PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

GENERAL

 

Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (“Texas Regional” or the “Company”) is a Texas business corporation incorporated in 1983 and headquartered in McAllen, Texas. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and as such is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”). Texas Regional Delaware, Inc., incorporated under the laws of Delaware as a wholly owned second tier bank holding company subsidiary, owns Texas State Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s primary operating subsidiary. The Bank has two active wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) TSB Securities, Inc., incorporated in 1997 to provide full service broker-dealer services and (ii) TSB Properties, Inc., incorporated in 1998 to receive and liquidate foreclosed assets.

 

The Company has grown rapidly through a series of strategic acquisitions. The Company acquired the Rio Grande City and Roma branches of First National Bank of South Texas during 1995. A secondary public offering of 2.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A Voting Common Stock was completed on May 14, 1996. Concurrently, the Company also completed the acquisition of First State Bank & Trust Co., Mission, Texas and The Border Bank, Hidalgo, Texas. On February 19, 1998, the Company acquired Brownsville National Bank, Brownsville, Texas, Texas Bank and Trust, Brownsville, Texas and Bank of Texas, Raymondville, Texas. On October 1, 1999, the Company acquired Harlingen National Bank, Harlingen, Texas.  The Company made its first acquisition outside of the Rio Grande Valley on February 22, 2002 through the acquisition of Riverway Bank of Houston, Texas.  On November 18, 2002, the Company acquired Texas Country Bank, San Juan, Texas.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Bank operated twenty-nine banking locations. Twenty-eight banking locations are located in the Rio Grande Valley including four banking locations in McAllen (including its main office), four banking locations in Brownsville, four banking locations in Harlingen, three banking locations in Mission, two banking locations in Weslaco, and one banking location each in Edinburg, Hidalgo, La Feria, Mercedes, Palm Valley, Penitas, Raymondville, Rio Grande City, San Juan, Progreso and Roma.  At December 31, 2002, the Company had consolidated total assets of $3.8 billion, loans held for investment (net of unearned discount) of $2.3 billion, deposits of $3.1 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $377.5 million.

 

The Company’s business strategy is to provide its customers with the financial sophistication and breadth of products of a regional bank, while retaining the local appeal and level of service of a community bank. The Board of Directors and management have maintained the Bank’s community orientation by tailoring products and services to meet community and customer needs. Management believes that the Bank is well positioned in its market due to its responsive customer service, the strong community involvement of management and employees, the recent trends in the Texas banking environment and the vitality of the economy in its market areas. Management’s strategy is to provide a business culture in which individual customers and small and medium sized businesses are accorded the highest priority in all aspects of the Company’s operations.

 

For its business customers, the Bank offers checking facilities, certificates of deposit, short-term loans for working capital purposes, construction financing, mortgage loans, term loans for fixed asset and expansion needs and other commercial loans. The services provided for individuals by the Bank include checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts and consumer loan programs, including installment loans for home repair and for purchases of consumer goods, including automobiles, trucks and boats, and mortgage loans. The Bank also provides travelers checks, money orders and safe deposit facilities, and offers trust services.

 

The Bank has also expanded the services that it provides to third party correspondent banks. The Bank’s data processing center, for example, presently serves seven banks in the Rio Grande Valley in addition to providing data processing services for all of the Bank’s banking locations.  On January 31, 2002, the Bank acquired assets and data processing service contracts from a third party processor located in Grapevine, Texas.  As a result of that acquisition the Bank now provides data processing services for 17 banks in North Texas.

 

Management believes there may be opportunities to expand by acquiring other banks or by acquiring assets and deposits that will allow the Company to enter other markets or further increase market share in existing markets. Management intends to pursue acquisition opportunities in strategic markets in circumstances in which management believes that its managerial, operational and capital resources will enhance the performance of acquired institutions.

 

COMPETITION

 

At December 31, 2002, substantially all of the Company’s operations were located in the Rio Grande Valley, which consists of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy Counties, and in the greater Houston metropolitan area. Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr Counties are adjacent to the Rio Grande River, which forms part of the border between the United States and Mexico. Effective with the acquisition of Riverway Bank in Houston, Texas in February 2002, the Company made its first acquisition outside of the Rio Grande Valley.

 

2



 

The Bank encounters intense competition in its commercial banking business, primarily from other banks located in its market areas. The Bank also competes with insurance, finance and mortgage companies, savings and loan institutions, credit unions, money market funds and other financial institutions. Competition is based upon interest rates offered on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and other credit and service charges, the quality and scope of the services rendered, the convenience of banking facilities, and, in the case of loans to commercial borrowers, the banks’ lending limits. A substantial number of the commercial banks in the market areas served by the Bank are branches of much larger organizations affiliated with national, regional or state-wide banking companies which are larger than the Bank in terms of capital, resources and personnel. However, as a major independent community bank headquartered in Texas, management believes that the Company’s community commitment and involvement in its primary market area, as well as its commitment to quality and personalized banking services, are factors that contribute to the Company’s competitiveness.

 

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

 

In addition to the generally applicable state and federal laws governing businesses and employers, special federal and state laws applicable only to financial institutions and their parent companies extensively regulate the Company and the Bank. Virtually all aspects of the Company’s operations are subject to specific requirements or restrictions and general regulatory oversight, from laws regulating consumer finance transactions, such as the Truth In Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, to laws regulating collections and confidentiality, such as the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Right to Financial Privacy Act. With few exceptions, state and federal banking laws have as their principal objective either the maintenance of the safety and soundness of the federal deposit insurance system or the protection of consumers or classes of consumers, rather than the specific protection of shareholders of the Company.

 

References to statutes, regulations, decisions and interpretations in this Annual Report do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual text of the relevant statutes, regulations, decisions and interpretations.

 

REGULATION OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”), as amended, and therefore is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). In addition, the Company is required to file reports with and to furnish such other information as the FRB may require pursuant to the BHCA, and to subject itself to examination by the FRB. The FRB has the authority to issue bank holding companies orders to cease and desist from unsound practices and violations of conditions imposed by, or violation of agreements with, the FRB. The FRB is also empowered to assess civil penalties against companies or individuals who violate the BHCA or orders or regulations thereunder in amounts up to $1.0 million per day, to order termination of non-approved activities and to order termination of ownership and control of non-approved subsidiaries. Certain violations may also result in criminal penalties. The FRB and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as appropriate, are authorized to exercise comparable authority, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDI Act”) and other statutes, with respect to subsidiary banks.

 

The FRB takes the position that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the FRB’s position that, in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the FRB regulations or both. Changes in the FDI Act made by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the “FDICIA”) now require an undercapitalized institution to submit to the FRB a capital restoration plan with a guaranty, by each company having control of the bank, of the bank’s compliance with the plan.

 

The BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the FRB, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either FRB approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the FRB and not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a bank holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for certain transactions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities and either the company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or no other person will own a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenge of the rebuttable control presumption.

 

As a bank holding company, the Company is required to obtain approval prior to merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company, acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or acquiring ownership or control of

 

3



 

shares of a bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition, the Company would directly or indirectly own or control 5% or more of the voting shares of such bank or bank holding company.

 

Historically, the Company has been prohibited from acquiring a direct or indirect interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiary bank, except that FRB has permitted bank holding companies to engage in and own shares of companies engaged in certain activities found by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities include, among others, operating a mortgage, finance, credit card, or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing investment and financial advice; acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing personal property on a full pay out, non-operating basis; and providing certain stock brokerage and investment advisory services. In approving acquisitions or the addition of activities, the FRB has considered 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. In considering any application for approval of an acquisition or merger, the FRB is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources of the companies and the banks concerned, as well as the applicant’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”). The CRA generally requires a financial institution to take affirmative action to ascertain and meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.

 

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“Gramm-Leach”), enacted by Congress in November 1999, now permits bank holding companies with subsidiary banks meeting certain capital and management requirements to elect to become “financial holding companies”. Beginning in March 2000, financial holding companies may engage in a full range of financial activities, including not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities determined to be “financial in nature”. Gramm-Leach also provides that the list of permissible activities will be expanded as necessary for a financial holding company to keep abreast of competitive and technological change.

 

Although it preserves the Federal Reserve as the umbrella supervisor of financial holding companies, Gramm-Leach adopts an administrative approach to regulation that defers to the approval and supervisory requirements of the functional regulators of insurers and insurance agents, broker-dealers, investment companies, and banks. Thus, the various state and federal regulators of a financial holding company’s operating subsidiaries would retain their jurisdiction and authority over the operating entities. As the umbrella supervisor, however, the Federal Reserve has the potential to affect the operations and activities of financial holding companies’ subsidiaries through its power over the financial holding company parent. In addition, Gramm-Leach contains numerous trigger points related to legal noncompliance and other serious problems affecting bank affiliates that could lead to direct Federal Reserve involvement and to the possible exercise of remedial authority affecting both financial holding companies and their affiliated operating companies.

 

By authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, Texas Regional in May 2000 filed a Declaration Electing to be a Financial Holding Company with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. The Declaration became effective in June 2000.

 

The BHCA imposes certain limitations on extensions of credit and other transactions by and between banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System and other banks and non-bank companies in the same holding company. Under the BHCA and the FRB’s regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

 

The Company, as an affiliate of the Bank, is subject to certain restrictions regarding transactions between a bank and companies with which it is affiliated. These provisions limit extensions of credit (including guarantees of loans) by the Bank to affiliates, investments in the stock or other securities of the Company by the Bank, and the nature and amount of collateral that the Bank may accept from any affiliate to secure loans extended to the affiliate.

 

REGULATION OF THE BANK

 

The Bank is a state-chartered bank subject to regulation by the Texas Department of Banking. The Bank, whose deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (the “BIF”) of the FDIC, is also a member of the Federal Reserve System, and therefore the FRB is the primary federal regulator for the Bank.

 

The requirements and restrictions applicable to the Bank under laws of the United States and the State of Texas include (i) the requirement that reserves be maintained, (ii) restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which can be made, (iii) restrictions on the business activities in which the Bank may engage, (iv) restrictions on the payment of dividends to shareholders, and (v) the maintenance of minimum capital requirements.

 

The Company is dependent upon dividends received from the Bank for discharge of the Company’s obligations and for payment of dividends to the Company’s shareholders. However, the application of minimum capital requirements and other rules and regulations applicable to the Bank restrict the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. The

 

4



 

Texas Banking Department and the FRB can each further limit payment of dividends if the regulatory authority finds that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

 

The laws of the State of Texas also govern interest rate limitations for the Bank. The maximum annual interest rate that may be charged on most loans made by the Bank is based on doubling the average auction rate, to the nearest 0.25%, for United States Treasury Bills, as computed by the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner of the State of Texas. However, the maximum rate does not decline below 18% or rise above 24% (except for loans in excess of $250,000 that are made for business, commercial, investment or other similar purposes (excluding agricultural loans), in which case the maximum annual rate may not rise above 28%, rather than 24%). On fixed rate closed-end loans, the maximum non-usurious rate is to be determined at the time the rate is contracted; while on floating rate and open-end loans (such as credit cards), the rate varies over the term of the indebtedness. Federal law has preempted state usury laws (but not late charge limitations) for loans secured by a first lien on residential real property.

 

Banks are affected by the credit policies of other monetary authorities, including the FRB, which regulate the national supply of bank credit. Such regulation influences overall growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

 

FDICIA

 

FDICIA requires that federal bank regulatory authorities take “prompt corrective action” with respect to any depository institution that does not meet specified minimum capital requirements. The applicable regulations establish five capital levels which require or permit the FRB and other regulatory authorities to take supervisory action. The relevant classifications range from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized”. Under these regulations, an institution is considered “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and it is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An institution is considered “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater and a leverage capital ratio of 3.0% or greater (if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines), and the institution does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized” institution. An institution is considered “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of examination, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines). A “significantly undercapitalized” institution is one which has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%. A “critically undercapitalized” institution is one that has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

 

With certain exceptions, an institution will be prohibited from making capital distributions or paying management fees if the payment of such distributions or fees will cause the institution to become “undercapitalized”. Furthermore, “undercapitalized” institutions will be required to file capital restoration plans with the appropriate federal regulator. Pursuant to FDICIA, “undercapitalized” institutions also will be subject to restrictions on growth, acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business unless they have an approved capital plan that permits otherwise. The FRB also may, among other things, require an “undercapitalized” institution to issue shares or obligations, which could be voting stock, to recapitalize the institution or, under certain circumstances, to divest itself of any subsidiary.

 

The FRB is authorized to take various enforcement actions against any “significantly undercapitalized” institution and any “undercapitalized institution” that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the appropriate agency. These powers include, among other things, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company which controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring a new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. If imposed, these restrictions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant adverse impact on the operations of the Bank.

 

“Critically undercapitalized” institutions may be subject to more extensive control and supervision and the FRB may prohibit any “critically undercapitalized” institution from, among other things, entering into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending its charter or bylaws, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, “critically undercapitalized” institutions generally will be prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt. Within 90 days of an institution becoming “critically undercapitalized”, the FRB must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with respect to the prospect for the institution’s continued operation.

 

Management believes that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject at December 31, 2002. The Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum requirements for “well capitalized” institutions under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action at December 31, 2002. As a result, the Company does not believe that FDICIA’s prompt corrective action regulations will have any material effect on the activities or operations of the Bank.  It should be noted,

 

5



 

however, that a bank’s capital category is determined solely for the purpose of applying the FDICIA’s prompt corrective action regulations and that the capital category may not constitute an accurate representation of the Bank’s overall financial condition or prospects.

 

FDICIA also requires the FDIC to establish a schedule to increase (over a period of not more than 15 years) the reserve ratio of the BIF, which insures deposits of Texas State Bank, to 1.25% of insured deposits, and impose higher deposit insurance premiums on BIF members, if necessary, to achieve that ratio. FDICIA also requires a risk-based assessment system for deposit insurance premiums commencing January 1, 1994. Since BIF reached its designated reserve ratio in mid-1995, the FDIC adjusted the BIF assessments, so that the assessment rate now in effect ranges from a minimum of zero to a maximum of $0.27 per $100 of deposits.

 

FDICIA contains numerous other provisions, including accounting, auditing and reporting requirements, the termination of the “too big to fail” doctrine except in special cases, regulatory standards in areas such as asset quality, earnings and compensation, and revised regulatory standards for the powers of state chartered banks, real estate lending, bank closures and capital adequacy.

 

DEPOSIT INSURANCE

 

The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the “Funds Act”) was enacted on September 30, 1996. Among its provisions, the Funds Act authorizes the Financing Corporation (the “FICO”) to impose periodic assessments on depository institutions that are members of BIF in addition to institutions that are members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the “SAIF”) in order to spread the cost of the interest payments on the outstanding FICO bonds over a larger number of institutions. Until this change in the law, only SAIF-member institutions bore the cost of funding these interest payments.  Thus, BIF-member institutions will share in the cost of financing outstanding FICO bonds.  An institution’s FICO assessments will fluctuate based on a defined rate applied to deposits held in periods after the date the legislation was enacted.  Currently, the FICO BIF annual rate is 1.68 cents for each $100 of qualified deposits.

 

ACQUISITIONS

 

Absent an election to become a financial holding company, the BHCA limits acquisitions by the Company to commercial banks and companies engaged in activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The Company’s direct activities are generally limited to furnishing to its subsidiaries services that qualify under the prescribed regulatory tests. Prior Federal Reserve Board approval is required under the BHCA for new activities and acquisitions of most nonbanking companies.

 

The BHCA, the Federal Bank Merger Act and the Texas Banking Code regulate the acquisition of commercial banks. The BHCA requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for the direct or indirect acquisition of more than five percent of the voting shares of a commercial bank or bank holding company. With respect to the Company’s subsidiary bank, the approval of the Texas Department of Banking is required for branching, purchasing the assets of other banks and for bank mergers.

 

In reviewing bank acquisition and merger applications, the bank regulatory authorities will consider, among other things, the competitive effect and public benefits of the transactions, the capital position of the combined organization, and the applicant’s record under the Community Reinvestment Act and fair housing laws.

 

The Corporation regularly evaluates acquisition opportunities and regularly conducts due diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases negotiations, regularly take place and future acquisitions could occur.

 

INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING LEGISLATION

 

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (“IBBEA”) authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation beginning one year after enactment. In addition, beginning June 1, 1997 IBBEA authorizes a bank to merge with a bank in another state as long as neither of the states has opted out of interstate branching between the date of enactment of IBBEA and May 31, 1997. IBBEA further provides that states may enact laws permitting interstate bank merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997. A bank may establish a de novo branch in a state in which the bank does not maintain a branch if the state expressly permits de novo branching. Once a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where any bank involved in the merger transaction could have established or acquired branches under applicable federal or state law. A bank that has established a branch in a state through de novo branching may establish and acquire additional branches in such state in the same manner and to the same extent as a bank having a branch in such state as a result of an interstate merger. If a state opts out of interstate branching within the specified time period, no bank in any other state may establish a branch in the opting out state, whether through an acquisition or de novo.

 

6



 

Texas enacted legislation opting out of interstate branching in 1995. However, the decision to opt out was rendered ineffective with the 1998 decision of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas affirming the Comptroller of the Currency’s decision to permit an interstate merger involving a Texas national bank. The Texas Legislature responded in 1999 by passing The Interstate Banking and Branching Bill, which became effective September 1, 1999. This legislation provides a framework for interstate branching in Texas, providing for de novo branching by banks headquartered in states offering reciprocity to Texas institutions or institutions authorized to branch in Texas. For banks in other, non-reciprocal states, a five-year minimum age requirement is retained. The legislation also clarifies other provisions of Texas law related to interstate banks operating in Texas, and includes a “super parity” provision which provides a framework for a bank chartered in Texas, upon application, to conduct any of the activities allowed any other state or federal financial institution in the nation.

 

BROKER-DEALER LICENSING REQUIREMENTS

 

Texas State Bank’s subsidiary, TSB Securities, Inc. a broker-dealer registered with and licensed by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) and the Texas State Securities Board, is subject to reporting requirements and regulatory controls imposed by the NASD and the State Securities Board.

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

The earnings of the Bank are affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities. The FRB regulates the supply of credit in order to influence general economic conditions, primarily through open market operations in United States government obligations, varying the discount rate of financial institution borrowings and varying reserve requirements against financial institutions and their subsidiaries. The deregulation of interest rates has had and is expected to continue to have an impact on the competitive environment in which the Bank operates.

 

Governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. However, the Company cannot accurately predict the nature or extent of any effect that such policies may have on its future business and earnings.

 

PERSONNEL

 

The Company employed 1,155 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2002. Employees enjoy a variety of employee benefit programs, including an employee stock ownership plan with 401(k) provisions, medical, accident, group life and long-term disability plans, and paid vacations. The Company’s employees are not unionized, and management believes employee relations to be favorable.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

The executive offices of the Company, as well as the principal banking quarters of Texas State Bank, are housed in an eleven-story office tower located in McAllen, Texas. This building, completed during 1998, also includes space for lease to third party tenants and for future growth. The Company also owns the Kerria Plaza building, adjacent to the headquarters building, and leases space to third party tenants.

 

All of the Company’s banking locations are owned, except for the branch in Roma, Texas. The Brownsville, Edinburg, Harlingen, Hidalgo, McAllen, Mission, Penitas,Weslaco, San Juan, Progreso, and Houston, Texas banking locations include extensive drive-through facilities.

 

Management believes that it will be desirable in the future to consider the establishment of additional banking locations.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is involved in routine litigation in the normal course of its business, which in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, or results of operations of the Company.

(1)      Restated to retroactively give effect for the three-for-two stock split declared and distributed by Texas Regional during second quarter 2002, effected as a 50% stock dividend.

(2)      Represents previously reported net income and net income per common share, adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization, net of tax.  Beginning in 2002, new accounting standards eliminated the amortization of goodwill.

(3)      For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities issued by state and local governments or authorities, is adjusted by an increment that equates tax-exempt income to income from taxable assets (assuming 35% federal income tax rate).  Income on a tax-equivalent basis is not considered GAAP.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors: significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking industry; changes in the interest rate environment reducing margins; general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and an increase in the provision for possible loan losses; changes in the regulatory environment; changes in business conditions; volatility of rate sensitive deposits; operational risks including data processing system failures or fraud; asset/liability matching risks and liquidity risks; and changes in the securities markets.

 

The following discussion addresses information pertaining to the financial condition and results of operations of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) that may not be otherwise apparent from a review of the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. It should be read in conjunction with those statements, as well as with the other information presented throughout the report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and other sections contained in this Annual Report include certain forward-looking statements regarding events and trends which may affect the Company’s future results. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those described in this discussion and analysis.

OVERVIEW

 

Total assets at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $3,835,187,000, $2,590,812,000 and $2,426,097,000, respectively. Total deposits at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $3,132,191,000, $2,235,877,000, and $2,109,748,000, respectively, with deposit growth in each period resulting from internal growth and acquisitions. Loans held for investment were $2,267,530,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $557,529,000 or 32.6% from $1,710,001,000 at the end of 2001. Loans held for investment were $1,587,827,000 at year end 2000. Shareholders’ equity was $377,455,000, $265,259,000, and $227,704,000 at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

Net income was $53,847,000, $39,422,000 and $35,302,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and diluted earnings per share were $2.05, $1.62, and $1.46 for these same periods. Earnings growth from 2001 to 2002 resulted principally from an increase in income generated from loan and investment security growth. In addition, although average deposits increased from prior year, interest paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased due to a decline in average rates. The Company posted returns on average assets of 1.58%, 1.58% and 1.56% and returns on average equity of 16.05%, 15.75% and 17.43% for the years ended 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 45.88% in 2002, 45.76% in 2001 and 45.37% in 2000. The efficiency ratio is defined as Noninterest Expense (excluding other real estate income and expense) divided by the total of Net Interest Income and Noninterest Income (excluding any gains and losses on sale of securities).

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company offers a broad range of commercial banking services to individuals and businesses in its service area. It also acts as a correspondent to a number of banks in its service area, providing check clearing, wire transfer, federal funds transactions, loan participations and other correspondent services. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held on any day is significantly influenced by temporary changes in cash items in process of collection. The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $138,539,000 at December 31, 2002. By comparison, the Company had $95,702,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2001, an increase of $42,837,000 or 44.8%.

 

SECURITIES

 

Securities consist of U.S. Treasury, federal agency, mortgage-backed and state, county and municipal securities. The Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available for sale. At each reporting date, management reassesses the appropriateness of the classification. Investments in debt securities are classified as held to maturity and measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet 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 consolidated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Securities not classified as either held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes, until realized.

 

At December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, no securities were classified as trading. The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

All investments in states and political subdivisions are investments in entities within the State of Texas. No single issuer accounted for as much as 10.0% of total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2002. Of the obligations of states and political subdivisions held by the Company at December 31, 2002, 73.2% were rated A or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. and 65.1% of the non-rated issues or $12,907,000 are local issues purchased in private placement transactions.

 

LOANS

 

The Company manages its credit risk by establishing and implementing strategies and guidelines appropriate to the characteristics of borrowers, industries, geographic locations and risk products. Diversification of risk within each of these areas is a primary objective. Policies and procedures are developed to ensure that loan commitments conform to current strategies and guidelines. Management continually refines the Company’s credit policies and procedures to address the risks in the current and prospective environment and to reflect management’s current strategic focus. The credit process is controlled with continuous credit review and analysis, and review by internal and external auditors and regulatory authorities. The Company’s loans are widely diversified by borrower and industry group.

 

The Company has collateral management policies in place so that collateral lending of all types is approached on a basis consistent with safe and sound standards. Valuation analysis is utilized to take into consideration the potentially adverse economic conditions under which liquidation could occur. Collateral accepted against the commercial loan portfolio includes accounts receivable and inventory, marketable securities, equipment, agricultural products and real estate. Autos, deeds of trust, life insurance and marketable securities are accepted as collateral for the installment loan portfolio.

 

Management of the Company believes that the Company has benefited from increased loan demand due to passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the strong population growth in the Rio Grande Valley. The effects of NAFTA have also increased cross-border trade and industrial development including activity at twin manufacturing plants located on each side of the border (referred to as maquiladoras) which benefit the Rio Grande Valley economy. Management believes that NAFTA will continue to have a positive impact on the Company’s growth and earnings prospects.

 

The majority of the Company’s loans are loans held for investment except for certain mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market. Loans held for sale represent 2.4% of total loans.

 

The extension of credits denominated in a currency other than that of the country in which a borrower is located are called “cross-border” credits. The Company has some dollar-denominated cross-border credits to individuals or companies that are residents of, or domiciled in, Mexico. The Company’s total cross-border credits at December 31, 2002 of $3,245,000 represented 0.1% of total loans held for investment. See “Nonperforming Assets” for additional information on cross-border credits.

 

Total loans held for investment of $2,267,530,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased $557,529,000 or 32.6% compared to the year ended December 31, 2001 levels of $1,710,001,000. Loans held for investment increased $122,174,000 or 7.7% for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to levels of $1,587,827,000 at December 31, 2000. The increase in total loans held for investment for the year ended December 31, 2002 is primarily attributable to $370,056,000 in loans held for investment obtained through the Riverway and San Juan acquisitions. In 2002, internal growth in the loans held for investment portfolio was 11.0%. The increase in total loans held for investment for the year ended December 31, 2002 reflects growth in all loan categories.

The Company’s policy on maturity extensions and rollovers is based on management’s assessment of individual loans. Approvals for the extension or renewal of loans without reduction of principal for more than one twelve-month period are generally avoided, unless the loans are fully secured and properly margined by cash or marketable securities, or are revolving lines subject to annual analysis and renewal.

 

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

 

The Company has several procedures in place to assist in maintaining the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Bank has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its officers and monitors its delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends.

 

15



 

Nonperforming assets consist of loans and other assets, primarily real estate, acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations. Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status or that have been restructured. The Company’s policy generally is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when payment of principal or interest is contractually past due 90 days, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal and interest. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but uncollected is reversed and charged against current income unless the collateral provides more than adequate margin to ensure collection of that interest. A restructured loan is generally a loan that is accruing interest, but on which concessions in terms have been made as a result of deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition. The Company’s classification of nonperforming loans includes those loans for which management believes collection is doubtful. Management is not aware of any specific borrower relationships that are not reported as nonperforming where management has doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which would cause nonperforming assets to increase materially.

 

Nonperforming assets of $25,410,000 at December 31, 2002 increased $3,580,000 or 16.4% compared to December 31, 2001 levels of $21,830,000. Nonperforming assets decreased as a percentage of total assets from 0.84% at December 31, 2001 to 0.66% at December 31, 2002. During 2001, nonperforming assets increased $4,616,000 or 26.8% compared with December 31, 2000 levels of $17,214,000.

 

Nonaccrual loans of $14,800,000 at December 31, 2002 was comparable to December 31, 2001 levels of $14,034,000, increasing by only $766,000 or 5.5%. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2001 increased $5,035,000 or 56.0% compared with December 31, 2000 levels of $8,999,000. The increase in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000 resulted primarily from the addition of $8,238,000 in loans previously on accrual status and the addition of $2,773,000 previously in restructured loans. Two loan relationships totaling $5,456,000 accounted for the majority of the amount transferred from accrual status. This increase was partially offset by $2,611,000 of loans on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2000 transferred to foreclosed assets, $2,078,000 in payment reductions and $993,000 in nonaccrual loans charged off. Cross-border nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2002 was $0 compared to $1,666,000 at December 31, 2001. The decrease in cross-border nonaccrual loans was the result of one loan relationship totaling $1,666,000 that was charged off during 2002.

 

Nonperforming loans of $14,800,000 at December 31, 2002 was comparable to December 31, 2001 levels of $14,034,000, increasing by only $766,000 or 5.5%. Nonperforming loans of $14,034,000 at December 31, 2001 increased $1,553,000 or 12.4% compared with December 31, 2000 levels of $12,481,000.

 

There were no restructured loans at December 31, 2002 or December 31, 2001. Restructured loans decreased to $0 at December 31, 2001 from $3,482,000 at December 31, 2000 resulting from the transfer of $2,773,000 to nonaccrual status and $825,000 charged off during 2001.

 

Foreclosed and other assets increased by $2,814,000 or 36.1% to $10,610,000 at December 31, 2002 compared to $7,796,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in foreclosed assets during 2002 was primarily attributable to the addition of several foreclosed properties totaling $2,620,000 from three loan relationships. Management actively seeks buyers for all Other Real Estate. See “Noninterest Expense” below.

 

Loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more, which are both well secured or guaranteed by financially responsible third parties and in the process of collection, generally are not placed on nonaccrual status. The amount of such loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 that are not classified as nonaccrual totaled $4,411,000, $12,164,000 and $4,022,000, respectively. The decrease in accruing loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001 was primarily a result of three large credits totaling $7,185,000 that were either current or paid off as of December 31, 2002. The ratio of nonperforming assets plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due as a percent of loans held for investment and foreclosed assets at December 31, 2002 decreased to 1.31% from 1.98% at December 31, 2001 primarily as a result of the decrease in loans 90 days and still accruing.

Management regularly reviews and monitors the loan portfolio to identify borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Management believes that, at December 31, 2002, all such loans had been identified and included in the nonaccrual, renegotiated or 90 days or more past due loan totals reflected in the table above. Management continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of nonperforming assets and returning nonperforming assets to an earning status.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

 

Management analyzes the loan portfolio to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision required to maintain an adequate allowance. Estimating the allowance is a critical accounting policy. It is subjective in nature and requires material estimates that may be subject to revision as facts and circumstances warrant. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management reviews the size, quality and risks of loans in the portfolio and considers factors such as specific known risks, past experience, the status and amount of nonperforming assets and economic conditions. A specific percentage is allocated to total loans held for investment in good standing and not specifically reserved while additional amounts are added for individual loans considered to have specific loss potential. Loans identified as losses are charged off. In addition, the loan review committee of the Bank reviews the assessments of management in determining the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. Based on total allocations, the provision is recorded to maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management based on probable losses in the loan portfolio. There can be no assurance that future additions to the allowance will not be necessary.

 

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 totaled $28,116,000, representing a net increase of $7,066,000 or 33.6% compared to $21,050,000 at December 31, 2001. The allowance for loan loss balance obtained through the Riverway and San Juan acquisitions, during first and fourth quarter 2002, respectively, accounted for $4,732,000 of the increase. The remaining increase of $2,334,000 or 11.1% from 2001 is comparable with internal growth in the loans held for investment portfolio of 11.0%. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 adequately reflects the probable losses in the loan portfolio. State and federal bank regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The increase is attributable to $4,245,000 in goodwill added with the Riverway acquisition. Goodwill of $24,256,000 at December 31, 2001 decreased $2,295,000 or 8.6% compared to $26,551,000 at December 31, 2000. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142 (“Statement 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002.

 

Identifiable intangibles of $18,454,000 at December 31, 2002 increased $6,712,000 or 57.2% compared to $11,742,000 at December 31, 2001. Identifiable intangibles increased primarily as a result of $9,268,000 in core deposit intangibles added with the Riverway and San Juan acquisitions. Core deposit intangibles added with the 2002 acquisitions are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years. In addition, $849,000 was added in data processing intangibles as a result of the Grapevine data operations center acquisition during first quarter 2002. The increases were offset by amortization of $3,405,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Identifiable intangibles of $11,742,000 at December 31, 2001 decreased $2,105,000 or 15.2% compared to $13,847,000 at December 31, 2000. The decrease in 2001 resulted from amortization of existing intangibles.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

NET INCOME

 

Net income was $53,847,000 in 2002, compared to $39,422,000 in 2001 and $35,302,000 in 2000. The increase in net income in 2002 from 2001 by $14,425,000 or 36.6% was primarily due to an increase in interest-earning assets and service charge income. Earnings per diluted common share were $2.05, $1.62 and $1.46 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Return on assets averaged 1.58%, 1.58% and 1.56%, while return on shareholders’ equity averaged 16.05%, 15.75% and 17.43% for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, reported on a tax-equivalent basis, and the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. Comparing net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis is standard practice in the financial services industry. Average balances are derived from average daily balances and the yields and costs are established by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the asset or liability. Income and yield on interest-earning assets include amounts to convert tax-exempt income to a taxable-equivalent basis, assuming a 35% effective tax rate for 2002, 2001 and 2000:

(1)          For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, primarily securities issued by state and local governments or authorities, is adjusted by an increment that equates tax-exempt income to income from taxable assets (assuming a 35% tax rate). Income on a tax-equivalent basis is not considered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

Net interest income, reported on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $30,636,000 or 30.2% to $131,921,000 in 2002, compared to $101,285,000 in 2001. The increase in net interest income was largely due to growth of 37.9% in average interest-earning assets, which rose to $3,146,052,000 in 2002 compared to $2,281,508,000 in 2001. The increase in average interest-earning assets resulted from continued emphasis on loan growth, as well as the Riverway and San Juan acquisitions during first

 

22



 

and fourth quarter 2002, respectively. Although average interest-earning assets increased substantially, the growth in interest income was only 10.2% as a result of interest rate reductions driven by the Federal Reserve monetary policy during 2001. Loan yield for 2002 decreased as a result of a decrease in the average prime rate from 6.91% in 2001 to 4.68% in 2002. In addition, the decrease in securities yield in 2002 compared to 2001 resulted from the sale or maturity of higher yielding securities and the reinvesting of the proceeds into lower yielding securities. The decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2002 was primarily attributable to the general decrease in average short-term interest rates. The net interest margin decreased to 4.19% in 2002 compared to 4.44% in 2001.

 

Tax-equivalent net interest income was $101,285,000 for 2001, an increase of $4,536,000 or 4.7% compared to 2000. The increase in net interest income was largely due to growth of 11.2% in average interest-earning assets, which rose to $2,281,508,000 in 2001 compared to $2,052,573,000 in 2000. However, the increase was partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets resulting from decreases in market rates. Loan yield for 2001 decreased as a result of a decrease in the average prime rate from 9.24% in 2000 to 6.91% in 2001. In addition, the decrease in securities yield in 2001 compared to 2000 resulted from higher yielding securities maturing and the reinvesting of the proceeds into lower yielding securities. The decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2001 was primarily attributable to the general decrease in average short-term interest rates and increased competition from local financial institutions. The net interest margin decreased to 4.44% in 2001 compared to 4.71% in 2000.

 

The net interest income and the yield on earning assets were reduced by interest foregone on impaired loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued at the original contractual rates, additional interest income would have totaled $1,752,000, $2,582,000 and $1,285,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The amount of interest income on impaired loans included in net income for cash payments received was $371,000 in 2002, $241,000 in 2001 and $490,000 in 2000.

 

The following table presents the effects of changes in volume, rate and rate/volume on interest income and interest expense for major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Nonaccrual loans are included in assets, thereby reducing yields (see “Nonperforming Assets”). The allocation of the rate/volume variance has been made pro-rata on the percentage that volume and rate variances produce in each category. An analysis of changes in net interest income follows:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

 

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $12,331,000 for 2002, compared to $8,667,000 for 2001 and $8,927,000 for 2000. The increase in the provision is primarily attributable to our continual review of the adequacy of our loan

loss allowance and growth in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs totaled $9,997,000 and $7,075,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively, and increased to 0.48% of average loans held for investment in 2002 compared to 0.43% of average loans held for investment in 2001. The increase in net charge-offs in 2002 is primarily attributable to $3,153,000 charged off on a loan relationship. Net charge-offs were $6,180,000 or 0.42% of average loans held for investment in 2000. The increase in net  charge-offs in 2001 is primarily attributable to a $410,000 recovery received in 2000 on an agricultural loan charged off in 1998.

 

Management charges provisions for loan losses to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate based on estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. Management bases its decision on many factors which include historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets, regulatory policies, generally accepted accounting principles, and general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s lending area. For additional information on charge-offs and recoveries and the aggregate provision for loan losses, see the “Allowance for Loan Losses - Critical Accounting Policy” section of this Report.

 

NONINTEREST INCOME

 

Noninterest Income totaled $40,003,000 for 2002 compared to $29,213,000 for 2001 and $21,574,000 for 2000. Excluding Net Realized Gains on Sales of Securities Available for Sale, Noninterest Income increased $7,501,000 or 27.1% in 2002 compared to 2001 and $6,155,000 or 28.5% in 2001 compared to 2000. The Noninterest Income growth in 2002 resulted primarily from an increase in total service charges and data processing fees.

 

Total Service Charges were $25,640,000 for 2002 compared to $20,472,000 for 2001 and $14,796,000 for 2000. The increase in Total Service Charges in 2002 by $5,168,000 or 25.2% compared to 2001 primarily due an increase in deposits primarily resulting from acquisitions and an increase of $3,266,000 in non-sufficient check and return item charges. The increase in Total Service Charges during 2001 by $5,676,000 or 38.4% is attributable to a $4,919,000 increase in non-sufficient check and return item charges. The increase in non-sufficient check and return item charges was a result of deposit growth and the introduction of two new products in 2001. In June 2001, the Company launched its Free Checking program, which allows credit worthy depositors a $400 overdraft privilege after satisfying certain conditions and its Overdraft Privilege program which allows credit worthy account holders, except Free Checking account holders, a $700 overdraft privilege. Although the account holders are still subject to non-sufficient check charges, they avoid additional charges from the retailer.

 

Trust Service Fees were $2,730,000 for 2002 compared to $2,494,000 for 2001 and $2,301,000 for 2000. The increase in Trust Service Fees during 2002 by $236,000 or 9.5% is attributable to an increase in the average market value of trust accounts managed by 16.7%. The fair market value of assets managed was $491,087,000 at December 31, 2002 compared to $441,000,000 at December 31, 2001. In addition, the Trust Service Fees increased by $193,000 or 8.4% in 2001 compared to 2000 primarily due to an increase in the average market value of trust accounts managed by 9.5%. The fair market value of assets managed at December 31, 2000 was $384,582,000. Assets held by the trust department of the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities are not assets of the Company and are not included in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Net Realized Gains on Sales of Securities Available for Sale were $4,785,000 for 2002 compared to $1,496,000 for 2001 and $12,000 for 2000. During 2002, bond prices generally rose and the Company sold various securities that had unrealized gains and were likely to be called during the latter half of 2002 and the first half of 2003. The Company sold various securities in 2001 that had unrealized gains and were likely to be called during the latter half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. Market opportunities to realize bond profits were limited during 2000 as bond prices generally fell.

 

Data Processing Service Fees of $6,404,000 for 2002 increased $3,210,000 or 100.5% compared to $3,194,000 for 2001. Data processing fees increased due to the acquisition of the Grapevine data processing center and related data processing contracts during first quarter 2002. Data Processing Service Fees of $3,194,000 in 2001 increased by $518,000 or 19.4% compared to $2,676,000 in 2000 primarily due to the recognition of a full year’s income on a banking client obtained during May 2000 and increased utilization of services offered to existing clients. The number of data processing clients as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was 25, 8, and 8, respectively.

 

Loan Servicing Loss, Net totaled ($1,673,000) for 2002. The mortgage servicing activity was acquired with the Riverway acquisition during first quarter 2002. Although servicing fees totaled $2,305,000 in 2002, amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $2,488,000 and an addition to the valuation allowance of mortgage servicing rights of $1,683,000 resulted in a net loss in 2002. Amortization in excess of servicing fees was the result of faster than expected prepayment on the serviced mortgage loan portfolio. The balance of unamortized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2002 was $16,947,000.

 

Other Noninterest Income of $2,117,000 for 2002 increased $560,000 or 36.0% compared to $1,557,000 reported for 2001. The increase in Other Noninterest Income during 2002 was primarily due to a $663,000 gain recognized on sale of loans held for sale. This was partially offset by a $340,000 loss recognized on the disposal of obsolete computer equipment during second quarter 2002. In addition, the Company received a $100,000 sign up bonus in 2002 for changing the company used for customer check orders. Other Noninterest Income in 2001 of $1,557,000 decreased $232,000 or 13.0% compared to $1,789,000 reported for 2000. The decrease in Other Noninterest Income during 2001 was primarily due to a decrease in income from the

Rabbi Trust by $250,000 compared to 2000. The Rabbi Trust was set up to provide funding for the Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of Glen E. Roney, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest Expense of $76,159,000 for 2002 increased $16,815,000 or 28.3% compared to $59,344,000 for 2001. Noninterest Expense for 2001 increased $5,800,000 or 10.8% compared to $53,544,000 for 2000. The increase in 2002 results primarily from higher personnel costs. The efficiency ratio of expense to total revenue was 45.88% compared to 45.76% for 2001 and 45.37% for 2000. The efficiency ratio is defined as Noninterest Expense (excluding other real estate income and expense) divided by the total of Net Interest Income and Noninterest Income (excluding any gains and losses on sale of securities).

 

Salaries and Employee Benefits, the largest category of Noninterest Expense, were $37,993,000 in 2002, $27,933,000 in 2001 and $26,636,000 in 2000. The increase in 2002 over 2001 by $10,060,000 or 36.0% reflects increases in base salaries and higher levels of staff, including staff acquired as a result of the Riverway, San Juan, and Grapevine acquisitions. The number of average full-time equivalent employees increased by 14.9% in 2002 from 2001. Officer bonuses also increased from $422,000 in 2001 to $861,000 in 2002. In addition, in May 2002 the Company began paying 100% of non-officer employee’s medical insurance, up from 50% paid in prior periods. This contributed to medical insurance premiums increasing by $2,110,000 or 87.8% compared to the previous year. The increase in 2001 over 2000 by $1,297,000 or 4.9% reflects increases in base salaries and higher levels of staff. In addition, premiums on medical insurance increased by $459,000 or 23.6% in 2001 compared to 2000 primarily resulting from an increase in rates offered by the insurance provider. At the end of 2002, the Company had approximately 1,155 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 950 at year end 2001 and 935 at year end 2000. Salaries and Employee Benefits averaged 1.11% of average assets in 2002 compared to 1.12% in 2001 and 1.18% in 2000.

 

Net Occupancy Expense of $5,447,000 for 2002 increased $1,089,000 or 25.0% compared to $4,358,000 in 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to occupancy expenses incurred at the Houston and Grapevine locations acquired during first quarter 2002. Net Occupancy Expense of $4,358,000 for 2001 increased $392,000 or 9.9% compared to $3,966,000 in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in real estate property taxes and utility expenses. The increase in real estate property taxes is largely due to increases in appraised values on the corporate building and one branch location.

 

Equipment Expense of $8,640,000 for 2002 increased $2,075,000 or 31.6% compared to $6,565,000 for 2001. The increase in 2002 compared to 2001 was primarily due to an increase of $1,109,000 or 29.5% in depreciation expense on furniture, fixtures and equipment resulting from a 40.4% increase in the related asset accounts. In addition, equipment service contract expenses increased by $586,000 or 36.1%. During 2001, Equipment Expense increased $438,000 or 7.1% compared to $6,127,000 for 2000. The increase in 2001 compared to 2000 was primarily due to an increase of $391,000 in equipment service contract expenses.

 

Other Real Estate Expense, Net, includes rental income from foreclosed properties, gain or loss on sale of other real estate properties and direct expenses of foreclosed real estate including property taxes, maintenance costs and write-downs.  Write-downs of other real estate are required if the fair value of an asset acquired in a loan foreclosure subsequently declines below its carrying value. Other Real Estate Expense, Net was $491,000 in 2002, decreasing by $622,000 or 55.9% compared to $1,113,000 for 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $542,000 decrease in expenses on a foreclosed property compared to the previous year. Other Real Estate Expense, Net of $1,113,000 for 2001 increased $463,000 or 71.2% comparable to $650,000 reported for 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to a $559,000 increase in expenses on a foreclosed property compared to the previous year. This was partially offset by a $326,000 writedown on a foreclosed property recorded in 2000. No large writedowns were recorded in 2001. Management is actively seeking buyers for all Other Real Estate.

 

Amortization of Goodwill was $0 for 2002 compared to $2,294,000 recorded for 2001. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 142 as of January 1, 2002 and no longer amortizes goodwill. Amortization of Goodwill of $2,294,000 for 2001 was comparable to $2,295,000 recorded for 2000.

 

Amortization of Identifiable Intangibles of $3,432,000 for 2002 increased $1,298,000 or 60.8% compared to $2,134,000 recorded for 2001.  The increase is a result of amortization of $1,421,000 on intangibles added with the Riverway, San Juan and Grapevine acquisitions. Amortization of Identifiable Intangibles of $2,134,000 in 2001 was comparable to $2,174,000 reported in 2000, decreasing by only $40,000 or 1.8%.

 

Other Noninterest Expense of $20,156,000 for 2002 increased by $5,209,000 or 34.8% compared to $14,947,000 for 2001. The increase for 2002 over 2001 was primarily attributable to an increased volume of business, primarily due to the 2002 acquisitions. Other Noninterest Expense of $14,947,000 for 2001 increased by $3,251,000 or 27.8% compared to $11,696,000 reported for 2000. The increase is primarily due to a $1.8 million judgement collected during 2000. In addition, Franchise Tax for 2001 increased $674,000 to a net expense of $155,000 compared to a net benefit of $519,000 for 2000. The increase was attributable to $221,000 in franchise tax refunds recorded during 2001 for overpayments made in previous years compared to $872,000 in franchise tax refunds in 2000.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $27,385,000 for 2002 compared to $21,306,000 for 2001 and $18,825,000 for 2000. The changes in income tax expense are due primarily to changes in the level of pretax income. Furthermore, during 2001 the Company recorded state income tax refunds totaling $211,000 compared to $613,000 in 2000. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2002 was 34% compared to 35% for 2001 and 2000. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2002 compared to 2001 is due to the Bank no longer amortizing goodwill beginning in 2002, which was nondeductible for income tax purposes.

 

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

 

Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. The guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. On December 31, 2002, the Company exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.77%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.67% and a leverage ratio of 8.89%.

 

Liquidity management assures that adequate funds are available to meet deposit withdrawals, loan demand and maturing liabilities. Insufficient liquidity can result in higher costs of obtaining funds, while excessive liquidity can lead to a decline in earnings due to the cost of foregoing alternative investments. The ability to renew and acquire additional deposit liabilities is a major source of liquidity. The Company’s principal sources of funds are primarily within the local markets of the Bank and consist of deposits, interest and principal payments on loans and securities, sales of loans and securities and borrowings.

 

Cash and assets which are readily marketable, or which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future provide asset liquidity. These include cash, interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, time deposits, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agency and mortgage-backed securities. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s liquidity ratio, defined as cash, U.S. Treasury,

 

26



 

U.S. Government Agency, mortgage-backed securities, interest-bearing deposits, time deposits and federal funds sold as a percentage of deposits, was 38.3% compared to 30.3% at December 31, 2001 and 30.9% at December 31, 2000.

 

Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources, principally various customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts in the Company’s trade area. The Company does not have nor does it solicit brokered deposits. Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity. At December 31, 2002, the Company had lines of credit totaling $40,000,000 with correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs and approximately $178,019,000 available at the Federal Home Loan Bank. These sources of liquidity are short-term in nature, and are used, as necessary, to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit of approximately $313,438,000, commercial letters of credit of $12,624,000, standby letters of credit of $62,806,000, and credit card guarantees of $1,678,000.

 

During 2002, funds for $785,695,000 of securities purchases and $203,084,000 of net growth in the loans held for investment portfolio came from various sources, including $527,685,000 in proceeds from maturing and sold securities, a net increase in deposits of $347,036,000 and $68,599,000 from operating activities.

 

The Company is dependent on dividend and interest income from the Bank and the sale of stock for its liquidity. Applicable Federal Reserve Board regulations provide that bank holding companies are permitted by regulatory authorities to pay cash dividends on their common or preferred stock if consolidated earnings and consolidated capital are within regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2002, an aggregate of $74,547,000 was available for payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company under the applicable limitations and without regulatory approval.

 

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

 

Financial institutions are impacted differently by inflation than are industrial companies. While industrial and manufacturing companies generally have significant investments in inventories and fixed assets, financial institutions ordinarily do not have such investments. As a result, financial institutions are generally in a better position than industrial companies to respond to inflationary trends by monitoring the spread between interest costs and interest income yields through adjustments of maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities. In addition, inflation tends to increase demand for loans from financial institutions as industrial companies attempt to maintain a constant level of goods in inventory and assets. As consumers of goods and services, financial institutions are affected by inflation as prices increase, causing an increase in costs of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy expense and similar items.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

 

The Company considers its Allowance for Loan Losses and related provision for loan losses policy as a policy critical to the sound operations of the Bank. The Company provides for loan losses each period by an amount resulting from both (a) an estimate by management of probable loan losses that occurred during the period and (b) the ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of probable losses occurring in prior periods. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance for loan losses which is netted against loans held for investment on the consolidated balance sheet. As losses are confirmed, the loan is written down, reducing the allowance for loan losses. See “Allowance for Loan Losses - Critical Accounting Policy” and “Provision for Loan Losses — Critical Accounting Policy” contained herein and “Allowance for Loan Losses” included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the Company’s provision and allowance for loan losses policy.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times as interest rates change. For example, if fixed-rate loans are funded with floating-rate deposits, the spread between loan and deposit rates will decline or turn negative if rates increase. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, the Company does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

 

Interest rate risk is managed within the funds management policy of the Company. The principal objectives of the funds management policy are to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to maintain consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. The Board of Directors oversees implementation of strategies to control interest rate risk. The Company may take steps to alter its net sensitivity position by offering deposit and/or loan structures that tend to counter the natural rate risk profile of the Company. Funding positions are kept within predetermined limits designed to ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. Because of the volatility of market rates and uncertainties, there can be no assurance of the effectiveness of management programs to achieve a targeted moderation of risk.

 

In order to measure earnings and fair value sensitivity to changing rates, the Company utilizes three different measurement tools including static gap analysis, simulation earnings, and market value sensitivity (fair value at risk). The primary analytical tool used by the Company to quantify interest rate risk is a simulation model to project changes in net interest income that result from forecast changes in interest rates. This analysis estimates a percentage of change in net interest income from the stable rate scenario under scenarios of rising and falling market interest rates over a twelve month time horizon. The prime rate serves as a “driver” and is made to rise (or fall) evenly in 100 basis point increments over the 12-month forecast interval. These simulations incorporate assumptions regarding balance sheet growth and mix, pricing and the repricing and maturity characteristics of the existing and projected balance sheet.

 

The following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month period as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001:

All the measurements of risk described above are made based upon the Company’s business mix and interest rate exposures at the particular point in time. An immediate 100 basis point decline in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario, used to calibrate risk, and does not necessarily represent management’s current view of future market developments. Because of uncertainties as to the extent of customer behavior, refinance activity, absolute and relative loan and deposit pricing levels, competitor pricing and market behavior, product volumes and mix, and other unexpected changes in economic events impacting

 

28



 

movements and volatility in market rates, there can be no assurance that simulation results are reliable indicators of net interest income under such conditions.

 

The interest rate sensitivity gap represents the dollar amount of difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities within a given time period (“GAP”). A GAP ratio is determined by dividing rate sensitive assets by rate sensitive liabilities. A ratio of 1.0 indicates a perfectly matched position, in which case the effect on net interest income due to interest rate movements would be zero.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141 (“Statement 141”), “Business Combinations”, and Statement No. 142 (“Statement 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria which must be met for intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 141 as of June 30, 2001 and Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 141 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. In accordance with Statement 142, the Company performed a transitional impairment test of goodwill during second quarter 2002 and an annual impairment test during fourth quarter 2002, and will perform an annual impairment thereafter. No transitional impairment losses were recognized or expected.

 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144 (“Statement 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While Statement 144 supercedes Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121 (“Statement 121”), “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of Statement 121, establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be

 

 

29



 

disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation issues not previously addressed by Statement 121. Statement 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion No. 30, (“Opinion No. 30”) “Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”, for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends the reporting to a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business, that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Statement 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted Statement 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2002, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147 (“Statement 147”), “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9.” Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141 and 142. In addition, this Statement amends Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” to include in its scope long-term customer relationship intangible assets of financial institution such as depositor and borrower relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used. The Company adopted Statement 147 on October 1, 2002 and the Statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”.  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  The disclosures required by FIN 45 improve the transparency of the financial statement information about the guarantor’s obligations and liquidity risks related to guarantees issued. This interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 34 (“FIN 34”), “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, which is being superceded. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 148 (“Statement 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Statement 148 amends Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (“Statement 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirement of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for those companies that have elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The adoption of Statement 148 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board directed its staff to prepare a ballot draft of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 149 (“Statement 149”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity”. When issued, Statement 149 will require certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. Currently, the Company classifies trust preferred securities as other borrowed money on the consolidated balance sheets and its related interest cost as interest expense on consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The final Statement 149 is expected to be issued in the first quarter of 2003 and will be effective upon issuance for all contracts created or modified after the date the statement is issued and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Statement 149 will be effected by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for contracts created before the issuance date and still existing at the beginning of that interim period. The adoption of Statement 149 when issued is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

 

The fourth quarter net income for 2002 of $13,918,000 or $0.52 per diluted common share reflected an increase of $3,632,000 or 35.3% compared to $10,286,000 or $0.42 per diluted common share for fourth quarter 2001.

 

Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, of $34,989,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $8,972,000 or 34.5% compared to $26,017,000 for fourth quarter 2001. Average interest-earning assets increased by $1,088,038,000 or 46.5% to $3,428,928,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in average interest-earning assets resulted from continued emphasis on loan growth, as well as the Riverway and San Juan acquisitions during first and fourth quarter 2002, respectively. Although average interest-earning assets increased substantially, the growth in interest income was hampered by interest rate reductions driven by the Federal Reserve monetary policy in 2001. Net interest margin for fourth quarter 2002 was 4.05% compared to 4.41% for fourth quarter 2001.

 

The provision for loan losses charged against earnings in fourth quarter 2002 totaled $3,676,000 compared to $2,958,000 for fourth quarter 2001, reflecting an increase of $718,000 or 24.3%. The increase in the provision is primarily attributable to our continual review of the adequacy of our loan loss allowance and growth in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs of $2,786,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $591,000 or 26.9% compared to $2,195,000 for fourth quarter 2001.

 

Noninterest income of $9,815,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $1,630,000 or 19.9% compared to $8,185,000 for fourth quarter 2001. The majority of the increase is attributable to an increase in net realized gains on sales of securities available for sale.

 

Noninterest expense of $19,931,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $5,088,000 or 34.3% compared to $14,843,000 for fourth quarter 2001, primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and other noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio of expense to total revenue averaged 46.65% for fourth quarter 2002 compared to 42.53% for fourth quarter 2001.

 

The fourth quarter net income for 2002 of $13,918,000 or $0.52 per diluted common share was comparable to $14,262,000 or $0.54 per diluted common share for third quarter 2002, reflecting a decrease of $344,000 or 2.4%. Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, of $34,989,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $1,273,000 or 3.8% compared to $33,716,000 for third quarter 2002, reflecting a continued increase in volume of earning assets. Average earning assets of $3,428,928,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $131,309,000 or 4.0% compared to $3,297,619,000 for third quarter 2002. The fourth quarter 2002 net interest margin of 4.05% compared to 4.06% in third quarter 2002.

 

The provision for loan losses charged against earnings in fourth quarter 2002 of $3,676,000 increased $726,000 or 24.6% compared to $2,950,000 reported for third quarter 2002. The increase in the provision is attributable to our continual review of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance and growth in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs of $2,786,000 for fourth quarter 2002 increased $169,000 or 6.5% compared to net charge-offs of $2,617,000 for third quarter 2002.

 

Noninterest income of $9,815,000 for fourth quarter 2002 decreased $1,512,000 or 13.3% compared to $11,327,000 for third quarter 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable a loan servicing loss of $2,334,000 recorded during fourth quarter 2002. The rapid decline in mortgage rates during the latter half of 2002 resulted in a decline in the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) asset.  Consequently, loan servicing loss of $2,334,000 for the period included accelerated MSR amortization of $2,293,000 during fourth quarter 2002.

 

Noninterest expense of $19,931,000 for fourth quarter 2002 was comparable to $19,502,000 for third quarter 2002, increasing by $429,000 or 2.2%. The efficiency ratio of expense to total revenue averaged 46.65% for fourth quarter 2002 compared to 45.46% for third quarter 2002.

 

The nonperforming loans at December 31, 2002 of $14,800,000 decreased $2,354,000 or 13.7% compared to $17,154,000 at September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to one relationship totaling $990,000 that was charged off, the partial charge off of another loan relationship totaling $736,000, and one relationship with several properties totaling $622,000 transferred to foreclosed assets.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Notes 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in 2002.

TEXAS REGIONAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2001 AND 2000

 

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the “Parent” or “Corporation”) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is headquartered in McAllen, Texas. The Company provides a broad array of customary banking services and operates twenty-nine banking offices, including twenty-eight throughout the Rio Grande Valley and one in metropolitan Houston at December 31, 2002. The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry.

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Texas Regional Delaware, Inc. and Texas State Bank (the “Bank”). The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. The Corporation accounts for investments in the subsidiaries on the equity method in the Parent’s financial statements.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, and valuation of goodwill and other intangibles and their respective analysis of impairment.

 

TRUST ASSETS

 

Assets held by the trust department of the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities are not assets of the Company and are not included in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and investments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase.

 

SECURITIES

 

Securities that management has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as securities held to maturity and are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount using the interest method. Amortization and accretion on mortgage-backed securities are adjusted for prepayments. Securities that may be sold prior to maturity for asset/liability management purposes, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, to changes in prepayment risk, to increase regulatory capital or other similar factors, are classified as securities available for sale and carried at fair value with any adjustments to fair value reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. Securities purchased for trading purposes are held in the trading portfolio at fair value, with changes in fair value included in noninterest income.

 

Interest and dividends on securities, including the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, are reported in interest income on securities using the interest method. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are calculated using the specific identification method.

 

LOANS HELD FOR SALE AND MORTGAGE SERVICING

 

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

 

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets with servicing retained. Capitalized servicing rights are reported as mortgage servicing rights and are amortized

into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing revenues. The Company evaluates the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights for impairment based upon the fair value of those rights. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates, terms and type (fixed or adjustable). Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by discounting the present value of the estimated future net servicing revenues using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved based on management’s best estimate of remaining loan lives. This method of valuation incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in their estimate of future servicing income and expense, including assumptions about prepayments, defaults and interest rates. The amount of impairment is the amount by which the mortgage servicing rights, net of accumulated amortization, exceed their fair value by strata. Impairment for an individual stratum is recognized through a valuation allowance and a charge to current earnings within Loan Servicing Loss, Net.

 

LOANS

 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. The Company recognizes interest income on discounted loans on the sum-of-the-months-digits method, which approximates the interest method. Interest income accrues on the unpaid principal balance of other loans. Interest income includes discounts and premiums amortized using the interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest method).

 

NONACCRUAL LOANS

 

The Company discontinues the accrual of interest on loans at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans must be placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income unless the collateral provides more than adequate margin to ensure collection of that interest. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for a return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period and when the borrower has demonstrated payment performance history.

 

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

 

The Company has established the allowance for loan losses through provisions for loan losses charged against income. The Company charges off portions of loans deemed uncollectible against the allowance for loan losses, and credits subsequent recoveries, if any, to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans that are identified for evaluation is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, or for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value, less selling costs, of the collateral. By the time a loan becomes probable of foreclosure, the Company charges it down to fair value, less estimated cost to sell.

 

Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that are susceptible to significant change including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

 

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 and 2001 adequately reflects the estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgements of information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

FORECLOSED ASSETS

 

Foreclosed assets, which includes other foreclosed assets reported in other assets, include properties acquired through foreclosure in full or partial satisfaction of the related loan.

 

The Company records foreclosed assets initially at the lower of fair value, net of estimated selling costs, or cost, at the date of foreclosure. After foreclosure, the Company carries the assets at the lower of (1) cost or (2) fair value, less estimated costs to sell, based on valuations periodically performed by management. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in noninterest expense.

 

38



 

INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries.

 

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

 

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciable assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. For financial reporting, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method; in computing federal income tax, both the straight-line and accelerated methods are used. Maintenance and repairs which do not extend the life of premises and equipment are charged to noninterest expense.

 

GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets associated with acquisition transactions. Through 2001, the Company amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over 15 years and identifiable intangibles on a straight-line basis over their estimated periods of benefit. In addition, the Company reviewed its intangible assets periodically for other-than-temporary impairment. If such impairment was indicated, recoverability of the asset was assessed based on expected undiscounted net cash flows.

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141 (“Statement 141”), “Business Combinations”, and Statement No. 142 (“Statement 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 144 (“Statement 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 141 as of June 30, 2001 and Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 141 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. In accordance with Statement 142, the Company performed a transitional impairment test of goodwill during second quarter 2002 and an annual impairment test of goodwill during fourth quarter 2002. Impairment tests of goodwill will be performed annually thereafter. No transitional impairment losses were recognized. See Note 5 for the effect of adoption of Statement 142.

 

TRANSFER OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

 

Transfers of financial assets, typically residential mortgages for the Company, are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 148 (“Statement 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Statement 148 amends Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (“Statement 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirement of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for those companies that have elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“Opinion 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The adoption of Statement 148 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company has six stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 11. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Opinion 25 and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, 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. The following table

illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of stock options are considered in earnings per share calculations if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144 (“Statement 144”), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While Statement 144 supercedes Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121 (“Statement 121”), “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of Statement 121, establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation issues not previously addressed by Statement 121. Statement 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Opinion No. 30, (“Opinion No. 30”) “Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”, for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, it retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued operations and extends the reporting to a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business, that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Statement 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted Statement 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

 

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147 (“Statement 147”), “Acquisition of Certain Financial Institutions-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9.” Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with Statements No. 141 and 142. In addition, this Statement amends Statement 144 to include in its scope long-term customer relationship intangible assets of financial institution such as depositor and borrower relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used. The Company adopted Statement 147 on October 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 147 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board directed its staff to prepare a ballot draft of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 149 (“Statement 149”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities and Equity”. When issued, Statement 149 will require certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. Currently, the Company classifies trust preferred securities as other borrowed money on the consolidated balance sheets and its related interest cost as interest expense on consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The final Statement 149 is expected to be issued in the first quarter of 2003 and will be effective upon issuance for all contracts created or modified after the date the statement is issued and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Statement 149 will be effected by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for contracts created before the issuance date and still existing at the beginning of that interim period. The adoption of Statement 149 when issued is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

GUARANTOR’S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES

 

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34”.  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  The disclosures required by FIN 45 improve the transparency of the financial statement information about the guarantor’s obligations and liquidity risks related to guarantees issued. This interpretation also incorporates, without change, the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 34 (“FIN 34”), “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, which is being superceded. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s subsidiary bank makes loans to its officers and directors, including entities related to those individuals. These loans are made on substantially the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, loans outstanding to directors, officers and their affiliates were approximately $12,028,000 and $10,013,000, respectively.

Loans that the Company does not expect to collect the full principal and interest based on the terms of the original loan agreement are identified as impaired loans.  These include loans that are on nonaccrual status or are considered trouble debt restructurings due to the granting of a below-market rate of interest or a partial forgiveness of indebtedness on an existing loan. The balance of impaired loans was $14,800,000 at December 31, 2002 and $14,034,000 at December 31, 2001. The total allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $3,966,000 and $3,070,000 on December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition to the total impaired loan balance, the Company was committed to lend an additional $229,000 and $1,848,000 to borrowers with impaired loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had $661,000 and $226,000, respectively, in impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for loan losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2002 and 2001 was $14,721,000 and $13,281,000, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $371,000, $241,000 and $490,000 was recognized for cash payments received during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. If interest on these impaired loans had been accrued at the original contractual rates, interest income would have been increased by approximately $1,752,000, $2,582,000 and $1,285,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS — ADOPTION OF STATEMENT 142

 

As of January 1, 2002, the Company had unamortized goodwill of $24,256,000 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets of $11,742,000. In accordance with Statement 142, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. The Company evaluated its existing identifiable intangible assets and determined that no reclassifications were necessary to conform to the new criteria in Statement 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. In addition, the Company has evaluated the useful lives and residual values of its identifiable intangible assets and determined that no amortization period adjustments were necessary and no identifiable intangible assets had indefinite lives. Furthermore, the Company performed a transitional impairment test during second quarter 2002 and an annual impairment test during fourth quarter 2002. No transitional impairment loss was recognized.

 

A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization, net of tax, follows. The earnings per share amounts for 2002, 2001 and 2000 have been restated to retroactively give effect to the three-for-two stock split effected as a stock dividend declared and distributed during June 2002.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods 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, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and therefore has provided no valuation allowance as of those dates. The Company’s conclusion that it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets will be realized is based on federal taxable income of $119.7 million in the carryback period, as well as a history of growth in earnings and the prospects for continued growth. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

 

NOTE 9: PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Corporation has 10,000,000 authorized shares of $1 par value preferred stock. The articles of incorporation of the Corporation grant discretion to the Board of Directors to establish series of preferred stock with such rights, preferences and limitations as may be determined by resolution of the Board. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

 

NOTE 10: COMMON STOCK

 

The Corporation has 50,000,000 authorized shares of $1 par value common stock. At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the number of common shares outstanding are 26,488,153, 16,236,481 and 16,090,546, respectively.

 

On December 18, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend to be distributed on January 12, 2001 to common shareholders of record on January 2, 2001. The change to the capital structure was given retroactive effect on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. Furthermore, on June 11, 2002 the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split effected as a stock dividend to shareholders of record on June 21, 2002 and distributed on June 28, 2002.  The per share information for all previous years presented has been restated to retroactively give effect to the 10% stock dividend and the  three-for-two stock split.

 

NOTE 11: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

 

The Company had an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (with section 401(k) provisions) covering substantially all of its employees. Effective December 1, 2001, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Ownership Plan (with section 401(k) provisions) (the “KSOP”) primarily to add additional investment options. Employer contributions to the KSOP are discretionary, and as such, determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. The KSOP covers employees who have attained age 21 and completed twelve consecutive months and 1,000 hours of credited service, as defined in the plan, except for the 401(k) and matching provisions which require three consecutive months and 250 hours of credited service. The Company’s discretionary optional contribution is fully vested after six years of credited service. The Company’s discretionary

 

48



 

matching contribution is fully vested when made. Contribution expense, which includes employer matching for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $825,000, $509,000 and $736,000, respectively.

Effective as of December 14, 1993, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of Glen E. Roney, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides for a retirement benefit payable to Mr. Roney (or his designated beneficiary or his estate if Mr. Roney dies prior to payment of the full amount of deferred compensation) of $100,000 per year commencing October 29, 2002, and continuing annually thereafter for 14 years. In the event payments are to commence after October 30, 2002, the Company shall pay to Employee on the Late Retirement Date a lump sum equal to the amount of money that would have been paid to Employee had payments commenced on October 30, 2002 (the “Catch-Up Amount”), and in addition, the Company shall pay to Employee $100,000 per year commencing on October 30 of the year next following the Late Retirement Date and continuing regularly on the same calendar day of each year thereafter, (including the Catch-Up Amount and all other payments) the aggregate sum of $1,500,000; and on the Late Retirement Date, the Company shall pay Employee an amount intended to compensate for Employee’s lost earnings potential on the Catch-Up Amount. If Mr. Roney dies prior to commencement of the retirement benefit, payments would commence immediately and be paid to his designated beneficiary or his estate. The Company also adopted the Trust Under Glen E. Roney Deferred Compensation Plan, in the form prescribed by applicable regulations adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Among other things, the Plan and Trust provide for an initial deposit into the Trust by the Company and subsequent deposits at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and further provide for full funding of the amount

 

50



 

necessary to discharge the retirement benefit in the event of a change of control, as that term is defined in the Trust. Mr. Roney did not retire on October 29, 2002 and therefore, payments will be based on the Late Retirement Date.

 

With the consummation of the mergers, the Company acquired five existing separate deferred compensation plans for the benefit of certain Texas State Bank employees and a former San Juan Bancshares, Inc. employee. The plans provide for retirement benefits to be paid to the specific employee (or a designated beneficiary or estate if death occurs prior to payment of the full amount of deferred compensation) on reaching age 65, or age 60 in the case of the former San Juan Bancshares, Inc. employee. One plan entered into on December 10, 1963, commenced payments of $12,903 each year on January 4, 1988, continuing annually thereafter through June 2003. A second plan, entered into on September 1, 1979, provides for payments of $13,333 each year which was scheduled to commence on April 1, 1990, continuing annually thereafter through June 2005; however, the employee elected to receive an amount less than that provided for in the plan over a longer period of time. The third plan provides for a retirement benefit payable of $50,000 per year commencing in March 1999 and continuing annually thereafter for 20 years. The fourth plan provides for a retirement benefit payable of $13,350 each year beginning March 15, 1995 and continuing annually thereafter for 14 years. The fifth plan provides for a retirement benefit of $50,000 per year commencing on August 1, 2003, continuing annually thereafter through August 2018.

 

The Company has incurred deferred compensation expense of $148,000, $71,000 and $267,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, related to the five deferred compensation plans previously discussed.

 

The Bank owns and is the beneficiary of four life insurance policies on the former employees covered by the deferred compensation plans. The life insurance policies’ face values are amounts equal to the total benefits paid under the plans.

 

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions which, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, are not included on the consolidated balance sheets. These transactions are referred to as “off-balance sheet commitments.” The Company enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit which involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company attempts to minimize its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures as its other credit facilities.

 

The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Customers use credit commitments to ensure that funds will be available for working capital purposes, for capital expenditures and to ensure access to funds at specified terms and conditions. Substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit are contingent on customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance for possible loan losses.

 

Letters of credit are written for conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company’s policies generally require that letters of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit of approximately $313,438,000, commercial letters of credit of $12,624,000, standby letters of credit of $62,806,000, and credit card guarantees of $1,678,000.

 

The Company enters into a standby letter of credit to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. Under the standby letters of credit, the Bank is required to make payments to the beneficiary of the letters of credit upon request by the beneficiary so long as all performance criteria have been met. Most guarantees extend up to one year. At December 31, 2002, the maximum potential amount of future payments is $62,806,000.

 

The collateral obtained is determined based upon management’s credit evaluation of the customer and may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and income-producing real estate. The majority of the Company’s letters of credit are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The recourse provisions of the agreements allow the Company to collect the cash used to collateralize the agreement. If another business asset is used as collateral and cash is not available, the Company creates a loan covered by collateral. The fair value of the guarantees was $12,000 and $10,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The fair value of these guarantees is not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company was obligated under noncancelable leases for premises and equipment with terms, including renewal options, ranging from one to twenty years. Lease expense was $585,000, $205,000 and $287,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE COMPUTATIONS

 

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year, retroactively adjusted for the stock dividend.

 

Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the year, retroactively adjusted for the stock dividend. The diluted earnings

 

52



 

per share computations include the effects of common stock equivalents applicable to stock option contracts and contingently issuable shares.

 

The number of shares outstanding and related earnings per share amounts for 2002, 2001 and 2000 have been restated to retroactively give effect to the three-for-two stock split effected as a stock dividend declared and distributed during June 2002.

NOTE 16: RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

 

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. The amount of retained earnings in the Bank at December 31, 2002 was $113,404,000. On December 31, 2002, the aggregate amount of dividends, which legally could be paid to the Corporation without prior approval of various regulatory agencies, totaled $74,547,000.

 

NOTE 17: REGULATORY MATTERS

 

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

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject at December 31, 2002.

 

At December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Board categorized the Company and the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s or Bank’s category.

Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments:

 

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

 

Carrying value approximates fair value due to short-term nature of these instruments.

 

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

Carrying value approximates fair value due to short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Securities

 

For securities held, estimated 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 a similar security.

 

LOANS

 

The Company does not consider its loan portfolio to have the homogeneous categories of loans for which the fair value could be estimated by using quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans. Therefore, the fair value of all loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

 

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

 

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated by discounting anticipated future cash payments using rates currently available for instruments with similar remaining maturities.

 

DEPOSIT LIABILITIES

 

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 certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. The Company has not attempted to determine the amount of increase in net assets that would result from the benefit of considering the low-cost funding provided by deposit liabilities.

 

OTHER BORROWED MONEY

 

The fair value is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using interest rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT, STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT AND FINANCIAL GUARANTEES WRITTEN

 

These financial instruments are not sold or traded, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is the net unamortized deferred cost or income arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. The estimated fair value of these commitments is considered to be the carrying value. Financial guarantees written consist of obligations for credit cards issued to certain customers. Substantially all of the liability for financial guarantees written is collateralized by deposits pledged to the Company.

 

LIMITATIONS

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial

 

56



 

instruments. For example, the Company has a substantial trust department that contributes net fee income annually. The trust department is not considered a financial instrument, and its value has not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include the deferred tax assets and liabilities, premises, equipment and goodwill. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates.

 

NOTE 19: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

On February 22, 2002, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Riverway Holdings, Inc. (“Riverway”) located in Houston, Texas. The results of operations from this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition of Riverway gives Texas Regional a presence in the Houston metropolitan area, which adds a new market to Texas Regional’s dominant market position in the Rio Grande Valley.

 

The shareholders of Riverway received 1,176,157 shares of Texas Regional common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Riverway. Additionally, 100,000 shares (150,000 shares following the three-for-two stock split effected during June 2002) of Texas Regional were issued and held pursuant to a holdback escrow agreement pending the outcome of certain contingencies. The aggregate purchase price was $40,780,000. The value of the 1,176,157 shares issued is based on the average market price of Texas Regional common stock over the two-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.

 

On November 18, 2002, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of San Juan Bancshares, Inc. (“San Juan”) and its subsidiary, Texas Country Bank, located in San Juan, Texas with one additional banking location in Progreso, Texas. The results of operations from this acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition of San Juan gives Texas Regional a presence in two communities in the Rio Grande Valley where Texas Regional did not previously have branches.

 

The shareholders of San Juan Bancshares, Inc. received 149,995 shares of Texas Regional common stock in exchange for their shares of San Juan common stock. The aggregate purchase price was $4,729,000. The value of the 149,995 shares issued is based on the average market price of Texas Regional common stock over the two-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for both transactions at the date of acquisition:

In addition, none of the goodwill recorded with the Riverway acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.
