Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Asset Growth: Total assets increased 29% year-over-year to $2.9 billion, driven by the BCC acquisition and a $230 million increase in repurchase agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
- Revenue: Net interest income rose 21% to $51.7 million, fueled by a 40% increase in loan volume and a 76% increase in investment securities income. Total interest income increased 52%.
- Expenses: Total interest expense doubled (100% increase) to $54.0 million due to higher funding costs and increased volume of repurchase agreements. Non-interest expenses rose 21% to $32.4 million, primarily due to expanded operations from acquisitions.
- Profitability: Net income increased 15% to $20.4 million. Earnings per share grew to $2.94 from $2.51.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Acquisitions: The Company completed the merger of The Bank of Corpus Christi (BCC) in February 1995, recording $4.2 million in intangible assets. A merger with Stone Oak National Bank was pending regulatory approval as of the filing date.
- Interest Rate Risk: Management maintains a liability-sensitive position in the short term (0-3 months) and an asset-sensitive position in the long term. The Company uses simulation models to monitor exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
- Foreign Exposure: The Company monitors the impact of the Mexican peso devaluation. While 85% of Mexican loans are secured by U.S. assets, management notes the potential for adverse impacts and continues to monitor the situation.
- Capital Adequacy: As of June 30, 1995, the Company reported a leverage ratio of 6.84%, a Tier 1 risk-weighted capital ratio of 13.41%, and a total risk-weighted capital ratio of 14.57%, all well above regulatory minimums.
- Legal Proceedings: The Company is involved in various "lender liability" lawsuits. Management assesses the risk of material loss as remote.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Acquisition Integration: Verify the regulatory approval status and closing timeline for the pending Stone Oak National Bank merger.
- Mexican Loan Exposure: Review the specific collateral details for the $116 million loan portfolio in Mexico to assess credit risk given the peso devaluation.
- Cost of Funds: Analyze the sustainability of the 100% increase in interest expense relative to the growth in net interest income.
- Intangible Assets: Monitor the amortization schedule for the $4.2 million in goodwill and core deposit intangibles recorded from the BCC acquisition.
