ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The more significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the “Company” or “EFSC”) is a financial holding company that provides a full range of banking and wealth management services to individuals and corporate customers located in the St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan markets through its banking subsidiaries, Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Bank”) and Great American Bank (“Great American”.) In addition, the Company owns 60% of Millennium Brokerage Group, LLC (“Millennium”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Millennium Holding Company, Inc. Millennium is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee and operates life insurance advisory and brokerage operations from thirteen offices serving life agents, banks, CPA firms, property and casualty groups, and financial advisors in 49 states.

On July 5, 2006, EFSC completed its acquisition of NorthStar Bancshares Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, NorthStar Bank NA (collectively referred to as “NorthStar”.) NorthStar was merged into and with Enterprise Bank & Trust on October 6, 2006.

On February 28, 2007, EFSC completed its acquisition of Clayco Banc Corporation (“Clayco”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Great American Bank. For more information, please refer to Note 2 – Acquisitions below.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Bank (100% owned), Great American (100% owned) and Millennium (60% owned). Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Minority ownership interests are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The minority ownership interest of our earnings or loss, net of tax, is classified as “Minority interest in net income of consolidated subsidiary” in our Consolidated Statements of Income. For more information, please refer to “Minority Interest in Net Income of Consolidated Subsidiary” discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included elsewhere in this report.

Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported consolidated net income or shareholders’ equity.

New Accounting Standards
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting forUncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxeson January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation, the Company recognized a $138,000 decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. At January 1, 2007, the Company had $2.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $1.4 million of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense and classifies such interest and penalties in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $405,000 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that $470,000 in unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to certain state tax items will be recognized during 2007 as a result of the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. This amount excludes any federal income tax impact.

The tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

5

Pursuant to recent Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, the Company did not provide the tabular reconciliation disclosures required by FIN 48. The Company will provide all required FIN 48 disclosures in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.FAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting standards, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of FAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. FAS No. 159 requires additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of an entity’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. FAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards.

FAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted provided, among other things, an entity elects to adopt within the first 120 days of that fiscal year. We did not early adopt FAS No. 159 and are currently evaluating the impact it might have on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Clayco Banc Corporation
On February 28, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the total outstanding common stock of Kansas City-based Clayco Banc Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Great American Bank for $37.0 million in EFSC common stock (60%) and cash (40%). The acquisition served to expand the Company’s banking franchise in the greater Kansas City area. The purchase price for Clayco consisted of:

• $14.8 million in cash;
   
• 731,692 shares of EFSC common stock valued at $22.2 million based on the average closing share price of EFSC common stock, as quoted on NASDAQ, for the 20 trading days ending five days prior to the acquisition date.

On February 26, 2007, the Company issued $14.0 million of trust preferred securities (“TRUPS”) through a newly formed affiliated statutory trust, as further discussed in Note 9 – Subordinated Debentures below. The TRUPS proceeds were used to fund the cash portion of the transaction.

At the time of the acquisition, on a consolidated basis, Clayco had assets of $201.9 million, loans, net of unearned discount, of $167.0 million, deposits of $150.7 million and shareholders’ equity of $12.8 million. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value adjustments represent current estimates and are subject to further adjustments as the valuation data is finalized. Goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, was $25.4 million. Core deposit intangibles were approximately $1.9 million and will be amortized over ten years utilizing an accelerated method. Core deposit intangibles are not deductible for tax purposes.

Statement of Position 03-3 (“SOP 03-3”)Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer applies to entities that acquire loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the acquiring enterprise will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. At the time of acquisition, there were no loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality within the scope of SOP 03-3.

Acquisition of NorthStar Bancshares, Inc.
On July 5, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of NorthStar. As part of the acquisition, $4.5 million of the $36.0 purchase price was deposited into a “Reserved Credit Escrow” account pending the collection of certain loans. These amounts are considered “contingent consideration” under U.S. GAAP and therefore, were not recorded in common stock or additional paid in capital until the contingency was resolved. The Reserved Credit Escrow amount had scheduled release dates in January and July 2007 based on the receipt of principal payments or proceeds from the sale of several identified loans and other real estate. In January 2007, no proceeds were released. In July 2007, $1.3 million of the escrow was released to the selling stockholders of NorthStar. This represented 49,484 shares of Enterprise common stock and $6,400 in cash. The remaining balance of the escrow was released to Enterprise. With the contingency resolved, the Company has recorded the additional common stock, paid in capital and related goodwill which will be reflected in the third quarter 2007 financial statements.

The Company maintains a number of share-based incentive programs, which are discussed in more detail in Note 17 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The share-based compensation expense that was charged against income was $430,000 and $744,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the share-based compensation expense charged against income was $275,000 and $427,000, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $282,000 and $144,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The fair value of stock options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is estimated based on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following average assumptions:

	Six months ended June 30,

Employee Stock Options and Stock Settled Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock options were granted to key employees with exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and have 10-year contractual terms. Stock options have a vesting schedule of between three to five years. In addition, in June 2007, the Company granted stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SSAR”) to key employees. The SSAR’s are subject to continued employment, have a 10-year contractual term and vest ratably over five years beginning on December 15, 2007. Neither stock options or SSAR’s carry voting or dividend rights until exercised. There were no options granted during the second quarter of 2006.

At June 30, 2007, there was $134,000 and $1,600,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and SSAR’s, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years and 4.5 years, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units
As part of a long-term incentive plan, the Company issues restricted share units (“RSU’s”) to employees. RSU’s are subject to continued employment and vest ratably over five years. RSU’s do not carry voting or dividend rights until vesting. Compensation expense related to RSU’s was $317,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Compensation expense related to RSU’s was $569,000 and $365,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, there was $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU’s, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.5 years.

Director - Stock Appreciation Rights
At December 31, 2006, there were no stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) outstanding pursuant to the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan for the Directors. As a result, there will be no expense related to SARS in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the market value of the SARS increased income by $7,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, expenses to record the market value of the SARS were $21,000.

Stock Plan for Non-Management Directors
In April 2006, the Company adopted a Stock Plan for Non-Management Directors, which provides for issuing shares of common stock to non-employee directors as compensation in lieu of cash. Shares granted under this plan may be subject to resale restrictions (“restricted stock”). The plan was approved by the shareholders and allows up to 100,000 shares to be awarded. Shares are issued twice a year and compensation expense is recorded as the shares are earned, therefore, there is no unrecognized compensation cost related to this plan. Share-based compensation expense for the directors was $37,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the directors was $78,000 and $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Moneta Plan
As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of all options granted pursuant to an agreement with Moneta Group (“Moneta”) had been recognized; therefore, there is no unrecognized compensation cost. During the first half of 2006, the Company recognized $8,700 in Moneta option-related expenses.

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Bank utilizes interest rate swap derivatives to manage its interest rate risks from certain recorded financial assets and liabilities. These derivatives are utilized when they can be demonstrated to effectively hedge a designated asset or liability and such asset or liability exposes the Bank to interest rate risk. The accounting policies associated with derivative financial instruments are discussed further in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Bank accounts for its derivatives under SFAS No. 149,An Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesand SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These Standards require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and require measurement of those instruments at fair value through adjustments to other comprehensive income, current earnings, or both, as appropriate.

Cash Flow Hedges
Previously, the Bank entered into interest rate swap agreements to convert floating-rate loan assets to fixed rates. At June 30, 2007, the Bank had no outstanding cash flow hedges. Interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $30.0 million and $40.0 million under which the Bank received a fixed rate of 5.3425% and 5.4150% matured in March and April 2006, respectively. The net cash flows related to cash flow hedges decreased interest income on loans by $411,000 in the first half of 2006.

Fair Value Hedges
Previously, the Bank entered into interest rate swap agreements to convert the fixed interest rate on certain brokered CDs to a variable interest rate. At June 30, 2007, the Bank had no outstanding fair value hedges. One swap with a notional amount of $10.0 million, under which the Bank received a fixed rate of 2.90%, matured in February 2007. Two swaps, each with a $10.0 million notional amount, under which the Bank received fixed rates of 2.30% and 2.45%, matured in February and April 2006, respectively. The net cash flows related to fair value hedges increased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $0 and $41,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The net cash flows related to fair value hedges increased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $73,000 and $230,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Non-Designated Hedges
The Bank has entered into interest rate swap agreements with the objective of converting long-term fixed rates on certain loans to a variable interest rate. The swap agreements provide for the Bank to pay a fixed rate of interest equal to that of the loan and to receive a variable rate of interest based on a spread to one-month LIBOR. The non-designated hedges and related loans are accounted for at fair value. All changes in fair value are measured on a quarterly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the change in fair value of the underlying swap decreased interest income by $4,000 net.

10

Under the swap agreements the Bank is to pay or receive interest monthly. One swap agreement is a forward rate lock hedging against rate increases through August 2007. As a result, the cash flows for this swap will not begin until August 2007. One interest rate swap with a notional amount of $1.8 million was terminated in March 2007. The net cash flows related to the terminated swap decreased interest income on loans by $200 during the first half of 2007.

The notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties, and therefore, are not a measure of the Bank’s credit exposure through its use of these instruments. The credit exposure represents the accounting loss the Bank would incur in the event the counterparties failed completely to perform according to the terms of the derivative financial instruments and if the collateral held to support the credit exposure was of no value. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, in connection with our interest rate swap agreements; we had pledged investment securities available for sale with a fair value of $0 and $2.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accepted, as collateral in connection with our interest rate swap agreements, cash of $0 and $196,300.

NOTE 7—DISCLOSURES ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company issues financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of the business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2007, no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments at the dates indicated below.

	June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2007		2006
Commitments to extend credit	$	496,073	$	480,071
Standby letters of credit		32,549		39,587
Private equity bank fund		175		250

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Of the total commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately $40.2 million and $35.9 million, respectively, represents fixed rate loan commitments. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and real estate.

11

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loans to customers. The approximate remaining terms of standby letters of credit range from 1 month to 5 years at June 30, 2007.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT REPORTING

Management segregates the Company into three distinct businesses for evaluation purposes. The three segments are Banking, Wealth Management, and Corporate and Intercompany. The segments are evaluated separately on their individual performance, as well as their contribution to the Company as a whole. The financial information for each business segment reflects that information which is specifically identifiable or which is allocated based on an internal allocation method.

The majority of the Company’s assets and income result from the Banking segment. This segment consists of the Bank, excluding the trust division of the Bank (“Enterprise Trust”), and Great American.

The Wealth Management segment includes Enterprise Trust and Millennium. Enterprise Trust provides estate planning, investment management and retirement planning, as well as consulting on management compensation, strategic planning and management succession issues. Millennium operates life insurance advisory and brokerage operations from thirteen offices serving life agents, banks, CPA firms, property and casualty groups, and financial advisors in 49 states.

The Corporate and Intercompany segment includes the general corporate expenses of the parent only along with the subordinated debentures and intersegment eliminations.

NOTE 9—SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
At December 31, 2006, the Company had $35.0 million in five wholly-owned statutory business trusts. These trusts issued securities that were sold to third parties. The sole purpose of the trusts was to invest the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures of the Company that have terms identical to the trust securities. Following is a summary of new business trusts and underlying subordinated debentures issued and acquired throughout 2007.

EFSC Capital Trust VI
On February 26, 2007, EFSC Statutory Capital Trust VI (“EFSC Trust VI”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and subsidiary of EFSC, issued 14,000 fixed rate Trust Preferred Securities at $1,000 per share to a Trust Preferred Securities Pool. The proceeds were invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the junior subordinated debentures, were approximately $14.0 million. The rate is fixed at 6.573% for five years. Following the five-year period, the floating rate will be equal to three-month LIBOR + 1.60%. Interest is payable quarterly beginning March 31, 2007. The TRUPS are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company. The TRUPS mature on March 30, 2037. The maturity date may be shortened to a date not earlier than March 30, 2012 if certain conditions are met. The TRUPS are classified as subordinated debentures and the distributions are recorded as interest expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The proceeds from the offering were used to partially fund the acquisition of Clayco as discussed in Note 2 – Acquisitions of this filing.

Clayco Statutory Trust I and II
On February 28, 2007, as part of the Clayco acquisition, the Company acquired Clayco Statutory Trust I (“Clayco Trust I”) valued at $3.2 million and Clayco Statutory Trust II (“Clayco Trust II”) valued at $4.1 million. Clayco Trust I consists of 3,000 floating rate Trust Preferred Securities. The floating rate for Clayco Trust I is equal to three-month LIBOR + 2.85%. It matures on December 17, 2033. If certain conditions are met, the maturity date may be shortened to a date not earlier December 17, 2008. Clayco Trust II consists of 4,000 floating rate Trust Preferred Securities with a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR + 1.83%. The maturity dates may be shortened to a date not earlier than September 15, 2010 if certain conditions are met. These TRUPS are fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company. These TRUPS are classified as subordinated debentures and the distributions are recorded as interest expense in the Company’s financial statements

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Readers should note that in addition to the historical information contained herein, some of the information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements typically are identified with use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “potential,” “could”, and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should be aware that the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including: burdens imposed by federal and state regulation, including changes in accounting regulation or standards of banks; credit risk; exposure to general and local economic conditions; risks associated with rapid increase or decrease in prevailing interest rates; consolidation within the banking industry; competition from banks and other financial institutions; our ability to attract and retain relationship officers and other key personnel; and technological developments. Any of these factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Other factors that could cause results to differ from expected results include the acquisitions of Millennium, NorthStar and Great American, any of which could result in costs and expenses that are greater, or benefits that are less, than we currently anticipate, or the assumption of unanticipated liabilities.

INTRODUCTION
The following discussion describes significant changes in the financial condition of the Company that have occurred during the first six months of 2007 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2006. In addition, this discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated results of operations, liquidity and cash flows of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this report and our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The impact and any associated risks related to the Company’s critical accounting policies on business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Management believes there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.5 million and $7.7 million, an increase of 16% and 11%, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $6.9 million for the same periods in 2006. Fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.36, level with second quarter 2006. Fully diluted earnings per share for the first half of 2007 were $0.62 compared to $0.64 for the same period of 2006.

We had planned earnings per share to be flat for the first half of 2007 compared to 2006, but margin and expense factors as well as weaker than expected wealth management revenue and lower net loan growth caused us to miss our six-month target by $0.02 per share. For more information on these items, see the Banking and Wealth Management discussions below.

Total common shares outstanding have increased by almost two million shares since June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of our two Kansas City-based acquisitions; NorthStar in July 2006 and Great American in February 2007. At June 30, 2007 total common shares outstanding were 12.4 million compared to 10.5 million at June 30, 2006.

Noninterest income increased $952,000, or 24%, from $4.0 million in second quarter 2006 to $4.9 million in same quarter of 2007. The increase includes $268,000 of Miscellaneous income generated from the sale of a holding company investment in an investment management firm. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, noninterest income was $8.8 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2006.

Noninterest expenses were $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $9.3 million for the same quarter of 2006, an increase of $3.1 million, or 33%. Noninterest expenses were $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $5.6 million, or 30%, over the same period of 2006. The acquisitions of NorthStar and Great American along with increases in Millennium expenses contributed approximately $2.1 million of the year over year increase. The Company also added new talent and infrastructure to support its expansion in International Banking, Wholesale Banking, Wealth Management and Treasury Management. We have been particularly pleased with several new high-level bankers recruited to our Kansas City team as we deploy to our broadened platform there. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 62% compared to 63% in 2006 and 58% for the first half of 2006.

The provision for income taxes was $2.6 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.2 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 36.4% and 36.3% compared to 36.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

BANKING
This section contains a discussion of acquisitions, loans, deposits, net interest margin and noninterest income and noninterest expense of our Banking business. The discussion of net interest income and margin analysis, including average balance sheets, also includes the impact of the Company’s subordinated debentures.

Acquisitions
On February 28, 2007 the Company completed its acquisition of Kansas City-based Clayco Banc Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Great American Bank. Results for Great American are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company since that date. Please refer to Note 2 – Acquisitions in this filing for more information related to the acquisition. Since July 2006, we have nearly tripled our market position in Kansas City through the NorthStar and Clayco acquisitions, as well as organic growth.

Loan growth
Including Great American, portfolio loans grew by $189 million from December 31, 2006 and were up $392 million or 35% from June 30, 2006. Excluding Great American, during the first six months of 2007, we generated a record $297 million in gross loan fundings – the highest level in the Company’s history. However, payoffs and line paydowns offset all but $21 million of the gross amount.

Competition in both our markets remains intense. We intend to remain disciplined in our loan pricing practices in order to maintain margins. With the exception of residential homebuilders, our loan pipeline remains strong. Loan payoffs in the first half of 2007 were not the result of lost relationships. Many of our payoffs were due to the underlying sales of various real estate properties such as hotels, office buildings and warehouses. In addition, we are not competing as aggressively on credits where we believe appropriate risk premiums are not attainable. Additionally, the volume of residential construction lending has slowed given the softness of the housing market in both St. Louis and Kansas City, along with payoffs due to borrowers refinancing into the long-term, permanent fixed rate market. Lastly, several privately-held companies with whom we had loans were sold to private equity firms or other cash buyers.

Deposit growth
Including Great American, deposits were up $113 million from December 31, 2006. Consistent with our historical trend, we experienced seasonal deposit runoff, but at lower levels. Deposits decreased by $28 million from December 31, 2006 compared to a $41 million decrease from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. Deposits were up $352 million or 33% from June 30, 2006.

We continue to pursue our strategy of obtaining lower cost transaction and relationship-based accounts primarily through our treasury management products and services. In addition, we are closely monitoring our deposit rates compared to our competitors and are making adjustments as market conditions permit.

Our deposit mix remains favorable with demand deposit accounts representing 15% of average deposits in a competitive deposit rate environment. In addition, we plan to continue utilizing Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and short-term brokered certificates of deposit to fund shortfalls due to loan demand. Through June 30, 2007, we have utilized approximately $88 million in short-term FHLB advances and $15 million net in short-term brokered certificates of deposit to fund loan demand. Brokered certificates of deposit represent just 10% of total deposits.

Net Interest Income
Despite the prolonged inverted yield curve and adjusting for the temporary margin impact of nonperforming loans, our rate margin appears to be stabilizing. Our disciplined loan pricing, ability to manage deposit costs more in line with short term interest rate trends and the declining impact of maturing certificates of deposit have contributed to the stabilization.

Three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) was $15.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $12.3 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 25%. Total interest income increased $9.4 million while total interest expense increased $6.3 million.

Average interest-earning assets increased $418 million, or 35% to $1.622 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.204 billion for the same period in 2006. During the same period, average loans increased $417 million, or 39%, from $1.081 billion to $1.498 billion. For the second quarter of 2007, interest income on loans increased $8.3 million from growth and $900,000 due to the impact of rates, for a net increase of $9.2 million versus second quarter of 2006.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $400 million, or 41% to $1.372 billion compared to $972 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The growth in interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a $286 million increase in interest-bearing core deposits, an $83 million increase in brokered certificates of deposit, a $26 million increase in subordinated debentures, and a $5 million increase in borrowed funds including FHLB advances. As previously discussed, we are pursuing lower cost transaction and relationship-based accounts primarily through our treasury management products and services and meeting loan funding shortfalls with FHLB advances and short-term brokered certificates of deposit. For second quarter of 2007, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.7 million due to this growth while the impact of rising rates increased interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities by $1.6 million versus second quarter of 2006.

16

The net interest rate margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) was 3.81% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 4.11% in the same quarter of 2006. The decline was primarily due to the increasing cost of deposits that more than offset higher earning asset yields along with interest reversals on nonperforming loans during the second quarter of 2007. Additionally, higher levels of subordinated debentures associated with the acquisition of Clayco negatively impacted the margin.

Six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) was $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $23.8 million for the same period of 2006, an increase of 24%. Total interest income increased $17.8 million while total interest expense increased $12.1 million.

Average interest-earning assets increased $370 million, or 31%, to $1.555 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.185 billion for the same period in 2006. During the same period, average loans increased $382 million, or 36%, from $1.052 billion to $1.434 billion.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $352 million, or 37%, to $1.306 billion compared to $954 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The net interest rate margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) was 3.83% for the first half of 2007, compared to 4.05% in the same period of 2006. Changes in yields and cost of funds are similar to those described above.

Provision for loan losses and nonperforming loans
The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2007 was $715,000, compared to $737,000 in the same quarter of 2006. Higher nonperforming loan levels and lower net loan growth drove the provision levels in the second quarter. The provision for loan losses in the first half of 2007 was $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.31% at June 30, 2007 compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company had net charge-offs of $232,000, or 0.06% annualized. For the first half of 2007, net charge-offs were $860,000 or 0.13% annualized.

Nonperforming loans were $12.7 million or 0.84% of total loans at June 30, 2007 versus 0.49% at December 31, 2006 and 0.08% at June 30, 2006. We expect $3.3 million of the nonperforming loans to payoff in the third quarter based on sales activity on two of these loans. At June 30, 2007, of the total nonperforming loans, $10.2 million, or 80%, represents four relationships; three residential homebuilders in St. Louis and Kansas City and one commercial property in Kansas City. To-date, most of the nonperforming loans have been isolated in the residential real estate construction loan market. Management believes we are well secured with respect to these loans and does not expect significant losses on the existing nonperforming loans.

The following is a summary of the Company’s credit management policies and procedures.

The Company’s credit management policies and procedures focus on identifying, measuring, and controlling credit exposure. These procedures employ a lender-initiated system of rating credits, which is ratified in the loan approval process and subsequently tested through independent internal loan reviews and regulatory bank examinations. The system requires rating all loans at the time they are made, at each renewal date and as conditions warrant.

Downgrades of loan risk ratings may be initiated by the responsible loan officer, internal loan review, or the credit analyst department at any time. Upgrades of certain risk ratings may only be made with the concurrence of the Senior Credit Administration Officer, Chief Credit Officer and Loan Review Officer.

In determining the allowance and the related provision for loan losses, three principal elements are considered:

1.	specific allocations based upon probable losses identified during a monthly review of the loan portfolio;
2.	allocations based principally on the Company’s risk rating formulas; and
3.	an unallocated allowance based on subjective factors.

Based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of the above elements, provisions are made to the allowance for loan losses. Such provisions are reflected in our consolidated statements of income. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $727,000, or 50% from second quarter 2006 to second quarter 2007. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 73%. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts were primarily due to incremental activity of NorthStar and Great American along with increased account activity. These increases were somewhat offset by a rising earnings credit rate on commercial accounts. Other service charges and fee income increases were the result of higher fee volumes on debit cards, merchant processing and health savings accounts along with NorthStar and Great American deposit fee income. In addition, our International Banking operation, which was formed in August 2006 became fully operational in first quarter 2007.

The higher gain on sale of mortgage loans was due to favorable market conditions for refinancing and the expansion of our Kansas City mortgage operations.

22

Noninterest Expense – Banking
Noninterest expenses in our Banking business increased $2.5 million from $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $8.8 million in the same quarter of 2007. Approximately $841,000 and $825,000 of the increase was related to NorthStar and Great American, respectively (including amortization of intangibles.)

Increases in employee compensation and benefits of $541,000 and $405,000 were related to NorthStar and Great American, respectively. Excluding these expenses, employee compensation and benefits in the Bank increased $147,000. The increase is due to salaries and related benefits of new associates in various areas of our organization including International Banking, Wholesale, Mortgage and other support areas. Approximately $102,000 of the remaining increase is related to vesting of restricted share units and compensation related to newly issued stock-settled stock appreciation rights in our performance-based long-term incentive program. The costs were partially offset by declines in our variable-pay bonus pool.

Increases in Occupancy expense were the result of rent increases on various Company facilities, incremental expenses related to NorthStar and Great American, and Support Center leasehold improvements.

Data processing expenses increased due to upgrades to the Company’s main operating system, licensing fee increases for our core banking system as a result of our increased asset size and increased maintenance fees for various Company systems. Expenses incurred to upgrade NorthStar technology to our platform were capitalized and are being amortized according to the Company’s depreciation policies. To-date, no significant expenses have been incurred to upgrade Great American to our platform since the actual conversion to the Bank’s systems will not occur until early 2008.

Increase in Other noninterest expense includes $73,000 of incremental Great American expenses (including $28,000 for amortization of intangibles.) Other noninterest expenses also includes $195,000 of incremental expenses related to NorthStar (including $108,000 for amortization of intangibles.) The remaining increase in Other noninterest expense is related to increases in general operating expenses.

Noninterest expenses in our Banking business were $17.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $4.6 million, or 37%, over the same period of 2006. Approximately $1.9 million, or 35%, and $1.1 million, or 20%, of the increase was related to NorthStar and Great American, respectively (including amortization of intangibles.)

WEALTH MANAGEMENT
This section contains a discussion of our Wealth Management business, which is comprised of Enterprise Trust and Millennium. Wealth Management is considered a core strategic line of business consistent with our Company mission of “guiding our clients to a lifetime of financial success.” It is a major driver of fee income and is intended to help us diversify our dependency on bank spread incomes.

In aggregate, Wealth Management revenue increased $227,000, or 7%, from $3.2 million in second quarter 2006 to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2007. Enterprise Trust revenues grew 8%, or $139,000 while Millennium revenues grew 6%, or $88,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, in aggregate, Wealth Management revenue decreased $128,000, or 2%, from $6.5 million to $6.4 million. Enterprise Trust revenues grew 8%, or $248,000, while Millennium revenues declined by 11%, or $376,000.

Millennium Brokerage Group
After amortization of intangibles, the cost of related debt, and minority interest, Millennium posted pre-tax earnings of $403,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $668,000 in the same quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Millennium pre-tax earnings were $175,000 compared to $961,000 in the same period of 2006. As further described below in Minority Interest, through June 30, 2007, the Company has accrued 100% of Millennium’s earnings through minority interest. Although paid premiums are up 12% Millennium’s revenue and margin have been lower in the first half of 2007 over the first half of 2006. Two items have impacted Millennium’s revenue and margin:

• Shift in carrier mix – During the first half of 2007, more business has been placed with certain carriers whose contractual payouts to Millennium are lower, thus impacting Millennium’s revenue. Millennium’s decision on where to place business is primarily based on product selection, underwriting and the ease with which Millennium can do business with the carrier. Management believes this is a temporary shift based on current products and underwriting service at various carriers.

• Producer mix – During the first half of 2007, more production has come from producers who earn higher payouts from Millennium, thus lowering Millennium’s net revenue. In addition to the normal variation, a portion of the increase is due to producers who are consolidating into groups in order to earn higher payouts from carriers and brokers organizations like Millennium.

Millennium noninterest expenses were $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $776,000 for the same period of 2006, an increase of $452,000, or 58%. The increase is due to increases in salaries and related benefits of new associates in Finance, Sales and Underwriting as the unit continues to build out its national platform. The remaining increase is due to increases in marketing, meals and entertainment and various taxes. Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2007 were $2.5 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2007.

Minority Interest in Net Income of Consolidated Subsidiary
In 2005, the Company acquired a 60% controlling interest in Millennium. The Company records the 40% non-controlling interest in Millennium, related to Millennium’s results of operations, in minority interest on the consolidated statements of income. Contractually, the Company is entitled to a priority return of 23.1% pre-tax on its current $15 million investment in Millennium before the minority interest holders are entitled to any distributions. The Company adjusted minority interest by $472,000, during the quarter compared to $457,000 for the same quarter of 2006 in order to recognize its priority return in line with its contractual rights.

Enterprise Trust
Enterprise Trust pre-tax earnings in second quarter of 2007 were $320,000, essentially flat in comparison with the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, pre-tax earnings for Enterprise Trust were $504,000 compared to $473,000 for the same period of 2006, an increase of 7%.

Assets under administration in Enterprise Trust have increased 13%, or $206 million in the twelve months since June 30, 2006. Since December 31, 2006, assets under administration in Enterprise Trust have increased $107 million from $1.635 billion to $1.742 billion at June 30, 2007.

As previously discussed, Enterprise Trust is expected to begin operating under a new national trust charter sometime in late 2007 or early 2008. In conjunction with the new charter, the unit is rolling out new pricing strategies and service lines intended to better serve the majority our clients and prospects. Management believes these new initiatives will provide increased leverage and additional fee income for our Trust business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the Company has the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet its commitments as they become due. Funds are available from a number of sources, such as from the core deposit base and from loans and securities repayments and maturities. Liquidity is also provided from sales of the securities portfolio, lines of credit with major banks, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank, the ability to acquire large and brokered deposits and the ability to sell loan participations to other banks.

The Company’s liquidity management framework includes measurement of several key elements, such as the loan to deposit ratio, wholesale deposits as a percentage of total deposits, and various dependency ratios used by banking regulators. The Company’s liquidity framework also incorporates contingency planning to assess the nature and volatility of funding sources and to determine alternatives to these sources.

Strong capital ratios, credit quality and core earnings are essential to retaining cost-effective access to the wholesale funding markets. Deterioration in any of these factors could have an impact on the Company’s ability to access these funding sources and, as a result, these factors are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the liquidity management process.

While core deposits and loan and investment repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management. Diversity is achieved by strategically varying depositor types, terms, funding markets, and instruments.

The parent company’s liquidity is managed to provide the funds necessary to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries as necessary, and satisfy other operating requirements. The parent company’s primary funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements are dividends from subsidiaries, borrowings against its $15 million line of credit with a major bank, and proceeds from the issuance of equity (i.e. stock option exercises). Another source of funding for the parent company includes the issuance of subordinated debentures. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $55 million of outstanding subordinated debentures as part of eight Trust Preferred Securities Pools. Three of these debentures were related to the Clayco acquisition; two were acquired in the acquisition and one was issued to partially fund the acquisition. These securities are classified as debt but are included in regulatory capital and the related interest expense is tax-deductible, which makes them a very attractive source of funding.

24

Investment securities are an important tool to the Company’s liquidity objective. As of June 30, 2007, the entire investment portfolio was available for sale. Of the $112 million investment portfolio available for sale, $38 million was pledged as collateral for public deposits, treasury, tax and loan notes, and other requirements. The remaining securities could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity if necessary.

The Bank has a variety of funding sources (in addition to key liquidity sources, such as core deposits, loan repayments, loan participations sold, and investment portfolio sales) available to increase financial flexibility. At June 30, 2007, under blanket loan pledges, absent being in default of their respective credit agreements, the Bank had $141 million available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and Great American had $18 million available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. The Bank also had $181 million available from the Federal Reserve Bank under pledged loan agreements. The Bank also has access to over $70 million in overnight federal funds lines purchased from various banking institutions, while Great American had $21 million available in the form of overnight federal funds lines from various banking institutions. Finally, because both the Bank and Great American plan to remain “well-capitalized”, they have the ability to sell certificates of deposit through various national or regional brokerage firms, if needed.

Over the normal course of business, the Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through the Company’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of the Company’s liquidity. The Company has $496 million in unused loan commitments as of June 30, 2007. While this commitment level would be very difficult to fund on a short term basis given the Company’s current liquidity resources, our experience is that the nature of these commitments are such that the likelihood of such a funding demand is very low.

The Company and its banking affiliates are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its banking affiliates must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banking affiliate’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its banking affiliates to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, that the Company and its banking affiliates meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, both banking affiliates were categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios.

The following table summarizes the Company’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at the dates indicated.

	At June 30,			At December 31,

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The disclosures set forth in this item are qualified by the section captioned “Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements set forth elsewhere in this report.

Market risk arises from exposure to changes in interest rates and other relevant market or price risks. The Company faces market risk in the form of interest rate risk through transactions other than trading activities. Market risk from these activities, in the form of interest rate risk, is measured and managed through a number of methods. The Company uses financial modeling techniques to measure interest rate risk. These techniques measure the sensitivity of future earnings due to changing interest rate environments. Guidelines established by the Asset/Liability Management Committees and approved by the Boards of Directors are used to monitor exposure of earnings at risk. General interest rate movements are used to develop sensitivity as the banking affiliate feels it has no primary exposure to a specific point on the yield curve. These limits are based on the banking affliate’s exposure to a 100 bp and 200 bp immediate and sustained parallel rate move, either upward or downward.
