ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Audit Committee,
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Blue Valley Ban Corp
Overland Park, Kansas 66225
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Blue Valley Ban
Corp as of June 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the
consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. 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
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 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 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, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein), and in our report dated February 13, 2004 we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2004, and the
consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and are of a
normal recurring nature.
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 consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2003 Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain reclassifications to prior
year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation.
The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan and no
compensation cost has been recognized. Pro forma compensation costs for
the Company's plan are determined based on the fair value at the option
grant dates using the minimum value method under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation."
During the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued no stock
options; consequently, reported and pro forma net income were identical.
During the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company applied the provisions
of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 46 (Revised),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to its trust preferred
securities. The primary impact of this change was to report the Company's
subordinated debt to the trust on the face of the accompanying balance
sheet rather than the minority interest in the trust, as previously
presented. This change has been made for all periods presented. This
change did not have a material impact on the Company's total assets,
liabilities, stockholders' equity or results of operations.
The report of BKD, LLP commenting upon their review accompanies the
consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I.
NOTE 2: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share is
computed using the weighted average common shares and all potential
dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of per share earnings for the three and six-months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 4: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As a strategy to reduce the exposure to the risk of changes in future cash
flows due to interest rate fluctuations, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement for a portion of its floating rate debt (see
Note 3). The agreement provides for the Company to receive interest from
the counterparty at the note's variable rate and to pay interest to the
counterparty at a fixed rate of 5.45% on the notional amount over the term
of the note. Under the agreement, the Company pays or receives the net
interest amount quarterly, with the quarterly settlements included in
interest expense.
Management has designated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow
hedging instrument. The hedge was fully effective through June 30, 2004.
Under the cash flow hedging method, the effective portion of the gain or
loss related to the derivative is recognized as a component of other
comprehensive income. The ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in
current earnings.

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, income taxes, and
stock-based compensation are deemed critical accounting policies
because of the valuation techniques used, and the sensitivity of
these financial statement amounts to the methods, as well as the
assumptions and estimates underlying these balances. Accounting for
these critical areas requires the most subjective and complex
judgments that could be subject to revision as new information
becomes available. There have not been any material changes in our
critical accounting policies since December 31, 2003. Further
description of our critical accounting policies can be found in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004, was $681,000, compared to net income of
$1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, representing a
decrease of $946,000, or 58.15%. Diluted earnings per share
decreased 59.16% to $0.29 during the second quarter of 2004 from
$0.71 in the same period of 2003. The Company's annualized return on
average assets and average stockholders' equity for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2004 were 0.43% and 6.64%, compared to 1.07%
and 17.59%, respectively, for the same period in 2003, decreases of
59.82% and 62.26%, respectively.
The principal contributing factors to our decrease in net income in
the current year second quarter from the prior year were a decrease
in net interest income resulting from lower yields on earnings

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
assets and a decrease in non-interest income resulting from a
decline in loans held for sale fee income. The strong demand for
residential mortgage loan originations, particularly refinancing,
experienced by the Company since 2001 decelerated as mortgage
interest rates rose during the second half of 2003. The effects of
lower mortgage origination volume continued into the second quarter
of 2004 and had an adverse impact on our net income.
Six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Net income for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.4 million, compared to net income
of $3.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003,
representing a decrease of $2.0 million, or 59.13%. Diluted earnings
per share decreased 60.14% to $0.59 during the six months ended June
30, 2004 from $1.48 in the same period of 2003. The Company's
annualized return on average assets and average stockholders' equity
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 were 0.45% and 6.85%,
compared to 1.15% and 18.86%, respectively, for the same period in
2003, decreases of 60.87% and 63.68%, respectively.
The principal contributing factors to our decrease in net income
from the six months ended June 30, 2003 to the current year were a
decrease in non-interest income, specifically loans held for sale
fee income, and a decrease in net interest income resulting from a
change in the mix of earning assets.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2004 was $4.1 million, a decrease of $368,000
or 8.24%, from $4.5 million for the three-month period ended June
30, 2003.
FTE interest income for the current year second quarter was $7.5
million, a decrease of $384,000, or 4.87%, from $7.9 million in the
prior year second quarter. This decrease was primarily a result of
an overall decrease in yields on earning assets. Yields on average
earning assets declined from the second quarter of 2003 to the
current period by 41 basis points to 5.14% in the second quarter of
2003, compared to 5.55% in the prior year second quarter. The 41
basis point decrease in yield resulted primarily from a change in
the mix of earning assets coupled with decreases in market interest
rates during 2003 and the impact of the low interest rates on new
and repriced assets during 2003 and 2004. Partially offsetting the
decrease in yield on average earning assets was a $16.3 million, or
2.85%, increase in average earning assets.
Interest expense for the current year second quarter was $3.4
million, unchanged from $3.4 million in the prior year second
quarter. The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities
declined 13 basis points to 2.67% during the quarter ended June 30,
2004 compared to 2.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The
primary cause for this decline was the overall decline in market
interest rates and the impact of the low interest rates on new and
repriced liabilities during 2003 and 2004. The effect of this
decline was offset by an increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities. For the current year second quarter, average
interest-bearing deposits increased by $27.5 million, or 7.40% from
the prior year while other interest-bearing liabilities, comprised
of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, decreased by $6.5
million or 5.40% from the prior year.
FTE net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004
was $8.3 million, a decrease of $712,000 or 7.89%, from $9.0 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003.
14
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FTE interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $15.1
million, a decrease of $490,000, or 3.14%, from $15.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease primarily resulted
from a change in the mix of earning assets as well as lower yields
on average earning assets. The yield on average earning assets
declined 40 basis points to 5.25% for the first six months of 2004,
compared to 5.65% for the first six months of 2003. The 40 basis
point decrease in yield resulted primarily from decreases in market
interest rates during 2003 and the impact of the low interest rates
on new and repriced assets during 2003 and 2004. Partially
offsetting the decrease in yield was an increase in average earning
asset volume. Average earning asset volume increased from June 30,
2003 to the current period by $20.1 million, or 3.60%.
Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was
$6.8 million, an increase of $222,000, or 3.37%, from $6.6 million
in the same period of the prior year. The increase is attributable
to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased by $40.6 million, or 11.45% from
the prior year while other interest-bearing liabilities, comprised
of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, decreased by $9.3
million or 7.64%. Partially offsetting the effect of increased
average interest-bearing liabilities was a decline in rates paid on
average interest-bearing liabilities during the first six months of
2004. The primary cause for this decline was the overall decline in
market interest rates and the impact of low interest rates on new
and repriced liabilities during 2003 and 2004. The rate paid on
total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points
to 2.69% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to
2.79% during the same period in 2003.
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. Nonaccrual loans are included in the
calculation of average balances for loans for the periods indicated.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2004 was
$300,000, compared to $600,000 for the same period of 2003. For the
six-months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the provision was $650,000
and $1.2 million, respectively. The decrease in the provision for
loan losses recorded in the three- and six-month periods ended June
30, 2004 compared to the same periods in the prior year was the
result of improvements in the overall credit exposure in the loan
portfolio. The Company's credit administration function performs
monthly analyses on the loan portfolio to assess and report on risk
levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit
exposure. Management and the Board of Directors reviews 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. We make provisions for loan losses in amounts
that management deems necessary to maintain the allowance for loan
losses at an appropriate level.

Non-interest income decreased $2.5 million, or 37.89%, to $4.1

million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2003.
Non-interest income for the six-months ended June 30, 2004 was $7.5
million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 38.93%, from $12.3 million
for the six-months ended June 30, 2003. These decreases are
attributable primarily to decreases in loans held for sale fee
income. Loans held for sale fee income decreased $2.5 million, or
42.55%, and $5.1 million, or 46.52%, for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively. During 2002 and
the first half of 2003, we experienced significant growth in our
loans held for sale fee income due to the expansion of our National
and Local mortgage divisions concurrent with a relatively low
interest rate environment. The low interest rate environment
resulted in a surge of mortgage refinancing activity. However,
during the second half of 2003 and early in the first half of 2004,
mortgage interest rates increased causing a decline in the volume of
mortgage origination activity, particularly refinancing volume.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded an $82,000
charge for an other-than-temporary impairment on an equity
investment. In addition, during the first quarter of 2004, we took
advantage of opportunities to mitigate the risk of longer-term rate
volatility in our available-for-sale investment portfolio and sold
approximately $6 million of available-for-sale investment securities
and realized $215,000 in gains on the sales.

10.88%, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, from $7.9
million and $14.7 million in the prior year periods, respectively.
These decreases are attributable primarily to a decrease in salaries
and employee benefits expense which decreased $900,000, or 16.66%,
during the second quarter of 2004 and $1.7 million, or 16.61%,
during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to the
prior year periods. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased
due to decreased volume-based incentive compensation in our mortgage
operations. We had 277 full-time equivalent employees at June 30,
2004 compared to 296 at June 30, 2003.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets for the Company at June 30, 2004, were $637.4 million,
an increase of $10.3 million, or 1.63%, compared to $627.1 million
at December 31, 2003. Deposits and stockholders' equity at June 30,
2004, were $479.0 million and $41.4 million, respectively, compared
with $470.5 million and $40.2 million, respectively, at December 31,
2003, increases of $8.5 million, or 1.80%, and $1.2 million, or
2.96%, respectively.
Loans at June 30, 2004 totaled $456.2 million, reflecting an
increase of $31.6 million, or 7.43%, compared to December 31, 2003.
The loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2004 was 93.69% compared to
88.75% at December 31, 2003.
Mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2004 totaled $27.4 million,
an increase of $9.1 million, or 49.69% compared to December 31,
2003. The Company's principal funding source for mortgage loans held
for sale is deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Advance availability with the Federal Home Loan Bank is determined
quarterly and at June 30, 2004, approximately $20.1 million was
available. The Company's Federal Home Loan Bank advance availability
fluctuates depending on levels of available collateral, which
includes mortgage loans held for sale.
Non-performing assets consist primarily of loans past due 90 days or

31, 2003. Although total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2004
increased compared to December 31, 2003, the overall credit exposure
in the Company's total loan portfolio continued to improve;
consequently, the Company recorded a lower provision for loan losses
during the six month period ending June 30, 2004 compared to the six
month period ending June 30, 2003 The level of loans charged-off
decreased during the second quarter of 2004, as evidenced by the
decrease in our ratio of net charge-offs to average loans, to 0.14%
for the period ending June 30, 2004 compared to 0.30% for the period
ending December 31, 2003. 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. Generally, the Company maintains its
allowance for loan losses in excess of its non-performing

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans decreased
slightly to 1.62% as of June 30, 2004, compared to 1.66% at December
31, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, net charge-offs equaled 0.14% of
average total loans on an annualized basis.
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
81.96% and 82.54% of our total deposits at June 30, 2004, and
December 31, 2003, respectively. Generally, the Company's funding
strategy is to utilize Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to fund
originations of mortgage loans held for sale and fund balances
generated by other lines of business with deposits. In addition, the
Company uses other forms of short-term borrowings 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 Company's Asset-Liability Management
Committee utilizes a variety of liquidity monitoring tools,
including an asset/liability modeling service, 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 board of directors monthly, and
at June 30, 2004, the Bank was within the established guidelines.
At June 30, 2004, our total stockholders' equity was $41.4 million
and our equity to asset ratio was 6.49%. At June 30, 2004, our Tier
1 capital ratio was 9.61% compared to 10.04% at December 31, 2003,
while our total risk-based capital ratio was 11.88% compared to
12.41% at December 31, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, we 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.
We use an asset/liability modeling service 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 service 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 June 30, 2004 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
- ------------------------------ ---------------- --------------
300 basis point rise 19.95% 0.82%
200 basis point rise 13.64% 0.61%
100 basis point rise 7.26% 0.50%
Base Rate Scenario - -
25 basis point decline (3.92%) 0.25%
50 basis point decline (9.66%) 0.48%
75 basis point decline (13.13%) 0.74%

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The above table indicates that, at June 30, 2004, in the event of a
sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market rates, our net
interest income would be expected to increase as our assets would be
expected to reprice quicker than our liabilities, while a decrease
in rates would indicate just the opposite. Generally, in the
decreasing rate scenarios, not only would adjustable rate assets
(loans) reprice to lower rates faster than our liabilities, but our
liabilities - long-term Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (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 interest income to decrease. Another
consideration with a rising interest rate scenario is the impact on
mortgage loan refinancing, which would likely decline, leading to
lower loans held for sale fee income, though the impact is difficult
to quantify or project.
The table also indicates that, at June 30, 2004, in the event of a
sudden increase or decrease in prevailing market rates, the current
net economic value of our equity would increase. Given our current
asset/liability position, a 25, 50 or 75 basis point decline in
interest rates will result in a higher economic value of our equity
as the change in estimated gain on assets exceeds the change in
estimated loss on liabilities in these interest rate scenarios.
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. The estimated market value of
investment securities could also rise as our portfolio contains
fixed-rate securities. However, the estimated market value increase
in fixed rate loans and investment securities is partially offset by
time deposits unable to reprice to lower rates immediately and
fixed-rate callable advances from FHLB. 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, and within 90 days of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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-14(c) and
15d-14(c) 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.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have not
been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
