Part I. Financial Information
Item 1.   Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Blue Valley Ban Corp.
Overland Park, Kansas 66225
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Blue Valley Ban Corp. as of March 31, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 21, 2011 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Blue Valley Ban Corp.’s (the “Company”) condensed consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2011, and the condensed consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and are of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company, as of December 31, 2010, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2010 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The report of BKD, LLP commenting upon their review accompanies the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I.
Note 2: Recent and Future Accounting Pronouncements
On July 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310, Receivables, to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses.
Existing disclosures are amended to require an entity to provide a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period on a portfolio segment basis, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of the impairment method. For each disaggregated ending balance in the rollforward schedule, the related recorded investment in financing receivables must be disclosed. The disclosure would include the nonaccrual status of financing receivables by class of financing receivables, as well as the impaired financing receivables by class of financing receivables.
The amendments in the ASU also require an entity to provide the following additional disclosures about its financing receivables: (1) the credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; (2) the aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; (3) the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses; (4) the nature and extent of financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that defaulted during the reporting period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses; and (5) significant purchases and sales of financing receivables during the reporting period disaggregated by portfolio segment.

Note 2: Recent and Future Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period were effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Management has adopted this update and included the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this update had no adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 19, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this ASU temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring is provided in ASU 2011-02 issued on April 5, 2011.
On April 5, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The update is intended to assist lenders and other creditors in determining whether a modification of terms meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The update clarifies that if a borrower does not have access to debt at a market rate for debt with similar characteristics as the restructured debt, the restructuring would be considered at a below-market rate, which may indicate a concession was granted. In that circumstance, a creditor should consider all aspects of the restructuring in determining whether it has granted a concession. If a concession has been granted, the creditor must make a separate assessment about whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties to determine if the restructure constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. This update clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The update also clarifies that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The guidance is effective for public entities for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and is to be applied retrospectively to modifications that occur on or after the beginning of the year of adoption. The update also requires the disclosures about troubled debt restructuring previously deferred in ASU 2011-01 to be disclosed for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Management does not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The computation of per share loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

(A)   No shares of stock options, restricted stock or warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for any period there was a loss.
 
(B)   Warrants to purchase 111,083 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $29.37 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrant’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making the warrants anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 24,375 and 33,875 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making the options anti-dilutive.
Income available for common stockholders is reduced by dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not they are paid) and the accretion of the warrants.

Note 4: Available-for-Sale Securities (Continued)
The Company enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. The amounts deposited under these agreements represent short-term debt and are reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. During the period, securities held in safekeeping were pledged to the depositors under a written custodial agreement that explicitly recognizes the depositors’ interest in the securities. At March 31, 2011, or at any month end during the period, no material amount of agreements to repurchase securities sold was outstanding with any individual entity. Information on sales of securities under agreements to repurchase is as follows:
                 
    March 31, 2011     December 31, 2010  
    (In thousands)  
Balance
  $ 14,858     $ 17,674  
Carrying value of securities pledged to secure agreements to repurchase at period end
    24,978       27,031  
Average balance during the period of securities sold under agreements to repurchase
    16,669       17,922  
Maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during the period
    18,633       21,935  
There were no gross gains or losses realized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from sales of available-for-sale securities.
Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, was $20,480,000 and $29,813,000, which is approximately 36.8% and 46.8%, respectively, of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. The total unrealized losses related to these investments were $120,000 and $179,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These declines in fair value resulted primarily from recent increases in market interest rates. Based on evaluation of available information and evidence, particularly recent volatility in market yields on debt securities, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

Note 5: Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include non-performing loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.
The following table presents impaired loans for March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

    Note 7: Long-Term Debt (Continued)
  (A)   Due in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018; collateralized by various assets including mortgage-backed loans, available-for-sale securities and cash equivalents. The interest rates on the advances range from 0.34% to 4.26%. Federal Home Loan Bank advance availability is determined quarterly and at March 31, 2011, approximately $19,967,000 was available.
 
      In the third quarter of 2010, the Company repaid $42,500,000 of FHLB advances by rolling the net present value of the advances being repaid into the funding cost of $42,500,000 of new advances. A $2,569,000 penalty was associated with paying off the original FHLB advances which is amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the new FHLB advances using the straight line method. This transaction reduced the effective interest rate, as well as modified the maturity date on these borrowings.
 
  (B)   Due in 2033; interest only at LIBOR + 3.25% (3.55% at March 31, 2011 and 3.54% at December 31, 2010) due quarterly; fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis to the extent that the funds are held by the Trust. BVBC Capital Trust II issued and sold $7,500,000 in Preferred Securities to third parties and $232,000 of Common Securities to the Company. The Company may prepay the subordinated debentures beginning in 2008, in whole or in part, at their face value plus accrued interest.
 
  (C)   Due in 2035; interest only at LIBOR + 1.60% (1.91% at March 31, 2011 and 1.90% at December 31, 2010) due quarterly; fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis to the extent that the funds are held by the Trust. Subordinated to the trust preferred securities (B) due in 2033. BVBC Capital Trust III issued and sold $11,500,000 in Preferred Securities to third parties and $356,000 in Common Securities to the Company. The Company may prepay the subordinated debentures beginning in 2010, in whole or in part, at their face value plus accrued interest.
At the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, quarterly payments are being deferred on the Company’s outstanding trust preferred securities. Under the governing documents of BVBC Capital Trust II and III, the quarterly payments due since April 24, 2009 for BVBC Capital Trust II and March 31, 2009 for BVBC Capital Trust III were deferred. The Company has the right to declare such a deferral for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods and deferral may only be declared as long as the Company is not then in default under the provisions of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement. During the deferral period, interest on the indebtedness continues to accrue and the unpaid interest is compounded. For BVBC Capital Trust III, the Company must also accrue additional interest that is equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 1.60% during the deferral period. All accrued interest and compounded interest must be paid at the end of the deferral period.

Note 7: Long-Term Debt (Continued)
For both BVBC Capital Trust II and BVBC Capital Trust III, as long as the deferral period continues, the Company is prohibited from: (i) declaring or paying any dividend on any of its capital stock, which would include both its common stock and the outstanding preferred stock issued to the United States Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”), or (ii) making any payment on any debt security that is ranked pair passu with the debt securities issued by the respective trusts. Because the Preferred Shares issued under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan (the “CPP”) are subordinate to the trust preferred securities, the Company will be restricted from paying dividends on these Preferred Shares until such time as all trust preferred dividends have been brought current.

Note 8: Derivative Instruments
The Company has commitments outstanding to extend credit on residential mortgages that have not closed prior to the end of the period. As the Company enters into commitments to originate these loans, it also enters into commitments to sell the loans in the secondary market on a best-efforts basis. The Company acquires such commitments to reduce interest rate risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale. These commitments to originate or sell loans on a best efforts basis are considered derivative instruments under ASC 815. This standard requires the Company to recognize all derivative instruments in the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fair value. As a result of measuring the fair value of the commitments to originate loans, the Company recorded an increase of $1,000 in other assets, a decrease in other liabilities of $7,000 and an increase in other income of $8,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
Additionally, the Company has commitments to sell loans that have closed prior to the end of the period on a best efforts basis. Due to the mark to market adjustment on commitments to sell loans held for sale the Company recorded a decrease in other assets of $362,000 and a decrease in other income of $362,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.

Note 8: Derivative Instruments (Continued)
Total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to $1,497,000 at March 31, 2011. Related forward commitments to sell mortgage loans amounted to approximately $352,000 at March 31, 2011.
The balance of derivative instruments related to commitments to originate and sell loans at March 31, 2011, is disclosed in Note 10, Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.
Note 9: Fair Value Option
The Company has elected to measure loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with ASC 825, Fair Value Option. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and other items at fair value. An entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date. Loans held for sale is made up entirely of mortgage loans held for immediate sale in the secondary market with servicing released. These loans are sold prior to origination at a contracted price to an outside investor on a best efforts basis and remain on the Company’s balance sheet for a short period of time (typically 30 to 60 days). It is management’s opinion given the short-term nature of these loans, that fair value provides a reasonable measure of the economic value of these assets. In addition, carrying such loans at fair value eliminates some measure of volatility created by the timing of sales proceeds from outside investors, which typically occur in the month following origination.
The difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale was a gain of $2,000 at March 31, 2011. A gain from fair value changes included in loans held for sale fee income was $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Interest income on loans held for sale is included in interest and fees on loans in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 10 for additional disclosures regarding fair value of mortgage loans held for sale.

Note 10: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
  Level 1     Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 2     Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 3    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government sponsored agencies. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include other less liquid securities.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using market prices for loans with similar characteristics. This measurement is classified as Level 2 within the hierarchy.
Commitments to Originate Loans and Forward Sales Commitments
Commitments to originate loans and forward sales commitments are valued using a valuation model which considers differences between quoted prices for loans with similar characteristics in the secondary market and the committed rates. The valuation model includes assumptions which adjust the price for the likelihood that the commitment will ultimately result in a closed loan. These measurements are significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

Note 10: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)
Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Loans
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock, and other securities
The carrying amounts for these securities approximate their fair value.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Long-Term Debt
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
Commitments to Extend Credit, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Note 11: Dividends on Preferred Shares
At the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the Company notified the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) of its intention to defer the quarterly dividend payments on the Preferred Shares due to the Treasury since May 15, 2009. As part of the Capital Purchase Plan, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Treasury on December 5, 2008, which includes a Securities Purchase Agreement-Standard Terms. As part of the agreement, dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid. Failure by the Company to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. However, a failure to pay a total of six Preferred Share dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Preferred Shares the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. That right would continue until the Company pays all dividends in arrears. The dividend payment due on August 15, 2010 was the sixth dividend payment deferred by the Company. At this time, the Treasury has not elected any directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors; however, beginning in November 2010 the Treasury assigned an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings. The Company has accrued for the dividends and interest and has every intention to bring the obligation current as soon as permitted. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had accrued $2,287,000 for dividends and interest on outstanding Preferred Shares.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, can generally be identified by use of the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. The Company is unable to predict the actual results of its future plans or strategies with certainty. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing; inability to maintain or increase deposit base and secure adequate funding; a continued deterioration of general economic conditions or the demand for housing in the Company’s market areas; a deterioration in the demand for mortgage financing; legislative or regulatory changes; regulatory action; continued adverse developments in the Company’s loan or investment portfolio; any inability to obtain funding on favorable terms; the Company’s non-payment on TARP funds or Trust Preferred Securities; the loss of key personnel; significant increases in competition; potential unfavorable actions from rating agencies; potential unfavorable results of litigation to which the Company may become a party; and the possible dilutive effect of potential acquisitions or expansions. For other risk factors refer to the risk factors section of the December 31, 2010 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2011. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors. Nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
General
   Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are largely proscribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. After a review of our policies, we determined that accounting for the allowance for loan losses and income taxes are deemed critical accounting policies because of the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of certain financial statement amounts to the methods, as well as the assumptions and estimates underlying these policies. Accounting for these critical areas requires subjective and complex judgments that could be subject to revision as new information becomes available. Further description of our critical accounting policies can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
    Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, was $429,000 compared to net loss of $873,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, representing an improvement of $444,000, or 50.86%. The loss per share on a diluted basis was $0.25 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represented an improvement of 39.02%, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.41 in the same period of 2010. The Company’s annualized returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2011,

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
were negative 0.25% and negative 8.13%, compared to negative 0.44% and negative 12.04%, respectively, for the same period in 2010, representing improvements of 43.18% and 32.48%, respectively.
The Company experienced improvement in net interest income by $470,000, or 12.91%, to $4.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $3.6 million earned during the same period in 2010. The increase was due to a decline in the interest expense, which decreased $1.5 million, or 36.74%, from the same period in 2010 as a result of a decrease in rates paid on deposits. As market rates have declined, the rates on deposits have also declined. In 2010 the Company had funds from various time deposit promotions mature, and as those higher rate time deposits matured they were renewed at lower market rates. In addition, the Company entered into a restructuring transaction during the third quarter of 2010 of $42.5 million of its $82.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. This transaction reduced the effective interest rate, as well as modified the maturity date on these borrowings. This increase in net interest income was partially offset by the decline in interest income by $1.0 million, or 13.13%, as compared to the same period in 2010. The lower interest income was primarily a result of a decline in the average outstanding loan balances by $57.8 million, or 10.71%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the prior year period, as a result of loan payoffs, lower loan origination volume due to the current economic environment, and loan foreclosures.
There was no provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to $250,000 for the same period in the prior year. The Company has experienced a reduction in non-performing loans by $2.9 million, or 9.68%, since December 31, 2010 and $10.0 million, or 26.74%, since March 31, 2010, as management continues to work on improving the credit quality of the loan portfolio. In addition, the Company has experienced a decline in net loan charge offs with a net recovery of $24,000 at March 31, 2011, as compared to net loan charge off of $1.0 million at March 31, 2010. Based on analysis of the loan portfolio, no provision for loan losses was deemed necessary.
Non-interest income decreased $169,000 to $1.4 million, or 10.74%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The decline was primarily the result of lower loans held for sale fee income during the first quarter of 2011 of $167,000, or 23.16%, as compared with the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in loans held for sale fee income was a result of a decline in residential mortgage loan origination and refinancing volume as a result of the mortgage rate environment as compared to the prior year period.
Non-interest expense decreased $165,000, or 2.60%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in non-interest expense was attributed to lower salaries and employee benefits of $152,000, or 5.11%. Salaries and employee benefits have decreased as a result of lower commissions paid due to the decline in the volume of mortgage loan originations and refinancing for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Other factors contributing to the changes was a decrease in net occupancy expense by $69,000, or 9.43%, and an increase in other operating expense by $56,000, or 2.12%, compared to the same period in 2010.

Net Interest Income
Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Fully tax equivalent (FTE) net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, was $4.1 million, an increase of $470,000, or 12.91%, from $3.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.
FTE interest income for the current year first quarter was $6.7 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 13.13%, from $7.7 million in the prior year first quarter. This decrease was primarily a result of a decline in average balances on earning assets, specifically lower average balances on outstanding loans, federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities. The overall yield on average earning assets increased 13 basis points to 4.36% during the three month period ending March 31, 2011, compared to 4.23% during the same period in 2010. The increase in yield is attributed to the decline in the volume of loans on non-accrual at March 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The average outstanding balance of loans has declined by $57.8 million, or 10.71%, as a result of loan payoffs, lower loan origination volume due to the current economic environment and loan foreclosures. Average available federal funds sold and other short-term investments decreased $40.5 million, or 38.08%. The decrease in average federal funds sold and other short-term investments was a result of a decline in average interest-bearing deposits, primarily time deposits as discussed below. Interest income on available-for-sale securities decreased $191,000, or 43.91%, as a result of a decrease in the average balance of available-for-sale securities by $13.1 million, or 17.15%, over the same period in the prior year. Available-for-sale securities were sold during the second, third and fourth quarter of 2010 to reduce the long term maturity risk within the portfolio as a result of the current rate environment. As higher yielding securities of $115.0 million were called or matured in 2010, they were invested at lower yields due to the current rate environment and the securities available for investing, thus resulting in a decline in interest income.
Interest expense for the current year first quarter was $2.5 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 36.74%, from $4.0 million in the prior year first quarter. The decline in interest expense resulted from a decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities resulting from the impact of the lower market interest rates on interest-bearing demand accounts, savings and money market deposits, time deposits and long-term debt. The rate paid on total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.91% for the three month period ending March 31, 2011, compared to 2.46% in the same period of 2010, a decrease of 55 basis points. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $121.6 million, or 18.40%, to $539.3 million during the first quarter of 2011, compared to $660.9 million during the prior year period. The decrease was attributed to decreases in time deposits, savings and money market deposits, and long-term debt. Average time deposits decreased $126.2 million, or 37.58%, partially as a result of the Company not renewing $30.9 million of brokered deposits as they matured during 2010 and $6.8 million in brokered deposits that matured in the first quarter of 2011. The Company replaced brokered funds with core deposits by generating increased interest in our Performance Checking product and in February 2011 started offering a new product, Ultimate Checking. The Company also had several higher rate time deposit promotions mature in 2010 and were renewed at a lower rate. As the renewal rate for these deposits was much lower, some time deposits were not renewed. Average savings and money market deposits decreased $9.1 million, or 10.41%, as customers have moved their funds into interest-bearing demand accounts, specifically Ultimate Checking and Performance Checking accounts, as these products offer a more attractive rate. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was offset by increases in average interest-bearing demand accounts by $14.4 million, or 12.02%, as a result of the growth experienced in balances of our Ultimate and Performance Checking products. While the balances in interest-bearing demand deposits have increased, the

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations
interest expense associated with these accounts have declined $206,000, or 30.29%, as a result of lowering the interest rate paid on the Performance Checking accounts in response to a decline in rates paid in the market. Interest expense for long-term debt is lower as a result of the Company’s restructuring transaction of $42.5 million of its $82.5 million Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the third quarter of 2010, thus lowering overall interest expense on these borrowings.
Average Balance Sheets. The following table sets forth, for the periods and as of the dates indicated, information regarding our average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the dollar amounts of FTE interest income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant yields or costs. Ratio, yield and rate information are based on average daily balances where available; otherwise, average monthly balances have been used. Non-accrual loans are included in the calculation of average balances for loans for the periods indicated. For explanation of changes between periods reported within the table see Net Interest Income and the Financial Condition sections under Item 2.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income Due to Changes in Interest Rates and Volumes. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the increase or decrease related to changes in balances and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to:
    changes in rate, reflecting changes in rate multiplied by the prior period volume; and
 
    changes in volume, reflecting changes in volume multiplied by the current period rate.
For explanation of changes see Net Interest Income section under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts that management deems necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The allowance for loan losses is based upon the analysis of several factors, including general economic conditions, analysis of impaired loans, the general reserve factors, changes in loan mix, classified loans to total risk weighted capital and current and historical charge-offs by loan type. Historical charge off information currently utilized is based on three year weighted average of net charge offs by loan type with more weight given to more current data due to the current economic environment. The Company’s credit administration function performs monthly analyses on the loan portfolio to assess and report on risk levels, delinquencies, internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. Management and the Bank’s Board of Directors review the allowance for loan losses monthly, considering such factors as current and projected economic conditions, loan growth, the composition of the loan portfolio, loan trends and classifications, and other factors. Economic conditions monitored include but are not limited to: Johnson County, KS unemployment rate; consumer confidence; foreclosure rates; vacant property rates; stock market performance; inflation; and interest rates. The allowance for loan losses represents our best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred as of the respective balance sheet dates.
There was no provision for loan losses recorded for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $250,000 in the same period of 2010. The Company has experienced a reduction in non-performing loans by $2.9 million, or 9.68%, since December 31, 2010 and $10.0 million, or 26.74% since March 31, 2010. The Company has also experienced a decline in net loan charge offs and had net loan recoveries at March 31, 2011 of $24,000. Management assessed the loan portfolio, specifically the non-performing loans, on a credit by credit basis, to assess the reserve requirement. Based on analysis of the loan portfolio, no provision for loan losses was deemed necessary for the three month period ended March 31, 2011. Management believes they have identified the significant non-performing loans and will continue to aggressively pursue collection of these loans. If the adverse real estate and construction industry and general economic conditions are more prolonged than management anticipates, the Company could experience higher than anticipated loan losses in the future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Non-interest income decreased $169,000, or 10.74%, to $1.4 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2011, from $1.6 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was the result of a lower mortgage loans held for sale fee income of $167,000, or 23.16%, due to lower origination and refinancing volume during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the mortgage rate environment, as compared with the first quarter of 2010. Sustainability of the level of our loans held for sale fee income is primarily dependent on the economy and interest rate environment, and secondarily dependent on our ability to develop new products and alternative delivery channels. Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest income was a decline in service fee income, specifically non-sufficient funds (NSF) charges and service fees. NSF and service charges fee income decreased by $60,000, or 21.20%, due to fewer overdraft items by our customers and a decrease in account service charges on commercial accounts.
Other changes reflected in non-interest income include an increase in other service charges income, which includes income from trust services, investment brokerage, merchant bankcard processing and debit card processing, by $46,000, or 10.13%, as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily attributed to income generated from signature based debit card transactions associated with our Ultimate and Performance Checking products and increased activity in trust services. Other non-interest income increased by $12,000, or 10.43%, due to higher gains realized on the sale of foreclosed assets held for sale by $211,000, or 147.63%, as a result of the sale of several larger other real estate properties during 2011. This increase was offset by losses due to the effect of recording the net fair value of certain mortgage loan commitments. The net fair value of mortgage loan-related commitments recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was a loss of $354,000 compared to a loss of $164,000 for the same period in 2010, an increased loss of $190,000, or 116.02%. The fair value on these commitments will fluctuate based on the market rates for mortgage loans.

Non-interest expense decreased $165,000, or 2.60%, to $6.2 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to $6.4 million during the prior year period. The change was attributed to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $152,000, or 5.11%, as a result of lower commissions paid during the period on residential mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market as a result of the decline in the volume of mortgage loan originations and refinancing for the period. In addition, net occupancy expense decreased $69,000, or 9.43%, due to lower depreciation expense, telephone and repairs and maintenance expense. Other operating expenses increased $56,000, or 2.12%, as a result of the Company recording a $361,000 provision for other real estate in 2011 compared to $59,000 for the same period in 2010 as a result of a decline in real estate value related to specific foreclosed properties. This increase was partly offset

by lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) deposit insurance assessment as a result of a decrease in the Company’s assessment base, as well as decreases in data processing expense and professional fees.
Financial Condition
Total assets for the Company at March 31, 2011, were $693.8 million, a decrease of $29.3 million, or 4.06%, compared to $723.1 million at December 31, 2010. Deposits were $515.3 million compared with $541.2 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $25.9 million, or 4.79%. Stockholders’ equity was $56.4 million at March 31, 2011, compared with $57.2 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $796,000, or 1.39%.
Investments. Available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2011, totaled $55.6 million, reflecting a 12.64% decrease from $63.6 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was a result of $8.0 million in available-for-sale securities being called during 2011 and not replaced as of the end of the period.
Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale at March 31, 2011, totaled $352,000, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 95.69%, compared to $8.2 million at December 31, 2010. The volume of mortgage loans held for sale originated during 2011 slowed as a result of the mortgage rate and economic environment.
Loans. Loans at March 31, 2011, totaled $476.8 million, reflecting a decrease of $15.7 million, or 3.19%, compared to $492.5 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the loan portfolio was attributed to loans paying off, lower loan originations due to the current economic conditions and loan foreclosures. The loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2011, was 92.52% compared to 90.99% at December 31, 2010.
Non-performing assets consist primarily of loans past due 90 days or more, non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status at 90 days past due and interest accrued to date is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is generally accounted for on a cost recovery basis, meaning interest is not recognized until the past due balance has been collected. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Non-performing loans decreased to $27.4 million at March 31, 2011, from $30.4 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in non-performing loans was attributed to a decrease in non-performing commercial real estate loans by $2.0 million and a decrease in commercial and all other loans by $520,000 since December 31, 2010. The decrease in commercial real estate loans was primarily the result of two credit relationships being upgraded to a pass rated loan as a result of improvement in the credit quality of the borrower and the borrower has shown a history of paying as agreed. The decrease in commercial and all other loans was the result of larger principal payments received on two of our commercial credit relationships. We closely monitor non-performing credit relationships and our philosophy has been to value non-performing loans at their estimated collectible value and to aggressively manage these situations. Foreclosed assets held for sale were $19.1 million as of March 31, 2011, as compared to $20.1 million at December 31, 2010. The Company has sold $1.8 million in foreclosed assets and has transferred $722,000 in loans to foreclosed property during 2011. The Company is actively marketing these properties and working to reduce the balance of foreclosed assets held for sale.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Deposits. Deposits decreased by $25.9 million, or 4.79%, to $515.3 million as of March 31, 2011, compared with $541.2 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in time deposits of $23.7 million, or 10.67%, as a result of brokered time deposits of $6.8 million that matured in January 2011 and were not renewed. As a result of lower time deposit rates, as time deposits mature some have not renew or have invested their funds in a higher yielding product such as our Ultimate or Performance Checking accounts. The Company continues to work on replacing brokered funds with core deposits by generating interest in the Ultimate and Performance checking products, as well as other products offered by the Company.
Liquidity. Liquidity is measured by a financial institution’s ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of marketable assets, such as residential mortgage loans or a portfolio of SBA loans. Other sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved through growth of core deposits and liquid assets, and accessibility to the money and capital markets. The funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans and operate the organization. Core deposits, defined as demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, savings deposits and time deposits less than $100,000 (excluding brokered deposits), were 78.03% and 75.22% of our total deposits at March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Although classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purpose, funds placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) are Bank customer relationships that management views as core deposits. If CDARS deposits under $100,000 placed in the CDARS program are added back, our core deposit ratio would be 78.59% at March 31, 2011, and 77.63% at December 31, 2010. Generally, the Company’s funding strategy is to fund loan growth with core deposits and utilize alternative sources of funds such as advances/borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLBank”), as well as the brokered deposit market to provide for additional liquidity needs and take advantage of opportunities for lower costs. If needed, FHLBank borrowings are used to fund originations of mortgage loans held for sale. Advance availability with the FHLBank fluctuates depending on levels of available collateral and is determined daily with regards to mortgage loans held for sale and quarterly with regards to overall availability and at March 31, 2011, approximately $20.0 million was available.
In addition, the Company uses other forms of short-term debt for cash management and liquidity management purposes on a limited basis. These forms of borrowings include federal funds purchased and revolving lines of credit. The Bank has a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The availability on the line of credit fluctuates depending on the level of available collateral, which includes commercial and commercial real estate loans. Availability on the line of credit at March 31, 2011, was approximately $27.9 million. Advances are made at the discretion of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
The Company also uses the brokered market as a source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2011, excluding CDARS as described above, the Company had approximately $10.1 million in brokered deposits compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 40.29%. The decrease in brokered deposits was the result of the Company not renewing the deposits as they matured during the first quarter of 2011.
As a result of an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Office of the State Banking Commissioner of Kansas, prior regulatory approval is currently required prior to the payment of dividends by the Bank. In prior years, the Company has relied on dividends from the Bank to assist

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
in making debt service and dividend payments. The Company has also agreed at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank to defer interest payments and not pay dividends on trust preferred securities or any of its equity securities without prior regulatory approval in an effort to preserve capital. As a result, the Company has deferred the quarterly payment of interest related to trust preferred securities of BVBC Capital Trust III due since March 31, 2009 and the quarterly payment of interest related to trust preferred securities of BVBC Capital Trust II due since April, 24, 2009. In addition, at the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the Company notified the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) of its intention to defer the quarterly dividend payments on the Preferred Shares since May 15, 2009. As part of the agreement with the Treasury, dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid. Failure by the Company to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. However, a failure to pay a total of six Preferred Share dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Preferred Shares the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. That right would continue until the Company pays all dividends in arrears. The dividend payment due August 15, 2010 was the sixth dividend payment deferred by the Company. At this time, the Treasury has not elected any directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors; however, they have assigned an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings. The Company has accrued for interest and the dividends and has every intention to bring the obligation current as soon as permitted. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has accrued $4.0 million for dividends and interest on outstanding trust preferred securities and Preferred Shares. There are other ancillary expenses related to the legal and accounting fees which could be incurred without the ability of the Bank to dividend to the Company. The Company currently maintains cash balances sufficient to cover such ancillary expenses for several years based on historical expense amounts.
The Company’s Asset-Liability Management Committee utilizes a variety of liquidity monitoring tools, including an asset/liability modeling software, to analyze and manage the Company’s liquidity. Management has established internal guidelines and analytical tools to measure liquid assets, alternative sources of liquidity, as well as relevant ratios concerning asset levels and purchased funds. These indicators are reported to the Bank’s Board of Directors monthly.
Capital. At March 31, 2011, our total stockholders’ equity was $56.4 million and our equity to asset ratio was 8.12%. At March 31, 2011, our Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.73% compared to 11.39% at December 31, 2010, while our total risk-based capital ratio was 13.04% compared to 12.66% at December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had capital in excess of the requirements for an “adequately-capitalized” bank holding company. At March 31, 2011, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.38% compared to 11.88% at December 31, 2010, while our total risk-based capital ratio was 13.65% compared to 13.15% at December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank had capital in excess of the requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Our funds management policy is established by our Bank Board of Directors and monitored by our Asset/Liability Management Committee. Our funds management policy sets standards within which we are expected to operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core deposits. Our funds management policy also establishes the reporting requirements to our Bank Board of Directors. Our investment policy complements our funds management policy by establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment, quality standards, and diversification. Our liquidity contingency funding plan is established by our Bank Board of Directors and monitored by our Asset/Liability Management Committee. Our liquidity contingency funding plan sets guidelines for the Company to monitor and control its liquidity position as well as ensure appropriate contingency liquidity plans are actively in place and consistent with the current and forecasted needs of the Company.
We use asset/liability modeling software to analyze the Company’s current sensitivity to instantaneous and permanent changes in interest rates. The system simulates the Company’s asset and liability base and projects future net interest income results under several interest rate assumptions. This allows management to view how changes in interest rates will affect the spread between the yield received on assets and the cost of deposits and borrowed funds.
The asset/liability modeling software is also used to analyze the net economic value of equity at risk under instantaneous shifts in interest rates. The “net economic value of equity at risk” is defined as the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities plus/minus the market value of any off-balance sheet positions. By effectively looking at the present value of all future cash flows on or off the balance sheet, the net economic value of equity modeling takes a longer-term view of interest rate risk.
We strive to maintain a position such that current changes in interest rates will not affect net interest income or the economic value of equity by more than 5%, per 50 basis points. The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in the Bank of Blue Valley’s net interest income over the next twelve month period and net economic value of equity at risk at March 31, 2011 based on the indicated instantaneous and permanent changes in interest rates.
                 
    Net Interest   Net Economic
    Income   Value of
Changes in Interest Rates   (next 12 months)   Equity at Risk
200 basis point rise
    15.86 %     (3.08 )%
100 basis point rise
    9.25 %     (2.01 )%
Base Rate Scenario
           
25 basis point decline
    (1.59 )%     .10 %
The above table indicates that, at March 31, 2011, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market rates, our net interest income would be expected to increase. This is a result of an increase in our interest-bearing demand deposit balances, specifically our Ultimate and Performance Checking accounts. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposit balances provides the Company

with greater control over the cost of its funding base and enables the Company to expand its net interest margin in an increasing rate environment. The Bank has placed floors on its loans over the last several years which would limit the decline in yield earned on the loan portfolio in a declining rate environment. Another consideration in a rising interest rate scenario is the impact of mortgage financing, which would likely decline, leading to lower loans held for sale fee income, though the impact is difficult to quantify or project. In the decreasing rate scenarios, the adjustable rate assets (loans) reprice to lower rates faster than our liabilities, but our liabilities — long-term FHLB advances and existing time deposits — would not decrease in rate as much as market rates. In addition, fixed rate loans might experience an increase in prepayments, further decreasing yields on earning assets and causing net income to decrease.
The above table also indicates that, at March 31, 2011, in the event of a sudden increase in prevailing market rates, the economic value of our equity would decrease. Given our current asset/liability position, a 100 and 200 basis point increase in interest rates will result in a lower economic value of our equity as the change in estimated gain on liabilities exceeds the change in estimated loss on assets in this interest rate scenario. Currently, under an increasing rate environment, the Company’s estimated market value of loans could decrease slightly due to fixed rate loans and investments with rates lower than market rates. These assets have a likelihood to remain until maturity in this rate environment. However, the estimated market value decrease in fixed rate loans and investment securities would be offset by time deposits unable to reprice to higher rates immediately and fixed-rate callable advances from FHLBank. The likelihood of advances being called in a rising rate environment increases resulting in advances being repriced prior to maturity. Given our current asset/liability position, a 25 basis point decline in interest rates will result in a slight increase in the economic value of our equity as the change in estimated gain on assets exceeds the change in estimated loss on liabilities in this interest rate scenario. Currently, under a falling rate environment, the Company’s estimated market value of loans could increase as a result of fixed rate loans, net of possible prepayments. However, the estimated market value increase in fixed rate loans is offset by time deposits unable to reprice to lower rates immediately and fixed-rate callable advances from FHLBank. The likelihood of advances being called in a decreasing rate environment is diminished resulting in the advances existing until final maturity, which has the effect of lowering the economic value of equity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying Officers”) have conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Certifying Officers have reviewed the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In compliance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (18 U.S.C. 1350), each of the Certifying Officers executed an Officer’s Certification included in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
