Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (Cullen/Frost) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas that provides, through its subsidiaries, a broad array of products and services throughout 12 Texas markets. In addition to general commercial and consumer banking, other products and services offered include trust and investment management, investment banking, insurance brokerage, leasing, asset-based lending, treasury management and item processing.

The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Cullen/Frost and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Corporation"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, a nd should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2003 (the "2002 Form 10-K"). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2003, or any future period.

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the financial services industry. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for possible loan losses is particularly subject to change.

Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable, including the effects of discontinued operations (See Note 11 - Discontinued Operations).

The Corporation accounts for stock-based employee compensation plans based on the "intrinsic value method" provided in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. Because the exercise price of the Corporation's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized on options granted. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the stock on the date of grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS 148, requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share for companies not adopting its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. The pro forma disclosures presented in Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation use the fair value method of SFAS 123 to measure compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans.

		Total	$	4,461,551		100.0	%	$	4,518,913		100.0	%

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations, which typically occurs when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days past due. Non-accrual loans totaled $37.2 million at June 30, 2003 and $34.9 million at December 31, 2002. Accruing loans past due more than 90 days totaled $6.9 million at June 30, 2003 and $9.1 million at December 31, 2002.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectibility of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Impaired loans were as follows:

								June 30,						December 31,
									2003						2002


Impaired loans with no allocated allowance								$	9,746					$		9,769
Impaired loans with an allocated allowance									23,036							19,247

Total recorded investment in impaired loans								$	32,782					$		29,016


Amount of the allowance allocated								$	11,316					$		9,275


All impaired loans are included in non-performing assets. The impaired loans included in the table above were primarily comprised of collateral dependent commercial loans. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $33.7 million and $32.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and $29.8 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. No interest income was recognized on these loans subsequent to their classification as impaired.

Loans to borrowers in Mexico (denominated in U.S. dollars) totaled approximately $16.1 million at June 30, 2003. Approximately $7.5 million of these loans were collateralized by assets held by the Corporation. None of the Mexico-related loans was on non-performing status at June 30, 2003.

Note 4 - Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense, which represents management's best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management's continuing evaluations of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowa nce is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Corporation's control, including the performance of the Corporation's loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.

Activity in the allowance for possible loan losses was as follows:

		Three Months Ended June 30,											Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.

The Corporation enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Corporation's commitments to extend credit are contingent upon 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. Commitments to extend credit totaled $2.1 billion at both June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

Stand-by Letters of Credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Corporation's policies generally require that standby letters of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Corporation would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Corporation could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Corporation would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. Standby letters of credit totaled $167.2 million at June 30, 2003 and $159.3 million at December 31, 2002. As of June 30, 2003, in accordance with a new accounting standard, the Corpo ration has an accrued liability of $671 thousand related to potential obligations under these guarantees. No liability was recorded for these guarantees prior to January 1, 2003. See Note 13 - New Accounting Standards.

Lease Commitments. The Corporation leases certain office facilities and office equipment under operating leases. Rent expense for all operating leases totaled $3.3 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and $3.9 million and $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. There has been no significant change in the future minimum lease payments payable by the Corporation since December 31, 2002. See the 2002 Form 10-K for information regarding these commitments.

Litigation. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims and legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of conducting business. Management does not expect the ultimate disposition of these matters to have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Note 7 - Capital

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to adjusted quarterly average assets (as defined).

Cullen/Frost's and Frost Bank's Tier 1 capital consists of shareholders' equity excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tier 1 capital for Cullen/Frost also includes $100 million of 8.42 percent trust preferred securities. Cullen/Frost's and Frost Bank's total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus $150 million of 6.875 percent subordinated notes payable and a permissible portion of the allowance for possible loan losses.

The Tier 1 and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets, allocated by risk weight category and certain off-balance-sheet items (primarily loan commitments). The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets.

Actual and required capital ratios for Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank were as follows:

Frost Bank has been notified by its regulator that, as of its most recent regulatory examination, it is regarded as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Such determination has been made based on Frost Bank's Tier 1, total capital, and leverage ratios. There have been no conditions or events since this notification that management believes would change Frost Bank's categorization as well capitalized under the aforementioned ratios.

Cullen/Frost is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve, while Frost Bank is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if Cullen/Frost or Frost Bank fails to meet the minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2003, that Cullen/Frost and Frost Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Note 8 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock granted using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted earnings per share computations were as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,

		2003		2002			2003		2002


Numerators for both basic and diluted earnings per share:
Income from continuing operations	$	34,233	$	33,077		$	65,103	$		61,297
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax		-		(424	)		-			(927	)


Net income	$	34,233	$	32,653		$	65,103	$		60,370


Denominators:

Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation

The following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 as if the fair value method of SFAS 123 had been used to measure compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans. For the purposes of these pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards is amortized to expense over the related vesting periods.

Pro forma net income	$	32,846		$	31,086		$	62,132		$	56,699


Earnings per share:
Basic - as reported	$	0.67		$	0.64		$	1.27		$	1.18

Diluted - as reported		0.65			0.61			1.25			1.13
Diluted - pro forma		0.63			0.58			1.19			1.06

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of publicly traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Additionally, the model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Corporation's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of publicly traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Corporation's employee stock options.

Note 10 - Income Taxes

Income tax expense was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

		2003			2002			2003				2002


Current income tax expense	$	19,024		$	18,679		$	32,955			$	32,367
Deferred income tax benefit		(2,990	)		(3,028	)		(2,315		)		(3,495	)


Income tax expense as reported, before discontinued operations	$	16,034		$	15,651		$	30,640			$	28,872


Current income tax benefit related to discontinued operations	$	-		$	(227	)	$	-			$	(498	)


Net deferred tax assets totaled $18.7 million at June 30, 2003 and $16.3 million at December 31, 2002. No valuation allowance was recorded against these deferred tax assets, as the amounts are recoverable through taxes paid in prior years.

Note 11 - Discontinued Operations

On July 23, 2002, the Corporation announced that its start-up securities firm, Frost Securities Inc., was exiting all capital markets-related activities at the close of business on that day. Conditions in the capital markets, combined with the uncertainty of the outlook for the future, made further investments by the Corporation in this segment uneconomic. The discontinued capital markets components included research, sales, trading, and capital markets-related investment banking. The move resulted in the elimination of approximately forty-four positions, or substantially all of the subsidiary's fifty employees. The Corporation maintains a small group of investment banking professionals to continue providing limited advisory and private equity services to middle market companies in its market area.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Corporation recognized a loss on the disposal of the discontinued operations of $6.7 million ($4.4 million, or $.08 diluted per share, after-tax). The loss on the disposal was primarily related to accelerated deferred compensation and severance expense.

The results of operations of the discontinued component are presented separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, net of tax, following income from continuing operations. Details are presented in the table below:

	Three Months			Six Months
	Ended			Ended

Loss per share from discontinued operations:
Basic	$	(0.01	)		$	(0.02	)
Diluted		(0.01	)			(0.02	)

Note 12 - Operating Segments

The Corporation has two reportable operating segments, Banking and the Financial Management Group (FMG), that are delineated by the products and services that each segment offers. Banking includes both commercial and consumer banking services, Frost Insurance Agency (FIA) and the continuing portion of Frost Securities, Inc. (See Note 11 - Discontinued Operations). Commercial banking services are provided to corporations and other business clients and include a wide array of lending and cash management products. Consumer banking services include direct lending and depository services. FMG includes fee-based services within private trust, retirement services, and financial management services, including personal wealth management and brokerage services. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of the Corporation except for the following items, which impact the Banking and FMG segments. The Corporation uses a match-funded transfer pricing process to assess operating segment performance. Expenses for consolidated back-office operations are allocated to operating segments based on estimated uses of those services. General overhead-type expenses such as executive administration, accounting and internal audit are allocated based on the direct expense level of the operating segment. Income tax expense for the individual segments is calculated essentially at the statutory rate. The parent company records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated total.

Summarized operating results by segment were as follows:

	Banking			FMG			Non- Banks				Discontinued Operations			Consolidated

Note 13 - New Accounting Standards

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 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. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and were adopted in the Corporation's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. Implementation of the remaining provisions of FIN 45 on January 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements. The Corporation considers the fees collected in connection with the issuance of letters of credit to be representative of the fair value of its obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Accordingly, under FIN 45, the Corporation now defers fees collected in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. The fees are then recognized in income proportionately over the life of the letter of credit agreement. As of June 30, 2003, the Corporation had deferred letter of credit fees totaling $671 thousand, which represents the fair value of the Corporation's potential obligations under the letter of credit guarantees.

FIN No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51." FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE) that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE entity is the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIE's expected losses, receives a majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a VIE. Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, VIEs were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity. The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003, and are otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

The Corporation adopted FIN 46 on July 1, 2003. In its current form, FIN 46 may require the Corporation to de-consolidate its investment in Cullen/Frost Capital Trust I in future financial statements. The potential de-consolidation of subsidiary trusts of bank holding companies formed in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities, like Cullen/Frost Capital Trust I, appears to be an unintended consequence of FIN 46. It is currently unknown if, or when, the Financial Accounting Standards Board will address this issue. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary. The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, provide further appropriate guidance. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes. As of June 30, 2003, assuming the Corporation was not allowed to include the $100 million in trust preferred securities issued by Cullen/Frost Capital Trust I in Tier 1 capital, the Corporation would still exceed the regulatory required minimums for capital adequacy purposes (see Note 7 - Capital). If the trust preferred securities were no longer allowed to be included in Tier 1 capital, the Corporation would also be permitted to redeem the capital securities, which bear interest at 8.42 percent, without penalty.

SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The amendments (i) reflect decisions of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG); (ii) reflect decisions made by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in conjunction with other projects dealing with financial instruments; and (iii) address implementation issues related to the application of the definition of a derivative. SFAS 149 also modifies various other existing pronouncements to conform with the changes made to SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provisions ap plied prospectively. Adoption of SFAS 149 on July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."
SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances. Such financial instruments include (i) financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; (ii) financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; (iii) financial instruments that embody an obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer's equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer's equity shares; and (iv) certain freestanding financial instruments. SFAS 150 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of SFAS 150 on July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Review

Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.

(taxable-equivalent basis - table dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Corporation's 2002 Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2003, or any future period.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the financial services industry. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Corporation bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Corporation considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. Accounting polices related to the allowance for possible loan losses are considered to be critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. The Corporation also considers accounting policies related to stock-based compensation to be critical due to the continuously evolving standards, changes to which could materially impact the way the Corporation accounts for stock options.

For additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Note A - Summary of Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections captioned "Application of Critical Accounting Policies" and "Allowance for Possible Loan Losses" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Corporation's 2002 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation's application of accounting policies since December 31, 2002.

Results of Operations

A discussion of the Corporation's results of operations is presented below. Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable. Taxable-equivalent adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free loans and securities by an amount equal to the taxes that would be paid if the income were fully taxable assuming a 35 percent federal income tax rate, thus making tax-exempt asset yields comparable to taxable asset yields.

In the third quarter of 2002, the Corporation discontinued the operations of the capital markets division of its investment banking subsidiary, Frost Securities, Inc. (FSI). All operating results, for this discontinued component of our operations have been reclassified to "discontinued operations" and are reported separately, net of tax, in the income statement. All prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.

Overview

Net income totaled $34.2 million and $65.1 million, or $0.65 and $1.25 diluted per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $32.7 million and $60.4 million, or $0.61 and $1.13 diluted per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and $30.9 million, or $0.59 diluted per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Income from continuing operations was equal to reported net income for the 2003 interim periods, while income from continuing operations totaled $33.1 million and $61.3 million, or $0.62 and $1.15 diluted per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Income from continuing operations does not include the net after-tax effect of losses from the discontinued FSI operations totaling $424 thousand and $927 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

Selected income statement data, returns on average assets and average equity and dividends per share for the comparable periods were as follows:

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.6 million, or 4.8 percent, and $4.7 million, or 7.8 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increase over the comparable three-month period was primarily the result of a $2.0 million decrease in the provision for possible loan losses and a $3.1 million increase in non-interest income, partly offset by a $2.7 million increase non-interest expense and an $810 thousand decrease in net interest income. The increase over the comparable six month period was primarily the result of a $459 thousand increase in net interest income, a $5.2 million decrease in the provision for possible loan losses and a $6.6 million increase in non-interest income. The impact of these items was partly offset by a $6.6 million increase in non-interest expense.

Net income for the second quarter of 2003 increased $3.4 million, or 10.9 percent, over the first quarter of 2003. The increase was primarily the result of a $560 thousand increase in net interest income, a $154 thousand decrease in the provision for possible loan losses, a $3.2 million increase in non-interest income and an $855 thousand decrease in non-interest expense. The favorable impact of these items resulted in a $1.4 million increase in income taxes.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Corporation's largest source of revenue, representing 59.4 percent of total revenue during the first half of 2003. Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin.


The general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions, are influenced by the Federal Reserve. The Corporation's loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate. The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit, began 2002 at 4.75 percent and remained stable until the fourth quarter when the rate decreased 50 basis points to 4.25 percent. During 2003, the prime rate remained at 4.25 percent until the end of the second quarter, when the rate decreased 25 basis points to 4.00 percent. The federal funds rate, which is the cost of immediately available overnight funds, decreased in a similar manner beginning 2002 at 1.75 percent and decreasing 50 basis points in the fourth quarter. During 2003, the federal funds rate remained at 1.25 percent until the end of the second quarter, when the rate decreased 25 basis points to 1.00 percent .

The Corporation's balance sheet is asset sensitive, meaning that earning assets generally reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities. Therefore, the Corporation's net interest margin is likely to increase in periods of rising interest rates in the market and decrease in periods of declining interest rates. The Corporation is primarily funded by core deposits, with demand deposits historically being a significant source of funds. This lower-cost funding base has historically had a positive impact on the Corporation's net interest income and net interest margin. However, in a sustained declining interest rate environment, such as the interest rate environment experienced since early 2001, the Corporation experiences compression of its net interest margin. This compression results from resistance to further reductions in interest rates paid on the Corporation's already low cost deposit base, which results in a disproportionately larger decrease in the yields on earning assets. Further analysis of the components of the Corporation's net interest margin is presented below.

The following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income and identifies the change due to differences in the average volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the change due to changes in the average interest rate on those assets and liabilities. The changes in net interest income due to changes in both average volume and average interest rate have been allocated to average volume or average interest rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each. The comparison between the first and second quarters of 2003 includes an additional change factor that shows the effect of the difference in the number of days in each period, as further discussed below.

					Second Quarter						Second Quarter						First Six Months
					2003 vs.						2003 vs.						2003 vs.
					Second Quarter						First Quarter						First Six Months
					2002						2003						2002


Due to changes in average volume					$	6,363					$	1,548					$	13,500
Due to changes in average interest rates						(7,091			)			(1,869				)		(12,877				)
Due to difference in the number days in each of the comparable periods						- -						880						- -

Total change					$	(728			)		$	559					$	623


Taxable-equivalent net interest income remained fairly stable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002. The lack of significant fluctuation between the comparable periods resulted as the positive impact of growth in the average volume of earning assets was offset by the negative impact of declining average interest rates. The average volume of earning assets for the first six months of 2003 increased $1.2 billion from the first six months of 2002. Over the same time frame, the net interest margin decreased 68 basis points.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 increased $559 thousand from the first quarter of 2003. The increase from the first quarter of 2003 was primarily due to an increase in the number of days in the quarter. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2003 included 91 days compared to 90 days for the first quarter of 2003. On an equivalent basis, removing the impact of the additional day from the second quarter total, net interest income would have decreased $321 thousand from the first quarter of 2003. This effective decrease in taxable-equivalent net interest income from the first quarter of 2003 was the result of a 15 basis point decrease in the net interest margin partly offset by a $306.7 million increase in the average volume of earning assets.

The majority of the growth in earning assets over the comparable periods was in federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Funding for this growth was primarily provided by increases in dollar-roll repurchase agreements. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Corporation began to leverage earning assets by utilizing dollar-roll repurchase agreements. By doing this, the Corporation is able to capitalize on the spread between the yield earned on federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements and the cost of the dollar-roll repurchase agreements. This spread has a positive effect on the dollar amount of net interest income; however, because the funds are invested in lower yielding federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, which had an average yield of 1.26 percent during the first six months of 2003, the Corporation's net interest margin is negatively impacted. The average yield on earnin g assets decreased from 5.87 percent for the first six months of 2002 to 4.79 percent for the first six months of 2003. Over the same time frame, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.60 percent for the first six months of 2002 to 1.06 percent for the first six months of 2003. As a result of these changes, the Corporation's net interest margin decreased from 4.72 percent and 4.70 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 to 3.95 percent and 4.02 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.

Other earning asset growth of significance during the first six months of 2003 was in U.S. government agency securities, which increased in average volume by $445.7 million over the comparable period in 2002 and had an average yield of 4.96 percent. Funding for this growth was primarily provided by deposit growth. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits was 0.94 percent and 0.56 percent during the first six months of 2003. The average volume of loans, the Corporation's primary category of earning assets, decreased $66.1 million during the first six months of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002 and had an average yield of 5.35 percent.

Non-Interest Income

The components of non-interest income were as follows:

		Three Months Ended											Six Months Ended

			June 30,					March 31,				June 30,			June 30,					June 30,

Total	$			55,195			$	51,973		$		52,139		$	107,168				$		100,598


Total non-interest income for the second quarter of 2003 increased $3.1 million, or 5.9 percent, from the second quarter of 2002 and increased $3.2 million, or 6.2 percent, from the first quarter of 2003. Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $6.6 million, or 6.5 percent, over the comparable period in 2002. Changes in the components of non-interest income are discussed below.

Trust fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $133 thousand, or 1.1 percent, and decreased $1.1 million, or 4.6 percent, from the comparable periods in 2002. Investment fees are the most significant component of trust fees, making up approximately 69.5 percent of total trust fees for the first six months of 2003. Investment and other custodial account fees are generally based on the market value of assets within a trust account. Volatility in the equity markets impacts the market value of trust assets and the related investment fees.

Trust fee income increased slightly over the comparable three-month period, as declines in estate fees and investment fees were offset by an increase in oil and gas trust management fees. The increase in oil and gas trust management fees, however, was not enough to offset the decreases in estate fees and investment fees, resulting in an overall decline in trust fees over the comparable six-month period. The declines in investment fees from the comparable three- and six-month periods were primarily due to weaker equity market conditions overall in 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002, despite equity market improvements during the second quarter of 2003.

Trust fee income for the second quarter of 2003 increased $1.3 million, or 12.3 percent, from the first quarter of 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase in investment fees, resulting from improvement in equity market conditions during the quarter, an increase in oil and gas trust management fees, and an increase in tax fees related to the preparation of tax returns for customer trust accounts. Tax fees are generally seasonal with the majority of such fees recognized during the second quarter.

At June 30, 2003, trust assets, including both managed assets and custody assets, were primarily composed of equity securities (40.4 percent of trust assets), fixed income securities (38.3 percent of trust assets) and cash equivalents (13.8 percent of trust assets). The estimated fair value of trust assets was approximately $13.4 billion (including managed assets of $6.2 billion and custody assets of $7.2 million) at June 30, 2003, compared to approximately $12.6 billion (including managed assets of $5.9 billion and custody assets of $6.7 million) at December 31, 2002 and approximately $12.9 billion (including managed assets of $5.9 billion and custody assets of $7.0 million) at June 30, 2002.

Service charges on deposit accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $2.2 million, or 11.1 percent, and $4.9 million, or 12.8 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases were primarily due to increases in overdraft fees on individual and commercial accounts and increases in treasury management revenues on commercial accounts. The increased treasury management revenues resulted primarily from a lower earnings credit rate as well as higher levels of billable services. The earnings credit rate is the value given to deposits maintained by treasury management customers. In a lower rate environment, deposit balances are not as valuable because of a lower earnings credit rate. This results in customers paying for most of their services through fees rather than through the use of deposit balances.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $648 thousand during the second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to increases in overdraft fees on individual accounts.

Insurance commissions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.0 million, or 18.0 percent, and $2.3 million, or 21.0 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases were primarily the combined result of continued selling efforts and the effect of a tighter market for certain products resulting in higher insurance premiums and related commission revenues. The Corporation also acquired a small insurance agency during the first quarter of 2003.

Insurance commissions for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $411 thousand, or 5.9 percent, from the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to normal variation in market demand for insurance products.

Other service charges and fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $565 thousand, or 11.3 percent, and $748 thousand, or 8.5 percent, from the comparable periods in 2002. The decreases were primarily due to decreases in income associated with the factoring of accounts receivable, brokerage commissions and investment banking corporate advisory fees. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation recognized $400 thousand in non-recurring fees related to a private placement. The Corporation also experienced lower letter of credit fees over the comparable six-month period due to the deferral of certain fees in accordance with a new accounting standard (see Note 13 - New Accounting Standards in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report). The decreases in other service charges and fees over the comparable three- and six-month periods were partly offset by the accelerated realization of deferred loan fees because of loan prepayments resulting from the lower interest rate environment and increases in other miscellaneous service charges.

Other service charges and fees for the second quarter of 2003 increased $791 thousand, or 21.7 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003. The increase was primarily due to increases in letter of credit fees realized due to increased volumes and amortization of previously deferred amounts and increased brokerage commissions and investment banking corporate advisory fees resulting from improving market conditions.

Other non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $410 thousand, or 4.2 percent, and $1.3 million, or 7.2 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases primarily resulted from increases in rebate income received from various insurance carriers (seasonal income related to the performance of insurance policies previously placed generally received in the first quarter of each year), lease rental income, check card income, royalty income from mineral interests and gains on sales of foreclosed assets and bank premises. Gains on sales of foreclosed assets and sales of bank premises totaled $862 thousand and $503 thousand, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $14 thousand and $47 thousand, respectively, during the comparable period in 2002. The increases in the aforementioned other non-interest income items were partly offset by decreases in a utomated services income generated from a data processing center sold in the first quarter of 2002, decreases in non-recurring other income items, and decreases in gains realized on the sale of student loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Corporation sold $117.5 million in student loans ($106.7 million of which occurred in the second quarter) with realized gains totaling $3.3 million compared to sales of $37.8 million in student loans (almost all of which occurred in the second quarter) with realized gains totaling $1.6 million during the comparable period 2003.

Other non-interest income for the second quarter of 2003 increased $853 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2003. The increase primarily resulted from increases in check card income, royalty income from mineral interests, non-recurring gains on sales of foreclosed assets and bank premises, gains realized on the sale of student loans partly offset by decreases in non-recurring other income items, annuity income and rebate income received from various insurance carriers.

Non-Interest Expense

The components of non-interest expense were as follows:

		Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended

			June 30,			March 31,		June 30,			June 30,		June 30,
			2003			2003		2002			2003		2002

Total	$			80,216	$	81,071	$	77,559		$	161,287	$		154,682


Total non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $2.7 million, or 3.4 percent, and $6.6 million, or 4.3 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $855 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2003. Changes in the components of non-interest expense are discussed below.

Salaries and wages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.5 million, or 4.6 percent, and $3.5 million, or 5.1 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases over the comparable periods are primarily related to merit increases, and commissions paid in connection with increased revenues associated with Frost Insurance Agency. Salaries and wages for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $974 thousand, or 2.7 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily related to a decrease in commissions paid due to declines in revenues associated with Frost Insurance Agency (including reversal of some previously accrued amounts). The Corporation also accrued and paid certain additional performance bonuses during the first quarter.

Employee benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $947 thousand, or 11.2 percent, and $2.8 million, or 16.3 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases are primarily related to increases in retirement plan expense, profit sharing plan expense, 401(k) matching expense and payroll taxes. Employee benefits for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $1.2 million, or 11.1 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to decreases in payroll taxes and 401(k) matching expense partly offset by increased profit sharing plan expense. Payroll taxes were higher during the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to the payment of taxes associated with incentive compensation payments.

Net occupancy expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 did not significantly fluctuate from the comparable periods in 2002. The Corporation experienced decreased lease expense resulting from the purchases of the twenty-one story Frost Bank office tower and the adjacent parking garage facility in downtown San Antonio in the second quarter of 2002. The Corporation also experienced an increase in parking garage income as a result of the purchase. The impact of these items was offset by higher depreciation expense on leasehold improvements, higher lease expense related to various other facilities and higher depreciation expense related to the purchased office tower and garage. Net occupancy expense for the second quarter of 2003 increased $302 thousand, or 4.3 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to increased depreciation on leasehold improvements and increased building maintenance and utilities costs.

Furniture and equipment expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $150 thousand, or 2.7 percent, and $465 thousand, or 4.1 percent, from the comparable periods in 2002. The decreases from 2002 are primarily related to decreases in furniture and equipment depreciation and software amortization partly offset by increases in repairs and maintenance expense and software maintenance expense. Furniture and equipment expense for the second quarter of 2003 did not significantly fluctuate compared to the first quarter of 2003 as increases in furniture and equipment depreciation, repairs and maintenance expense and software maintenance expense were offset by a decrease in expense related to service contracts.

Intangible amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $355 million, or 20.5 percent, and $547 million, or 15.1 percent, from the comparable periods in 2002. The decreases from 2002 are primarily related to the completion of the amortization of certain intangible assets. Intangible amortization for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $305 thousand, or 18.1 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to the completion of the amortization of certain intangible assets in the first quarter of 2003, partly offset by additional amortization related to intangible assets recorded during the first quarter of 2003 in connection with the acquisition of an insurance agency.

Other non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $620 thousand, or 3.0 percent, and $1.5 million, or 3.9 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increases from 2002 are primarily related to increases in attorney fees, advertising expenses, expenses related to leased properties and higher federal reserve service charges due to the lower interest rate environment. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2003 increased $1.4 million, or 6.9 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2003 primarily due increases in attorney fees, advertising expenses and other non-recurring expense items.

Results of Segment Operations

The Corporation's operations are managed along two operating segments: Banking and the Financial Management Group ("FMG"). A description of each business and the methodologies used to measure financial performance is described in Note 12 - Operating Segments in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Net income (loss) by operating segment is presented below:

Banking

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.7 million, or 5.2 percent, and $6.1 million, or 10.1 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increase over the comparable three-month period resulted primarily from a $1.9 million decrease in the provision for possible loan losses and a $2.9 million increase in non-interest income. The impact of these items was partly offset by a $411 thousand decrease in net interest income and a $2.2 million increase in non-interest expense. The increase over the comparable six-month period resulted primarily from a $1.1 million increase in net interest income, a $5.2 million decrease in the provision for possible loan losses and a $7.4 million increase in non-interest income. The impact of these items was partly offset by a $5.0 million increase in non-interest expense.

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $411 thousand, or 0.5 percent, and increased $1.1 million, or 0.7 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002. The lack of significant fluctuation between the comparable periods resulted as the positive impact of growth in the average volume of earning assets was offset by the negative impact of declining average interest rates. The impact of the increase in the average volume of earning assets was somewhat constrained as the majority of the growth in earning assets was in lower-yielding federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, which also led to a decrease in net interest margins over the comparable periods. See analysis of net interest income included in the section captioned "Net Interest Income" included elsewhere in this discussion.

The provision for possible loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $3.5 million and $7.0 million compared to $5.4 million and $12.2 million for the comparable periods in 2002. See analysis of the provision for possible loan losses included in the section captioned "Allowance for Possible Loan Losses" included elsewhere in this discussion.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $2.9 million, or 7.8 percent, and $7.4 million, or 10.5 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and insurance commissions. See analysis of service charges on deposit accounts and insurance commissions included in the section captioned "Non-Interest Income" included elsewhere in this discussion.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $2.2 million, or 3.4 percent, and $5.0 million, or 3.9 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increase was primarily related to increases in salaries and wages and employee benefits. Combined, these categories of non-interest expense increased $2.2 million and $5.5 million over the comparable three- and six-month periods. The increase was primarily the result of merit increases, increases in commissions paid in connection with increased revenues associated with FIA, increases in payroll taxes and increases in employee benefit plan expenses.

FIA, which is included in the Banking operating segment, had gross revenues of $6.9 million and $15.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $5.7 million and $12.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30 2002. Insurance commissions were the largest component of these revenues, increasing $1.1 million, or 20.6 percent, and $2.5 million, or 22.0 percent, over the comparable three and six month periods. The increases were primarily the result of continued selling efforts and the effect of a tighter market resulting in higher insurance premiums and related commission revenues. The increase over the comparable six-month period also included increases in rebate income received from various insurance carriers related to the performance of insurance policies previously placed. The rebate income is seasonal in nature and is generally received in the first quarter of each year. < /TD>

Financial Management Group

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $732 thousand, or 24.5 percent, and $2.7 million, or 43.8 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The decrease from the comparable three-month period was primarily due to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income combined with increases in salaries and wages, employee benefits and other non-interest expense. The decrease from the comparable six-month period was primarily due to a decrease in trust fees in addition to fluctuations in other income and expense components similar to those that affected the comparable three-month period.

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $397 thousand, or 33.1 percent, and $644 thousand, or 27.9 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002 primarily because the lower interest rate environment has reduced the funds transfer price paid on FMG's securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $391 thousand, or 2.6 percent, and $1.7 million, or 5.7 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002. The decline from the comparable three-month period was primarily due to decreases in service charges and other non-interest income partly offset by a slight increase in trust fees. The decline from the comparable six-month period was primarily due to decreases in trust fees and services charges.

Trust fee income is the most significant income component for FMG. Trust fee income increased slightly over the comparable three-month period, as declines in estate fees and investment fees were offset by an increase in oil and gas trust management fees. The increase in oil and gas trust management fees, however, was not enough to offset the decreases in estate fees and investment fees, resulting in an overall decline in trust fees over the comparable six-month period. Investment fees are the most significant component of trust fees, making up approximately 69.5 percent of total trust fees for the first six months of 2003. The declines in investment fees over the comparable three- and six-month periods were primarily due to weaker market conditions overall in 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002, despite market improvements during the second quarter of 2003. See analysis of trust fees included in the section captioned "Non-Interest Income" included elsew here in this discussion.

The decreases in service charges over the comparable three- and six-month periods were primarily due to declines in mutual fund and money market fees. The decrease in other non-interest income from the comparable three-month period was primarily due to declines in brokerage commission income and income from sales of annuity products.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $123 thousand, or 1.0 percent, and $1.4 million, or 5.8 percent, over the comparable periods in 2002 primarily due to increases in salaries and wages, employee benefits and other non-interest expense. The increases in salaries and wages and employee benefits were primarily the result of merit increases, increases in payroll taxes and increases in employee benefit plan expenses. The increases in other non-interest expense were primarily due to general increases in the various components of other non-interest expense, including cost allocations.

Non-Banks

The $184 thousand and $431 thousand decreases in the net loss for the Non-Banks operating segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared the same periods in 2002 were primarily due to an increase in royalty income from mineral interests and other miscellaneous items.

Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2002 the Company discontinued all capital market related activities of Frost Securities, Inc. See Note 11 - Discontinued Operations in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Income Taxes

The Corporation recognized income tax expense on continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 of $16.0 million and $30.6 million, for effective rates of 31.9 percent and 32.0 percent, compared to $15.7 million and $28.9 million, for effective rates of 32.1 percent and 32.0 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent during the comparable periods primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities and life insurance policies.

Average Balance Sheet

Average assets of $9.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.5 billion, or 18.8 percent, over average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Average loans for the first six months of 2003 were $4.5 billion representing a 1.4 percent decrease from the first six months of 2002. Average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements for the first six months of 2003 increased 706.5 percent from the first six months of 2002. The increase in average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements was primarily the result of the Corporation's use of dollar-roll repurchase agreements to capitalize on yield spreads. See analysis of dollar-roll transactions under the section captioned "Net Interest Income" included elsewhere in this discussion. Total deposits averaged $7.5 billion for the first six months of 2003, increasing $720.3 million, or 10.7& nbsp;percent, compared to the first six months of 2002.

Loans

Loans were as follows as of the dates indicated:

Loans totaled $4.5 billion at June 30, 2003 and remained relatively stable compared to March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Excluding shared national credits purchased ("SNCs"), 1-4 family residential mortgages, the indirect lending portfolio and student loans, loans increased 1.3 percent from March 31, 2003 and 1.6 percent from December 31, 2002. SNCs, which are discussed further below, are participations purchased from upstream financial organizations and tend to be larger in size than the Corporation's originated portfolio. The Corporation stopped originating mortgage and indirect consumer loans during 2000, and as such, these portfolios are excluded when analyzing the growth of the loan portfolio. Student loans are similarly excluded because the Corporation primarily originates these loans for resale. Accordingly, student loans are classified as held for sale and are generally sold after the deferment period has ended, how ever, from time to time, the Corporation has sold such loans prior to the end of the deferment period.

At June 30, 2003, the majority of the loan portfolio was comprised of commercial and industrial loans, which totaled $2.1 billion, or 47.3 percent of total loans, and real estate loans, which totaled $2.0 billion, or 45.9 percent of total loans. The real estate total includes both commercial and consumer balances.

Excluding SNCs, commercial and industrial loans increased 0.7 percent from March 31, 2003, and 0.8 percent from December 31, 2002 to $1.9 billion. The Corporation's commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small, medium and large businesses. The purpose of these loans varies from supporting seasonal working capital needs to term financing of equipment. While some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis, most are secured by the assets being financed with collateral margins that are consistent with the Corporation's loan policy guidelines. The commercial and industrial loan portfolio also includes the commercial lease and asset-based lending portfolios. At June 30, 2003, commercial leases totaled $59.3 million and asset-based loans totaled $48.4 million compared to $60.7 million and $47.5 million at March 31, 2003 and $57.6 million and $49.8 million at December&nb sp;31, 2002.

The Corporation's SNC portfolio totaled $176.9 million at June 30, 2003, decreasing from $225.7 million at March 31, 2003 and $239.4 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease during 2003 was due to the repayment of several large credits. At June 30, 2003, 57.4 percent and 12.2 percent of outstanding SNCs were related to the energy industry and the brewing/distilling industry, respectively. The remaining SNCs were diversified throughout various other industries, with no other single industry exceeding more than 10 percent of the total SNC portfolio. Additionally, almost all of the outstanding balance of SNCs were included in the commercial and industrial portfolio, with the remainder included in the real estate categories. SNC participations are originated in the normal course of business to meet the needs of the Corporation's customers. As a matter of policy, the Corporation generally only participates in SNCs for companies hea dquartered in or which have significant operations within the Corporation's market areas. In addition, the Corporation must have direct access to the company's management, an existing banking relationship or the expectation of broadening the relationship with other banking products and services.

Real estate loans totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 2003 and remained relatively stable compared to December 31, 2002. Excluding 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, which are discussed below, total real estate loans increased $30.5 million, or 1.6 percent from March 31, 2003 and $49.0 million, or 2.6 percent, from December 31, 2002. Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003 and represented 52.3 percent of total real estate loans. The majority of this portfolio consists of commercial real estate mortgages, which includes both permanent and intermediate term loans. The Corporation's primary focus for the commercial real estate portfolio has been growth in loans secured by owner-occupied properties. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Consequently, these loans must undergo the analysis and underwriting process of a comm ercial and industrial loan, as well as that of a real estate loan. At June 30, 2003, approximately 51 percent of the Corporation's commercial real estate loans were secured by owner-occupied properties.

The consumer loan portfolio, including all consumer real estate, totaled $750.5 million at June 30, 2003, decreasing 7.4 percent from March 31, 2003 and 8.8 percent from December 31, 2002. However, excluding 1-4 family residential mortgages, indirect loans and student loans, total consumer loans decreased 5.8 million, or 1.0 percent, from March 31, 2003 and $12.7 million, or 2.2 percent from December 31, 2002.

As the following table illustrates as of the dates indicated, the consumer loan portfolio has four distinct segments, including consumer real estate, consumer non-real estate, indirect consumer loans and 1-4 family residential mortgages.

				June 30,				March 31,			December 31,			June 30,
					2003				2003			2002			2002


Consumer real estate:
Construction				$	35,349			$	45,230		$	45,152		$	42,203
Land					5,553				6,188			8,231			10,578
Other consumer real estate					276,729				273,601			276,429			283,291

Total consumer real estate					317,631				325,019			329,812			336,072
Consumer non-real estate					272,327				304,236			289,190			259,701
Indirect					14,849				19,746			25,262			42,908
1-4 Family residential mortgages					145,714				161,248			179,077			212,204

Total consumer loans				$	750,521			$	810,249		$	823,341		$	850,885


The consumer non-real estate loan portfolio primarily consists of automobile loans, unsecured revolving credit products, personal loans secured by cash and cash equivalents, student loans and other similar types of credit facilities. Consumer non-real estate loans decreased 5.8 percent from December 31, 2002. The increase in consumer non-real estate loans as of March 31, 2003 was primarily related to an increase in student loans, however, the Corporation sold approximately $37.8 million of these loans during the second quarter of 2003. Excluding student loans, consumer non-real estate loans decreased $3.3 million, or 1.3 percent from December 31, 2002.

The indirect consumer loan segment has continued to decrease since the Corporation's decision to discontinue originating these types of loans during 2001. At June 30, 2003, the majority of the portfolio was comprised of purchased home improvement and home equity loans (55.9 percent), as well as new and used automobile loans (41.5 percent). The portfolio is not expected to completely pay off before December 31, 2003 due to the longer life of the non-auto loans in this portfolio. However, the portfolio is expected to decrease by that time.

The Corporation also discontinued originating 1-4 family residential mortgage loans in 2000. Although this portfolio will continue to decline due to the decision to withdraw from the mortgage origination business, high levels of mortgage refinances due to the low interest rate environment have accelerated the decrease.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets and accruing past due loans were as follows:

	June 30,		March 31,		December 31,		June 30,
		2003		2003		2002		2002


Non-accrual loans:
Real estate	$	15,655	$	14,053	$	11,702	$	13,087
Commercial and industrial		18,968		21,621		19,878		15,423
Other		2,530		3,426		3,281		1,579

Total non-accrual loans		37,153		39,100		34,861		30,089

Foreclosed assets:
Real estate		6,360		8,961		8,005		3,558
Other		43		48		42		109

Total foreclosed assets		6,403		9,009		8,047		3,667


Total non-performing assets	$	43,556	$	48,109	$	42,908	$	33,756


Accruing Past Due Loans
30 to 89 days past due	$	29,473	$	40,836	$	30,766	$	39,605
90 or more days past due		6,853		11,290		9,081		5,801

Total accruing loans past due	$	36,326	$	52,126	$	39,847	$	45,406

Non-performing assets at June 30, 2003 increased 1.5 percent from December 31, 2002 totals and decreased 9.5 percent from March 31, 2003 totals. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.97 percent at June 30, 2003, 1.06 percent at March 31, 2003 and 0.95 percent at December 31, 2002. The increase during the first six months of 2003 was related to real estate loans.

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deems the collectibility of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by regulatory requirements. Once interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged to current year operations. Subsequent receipts on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured.

Foreclosed assets represent property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans. Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the loan balance or estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market indications and applicable regulations. Write-downs are provided for subsequent declines in value and are included in other non-interest expense along with other expenses related to maintaining the properties.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms but for which management has concerns about the ability of an obligor to continue to comply with repayment terms because of the obligor's potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans closely and reviews their performance on a regular basis. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had $18.1 million in loans of this type which are not included in either of the non-accrual or 90 days past due loan categories. Approximately 59 percent of the total is related to a single credit to a company in several gas-related and equipment distribution businesses. Weakness in this company's operating performance combined with a slowdown in certain business sectors has caused the Corporation to heighten the attention given to this credit.

The after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) of lost interest from non-performing assets was $378 thousand and $784 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $303 thousand and $864 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses totaled $83.4 million, or 1.87 percent of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $83.4 million, or 1.85 percent of loans at March 31, 2003, $82.6 million, or 1.83 percent of loans at December 31, 2002 and $78.6 million, or 1.75 percent of loans at June 30, 2002. The allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans was 224.5 percent at June 30, 2003 compared to 213.3 percent at March 31, 2003, 236.9 percent at December 31, 2002 and 261.1 percent at June 30, 2002.

Charge-offs are loan balances that have been written off against the allowance for possible loan losses once the loan is determined to be uncollectible. Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended

		June 30,				March 31,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,
		2003				2003			2002			2003			2002


Real estate	$		(42	)	$	285		$	808		$	243		$		867
Commercial and industrial			2,971			2,211			2,942			5,182				4,842
Consumer			517			278			351			795				764
Other, including foreign			-			-			18							27

Total net charge-offs	$		3,446		$	2,774		$	4,119		$	6,220		$		6,500


Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans			0.31	%		0.25	%		0.36	%		0.28	%			0.29	%

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management, based on estimated probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for possible loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the level of net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for possible loan losses totaled $3.4 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, decreasing $2.0 million and $5.2 million from the comparable periods in 2002. Higher provisions were considered necessary during 2002 due to the overall uncertainty in the economy. The provision for possible loan losses for the second quarter of 2003 decreased $154 thousand from the first quarter of 2003. The decrease is reflective of declines in non-performing and past due loans. Management believes the current level of the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate based on current loan portfolio quality. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses change, the Corporation's estimate of probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the level of future provisions for possible loan losses.

Capital and Liquidity

At June 30, 2003, shareholders' equity totaled $749.8 million compared to $718.3 million at March 31, 2003, $703.8 million at December 31, 2002 and $647.8 million at June 30, 2002. In addition to net income of $65.1 million, other significant changes in shareholders' equity during the first six months of 2003 included $23.6 million of dividends paid. The accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders' equity totaled $32.4 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $26.1 million as of March 31, 2003 and $32.5 million as of December 31, 2002. These fluctuations resulted from changes in the fair value of securities available for sale, net of taxes. Under regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale does not increase or reduce regulatory capital and is not included in the calculation of risk-based capital and leverage ratios. Regulatory agencies for banks and bank holding companies utilize capital guidelines designed to measure Tier 1 and total capital and take into consideration the risk inherent in both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. See Note 7 - Capital in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

The Corporation paid quarterly dividends of $0.22 and $0.24 per common share during the first and second quarters of 2003, respectively, and quarterly dividends of $0.215 and $0.22 per common share during the first and second quarters of 2002, respectively. This equates to a dividend payout ratio of 36.1 percent and 36.3 percent during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 34.4 percent and 36.8 percent during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. In addition, the Corporation initiated a program during the third quarter of 2001 to repurchase up to 2.6 million shares of its common stock over a two-year period, from time to time, at various prices in the open market or through private transactions. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares under this program during the first six months of 2003. As of June 30, 2003, 1.2 million shares at a cost of $39.2 million had been repurchased u nder this program.

Funding sources available at the holding company level include a $25.0 million short-term line of credit with another financial institution. The line of credit matures annually and bears interest at a fixed LIBOR-based rate or floats with the prime rate. There were no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at June 30, 2003.

Liquidity measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The Corporation seeks to ensure these needs are met at a reasonable cost by maintaining a level of liquid funds through asset/liability management.

Asset liquidity is provided by liquid assets which are readily marketable or pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.

Liability liquidity is provided by access to funding sources which include core deposits and correspondent banks in the Corporation's natural trade area that maintain accounts with and sell federal funds to Frost Bank, as well as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements from upstream banks. The liquidity position of the Corporation is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.
