Overland Park, Kansas 66225
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Blue Valley Ban Corp. as of September 30, 2010, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 23, 2010 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010, and the condensed consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and are of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company, as of December 31, 2009, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. |
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2009 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
The report ofBKD, llpcommenting upon their review accompanies the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I. |
Note 2: Recent and Future Accounting Pronouncements
On June 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revisions to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 860-10, ASC 860-40, ASC 860-50 which enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and the company’s continuing involvement in transferred assets. This statement removes the concept of qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires enhanced disclosures to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter (effective January 1, 2010 for the Company). There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this update. |
On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued revisions to ASC 805-20, ASC 810-10 which requires a company to perform a qualitative analysis when determining whether it must consolidate a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the company that has both the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. This statement requires the company to perform ongoing reassessments to determine if it must consolidate a variable interest entity. This statement requires disclosures about the company’s involvement with the variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement, how the involvement affects the company’s financial statements, and significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether it must consolidate the variable interest entity. |

Note 2: Recent and Future Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter (effective January 1, 2010 for the Company). There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this update. |
On January 10, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06. This ASU amends ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements,and adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy and additional disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements related to Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the update clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The ASU also amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about post retirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715 to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major classes of assets. The ASU is generally effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009 (effective January 1, 2010 for the Company). The only exception is the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity on a gross basis, which has an effective date for fiscal year ends beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this update. |
On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20,Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU amends FASB ASC Topic 310,Receivables, to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. |
Existing disclosures are amended to require an entity to provide a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period on a portfolio segment basis, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of the impairment method. For each disaggregated ending balance in the rollforward schedule, the related recorded investment in financing receivables must be disclosed. The disclosure would include the nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class of financing receivables, as well as the impaired financing receivables by class of financing receivables. |
The amendments in the ASU also require an entity to provide the following additional disclosures about its financing receivables: (1) the credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; (2) the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; (3) the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses; (4) the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses; and (5) significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the reporting period disaggregated by portfolio segment. |
For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Upon adoption, management does not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Note 3: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The computation of per share earnings (loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows: |

Stock options to purchase 33,875 and 50,725 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making the options anti-dilutive. |
Income available for common stockholders is reduced by dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not they are paid) and the accretion of the warrants. |

(A) | Due in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018; collateralized by various assets including mortgage-backed loans and available-for-sale securities. The interest rates on the advances range from 0.36% to 4.26%. Federal Home Loan Bank advance availability is determined quarterly and at September 30, 2010, approximately $25,441,000 was available. Advances are made at the discretion of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. | ||
In the third quarter of 2010, the Company repaid $42,500,000 of FHLB advances by rolling the net present value of the advances being repaid into the funding cost of $42,500,000 of new advances. A $2,569,000 penalty was associated with paying off the original FHLB advances which will be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the new FHLB advances using the straight line method. This transaction reduced the effective interest rate, as well as modified the maturity date on these borrowings. | |||

The Company may prepay the subordinated debentures beginning in 2008, in whole or in part, at their face value plus accrued interest. | ||
(C) | Due in 2035; interest only at LIBOR + 1.60% (1.89% at September 30, 2010 and 1.85% at December 31, 2009) due quarterly; fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis to the extent that the funds are held by the Trust. Subordinated to the trust preferred securities (B) due in 2033. The Company may prepay the subordinated debentures beginning in 2010, in whole or in part, at their face value plus accrued interest. |

Note 6: Long-Term Debt (Continued)
At the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, quarterly payments are being deferred on the Company’s outstanding trust preferred securities. Under the governing documents of BVBC Capital Trust II and III, the quarterly payments due on April 24, 2009 through October 24, 2010 for BVBC Capital Trust II and March 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010 for BVBC Capital Trust III were deferred. The Company has the right to declare such a deferral for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods and deferral may only be declared as long as the Company is not then in default under the provisions of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement. During the deferral period, interest on the indebtedness continues to accrue and the unpaid interest is compounded. In addition, for BVBC Capital Trust III, the Company must also accrue additional interest that is equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 1.60% during the deferral period. All accrued interest and compounded interest must be paid at the end of the deferral period. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had accrued $1,373,000 for interest on outstanding trust preferred securities. | ||
For both BVBC Capital Trust II and BVBC Capital Trust III, as long as the deferral period continues, the Company is prohibited from: (i) declaring or paying any dividend on any of its capital stock, which would include both its common stock and the outstanding preferred stock issued to the United States Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”), or (ii) making any payment on any debt security that is ranked pair passu with the debt securities issued by the respective trusts. Because the Preferred Shares issued under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan (the “CPP”) are subordinate to the trust preferred securities, the Company will be restricted from paying dividends on these Preferred Shares until such time as all trust preferred dividends have been brought current. | ||
Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt at September 30, 2010 are as follows: |

Note 7: Derivative Instruments
The Company has commitments outstanding to extend credit on residential mortgages that have not closed prior to the end of the period. As the Company enters into commitments to originate these loans, it also enters into commitments to sell the loans in the secondary market on a best-efforts basis. The Company acquires such commitments to reduce interest rate risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale. These commitments to originate or sell loans on a best efforts basis are considered derivative instruments under ASC 815.These statements require the Company to recognize all derivative instruments in the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. As a result of measuring the fair value of the commitments to originate loans, the Company recorded a decrease of $10,000 in other assets, an increase in other liabilities of $12,000 and a decrease in other income of $22,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The Company recorded an increase in other assets of $16,000, a decrease in other liabilities of $33,000 and an increase in other income of $49,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. | ||
Additionally, the Company has commitments to sell loans that have closed prior to the end of the period on a best efforts basis. Due to the mark to market adjustment on commitments to sell loans held for sale the Company recorded an increase in other assets of $153,000, a decrease in other liabilities of $1,000 and an increase in other income of $154,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The Company recorded a decrease in other assets of $92,000, an increase in other liabilities of $3,000 and a decrease in other income of $95,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. | ||
Total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to $6,770,000 at September 30, 2010. Related forward commitments to sell mortgage loans amounted to approximately $8,989,000 at September 30, 2010. | ||
The balance of derivative instruments related to commitments to originate and sell loans at September 30, 2010, is disclosed in Note 9, Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. |
Note 8: Fair Value Option
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adoptedThe Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,which was subsequently incorporated into FASB Accounting Standards Codification in Topic 825, for mortgage loans held for sale originated after April 1, 2009. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. An entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date. | ||
In accordance with ASC 825, the Company has elected to measure loans held for sale at fair value. Loans held for sale is made up entirely of mortgage loans held for immediate sale in the secondary market with servicing release. These loans are sold prior to origination at a contracted price to an outside investor on a best efforts basis and remain on the Company’s balance sheet for a short period of time (typically 30 to 60 days). It is management’s opinion given the short-term nature of |

these loans, that fair value provides a reasonable measure of the economic value of these assets. In addition, carrying such loans at fair value eliminates some measure of volatility created by the timing of sales proceeds from outside investors, which typically occur in the month following origination. | ||
The difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale was $23,000 at September 30, 2010. A loss from fair value changes included in loans held for sale fee income were $57,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and a gain of $134,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest income on loans held for sale is included in interest and fees on loans in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 9 for additional disclosures regarding fair value of mortgage loans held for sale. |
Note 9: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: |
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. |
Available-for-Sale Securities | ||
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government sponsored agencies. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include other less liquid securities. |

Note 9: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale | ||
Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using market prices for loans with similar characteristics. This measurement is classified as Level 2 within the hierarchy. | ||
Commitments to Originate Loans and Forward Sales Commitments | ||
Commitments to originate loans and forward sales commitments are valued using a valuation model which considers differences between quoted prices for loans with similar characteristics in the secondary market and the committed rates. The valuation model includes assumptions which adjust the price for the likelihood that the commitment will ultimately result in a closed loan. These measurements are significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy. | ||
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009: |

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial and nonfinancial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. | ||
Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent) | ||
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. | ||
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method. |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value. | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value. | ||
Loans | ||
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value. | ||
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock, and other securities | ||
The carrying amounts for these securities approximate their fair value. |

Note 9: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)
Deposits | ||
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. | ||
Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities | ||
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. | ||
Long-Term Debt | ||
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. | ||
Commitments to Extend Credit, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit | ||
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. |

Note 10: Dividends on Preferred Shares
At the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the Company notified the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) of its intention to defer the quarterly dividend payments on the Preferred Shares due to the Treasury since May 15, 2009. The dividend payment due on August 15, 2010 was the sixth dividend payment deferred by the Company. As part of the Capital Purchase Plan, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Treasury on December 5, 2008, which includes a Securities Purchase Agreement-Standard Terms. As part of the agreement, dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid. Failure by the Company to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. However, a failure to pay a total of six Preferred Share dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Preferred Shares the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. That right would continue until the Company pays all dividends in arrears. At this time, the Treasury has not elected a director to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors however will be sending an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings. The Company has accrued for the dividends and interest and has every intention to bring the obligation current as soon as permitted. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had accrued $1,694,000 for dividends and interest on outstanding Preferred Shares.

The Company is unable to predict the actual results of its future plans or strategies with certainty. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing; inability to maintain or increase deposit base and secure adequate funding; a continued deterioration of general economic conditions or the demand for housing in the Company’s market areas; a deterioration in the demand for mortgage financing; legislative or regulatory changes; regulatory action; continued adverse developments in the Company’s loan or investment portfolio; any inability to obtain funding on favorable terms; the Company’s non-payment on TARP funds or Trust Preferred Securities; the loss of key personnel; significant increases in competition; potential unfavorable results of litigation to which the Company may become a party; and the possible dilutive effect of potential acquisitions or expansions.

General
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are largely proscribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. After a review of our policies, we determined that accounting for the allowance for loan losses and income taxes are deemed critical accounting policies because of the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of certain financial statement amounts to the methods, as well as the assumptions and estimates underlying that policy. Accounting for this critical area requires the most subjective and complex judgments that could be subject to revision as new information becomes available. Further description of our critical accounting policy can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $382,000 compared to net loss of $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, representing an increase of $4.6 million, or 109.16%. The earnings per share on a diluted basis was $0.04 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to diluted loss per share of $1.61 in the same period of 2009. The Company’s annualized returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, were 0.20%

and 1.20%, compared to negative 2.03% and negative 38.75%, respectively, for the same period in 2009, representing increases of 109.85% and 103.10%, respectively.
The primary factor contributing to the improvement in the current year third quarter results compared with the prior year period was a decrease in the provision for loan losses. There was no provision for loan losses for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company has experienced a reduction in non-performing loans by $10.8 million, or 25.51%, and a decline in net loan charge offs by $3.4 million, or 43.76%, since September 30, 2009 and based on analysis of the loan portfolio, no provision for loan losses was deemed necessary. The significant provision for loan losses recorded during 2009 was a result of refining the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology to better reflect the inherent losses in the loan portfolio and to increase the general reserves on our performing loans to reflect the impact of the economic conditions.
Net interest income decreased $213,000, or 4.88%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline in net interest income was a result of a change in asset mix, specifically higher federal funds sold and other short-term investment balances with lower yields. Lower average outstanding loan balances have also contributed to the decline in interest income. Average outstanding loan balances for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year, declined by $86.0 million, or 14.51%, as a result of several large loan payoffs, loan foreclosures, and lower loan origination volume as a result of the current economic environment. The decline in interest income was partly offset by lower interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a decline in the rates paid on deposits. As market rates have declined, the rates on deposits have also declined. In the third quarter of 2010 the Company had funds from various certificate of deposit promotions mature and as those higher rate certificates matured they were renewed at lower market rates. In addition, the Company entered into a restructuring transaction during the third quarter of 2010 of $42.5 million of its Federal Home Loan Bank advances. This transaction reduced the effective interest rate, as well as modified the maturity date on these borrowings.
Non-interest income increased $755,000, or 40.92%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was a result of an increase in other income by $407,000, or 830.61%, during the third quarter of 2010, as compared with the third quarter of 2009, due to the effect of recording the net fair value of certain mortgage loan-related commitments. The net fair value of certain mortgage loan-related commitments recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was a gain of $132,000 compared to a $320,000 loss adjustment recorded for the same period in 2009. The improvement in non-interest income was also a result of an increase in mortgage loans held for sale origination and refinancing volume during the third quarter of 2010 by 8.3% and as a result of gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $342,000. There were $14.0 million securities sold during the third quarter of 2010 to reduce the long term maturity risk within the investment portfolio. Other service charges income, which includes income from trust services, investment brokerage, merchant bankcard processing and debit card processing, increased by $95,000, or 21.06%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The improvement was a result of an increase in income generated from signature based debit card transactions associated with our performance checking, as well as increased activity in our investment brokerage department and trust department.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
Non-interest expense decreased $460,000, or 6.97%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in non-interest expense was attributed to the decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $225,000, or 7.06%, as a result of lower salaries expense due to staff restructuring in the third quarter of 2009 and lower commissions paid during the period on mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market as a result of the change in the commission structure for each loan originated and sold. In addition, other operating expense decreased $219,000, or 8.14%, due to lower expense related to foreclosed assets held for sale as a result of a reduction in the number of construction and rehab properties held for sale. These expenses include insurance, appraisals, utilities, real estate property taxes, legal, repairs and maintenance, and associated loss on sale.
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $1.7 million, compared to net loss of $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, representing an improvement of $10.4 million, or 85.89%. Diluted loss per share was negative $0.91 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to negative $4.66 in the same period of 2009, an improvement of 80.47%. The Company’s annualized return on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, were negative 0.28% and negative 8.96%, compared to negative 1.96% and negative 34.84%, respectively, for the same period in 2009, improvements of 85.71% and 74.28%, respectively.
The primary factor contributing to the improvement in the current results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the prior year period, was a decrease in the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $1.5 million, compared to $19.1 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $17.6 million, or 92.42%. The Company has experienced a reduction in non-performing loans by $10.8 million, or 25.51%, and a decline in net loan charge offs by $3.4 million, or 43.76%, since September 30, 2009 and based on analysis of the loan portfolio, a $1.5 million provision for loan losses was deemed necessary. The significant provision for loan losses recorded during 2009 was a result of refining the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology to better reflect the inherent losses in the loan portfolio and to increase the general reserves on our performing loans to reflect the impact of the economic conditions.
Net interest income declined $2.3 million, or 16.95%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in net interest income was a result of a change in asset mix, specifically higher federal funds sold and other short-term investment balances with lower yields. Lower average outstanding loan balances have also contributed to the decline in interest income. Average outstanding loan balances for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in the prior year, declined $96.5 million, or 15.55%, as a result of several large loan payoffs, loan foreclosures, and lower loan origination volume as a result of the current economic environment. The decline in interest income was offset by lower interest expense. Interest expense has declined $2.5 million, or 17.78%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a decrease in rates paid on deposits. As market rates have declined, the rates on deposits have also declined. In the third quarter of 2010 the Company had funds from various certificate of deposit promotions mature, and as those higher rate certificates matured they were renewed at lower market rates. In addition, the Company entered into a restructuring transaction during the third quarter of 2010 of $42.5 million of its Federal Home Loan Bank advances. This transaction reduced the effective interest rate, as well as modified the maturity date on these borrowings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
Non-interest income declined by $535,000, or 8.17%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. This was the result of a decrease in other income of $583,000, or 40.57%, as a result of lower gains realized on the sale of foreclosed assets held for sale as compared to the prior year period. In addition, in 2009 the Company recognized $100,000 discount on the early payoff of Blue Valley Building Corp. term notes. Non-interest income has also declined as a result of a decline in service fees, specifically NSF charges and service fees. The decrease in these fees was due to fewer overdraft items by our customers and a decrease in account service charges in commercial accounts as a result of a change in account service charges on commercial accounts. The decrease in non-interest income was offset by an increase in other service charges income by $203,000, or 15.64%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, due to an increase in the income generated from signature based debit card transactions associated with our performance checking product and increased activity in our investment brokerage department. In addition, the Company experienced an increase in gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale securities by $91,000, or 26.30%. There were $19.0 million securities sold during 2010 to reduce the long term maturity risk within the investment portfolio, compared to $11.0 million in 2009. The decrease in non-interest income was also offset by an increase in loans held for sale fee income of $78,000, or 3.37%, as a result of gains realized on mortgage loans held for sale of $134,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $16,000 in the prior year period.
Non-interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 8.00%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in the provision for other real estate recorded by the Company for declines in real estate values. The Company recorded a provision of $302,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to a provision of $988,000 for the same period in 2009. Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest expense was a decline in salaries and employee benefits by $535,000, or 5.73%, as a result of lower salaries expense due to staff restructuring in the third quarter of 2009 and lower commissions paid during the period on mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market as a result of decreased origination volume and a change in the commission structure for each loan originated and sold. The decrease was partly offset by a higher insurance assessment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as a result the increase in assessment rates by the FDIC in 2009.
Net Interest Income
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.Fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, was $4.2 million, a decrease of $213,000, or 4.88%, from $4.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009.
FTE interest income for the current year third quarter was $7.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 13.38%, from $8.8 million in the prior year third quarter. This decrease was primarily a result of a decline in rates earned on average earning assets and a change in asset mix, specifically higher average federal funds sold and other short-term investment balances with lower yields. The overall yield on average earning assets decreased 41 basis points to 4.29% during the three month period ending September 30, 2010, compared to 4.70% during the same period in 2009. Another factor contributing to lower interest income was a decrease in the average outstanding balance of loans. The average outstanding balance of loans has decreased by $86.0 million, or 14.51%, as a result of several larger loan payoffs, loan foreclosures, and lower loan origination volume due to the current economic environment. Average available federal funds sold and other short-term investments

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
increased by $26.5 million, or 33.20%. The increase in average federal funds sold and other short-term investments was a result of a decline in average outstanding balance of loans. Interest income on available-for-sale securities increased $80,000, or 18.69%, as a result of an increase in the average balance of available-for-sale securities by $24.5 million, or 40.39%, over the same period in the prior year. The Company invested excess funds from loan collections into available-for-sale securities.
Interest expense for the current year third quarter was $3.5 million, a decrease of $965,000, or 21.74%, from $4.4 million in the prior year third quarter. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities resulting from the impact of the lower market interest rates on interest-bearing demand accounts, time deposits and long-term debt. The rate paid on total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.20% for the three month period ending September 30, 2010, compared to 2.68% in the same period of 2009, a decrease of 48 basis points. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $30.6 million, or 4.66%, to $625.6 million during the third quarter of 2010, compared to $656.2 million during the prior year period. The decrease was attributed to decreases in time deposits, savings and money market deposits, other interest-bearing liabilities and long-term debt. Average time deposits decreased $42.5 million, or 12.52%, as a result of the Company not renewing brokered deposits as they matured. The Company replaced brokered funds with core deposits by generating increased interest in our performance checking product. In addition, as higher rate certificate of deposits mature they were renewed at lower market rates. The decrease was offset by increases in average interest-bearing demand accounts by $23.9 million, or 23.42%, as a result of an increase in the performance checking product. Interest expense for long-term debt is lower as a result of the Company entered into a restructuring transaction of $42.5 million of its Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the third quarter of 2010, thus lowering overall interest expense on these borrowings.
Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. FTE net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, was $11.5 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 16.95%, from $13.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.
FTE interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $22.9 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 17.37%, from $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was a result of an overall decrease in rates earned on average earning assets and a change in asset mix, specifically higher federal funds sold and other short-term investment balances with lower yields. The overall yield on average earning assets decreased by 68 basis points to 4.21% for the period ending September 30, 2010, compared to 4.89% for the prior year period. Another factor contributing to lower interest income was a decrease in the average outstanding balance of loans. The average balance of loans has decreased by $96.5 million, or 15.55%, as a result of several larger loan payoffs, loan foreclosures, and lower loan origination volume due to the current economic environment. Average available federal funds sold and other short-term investments increased $40.5 million, or 59.40%. The increase in average federal funds sold and other short-term investments was a result of a decline in average outstanding balance of loans.
Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, was $11.4 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 17.78%, from $13.9 million in the same period of the prior year. The decline in interest expense resulted from a decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities resulting from the impact of lower market interest rates on interest-bearing demand accounts, time deposits and long-term debt. The rate paid on total average interest-bearing

liabilities decreased 46 basis points to 2.33% during the nine month period ending September 30, 2010, compared to 2.79% during the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $11.0 million, or 1.65%, to $654.1 million during the nine month period ending September 30, 2010, compared to $665.1 million during the prior year period. Average time deposits decreased $23.4 million, or 6.70%, as a result of the Company not renewing $39.9 million in brokered deposits as they matured. The Company replaced brokered funds with core deposits by generating increased interest in performance checking product and time deposit promotions. In addition, as higher rate certificate of deposits mature they were renewed at lower market rates. Average other interest-bearing liabilities decreased $6.2 million, or 25.93%, due to an overall decrease in repurchase agreement balances as customers have moved their funds into Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program. These decreases were offset by an increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $31.8 million, or 34.50%, as a result of growth experienced in balances of our performance checking product. The decrease in average long-term debt by $3.8 million, or 3.57%, was due to the Company paying off $5.3 million related to Blue Valley Building Corp. debt in June 2009. Interest expense for long-term debt is lower as a result of the Company entered into a restructuring transaction of $42.5 million of its Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the third quarter of 2010, thus lowering overall interest expense on these borrowings.
.Average Balance Sheets. The following table sets forth, for the periods and as of the dates indicated, information regarding our average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the dollar amounts of FTE interest income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant yields or costs. Ratio, yield and rate information are based on average daily balances where available; otherwise, average monthly balances have been used. Non-accrual loans are included in the calculation of average balances for loans for the periods indicated. For explanation of changes between periods reported within the table see Net Interest Income and the Financial Condition sections under Item 2.

Provision for Loan Losses
There was no provision for loan losses recorded for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $6.2 million in the same period of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the provision for loan losses was $1.5 million and $19.1 million, respectively. The Company has experienced a reduction in non-performing loans by $10.8 million, or 25.51%, and a decline in net loan charge offs by $3.4 million, or 43.76%, since September 30, 2009 and based on analysis of the loan portfolio, a $1.5 million provision for loan losses was deemed necessary. The significant provision for loan losses recorded during 2009 was a result of refining the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology to better reflect the inherent losses in the loan portfolio and a result of worsening economic conditions in the economy. Economic conditions monitored include, but are not limited to: Johnson County, KS unemployment rate; Johnson County, KS consumer confidence; foreclosure rates; vacancy property rates; stock market performance; inflation; and interest rates. Management assessed the loan portfolio, specifically the non-performing loans, on a credit by credit basis, to assess the reserve requirement. Management believes they have identified the significant non-performing loans and will continue to aggressively pursue collection of these loans. If the recent trend is more prolonged than management anticipates and losses increase we could experience higher than anticipated loan losses in the future.
The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts that management deems necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The allowance for loan losses is based upon the analysis of several factors, including general economic conditions, analysis of impaired loans, the general reserve factors, changes in loan mix, classified loans to total risk weighted capital and current and historical charge-offs by loan type. Historical charge off information currently utilized is based on three year weighted average of net charge offs by loan type with more weight given to more current data due to the current economic environment. The Company’s credit administration function performs monthly analyses on the loan portfolio to assess and report on risk levels, delinquencies, internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. Management and the Bank’s Board of Directors review the allowance for loan losses monthly, considering such factors as current and projected economic conditions, loan growth, the composition of the loan portfolio, loan trends and classifications, and other factors. The allowance for loan losses represents our best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred as of the respective balance sheet dates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
the Company recording the net fair value of certain mortgage loan-related commitments. The effect of recording the net fair value of certain mortgage loan-related commitments to other income was a gain of $132,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a loss of $320,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income was also a result of an increase in mortgage loans held for sale origination and refinancing volume during the third quarter of 2010 by 8.3% and as a result of gains realized on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $342,000. The Company sold $14.0 million in available-for-sale securities during the third quarter of 2010 to reduce the long term maturity risk within the portfolio. There were no securities sold during the third quarter of 2009.
Non-interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, was $6.0 million, a decrease of $535,000, or 8.17%, from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30 2009. The primary reason for the decrease in non-interest income was a decrease in other income of $583,000, or 40.57%, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of lower gains realized on the sale of foreclosed assets held for sale as compared to the prior year period. In addition, in 2009 the Company recognized a $100,000 discount on the early payoff of Blue Valley Building Corp. term notes. The decrease in non-interest income was offset by an increase in gains realized on available-for-sale securities by $91,000, or 26.30%. There were $19.0 million securities sold during 2010 compared to $11.00 million in 2009.
Other factors contributing to changes in non-interest income include an increase in loans held for sale fee income of $38,000, or 3.92%, and $78,000, or 3.37%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. This increase was primarily due to the gains realized on mortgage loans held for sale of $134,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, as compared to a gain of $16,000 for the same period in 2009 as a result of the Company adopting the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities (ASC 825) as of April 1, 2009. The increase was partially offset by a decline in the volume of mortgage loans held for sale originations and refinancing for the nine month period. NSF charges and service fees decreased by $127,000, or 33.78%, and $324,000, or 28.15%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease was due to fewer overdraft items by our customers and a decrease in account service charges on commercial accounts. Other service charges income, which includes income from trust services, investment brokerage, merchant bankcard processing and debit card processing, increased by $95,000, or 21.06%, and $203,000, or 15.64%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase was primarily attributed to income generated from signature based debit card transactions associated with our performance checking product and increased activity in our investment brokerage department. Future growth of other non-interest income categories is dependent on new product development and growth in our customer base.

Non-interest expense decreased $460,000, or 6.97%, to $6.1 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $6.6 million during the prior year period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, non-interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 8.00%, to $18.7 million compared to $20.3 million in the prior year period. The change was attributed to a decrease in other operating expenses of $219,000, or 8.14%, and $1.0 million, or 11.77%, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline in other operating expenses was a result of the Company recording a $302,000 provision for other real estate in 2010 compared to $988,000 in 2009 as a result of the decline in real estate values. In addition, expenses related to other real estate owned decreased $198,000, or 41.48%, and $321,000, or 24.86%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of a reduction in the number of construction and rehab properties held for sale. The decrease was partly offset by a higher deposit insurance assessment by the FDIC as a result of the increase in assessment rates by the FDIC during 2009.
Another factor contributing to the decrease in non-interest expense was a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $225,000, or 7.06%, and $535,000, or 5.73%, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was a result of lower salaries expense as a result of staff restructuring in the third quarter 0f 2009 and lower commissions paid during 2010, as compared to the prior year period, on mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market as a result of decreased origination and refinancing volume and a change in the commission structure for each loan originated and sold. Net occupancy expense decreased slightly by $16,000, or 2.22%, and $49,000, or 2.28%, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as a result of lower repairs and maintenance expenses.
Financial Condition
Total assets for the Company at September 30, 2010, were $755.4 million, a decrease of $18.6 million, or 2.40%, compared to $774.0 million at December 31, 2009. Deposits were $569.5 million compared with $590.1 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $20.6 million, or 3.49%. Stockholders’ equity was $58.8 million at September 30, 2010, compared with $60.6 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 3.00%.
Investments.Available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2010, totaled $76.5 million, reflecting a 5.09% increase from $72.8 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was a result of the purchase of $84.9 million in available-for-sale securities during 2010. The Company purchased the investments to replace $63.0 million called or matured securities and to invest excess liquidity in

higher yielding investments. In addition, the Company sold $19.0 million in available-for-sale securities to reduce long term maturity risk within the investment portfolio.
Loans Held for Sale.Mortgage loans held for sale at September 30, 2010, totaled $9.0 million, an increase of $237,000, or 2.71%, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2009. As of April 1, 2009, the Company elected to carry loans held for sale at fair value. The volume of loans held for sale originated during 2010 slowed as a result of a slow down in mortgage originations and refinancing due to rate and economic environment. During the third quarter 2010, the volume of mortgage loans held for sale origination and refinancing has increased as a result of a decline in mortgage rates during the period.
Loans.Loans at September 30, 2010, totaled $500.2 million, reflecting a decrease of $53.9 million, or 9.72%, compared to $554.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in the loan portfolio was attributed to several larger loans paying off, the foreclosure of approximately $10.4 million of foreclosed assets held for sale during 2010, and lower loan originations due to the current economic conditions. The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 2010, was 87.83% compared to 93.90% at December 31, 2009.
Non-performing assets consist primarily of loans past due 90 days or more, non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status at 90 days past due and interest accrued to date is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is generally accounted for on a cost recovery basis, meaning interest is not recognized until the past due balance has been collected. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Non-performing loans decreased to $31.6 million at September 30, 2010, from $34.9 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in non-performing loans was attributed to a decrease in non-performing residential real estate loans by $2.3 million, non-performing commercial real estate loans by $953,000, and non-performing commercial loans by $674,000 from December 31, 2009. These decreases were primarily the result of several larger loan payoffs and the foreclosure on three credit relationships. The decrease was partly offset by an increase in non-performing construction loans by $492,000 and non-performing home equity loans by $186,000. The increase in the construction loan portfolio was a result of the deterioration of two builder relationships as a result of industry decline in the real estate market and general economy. If the trend continues in the loan portfolio, it could result in an increase in non-performing assets and foreclosed assets held for sale. We closely monitor non-performing credit relationships and our philosophy has been to value non-performing loans at their estimated collectible value and to aggressively manage these situations. Foreclosed assets held for sale were $21.4 million as of September 30, 2010. The Company has sold $8.4 million in foreclosed assets and has transferred $10.8 million in loans to foreclosed property during 2010. The Company is actively marketing these properties and working to reduce the balance of foreclosed assets held for sale.

Deposits.Deposits decreased by $20.6 million, or 3.49%, to $569.5 million as of September 30, 2010, compared with $590.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in time deposits of $42.0 million, or 14.27%, as a result of brokered time deposits of $28.4 million that were not renewed as they matured during 2010. In addition, the Company had $25.0 million in public funds in the CDARS program mature and not renew in September 2010. As these funds go out for bid, the Company has the opportunity to make a bid for the funds. The increase in savings, NOW and money market deposits of $2.9 million, or 1.42%, was specifically due to growth experienced in our performance checking accounts. The performance checking product has been attractive to our market as it pays a higher rate of interest to the customer on balances up to $25,000 as long as the customer has 12 signature based debit card transactions and at least one ACH direct deposit each statement cycle. The Company realizes non-interest income from the signature based debit card transactions that when netted against the high rate paid to the customer, results in a very attractive cost of funds for the Company. Demand deposits increased $17.7 million, or 20.35%, to $109.7 million as of September 30, 2010, compared with $91.2 million at December 31, 2009. The Company continues to work on replacing brokered funds with core deposits by generating interest in the performance checking product, as well as other products offered by the Company.
Liquidity.Liquidity is measured by a financial institution’s ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of marketable assets, such as residential mortgage loans or a portfolio of SBA loans. Other sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved through growth of core deposits and liquid assets, and accessibility to the money and capital markets. The funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans and operate the organization. Core deposits, defined as demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, savings deposits and time deposits less than $100,000 (excluding brokered deposits), were 73.83% and 69.76% of our total deposits at September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. Although classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purpose, funds placed through the CDARS program are Bank customer relationships that management views as core deposits. If CDARS deposits under $100,000 placed in the CDARS program are added back, our core deposit ratio would be 76.42% at September 30, 2010, and 74.11% at December 31, 2009. Generally, the Company’s funding strategy is to fund loan growth with core deposits and utilize alternative sources of funds such as advances/borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLBank”), as well as the brokered CD market to provide for additional liquidity needs and take advantage of opportunities for lower costs. If needed, FHLBank borrowings are used to fund originations of mortgage loans held for sale. Advance availability with the FHLBank fluctuates depending on levels of available collateral and is determined daily with regards to mortgage loans held for sale and quarterly with regards to overall availability and at September 30, 2010, approximately $25.4 million was available. Advances are made at the discretion of the FHLBank.
In addition, the Company uses other forms of short-term debt for cash management and liquidity management purposes on a limited basis. These forms of borrowings include federal funds purchased and revolving lines of credit. The Bank has a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The availability on the line of credit fluctuates depending on the level of available collateral, which includes commercial and commercial real estate loans. Availability on the line of credit at September 30, 2010, was approximately $23.9 million. Advances are made at the discretion of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

The Company also uses the brokered market as a source of liquidity. As of September 30, 2010, excluding CDARS as described above, the Company had approximately $17.2 million in brokered deposits compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $28.4 million, or 62.28%. The decrease in brokered deposits was the result of the Company not renewing the deposits as they mature.
As a result of an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Office of the State Banking Commissioner of Kansas, prior regulatory approval is currently required prior to the payment of dividends by the Bank. In prior years, the Company has relied on dividends from the Bank to assist in making debt service and dividend payments. The Company has also agreed at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank to defer interest payments and not pay dividends on trust preferred securities or any of its equity securities without prior regulatory approval in an effort to preserve capital. As a result, the Company deferred the payment of quarterly interest related to trust preferred securities of BVBC Capital Trust III due March 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010 and the quarterly payment of interest related to trust preferred securities of BVBC Capital Trust II due on April, 24, 2009 through October 24, 2010. In addition, at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the Company notified the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) of its intention to defer the quarterly dividend payments on the Preferred Shares since May 15, 2009. The dividend payment due August 15, 2010 was the sixth dividend deferred by the Company. As part of the agreement, dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid. Failure by the Company to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. However, a failure to pay a total of six Preferred Share dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Preferred Shares the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. That right would continue until the Company pays all dividends in arrears. At this time, the Treasury has not elected a director to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors however will be sending an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings. The Company has accrued for interest and the dividends and has every intention to bring the obligation current as soon as permitted. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has accrued $3.1 million for dividends and interest on outstanding trust preferred securities and Preferred Shares. There are other ancillary expenses related to the legal and accounting fees which could be incurred without the ability of the Bank to dividend to the Company. The Company currently maintains cash balances sufficient to cover such ancillary expenses for several years based on historical expense amounts.
The Company’s Asset-Liability Management Committee utilizes a variety of liquidity monitoring tools, including an asset/liability modeling software, to analyze and manage the Company’s liquidity. Management has established internal guidelines and analytical tools to measure liquid assets, alternative sources of liquidity, as well as relevant ratios concerning asset levels and purchased funds. These indicators are reported to the Bank’s Board of Directors monthly.
Capital.At September 30, 2010, our total stockholders’ equity was $58.8 million and our equity to asset ratio was 7.78%. At September 30, 2010, our Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.61% compared to 11.26% at December 31, 2009, while our total risk-based capital ratio was 12.89% compared to 12.54% at December 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had capital in excess of the requirements for an “adequately-capitalized” bank holding company. At September 30, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.02% compared to 11.39% at December 31, 2009, while our total risk-based capital ratio was 13.29% compared to 12.67% at December 31, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the Bank had capital in excess of the requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Our funds management policy is established by our Bank Board of Directors and monitored by our Asset/Liability Management Committee. Our funds management policy sets standards within which we are expected to operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core deposits. Our funds management policy also establishes the reporting requirements to our Bank Board of Directors. Our investment policy complements our funds management policy by establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment, quality standards, and diversification. Our liquidity contingency funding plan is established by our Bank Board of Directors and monitored by our Asset/Liability Management Committee. Our liquidity contingency funding plan sets guidelines for the Company to monitor and control its liquidity position as well as ensure appropriate contingency liquidity plans are actively in place and consistent with the current and forecasted needs of the Company.
We use asset/liability modeling software to analyze the Company’s current sensitivity to instantaneous and permanent changes in interest rates. The system simulates the Company’s asset and liability base and projects future net interest income results under several interest rate assumptions. This allows management to view how changes in interest rates will affect the spread between the yield received on assets and the cost of deposits and borrowed funds.
The asset/liability modeling software is also used to analyze the net economic value of equity at risk under instantaneous shifts in interest rates. The “net economic value of equity at risk” is defined as the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities plus/minus the market value of any off-balance sheet positions. By effectively looking at the present value of all future cash flows on or off the balance sheet, the net economic value of equity modeling takes a longer-term view of interest rate risk.
We strive to maintain a position such that current changes in interest rates will not affect net interest income or the economic value of equity by more than 5%, per 50 basis points. The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in the Bank of Blue Valley’s net interest income over the next twelve month period and net economic value of equity at risk at September 30, 2010 based on the indicated instantaneous and permanent changes in interest rates.
Net Interest | Net Economic | |||||||
Income | Value of | |||||||
Changes in Interest Rates | (next 12 months) | Equity at Risk | ||||||
200 basis point rise | 9.05 | % | (4.78 | )% | ||||
Base Rate Scenario | — | — | ||||||
200 basis point decline | 4.52 | % | 2.02 | % |
The above table indicates that, at September 30, 2010, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase or decrease in prevailing market rates, our net interest income would be expected to increase. This is a result of an increase in our interest-bearing demand deposit balances, specifically our performance checking accounts. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposit balances provides the Company with greater control over the cost of its funding base and enables

the Company to expand its net interest margin in an increasing or decreasing rate environment. The Bank has placed floors on its loans over the last several years which would limit the decline in yield earned on the loan portfolio in a declining rate environment while the cost of funding would decrease resulting in a greater net interest margin. Another consideration in a rising interest rate scenario is the impact of mortgage financing, which would likely decline, leading to lower loans held for sale fee income, though the impact is difficult to quantify or project. In the decreasing rate scenarios, the adjustable rate assets (loans) reprice to lower rates faster than our liabilities, but our liabilities — long-term FHLB advances and existing time deposits — would not decrease in rate as much as market rates. In addition, fixed rate loans might experience an increase in prepayments, further decreasing yields on earning assets and causing net income to decrease. |
The above table also indicates that, at September 30, 2010, in the event of a sudden increase in prevailing market rates, the economic value of our equity would decrease. Given our current asset/liability position, a 200 basis point increase in interest rates will result in a lower economic value of our equity as the change in estimated gain on liabilities exceeds the change in estimated loss on assets in this interest rate scenario. Currently, under an increasing rate environment, the Company’s estimated market value of loans could decrease slightly due to fixed rate loans and investments with rates lower than market rates. These assets have a likelihood to remain until maturity in this rate environment. However, the estimated market value decrease in fixed rate loans and investment securities would be offset by time deposits unable to reprice to higher rates immediately and fixed-rate callable advances from FHLBank. The likelihood of advances being called in a rising rate environment increases resulting in advances being repriced prior to maturity. Given our current asset/liability position, a 200 basis point decline in interest rates will result in an increase in the economic value of our equity as the change in estimated gain on assets exceeds the change in estimated loss on liabilities in this interest rate scenario. Currently, under a falling rate environment, the Company’s estimated market value of loans could increase as a result of fixed rate loans, net of possible prepayments. However, the estimated market value increase in fixed rate loans is offset by time deposits unable to reprice to lower rates immediately and fixed-rate callable advances from FHLBank. The likelihood of advances being called in a decreasing rate environment is diminished resulting in the advances existing until final maturity, which has the effect of lowering the economic value of equity. |

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying Officers”) have conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Certifying Officers have reviewed the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In compliance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (18 U.S.C. 1350), each of the Certifying Officers executed an Officer’s Certification included in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q. |
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. |
