TEXAS REGIONAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Texas Regional” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (the “Parent”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Texas Regional Delaware, Inc., Southeast Texas Insurance Services, L.P., operating under the name Community Insurance, Port Arthur Abstract and Title Company, Southeast Texas Title Company, Texas State Bank (the “Bank”), TSB Securities, Inc., TSB Properties, Inc., Hydrox Holdings, Inc. and Valley Mortgage Company, Inc. The Company eliminates all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries on the equity method in the Parent’s financial statements.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3 (“SOP 03-3”), “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”. SOP 03-3 provides guidance on the accounting for differences between contractual and expected cash flows from the purchaser’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. Among other things, SOP 03-3: (1) prohibits the recognition of the excess of contractual cash flows over expected cash flows as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance at the time of purchase; (2) requires that subsequent increases in expected cash flows be recognized prospectively through an adjustment of yield; and (3) requires the subsequent decreases in expected cash flows be recognized as an impairment. In addition, SOP 03-3 prohibits the creation or carrying over of a valuation allowance in the initial accounting of all loans within its scope that are acquired in a transfer. SOP 03-3 becomes effective for loans or debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company does not expect the requirements of SOP 03-3 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 (“SAB 105”), “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”. SAB 105 summarizes the view of the staff regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments including recognition of the loan commitment and financial statement disclosures. The requirements of SAB 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (“Statement 123R”) “Share-Based Payment”, a revision of Statement No. 123 (“Statement 123”),”Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. This statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“Opinion 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Statement 123R eliminates an entity’s ability to report employee stock options under the methods prescribed by Opinion 25. Statement 123R establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services or incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This statement requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the required effective date of Statement 123R. Statement 123R will be effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005.

 

Statement 123R provides alternative methods of adoption which include using either a “modified prospective application” or a “modified retrospective application”. The “modified prospective application” requires the recognition of compensation cost, beginning with the effective date, for all awards granted after the adoption date based on the requirements of Statement 123R and for all unvested awards granted prior to the adoption date of Statement 123R, based on the requirements of Statement 123. The “modified retrospective application” includes the requirements of the “modified prospective application”, but also permits the restatement of financial statements of previous periods based on amounts previously disclosed in accordance with Statement 123. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption alternatives. Based on stock options granted to employees through March 31, 2005, for which service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to January 1, 2006, the Company expects to recognize additional pre-tax compensation costs of approximately $989,000 during 2006 as a result of the adoption of Statement 123R

 

7



 

effective January 1, 2006. Future levels of compensation cost related to stock-based compensation awards will be impacted by new stock option awards by the Company occurring before and after the adoption of Statement 123R.

The Company has accounted for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the intrinsic value provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. All outstanding options have been granted at fair market value at date of grant; therefore, the Company did not record any compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements for its stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with Statement 148, the following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share had compensation expense been recognized consistent with the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“Statement 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 2: IMPAIRED LOANS

 

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 troubled 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 $41,518,000 at March 31, 2005 for which there was a related allowance for loan losses of $8,409,000. At March 31, 2005, the balance of impaired loans included $656,000 for which there was no related allowance for loan losses. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $25,378,000. Interest income on impaired loans of $20,000 for cash payments received on nonaccrual loans was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The Company owns all of the common stock of the three business trusts, which have issued trust preferred securities in conjunction with the Company and an acquired company issuing junior subordinated debentures to the Trusts. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are substantially the same as the terms of the trust preferred securities. The Company’s obligations under the debentures constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the Trusts. The junior subordinated debentures issued to the Trusts are included as other borrowed money in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies. Under the rule, trust preferred securities and other restricted core capital elements will be subject to stricter quantitative limits. The final rule provides a five-year transition period ending March 31, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits. Because the Company’s trust preferred securities are within the quantitative limits, the trust preferred securities are expected to be fully included in Tier 1 Capital under the Federal Reserve’s final rule.

 

NOTE 4: COMMON STOCK

 

On March 8, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for shareholders of record on April 1, 2005 and payable on April 15, 2005.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the “safe harbor” created by these 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. Because of these uncertainties, actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company’s past results do not necessarily indicate its future results.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations at the dates and for the periods indicated follows. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.

 

GENERAL

 

Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. 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. (“Texas Regional Delaware”), 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. As a result of the acquisition of Southeast Texas Bancshares, Inc. (“Southeast Texas”) in March 2004, Texas Regional Delaware is now the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the ownership interests in (i) Southeast Texas Insurance Services, L.P., which operates under the name of Community Insurance and offers general lines of insurance and (ii) Port Arthur Abstract and Title Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southeast Texas Title Company, which offer title insurance agency services. The Bank has four active wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) TSB Securities, Inc., incorporated in 1997 to provide full service broker-dealer services, (ii) TSB Properties, Inc., incorporated in 1998 primarily to receive and liquidate foreclosed assets, (iii) Hydrox Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary formed by an acquired institution to own and operate certain real estate properties and (iv) Valley Mortgage Company, Inc. (“Valley Mortgage”), a corporation acquired in November 2004 which operates a mortgage banking business in Texas.

 

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.

 

Texas State Bank operates seventy-one banking offices. Thirty-one 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, three banking locations in Weslaco, two banking locations in Edinburg, two banking locations in San Juan, and one banking location each in Hidalgo, La Feria, Mercedes, Palm Valley, Peñitas, Progreso, Raymondville, Rio Grande City, and Roma. In addition, Texas State Bank operates one banking location each in Bishop, Corpus Christi, Eagle Pass and Sugar Land, two banking locations in Houston and three banking locations in Dallas. Thirty-one banking locations are located in the East Texas area including seven banking locations in Beaumont, five banking

locations in Port Arthur, two banking locations in Orange, two banking locations in Jasper, two banking locations in Lumberton, two banking locations in Silsbee, and one banking location each in Kountze, Port Neches, Sour Lake, Vidor, Tyler, Broaddus, Buna, Colmesneil, Kirbyville, San Augustine and Woodville. At March 31, 2005, Texas Regional had consolidated total assets of $6,089,473,000, loans held for investment (net of unearned discount) of $3,843,779,000, deposits of $5,002,140,000, and shareholders’ equity of $600,896,000.

 

The Bank provides data processing services to correspondent banks. The Bank’s data processing center serves banks both in North Texas and the Rio Grande Valley, in addition to providing data processing services for all of the Bank’s banking locations.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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” for further information regarding the Company’s provision and allowance for loan losses policy.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company also considers the accounting estimates used in evaluating the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights to be critical. 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. At March 31, 2005, the fair value was based on the present value of future cash flows using prepayment rates ranging from 85% to 400% of standard Public Securities Association prepayment rates, discount rates ranging from 8% to 20% and weighted average lives ranging from 2 to 10 years.

 

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 $156,243,000 at March 31, 2005. By comparison, the Company had $146,307,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2004, an increase of $9,936,000 or 6.8%.

 

SECURITIES

 

Securities consist of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agency, mortgage-backed and state, county and municipal securities. The Bank 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets with unrealized holding gains and losses included in net income. Securities not classified as either held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale and measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, until realized.

 

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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.

Net unrealized holding losses on securities available for sale, net of related tax effect, of $14,967,000 and $2,212,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, were reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.

 

A summary of securities available for sale, which were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2005, is provided below. The Company has both the ability and intent to hold these securities for the time period necessary to recover the costs. In addition, the Company believes the decrease in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality of the issuer.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

 

Loans held for sale of $25,041,000 at March 31, 2005 decreased $3,941,000 or 13.6% compared to December 31, 2004 levels of $28,982,000. The decrease in loans held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2005 resulted primarily from a decrease in loan volume due to rising interest rates.

 

LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT

 

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 does not maintain any single loan relationship that it considers material to the overall portfolio.

 

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 deeds of trust, 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 consumer 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 0.6% of total loans at March 31, 2005.

 

International loans are loans to borrowers, primarily from borrowers in Mexico, that are domiciled in a country other than the United States of America. The Company’s total international loans at March 31, 2005 of $49,213,000 represented 1.3% of total loans held for investment.

 

Total loans held for investment of $3,843,779,000 at March 31, 2005 increased $93,260,000 or 2.5% compared to December 31, 2004 levels of $3,750,519,000. The Mercantile acquisition during first quarter 2005 increased loans held for investment by $118,129,000. The increase was partially offset by loan repayments including $56,248,000 from three loan relationships, which were paid when the borrowers obtained permanent long-term financing or sold their businesses. The increase in total loans held for investment for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was attributable to increases in real estate loans.

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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, loans outstanding to directors, officers and their affiliates were approximately $66,521,000 and $65,181,000, respectively.

 

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.

 

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming (impaired) loans and other assets, primarily real estate, acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loan obligations. 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

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 serious 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 $49,520,000 at March 31, 2005 increased $22,372,000 or 82.4% compared to December 31, 2004 levels of $27,148,000. Nonaccrual loans of $41,518,000 at March 31, 2005 increased $21,768,000 or 110.2% compared to $19,750,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of the addition of one loan relationship totaling $22,100,000. Management is actively pursuing a resolution of this loan relationship. Foreclosed and other assets increased by $604,000 or 8.2% to $8,002,000 at March 31, 2005 compared to $7,398,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in foreclosed and other assets during 2005 was primarily attributable to the addition of a large property totaling $1,235,000. The increase was partially offset by the sale of a property totaling $391,000. 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 and still accruing at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $27,764,000 and $19,684,000, respectively, reflecting an increase of $8,080,000 or 41.0%. The increase in accruing loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2005 as compared to December 31, 2004 resulted primarily from the addition of three loan relationships totaling $8,832,000. The ratio of nonperforming assets plus accruing loans 90 days or more past due as a percent of loans held for investment and foreclosed and other assets at March 31, 2005 increased to 2.01% from 1.25% at December 31, 2004.

Management regularly reviews and monitors the loan portfolio to identify borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Management believes that, at March 31, 2005, 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. The Company’s allowance for loan losses represents estimations based on guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15”, as amended by Statement No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition and Disclosures-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 114” or Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”.

 

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 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 or reductions to the allowance will not be necessary.

 

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2005 totaled $47,313,000, representing a net increase of $2,289,000 or 5.1% compared to $45,024,000 at December 31, 2004. The acquisition of Mercantile during first quarter 2005 attributed to $1,524,000 of the increase. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2005 adequately reflects the probable losses in the loan portfolio. Various regulatory agencies, 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.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Premises and equipment, net of $140,145,000 at March 31, 2005 increased by $5,906,000 or 4.4% compared to December 31, 2004 levels of $134,239,000. The increase resulted primarily from $4,689,000 of premises and equipment acquired in the Mercantile acquisition during first quarter 2005, as well as $785,000 in real estate purchased during first quarter 2005 in Houston and Rio Grande City, Texas for future banking locations.

 

GOODWILL, NET

 

Goodwill, net of $194,963,000 at March 31, 2005 increased $20,460,000 or 11.7% compared to $174,503,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to $19,716,000 in goodwill added with the Mercantile acquisition. In addition, goodwill adjustments totaling $384,000 and $360,000 relating to the Southeast Texas and Valley Mortgage acquisitions, respectively, were recorded during first quarter 2005. The Company is continuing to evaluate the value of the goodwill intangible obtained with the Mercantile acquisition.

 

IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES, NET

 

Identifiable intangibles, net of $30,022,000 at March 31, 2005 increased $415,000 or 1.4% compared to $29,607,000 at December 31, 2004. Identifiable intangibles, net increased as a result of a $2,028,000 core deposit intangible added with the Mercantile acquisition. The increase was offset by net amortization of $1,655,000 for first quarter 2005, including amortization of $181,000 on the unfavorable lease commitment obtained with the Southeast Texas acquisition included as a reduction of net occupancy expense. The Company is continuing to evaluate the value of the core deposit intangible obtained with the Mercantile acquisition.

At March 31, 2005, the Company and the Bank met the criteria for classification as a “well-capitalized” institution under the prompt corrective action rules promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Designation as a well-capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Bank by Federal bank regulators.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

NET INCOME

 

Net income was $23,799,000 and $17,157,000 and net income per diluted common share was $0.48 and $0.38 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net income increased primarily due to the recognition of a full three months of results from the Southeast Texas acquisition, as well as results from the Valley Mortgage and Mercantile acquisitions. The Company completed the acquisition of Southeast Texas on March 12, 2004, Valley Mortgage on November 23, 2004 and Mercantile on January 14, 2005. The results of operations for Southeast Texas, Valley Mortgage and Mercantile have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since their respective purchase dates. Furthermore, during first quarter 2005 the Company benefited from a special distribution received totaling $5,252,000 as a result of the acquisition of the PULSE EFT Association by Discover Financial Services, Inc., a business unit of Morgan Stanley. Return on assets averaged 1.60% and 1.53% while return on shareholders’ equity averaged 15.90% and 14.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Net interest income, reported on a tax-equivalent basis, was $58,679,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared with $43,967,000 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $14,712,000 or 33.5%. The net interest margin was 4.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 4.25% for the same period in 2004. Tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $81,975,000, an increase of $24,174,000 or 41.8% from the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase in tax-equivalent interest income was largely due to growth in average interest-earning assets, which rose to $5,483,333,000 representing a $1,319,642,000 or 31.7% increase compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was further affected by a 49 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets. Tax-equivalent interest income on loans held for investment increased $21,527,000 or 48.0% to $66,409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to a $1,144,832,000 or 42.2% increase in average loans held for investment over the same period in 2004 as a result of the Southeast Texas acquisition during March 2004 as well as a 13.1% internal loan growth rate. The increase was further affected by a 33 basis point increase in the yield on average loans held for investment resulting primarily from an increase in the average prime rate from 4.00% during first quarter 2004 to 5.44% during first quarter 2005. Tax-equivalent interest income on securities increased to $14,790,000, reflecting a $2,164,000 or 17.1% increase from the prior comparable period. This increase was attributable to a $164,430,000 increase in average securities, up 11.6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004 primarily as a result of securities obtained with the Southeast Texas acquisition. The increase was further affected by a 21 basis point increase in the yield on average securities during first quarter 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Interest expense increased to $23,296,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $13,834,000 for the same period in 2004, representing an increase of $9,462,000 or 68.4%. The increase resulted from a $1,110,245,000 or 32.8% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities coupled with a 46 basis point increase in the cost of funds during first quarter 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Interest expense on deposits increased by $7,800,000 or 62.7% to $20,238,000 for first quarter 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 as a result of an increase in average interest-bearing deposits, as well as a 43 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits resulting from higher rates offered on deposits due to increases in market rates. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $926,790,000 or 29.2% to $4,103,834,000 for first quarter 2005 compared to first quarter 2004 primarily as a result of the Southeast Texas acquisition and an internal growth rate on interest-bearing deposits of 6.7% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005. Interest expense on other borrowed money increased $1,662,000 or 119.1% to $3,058,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a $183,455,000 or 86.3% increase in average other borrowed money to $396,068,000 compared to $212,613,000 a year ago, as well as a 49 basis point increase in the average rate paid on other borrowed money as a result of rising interest rates. The average balance of FHLB advances increased by $128,250,000 in order to partly fund $148,699,000 in internal loan growth in excess of internal deposit growth for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005. In addition, the average balance of junior subordinated debentures increased by $30,588,000 as a result of $51,547,000 in junior subordinated debentures issued in February 2004 to partially fund the Southeast Texas acquisition.

 

The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change”. It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change”. The 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. Average balances are derived from average daily balances and the yields and costs are established by dividing the annualized income or expense by the average balance of the asset or liability. Income and yields on interest-earning assets include amounts to convert tax-exempt income to a taxable-equivalent basis, assuming a 35% effective tax rate for 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands):

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

 

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $5,407,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $3,924,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase in the provision is primarily attributable to the Company’s continuing review of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance and growth in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs totaled $4,642,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $2,859,000 for the comparable prior year period and increased to 0.49% of average loans held for investment during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 0.42% of average loans held for investment during the same period in 2004.

 

Management charges provisions for loan losses to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate. Management bases its decision on many factors which include historical loan loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming assets, specific provisions for individual nonperforming loans, 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

 

The Company’s primary sources of noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, other banking service related fees, data processing fees and trust service fees. Noninterest income totaled $24,811,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $13,468,000 for the same period in 2004. Excluding net realized gains (losses) on sales of securities available for sale, noninterest income increased $11,844,000 or 91.3% from the same period in 2004. The majority of the increase is attributable to a full three months of results from the Southeast Texas acquisition, as well as results from the Valley Mortgage and Mercantile acquisitions. Furthermore, during first quarter 2005, the Company benefited from a $5,252,000 special distribution received as a result of the acquisition of the PULSE EFT Association by Discover Financial Services, Inc.

 

Total service charges of $12,312,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $2,918,000 or 31.1% compared to $9,394,000 for the same period in 2004 primarily due to a full quarter of service charges generated from deposits obtained with the Southeast Texas acquisition in March 2004. The increase in total service charges is reflective of the increase in average demand deposits of $300,302,000 or 50.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the comparable prior year

 

20



 

period. Non-sufficient and return item charges, which comprise 73.5% of service charges on deposit accounts, increased by $1,607,000 or 31.4% for the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Insurance commissions, fees and premiums totaled $926,000 for first quarter 2005 compared to $301,000 for the same period in 2004, increasing by $625,000. The increase resulted from the inclusion of a full three months of income generated by the title insurance and general lines insurance agencies acquired with the Southeast Texas acquisition. The principal component of insurance commissions, fees and premiums prior to the Southeast Texas transaction was insurance commissions and fees received from the sale of credit life insurance, since prior to the merger with Southeast Texas the Company did not have other significant insurance business.

 

Trust service fees of $1,840,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $1,113,000 or 153.1% compared to $727,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase in trust service fees was reflective of the increase in the average fair value of trust accounts by 130.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the prior comparable period. The increase in the average fair value of trust accounts is primarily due to the acquisition of Southeast Texas and additional trust business developed subsequent to that acquisition in the southeast Texas markets. The fair market value of assets managed by the trust department at March 31, 2005 was $1,475,545,000 compared to $1,466,841,000 at December 31, 2004 and $1,138,061,000 at March 31, 2004. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Net realized gains (losses) on sales of securities available for sale decreased to a $2,000 net loss for first quarter 2005 compared to a $499,000 net gain for first quarter 2004. During first quarter 2004, the Company sold various callable securities with unrealized gains before their anticipated call dates. During first quarter 2005, opportunities to recognize unrealized gains in the investment portfolio decreased as gross unrealized gains in the available for sale portfolio decreased from $20,900,000 at December 31, 2003 to $7,476,000 at December 31, 2004. Net unrealized holding loss on securities available for sale, net of tax, totaled $14,967,000 at March 31, 2005. See “Shareholders’ Equity”.

 

Data processing service fees of $2,624,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $502,000 or 23.7% compared to $2,122,000 for the same period last year. The increase in data processing fees resulted primarily from a $332,000 termination fee collected during first quarter 2005. There were 26 data processing clients at both March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.

 

Loan servicing income (loss), net of amortization of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) asset, increased to $153,000 net servicing income for first quarter 2005 compared to $182,000 net servicing loss for first quarter 2004, reflecting an increase of $335,000 from the prior year period. The increase resulted primarily from $180,000 in servicing income generated from Valley Mortgage, as well as a decrease in MSR amortization of $257,000 to $368,000 during first quarter 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 resulting from a slowdown of prepayments.

 

Other noninterest income of $6,958,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $6,351,000 compared to $607,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase resulted primarily from a $5,252,000 special distribution received as a result of the acquisition of PULSE EFT Association by Discover Financial Services, Inc. during first quarter 2005.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest expense of $41,162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $14,299,000 or 53.2% compared to $26,863,000 for the same period in 2004. The efficiency ratio of expense to total revenue was 49.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 47.48% for the same period in 2004. The efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by the total of net interest income and noninterest income.

 

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest category of noninterest expense, of $22,717,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $8,935,000 or 64.8% compared to the same period last year of $13,782,000. The increase reflects increases in base salaries and higher levels of staff, including staff acquired with the Valley Mortgage and Mercantile acquisitions. The increase also reflects a full three months of expenses for staff acquired with the Southeast Texas acquisition. The number of full-time equivalent employees of 2,061 at March 31, 2005 represents an increase of 23.1% from 1,674 at March 31, 2004. Salaries and employee benefits averaged 1.53% of average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 1.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

Net occupancy expense totaled $3,409,000 for first quarter 2005 increasing $1,236,000 or 56.9% compared to $2,173,000 reported for first quarter 2004. The increase during first quarter 2005 was primarily attributable to the addition of seven banking locations during the twelve months ended March 31, 2005 combined with a full three months of expenses associated with the 29 banking locations acquired in the Southeast Texas acquisition during March 2004. Texas State Bank operated 71 banking locations as of March 31, 2005 compared to 64 at March 31, 2004.

 

Equipment expense of $3,987,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $768,000 or 23.9% from $3,219,000 reported for the same period in 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to equipment expenses incurred from the acquired and new banking locations. The majority of the increase in equipment expense during first quarter 2005 resulted from increases in depreciation expense on furniture, fixtures and equipment and personal property tax expense. Depreciation expense on furniture, fixtures and equipment increased $494,000 or 29.4% resulting primarily from a 19.2% increase in the average

 

21



 

balance of the related asset accounts. In addition, personal property tax expense increased $109,000 or 84.4% during first quarter 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Other real estate expense, net includes rent income and net operating 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 of $229,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $108,000 or 89.3% from $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from a decrease in the amount realized on sale of foreclosed properties. During first quarter 2004, the Company realized a $165,000 gain on the sale of a foreclosed property. No large gains were recognized during first quarter 2005. Furthermore, the Company received a $96,000 distribution from a real estate partnership interest during first quarter 2004. No distribution from the partnership interest was received during the same period in 2005. The increase in other real estate expense, net resulting from these items was partially offset by a decrease in other real estate write-downs and operating losses generated from foreclosed properties. During first quarter 2004, the Company recognized a net operating loss of $70,000 and a $100,000 write-down on a marina facility sold during second quarter 2004. No write-downs were recognized on foreclosed properties during first quarter 2005. Management is actively seeking buyers for all other real estate.

 

Amortization of identifiable intangibles of $1,841,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $1,043,000 or 130.7% compared to $798,000 for the same period in 2004. The increase is primarily the result of a $956,000 increase in amortization relating to the Southeast Texas acquisition combined with $80,000 in amortization on intangibles added with the Mercantile acquisition.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $12,123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $8,628,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, representing an increase of $3,495,000 or 40.5%. The increase in income tax is primarily due to an increased level of pretax income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 33.7% compared to 33.5% for the same period in 2004.

 

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

 

Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. On March 31, 2005, the Company exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.53%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 10.44%, and a leverage ratio of 7.83%.

 

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, federal funds sold, time deposits, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agency and mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 2005, the Company’s liquidity ratio, defined as cash, U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agency, mortgage-backed securities, interest-bearing deposits, time deposits and federal funds sold as a percentage of deposits, was 32.9% compared to 31.3% at December 31, 2004.

 

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

 

23



 

deposits. Foreign deposits comprise a relatively stable portion of the deposit base, representing 7.9% of deposits at March 31, 2005. Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity. At March 31, 2005, the Company had lines of credit totaling $125,000,000 with correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs. In addition, the Company had available credit of approximately $1,075,696,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank, of which $240,745,000 was advanced at March 31, 2005. These sources of liquidity are short-term in nature and are used, as necessary, to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.

 

The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with a fixed expiration date, at specified rates and for specific purposes. All of the Company’s commitments are contingent upon the customer maintaining specific credit standards at the time of the loan funding. At March 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding commitments to extend credit of approximately $738,221,000, commercial letters of credit of $48,000, standby letters of credit of $82,922,000, and credit card guarantees of $1,407,000. The Company guarantees the credit card debt of certain customers to the merchant bank that issues the cards, up to the customers’ credit limit. In addition, the Company had construction and real estate purchase commitments of $4,503,000.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, funds for $202,009,000 of securities purchased primarily came from various sources, including $69,642,000 of proceeds from security sales and maturities, $67,857,000 net increase in deposits and $54,825,000 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 March 31, 2005, an aggregate of $41,734,000 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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

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

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b), as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to timely alert them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect these controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company has been notified of the filing, on April 28, 2005, of a lawsuit in the District Court of Orange County, Texas, 163rd Judicial District, styled Andrew W. Dunn and Kenneth D. Rogers, Plaintiffs, vs. Texas State Bank, Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc., Texas Regional Delaware, Inc., Community Bank & Trust, S.S.B. (“Community”), Quality Mat Company, Joe Penland, Sr., Robert L. McDorman, C. Meshell McDorman, Mac-Pro GP, L.L.C., Mac-Pro, Ltd., McDorman Motors GP, L.L.C., McDorman Motors, Ltd., and additional unidentified defendants. Mr. Penland is a director of the Company and Texas State Bank. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit purport to act as the assignees of the former Mauriceville National Bank (“Mauriceville”) and as co-agents on behalf of Mauriceville’s former shareholders.

 

The lawsuit seeks recovery, among other things, of funds lost by Mauriceville arising out of an alleged check kiting scheme involving cashier’s checks issued by Mauriceville and customer checks drawn on Community and another bank. Plaintiffs seek recovery of $3,374,256, plus an unspecified amount of consequential damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and expense. Community was acquired by the Company as part of its acquisition of Southeast Texas Bancshares, Inc. in March 2004. Texas Regional's management has notified its insurance carriers and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are also routinely involved in other legal proceedings concerning matters arising from the conduct of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business activities, including the prior business activities of acquired companies. In the opinion of management, pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
