UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations, have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the results of the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Company is a multi-bank financial holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nebraska and Wisconsin. 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation is listed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Per Share Data

Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted quarterly per share data includes the diluted effect of 449,647 and 274,656 shares issuable under options granted by the Company at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Diluted year-to-date income per share includes the dilutive effect of 359,798 and 266,801 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted by the Company at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase 194,428 and 498,100 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value MeasurementsIn September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Statement is applicable under other accounting pronouncements that require fair value recognition. It does not create new fair value measurements; however, it provides increased consistency in the application of various fair value measurements. The Company adopted this Statement on January 1, 2008 as discussed further in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company’s adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS –(CONTINUED)

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)

Business CombinationsIn December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations”. The purpose of this statement is to improve the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It also retains from the original pronouncement, SFAS 141, the requirement that the acquisition method (purchase method) be used in all business combinations and the guidance for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply this Statement before that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It eliminates the former minority interest presentation. This statement also requires that the parent recognizes a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral securing the loan.

7. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and futures contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Contract or Notional Amount(in thousands):

	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007
Commitments to extend credit for loans (excluding credit card loans)	$	1,326,167	$	1,302,101
Commitments to extend credit under credit card loans		1,059,513		1,013,317
Commercial letters of credit		5,079		6,155
Standby letters of credit		279,120		291,661
Futures contracts		41,400		14,900
Forward foreign exchange contracts		3,948		10,295
Spot foreign exchange contracts		14,814		17,475

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter-claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

8. Business Segment Reporting

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into six major segments, as shown below (collectively, “Business Segments”). The Business Segments are differentiated based on the products and services provided. Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on allocation methodologies in effect at June 30, 2008, consistent with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.

The following summaries provide information about the activities of each segment:

Commercial Banking and Lending serves the commercial lending and leasing as well as the capital markets needs of the Company’s mid-market businesses and governmental entities by offering various products and services. The commercial loan and leasing group provides commercial loans and lines of credit, letters of credit, and loan syndication services.

9. Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Fair value determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations

where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis as of June 30, 2008(in thousands):

10. FDIC One-Time Assessment Credit

Effective November 17, 2006, the FDIC implemented a one time credit of $4.7 billion to eligible institutions. The purpose of the credit was to recognize contributions made by certain institutions to capitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund, which have now been merged into the Deposit Insurance Fund. The affiliate banks of the Company are eligible institutions and have received notice from the FDIC that their remaining share of the credit is approximately $3.6 million at June 30, 2008. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements as it represents contingent future credits against future insurance assessment payments. As such, the timing of the one-time credit may change.

11. Visa

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a $4.6 million litigation provision based on an estimate of its contingent indemnification liability associated with the covered litigation of Visa, Inc. In March of 2008, Visa, Inc. completed an initial public offering. With the funds received in this offering, Visa, Inc. conducted a mandatory redemption of a portion of its class B common stock and funded a $3.0 billion dollar escrow account to fund claims resulting from the covered litigation. The Company recorded an $8.9 million gain for cash received from the mandatory redemption. Additionally, the Company recorded $4.0 million for its proportional share of the escrow account funds. The Company has presented the contingent indemnification liability net of the escrowed funds as a component of other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These entries have also been clearly disclosed on separate line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Overview

The following five strategies continue to be the Company’s focus. Management believes these strategies will continue to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet.

The first strategy is a focus on net interest income. This is a multi-pronged strategy emphasizing the investment portfolio, loan portfolio and deposit base. During the second quarter of 2008, progress on this strategy was illustrated by an increase in net interest income of 16.1 percent from the previous year. By optimizing its balance sheet, the Company has increased average earning assets and net interest margin in a declining rate environment. Average earning assets increased by $565.8 million, or 8.1 percent, as compared to the second quarter of 2007. This earning asset growth was attributable to an average securities growth of $402.0, or 14.6 percent, and an average loan growth of $219.9 million, or 5.6 percent. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest spread increased by 69 basis points and net interest margin increased by 28 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2007.

The second strategy is to grow the Company’s fee-based businesses. The Company continues to emphasize its fee-based operations to help reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. During the second quarter of 2008, noninterest income increased $6.7 million, or 9.2 percent, as compared to the same period of 2007. The Company continues to emphasize its asset management, bankcard services, health care services, and payments

15

businesses. The focus in asset management continues to show improvement and is discussed in the fourth strategy below. In particular, during the second quarter of 2008, the increase in noninterest income is attributable to higher trust and securities processing income and continued improvement in bankcard fees. Trust and securities processing increased $4.2 million, or 14.4 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily due to the increase in fund administration and distribution services and the increase in total assets under management for the UMB Scout Funds as discussed in the fourth strategy below. Bankcard fees increased $1.8 million, or 18.3 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 due to increased credit card transaction volume. Credit card transaction volume for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $308.0 million compared to $260.4 million for the same period in 2007. The Company also continues to focus on its wholesale health savings and flexible spending account strategy by servicing healthcare providers, third-party administrators and large employers.

The third strategy is a focus on the retail distribution network. At June 30, 2008, the Company had 135 branches. Repositioning and increasing utilization of our regional distribution network remains a priority. The Company continues to emphasize increasing its primary retail customer base by providing a broad offering of services through our existing branch network. These efforts have resulted in a year-to-date average deposits increase of $585.8 million, or 10.4 percent, over the same period in 2007.

The fourth strategy is to strengthen the asset management business of the Company. In particular, the focus is to continue growing the UMB Scout Funds (which are a family of proprietary mutual funds managed by a subsidiary of the Company) by adding and offering new products, achieving strong performance, and leveraging distribution networks. The Company continues to develop an investment advisory model. To that end, the Company will continue to evolve proprietary and non-proprietary products and services to support this approach. In addition, the Company continues to integrate private banking, wealth solutions, and brokerage capabilities for our customer base. Total assets under management increased 7.6 percent to $11.3 billion at June 30, 2008, from $10.5 billion at June 30, 2007. Leading this growth is the Company’s proprietary family of mutual funds, which continue to play a key role. Total assets under management for the UMB Scout Funds were $6.2 billion at June 30, 2008 as compared to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.9 billion or 16.7 percent. As some of the revenue from the Company’s asset management business is the direct result of the market value of its customers’ investments, the overall health of the equity and financial markets plays an important role in the recognition of fee income.

The fifth strategy is a focus on capital management. Specifically, the Company continues to invest in organic growth; analyze acquisition opportunities that make sense strategically, financially, operationally, and culturally; and focus on returning capital to shareholders. The Company repurchased 51,770 shares of common stock at an average price of $49.52 per share during the second quarter of 2008. This repurchase coupled with the repurchase in the first quarter of 2008 results in a year-to-date repurchase of 536,834 shares of common stock at an average price of $39.41 per share for a total cost of $21.2 million. The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. At June 30, 2008, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.01 percent, which is substantially higher than the 10 percent regulatory minimum to be considered well-capitalized.

Earnings Summary

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $23.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $20.1 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents an 18.2 percent increase over the three-month period ended June 30, 2007. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008 were $0.58 per share ($0.58 per share fully-diluted) compared to $0.48 per share ($0.48 per share fully-diluted) for the second quarter of 2007. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 were 1.12 and 10.37 percent, respectively, as compared to 1.02 and 9.32 percent for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007.

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $56.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $37.4 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 50.0 percent increase over the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Basic earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 were $1.37 per share ($1.36 per share fully-diluted) compared to $0.89 per share ($0.89 per share fully-diluted) for the period in 2007. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 were 1.31 and 12.25 percent, respectively, as compared to 0.94 and 8.76 percent for the same period in 2007.

Net interest income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 increased 16.1 percent and 14.6 percent, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The Company has increased average earning assets and net interest margin in a declining rate environment. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, average earning assets increased by $565.8 million, or 8.1 percent, and $522.8 million, or 7.3 percent, as compared to the same periods in 2007. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 3.71 percent and 3.60 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 3.43 percent and 3.37 percent for the same periods in 2007.

The provision for loan losses increased by $2.9 million and $4.4 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. These changes are a direct result of applying the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses. With the increased provision, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans slightly increased by 3 basis points to 1.17 percent as of June 30, 2008 as compared to June 30, 2007. Management calculates a range in determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. For a description of the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses, please see the summary discussion of the Allowance for Loan Losses within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates subsection of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section on the Company’s 2007 Annual Report of Form 10-K.

Noninterest income increased by $6.7 million, or 9.2 percent, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, and increased by $25.0 million, or 18.0 percent, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods one year ago. For the three and six-month periods, the increases are primarily due to increases in trust and securities processing income and continued improvement in bankcard fees. For the six-month period, these contributors were coupled with the impact from the Visa transaction. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.

Noninterest expense increased by $8.0 million, or 8.2 percent, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, and increased by $9.8 million, or 5.0 percent, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. For the three and six-month periods, the increases were primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, and processing fees. For the six-month period, these contributors were coupled with the impact from the Visa transaction. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect net interest income. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, net interest income increased $9.2 million, or 16.1 percent, as compared to the same period in 2007. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net interest income increased $16.6 million, or 14.6 percent, as compared to the same period in 2007.

Table 1 shows the impact of earning asset rate changes as compared to changes in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company continues to experience a repricing of these earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the recent interest rate cycle. The Company has been able to improve net interest spreads and net interest margin. As illustrated on this table, net interest spread for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased by 69 basis points and 56 basis points and overall net interest margin increased by 28 basis points and 23 basis points, as compared to the same periods in 2007. These results are primarily due to the interest-bearing liabilities repricing quicker than the earning assets, coupled with the contribution from noninterest-bearing demand deposits (free funds). For the impact of the contribution from free funds, see the Analysis of Net Interest Margin within Table 2 below. Table 2 also illustrates how the changes in volume and rates have resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Table 2 presents the dollar amount of change in net interest income and margin due to volume and rate. Table 2 also reflects the effect that interest-free funds have on net interest margin. Although interest free funds (total earning assets less interest-bearing liabilities) increased $175.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007 and increased $124.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007, the benefit from interest free funds declined by 41 basis points from the three months ended June 30, 2007 and declined by 33 basis points from the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to the decreases in interest rates.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the appropriate balance of the ALL. This analysis considers items such as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, migration analysis, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration and other factors. This analysis is performed separately for each bank as regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis. After the balance sheet analysis is performed for the ALL, the provision for loan losses is computed as the amount required to adjust the ALL to the appropriate level.

Based on the factors above, management of the Company expensed $4.9 million and $7.9 million related to the provision for loan losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the same periods in 2007. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the ALL slightly increased to 1.17 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2008 as compared to 1.14 percent of total loans as of the same period in 2007.

Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s ALL for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net charge-offs were $5.7 million for the first six months of 2008 as compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2007. See “Credit Risk Management” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest Income

A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to enhance profitability and provide steady income. Fee-based services are typically non-credit related and not generally affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

The Company’s fee-based services provide the opportunity to offer multiple products and services, which management believes will more closely align the customer with the Company. The Company is currently emphasizing fee-based services including trust and securities processing, bankcard, brokerage and treasury management. Management believes it can offer these products and services both efficiently and profitably, as most share common platforms and support structures.

Quarter-To-Date

Fee-based, or noninterest income (summarized in Table 4), increased by $6.7 million, or 9.2 percent, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. Table 4 above summarizes the components of noninterest income and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Trust and securities processing consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and money management services, and servicing of mutual fund assets. The increase in these fees as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to $3.0 million in fee income related to the fund administration and custody services of mutual funds and $1.5 million in trust fee income, specifically related to the Company’s investment advisor group. Total assets under management increased 10.5

22

percent to $11.6 billion at June 30, 2008, from $10.5 billion at June 30, 2007. Leading this growth is the Company’s proprietary family of mutual funds, which continue to play a key role. Total assets under management for the UMB Scout Funds were $6.3 billion at June 30, 2008 as compared to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.9 million or 16.7 percent. Trust and securities processing fees are asset-based. As such, they are highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets. Thus, the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. Management continues to emphasize sales of services to both new and existing clients as well as increasing and improving the distribution channels which lead to increased inflows into the UMB Scout Funds.

Bankcard fees increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to increased credit card transaction volume.

Year-To-Date

Noninterest income (summarized in Table 4), increased by $25.0 million, or 18.0 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. The majority of the increase is attributable to increases in trust and securities processing fees, bankcard fees, and the impact from the Visa transaction.

Trust and securities processing fees increased $8.1 million, or 14.4 percent, for the six-months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. The increase is primarily a result of fund administration and custody fees of $6.0 million, and additional fee income related to the UMB Scout Funds of $2.4 million.

Bankcard fees increased by $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to increased credit card transaction volume.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a gain of $8.9 million on the mandatory redemption of Visa class B common stock. This gain was a direct result of Visa’s initial public offering and the Company’s membership in Visa prior to its change in ownership structure.

Noninterest expense increased by $8.0 million, or 8.2 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $9.8 million, or 5.0 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007. Table 5 above summarizes the components of noninterest expense and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $5.2 million, or 10.4 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $9.0 million, 9.0 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007. These increases are primarily due to a $3.8 million and a $6.2 million increase in commissions and bonuses and a $1.1 million and $2.2 million increase in employee salaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. These increases are directly correlated to the Company’s improved product delivery, improved financial performance and the hiring of strategic personnel throughout the organization.

Processing fees increased $1.8 million, or 25.8 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. These increases are a direct result of increased third party custodian fees related to international transactions from mutual fund clients and sub-transfer agency fees paid for the shareholder servicing of the UMB Scout Funds.

During the first quarter of 2008, the reduction of the covered litigation provision impacts the change over the six months ended June 30, 2008. This reduction was a direct result of Visa’s funding of a litigation escrow account with funds from its initial public offering. As a Visa member bank, the Company has reduced this provision in relationship to the Company’s member ownership proportion of Visa.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate is 30.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 30.2 percent for the same period in 2007. The increase in effective tax rate is primarily attributable to tax-exempt income representing a smaller percentage of total income in 2008 as compared to 2007 and the one-time tax impact from the gain on the mandatory redemption of Visa stock. Management anticipates this tax rate will remain flat or drop slightly during the remainder of the year.

Strategic Lines of Business

The Company’s operations are strategically aligned into six major segments: Commercial Banking and Lending, Payment and Technology Solutions, Banking Services, Consumer Services, Asset Management, and Fund Services (formerly Investment Services Group). Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance of individual business segments. The management accounting system

24

assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at June 30, 2008 consistent with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The segments are differentiated by both the customers and the products and services offered. The Treasury and Other Adjustments category includes items not directly associated with the other segments.

Commercial Banking and Lending’s net income before taxes for the first six months of 2008 decreased $2.9 million, or 22.5 percent, to $9.9 million. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by an increase in noninterest expense of $2.5 million, or 17.1 percent, from 2007, and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $0.9 million, or 41.7%. The non-interest expense increase was mostly attributable to a reclassification of thirty associates from Consumer Services to this segment. Provision has increased due to total loans in this segment increasing by $337.0 million, or 12.7%, and the softening in the economic environment. Management anticipates a soft economy and enhanced competition for commercial loans in 2008 and, therefore, expects continued pressure on income growth in this segment during the remainder of 2008.

Payment and Technology Solutions’ net income before taxes increased $8.1 million, or 35.4 percent, to $31.0 million for the first six months of 2008. The increase was primarily a result of a $9.3 million increase in net interest income as a result of increased deposit balances and enhanced margin. Noninterest income increased $1.9 million, or 6.0 percent, compared to 2007 due to healthcare services and commercial credit card product income. Noninterest expense increased $3.1 million, or 7.5 percent, compared to 2007 primarily from an increase in technology allocations driven by increased investments in technology by this segment. The Company has focused significant resources into creating and enhancing products and services to keep the Company in step with clients’ changing needs. Investments in technology have helped this segment focus on creating innovative solutions, and management anticipates these technologies will create efficiencies in the coming year.

Banking Services’ net income before taxes was $1.6 million for the first half of 2008. This was a $2.1 million increase from the first six months of 2007. The increase in net income before taxes was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest income of $3.7 million, or 28.7 percent, from 2007. The volatile market conditions associated with the credit issues within the financial markets has led many customers to the relative safety of fixed income instruments, increasing trading revenue substantially in this segment for the first six months of 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, activity decreased significantly from the first quarter, although still above 2007 levels. Management expects trading activity to stabilize the remainder of 2008, but to improve over activity one year ago.

Consumer Services’ net income before taxes increased by $3.0 million to $4.8 million for the first six months of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. Net interest income increased by $1.4 million, primarily from a $61.6 million, or 16.0%, increase in demand deposits and a $40.0 million, or 20.7%, increase in the home equity line of credit loan portfolio. Noninterest income increased $2.7 million, primarily due to an increase in individual return item and overdraft activity, growth in credit card services income, and commissions from insurance

25

sales. Noninterest expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 3.0 percent, and was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary expense from a reclassification of associates from this segment compared to the same period in 2007. Management believes Consumer Services’ ability to maintain or grow net interest income levels in 2008 will depend upon its ability to grow higher yielding consumer loans.

Asset Management’s net income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $14.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the same period in 2007. The increase in net income before taxes was primarily attributable to increases in noninterest income, offset by increases in noninterest expense. Noninterest income increased $3.6 million mostly due to fees associated with the UMB Scout Funds and corporate trust income. Noninterest expense increased $3.3 million because of higher shareholder servicing and other administration fees related to the UMB Scout Funds resulting from the increased asset base in the funds. Salaries and benefits were higher because of increased base salaries, increased commissions, and the addition of strategic sales associates in this segment. Net flows to the UMB Scout Funds were $660.0 million for the first half of 2008 compared to net outflows of $56.0 million for the same period in 2007. The collective group of UMB Scout Funds’ overall performance was very strong in 2007 and continues to be strong in 2008, leading to the increased flows in 2008. Management will continue to focus sales efforts to increase net flows to the UMB Scout Funds. Overall, the industry has seen net outflows to equity funds in the first half of 2008 due to the unstable equity markets. The ability of the Company to maintain or grow the fee income from this segment is also related to the overall health of the equity and financial markets because a significant portion of the fee income from this segment is related to total assets under management. The assets under management in this segment are diversified across multiple asset classes with approximately 38 percent in the international class, 28 percent in the fixed income class, 19 percent in the U.S. large capital class, 9 percent in the short term investment class, and 6 percent in the small and middle capital class. Management believes this diversification helps provide protection against significant market changes in any one asset class. The revenues of the corporate trust business also remain strong as management continues to focus its efforts on growth of this line of business.

Fund Services’ net income before taxes increased $5.5 million, or 264.7 percent, in 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007 due to both higher net interest margin and noninterest income, partially offset by greater noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $2.8 million year-to-date over 2007 as mutual fund managers increased money market deposits to over $450 million, despite lower rates, the extreme volatility of stock prices, and increased redemption needs. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $6.6 million, or 36.6 percent, higher than the same period in 2007 due in part to additions to the mutual fund and alternative investment client base and higher asset based fees. Approximately two-thirds of the increase represents increased custody fees related largely to increased international transaction volumes. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2008 increased $4.0 million, or 24.6 percent over the same period in 2007. Higher third party custody fees related to international transactions account for over half of the increase. System costs increased as additional clients and enhancements were added. Salary and benefit expenses were also higher and reflected base salary increases as well as staffing additions to serve the segment’s expanded client base.

The net income before tax for the Treasury and Other category was $11.5 million for the first six months of 2008, compared to net income before tax of $0.6 million for the same period in 2007. Included in this segment was the gain on the mandatory redemption of Visa class B common stock and the reduction of the liability accrual related to the Company’s estimated share of Visa’s covered litigation. These items are discussed in “Noninterest Income” and “Noninterest Expense” on pages 23 and 24.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets of the Company declined $536.4 million, or 5.7 percent, as of June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 and increased $772.5 million, or 9.6 percent, compared to June 30, 2007. The decrease in total assets from December to June is primarily a result of the cyclical trend due to the pledging and collateral required related to seasonal public fund deposits. This trend caused a $426.3 million decrease in short-term agency securities during the first six months of the year. These decreases were offset by a $189.0 million, or 4.8 percent, increase in total loans from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008.

Total deposits and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase also declined from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Deposits declined by $195.4 million, or 3.0 percent, from December to

26

June and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased by $530.6 million, or 30.6 percent, from December to June. This decline in deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase is primarily driven by the cyclical trend due to seasonal public fund deposits, because such tax deposits are generally higher around the end of the calendar year.

Total borrowed funds		1,453,963		1,303,848		1,804,534

Loans

Total loan balances have increased $189.0 million, or 4.8 percent, compared to December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily a result of an 11.6 percent increase in commercial loans and a 9.0 percent increase in real estate loans offset by a 16.9 percent decrease in consumer loans, primarily related to the run-off of the indirect consumer loan portfolio. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company made the decision to phase out its indirect loan portfolio. This is part of a strategy to enhance asset yields. The Company will continue to service existing loans until maturity or payoff. The increase in commercial loans is a result of a continued sales focus on new commercial relationships. The increase in real estate is driven by home equity loans.

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income. In addition to growing the commercial loan portfolio, management believes its middle market commercial business and its consumer business, including home equity and credit card loan products, are the market niches that represent its best opportunity to cross-sell fee-related services.

Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans are discussed under “Credit Risk Management” within “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in this report.

Securities

The Company’s security portfolio provides liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities. This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. In addition to providing a potential source of liquidity, the security portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company’s goal in the management of its security portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company maintains strong liquidity levels while investing in only high-grade securities. The security portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income.

Investment securities comprised 39.8 percent and 43.1 percent, respectively, of the earning assets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The decline is primarily a result of the seasonality within the Company’s balance sheet. At year end, there is an increase in public fund deposits and repurchase agreements as governmental units receive tax dollars. These seasonal deposits run off over the first half of the year. The Company generally offsets these short-term public fund deposits with short-term investments such as short-term agencies and reverse repurchase agreements. This increases the percent of earning assets related to securities at year-end as compared to the end of the second quarter. Loan demand and collateral pledging requirements for public fund deposits and client repurchase agreements are expected to be the primary factors impacting changes in the level of security holdings. Total investment securities were $3.0 billion at June 30, 2008 with $2.8 billion of these securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law

27

Investment securities had an average tax-equivalent yield of 4.66 percent for the first six months of 2008 as compared to 4.79 percent for the same period in 2007, or a decrease of 13 basis points. The average life of the securities portfolio was 32.3 months at June 30, 2008 as compared to 29.3 months at December 31, 2007. The most significant reason for the increase in average life was the large number of extremely short-term discount notes held at December 31, 2007. These short-term securities are held due to the seasonal fluctuation related to public fund deposits, which are expected to flow out of the bank in a relatively short period. At December 31, 2007, the amount of such short-term agencies was approximately $724.0 million, and without these discount notes, the average life of the core investment portfolio would have been 37.0 months. At June 30, 2008, the amount of such short-term agencies was approximately $296.0 million and without these short-term agencies, the average life of the core investment portfolio would have been 35.7 months.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits decreased $195.4 million, or 3.0 percent, from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Noninterest-bearing deposits were flat at $2.1 billion while interest-bearing deposits decreased $189.2 million, or 2.9 percent, from December 31, 2007. Interest-bearing deposits decreased primarily as a result of seasonal public fund deposit decreases during the first six months of 2008. Total deposits increased $556.9 million, or 9.6 percent, from the balance at June 30, 2007.

Deposits represent the Company’s primary funding source for its asset base. In addition to the core deposits garnered by the Company’s retail branch structure, the Company continues to focus on its cash management services, as well as its trust and mutual fund servicing segments, in order to attract and retain additional core deposits. Management believes a strong core deposit composition is one of the Company’s core competencies given its competitive product mix.

Borrowed funds decreased $350.6 million from December 31, 2007. Borrowed funds are typically higher at year end due to repurchase agreements related to public funds. Borrowings, other than repurchase agreements, are a function of the source and use of funds and will fluctuate to cover short term gaps in funding.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2007. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher expenses for extended liability maturities. Management manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity was $917.0 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $890.6 million at December 31, 2007. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized, at its April 22, 2008 and its April 24, 2007 meetings, the repurchase of the Company’s common stock up to two million shares during the twelve months following the meetings. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company acquired 536,834 shares and 286,585 shares, respectively, of its common stock. The Company has not made any purchases other than through these plans.

On July 22, 2008, the Board of Directors also declared a dividend of $0.165 per share. The dividend will be paid on October 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on September 10, 2008.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. A financial institution’s total capital is required to equal at least 8 percent of risk-weighted assets. At least half of that 8 percent must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk

28

weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company’s high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.01 percent and total capital ratio of 14.88 percent substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

For further discussion of capital and liquidity, see “Liquidity Risk” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s main off-balance sheet arrangements are loan commitments, commercial and standby letters of credit, futures contracts and forward exchange contracts, which have maturity dates rather than payment due dates. Please see Note 7, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on these arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the recorded estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of critical accounting policies is listed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange prices, commodity prices or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than trading.

The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading. The following discussion of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk

In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Funds Management Committee (“FMC”) and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The FMC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure. The Company’s primary method for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk is the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. The Company also uses a Net Portfolio Value model to measure market value risk under various rate change scenarios and a gap analysis to measure maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time. The Company does not use hedges or swaps to manage interest rate risk except for limited use of futures contracts to offset interest rate risk on certain securities held in its trading portfolio.

Overall, the Company manages interest rate risk by positioning the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, remaining mindful of the relationship among profitability, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Net Interest Income Modeling

The Company’s primary interest rate risk tool, the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis, measures interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin. This analysis incorporates substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 200 basis point upward or downward gradual change of market interest rates over a one year period. Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook, and repricing strategies. Asset prepayments and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds and other market changes. Since the results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized, management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in assumptions.

Table 9 shows the net interest income increase or decrease over the next twelve months as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates.

Table 9

MARKET RISK(dollars in thousands)

Static		—			—
(100)		1,017			1,454
(200)		2,034			2,907

The Company is slightly liability sensitive at June 30, 2008 to increases or decreases in rates. A decrease in interest rates will have little impact on net interest income. Increases in interest rates will cause larger decreases in net interest income than in the declining rate environment. The Company’s average life of the investment portfolio has lengthened slightly and the Company’s loan portfolio has grown with a slightly higher percentage of total loans being fixed rate as compared to 2007. These scenarios cause interest income from these assets to be less sensitive to rate changes because they reprice less frequently. The Company also has a greater percentage of interest expense from overnight liabilities. This contributes to liabilities repricing more frequently and becoming more sensitive to rate changes than assets. The Company is positioned with the current low rate environment to be very neutral to further interest rate decreases over the next twelve months.

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

The Company also evaluates its interest rate sensitivity position in an attempt to maintain a balance between the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are expected to mature or reprice at any point in time. While a traditional repricing mismatch analysis (“gap analysis”) provides a snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not in fact reprice at the same time or the same degree. Also, it does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income.

Trading Account

The Company’s subsidiary UMB Bank, n.a. carries taxable governmental securities in a trading account that is maintained according to a board-approved policy and relevant procedures. The policy limits the amount and type of securities that can be carried in the trading account as well as requiring that any limits under applicable law and regulations also be complied with, and mandates the use of a value at risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters. The risk associated with carrying trading securities is offset by the sale of exchange traded futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily. This account had a balance of $63.0 million as of June 30, 2008 compared to $43.9 million as of December 31, 2007.

The Manager of the Investment Banking Division of UMB Bank, n.a. presents documentation of the methodology used in determining value at risk at least annually to the Board for approval in compliance with OCC Banking Circular 277, Risk Management of Financial Derivatives, and other banking laws and regulations. The aggregate value at risk is reviewed quarterly. The aggregate value at risk in the trading account was insignificant as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Other Market Risk

The Company does not have material commodity price risks or derivative risks. The Company does have minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts. See Note 7 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the risk that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, loan requests are centrally reviewed to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards. The Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the affiliate banks. This review team performs periodic examinations of each bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authority of each affiliate bank also reviews loan portfolios.

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans were flat at June 30, 2008, compared to June 30, 2007 and increased $1.6 million compared to December 31, 2007.

The Company had $1.4 million of other real estate owned as of June 30, 2008, compared to $0.3 million as of June 30, 2007 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2007. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $5.7 million as of June 30, 2008, compared to $1.8 million at June 30, 2007 and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2007.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash.

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. The Company had $143,000 of restructured loans at June 30, 2008, $146,000 at June 30, 2007 and $144,000 at December 31, 2007.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and

32

wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments and maturity of assets, which include $3.0 billion of high-quality investment securities. Investment securities with a market value of $2.8 billion at June 30, 2008 were pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company’s subsidiary banks has been core deposits. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management is confident in its ability to raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at June 30, 2008 was $2.7 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from subsidiary banks traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be sufficient in the future. The Company’s subsidiary banks are subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company. For the most part, all banks can pay dividends at least equal to their current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. From time to time, approvals have been requested to allow a subsidiary bank to pay a dividend in excess of its current earnings.

Operational Risk

The Company is exposed to numerous types of operational risk. Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including, but not limited to: the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company; the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing and systems, and breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. Included in the legal and regulatory issues with which the Company must comply are a number of imposed rules resulting from the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Company operates in many markets and places reliance on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in the internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation. In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.

The Company maintains systems of controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed on a uniform basis. In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk. Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems and corporate-wide processes and procedures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers to make certain certifications with respect to this report and to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, within the time period specified in the Exchange Act rules and forms. Disclosure Controls and Procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

While the Company believes that its existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish the Company’s objectives, the Company intends to continue to examine, refine, and formalize its disclosure controls and procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in this area.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
