REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 401(k)

    Profit Sharing Plan Committee and Participants

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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 audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i - schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

A. General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time and part-time employees of Prosperity Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc., who have completed at least three (3) months of service and are twenty-one (21) years of age or older. An employee’s entry date is the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date they satisfy the eligibility requirements. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

B. Contributions

Each year a participant may contribute up to the maximum amount allowable of their total salary on a pre-tax basis. If a participant is age fifty (50) or older, they may elect to defer additional amounts as catch-up contributions. Participants may change their contribution percentage on the first day of each plan quarter or stop contributing at any time. Participants are also permitted to deposit into the Plan distributions from other plans and certain IRAs as rollover contributions.

The Bank, at its discretion, may contribute to the Plan, a matching contribution which is determined annually. In 2011, the Bank matched fifty percent (50%) of the participants’ contributions subject to certain limitations, excluding catch-up contributions, up to fifteen percent (15%) of their eligible compensation on a pay period basis.

 

C. Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) employer matching contributions and (b) Plan earnings (losses), and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

D. Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings (losses) thereon. Vesting in the employer matching contribution of participant accounts plus actual earnings (losses) thereon is based on years of continuous service. To qualify for a year of service for vesting purposes, the participant must complete one thousand (1,000) hours of service in that calendar year. Participants vest twenty percent (20%) per year after 2 years of service and are one hundred percent (100%) vested after six years of service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

 

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

 

E. Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or fifty percent (50%) of their vested account balance. Loan terms generally range from 1—5 years, but can be longer if the loan is used to purchase a principal residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with the local prevailing rates. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. A participant may have only one outstanding loan at any time.

 

F. Payment of Benefits

A participant may receive a lump-sum amount, equal to the vested value of their account, due to a separation of service, death, disability or retirement. The Plan does permit hardship distributions. Hardship withdrawals are governed by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations and are permitted to satisfy certain immediate and heavy financial needs. In-service distributions are not permitted.

 

G. Forfeitures

Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used by the Plan for several purposes, such as the payment of Plan administrative expenses or the reduction of employer matching contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2011, $47,399 in forfeitures were used to pay Plan administrative expenses and $132,034 were used to reduce employer matching contributions. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the forfeitures account had a balance of $101,586 and $204,870, respectively.

 

H. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Bank has the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become one hundred percent (100%) vested in their accounts. The Bank will direct the distribution of participants’ accounts in a manner permitted by the Plan as soon as practicable.

 

I. Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct their contributions in various investment options totaling one hundred percent (100%). Participants may change their investment options at any time. Employer matching contributions are matched to the funds designated by the participant.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements and supplemental schedule have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

B. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

C. Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.

 

D. Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

E. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements, adding new disclosure requirements for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. The Plan prospectively adopted the new guidance in 2010, except for the Level 3 disclosures, which were adopted in 2011. These adoptions did not materially affect the Plan’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820 to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Plan’s management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

 

F. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments are reported at fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements. Valuations of the Plan assets are generally made every business day. Net depreciation in fair value of investments includes realized gains and losses on investments sold during the year and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year-end. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

F. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition (Continued)

The Plan is invested in the Reliance Trust Company Stable Value Fund Collective Investment Trust (“Reliance Investment Trust”), which invests solely in the MetLife Group Annuity Contract (the “Contract”). The Contract is a guaranteed investment contract.

Investment contracts held by defined contribution plans are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment contract as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

 

G. Administrative Expenses

Fees and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, to the extent not paid by the Bank, are charged to and paid from the Plan’s assets.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Plan utilizes the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, with respect to its investments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

   

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

 

 

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. Common Stock: Common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual security is traded.

Mutual Funds: Investments in registered investment companies are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices of the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

Collective Investment Trust: The Plan’s investment in the Reliance Investment Trust is valued at the fair value of the Contract as determined by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) based on prices of the underlying investments in MetLife separate accounts. MetLife guarantees that the rate will never be less than zero. MetLife’s estimated value of the guarantee is presented as a wrapper. The fair value of the wrapper is determined by the discounted revenue method, being 15 basis points of the guaranteed value over five years discounted by the LIBOR swap curve. If a participating plan terminates participation in the trust, the lesser of the guaranteed (contract) value or the fair value will be received.

Money Market Funds: Money market funds are valued at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair values of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of:

NOTE 5 - CREDIT RISK

The Plan provides for various investment options of stocks, mutual funds, fixed income securities, and other investment securities. 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 change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the amounts reported in participant accounts.

NOTE 6 - TAX STATUS

The Plan adopted a prototype nonstandardized profit sharing plan with CODA established by Alliance Benefit Group of Houston Inc. The prototype plan sponsor obtained a favorable opinion letter dated March 31, 2008. According to the prototype plan, the Plan’s assets are qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Plan’s income is exempt from income taxes. Various changes related to the operation of the Plan have been made to the Plan document. The Plan has not requested a determination letter from the IRS, but the Bank believes the Plan qualifies and operates as designed. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken.

NOTE 6 - TAX STATUS (CONTINUED)

 

The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

NOTE 7 - PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Plan allows transactions with certain parties who may perform services or have fiduciary responsibilities to the Plan, including the Bank. Certain Plan investments are shares of various investments that are owned and managed by TD Ameritrade Trust Company (“TDATC”), who has been designated as trustee. The Plan invests in common stock of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. and issues loans to participants, which are secured by the balances in the participants’ accounts. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. There have been no known prohibited transactions with parties-in-interest.
