Compensation and Benefits Committee of |
|
The 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of |
|
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates |
|
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. |
|
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. |
|
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. |

The 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of |
|
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates |
|
Notes to Financial Statements |
|
December 31, 2005 and 2004 |
|
1. Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Basis of Presentation. The accounting records of The 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Its Affiliates (the Plan) are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits are recorded when paid. |
|
Investments. The Plan's investments are composed of common stock of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (CFBI), mutual funds, common collective trusts and loans to participants. Investments in CFBI common stock and mutual funds are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices on the valuation date. Investments in common collective trusts are stated at fair value as determined by the issuer based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Changes in fair market value and gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments. Loans to participants are valued at cost. |
|
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis. |
|
Administrative Expenses. Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by CFBI. |
|
Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
2. Description of the Plan |
|
The following is a general description of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. |
|
General. The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and covers full-time employees who complete 90 consecutive days of service and part-time employees who complete 90 consecutive days of service and are scheduled to work more than 1,000 hours in a year. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). |
|
Contributions and Investment Options. Participants may contribute an amount not less than 2% and not exceeding 20% of their compensation, limited by 401(k) regulations, and may direct investments of their accounts into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants are able to invest their contributions in these funds in 1% increments. CFBI matches 100% of the participants' contributions up to 6% of the participants' compensation. The match is initially invested in the common stock of CFBI. Each participant may elect to direct the investment of the matching contributions into other allowed investment options by electing to make investment transfers after such contributions are allocated to his (her) account. |
|
Participant Accounts . Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) CFBI's contributions and (b) plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. |
|
Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in all contributions (both those made by the participant and by CFBI) plus actual earnings thereon. |
||||||
|
Participant Loans and Withdrawals. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum of $50,000, reduced by the highest amount of any loan outstanding within the previous twelve months, or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates. Principal and interest are paid ratably through semimonthly payroll deductions. Subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations, participants may make hardship withdrawals from a portion of their 401(k) contributions to pay for an immediate and heavy financial need. |
||||||
|
Payment of Benefits. In the event of disability, retirement or death, a participant or the participant's beneficiary will receive a lump-sum payment equal to the amount of his (her) account in the Plan and all amounts that have been allocated to his (her) plan account. In the event of termination of employment for any other reason, the participant is entitled to the vested portion of his (her) account in the Plan and all vested amounts that have been allocated to his (her) plan account. Terminated participants are required to take a distribution upon reaching normal retirement age (currently 65). Active participants have the option at age 70 1/2 as to whether or not they wish to begin minimum required distributions. |
||||||
|
Plan Termination. Although it has not expressed any present intent to do so, CFBI has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. |
||||||
|

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet paid as of that date. |
||||||
|
4. Income Tax Status |
||||||
|
The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated December 4, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. |
||||||
|
5. Investments |
||||||
|
The following presents individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at year end: |

6. Party-In-Interest Transactions |
||||||
|
Parties-in-interest are defined under Department of Labor regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering services to the Plan, the employer, and certain others. Accordingly, transactions conducted by the Trustee, Frost National Bank; the Plan administrator/custodian, AMVESCAP National Trust Company's retirement services division; and CFBI and its Affiliates, qualify as party-in-interest transactions. |
||||||
|
Plan assets are held and managed by the Trustee and the Plan administrator. The Trustee invests cash received, interest and dividend income as directed by the participants of the Plan. The Plan administrator also makes distributions to participants. |
||||||
|
Certain administrative functions are performed by employees of CFBI or its Affiliates; however, no such employees receive compensation from the Plan. Certain other administrative expenses are paid directly by CFBI. |
||||||
|
7. Risks and Uncertainties |
||||||
|
The Plan provides for various investments in common stock, mutual funds, common collective trusts, and short-term investments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances. |
