Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity, cash flows, and comprehensive income in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. Those adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”), its wholly owned financial institution subsidiaries, the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), and its management consulting subsidiaries, Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 3: RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.
NOTE 4: INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The following table presents securities with gross unrealized losses and fair value by length of time that the individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2007. Securities whose market values exceed cost are excluded from this table.

Southwest evaluates securities on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
8
the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of Southwest to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Because the declines in fair value noted in the table above were attributable to increases in interest rates and not attributable to credit quality, and because Southwest has the ability and intent to hold all of these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, the impairment of these investments is not deemed to be other-than-temporary.
During the first quarter 2007 Southwest recognized a $448,000 charge to income, recorded in loss on securities in the statement of operations, upon determining that declines in the value of equity securities of one issuer were other than temporary.
NOTE 5: LOANS RECEIVABLE
Southwest extends commercial and consumer credit primarily to customers in the states of Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. Its commercial lending operations are concentrated in the Oklahoma City, Stillwater, and Tulsa areas of Oklahoma; in the Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas of Texas; and in the Kansas City and Wichita areas of Kansas. As a result, the collectibility of Southwest’s loan portfolio can be affected by changes in the economic conditions in these three states and in those metropolitan areas. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, substantially all of Southwest’s loans were collateralized with real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other assets, or were guaranteed by agencies of the United States government or, in the case of private student loans, insured by a private insurer.
At March 31, 2007, loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare industry totaled approximately $518.1 million, or 29%, of total loans, and student loans totaled approximately $101.9 million, or 6%, of total loans. Southwest does not have any other concentrations of loans to individuals or businesses involved in a single industry totaling 5% or more of total loans.
Nonperforming assets and other risk elements of the loan portfolio are shown below as of the indicated dates. Total nonaccrual loans increased $243,000, or 1%, from December 31, 2006, and total nonperforming loans increased $83,000, or less than 1%. Total nonperforming assets of $31.3 million (which includes other real estate owned) increased $79,000, or less than 1%, from year-end 2006.

| | |
(1) | | The government-guaranteed portion of loans included in these totals was $1.4 million (2007) and $1.5 million (2006). |
The principal balance of loans for which accrual of interest has been discontinued totaled approximately $27.0 million at March 31, 2007. All of the nonaccruing assets are subject to regular tests for impairment as part of Southwest’s allowance for loan losses methodology (see Note 6).
During the first three months of 2007, no interest income was received on nonaccruing loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2007, additional total interest income of $497,000 would have been recorded.

Performing loans considered potential problem loans (loans that are not included in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems cause management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may become problems in the future) amounted to approximately $52.3 million at March 31, 2007, compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of 3%. Loans may be monitored by management and reported as potential problem loans for an extended period of time during which management continues to be uncertain as to the ability of certain borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. These loans are subject to continuing management attention and are considered by management in determining the level of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan amounts which are determined to be uncollectible are charged against this allowance, and recoveries, if any, are added to the allowance. The appropriate amount of the allowance is based on continuous review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio using a systematic methodology. Southwest’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes determination of a formula allowance, specific allowances and an unallocated allowance.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to corresponding categories of outstanding loans and leases. Loss factors generally are based on Southwest’s historical loss experience in the various portfolio categories over the prior eighteen months or twelve months, but may be adjusted for categories where eighteen and twelve month loss experience is historically unusual. The use of these loss factors is intended to reduce the differences between estimated losses inherent in the portfolio and observed losses. Formula allowances also are established for loans that do not have specific allowances according to the application of credit risk factors. These factors are set by management to reflect its assessment of the relative level of risk inherent in each credit grade.
Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to individual loans that management believes indicate the probability that losses may be
10
incurred in an amount different from the amounts determined by application of the formula allowance. Specific allowances include amounts related to loans that are identified for evaluation of impairment. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Southwest will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance for loan losses related to loans that are evaluated for impairment is based either on the discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Smaller balance, homogeneous loans, including mortgage, student, and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. All of Southwest’s nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired loans.
The unallocated allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of various factors that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. These factors may include general economic and business conditions affecting lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio categories, recent loss experience in particular loan categories, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results, findings of internal credit examiners, and management’s judgment with respect to various and other conditions including credit administration and management and the quality of risk identification systems. Management reviews these conditions quarterly.
There were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance during the first three months of 2007. Southwest determined the level of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 was appropriate, based on that methodology.
Management strives to carefully monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming. At any time, however, there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses to Southwest, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the unexpected deterioration of one or a few such loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming assets, and may lead to a material increase in charge-offs and the provision for loan losses in future periods.
At March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.9 million. The reserve, which is included in other liabilities on Southwest’s statement of financial condition, is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for loan losses, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment.
NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Fair Value Hedges
Southwest uses interest rate swaps in order to offset changes in fair value of fixed rate deposits that occur during periods of interest rate volatility. Southwest is able to demonstrate an effective hedging relationship between derivatives and matched items by proving that their changes in fair values substantially offset. Southwest enters into interest rate swap agreements with the objective of converting the fixed interest rate on retail brokered CDs to a variable interest rate. The swap agreements require Southwest to pay a variable rate of interest based on a spread to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and to receive a fixed rate of interest equal to that of the retail brokered CD (hedged item). Under the swap agreements, Southwest is to pay variable interest payments on a monthly basis; fixed interest payments are to be received on the maturity date of the swap agreement, except for agreements that pay semi-annually. Amounts to be paid or received under these swap agreements are accounted for on an accrual basis and recorded as an adjustment of interest expense of the hedged item. The net cash flows related to fair value hedges increased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. All of the interest rate swaps outstanding at March 31, 2007 will expire within a twelve month period.

Southwest is exposed to credit risk on derivative instruments if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the contract. Southwest manages credit risk through the use of comprehensive credit approval processes, the selection of only creditworthy counterparties, and effective collateral administration. The amount of credit exposure is limited to the net interest receivable and the fair market value of the derivative contracts in gain positions reduced by the value of any collateral pledged by the counterparty. As of March 31, 2007, the net credit exposure associated with derivative instruments totaled $5.6 million. The maximum net exposure to any one counterparty is $3.1 million. The notional amount of the swap position at March 31, 2007 is with two counterparties.
NOTE 8: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
The Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Plans”) provide selected key employees with the opportunity to acquire common stock. The exercise price of all options granted under the Stock Plans is the fair market value on the grant date. Depending upon terms of the stock option agreements, stock options generally become exercisable on an annual basis and expire from five to ten years after the date of grant.
Southwest recorded $333,000 of share-based compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as required by the provisions of Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123 (R),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS No. 123(R)”).
The share-based compensation is calculated using the accrual method, which treats each vesting tranche as a separate award and amortizes expense evenly from grant date to vest date for each tranche. This charge had no impact on Southwest’s reported cash flows. The deferred tax asset that was recorded related to this compensation expense was approximately $151,000.
12
For purposes of the disclosure in the foregoing table and for purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS No. 123(R), Southwest has computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and has applied the assumptions set forth in the following table. Southwest will continue to monitor the actual expected term of stock options and will adjust the expected term used in the valuation process when the difference is determined to be significant.

As of March 31, 2007, there was $615,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option arrangements granted under the Stock Plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
Restricted Stock
In March 2005, January 2006, and January 2007, nonemployee directors were awarded shares in restricted common shares (29,010 total shares) at grant date fair values of $19.75, $21.725, and $26.985, respectively. In March 2007, an employee was awarded 4,868 shares in restricted stock at grant date fair value of $26.395. During the first three months of 2007, $27,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded related to all restricted shares outstanding and is included in the compensation expense amounts for 2007; $17,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded in the first three months of 2006.
The restricted stock grants vest one-third on the first, second and third annual anniversaries of the date of grant provided the director/employee remains a director/employee of Southwest or a subsidiary on those dates. The restrictions on the shares expire three years after the award date. Southwest will continue to recognize compensation expense over the restricted periods.
NOTE 9: TAXES ON INCOME
FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,was adopted on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation No. 48, Southwest recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $802,000 as a decrease in retained earnings. Including the cumulative effect adjustment, at the beginning of 2007, Southwest had approximately $1.8 million (net of federal benefit on state issues) of total unrecognized tax benefits. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2007 was $2.0 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), that if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in any future periods.
Southwest recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. As of date of adoption, Southwest had accrued $562,000 in interest and penalties.
Southwest or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, Southwest is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2002.
Southwest is currently under audit by the State of Oklahoma for the 2002 tax year. It is likely that the examination phase of the audit will conclude in 2007, and it is possible a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur; however, quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.
NOTE 10: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential shares calculated using the treasury method. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, there were 128,431 and 17,500 antidilutive options to purchase common shares, respectively.

NOTE 11: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Southwest operates four principal segments: Oklahoma Banking, Other States Banking, Secondary Market, and Other Operations. The Oklahoma Banking segment consists of three operating units that provide lending and deposit services to customers in the state of Oklahoma. The Other States Banking segment consists of four operating units that provide lending and deposit services to the customers in the states of Texas and Kansas. The Secondary Market segment consists of two operating units: one that provides student lending services to post-secondary students in Oklahoma and several other states and the other that provides residential mortgage lending services to customers in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. Other Operations includes Southwest’s fund management unit.
The primary purpose of the fund management unit is to manage Southwest’s overall liquidity needs and interest rate risk. Each segment borrows funds from and provides funds to the fund management unit as needed to support its operations. The value of funds provided and cost of funds borrowed from the funds management unit by each segment are internally priced at rates that approximate market rates for funds with similar duration.
The Other Operations segment also includes SNB Investor Services and nonbank cash machine operations; these operations are discussed more fully in the 2006 Annual Report.
Southwest identifies reportable segments by type of service provided and geographic location. Operating results are adjusted for intercompany loan participations and borrowings, allocated service costs, and management fees.
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Southwest. Expenses for consolidated back-office operations are allocated to operating segments based on estimated uses of those services. General overhead expenses such as executive administration, accounting, and internal audit are allocated based on the direct expense and/or deposit and loan volumes of the operating segment. Income tax expense for the operating segments is calculated essentially at statutory rates. The Other Operations segment records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, capital is assigned and the credit allocated to each of the segments rather than remaining in the Other Operating Segment. The amounts for first quarter 2006 have been restated using the capital pricing methodology as well. The credit for capital is allocated based on the capital assignment methodology applied to each segment. This methodology assigns capital to each segment based on the mix of deposits, loans, securities, other assets or revenue and conceptually follows the Risk Based Capital Guidelines on assets. A ratio is calculated based on Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk and Liquidity Risk. This risk based ratio is also applied to the average balances of deposits, loans, securities, other assets or revenue in each segment in order to calculate an assigned capital amount. The credit for capital is then allocated to each segment based on the pro rata share of assigned capital.
By including capital as a funding component, each operating segment’s performance is more accurately reported leaving fewer unallocated dollars in the fund management unit.

NOTE 12. ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. Management continues to evaluate the impact and anticipates the adoption of the statement effective January 1, 2008.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Management continues to evaluate the impact and anticipates the adoption of the statement effective January 1, 2008.
NOTE 13. PENDING ACQUISITION
On February 2, 2007, Southwest signed an agreement to purchase the Bank of Kansas for a cash price of $15.25 million. Bank of Kansas has total assets of approximately $75 million, loans of approximately $40 million, deposits of approximately $65 million, and two banking offices in the Hutchinson, Kansas market. The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, is not expected to have a material effect on Southwest’s earnings or operations for 2007.

NOTE 14. CASH RECEIVABLE
Southwest previously disclosed that in December 2006 an armored transportation company failed to deliver to Stillwater National approximately $1.3 million in cash then due to it from certain ATMs owned by Cash Source, Inc. (“CSI”), a subsidiary of Stillwater National. CSI discovered other cash shortages arising from the same armored transportation company and Stillwater National removed all cash from the other CSI ATMs for which that company provided cash transportation. Earlier this year, Southwest determined that the maximum total potential cash shortage was $2.5 million, but at that time was unable to estimate the actual loss.
Stillwater National and CSI have filed legal action against the armored transportation company, its owners and others for the recovery of their funds and damages, have notified law enforcement and bank regulatory authorities and their insurers, and continue to investigate the possible locations of the missing cash and other means of recovery, including the extent of insurance coverage. Southwest’s investigations include, among other things, a continuing analysis of the armored transportation company and its affiliate’s records that were first obtained in the last week of March 2007. As a result of that analysis and other factors, including the inability to date of Southwest to locate any significant amount of the missing cash, Southwest estimated the amount of the loss to be the total amount of the receivable. Accordingly, Southwest has recorded a complete write-off of that amount as reflected in the financial statements for the first quarter of 2007. This amount does not reflect any potential recoveries or insurance proceeds. The financial statements also reflect related legal expenses incurred by Southwest in the first quarter of approximately $300,000. Southwest continues to vigorously pursue its investigation and efforts to recover the missing cash or otherwise mitigate its damages. Southwest is in the process of preparing its claims for insurance, which it intends to file in the second or early third quarter of 2007.
NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 8, 2007, Stillwater National received the proceeds from the sale of 1,500,000 shares of common stock of a public corporation included in available for sale securities. This transaction was in response to an unsolicited offer to purchase such shares received in late April 2007. Stillwater National obtained these shares in connection with the restructuring of problem credits in October 2005. The sale of these shares resulted in a realization of a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.92 million which will be recorded in the second quarter of 2007. Stillwater National continues to hold 868,000 shares of the public corporation’s common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the notes to Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of Southwest’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; expectations regarding future financial performance of Southwest and its operating segments; assessments of loan quality, probable loan losses, and the amount and timing of loan payoffs; liquidity, contractual obligations, off-balance sheet risk, and market or interest rate risk; and statements of Southwest’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behavior, and other economic conditions; future laws, regulations, and accounting principles; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, Southwest’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.
You should read this management’s discussion and analysis of Southwest’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
GENERAL
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”) is a financial holding company for the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). Through its subsidiaries, Southwest offers commercial and consumer lending, deposit and investment services, and specialized cash management, consulting and other financial services from offices in Oklahoma City, Stillwater, Tulsa, and Chickasha, Oklahoma; Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; and Kansas City and Wichita, Kansas; and on the Internet, throughSNB DirectBanker®. Southwest’s banking philosophy is to provide a high level of customer service, a wide range of financial services, and products responsive to customer needs with a focus on serving healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate borrowers. This philosophy has led to the development of a line of deposit, lending, and other financial products that respond to professional and commercial customer needs for speed, efficiency, and information, and complement more traditional banking products. Such specialized financial services include integrated document imaging and cash management services designed to help our customers in the healthcare industry and other record-intensive enterprises operate more efficiently, and management consulting services through Southwest’s management consulting subsidiaries: HSSI, which serves physicians, hospitals, and healthcare groups, and BCG, which serves small and large commercial enterprises. Information regarding Southwest is available on line at www.oksb.com. Information regarding the products and services of Southwest’s subsidiaries is available on line at www.banksnb.com and www.snbwichita.com. The information on these websites is not a part of this report on form 10-Q.
Southwest’s strategic focus includes expansion in carefully selected geographic markets based upon a tested business model developed in connection with its expansion into Oklahoma City in 1982 and into Tulsa in 1985. This geographic expansion is based on identification of markets with concentrations of customers in Southwest’s traditional areas of expertise (healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate lending) and makes use of traditional and specialized financial services.
Southwest’s expansion into the states of Kansas and Texas began in 2002. At March 31, 2007, these offices accounted for $776.7 million in loans (47% of portfolio loans and 44% of total loans, which include loans held for sale). During the first three months of 2007, these offices produced $2.1 million in net income (46% of the consolidated total), and $241.4 million in asset growth from March 31, 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, Southwest opened a loan production office in Houston, Texas which it plans to convert into a branch consistent
18
with its established expansion strategy. In July 2006, Southwest completed the acquisition of the McMullen Bank, which adds two branches, one each in San Antonio and Tilden, Texas.
The Oklahoma Banking segment accounted for $4.3 million, or 95%, of consolidated year-to-date net income, up 36 percentage points from 59% for the first three months of 2006. The increase in the segment’s net income contribution was primarily the result of a decrease in the required provision for loan losses and an increase in the net interest income. Outstanding loans in the Oklahoma Banking Segment totaled $890.5 million at quarter end and decreased by $22.4 million, or approximately 2%, from December 31, 2006.
Southwest has a long history of student and residential mortgage lending. These operations comprise the Secondary Market business segment. During the first three months of 2007, this segment produced $753,000 in net income. Assets declined during the first three months of the year because, while originations of student loans totaled $56.6 million during the first quarter, sales proceeds totaled $136.1 million resulting in a 44% reduction in the balance of loans outstanding at quarter-end. The gain on sales of student loans in the first quarter was $956,000. Loan volumes in the Secondary Market segment may vary significantly from period to period.
Southwest also conducts general consumer banking operations, and may establish or acquire additional community banking offices in selected markets.
For additional information on Southwest’s operating segments, please see Note 10, Operating Segments, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The total of net income of the segments discussed above does not equal consolidated net income for the first three months of 2007 due to income and expenses allocated to the Other Operations segment, which provides funding and liquidity services to the rest of the organization
Southwest was organized in 1981 as the holding company for Stillwater National, which was chartered in 1894. Southwest has established and pursued a strategy of independent operation for the benefit of all of its shareholders. Southwest became a public company in late 1993 with assets of approximately $434 million. At March 31, 2007, Southwest had total assets of $2.2 billion, deposits of $1.8 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $201.8 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total Assets and Investment Securities
Southwest’s total assets were $2.2 billion at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Southwest’s investment security portfolio increased $4.3 million, or 2%, from $269.8 million at December 31, 2006, to $274.1 million at March 31, 2007. The increase occurred primarily in tax exempt securities, which increased $2.7 million, or 95%, during the first three months of 2007.
Loans
Total loans, including loans held for sale, were $1.8 billion at March 31, 2007, a less than 1% decrease from December 31, 2006. Southwest experienced increases in real estate construction, commercial, and other consumer loans, and decreases in commercial real estate mortgage, one-to-four family residential, and student loans.

Management determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses using a systematic methodology. (See Note 6, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.) At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $27.7 million, an increase of $435,000, or 2%, from the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006. This change is a result of growth in performing commercial and commercial real estate loans and an increase in the historical loss rate on performing secured commercial loans, offset in part by a decrease in the allowances on impaired loans and reductions in the allowance related to potential problem loans. At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was 1.56% of total loans, compared to 1.52% at year-end 2006. The unallocated allowance at March 31, 2007 was $2.3 million, or 8%, of the total allowance. Management believes the amount of the allowance is appropriate, given its systematic methodology of calculation. Changes in the amount of the allowance resulted from the application of that methodology, which is designed to estimate inherent losses on total loans in the portfolio, including those on nonperforming loans.
At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $27.7 million, or 94.18% of nonperforming loans, compared to $27.3 million, or 92.97% of nonperforming loans, at December 31, 2006. (See “Results of Operations-Provision for Loan Losses.”)
At March 31, 2007, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.9 million, a $65,000, or 3%, decrease from the amount at December 31, 2006. This change is due to a decrease in the reserve on commitments related to potential problem loans, partially offset by an increase in the reserve on other loan commitments based on growth.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
Southwest’s deposits were $1.80 billion at March 31, 2007, an increase of $37.6 million, or 2%, from $1.77 billion at December 31, 2006. Increases occurred in interest-bearing demand, money market accounts, and other time deposits.

Stillwater National has unsecured brokered certificate of deposit lines of credit in connection with its retail certificate of deposit program from Merrill Lynch & Co., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Wachovia Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services, Inc., RBC Dain Rauscher, Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., and CountryWide Securities that total $1.6 billion. At March 31, 2007, $355.2 million in these retail certificates of deposit were included in time deposits of $100,000 or more, a decrease of $9.6 million, or 3%, from year-end 2006.
Other borrowings decreased $14.9 million, or 11%, to $123.2 million during the first three months of 2007 as the company relied on more traditional sources of funds.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased $4.3 million, or 2%, due primarily to earnings of $4.5 million for the first three months of 2007, offset by dividends declared totaling $1.3 million. Sales of common stock through the dividend reinvestment plan, the employee stock purchase plan, and share based compensation plans contributed an additional $978,000 to shareholders’ equity in the first three months of 2007, including tax benefits realized by Southwest relating to option exercises. Implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,reduced shareholders’ equity by $802,000. Net unrealized holding losses on available for sale investment securities (net of tax) decreased to a loss of $826,000 at March 31, 2007, compared to a loss of $1.7 million at December 31, 2006.
At March 31, 2007, Southwest, Stillwater National and SNB Wichita continued to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See “Capital Resources” on page 29.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 and 2006
Net income for the first quarter of 2007 of $4.5 million represented a decrease of $1.8 million, or 28%, from the $6.3 million earned in the first quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $0.31 compared to $0.44, a 30% decrease. The decrease in quarterly net income was the result of a $3.6 million (28%) increase in other expense and a $628,000 (16%) decrease in other income, offset in part by a $472,000 (2%) increase in net interest income, an $815,000 (30%) decrease in provision for loan losses, and a $1.2 million (30%) decrease in income taxes. Net income for the quarter included the effects of the $2.5 million write-off of the receivable for cash described in Note 14, approximately $300,000 in related legal expenses incurred in its ongoing investigation and collection efforts, and a $450,000 investment impairment charge reflected in securities losses.
(See Note 13. Cash Receivable.)
21
The $472,000 increase in net interest income for the quarter was primarily the result of increased loan yields and a $40.7 million increase in average loan volume, offset in part by higher rates on interest bearing deposits and liabilities. Although the provision for loan losses decreased, the allowance for loan losses increased to 1.56% of total loans at quarter end, up from 1.52% at year end and 1.39% at March 31, 2006. The decrease in other income was mainly the result of a $570,000 decrease in service charges mainly due to the decrease in the number of ATMs owned by CSI, a $185,000 increase in net securities losses, mostly due to the $450,000 investment impairment charge, and a $207,000 decline in other noninterest income, offset in part by a $303,000 increase in gains on sales of loans. The decline in ATM charges related to reduced operations of CSI. Although CSI’s ATM fees decreased in the first quarter, CSI did not produce a significant contribution to net income in the first quarter 2006 or the year ended December 31, 2006, and the reduction in its owned ATMs will not have a significant effect on future net income. In addition during the first quarter 2007 Southwest recorded a securities loss of $448,000 due to the other than temporary impairment of certain equity securities of one issuer.
On an operating segment basis, the decrease in net income was led by a $941,000 reduction from the Secondary Market segment and a $1.7 million decrease from the Other Operations segment partially offset by a $599,000 increase from the Oklahoma Banking segment, a $311,000 increase from the Other States Banking segment. The contribution from the Secondary Market segment may vary significantly from period to period.

Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Southwest earns on its loans, investments, and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Because different types of assets and liabilities owned by Southwest may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates, net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a period, an increase of market rates of interest could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets
22
mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income.
Yields on Southwest’s interest-earning assets increased 54 basis points, and the rates paid on Southwest’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 79 basis points, resulting in a decrease in the interest rate spread to 3.49% for the first quarter of 2007 from 3.74% for the first quarter of 2006. During the same periods, annualized net interest margin remained constant at 4.34% and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 121.84% from 117.87%.
The increase in interest income was the result of the 54 basis point increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the $44.0 million, or 2%, increase in average interest-earning assets. Southwest’s average loans increased $40.7 million, or 2%, and the related yield increased to 8.85% for the first quarter of 2007 from 8.24% in 2006. During the same period, average investment securities increased $51,000, or less than 1%, and the related yield increased to 3.99% from 3.98% in 2006.
The increase in total interest expense can be attributed to the 79 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and offset in part by the $21.4 million, or 1%, decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest expense on subordinated debentures is due to rate increases on the two variable rate issuances of subordinated debentures. Rates paid on deposits increased 84 basis points, while average interest-bearing deposits increased $71.2 million, or 5%.

UNAUDITED RATE VOLUME TABLE
The following table analyzes changes in interest income and interest expense of Southwest for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate); and (ii) changes in rates (changes in rate multiplied by the prior period’s volume). Changes in rate-volume (changes in rate multiplied by the changes in volume) are allocated between changes in rate and changes in volume in proportion to the relative contribution of each.

Provisions for Loan Losses and for Unfunded Loan Commitments
Southwest makes provisions for loan losses in amounts necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments at the levels Southwest determines are appropriate based on a systematic methodology. (See Note 6, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The allowance for loan losses of $27.7 million increased $435,000, or 2%, from year-end 2006. A provision for loan losses of $1.9 million was recorded in the first three months of 2007, a decrease of $815,000, or 30%, from the first three months of 2006. (See Note 6, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
25
At March 31, 2007, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.9 million, a $65,000, or 3%, decrease from the amount reported at December 31, 2006. This reserve is included in other liabilities. The related provision for unfunded loan commitments is a component of general and administrative expense. (See Note 6, “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)

ATM service charges decreased $570,000 mainly due to the decrease in the number of ATMs owned and the decline in other noninterest income was the result of a decrease in consulting income.
Gains on sales of loans is a reflection of the activity in the student, mortgage and commercial lending areas discussed elsewhere in this report.
During the first quarter 2007 Southwest recorded a securities loss of $448,000 due to the other than temporary impairment of certain equity securities of one issuer.
Southwest’s multi-state ATM network operated 39 ATM machines in 3 states at March 31, 2007, compared to 297 ATM machines in 30 states at March 31, 2006. The decrease was a result of a reduction in ATMs owned by CSI described above.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $885,000 primarily as a result of normal compensation increases, incentive based accruals, an increase in the number of employees, and recruitment expenses in connection with the market expansion. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 390 at the end of the first quarter of 2006 to 443 at the end of the first quarter of 2007.
The occupancy expense decreased due to a decrease in data processing of $208,000 and decreased amortization of maintenance contracts of $52,000 offset in part by increases in depreciation of $18,000, building rental expense of $48,000 and utilities and other services of $31,000.
The increase in general and administrative expense was mainly the result of the previously described cash receivable write-off of $2.5 million and related legal expense of $300,000.

Taxes on Income
Southwest’s income tax expense was $2.9 million and $4.1 million for the first three months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 30%.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is measured by a financial institution’s ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of highly marketable assets such as student loans, residential mortgage loans, and SBA loans, and available for sale investments. Additional sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of loans and the sale of participations in outstanding loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved through growth of deposits and liquid assets and accessibility to the capital and money markets. These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans, and operate the organization.
Southwest, Stillwater National, and SNB Wichita have available various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management and liquidity purposes. These forms of borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Student Loan Marketing Association (“Sallie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLB”), and Frost Bank (“Frost”). Stillwater National also carries interest-bearing demand notes issued by the U.S. Treasury in connection with the Treasury Tax and Loan note program; the outstanding balance of those notes was $14,000 at March 31, 2007. Stillwater National has approved federal funds purchase lines totaling $345.0 million with twelve banks; $13.8 million was outstanding on these lines at March 31, 2007. In addition, Stillwater National has available a $200.0 million line of credit from Sallie Mae and a $391.2 million line of credit from the FHLB; SNB Wichita also has a $12.4 million line of credit from the FHLB. Borrowings under the Sallie Mae line would be secured by student loans. Borrowings under the FHLB lines are secured by investment securities and loans. The Sallie Mae line expired April 30, 2007; no amount was outstanding on this line at March 31, 2007. The Stillwater National FHLB line of credit had an outstanding balance of $76.5 million at March 31, 2007; the SNB Wichita line of credit had no amount outstanding at March 31, 2007.
See also “Deposits and Other Borrowings” on page.
Stillwater National sells securities under agreements to repurchase with Stillwater National retaining custody of the collateral. Collateral consists of U.S. government agency obligations, which are designated as pledged with Stillwater National’s safekeeping agent. These transactions are for one to four day periods.
During the first three months of 2007, the only categories of other borrowings whose averages exceeded 30% of ending shareholders’ equity were repurchase agreements and funds borrowed from the FHLB.

Compared to the first three months of 2006, cash and cash equivalents increased by $46.9 million, or 90%, to $99.2 million. This increase was the net result of cash provided from financing activities of $21.0 million, (primarily from an increase in deposits, partially offset by a decline in borrowings) and cash provided from
28
operating activities of $91.8 million, offset in part by cash used in net loan origination and other investing activities of $71.2 million.
During the first three months of 2006, cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.1 million, or 4%, to $52.3 million. This increase was the net result of cash provided from financing activities of $40.9 million, (primarily from an increase in deposits) and cash provided from operating activities of $8.0 million, offset in part by cash used in net loan origination and other investing activities of $46.8 million.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. At March 31, 2007, Southwest exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.68%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.44%, and a leverage ratio of 11.12%. As of March 31, 2007, Stillwater National and SNB Wichita also met the criteria for classification as “well-capitalized” institutions under the prompt corrective action rules promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Designation as a well-capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of Southwest, Stillwater National or SNB Wichita by Federal bank or thrift regulators.
Southwest declared a dividend of $.0925 per common share payable on April 2, 2007 to shareholders of record as of March 18, 2007.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related unaudited consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering fluctuations in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Southwest’s net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Southwest seeks to maximize its net interest margin within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the amount of forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity.
Southwest attempts to manage interest rate risk while enhancing net interest margin by adjusting its asset/liability position. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and other interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, Southwest may determine to increase its interest rate risk position in order to increase its net interest margin. Southwest monitors interest rate risk and adjusts the composition of its rate-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates on net interest income over time. Southwest’s asset/liability committee reviews its interest rate risk position and profitability, and recommends adjustments. The asset/liability committee also reviews the securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions. Notwithstanding Southwest’s interest rate risk management activities, the actual magnitude, direction, and relationship of future interest rates are uncertain, and can have adverse effects on net income and liquidity.
A principal objective of Southwest’s asset/liability management effort is to balance the various factors that generate interest rate risk, thereby maintaining the interest rate sensitivity of Southwest within acceptable risk levels. To measure its interest rate sensitivity position, Southwest utilizes a simulation model that facilitates the forecasting of net interest income over the next twelve month period under a variety of interest rate and growth scenarios.
The earnings simulation model uses numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows, and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate the effect of rate changes on net interest income or the economic value of equity. Actual results differ from simulated results due to timing, cash flows, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.
The balance sheet is subject to quarterly testing for six alternative interest rate shock possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk. Average interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, and 300 basis points (“bp”), although Southwest may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment. It is management’s goal to structure the balance sheet so that net interest earnings at risk over a twelve-month period and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, usually one year. They do not necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income at Risk position improved in all decreasing interest rate scenarios when compared to the December 31, 2006 risk position. In a rising interest rate environment, Southwest’s net interest income improves in all interest rate scenarios. When the rising interest rate scenarios are compared to December 31, 2006, the percentage of increase in net interest income improved in the +200 bp and +300 bp scenarios while declining modestly in the +100 bp scenario. All of the above measures of net interest income at risk remain well within prescribed policy limits. Although assumed unlikely by Southwest’s asset/liability committee, Southwest’s largest exposure to changes in interest rate is in the (300 bp) scenario with a measure of (10.45%) at March 31, 2007, an improvement of 69 percentage points from December 31, 2006 level of (11.14%). The reduction in net interest income at risk is a result of Southwest’s asset/liability committee’s desire to reduce the exposure to changes in interest rate given the increased uncertainty in the direction and level of interest rates.
The measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of Southwest by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of Southwest’s cash flows, and discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between these discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which, in theory, approximates the fair value of Southwest’s net assets.
Changes from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007 are primarily due to the impact of interest rate hedges first introduced in February of 2006.

During the first quarter the economic value of equity measure improved in all increasing interest rate scenarios when compared to the December 31, 2006 percentages. In a decreasing interest rate environment the percentage improvement in the economic value of equity decreased in the (100 bp) and (200 bp) scenarios while increasing in the (300 bp) scenario. Southwest’s largest exposure to change in economic value of equity is the +300 bp scenario which improved 23 percentage points to (7.45%) on March 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006 value of (7.68%). The economic value of equity ratio in all scenarios remains well within Southwest’s Asset and Liability Management Policy limits.
Changes from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007 are primarily due to the increased usage of interest rate hedges which were first introduced in February of 2006.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC rules, Southwest’s management evaluated the effectiveness of Southwest’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Southwest’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Southwest’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Southwest’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007.
First Three Months 2007 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change occurred during the first three months of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Southwest’s internal control over financial reporting.
32
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
None of the financial measures used in this report are defined as non-GAAP financial measures under federal securities regulations. Other banking organizations, however, may present such non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from measures based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For example, such non-GAAP measures may exclude certain income or expense items in calculating operating income or efficiency ratios, or may increase yields and margins to reflect the benefits of tax-exempt interest-earning assets. Readers of this report should be aware that non-GAAP ratios and other measures presented by some banking organizations or financial analysts may not be directly comparable to similarly named ratios or other measures used by Southwest or other banking organizations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In our annual report on Form 10-K we stated that we may be unable to recover $2.5 million in cash that an armored transportation company failed to deliver, and that failure to recover this cash could result in a loss to us that was not reflected in our 2006 financial statements. Due to our investigation, we have become able to estimate the loss with respect to this receivable as the total of $2.5 million, and have recorded that loss in our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. We have not recorded an estimate of potential recoveries or insurance proceeds, however. Our investigation is continuing. We cannot yet reasonably estimate the amount of any such recoveries or proceeds that may ultimately result from our efforts.
There were no other material changes in risk factors during the first three months of 2007 from those disclosed in Southwest’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities by Southwest during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
