutory restrictions on the activities of banks are aimed at
protecting the safety and soundness of depository institutions.
Financial Modernization. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a national bank may establish a financial subsidiary and
engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting as
principal, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development, real estate investment and annuity issuance. To
do so, a bank must be well capitalized, well managed and have a CRA rating of satisfactory or better. Subsidiary banks of a
financial holding company or national banks with financial subsidiaries must remain well capitalized and well managed in
order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could
include divestiture of the financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank
may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the
financial holding company or the bank has a CRA rating of satisfactory of better.
Although the powers of state chartered banks are not specifically addressed in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Texas-
chartered banks such as the Bank, will have the same if not greater powers as national banks through the parity provision
contained in the Texas Constitution.
Branching. Texas law provides that a Texas-chartered bank can establish a branch anywhere in Texas provided that the
branch is approved in advance by the Texas Banking Department. The branch must also be approved by the FDIC, which
considers a number of factors, including financial history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of management,
needs of the community and consistency with corporate powers.
Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Transactions between the Bank and its nonbanking affiliates,
including the Company, are subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the
amount of such transactions, and also requires certain levels of collateral for loans to affiliated parties. It also limits the
amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Company or its
subsidiaries.
10
Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which generally requires that certain
transactions between the Bank and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated persons. The Federal Reserve
has also issued Regulation W which codifies prior regulations under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and
interpretive guidance with respect to affiliate transactions.
The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests (collectively
referred to herein as “insiders”) contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all insured institutions and
their subsidiaries and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must
be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests.
These loans cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser
amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable
restrictions.
Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and Assets. Dividends paid by the Bank have provided a
substantial part of the Company’s operating funds and for the foreseeable future it is anticipated that dividends paid by the
Bank to the Company will continue to be the Company’s principal source of operating funds. Capital adequacy requirements
serve to limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. Under federal law, the Bank cannot pay a dividend if,
after paying the dividend, the Bank will be “undercapitalized.” The FDIC may declare a dividend payment to be unsafe and
unsound even though the Bank would continue to meet its capital requirements after the dividend. Because the Company is a
legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, its right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary
upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In the
event of a liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors and other general or
subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the institution to its
shareholders, including any depository institution holding company (such as the Company) or any shareholder or creditor
thereof.
Examinations. The FDIC periodically examines and evaluates insured banks. Based on such an evaluation, the FDIC
may revalue the assets of the institution and require that it establish specific reserves to compensate for the difference
between the FDIC-determined value and the book value of such assets. The Texas Banking Department also conducts
examinations of state banks but may accept the results of a federal examination in lieu of conducting an independent
examination. In addition, the FDIC and Texas Banking Department may elect to conduct a joint examination.
Audit Reports. Insured institutions with total assets of $500 million or more must submit annual audit reports prepared
by independent auditors to federal and state regulators. In some instances, the audit report of the institution’s holding
company can be used to satisfy this requirement. Auditors must receive examination reports, supervisory agreements and
reports of enforcement actions. In addition, financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, management’s certifications concerning responsibility for the financial statements, internal controls and
compliance with legal requirements designated by the FDIC, and an attestation by the auditor regarding the statements of
management relating to the internal controls must be submitted. For institutions with total assets of more than $3 billion,
independent auditors may be required to review quarterly financial statements. FDICIA requires that independent audit
committees be formed, consisting of outside directors only. The committees of such institutions must include members with
experience in banking or financial management, must have access to outside counsel, and must not include representatives of
large customers.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The FDIC has adopted regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital
adequacy of insured institutions. The FDIC may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a bank has
previously received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest rate risk.
The FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines generally require state banks to have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to
total tangible risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and a ratio of total capital to total tangible risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. The
capital categories have the same definitions for the Bank as for the Company. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank’s ratio of
Tier 1 capital to total tangible risk-weighted assets was 15.04% and its ratio of total capital to total tangible risk-weighted
assets was 16.08%.
The FDIC’s leverage guidelines require state banks to maintain Tier 1 capital of no less than 4.0% of average total
tangible assets, except in the case of certain highly rated banks for which the requirement is 3.0% of average total assets. The
Texas Banking Department has issued a policy which generally requires state chartered banks to maintain a leverage ratio
(defined in accordance with federal capital guidelines) of 5.0%. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank’s ratio of Tier 1 capital
to average total assets (leverage ratio) was 7.67%.
11
Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies. The federal banking regulators are required to take “prompt corrective
action” with respect to capital-deficient institutions. Agency regulations define, for each capital category, the levels at which
institutions are “well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “under capitalized,” “significantly under capitalized” and
“critically under capitalized.” A “well-capitalized” bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher; and is not subject to any written agreement, order or
directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An “adequately capitalized” bank has a total
risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 4.0% or
higher (3.0% or higher if the bank was rated a composite 1 in its most recent examination report and is not experiencing
significant growth); and does not meet the criteria for a well capitalized bank. A bank is “under capitalized” if it fails to meet
any one of the ratios required to be adequately capitalized. The Bank is classified as “well-capitalized” for purposes of the
FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations.
In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital restoration plan, agency regulations contain
broad restrictions on certain activities of undercapitalized institutions including asset growth, acquisitions, branch
establishment and expansion into new lines of business. With certain exceptions, an insured depository institution is
prohibited from making capital distributions, including dividends, and is prohibited from paying management fees to control
persons if the institution would be undercapitalized after any such distribution or payment.
As an institution’s capital decreases, the FDIC’s enforcement powers become more severe. A significantly
undercapitalized institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions
with affiliates, removal of management and other restrictions. The FDIC has only very limited discretion in dealing with a
critically undercapitalized institution and is virtually required to appoint a receiver or conservator.
Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required minimums may also be subject to certain
administrative actions, including the termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing, or a temporary suspension of
insurance without a hearing in the event the institution has no tangible capital.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. The Bank must pay assessments to the FDIC for federal deposit insurance protection.
The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system as required by FDICIA. Under this system, FDIC-insured depository
institutions pay insurance premiums at rates based on their risk classification. Institutions assigned to higher risk
classifications (that is, institutions that pose a greater risk of loss to their respective deposit insurance funds) pay assessments
at higher rates than institutions that pose a lower risk. An institution’s risk classification is assigned based on its capital levels
and the level of supervisory concern the institution poses to the regulators. In addition, the FDIC can impose special
assessments in certain instances. The current range of BIF assessments is between 0% and 0.27% of deposits.
The FDIC established a process for raising or lowering all rates for insured institutions semi-annually if conditions
warrant a change. Under this system, the FDIC has the flexibility to adjust the assessment rate schedule twice a year without
seeking prior public comment, but only within a range of five cents per $100 above or below the premium schedule adopted.
Changes in the rate schedule outside the five cent range above or below the current schedule can be made by the FDIC only
after a full rulemaking with opportunity for public comment.
In addition to BIF assessments, banks insured under the BIF are required to pay a portion of the interest due on bonds
that were issued by the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) to help shore up the ailing Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation in 1987. With regard to the assessment for the FICO obligation, for the fourth quarter 2005, the BIF rate was
.00134% of deposits.
Brokered Deposit Restrictions. Adequately capitalized institutions cannot accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits
except with a waiver from the FDIC, and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such deposits.
Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew, or roll over brokered deposits.
Cross-Guarantee Provisions. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”)
contains a “cross-guarantee” provision which generally makes commonly controlled insured depository institutions liable to
the FDIC for any losses incurred in connection with the failure of a commonly controlled depository institution.
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) and the regulations issued thereunder are
intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks. These regulations also provide for regulatory
assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the needs of its service area when considering applications to establish branches,
merger applications and applications to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. FIRREA requires federal
banking agencies to make public a rating of a bank’s performance under the CRA. In the case of a bank holding company, the
CRA performance record of the banks involved in the transaction are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application
12
to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company. An
unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction.
Consumer Laws and Regulations. In addition to the laws and regulations discussed herein, the Bank is also subject to
certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set
forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the
Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Housing
Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which
financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers. The Bank must
comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer
relations.
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) was enacted in October 2001. The USA PATRIOT
Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement’s and the intelligence communities’ ability to work cohesively to combat
terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the USA PATRIOT Act on financial institutions of all kinds is
significant and wide ranging. The USA PATRIOT Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency
laws and requires various regulations, including: (i) due diligence requirements for financial institutions that administer,
maintain, or manage private bank accounts or correspondent accounts for non-U.S. persons; (ii) standards for verifying
customer identification at account opening; (iii) rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law
enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering; (iv) reports by
nonfinancial trades and business filed with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for
transactions exceeding $10,000; and (v) filing of suspicious activities reports involving securities by brokers and dealers if
they believe a customer may be violating U.S. laws and regulations.
Privacy. In addition to expanding the activities in which banks and bank holding companies may engage, the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act also imposed new requirements on financial institutions with respect to customer privacy. The Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act generally prohibits disclosure of customer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer
has been given the opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to
disclose their privacy policies to customers annually. Financial institutions, however, will be required to comply with state
law if it is more protective of customer privacy than the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Legislative Initiatives
From time to time, various legislative and regulatory initiatives are introduced in Congress. Such initiatives may
change banking statutes and the operating environment of the Company and its banking subsidiaries in substantial and
unpredictable ways. The Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that any potential legislation, if enacted, or
implementing regulations with respect thereto, would have, upon the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company or its subsidiaries. A change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries could have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
Enforcement Powers of Federal and State Banking Agencies
The federal banking agencies have broad enforcement powers, including the power to terminate deposit insurance,
impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Failure to comply with
applicable laws, regulations, and supervisory agreements could subject the Company or the Bank and their subsidiaries, as
well as officers, directors, and other institution-affiliated parties of these organizations, to administrative sanctions and
potentially substantial civil money penalties. In addition to the grounds discussed above under “—The Bank—Corrective
Measures for Capital Deficiencies,” the appropriate federal banking agency may appoint the FDIC as conservator or receiver
for a banking institution (or the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain circumstances) if any one or more of a number of
circumstances exist, including, without limitation, the fact that the banking institution is undercapitalized and has no
reasonable prospect of becoming adequately capitalized; fails to become adequately capitalized when required to do so; fails
to submit a timely and acceptable capital restoration plan; or materially fails to implement an accepted capital restoration
plan. The Texas Department of Banking also has broad enforcement powers over the Bank, including the power to impose
orders, remove officers and directors, impose fines and appoint supervisors and conservators.
13
Effect on Economic Environment
The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant
effect on the operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means available to the Federal
Reserve Board to affect the money supply are open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount
rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means are used
in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use
may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the operating results of commercial banks in the past
and are expected to continue to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on
the business and earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s Common Stock involves risks. The following is a description of the material risks and
uncertainties that the Company believes affect its business and an investment in the Common Stock. Additional risks and
uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that it deems immaterial, also may become important factors that affect the
Company and its business. If any of the risks described in this annual report on Form 10-K were to occur, the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of
the Common Stock could decline significantly and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Associated with the Company’s Business
If the Company is not able to continue its historical levels of growth, it may not be able to maintain its historical earnings
trends.
To achieve its past levels of growth, the Company has initiated internal growth programs and completed a number of
acquisitions. The Company may not be able to sustain its historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow at all. In
addition, Prosperity may not be able to obtain the financing necessary to fund additional growth and may not be able to find
suitable candidates for acquisition. Various factors, such as economic conditions and competition, may impede or prohibit the
opening of new banking centers. Further, the Company may be unable to attract and retain experienced bankers, which could
adversely affect its internal growth. If the Company is not able to continue its historical levels of growth, it may not be able
to maintain its historical earnings trends.
If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, its operations could be negatively affected.
Companies that experience rapid growth face various risks and difficulties, including:
•
•
finding suitable markets for expansion;
finding suitable candidates for acquisition;
attracting funding to support additional growth;
•
• maintaining asset quality;
•
• maintaining adequate regulatory capital.
attracting and retaining qualified management; and
In addition, in order to manage its growth and maintain adequate information and reporting systems within its
organization, the Company must identify, hire and retain additional qualified employees, particularly in the accounting and
operational areas of its business.
If the Company does not manage its growth effectively, its business, financial condition, results of operations and
future prospects could be negatively affected, and the Company may not be able to continue to implement its business
strategy and successfully conduct its operations.
14
If the Company is unable to identify and acquire other financial institutions and successfully integrate its acquired
businesses, its business and earnings may be negatively affected.
The market for acquisitions remains highly competitive, and the Company may be unable to find acquisition candidates
in the future that fit its acquisition and growth strategy. To the extent that the Company is unable to find suitable acquisition
candidates, an important component of its growth strategy may be lost.
Acquisitions of financial institutions involve operational risks and uncertainties and acquired companies may have
unforeseen liabilities, exposure to asset quality problems, key employee and customer retention problems and other problems
that could negatively affect the Company’s organization. The Company may not be able to complete future acquisitions and,
if completed, the Company may not be able to successfully integrate the operations, management, products and services of
the entities that it acquires and eliminate redundancies. The integration process may also require significant time and
attention from the Company’s management that they would otherwise direct at servicing existing business and developing
new business. The Company’s failure to successfully integrate the entities it acquires into its existing operations may increase
its operating costs significantly and adversely affect its business and earnings.
The Company’s business is subject to interest rate risk and fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect its earnings
and capital levels.
The majority of the Company’s assets are monetary in nature and, as a result, the Company is subject to significant risk
from changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates can impact the Company’s net interest income as well as the
valuation of its assets and liabilities. The Company’s earnings are significantly dependent on its net interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between the interest income earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets
and the interest expense paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Therefore, any change in general
market interest rates, such as a change in the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve or otherwise, can have a significant
effect on the Company’s net interest income. The Company’s assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in overall
market rates or conditions because there may be mismatches between the repricing or maturity characteristics of the assets
and liabilities.
The Company’s profitability depends significantly on local economic conditions.
The Company’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the geographic markets in which it
operates. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, the Company provides banking and financial services
to customers primarily in Houston, Dallas, Austin, Corpus Christi and surrounding areas and in the south and southeast areas
of Texas. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the Company’s commercial, real estate
and construction loans, the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. A
significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or
other international or domestic calamities, unemployment or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and
negatively affect the Company’s financial results.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual credit losses, which could adversely affect
its earnings.
As a lender, the Company is exposed to the risk that its loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms
of these loans and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to fully compensate the Company for
the outstanding balance of the loan plus the costs to dispose of the collateral. The Company may experience significant loan
losses which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results and financial condition. Management makes various
assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio, including the diversification by industry
of its commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume, growth and
composition of its loan portfolio, the effects on the loan portfolio of current economic indicators and their probable impact on
borrowers and the evaluation of its loan portfolio through its internal loan review process and other relevant factors.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses in an attempt to cover credit losses inherent in its loan portfolio.
Additional credit losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than the Company has experienced to
date. In determining the size of the allowance, the Company relies on an analysis of its loan portfolio, its experience and its
evaluation of general economic conditions. If the Company’s assumptions prove to be incorrect, its current allowance may
not be sufficient and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in its
loan portfolio. Material additions to the allowance would materially decrease net income.
15
In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses and may require
the Company to increase its provision for credit losses or recognize further charge-offs, based on judgments different than
those of the Company’s management. Any increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses or charge-offs as required
by these regulatory agencies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
The Company’s small to medium-sized business target market may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn
in the economy.
The Company targets its business development and marketing strategy primarily to serve the banking and financial
services needs of small to medium-sized businesses. These small to medium-sized businesses generally have fewer financial
resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact the
southeast Texas area or the other markets in which the Company operates, the Company’s results of operations and financial
condition may be negatively affected.
An interruption in or breach in security of the Company’s information systems may result in a loss of customer business.
The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure or
interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer
relationship management, general ledger, deposits, servicing or loan origination systems. Such interruptions may occur and
may not be adequately addressed by the Company. The occurrence of any failures or interruptions could result in a loss of
customer business and have a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The business of the Company is dependent on technology and its inability to invest in technological improvements may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new
technology driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases
efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. The Company’s future success will depend in part upon its
ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer
demands for convenience as well as create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of the Company’s competitors
have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. The Company may not be able to effectively
implement new technology driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its
customers which may negatively affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment and, as a result, is subject to extensive regulation and
supervision that could adversely affect its financial performance, and the Company may be adversely affected by changes
in federal and local laws and regulations.
The Company is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities.
Any change in applicable regulations or federal or state legislation could have a substantial impact on the Company, its
subsidiary bank, and their respective operations. Additional legislation and regulations may be enacted or adopted in the
future that could significantly affect the Company’s powers, authority and operations, or the powers, authority and operations
of the Bank, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Further, regulators have significant discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of
laws by banks and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of
this regulatory discretion and power may have a negative impact on the Company.
Risks Associated with the Company’s Common Stock
The Company’s corporate organizational documents and the provisions of Texas law to which it is subject may delay or
prevent a change in control of the Company that you may favor.
The Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain various
provisions which may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control of the Company. These
provisions include:
•
•
a board of directors classified into three classes of directors with the directors, of each class having staggered,
three year terms;
a provision that any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders may be called only by the chairman of the
board, the president and chief executive officer, a majority of the board of directors or the holders of at least 50%
of the Company’s shares entitled to vote at the meeting;
16
•
•
a provision establishing certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors
and for shareholder proposals to be considered at an annual or special meeting of shareholders; and
a provision that denies shareholders the right to amend the Company’s bylaws.
The Company’s articles of incorporation provide for noncumulative voting for directors and authorize the board of
directors to issue shares of its preferred stock without shareholder approval and upon such terms as the board of directors
may determine. The issuance of the Company’s preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third
party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a controlling interest in the Company. In addition, certain
provisions of Texas law, including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Texas corporation
and certain affiliated shareholders, may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control of the
Company.
The holders of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of the Company’s
shareholders.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $75.8 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding that were
issued to the Company’s subsidiary trusts. The subsidiary trusts purchased the junior subordinated debentures from the
Company using the proceeds from the sale of trust preferred securities to third party investors. Payments of the principal and
interest on the trust preferred securities are conditionally guaranteed by the Company to the extent not paid or made by each
trust, provided the trust has funds available for such obligations.
The junior subordinated debentures are senior to the Company’s shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Company
must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) before any dividends
can be paid on its Common Stock and, in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of
the debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made to the holders of the Common Stock. The Company
had the right to defer distributions on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) for up to
five years, during which time no dividends may be paid to holders of the Company’s Common Stock.
Risks Related to the Company’s Acquisition of SNB Bancshares, Inc.
There may be undiscovered risks or losses associated with the SNB Bancshares acquisition.
As a result of the pending acquisition of SNB Bancshares, Inc., the Company will acquire all of the assets and
liabilities of SNB Bancshares, including, without limitation, its loan portfolio. The Company has not previously owned or
operated SNB Bancshares and it does not have any detailed working experience related to its business and operations. There
may be instances when the Company, under its normal operating procedures, may find after the acquisition, that there may be
additional losses or undisclosed liabilities with respect to the assets and liabilities of SNB Bancshares, and, with respect to its
loan portfolio, that the ability of a borrower to repay a loan may have become impaired, the quality of the value of the
collateral securing a loan may fall below the Company’s standards or the allowance for credit losses may not be adequate.
One or more of these factors might cause the Company to have additional losses or liabilities, additional loan charge-offs or
increases in allowances for credit losses, which could have a negative impact upon its future income.
The Company may not be able to successfully consummate the acquisition of SNB Bancshares. Even if the acquisition is
consummated, the Company may not be able to integrate SNB Bancshares’ operations with its business efficiently.
While the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the capital stock of SNB Bancshares, there
are a number of conditions to completing the acquisition, and there can be no assurance that those conditions will be satisfied.
Even if the acquisition is consummated, it will create risks associated with the integration of SNB Bancshares’ operations
with the Company’s, including, without limitation, the loss of key employees and customers, the disruption of ongoing
businesses and possible inconsistencies in standards, controls and procedures.
The Company may not realize the benefits from the SNB Bancshares acquisition that it anticipates, or it may not be
able to integrate SNB Bancshares’ operations successfully. If the Company fails to integrate the operations of SNB
Bancshares efficiently, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of
operation and future prospects.

Dividends
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of
Directors out of funds legally available therefor. While the Company has declared dividends on its Common Stock since
1994, and paid quarterly dividends aggregating $0.3475 per share in 2005 and $0.3075 per share in 2004, there is no
assurance that the Company will continue to pay dividends in the future. Future dividends on the Common Stock will depend
upon the Company’s earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and
regulatory climate, the Company’s ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to the Common Stock and other
factors deemed relevant by the board of directors of the Company.
As a holding company, the Company is ultimately dependent upon its subsidiaries to provide funding for its operating
expenses, debt service and dividends. Various banking laws applicable to the Bank limit the payment of dividends and other
distributions by the Bank to the Company, and may therefore limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its Common
Stock. If required payments on the Company’s outstanding junior subordinated debentures held by its unconsolidated
19
subsidiary trusts are not made or suspended, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends on its Common Stock.
Regulatory authorities could impose administratively stricter limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the
Company if such limits were deemed appropriate to preserve certain capital adequacy requirements.
The cash dividends declared per share by quarter (and paid on the first business day of the subsequent quarter) for the
Company’s last two fiscal years were as follows:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements and financial discussion and analysis contained in this annual report on Form 10-K that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond the Company’s control. Many possible events or factors could affect the future financial results and
performance of the Company and could cause such results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements. These possible events or factors include, without limitation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
changes in interest rates and market prices, which could reduce the Company’s net interest margins, asset
valuations and expense expectations;
changes in the levels of loan prepayments and the resulting effects on the value of the Company’s loan portfolio;
changes in local economic and business conditions which adversely affect the Company’s customers and their
ability to transact profitable business with the company, including the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay
their loans according to their terms or a change in the value of the related collateral;
increased competition for deposits and loans adversely affecting rates and terms;
the timing, impact and other uncertainties of future acquisitions, including the Company’s ability to identify
suitable future acquisition candidates, the success or failure in the integration of their operations, and the ability to
enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
increased credit risk in the Company’s assets and increased operating risk caused by a material change in
commercial, consumer and/or real estate loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio;
the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of and provisions made to the allowance for credit losses;
changes in the availability of funds resulting in increased costs or reduced liquidity;
increased asset levels and changes in the composition of assets and the resulting impact on the Company’s capital
levels and regulatory capital ratios;
the Company’s ability to acquire, operate and maintain cost effective and efficient systems without incurring
unexpectedly difficult or expensive but necessary technological changes;
the loss of senior management or operating personnel and the potential inability to hire qualified personnel at
reasonable compensation levels;
changes in statutes and government regulations or their interpretations applicable to financial holding companies
and the Company’s present and future banking and other subsidiaries, including changes in tax requirements and
tax rates;
acts of terrorism, an outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic calamities, weather or other acts of
God and other matters beyond the Company’s control; and
other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in the Company’s reports and documents filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking
statement. The Company believes it has chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable.
However, the Company cautions you that assumptions or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences
between assumptions or bases and actual results can be material.
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless the securities laws require the Company to do so.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements
of the Company’s balance sheets and statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The Commercial merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and therefore the historical
financial data of the Company has been restated to include the accounts and operations of Commercial for all periods prior to
February 23, 2001.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
Overview
The Company generates the majority of its revenues from interest income on loans, service charges on customer
accounts and income from investment in securities. The revenues are partially offset by interest expense paid on deposits and
other borrowings and non-interest expenses such as administrative and occupancy expenses. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense on liabilities such as
deposits and borrowings which are used to fund those assets. Interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue,
representing 57.7% of total revenue during 2005. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and margin. The Company has recognized increased net interest income
due primarily to an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets.
Three principal components of the Company’s growth strategy are internal growth, stringent cost control practices and
strategic merger transactions. The Company focuses on continual internal growth. Each banking center is operated as a
separate profit center, maintaining separate data with respect to its net interest income, efficiency ratio, deposit growth, loan
growth and overall profitability. Banking center presidents and managers are accountable for performance in these areas and
compensated accordingly. The Company also focuses on maintaining stringent cost control practices and policies. The
Company has invested significantly in the infrastructure required to centralize many of its critical operations, such as data
processing and loan processing. Management believes that this centralized infrastructure can accommodate substantial
additional growth while enabling the Company to minimize operational costs through certain economies of scale. The
Company also intends to continue to seek expansion opportunities. During 2003, eleven banking centers were acquired in the
Dallas/Fort Worth area. The acquisitions of Abrams and Dallas Bancshares were completed in May and June 2003,
respectively, adding three banking centers in Dallas. The mergers with MainBancorp and FSBNT were completed in
November and December 2003, respectively, adding an additional eight banking centers in Dallas. As a part of these
acquisitions, two of the acquired banking centers were combined into existing banking centers nearby bringing the total to
nine banking centers added in 2003. During 2004, seven banking centers were acquired in the Austin, Texas area, one of
which was subsequently closed and consolidated into an existing banking center of the Company. The acquisitions of both
Liberty Bancshares, Inc. (the “Liberty acquisition”) and Village Bank and Trust s.s.b. (the “Village acquisition”) were
completed on August 1, 2004. During 2005, twenty seven (27) banking centers were acquired in the First Capital acquisition
on March 1, 2005 and two (2) additional banking centers were acquired in the Grapeland acquisition on December 1, 2005.
Net income was $47.9 million, $34.7 million and $26.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively, and diluted earnings per share were $1.77, $1.59 and $1.36, respectively, for these same periods. Earnings
growth during both 2005 and 2004 resulted principally from an increase in loan volume and acquisitions, including the
Liberty and Village acquisitions in August 2004 and the First Capital acquisition in March 2005. Earnings growth during
both 2004 and 2003 also resulted principally from an increase in loan volume and acquisitions, including the Abrams, Dallas
Bancshares, MainBancorp, FSBNT, Liberty and Village acquisitions. The Company posted returns on average assets of
1.42%, 1.36% and 1.32% and returns on average equity of 11.56%, 14.27% and 15.60% for the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 48.91% in 2005, 49.23% in 2004 and 51.58% in
2003.
Total assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $3.586 billion and $2.697 billion, respectively. Total deposits at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $2.920 billion and $2.317 billion, respectively, with deposit growth in each period
resulting from acquisitions and internal growth. Total loans were $1.542 billion at December 31, 2005, an increase of $506.6
million or 48.9% compared with $1.036 billion at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $1.1 million
in nonperforming loans and its allowance for credit losses was $17.2 million. Shareholders’ equity was $464.7 million and
$275.6 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. The Company’s
accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that of
its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:
Allowance for Credit Losses—The allowance for credit losses is a reserve established through charges to earnings in
the form of a provision for credit losses. Management has established an allowance for credit losses which it believes is
adequate for estimated losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management
presents a monthly review of the allowance for credit losses to the Bank’s Board of Directors, indicating any change in the
allowance since the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluation,
management considers factors such as historical loan loss experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial
loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming assets and related collateral, the volume, growth and composition of the
24
Company’s loan portfolio, current economic changes that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral,
the evaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio through its internal loan review process and other relevant factors. Portions of
the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in
management’s judgment, should be charged off. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance
for credit losses includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS 118, and allowance allocations
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
Goodwill—Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to at least an annual impairment
test and more frequently if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment
using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units compared
with its carrying value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, a second step test is completed
comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value to measure the amount of impairment.
Intangible assets that are not amortized will be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair values of those
assets to their carrying values. Other identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are amortized on an
accelerated basis over the years expected to be benefited, which the Company believes is 8 years. These amortizable
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their value may not be recoverable based on a
comparison of fair value to carrying value. Based on the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30,
2005, management does not believe any of its goodwill is impaired as of December 31, 2005. While the Company believes
no impairment existed at December 31, 2005 under accounting standards applicable at that date, different conditions or
assumptions, or changes in cash flows or profitability, if significantly negative or unfavorable, could have a material adverse
effect on the outcome of the Company’s impairment evaluation and financial condition or future results of operations.
Stock-based Compensation—The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment
(Revised 2004),” on January 1, 2006. The Company had previously adopted SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003. Among other
things, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value based method
of accounting and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation expense in the income statement based on
their fair values on the date of the grant. SFAS No. 123R requires that management make assumptions including stock price
volatility and employee turnover that are utilized to measure compensation expense. The fair value of stock options granted is
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly
subjective assumptions.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest
income on interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities,
including deposits and other borrowed funds. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning
assets and liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in the
amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected
by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds,
referred to as a “rate change.”
The Company adopted FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” on January 1, 2004. FIN 46R requires
that Prosperity Statutory Trust II, Prosperity Statutory Trust III, Prosperity Statutory Trust IV, Paradigm Capital Trust II
(fully redeemed on February 28, 2006), First Capital Statutory Trust I and First Capital Statutory Trust II be deconsolidated
from the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the trust preferred securities issued by each of the foregoing trusts
are no longer shown in the consolidated financial statements. Instead, the junior subordinated debentures issued by the
Company to each of these trusts are shown as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and interest expense associated
with such junior subordinated debentures is shown as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The dividend
expense associated with the trust preferred securities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was previously shown as
noninterest expense. Prior period data has been restated to reflect the adoption of FIN 46R.
2005 versus 2004. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2005 was
$110.9 million compared with $82.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $28.9 million or 35.3%.
The improvement in net interest income for 2005 was principally due to an increase in average interest-earning assets to
$2.949 billion at December 31, 2005 from $2.302 billion at December 31 2004, an increase of $647.7 million or 28.1%. The
increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily due to the First Capital acquisition. The improvement in net interest
income for 2005 was also partially due to an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets that was greater than the increase
in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Total cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 57 basis points from 1.64%
25
for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 2.21% for the year ended December 31, 2005, while total yield on interest-earning
assets increased 64 basis points from 4.86% at December 31, 2004 to 5.50% at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005,
period end demand deposits represented an important component of funding sources and was 23.1% of total period end
deposits compared with 22.4% at December 31, 2004.
Net interest margin (not on a tax equivalent basis), defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets, for 2005 was 3.76%, up 20 basis points from 3.56% in 2004. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily
attributable to an increase in interest-earning assets.
2004 versus 2003. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2004 was
$82.0 million compared with $64.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $17.5 million or 27.1%.
The improvement in net interest income for 2004 was principally due to an increase in average interest-earning assets to
$2.302 billion at December 31, 2004 from $1.830 billion at December 31 2003, an increase of $471.3 million or 25.8%. The
improvement in net interest income for 2004 was also partially due to a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
that was greater than the decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. Total cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15
basis points from 1.79% for the year ended December 31, 2003 to 1.64% for the year ended December 31, 2004 while total
yield on interest-earning assets decreased 10 basis points from 4.96% at December 31, 2003 to 4.86% at December 31, 2004.
At December 31, 2004, period end demand deposits averaged 22.4% of total period end deposits in 2004 compared with
22.4% in 2003.
Net interest margin (not on a tax equivalent basis) for 2004 was 3.56%, up four basis points from 3.52% in 2003. The
increase in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to an increase in interest-earning assets.

In order to make pretax income and resultant yields on tax-exempt investments and loans comparable to those on taxable investments and loans, a tax-equivalent
adjustment has been computed using a federal income tax rate of 35% for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and other applicable effective tax
rates.
The following table presents information regarding the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest
expense for the major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and distinguishes between the
increase (decrease) related to higher outstanding balances and the changes in interest rates. For purposes of this table,
changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.

The Company’s provision for credit losses is established through charges to income in the form of the provision in
order to bring the Company’s allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors
discussed under Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2005
was $17.2 million, representing 1.12% of outstanding loans. The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31,
2005 was $480,000 compared with $880,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2004, an additional $400,000
provision for credit losses was made in anticipation of increased charge-offs related to loans acquired in merger transactions
that year. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $410,000 compared with $485,000 in net charge-offs
for the year ended December 31, 2004. The provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $880,000
compared with $483,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
$1.6 million.
Noninterest Income
The Company’s primary sources of recurring noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts and other
banking service related fees. Noninterest income does not include loan origination fees which are recognized over the life of
the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. Banking related service fees include check cashing fees,
official check fees, safe deposit box rent and currency handling fees. For the year ended December 31, 2005, noninterest
income totaled $30.0 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 30.1% compared with $23.1 million in 2004. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in insufficient funds charges and customer service charges which resulted from an increase in the
number of accounts due to the Liberty and Village acquisitions in the third quarter of 2004 and the First Capital acquisition
completed in March 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the two acquisitions in 2004 and the two acquisitions in 2005 added
approximately 46,500 deposit accounts and over 11,500 debit cards. Noninterest income for 2004 was $23.1 million, an
28
increase of $6.1 million or 36.0% compared with $17.0 million in 2003, resulting largely from an increase in service charges
due to the additional deposit accounts from the MainBancorp and FSBNT acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2003 and the
Liberty and Village acquisitions completed in August 2004.
Brokered mortgage income increased $312,000 to $695,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with
$383,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to additional mortgage loan originations
resulting from the mortgage division of each of Liberty and Village that was acquired in August 2004 and a third mortgage
division of First Capital that was acquired in March 2005.
Income from leased assets and bank owned life insurance increased $895,000 and $397,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 compared with the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively. Both leased assets and bank owned life
insurance were acquired in the First Capital acquisition. The expiration dates of the leased assets range from 2009 to 2011
and the related depreciation expense for the leased assets was $630,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Noninterest Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2005, noninterest expense totaled $69.0 million, an increase of $17.3 million or
33.4% compared with $51.7 million for the same period in 2004. This increase was principally due to increases in salaries
and employee benefits, net occupancy and depreciation costs and core deposit intangibles amortization primarily as a result
of the First Capital acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2004, noninterest expense totaled $51.7 million, an increase
of $9.7 million or 23.1% compared with $42.0 million for the same period in 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to
the additional general operating costs associated with the acquisitions completed in 2004 and the full year effect of the
acquisitions completed in 2003. These items and other changes in the various components of noninterest expense are
discussed in more detail below.

(1) Salaries and employee benefits expense includes $619,000, $141,000 and $25,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003
respectively, in compensation expense related to the granting of stock options.
(2) Communications expense includes telephone, data circuits, postage and courier expenses.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits increased $8.8 million to $36.7 million at
December 31, 2005 compared with $27.9 million at December 31, 2004 primarily due to increased staff added with the
Liberty and Village acquisitions in August 2004 and the First Capital acquisition in March 2005. The number of associates
employed by the Company increased from 653 at December 31, 2004 to 859 at December 31, 2005. Salaries and employee
benefits increased $5.4 million from $22.4 million at December 31, 2003 to $27.9 million at December 31, 2004 primarily
due to increased staff added with the MainBancorp and FSBNT acquisitions in fourth quarter 2003 and the Village and
Liberty acquisitions in 2004 and also partially attributable to annual merit increases. The number of associates employed by
the Company increased from 629 at December 31, 2003 to 653 at December 31, 2004. In accordance with the Company’s
adoption of SFAS 123, salaries and employee benefits expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 includes $619,000 in
compensation expense related to the granting of stock options compared with $141,000 and $25,000 recorded for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Net Occupancy and Depreciation Expenses. Net occupancy expense increased $1.8 million or 38.4% to $6.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Depreciation
expense increased $1.6 million to $4.5 million compared with $2.8 million for the same periods. Both increases were
primarily attributable to the addition of thirty-five (35) banking centers acquired in 2004 and 2005. Net occupancy expense
increased $322,000 or 7.2% to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $4.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003. Depreciation expense increased $308,000 to $2.8 million compared with $2.5 million for the same
periods. Both increases were primarily attributable to the addition of six banking centers associated with the acquisitions
made in 2004 and an additional seven banking centers associated with the FSBNT and MainBancorp acquisitions in fourth
quarter 2003.
Communications Expense. Communications expense includes telephone, data circuits, postage and courier expenses.
Communications expense increased $853,000 or 29.1% from $2.9 million for the year December 31, 2004 to $3.8 million for
the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily associated with the addition of thirty-five banking centers acquired in
2004 and 2005. Communications expense was $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $2.5
million for the same period in 2003, an increase of $401,000 or 15.9%. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition
of six banking centers in 2004 and an additional seven banking centers associated with the FSBNT and MainBancorp
acquisitions in fourth quarter 2003.
Core Deposit Intangibles Amortization. Core deposit intangibles amortization increased $2.1 million or 119.7% from
$1.8 million for the year December 31, 2004 to $3.9 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was associated with
the addition of $21.4 million in core deposit intangible assets related to the acquisitions made in 2004 and 2005. Core deposit
intangibles amortization was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with $818,000 for the same
period in 2003, an increase of $963,000 or 117.7%. The increase was attributable to the addition of $4.7 million in core
deposit intangible assets related to the Abrams, Dallas Bancshares, MainBancorp and FSBNT acquisitions in 2003 and the
30
Liberty and Village acquisitions completed in August 2004. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized on an accelerated
basis over an eight year life.
Other Noninterest Expense. Other operating expenses increased $721,000 or 9.3% from $7.8 million at December 31,
2004 to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to additional operating
expenses related to the First Capital acquisition made in 2005. Other operating expenses of $7.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 represented an increase of $1.9 million or 33.4% compared with $5.8 million in 2003. The increase was
primarily attributable to increased advertising costs and the additional general operating costs associated with the acquisition
of seven banking centers in 2004 and the Abrams, Dallas Bancshares, MainBancorp and FSBNT acquisitions in 2003.
Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio is a supplemental financial measure utilized in management’s internal evaluation
of the Company and is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles. The efficiency ratio is calculated by
dividing total noninterest expense, excluding securities losses and credit loss provisions, by net interest income plus
noninterest income, excluding securities gains. Taxes are not part of this calculation. An increase in the efficiency ratio
indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same volume of income, while a decrease would indicate a
more efficient allocation of resources. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 48.91% at December 31, 2005, a decrease from
49.23% at December 31, 2004. The decrease reflects the Company’s continued success in controlling operating expenses and
the cost savings achieved with the First Capital acquisition in 2005. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 51.58% at
December 31, 2003.
Income Taxes
The amount of federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the amount of tax-exempt
income, the amount of nondeductible interest expense and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, income tax expense was $23.6 million compared with $17.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2004 and $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increases were primarily attributable to higher pretax net
earnings which resulted from an increase in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with the
same period in 2004 and 2003. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was 33.0%,
33.8% and 31.9%, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% during the
comparable periods primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans and securities.
Impact of Inflation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this annual report on Form 10-K have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to inflation.
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than the effects of general levels of
inflation. Interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and
services. However, other expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.
Financial Condition
Loan Portfolio
At December 31, 2005, total loans were $1.542 billion, an increase of $506.6 million or 48.9% compared with $1.036
billion at December 31, 2004. The growth in loans was primarily attributable to the combined effect of internal growth and
the First Capital and Grapeland acquisitions. At December 31, 2005, total loans at the banking centers acquired in 2005
totaled $440.6 million. At December 31, 2005, total loans were 52.8% of deposits and 43.0% of total assets. At December 31,
2004, total loans were 44.7% of deposits and 38.4% of total assets. Loans increased 34.5% during 2004 from $770.1 million
at December 31, 2003 to $1.036 billion at December 31, 2004. The growth in loans was primarily attributable to internal
growth and the 2004 acquisitions.

The Company is focused on growing its construction and land development, commercial mortgage and commercial and
industrial loan portfolios. The Company’s construction and land development loans grew from $109.6 million at
December 31, 2004 to $206.7 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $97.1 million or 88.6%. The Company’s
commercial mortgages grew from $369.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $566.4 million at December 31, 2005, an increase
of $197.2 million or 53.4%. The Company’s commercial and industrial loans grew from $144.4 million at December 31,
2004 to $222.8 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $78.3 million or 54.2%. The Company offers a variety of
commercial lending products including term loans and lines of credit. The Company offers a broad range of short to medium-
term commercial loans, primarily collateralized, to businesses for working capital (including inventory and receivables),
business expansion (including acquisitions of real estate and improvements) and the purchase of equipment and machinery.
Historically, the Company has originated loans for its own account and has not securitized its loans. The purpose of a
particular loan generally determines its structure. All loans in the 1-4 family residential category were originated by the
Company.
All loans over $500,000 and below $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon on a daily basis by two of the Company’s
four loan concurrence officers. All loans above $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon by an officers’ loan committee,
which meets weekly. In addition to the officers’ loan committee evaluation, loans from $5.0 million to $10.0 million are
evaluated and acted upon by the directors loan committee, which consists of three directors and meets as necessary. Loans
over $10.0 million are evaluated and acted upon by the Bank’s board of directors either at a regularly scheduled monthly
board meeting or by teleconference or written consent.
Commercial and Industrial Loans. In nearly all cases, the Company’s commercial loans are made in the Company’s
market areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income. As a general
practice, the Company takes as collateral a lien on any available real estate, equipment or other assets owned by the borrower
and obtains a personal guaranty of the borrower or principal. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term
assets whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. In general, commercial loans involve more credit
risk than residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans and, therefore, usually yield a higher return. The
increased risk in commercial loans is due to the type of collateral securing these loans. The increased risk also derives from
the expectation that commercial loans generally will be serviced principally from the operations of the business, and those
operations may not be successful. Historical trends have shown these types of loans to have higher delinquencies than
mortgage loans. As a result of these additional complexities, variables and risks, commercial loans require more thorough
underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.
Commercial Mortgages. The Company makes commercial mortgage loans collateralized by real estate to finance the
purchase of real estate. The Company’s commercial mortgage loans are collateralized by first liens on real estate, typically
have variable interest rates and amortize over a ten to 15 year period. Payments on loans secured by such properties are often
dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties. Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be
subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other types of loans. The
Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful consideration to the property’s
operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition in
connection with underwriting these loans. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, appraisals and a review
of the financial condition of the borrower.
32
1-4 Family Residential Loans. A significant portion of the Company’s lending activity has consisted of the origination
of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company’s market areas.
The Company offers a variety of mortgage loan products which generally are amortized over five to 25 years. Loans
collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate generally have been originated in amounts of no more than 90% of
appraised value or have mortgage insurance. The Company requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance. The
Company has elected to keep all 1-4 family residential loans for its own account rather than selling such loans into the
secondary market. By doing so, the Company is able to realize a higher yield on these loans; however, the Company also
incurs interest rate risk as well as the risks associated with nonpayments on such loans.
Construction Loans. The Company makes loans to finance the construction of residential and, to a limited extent,
nonresidential properties. Construction loans generally are collateralized by first liens on real estate and have floating interest
rates. The Company conducts periodic inspections, either directly or through an agent, prior to approval of periodic draws on
these loans. Underwriting guidelines similar to those described above are also used in the Company’s construction lending
activities. Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of
a project under construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in
estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation on real
property, it can be difficult to accurately evaluate the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value
ratio. As a result of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with
repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay
the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company will
be able to recover all of the unpaid portion of the loan. In addition, the Company may be required to fund additional amounts
to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminate period of time. While the Company has
underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable levels of risks in construction lending, no
assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses from the risks described above.
Agriculture Loans. The Company provides agricultural loans for short-term crop production, including rice, cotton,
milo and corn, farm equipment financing and agricultural real estate financing. The Company evaluates agricultural
borrowers primarily based on their historical profitability, level of experience in their particular agricultural industry, overall
financial capacity and the availability of secondary collateral to withstand economic and natural variations common to the
industry. Because agricultural loans present a higher level of risk associated with events caused by nature, the Company
routinely makes on-site visits and inspections in order to monitor and identify such risks.
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans made by the Company include direct “A”-credit automobile loans, recreational
vehicle loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, home equity loans, personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized)
and deposit account collateralized loans. The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 120 months and vary based upon
the nature of collateral and size of loan. Consumer loans entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in
the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or collateralized by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such
cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the
outstanding loan balance. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the
borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s
continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal
bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws may limit the amount which can be recovered on
such loans.
The contractual maturity ranges of the commercial and industrial and construction and land development portfolios and
the amount of such loans with predetermined interest rates and floating rates in each maturity range as of December 31, 2005
are summarized in the following table:

Nonperforming Assets
The Company has several procedures in place to assist it in maintaining the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The
Company has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its officers and the Company also monitors its
delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company’s loan portfolio
will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.
The Company requires appraisals on loans collateralized by real estate. With respect to potential problem loans, an
evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition is made to determine the need, if any, for possible write-downs or
appropriate additions to the allowance for credit losses.
The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when the payment of principal
or interest is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying
collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. The Company generally charges off such loans before attaining
nonaccrual status.
The Company’s conservative lending approach has resulted in strong asset quality. The Company had $1.4 million in
nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 compared with $1.7 million at December 31, 2004 and $967,000 at
December 31, 2003. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was
$35,000, $54,000 and $38,000, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for
credit losses. Management has established an allowance for credit losses which it believes is adequate for estimated losses in
the Company’s loan portfolio. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a monthly review of the
allowance for credit losses to the Bank’s Board of Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last review and
any recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluation, management considers factors such as
historical loan loss experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, the amount of
nonperforming assets and related collateral, the volume, growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current
economic changes that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s
loan portfolio through its internal loan review process and other relevant factors. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to
be uncollectible.
The Company considers risk elements attributable to particular loan types or categories in assessing the quality of
individual loans. Some of the risk elements include:
•
for 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the
debt to income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan to value ratio, and the age, condition and
marketability of collateral;
35
•
•
•
•
•
for commercial mortgage loans and multifamily residential loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the
property in excess of operating expenses compared to loan payment requirements), operating results of the owner
in the case of owner-occupied properties, the loan to value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the
volatility of income, property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
for agricultural real estate loans, the experience and financial capability of the borrower, projected debt service
coverage of the operations of the borrower and loan to value ratio;
for construction and land development loans, the perceived feasibility of the project including the ability to sell
developed lots or improvements constructed for resale or ability to lease property constructed for lease, the quality
and nature of contracts for presale or preleasing, if any, experience and ability of the developer and loan to value
ratio;
for commercial and industrial loans, the operating results of the commercial, industrial or professional enterprise,
the borrower’s business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income
and operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral;
and
for non-real estate agricultural loans, the operating results, experience and financial capability of the borrower,
historical and expected market conditions and the value, nature and marketability of collateral.
In addition, for each category, the Company considers secondary sources of income and the financial strength and
credit history of the borrower and any guarantors.
The Company follows a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio. Through the loan review
process, the Company maintains an internally classified loan list which, along with the delinquency list of loans, helps
management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Loans
classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly-leveraged position,
unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize recoverability of
the debt. Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans which have characteristics similar to substandard accounts but with an
increased risk that a loss may occur, or at least a portion of the loan may require a charge-off if liquidated at present. Loans
classified as “loss” are those loans which are in the process of being charged off. For each classified loan, the Company
generally allocates a specific loan loss reserve equal to a predetermined percentage of the loan amount, depending on the
classification.
In addition to the internally classified loan list and delinquency list of loans, the Company maintains a separate “watch
list” which further aids the Company in monitoring loan portfolios. Watch list loans have one or more deficiencies that
require attention in the short term or pertinent ratios of the loan account that have weakened to a point where more frequent
monitoring is warranted. These loans do not have all of the characteristics of a classified loan (substandard or doubtful) but
do show weakened elements compared with those of a satisfactory credit. The Company reviews these loans to assist in
assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, management considers the risk classification or
delinquency status of loans and other factors, such as collateral value, portfolio composition, trends in economic conditions
and the financial strength of borrowers. Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and establishes specific
allowances for loans which management believes require reserves greater than those allocated according to their
classification or delinquent status. An unallocated allowance is also established based on the Company’s historical charge-off
experience and existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, credit
quality trends, collateral values, loan volume and concentrations and seasoning of the loan portfolio. The Company then
charges to operations a provision for credit losses to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an adequate level determined
by the foregoing methodology.
Federal and state bank regulators also require that a bank maintain an allowance that is sufficient to absorb an
estimated amount of unidentified potential losses based on management’s perception of economic conditions, loan portfolio
growth, historical charge-off experience and exposure concentrations. In addition, as the Company has grown, its aggregate
loan portfolio has increased and since the Company has made a decision to diversify its loan portfolio into areas other than 1-
4 family residential mortgage loans, the risk profile of the Company’s loans has increased. By virtue of its increased capital
levels, the Company is able to make larger loans, thereby increasing the possibility that one uncollectible loan would have a
more severe adverse impact.
At December 31, 2005, the allowance for credit losses totaled $17.2 million, or 1.12% of total loans. At December 31,
2004, the allowance aggregated $13.1 million or 1.27% of total loans and at December 31, 2003, the allowance was $10.3
million, or 1.34% of total loans.

The following tables describe the allocation of the allowance for credit losses among various categories of loans and
certain other information as of the dates indicated. The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily
indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any

The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2005 is adequate to cover losses inherent in
the portfolio as of such date. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods,
which could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance at December 31, 2005.
Securities
The Company uses its securities portfolio as a source of income, as a source of liquidity for cash requirements and to
manage interest rate risk. At December 31, 2005, investment securities totaled $1.573 billion, an increase of $269.8 million
or 20.7% compared with $1.303 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in securities was primarily due to the First
Capital acquisition. Securities decreased to $1.303 billion at December 31, 2004 from $1.377 billion at December 31, 2003, a
decrease of $74.1 million or 5.4%. At December 31, 2005, securities represented 43.9% of total assets compared with 48.3%
of total assets at December 31, 2004.

The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable
indicator of their expected life because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed
securities monthly pay downs cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than their stated lives. The
weighted average life of the Company’s complete portfolio is 3.5 years with an effective duration of 2.9 years at
December 31, 2005. The 70% non-taxable preferred stock includes investments in Federal National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) preferred stock.
The Company does not own securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S. government and its agencies) for which
aggregate adjusted cost exceeds 10% of the consolidated shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
38
The average yield of the securities portfolio was 4.14% in 2005 compared with 3.99% in 2004 and 3.96% in 2003. The
15 basis point increase in 2005 was primarily due to the Company reinvesting funds at higher rates in 2005 compared to
2004. The overall growth in the securities portfolio over the comparable periods was primarily funded by deposit growth.

Net unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities were $6.1 million at December 31, 2005 compared with $4.8
million at December 31, 2004. Management believes that the unrealized losses in the Company’s securities portfolio at
December 31, 2005 were primarily due to interest rate increases. Because the decline in market value is attributable to
changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold such securities
until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider such securities to be other-than-
temporarily impaired at December 31, 2005.
Mortgage-backed securities are securities that have been developed by pooling a number of real estate mortgages and
which are principally issued by federal agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are deemed to have high credit ratings, and minimum regular monthly cash flows of
principal and interest are guaranteed by the issuing agencies.
Unlike U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, which have a lump sum payment at maturity, mortgage-
backed securities provide cash flows from regular principal and interest payments and principal prepayments throughout the
lives of the securities. Mortgage-backed securities which are purchased at a premium will generally suffer decreasing net
yields as interest rates drop because home owners tend to refinance their mortgages. Thus, the premium paid must be
amortized over a shorter period. Therefore, these securities purchased at a discount will obtain higher net yields in a
decreasing interest rate environment. As interest rates rise, the opposite will generally be true. During a period of increasing
interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities do not tend to experience heavy prepayments of principal and
consequently, the average life of this security will not be shortened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments will increase.
At December 31, 2005, 38.8% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company had contractual final maturities of
more than ten years with a weighted average life of 3.73 years.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are bonds that are backed by pools of mortgages. The pools can be
Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pools or they can be private-label pools. CMOs are designed so that the mortgage
collateral will generate a cash flow sufficient to provide for the timely repayment of the bonds. The mortgage collateral pool
can be structured to accommodate various desired bond repayment schedules, provided that the collateral cash flow is
adequate to meet scheduled bond payments. This is accomplished by dividing the bonds into classes to which payments on
the underlying mortgage pools are allocated in different order. The bond’s cash flow, for example can be dedicated to one
class of bondholders at a time, thereby increasing call protection to bondholders. In private-label CMOs, losses on underlying
40
mortgages are directed to the most junior of all classes and then to the classes above in order of increasing seniority, which
means that the senior classes have enough credit protection to be given the highest credit rating by the rating agencies.
At the date of purchase, the Company is required to classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories:
held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed.
Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in the financial statements
only if management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial
statements with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or
trading are classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and
losses reported, net of tax, in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized.
Deposits
The Company’s lending and investment activities are primarily funded by deposits. The Company offers a variety of
deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms including demand, savings, money market and time
accounts. The Company relies primarily on competitive pricing policies and customer service to attract and retain these
deposits. The Company does not have or accept any brokered deposits.
Total deposits at December 31, 2005 were $2.920 billion, an increase of $603.2 million or 26.0% compared with
$2.317 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the First Capital and Grapeland acquisitions
in 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the banking centers acquired in 2005 had approximately $621.2 million in total deposits.
Noninterest-bearing deposits were $674.4 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $156.0 million or 30.1% compared
with $518.4 million at December 31, 2004. Noninterest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2004 were $518.4 million
compared with $467.4 million at December 31, 2003. Interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2005 were $2.25 billion, up
$447.2 million or 24.9% from $1.80 billion at December 31, 2004. Interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2004 of $1.80
billion represented a $182.4 million or 11.3% increase compared with $1.62 billion at December 31, 2003. Total deposits at
December 31, 2003 were $2.08 billion. There were no major concentrations of deposits at December 31, 2005, 2004 or 2003.

Other Borrowings
The Company utilizes borrowings to supplement deposits to fund its lending and investment activities. Borrowings
consist of funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and correspondent banks. FHLB advances are considered
short-term, overnight borrowings. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $55.4 million in FHLB borrowings which
consisted of $38.4 million in long-term FHLB notes payable and $17.0 million in FHLB advances compared with $13.1
million in FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2004, all of which were long-term FHLB notes payable. The $42.3 million
increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of $2.6 million in FHLB long-term notes payable from the Village
acquisition, $30.6 million in FHLB long-term notes payable acquired from the First Capital acquisition and FHLB advances
of $17.0 million, partially offset by normal pay downs on the remaining notes. The weighted average interest rate paid on the
FHLB advances at period end was 4.4%. The maturity dates on the FHLB notes payable range from the years 2006 to 2028
and have interest rates ranging from 2.79% to 8.80%. The highest outstanding balance of FHLB advances during 2005 was
$39.0 million compared with $50.0 million during 2004. The Company had no federal funds purchased at December 31, 2005
or 2004.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had $47.0 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements compared with
$25.1 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $21.9 million or 87.5%. The increase was primarily attributable to
customers maintaining higher balances.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had six issues of junior subordinated debentures outstanding totaling
$75.8 million compared with four issues totaling $47.4 million at December 31, 2004 as shown in the following table. The
Company assumed $28.4 million in junior subordinated debentures in connection with the First Capital acquisition in 2005.

(1) Assumed in connection with the Paradigm acquisition on September 1, 2002 and fully redeemed on February 28, 2006.
(2) Assumed in connection with the First Capital acquisition on March 1, 2005.
(3) The debentures bear a fixed interest rate until September 17, 2008, when the rate begins to float on a quarterly basis
based on the three-month LIBOR plus 3.00%.
(4) The debentures bear a fixed interest rate until December 30, 2008, when the rate begins to float on a quarterly basis
based on the three-month LIBOR plus 2.85%.
(5) The 3-month LIBOR in effect as of December 31, 2005 was 4.53%.
(6) The debentures are callable five years from issuance date.
On December 31, 2004, the Company redeemed in full the $12.4 million in junior subordinated debentures issued to
Prosperity Capital Trust I. Prosperity Capital Trust I in turn redeemed in full the trust preferred securities and common
securities it issued.
Each of the trusts is a capital or statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and
investing the proceeds in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The preferred trust securities of each trust represent
preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of
the junior subordinated debentures held by the trust. The common securities of each trust are wholly-owned by the Company.
Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making
payment on the related junior subordinated debentures. The debentures, which are the only assets of each trust, are
42
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s present and future senior indebtedness. The Company has
fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s obligations under the trust securities issued by such trust to the extent not
paid or made by each trust, provided such trust has funds available for such obligations.
Under the provisions of each issue of the debentures, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the
debentures at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on either issue of the
debentures are deferred, the distributions on the applicable trust preferred securities and common securities will also be
deferred.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
The Company’s asset liability and funds management policy provides management with the necessary guidelines for
effective funds management, and the Company has established a measurement system for monitoring its net interest rate
sensitivity position. The Company manages its sensitivity position within established guidelines.
As a financial institution, the Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in
interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of the Company’s assets and
liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a
short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These
economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The
objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at
the same time maximizing income.
The Company manages its exposure to interest rates by structuring its balance sheet in the ordinary course of business.
The Company does not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, interest rate swaps, financial options, financial
future contracts or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. Based upon the nature of the
Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. The Company does not own
any trading assets.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which is
composed of senior officers of the Company, in accordance with policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The ALCO formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of
interest rate risk, the ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential
changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The ALCO meets regularly to
review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of
assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the
maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the ALCO reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of
deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management uses two methodologies to manage interest rate risk:
(1) an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and (2) an interest rate shock
simulation model. The Company has traditionally managed its business to reduce its overall exposure to changes in interest
rates.
An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an
interest rate change in line with general market interest rates. The management of interest rate risk is performed by analyzing
the maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in
time (“GAP”) and by analyzing the effects of interest rate changes on net interest income over specific periods of time by
projecting the performance of the mix of assets and liabilities in varied interest rate environments. Interest rate sensitivity
reflects the potential effect on net interest income of a movement in interest rates. A company is considered to be asset
sensitive, or having a positive GAP, when the amount of its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a given
period exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also maturing or repricing within that time period. Conversely, a
company is considered to be liability sensitive, or having a negative GAP, when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within a given period exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets also maturing or repricing within
that time period. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative GAP would tend to affect net interest income adversely,
while a positive GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a
negative GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive GAP would tend to affect net
interest income adversely.

While the GAP position is a useful tool in measuring interest rate risk and contributes toward effective asset and
liability management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that measure, without accounting
for alterations in the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest
rates. For example, the GAP position reflects only the prepayment assumptions pertaining to the current rate environment.
Assets tend to prepay more rapidly during periods of declining interest rates than during periods of rising interest rates.
Because of this and other risk factors not contemplated by the GAP position, an institution could have a matched GAP
position in the current rate environment and still have its net interest income exposed to increased rate risk. Additionally, the
Company had $674.4 million in noninterest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2005 which are not reflected in the table above
and are not directly impacted by interest rate changes.
In addition to GAP analysis, the Company uses an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the
interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet, respectively. Contractual maturities and repricing
opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the
investment portfolio. Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for nonmaturity deposit
accounts. The Company’s December 31, 2005 simulation analysis estimates a percentage of change in these metrics from the
stable rate base scenario versus alternative scenarios of rising and falling market interest rates by instantaneously shocking a
static balance sheet. The following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month horizon in
the event of an immediate change in interest rates:

The results are primarily due to behavior of demand, money market and savings deposits during such rate fluctuations.
The Company has found that historically, interest rates on these deposits change more slowly than changes in the discount
and federal funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a
GAP analysis.
Liquidity
Liquidity involves the Company’s ability to raise funds to support asset growth or reduce assets to meet deposit
withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate the Company on an
ongoing basis. During the three years ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s liquidity needs have primarily been met by
growth in core deposits and the issuance of junior subordinated debentures, as previously discussed. Although access to
purchased funds from correspondent banks is available and has been utilized on occasion to take advantage of investment
opportunities, the Company does not generally rely on these external funding sources. The cash and federal funds sold
position, supplemented by amortizing investment and loan portfolios, have generally created an adequate liquidity position.
Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable or which will mature in the near future. As
of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $97.4 million compared with $137.9 million at
December 31, 2004. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in federal funds sold of $73.3 million, partially offset by an
increase in cash and due from banks of $32.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had junior subordinated
debentures outstanding of $75.8 million compared with $47.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was due to the
assumption of $28.4 million in junior subordinated debentures from First Capital.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and other commitments to make future
payments as of December 31, 2005 (other than deposit obligations). The Company’s future cash payments associated with its
contractual obligations pursuant to its junior subordinated debentures, FHLB notes payable and operating leases as of
December 31, 2005 are summarized below. Payments for FHLB notes payable include interest of $8.3 million that will be
paid over the future periods. Payments related to leases are based on actual payments specified in underlying contracts.

securities it issued.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters
into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the
amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
45
The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit
as of December 31, 2005 are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to
extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements:

Standby Letters of Credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the
terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum
potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the
commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The
Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to
those contained in loan agreements.
Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with
fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s
commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan
funding. The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and
monitoring procedures. Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in
determining the level of the allowance for credit losses.
Capital Resources
Capital management consists of providing equity to support the Company’s current and future operations. The
Company is subject to capital adequacy requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to
capital adequacy requirements imposed by the FDIC. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk-based
capital requirements for assessing bank holding company and bank capital adequacy. These standards define capital and
establish minimum capital requirements in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure, adjusted for credit risk. The risk-
based capital standards currently in effect are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences
in risk profiles among bank holding companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize
disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with
appropriate relative risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets
and off-balance sheet items.
The risk-based capital standards issued by the Federal Reserve Board require all bank holding companies to have “Tier
1 capital” of at least 4.0% and “total risk-based” capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of at least 8.0% of total risk-weighted tangible
assets. “Tier 1 capital” generally includes common shareholders’ equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together
with related surpluses and retained earnings, less deductions for goodwill and various other intangibles. “Tier 2 capital” may
consist of a limited amount of intermediate-term preferred stock, a limited amount of term subordinated debt, certain hybrid
capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, and a limited amount
of the general valuation allowance for loan losses. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is “total risk-based capital.”
The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted guidelines which supplement the risk-based capital guidelines with a
minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated tangible assets, or “leverage ratio,” of 3.0% for institutions with
well diversified risk, including no undue interest rate exposure; excellent asset quality; high liquidity; good earnings; and that
are generally considered to be strong banking organizations, rated composite 1 under applicable federal guidelines, and that
are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. Other banking organizations are required to maintain a leverage ratio
of at least 4.0%. These rules further provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions
will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels and comparable to peer
group averages, without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Pursuant to FDICIA, each federal banking agency revised its risk-based capital standards to ensure that those standards
take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as
reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. The Bank is subject to capital adequacy
46
guidelines of the FDIC that are substantially similar to the Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines. Also pursuant to FDICIA, the
FDIC has promulgated regulations setting the levels at which an insured institution such as the Bank would be considered
“well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically
undercapitalized.” Under the FDIC’s regulations, the Bank is classified “well-capitalized” for purposes of prompt corrective
action.
Total shareholders’ equity increased to $464.7 million at December 31, 2005 compared with $275.6 million at
December 31, 2004, an increase of $189.1 million or 68.6%. This increase was primarily the result of net income of $47.9
million and an increase in Common Stock issued of $149.6 million in connection with the First Capital and Grapeland
acquisitions, partially offset by dividends paid on the Common Stock of $9.6 million. During 2004, shareholders’ equity
increased by $56.1 million or 25.5% compared with $219.6 million at December 31, 2003 primarily due to net income of
$34.7 million and an increase in Common Stock issued of $32.0 million in connection with the Liberty acquisition, partially
offset by dividends paid on the Common Stock of $6.7 million.
The following table provides a comparison of the Company’s and the Bank’s leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios

The trust preferred securities issued by the Company’s subsidiary trusts are currently included in the Company’s Tier 1
capital for regulatory purposes. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted final rules that continue to allow trust
preferred securities to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative limits. Currently, trust
preferred securities and qualifying perpetual preferred stock are limited in the aggregate to no more than 25% of a bank
holding company’s core capital elements. The new rule amends the existing limit by providing that restricted core capital
elements (including trust preferred securities and qualifying perpetual preferred stock) can be no more than 25% of core
capital, net of goodwill and associated deferred tax liability. Because the 25% limit currently is calculated without deducting
goodwill, the final rule reduces the amount of trust preferred securities that the Company can include in Tier 1 capital. The
amount of such excess trust preferred securities are includable in Tier 2 capital. The new quantitative limits will be fully
effective March 31, 2009.
Assuming these final rules were effective at December 31, 2005, approximately $61.4 million of trust preferred
securities would count as Tier 1 capital. The excess amount of trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 2 capital.
Assuming these final rules were effective at December 31, 2005, the Company’s consolidated capital ratios would have been:
Pro forma Consolidated Risk Based Capital Ratios:
Total capital (to risk weighted assets)..........................................................
Tier I capital (to risk weighted assets) .........................................................
Tier I capital (to average assets) ..................................................................
16.37%
14.61%
7.46%
Each of the trusts issuing the trust preferred securities holds junior subordinated debentures the Company issued with a
30-year maturity. The final rules provide that in the last five years before the junior subordinated debentures mature, the
associated trust preferred securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital and included in Tier 2 capital. In addition, the trust
preferred securities during this five-year period would be amortized out of Tier 2 capital by one-fifth each year and excluded
from Tier 2 capital completely during the year prior to maturity of the debentures.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,
and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”))
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to the Company’s management within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter
ended December 31, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2005, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control—
Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. This
assessment included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance
with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C) to meet the
reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. Based on the
assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on those criteria.
Deloitte & Touche, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial
statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. The
report is included in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
Compliance with Designated Laws and Regulations
Management is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the federal laws and regulations concerning loans to
insiders and the federal and state laws and regulations concerning dividend restrictions, both of which are designated by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as safety and soundness laws and regulations.
Management assessed its compliance with the designated safety and soundness laws and regulations and has
maintained records of its determinations and assessments as required by the FDIC. Based on this assessment, management
believes that the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the designated safety and soundness laws and
regulations for the year ended December 31, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting, that Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because management’s
assessment and our audit were conducted to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), management’s assessment and our audit of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in
accordance with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C).
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing, and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the
company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also,
in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have not examined and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on
management’s statement referring to compliance with laws and regulations.
52
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company and our report
dated March 6, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prosperity Bancshares Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prosperity
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United State of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and our report dated March 6, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment
of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancshares and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and
reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices within the banking industry. A summary of significant accounting and reporting
policies is as follows:
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Securities—Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion
of discounts. Management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold these assets as long-term securities
until their estimated maturities.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and
reported, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Securities within the available for sale
66
portfolio may be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest risk,
prepayment risk or other similar economic factors.
Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are other
than temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs would be
included in earnings as realized losses.
Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted to operations using the level-yield method of accounting, adjusted
for prepayments as applicable. The specific identification method of accounting is used to compute gains or losses on the
sales of these assets. Interest earned on these assets is included in interest income.
Loans Held for Investment—Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned discount and fees.
Unearned discount relates principally to consumer installment loans. The related interest income for multipayment loans is
recognized principally by the “sum of the digits” method which records interest in proportion to the declining outstanding
balances of the loans; for single payment loans, such income is recognized using the straight-line method.
Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Lending Activities—Loan origination fees in excess of the
associated costs are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.
Generally, loan commitment fees are deferred, except for certain retrospectively determined fees, and recognized as an
adjustment of yield by the interest method over the related loan life or, if the commitment expires unexercised, recognized in
income upon expiration of the commitment.
Nonperforming and Past Due Loans—Included in the nonperforming loan category are loans which have been
categorized by management as nonaccrual because collection of interest is doubtful and loans which have been restructured
to provide a reduction in the interest rate or a deferral of interest or principal payments. When the payment of principal or
interest on a loan is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in some cases, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is
in the process of collection and the underlying collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. If the decision is made
to continue accruing interest on the loan, periodic reviews are made to confirm the accruing status of the loan. When a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued during the current year prior to the judgment of uncollectibility is charged to
operations. Interest accrued during prior periods is charged to allowance for credit losses. Generally, any payments received
on nonaccrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan amounts and next to the recovery of charged-off loan amounts. Any
excess is treated as recovery of lost interest.
Restructured loans are those loans on which concessions in terms have been granted because of a borrower’s financial
difficulty. Interest is generally accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms.
Allowance for Credit Losses—The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance available for losses incurred
on loans. All losses are charged to the allowance when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that such a
loss is probable. Recoveries are credited to the allowance at the time of recovery.
Throughout the year, management estimates the probable level of losses to determine whether the allowance for credit
losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on these estimates, an amount is charged to the
provision for credit losses and credited to the allowance for credit losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined
to be adequate to absorb losses.
In making its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, management considers factors such as
historical loan loss experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, the amount of
nonperforming assets and related collateral, the volume, growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current
economic changes that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s
loan portfolio through its internal loan review process and other relevant factors.
Estimates of credit losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in the short term the Company may
sustain losses which are substantial in relation to the allowance for credit losses, it is the judgment of management that the
allowance for credit losses reflected in the consolidated balance sheets is adequate to absorb probable losses that exist in the
current loan portfolio.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as
amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition and Disclosure applies
to all impaired loans, with the exception of groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment. A loan is defined as impaired by SFAS No. 114 if, based on current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due, both interest and principal, according to the contractual terms of the loan
67
agreement. Specifically, SFAS No. 114 requires that the allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans be determined
based on the difference of carrying value of loans and the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s
effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $355,000 in nonaccrual loans, $788,000 in 90 days or
more past due loans and no restructured loans. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $297,000 in nonaccrual loans, $1.1
million in 90 days or more past due loans and no restructured loans.
Interest revenue received on impaired loans is either applied against principal or realized as interest revenue, according
to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal.
Premises and Equipment—Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
expense is computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from
three to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the periods of the leases or the
estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill—Goodwill is annually assessed for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on such impairment factors as the
nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as
other external market conditions or factors that may be present.
Amortization of Core Deposit Intangibles—Core deposit intangibles are amortized using an accelerated amortization
method over an 8 year period.
Income Taxes—Bancshares files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Bank computes federal income taxes as
if it filed a separate return and remits to, or is reimbursed by, Bancshares based on the portion of taxes currently due or
refundable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Stock-Based Compensation—As of December 31, 2005, the Company had three stock-based employee compensation
plans. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for awards granted under stock-based compensation plans under the recognition
and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.
No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in previously reported results, as all options granted under those
plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In December
2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS 148). Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and
Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 was effective for
financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as provided by
SFAS No. 148 for stock-based employee compensation (see Note 14).
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due
from banks as well as federal funds sold that mature in three days or less.
Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year
presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently for the periods presented. During 2005, the Company
elected to reclassify brokered mortgage income from other noninterest income to a separate category and reclassify net gains
on held for sale loans from net gains on sales of assets to a separate category. These reclassifications had no impact on
financial condition, net income or equity in any of the reported periods.
Earnings Per Share—SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. Net income per common share for all periods presented has been calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128.
Outstanding stock options issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average
shares.

The incremental shares for the assumed exercise of the outstanding options were determined by application of the
treasury stock method. There were no stock options exercisable at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 that would have had
an anti-dilutive effect on the above computation.
New Accounting Standards—
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a
change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to a newly adopted accounting
principle. Previously, most changes in accounting principle were recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing
to the new accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. Under SFAS 154, retrospective application
requires (i) the cumulative effect of the change to the new accounting principle on periods prior to those presented to be
reflected in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the first period presented, (ii) an offsetting
adjustment, if any, to be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for
that period, and (iii) financial statements for each individual prior period presented to be adjusted to reflect the direct period-
specific effects of applying the new accounting principle. Special retroactive application rules apply in situations where it is
impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Indirect effects of a
change in accounting principle are required to be reported in the period in which the accounting change is made. SFAS 154
carries forward the guidance in APB Opinion 20, Accounting Changes, requiring justification of a change in accounting
principle on the basis of preferability. SFAS 154 also carries forward without change the guidance contained in APB
Opinion 20, for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and for a change in an
accounting estimate. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect SFAS 154 will significantly impact its financial statements upon its
adoption on January 1, 2006.
SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004). SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for
transactions in which an entity (i) exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, or (ii) incurs liabilities in exchange
for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance
of the equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and
requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the
date of the grant. SFAS 123R is mandatory for all entities on January 1, 2006. The Company does not expect SFAS 123R
will significantly impact its financial statements upon its adoption on January 1, 2006.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Positions
FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to
Certain Investments. FSP 115-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether
impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the
fair value of the investment is less than its cost. If, after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable
value of its investment, impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized
equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. FSP 115-1 nullifies certain provisions of Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments, while retaining the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 which were adopted in 2003. FSP 115-1 is effective
for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect FSP 115-1 will significantly impact
its financial statements upon its adoption on January 1, 2006.
American Institute of Certified Public Accounting Statements of Position
SOP No. 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 addresses
accounting for differences between the contractual cash flows of certain loans and debt securities and the cash flows expected
to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a transfer and those cash flow differences are attributable, at least
in part, to credit quality. As such, SOP 03-3 applies to loans and debt securities acquired individually, in pools or as part of a
business combination and does not apply to originated loans. The application of SOP 03-3 limits the interest income,
including accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans and debt securities. Additionally,
SOP 03-3 does not allow the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected to be recognized as an
adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance, such as the allowance for possible loan losses. SOP 03-3 requires
that increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment be recognized prospectively through adjustment of
the yield on the loan or debt security over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as
impairment. In the case of loans acquired in a business combination where the loans show signs of credit deterioration,
SOP 03-3 represents a significant change from current purchase accounting practice whereby the acquiree’s allowance for
loan losses is typically added to the acquirer’s allowance for loan losses. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities
acquired by the Company beginning January 1, 2005. The Company evaluates the impact of SOP 03-03 on all of its
acquisitions. The adoption of SOP 03-03 on January 1, 2005 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions are an integral part of the Company’s growth strategy. All acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recorded at their fair
values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets for each
acquisition was recorded as goodwill, none of which was deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for each
acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on the respective acquisition date.
The following acquisitions were completed on the dates indicated:
On December 1, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of Grapeland Bancshares, Inc. (“Grapeland”),
Grapeland, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, Grapeland merged into the Company and subsequently, Grapeland’s

Gross core deposit intangibles outstanding were $29.2 million at December 31, 2005 and $14.3 million at
December 31, 2004. Purchase accounting adjustments to prior year acquisitions were made to adjust deferred tax asset and
liability balances. Goodwill is recorded on the acquisition date of each entity. The Company may record subsequent
adjustments to goodwill for amounts undeterminable at acquisition date, such as deferred taxes, and therefore the goodwill
amounts reflected in the table above may change accordingly.
Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated lives which is 8 years. Amortization
expense related to intangible assets totaled $3.9 million in 2005, $1.8 million in 2004 and $818,000 in 2003. The estimated
aggregate future amortization expense for intangible assets remaining as of December 31, 2005 is as follows (dollars in

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of
time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuer and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Management has the ability and intent to hold its securities until they mature, at which time the Company will receive
full value for the securities. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available
at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the investments approach their
maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the
securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2005 are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as
of December 31, 2005, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment
loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Securities with unrealized losses segregated by length of time such securities have been in a continuous loss position at
December 31, 2005 were as follows:

the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company has no brokered deposits and there are no major concentrations of deposits with any one depositor.
10. BORROWINGS
Other borrowings—The Company utilizes borrowings to supplement deposits to fund its lending and investment
activities. Borrowings consist of funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and correspondent banks. FHLB
advances are considered short-term, overnight borrowings. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $55.4 million in FHLB
borrowings which consisted of $38.4 million in long-term FHLB notes payable and $17.0 million in FHLB advances
compared with $13.1 million in FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2004, all of which were long-term FHLB notes payable.
The $42.3 million increase was primarily attributable to the $2.6 million in FHLB long-term notes payable acquired in the
Village acquisition, $30.6 million in FHLB long-term notes payable acquired in the First Capital acquisition and FHLB
advances of $17.0 million, partially offset by normal pay downs on the remaining notes. The weighted average interest rate
paid on the FHLB advances at period end was 4.4%. The maturity dates on the FHLB notes payable range from the years
2006 to 2028 and have interest rates ranging from 2.79% to 8.80%. The highest outstanding balance of FHLB advances
during 2005 was $39.0 million compared with $50.0 million during 2004. The Company had no federal funds purchased at
December 31, 2005 or 2004.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements—At December 31, 2005, the Company had $47.0 million in securities
sold under repurchase agreements compared with $25.1 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $21.9 million or 87.5%.
11. INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company is principally engaged in providing real estate, consumer and commercial loans, with interest rates that
are both fixed and variable. These loans are primarily funded through short-term demand deposits and longer-term
certificates of deposit with variable and fixed rates. The fixed real estate loans are more sensitive to interest rate risk because
of their fixed rates and longer maturities.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to
meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the
Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-
balance-sheet instruments.

Company:

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 or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash funding requirements. At December 31, 2005,
$30.4 million of commitments to extend credit have fixed rates ranging from 3.15% to 18.00%.
Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the
third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the
Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is
funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that
standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.
The Company evaluates customer creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
considered necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income and estimates of future taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are
deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible
differences at December 31, 2005. The change in the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities include purchase
accounting adjustments.
14. STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAMS
The Company had three stock-based employee compensation plans at December 31, 2005. Prior to 2003, the Company
accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in previously
reported results, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying
common stock on the date of grant. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (SFAS 148). Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS 148 provides
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as provided by SFAS 148 for stock-based employee compensation.
During 1995, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option plan (the “1995 Plan”) for executive officers
and key associates to purchase common stock of Bancshares. A total of 675,000 options have been granted under the 1995
plan as of December 31, 2005. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the
1995 Plan is 680,000 (after two-for-one and four-for-one stock splits). Options to acquire a total of 53,000 shares of common
stock of Bancshares were outstanding at December 31, 2005, of which 2,000 shares were exercisable. The 1995 Plan expired
on July 31, 2005 and therefore no additional options may be issued from the Plan.
80
During 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved a second stock option plan (the “1998
Plan”) which authorizes the issuance of up to 920,000 (after two-for-one stock split) shares of the common stock of
Bancshares under both “non-qualified” and “incentive” stock options to employees and “non-qualified” stock options to
directors who are not employees. The 1998 Plan also provides for the granting of restricted stock awards, stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock awards and performance awards on substantially similar terms. A total of 886,500 options have been
granted under the 1998 plan as of December 31, 2005. Options to purchase a total of 830,000 shares of common stock of
Bancshares were outstanding at December 31, 2005, of which 74,350 shares were exercisable.
In December 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors established the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive
Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on February 23, 2005. The 2004 Plan authorizes
the issuance of up to 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options granted under the 2004 Plan or upon
the grant or exercise, as the case may be, of other awards granted under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan provides for the
granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to directors who are not
employees. The 2004 Plan also provides for the granting of shares of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock awards and performance awards on substantially similar terms. A total of 42,500 options and 4,917 shares of restricted
stock have been granted under the 2004 Plan as of December 31, 2005. Options to purchase a total of 42,500 shares of
common stock of Bancshares were outstanding at December 31, 2005, of which none were exercisable. At December 31,
2005, 4,917 shares of restricted stock were outstanding and subject to forfeiture restrictions.
On September 1, 2002, the Company acquired Paradigm Bancorporation. The options to purchase shares of Paradigm

It is expected that in the normal course of business, expiring leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other
property or equipment.
Rent expense under all noncancelable operating lease obligations aggregated approximately $3.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $1.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003.
Litigation—The Company has been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, after reviewing such claims with outside counsel, resolution of such matters will not
have a materially adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.
17. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking
agencies. Any institution that fails to meet its minimum capital requirements is subject to actions by regulators that could
have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines based on the
Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off- balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and the Bank’s classification under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about the components, risk weightings and other
factors.
To meet the capital adequacy requirements, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum capital amounts and
ratios as defined in the regulations. Management believes, as of December 31, 2005 that the Company and the Bank met all
capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
At December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain
minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There have been no conditions
or events since that notification which management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

18. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Disclosures of the estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily
required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
value.
Interest-Bearing Deposits in Financial Institutions—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Federal Funds Sold—The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities—For securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans Held for Investment—For certain homogeneous categories of loans (such as some residential mortgages and
other consumer loans), fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the risk-free Treasury rate for the
applicable maturity, adjusted for servicing and credit risk. The carrying value of variable rate loans approximates fair value
because the loans reprice frequently to current market rates.
Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Junior Subordinated Debentures—The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was calculated using the
quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market
prices for similar subordinated debentures.
Other Borrowings—Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities
are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt using a discounted cash flows methodology.
Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements—The fair value of securities sold under repurchase agreements is the
amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
Federal Home Loan Bank Notes Payable—Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt using a discounted cash flows methodology.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments—The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms
of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.
85
The estimated fair values of the Company’s interest-earning financial instruments are as follows:
Financial assets:
Cash and due from banks ...........................................
Interest bearing deposits in financial institutions .......
Federal funds sold ......................................................
Held to maturity securities .........................................
Available for sale securities .......................................
Loans held for investment ..........................................

The differences in fair value and carrying value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit were not
material at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of the dates
indicated. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts,
such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and,
therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

(2) Assumed in connection with the First Capital acquisition on March 1, 2005.
(3) The debentures bear a fixed interest rate until September 17, 2008, when the rate begins to float on a quarterly basis
based on the three-month LIBOR plus 3.00%.
86
(4) The debentures bear a fixed interest rate until December 30, 2008, when the rate begins to float on a quarterly basis
based on the three-month LIBOR plus 2.85%.
(5) The 3-month LIBOR in effect as of December 31, 2005 was 4.53%.
(6) The debentures are callable five years after issuance date.
On December 31, 2004, the Company redeemed in full the $12.4 million in junior subordinated debentures issued to
Prosperity Capital Trust I. Prosperity Capital Trust I in turn redeemed in full the trust preferred securities and common
securities it issued.
Each of the trusts is a capital or statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and
investing the proceeds in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The preferred trust securities of each trust represent
preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of
the junior subordinated debentures held by the trust. The common securities of each trust are wholly-owned by the Company.
Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making
payment on the related junior subordinated debentures. The debentures, which are the only assets of each trust, are
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s present and future senior indebtedness. The Company has
fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s obligations under the trust securities issued by each respective trust to the
extent not paid or made by each trust, provided such trust has funds available for such obligations.
Under the provisions of each issue of the debentures, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the
debentures at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on either issue of the
debentures are deferred, the distributions on the applicable trust preferred securities and common securities will also be
deferred.
In late 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (Revised December
2003). FIN 46R requires that trust preferred securities be deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. The Company adopted FIN 46R on January 1, 2004 and as a result, no longer reflects the trust preferred securities
in its consolidated financial statements. Instead, the junior subordinated debentures are shown as liabilities in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets and interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures is shown as interest
expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
