Since its opening, IBC has grown from less than $1 million in assets to more than $11.8 billion, making it one of Texas’ largest holding companies. IBC now serves 88 communities throughout Texas and Oklahoma with 217 branches and more than 370 ATMs and provides full service banking seven days a week. Furthermore, customers can bank during late hours that are convenient for them and can even bank while they shop at many HEBs, Wal-Marts, Krogers, Randalls, and inside local Malls. Performance In 2010, Hispanic Business Magazine ranked IBC as the number one Hispanic-owned financial institution in the nation. The bank was also the number one Hispanic-owned business in Texas and fourth nationally. Additionally, Forbes Magazine ranked IBC in 10th place on their America’s Best Bank’s list. On their 2008 list of Top Performing Banks, American Bankers Association placed IBC as #11. In 2008, IBC Bank was recognized by Bank Director Magazine as one of the nation’s largest banks and thrifts with the most assets and highest five-year return on equity. IBC placed in the top 150 out of more than 8,500 U.S. banks in the two categories. IBC is proud of its record of never having experienced a down year, a record that continues to inspire confidence among our customers. Our Business Philosophy IBC’s successes have come as a result of an aggressive and innovative attitude to “Do More” for our customers and our communities. This philosophy of investing time and resources does not end in the development of products and services. We encourage our more than 3,700 employees and officers to serve on boards and to volunteer in civic groups and charitable organizations supporting the arts, education, neighborhood revitalization programs, economic development, medical research and many other causes. “We Do More” reflects our commitment and dedication to the growth and success of our customers and our communities. It means we go above and beyond to respond to our customers’ needs. In 2009, the Employee Advisory Boards, corporate wide, spent more than 23,000 hours volunteering with various charities. Excellence in Performance For dedication to the community, IBC was awarded the Cornerstone Award from the Texas Bankers Foundation in 2005 for It’s a Brighter Christmas, a holiday-focused giving initiative and again in 2009 for Operation Care Drop, a donation drive benefiting our troops. In 2010, IBC Bank was awarded the LIFE Award from the Texas Banker’s Foundation for its Money Buzz program, a financial literacy program that teaches students the importance of saving. IBC has also been honored by Texas Governor Rick Perry with the Governor’s Volunteer Award. Furthermore, National Banker’s Association has awarded IBC their coveted High Performance Bank Award many times in recognition of leadership qualities and excellence in overall performance and service. IBC has also received the prestigious George Washington Honor Medal from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge and has been recognized time and time again by United Way with the Corporate Excellence Award for its strong community support. The phenomenal success of IBC and its perfect record of consecutive years of growth and profitability are directly attributed to the dynamic leadership of Chairman of the Board and CEO Dennis E. Nixon and the IBC team that surrounds him. For his outstanding generosity, United Way honored Nixon with its acclaimed Platinum Corazón Award. His myriad of civic involvements, awards and recognitions have been on a national and international level. Other recognitions include the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame Award, the Paul Harris Fellow Award given by Rotary International for outstanding community service, and the Eleanor Roosevelt Humanities Award given by the State of Israel for outstanding services to humanity.

Website: http://www.bradleysmotors.com/ Annual Report: Overview: BRADLEYS’ MISSION: TO EXCEED OUR CUSTOMERS’ EXPECTATIONS EVERY TIME For over 80 years, industrial reliability and maintenance professionals have trusted their electric motors and generators to Bradleys for repair, rewinding, testing and reverse engineering. An ISO 9001:2008 registered firm, Bradleys is recognized throughout the United States as the leader in large electric motor repair and load testing, employing the latest methods and technology to deliver exceptional service to its customers. The company adheres to all EASA and IEEE standards and enjoys one of the best safety ratings in the industry. Bradleys employs a “good neighbor” environmental policy and voluntarily closed its industrial effluent drain to the small municipality of Gregory, TX. It implemented a waste minimization program designed to separate, reduce and recycle all industrial waters through its passive filtration water reclamation system. This uniquely designed system enables Bradleys to reuse this precious water resource for months before proper disposal is necessary. The company recycles all solvents and utilizes non-toxic, environmentally-safe chemicals whenever possible. The company is especially proud of its track record of creating opportunities for women, minorities and military veterans. OUR HISTORY The Great Depression held few good tidings for citizens of Corpus Christi, TX, much like countless thousands across the nation. In those shaky and economically troubled times, an optimistic family made a bold move to open an enterprise on September 30, 1930. Founded as the Fixit Shop, it would prosper and emerge as one of South Texas’ major employers and industries, known today as Bradleys, Inc., and grew larger over the decades, moving its operations several times as demand for the company’s services grew. Today, Bradleys resides on 9.3 acres in Gregory, Texas with state of the art, "green built" energy efficient and energy-generating facilities. The campus includes 110,000 square feet of electric motor repair, rewinding, load, electrical and mechanical testing and climate-controlled motor storage buildings, as well as full service CNC shop, and a 100 ton bridge crane, with capability of lifting up to 200,000 lbs. The company employs over 100 highly trained, expert motor repair professionals.

Buckeye Cleaning Center – Corpus Christi Website: www.BuckeyeInternational.com Overview: Buckeye Cleaning Center is a manufacturer and distributor of cleaning and janitorial supplies. Advertising/Marketing, Arts, Business Services, Chemicals, Communications/Media, International Affairs & Development, Manufacturing, other. About Us: Buckeye International, Inc. is the innovative leader in the cleaning/maintenance products industry with a heritage marked by a history of quality products, profitable operations, and consistent financial strength. Our company was founded in 1844 in Dayton, Ohio as the J.P. Davies Company, producer of oils for oil-burning lamp and lubrication uses. The discovery of petroleum in 1888 led to a shift in production to bar soap manufacturing. J.P. Davies Company became the first company to market chip soap in a box on a commercial basis, beginning in 1892. In 1905, we became the first company to package chip soap for household use. The J.P. Davies Company was incorporated under Ohio law as the Davies-Young Soap Company in 1914. The nut of the buckeye tree, a symbol of luck to many Ohioans, inspired the Buckeye brand name for our soap and other cleaning products. The Buckeye brand name was registered in 1922. In 1972, Davies-Young Soap Company relocated its corporate headquarters, research facilities, and product operations to St. Louis, Missouri, and with our growth in international business, changed our name to Buckeye International, Inc., in 1990. Today, all of our products bear the Buckeye brand name and are used throughout the world in hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, and industrial and retail facilities. Beginning in 1975, Buckeye became one of the first in its industry to emphasize worker and environmental safety through better products and packaging. Instead of following the rest of the industry, Buckeye decided to step ahead and develop its own patented chemistry just as effective as those containing butyl, yet much safer to work with. Our patented Liquescent®technology was the way of the future for Buckeye. This water-based technology not only strengthens the cleaning power of Buckeye products, but it also removes hazardous chemical ingredients, such as butyl, ammonia, solvents, and alcohol bases. Buckeye continues to be the innovative leader through its product proportioning systems including the patented Action Control System II and the Smart System. Buckeye was the first company in the maintenance cleaning products industry to introduce the "bag-in-a-box" concept. Our Action Pacs utilize this idea and contain 1/12 the non-biodegradable materials of a standard five-gallon pail. Packaging innovations continued with the Buckeye Smart Sac. This packaging contains 60% less plastic than rigid containers and is designed for use in the lockable, easy-to-use, and efficient Smart System™. Packaging is just another way Buckeye uses innovative ideas to make safer products that are more convenient than ever to use. Buckeye doesn't stop all this innovation with products and packaging. Our company leads the way in providing superior customer service as well. From specialized training programs for end-users to timely deliveries and professional support, Buckeye customers know that they're getting the most innovative service and products in the industry.
