UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations, have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the results of the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Company is a multi-bank financial holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Indiana, Utah, and Wisconsin. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation is listed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 5, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

Interest-bearing Due From Banks

Amounts due from the Federal Reserve Bank, which are interest-bearing in 2009 and at December 31, 2008, and amounts due from certificates of deposits held at other financial institutions are included in interest-bearing due from banks. The amount due from the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $238.9 million at September 30, 2009 and is considered cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from certificates of deposit totaled $300.5 million at September 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008 the amount due from the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $464.0 million and the amounts due from certificates of deposit totaled $111.3 million.

Per Share Data

Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted quarterly per share data includes the dilutive effect of 323,413 and 504,335 shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted by the Company and outstanding at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted year-to-date income per share includes the dilutive effect of 319,453 and 415,982 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted by the Company and outstanding at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase 784,904 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2009, but were not included in the computation of quarterly and year-to-date diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive options outstanding at September 30, 2008.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” or Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805. The purpose of this statement is to improve the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

 

information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It also retains from the original pronouncement, SFAS No. 141, the requirement that the acquisition method (purchase method) be used in all business combinations and the guidance for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2009.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” or ASC 810. This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It eliminates the former minority interest presentation. This statement also requires that the parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2009 with no effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” or ASC 820. This FSP relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the objective of SFAS No. 157 which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. This FSP shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 with no effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” or ASC 820. This FSP relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments including those that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. This FSP requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. This FSP shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 with no effect on its financial position or results of operations except for additional disclosures.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” or ASC 320. This FSP is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of other-than-temporary impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. The FSP also requires increased and more timely disclosures sought by investors regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. This FSP shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP on April 1, 2009 with no effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” or ASC 855. The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This Statement identifies the period after the balance sheet date that transactions should be evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure. It further sets forth the circumstances under which transactions occurring after the balance sheet date should be recognized and the types of disclosure required. This Statement shall be effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this standard in the second quarter of 2009 with no effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” or ASC 860. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS No. 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 to qualifying special-purpose entities. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within the first annual reporting period. The Company cannot currently quantify with precision the effect that this standard will have on the financial position or results of operations in the future.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” or ASC 810, which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all entities currently within the scope of FIN 46(R), as well as qualifying special-purpose entities that are currently excluded from the scope of FIN 46(R). This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within the first annual reporting period. The Company cannot currently quantify with precision the effect that this standard will have on the financial position or results of operations in the future.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies, federal agency mortgage backed securities, and municipal securities were caused by interest rate risk. Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.

8. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

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

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

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

Contract or Notional Amount (in thousands):

 

     September 30,
2009
   December 31,
2008
      

Commitments to extend credit for loans (excluding credit card loans)

Commitments to extend credit under credit card loans

     2,887      2,552

Standby letters of credit

     279,698      288,699

     7,251      11,060

Spot foreign exchange contracts

     847      19,100

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

9. Business Segment Reporting

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into six major segments, as shown below (collectively, “Business Segments”). The Business Segments are differentiated based on the products and services they provide. Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on allocation methodologies in effect at September 30, 2009, consistent with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Table of Contents

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (CONTINUED)

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

 

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis is required to be disclosed. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Short-Term Investments The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Securities Available for Sale Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Trading Securities Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates that are currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

 

Short-Term Debt The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of their maturities.

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.

Other Off-Balance Sheet Instruments The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit are determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments nor their fair values at September 30, 2009 are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at September, 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows (in millions):

11. Visa

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

Overview

The Company focuses on the following five core strategies. Management believes these strategies will continue to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet.

The first strategy is to grow the Company’s fee-based businesses. Despite current economic pressures, the Company continues to emphasize its fee-based operations to help reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. During the third quarter of 2009, noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 1.8 percent, compared to the same period of 2008. The Company continues to emphasize its asset management, bankcard services, health care services, and payment and technology solutions businesses. Trust and securities processing income increased $1.1 million, or 3.5 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to a $3.0 million, or 27.5 percent, increase in fund administration and custody services, offset by a $0.6 million, or 6.6 percent, decrease in fee income from the Scout Funds and a $0.8 million, or 22.2 percent, decrease in corporate trust income. Trading and investment banking income increased $3.9 million, or 132.5 percent, from the third quarter of 2008 due to market increases in the Company’s mutual fund investments. Bankcard fees increased $1.2 million, or 11.6 percent, from the third quarter of 2008 due to increased credit card and ATM processing income. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in service charges on deposits of $2.0 million, or 9.0 percent, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily from a decrease in return item fees of $1.9 million, or 18.0 percent. As noted, a $1.1 million pre-tax gain was recognized in the third quarter of 2008 as a result of the final contingent payment received on the sale of the securities transfer product, which was originated in the third quarter of 2007.

The second strategy is a focus on net interest income through loan and deposit growth. During the third quarter of 2009, progress on this strategy was illustrated by an increase in net interest income of $9.6 million, or 14.5 percent from the previous year. Through the effects of increased volume of average earning assets and a low cost of funds in its balance sheet, the Company has continued to show increased net interest income in a historically low rate environment. Average earning assets increased by $1.3 billion, or 16.9 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2008. This increase was due to a $143.8 million, or 3.4 percent, increase in average loans and a $1.0 billion, or 32.2 percent, increase in total securities, including trading securities. Net interest margin decreased 6 basis points to 3.51 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same quarter in 2008. The net interest margin decrease was a result of a 25 basis point reduction in the benefit of interest-free funds offset by a 19 basis point increase in net interest spread over the third quarter of 2008. The average earning asset growth was funded with an increase in deposits of $809.0 million, or 11.4 percent, since September 30, 2008.

The third strategy is a focus on improving operating efficiencies. At September 30, 2009, the Company had 135 branches. The Company continues to emphasize increasing its primary retail customer base by providing a broad offering of services through our existing branch network. These efforts have resulted in the total deposits growth previously discussed. The Company continues to evaluate its cost structure for opportunities to moderate expense growth without sacrificing growth initiatives.

The fourth strategy is a focus on capital management. The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. The Company continues to maximize shareholder value through a mix of reinvesting in organic growth, investing in acquisitions, evaluating increased dividends over time and properly utilizing a share buy-back strategy. At September 30, 2009 the Company had $1.0 billion in total shareholders’ equity. This is an increase of $25.2 million, or 2.5 percent, from total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 of $974.8 million. At September 30, 2009, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.35 percent, which is substantially higher than the 10 percent regulatory minimum to be considered well-capitalized. The Company repurchased 226,796 shares at an average price of $39.83 per share during the third quarter of 2009.

The fifth strategy is to deliver the unparalleled customer experience. The Company delivers products and services through outstanding associates who are focused on a high-touch customer service model. The Company continues to hire key associates within the core segments that are focused on achieving our strategies through a high level of service. The Company’s associates exhibit pride, power, and passion each day to enable the Company to retain a strong customer base and focus on growing this base to obtain the financial results noted below.

Earnings Summary

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $24.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $21.8 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 10.2 percent increase over the three-month period ended September 30, 2008. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2009 were $0.60 per share ($0.59 per share fully-diluted) compared to $0.54 per share ($0.53 per share fully-diluted) for the third quarter of 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 were 0.97 and 9.43 percent, respectively, compared to 1.00 and 9.25 percent for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008.

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $65.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $77.8 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 15.7 percent decrease over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. Basic earnings per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 were $1.62 per share ($1.61 per share fully-diluted) compared to $1.91 per share ($1.89 per share fully-diluted) for the period in 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 were 0.87 and 8.78 percent, respectively, compared to 1.21 and 11.23 percent for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 increased $9.6 million, or 14.5 percent, and $28.6 million, or 14.5 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. These increases are primarily due to a higher volume of average earning assets. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, average earning assets increased by $1.3 billion, or 16.9 percent, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, they increased by $1.5 billion, or 20.0 percent, compared to the same periods in 2008. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.51 percent and 3.44 percent for the three and nine-months periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to 3.57 percent and 3.59 percent for the same periods in 2008. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Net Interest Income.

The provision for loan losses increased by $3.8 million and $8.3 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. These changes are a direct result of applying the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses. With the increased provision, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased by 17 basis points to 1.36 percent as of September 30, 2009, compared to September 30, 2008. For a description of the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses, please see the summary discussion of the Allowance for Loan Losses within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates subsection of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noninterest income increased by $1.4 million, or 1.8 percent, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and decreased by $16.3 million, or 6.7 percent, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods one year ago. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.

Noninterest expense increased by $5.4 million, or 4.9 percent, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, and increased by $25.3 million, or 8.0 percent, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. These increases are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect net interest income. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, net interest income increased $9.6 million, or 14.5 percent, compared to the same period in 2008. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, net interest income increased $28.6 million, or 14.5 percent, compared to the same period in 2008.

The Company continues to experience a repricing of these earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the recent interest rate cycle. While the Company continues to see declining rates, it has been able to improve net interest income. As illustrated in

Table of Contents

Table 1, net interest spread for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 19 basis points and net interest margin decreased by 6 basis points compared to the same period in 2008. Net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 16 basis points, but net interest margin decreased by 15 basis points compared to the same period in 2008. These results are primarily due to the interest-bearing liabilities repricing quicker than the earning assets, coupled with the contribution from noninterest-bearing demand deposits (free funds). While the Company has experienced a decline in net interest margin over the same periods one year ago, its increase in volume of earning assets has led to an increase in net interest income. For the impact of the contribution from free funds, see the Analysis of Net Interest Margin within Table 2 below. Table 2 also illustrates how the changes in volume and rates have resulted in an increase in net interest income.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the appropriate balance of the ALL. This analysis considers qualitative and quantitative measures such as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, migration analysis, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration and other factors. This analysis is performed

separately for each bank as regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis. After the balance sheet analysis is performed for the ALL, the provision for loan losses is computed as the amount required to adjust the ALL to the appropriate level.

Based on the factors above, management of the Company expensed $8.3 million and $20.6 million related to the provision for loan losses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to $4.5 million and $12.4 million for the same periods in 2008. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the ALL increased to 1.36 percent of total loans as of September 30, 2009, compared to 1.19 percent of total loans as of the same period in 2008.

Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s ALL for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net charge-offs were $14.1 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2008. See “Credit Risk Management” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest Income

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

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

Fee-based, or noninterest income (summarized in Table 4), increased by $1.4 million, or 1.8 percent, during the three months ended September 30, 2009, and decreased by $16.3 million, or 6.7 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. Table 4 below summarizes the components of noninterest income and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Trust and securities processing consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities services, trust investments and money management services, and servicing of mutual fund assets. These fees increased $1.1 million, or 3.5 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and decreased $9.7 million, or 10.1 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase during the three-month period was primarily due to a $3.0 million, or 27.5 percent, increase in fund administration and custody services primarily from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc., offset by a $0.6 million, or 6.6 percent, decrease in fee income from the Scout Funds and a $0.8 million, or 22.2 percent, decrease in corporate trust income. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily attributable to a decrease in fee income from Scout Funds, fund administration and custody services, and corporate trust. Fee income from the Scout Funds for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $5.3 million, or 18.7 percent. Fund administration and custody services fees for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, decreased by $1.5 million, or 4.2 percent. Corporate trust fees for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $1.1 million, or 10.6 percent. Corporate trust fees have been impacted by the depressed market conditions. Trust and securities processing fees are asset-based. As such, they are highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets. Thus, the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. Management continues to emphasize sales of services to both new and existing clients as well as increasing and improving the distribution channels, which lead to increased inflows into the Scout Funds.

Trading and investment banking fees increased by $3.9 million, or 132.5 percent, and by $5.8 million, or 39.5 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods one year ago. This activity is indicative of the dynamic rate environment and is predominately due to market increases in the Company’s mutual fund investments.

As noted, a $1.1 million pre-tax gain was recognized in the third quarter of 2008 as a result of the final contingent payment received on the sale of the securities transfer product, which was originated in the third quarter of 2007.

In the first quarter of 2008 and impacting the nine month periods comparison, an $8.9 million pre-tax gain was recognized on the mandatory partial redemption of the Company’s holdings of Class B shares of Visa, Inc. common stock. This redemption was part of the initial public offering of Visa, Inc.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $3.0 million, or 5.3 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and by $10.5 million, or 6.3 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. These increases are primarily due to higher employee base salaries, higher commissions and bonuses and higher cost of benefits. These increases are directly correlated to the Company’s financial performance, the hiring of strategic personnel throughout the organization, and increased salaries and benefits from recent acquisitions.

Equipment expense decreased by $2.3 million, or 16.9 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and by $3.8 million, or 9.4 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. These decreases are due to lower depreciation expense and amortization expense of equipment and software.

Amortization of other intangibles increased $1.0 million, or 129.7 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and by $2.1 million, or 91.2 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. These increases are primarily due to increased amortization from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Company during the second quarter of 2009.

Regulatory fees increased $2.4 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. The increases in both periods represent changes significantly greater than 100 percent and are a direct result of increased deposit insurance assessment rates from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and a special assessment levied during the second quarter of 2009.

During the first quarter of 2008 and impacting the nine month periods comparison, a $4.0 million reduction of the Visa, Inc. covered litigation provision was recorded. This reduction was a direct result of Visa Inc.’s funding of a litigation escrow account with funds from its initial public offering. As a member bank, the Company reduced this provision in relationship to the Company’s ownership proportion of Visa, Inc.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate is 27.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 30.5 percent for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to tax-exempt income representing a larger percentage of pre-tax earnings in 2009 compared to 2008. The first quarter of 2008 includes the one-time tax impact from the gain on the mandatory redemption of Visa stock.

Strategic Lines of Business

The Company’s operations are strategically aligned into six major segments: Commercial Banking and Lending, Payment and Technology Solutions, Banking Services, Consumer Services, Asset Management, and Fund Services. Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance of individual business segments. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at September 30, 2009. The segments are differentiated by both the customers and the products and services offered. The Treasury and Other Adjustments category includes items not directly associated with the other segments.

Commercial Banking and Lending’s net income before taxes increased $10.7 million, or 98.7 percent, to $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net income was driven primarily by greater net interest income of $18.3 million due to higher loan volume and enhanced yields in this segment. This increase was offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $2.1 million, or 7.4 percent, and a $5.2 million increase in provision for loan losses from 2008. The noninterest expense increase was mostly attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits related to the addition of sales officers and an increase in incentive payments from additional revenue in this segment. The increase in provision expense is primarily attributable to loan growth and the current economic environment. Management believes that income growth in this segment will be relatively flat during the fourth quarter of 2009 due to the economic environment.

Payment and Technology Solutions’ net income before taxes decreased $4.0 million, or 8.7 percent, to $42.2 million for the first nine months of 2009. Noninterest income decreased by $0.9 million, or 1.8 percent, due to a decline in check related volumes in treasury management, which was partially offset with increases to card related products. Noninterest expense increased $2.8 million, or 4.2 percent, compared to 2008 primarily from an increase in FDIC assessment rates and the special assessment levied on banks during the second quarter. Management anticipates this segment to continue to be impacted by the economy via payment volumes and the low rate environment for the remainder of 2009.

Banking Services’ net income before taxes was $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This was a $3.4 million increase from the same period in 2008. The increase in net income before taxes was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest income of $3.1 million and net interest margin of $0.8 million compared to 2008. The revenue increase is a result of increased bond trading income from both increased volume and margin. This is offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $0.5 million compared to the first nine months of 2008, mainly due to increased incentives for increased sales production. Year-to-date average deposits in this segment from correspondent banking customers have increased approximately $20.7 million over 2008 due to economic uncertainty and a flight to safety. As economic conditions remain uncertain and rates continue to remain at historic lows, management expects institutional fixed income sales to remain at a high level. However tightened margins in the municipal bond market will put some downward pressure on revenue growth for the remainder of 2009.

Consumer Services’ net income before taxes declined by $7.5 million to $2.5 million for the first nine months in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Several drivers contributed to this decrease. Noninterest expense increased $6.1 million over 2008, in which the most significant driver was FDIC assessment rate increases and the special assessment levied on banks during the year. These assessments amounted to $4.8 million for Consumer Services. Provision for loan losses also increased over 2008 by $2.6 million, reflecting the general industry trend in credit card charge-offs. The Company’s credit card charge-offs continue to trend significantly below industry averages. Net interest margin increased $3.2 million from decreased funding costs on liabilities. Asset yields decreased as well but at a slower rate than the cost of funds. Noninterest income was slightly lower with a decrease of $2.1 million from 2008. Loan fees have increased as consumer mortgage activity has been strong during 2009. These increases were offset with a reduction in return item revenue which is due to changes in consumer behavior in the current economic environment.

Table of Contents

Asset Management’s net income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 43.7 percent, from the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income before taxes was primarily attributable to decreases in noninterest income of $10.6 million, caused by the decline in assets under management due to market depreciation from September 2008 through March 2009. An increase in noninterest expense of $6.3 million was offset by an increase in net interest margin of $7.6 million, due to increased deposits and loans from private banking customers. Noninterest expense increased due to increases in base salaries and benefits and increased commissions. During 2009, staff additions were made to the high net worth sales and service teams in this segment. The increase in noninterest expense was partially offset by lower shareholder servicing and other administration fees related to the Scout Funds resulting from the decreased asset base in the funds. The Scout Funds continue to have strong flows, specifically from the bond and equity funds. Net flows to the equity and bond Scout Funds were $739 million for the first nine months of 2009. Management will continue to focus sales efforts to increase net flows to the Scout Funds. As noted above, the ability of the Company to maintain or grow the fee income from this segment is also related to the overall health of the equity and financial markets because a significant portion of the fee income from this segment is related to total assets under management. As the equity markets have improved since March, assets and revenue have increased. The assets under management in this segment are diversified across multiple asset classes with approximately 38 percent in the international class, 30 percent in the fixed income class, 16 percent in the U.S. large capitalization class, 10 percent in the short term investment class, and 6.0 percent in the small and middle capitalization class. Management believes this diversification helps provide protection against significant market changes in any one asset class. The revenues of the corporate trust business remain steady as management continues to focus its growth efforts on this line of business. Although economic factors and low interest rates have compressed corporate trust revenue in 2009, management will continue to focus on growth.

Fund Services’ net income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $5.0 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 55.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2008. Reduced net interest margin, lower noninterest income and increased noninterest expense all contributed to the decline. Net interest income declined 29.4 percent, which was $1.5 million less than 2008, despite higher balances compared to the same period in 2008. Noninterest income declined $1.7 million, or 4.6 percent, from the same period in 2008, despite the addition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. revenue of $4.7 million, as a result of the decline in assets under administration due to market decline. The ability of the Company to maintain or grow the fee income from this segment is related to the overall health of the equity and financial markets because a significant portion of the segment’s fee income is tied to total assets under administration. Noninterest income in the third quarter increased $2.6 million over the second quarter of 2009, aided by market appreciation and an additional month of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. revenue. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $32.9 million, which was $3.0 million more than the same period in 2008, reflecting the addition of operating expenses related to the J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. acquisition in May 2009, offset by decreased third party custodian fees related to international transactions.

The net income before tax for the Treasury and Other Adjustments category was $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to net income before tax of $11.8 million for the same period in 2008. Included in this segment in 2008 was the gain on the mandatory redemption of Visa class B common stock of $8.9 million and the reduction of the liability accrual related to the Company’s estimated share of Visa’s covered litigation recognized in 2008 for $4.0 million.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets of the Company as of September 30, 2009 decreased $0.7 billion compared to December 31, 2008 and increased $0.9 billion, or 9.6 percent, compared to September 30, 2008. The increase in total assets from September 2008 to September 2009 is a result of increased loan balances of $90.5 million, or 2.1 percent. Investment securities balances including trading securities also increased $781.6 million, or 21.0 percent. These asset balance increases are directly related to a corresponding increase in deposit balances between the same periods of $809.0 million, or 11.4 percent. The decrease in total assets from December to September is primarily a result of the cyclical trend due to the pledging and collateral required related to seasonal public fund repurchase agreements and deposits.

Table of Contents

Deposits increased by $164.9 million, or 2.1 percent, from December to September and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased by $980.7 million, or 46.1 percent, from December to September. The decline in securities sold under agreement to repurchase is primarily driven by increased seasonal public fund tax deposits, because such tax deposits are generally higher around the end of the calendar year.

Loans

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

Total loan balances have decreased $73.2 million, or 1.7 percent, compared to December 31, 2008 and increased $90.5 million, or 2.1 percent, at September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008. The decrease from December 31, 2008 is primarily a result of a 6.0 percent decrease in commercial loans and a 20.9 percent decrease in consumer loans, offset by an 8.9 percent increase in real estate loans. The increase at September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008 was primarily related to a $258.0 million increase in real estate loans offset by a $154.3 million decrease in consumer loans. The increase in real estate loans is driven by home equity loans and commercial real estate loans. The decrease in consumer loans is related to a reduction in indirect loans. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company made the decision to phase out its indirect loan portfolio. This is part of a strategy to enhance asset yields. The Company will continue to service existing loans until maturity or payoff.

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

Securities

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

Investment securities totaled $4.5 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $3.7 billion at September 30, 2008, and $4.9 billion at December 31, 2008. Management expects collateral pledging requirements for public funds, loan demand, and deposit funding to be the primary factors impacting changes in the level of security holdings. Investment securities comprised 47.8 percent, 48.8 percent, and 44.5 percent, respectively, of the earning assets as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008. There were $4.2 billion of these securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law at September 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

Investment securities had an average tax-equivalent yield of 3.57 percent for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 4.60 percent for the same period in 2008, or a decrease of 103 basis points. The average life of the securities portfolio was 24.2 months at September 30, 2009 compared to 17.5 months at December 31, 2008 and 25.4 months at September 30, 2008. The decrease in average life from September 30, 2008 was related to a modest shortening of the portfolio due to shorter investments in the low interest rate environment. The most significant reason for the increase in average life from December 31, 2008 was the increased number of extremely short-term discount notes held at December 31, 2008. These short-term securities are held due to the seasonal fluctuation related to public fund deposits, which are expected to flow out of the bank in a relatively short period.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits increased $164.9 million, or 2.1 percent, from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 and increased $809.0 million from September 30, 2008. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $211.2 million and interest-bearing deposits decreased $46.3 million from December 31, 2008. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $307.3 million and interest-bearing deposits increased $501.8 million from September 30, 2008. The increase in deposits from September 30, 2008 came primarily from our public funds, mutual fund processing and treasury management businesses, and personal savings accounts.

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

Borrowed funds decreased $979.7 million from December 31, 2008. Borrowed funds are typically higher at year end due to repurchase agreements related to public funds. Borrowings, other than repurchase agreements, are a function of the source and use of funds and will fluctuate to cover short term gaps in funding.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2008. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date.

Capital and Liquidity

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

Total shareholders’ equity was $1.0 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $974.8 million at December 31, 2008. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized, at its April 21, 2009 and April 22, 2008 meetings, plans to repurchase up to two million shares of the Company’s common stock during the twelve months following the meetings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company acquired 689,743 shares and 562,851 shares, respectively, of its common stock. The Company has not made any purchases other than through these plans.

On October 27, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.185 per share. The dividend will be paid on January 4, 2009 to shareholders of record on December 11, 2009.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. A financial institution’s total capital is required to equal at least 8 percent of risk-weighted assets. At least half of that 8 percent must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance

sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company’s high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.50 percent and total capital ratio of 14.51 percent substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the recorded estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of critical accounting policies is listed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

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

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

Interest Rate Risk

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

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

Net Interest Income Modeling

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

Table 9 shows the net interest income increase or decrease over the next twelve months as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates.

The Company is asset sensitive at September 30, 2009 to increases or decreases in rates. Gradual increases in interest rates could cause increases in net interest income while a gradual decrease in interest rates could cause a decrease in net interest income. The Company is sensitive to rising rates due to the Company having a greater percentage of interest income from shorter-term investment securities, and increased cash flows from longer-term investment securities compared to 2008. A primary contributor to the negative exposure to falling rates is that with short-term market interest rates being lower than in 2008 and at historically low levels, in some cases close to zero, a large portion of the Company’s liabilities have reached, in effect, a floor. Nevertheless, the Company is positioned in the current low rate environment to be relatively neutral to further interest rate changes over the next twelve months.

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

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

Trading Account

The Company’s subsidiary UMB Bank, n.a. carries taxable government securities in a trading account that is maintained according to a board-approved policy and relevant procedures. The policy limits the amount and type of securities that UMB Bank, n.a. can carry in the trading account and also requires that UMB Bank, n.a. comply with any limits under applicable law and regulations. The policy also mandates the use of a value at risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters. The risk associated with carrying trading securities is offset by the sale of exchange traded futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily. This account had a balance of $46.5 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $38.5 million as of December 31, 2008.

The Manager of the Investment Banking Division of UMB Bank, n.a. presents documentation of the methodology used in determining value at risk at least annually to the Board for approval in compliance with OCC Banking Circular 277, Risk Management of Financial Derivatives, and other banking laws and regulations. The aggregate value at risk is reviewed quarterly. The aggregate value at risk in the trading account was insignificant as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Other Market Risk

The Company does not have material commodity price risks or derivative risks. The Company does have minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts. See Note 8 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Risk Management

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

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $15.5 million to $22.4 million at September 30, 2009, compared to September 30, 2008 and increased $13.6 million, compared to December 31, 2008. This increase is related to the downgrade of a large syndicated credit combined with the general effects of the continued downturn in the economy.

The Company had $4.7 million of other real estate owned as of September 30, 2009 compared to $1.6 million as of September 30, 2008 and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2008. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $5.6 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $7.9 million at September 30, 2008 and $6.9 million as of December 31, 2008.

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

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. The Company had $0 of restructured loans at September 30, 2009, $142,000 at September 30, 2008 and $141,000 at December 31, 2008.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. Management believes the most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, management believes that public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary sources of liquidity for the Company are regularly scheduled payments and maturity of assets, which include $4.4 billion of high-quality securities available for sale. Investment securities with a market value of $4.2 billion at September 30, 2009 were pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company’s subsidiary banks has been core deposits. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management believes it can raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at September 30, 2009 was $3.5 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

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

Operational Risk

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

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

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers to make certain certifications with respect to this report and to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company has a Code of Ethics that expresses the values that drive employee behavior and maintains the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of ethics.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information the Company is required to report in its periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period required and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

All open market share purchases under the share repurchase plans are intended to be within the scope of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

This plan will terminate on April 21, 2010. The Company has not made any repurchases other than through this plan.
