Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and footnotes appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Pending Acquisition

On March 31, 2008 Liberty Bancorp, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire KLT Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Farley State Bank, a Missouri bank for a cash purchase price. At March 31, 2008 Farley State Bank had assets of $39.5 million, liabilities of $36.2 million and capital of $3.3 million. A regulatory application was filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") on April 4, 2008 seeking approval of the proposed acquisition. On August 7, 2008 the Company received approval for this acquisition subject to certain conditions. It is currently expected that the transaction will close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of Liberty Bancorp and the Bank. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions.

Liberty Bancorp and the Bank's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of Liberty Bancorp and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in Liberty Bancorp and the Bank's market area, changes in real estate market values in the Bank's market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and inability of third party service providers to perform.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, Liberty Bancorp does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

General

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial service needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use these funds to originate loans secured by real estate located in our market area. Our real estate loans include construction loans, commercial real estate loans and loans secured by single-family or multi-family properties. To a lesser extent, we originate consumer loans and commercial business loans. At June 30, 2008, we operated out of our main office in Liberty, Missouri and six additional retail banking facilities in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the Bank's savings accounts up to the applicable legal limits. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") and general practices accepted within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies described below as those that, due to the judgements, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our financial statements and management's discussion and analysis.

Income Recognition

We recognize interest income by methods conforming to US GAAP that include general accounting practices within the financial services industry. Interest income on loans and investment securities is recognized by methods that result in level rates of return on principal amounts outstanding, including yield adjustments resulting from the amortization of loan costs and premiums on investment securities and accretion of loan fees and discounts on investment securities.

In the event management believes collection of all or a portion of contractual interest on a loan has become doubtful, which generally occurs after the loan is 90 days past due, the accrual of interest is discontinued. In addition, previously accrued interest deemed uncollectible that was recognized in income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans is included in income only if principal recovery is reasonably assured. A nonaccrual loan is restored to accrual status when it is brought current or has performed in accordance with contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Valuation allowances are established for impaired loans for the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of collateral less estimated selling costs. We consider a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement on a timely basis. The types of loans for which impairment is measured include nonaccrual income property loans (excluding those loans included in the homogenous portfolio which are collectively reviewed for impairment), large nonaccrual single-family loans and troubled debt restructurings. Such loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the point deemed uncollectible. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase in the allowance for loan losses. See also "Asset Quality."

Allowances for loan losses are available to absorb losses incurred on loans and represent additions charged to expense, less net charge-offs. The allowances are evaluated on a regular basis by management and are based on management's periodic review of the collectibility of loans, in light of historical experience, fair value of the underlying collateral, changes in the types and mix of loans originated and prevailing economic conditions.

Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk

Our principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing our exposure to fluctuating interest rates. We have an exposure to interest rate risk. We have employed various strategies intended to minimize the adverse effect of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities.

In particular, our strategies are intended to stabilize net interest income for the long-term by protecting our interest rate spread against increases in interest rates. Such strategies include originating for portfolio adjustable-rate and short-term loans with greater interest rate sensitivities than long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. We sell fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, loan repayments by borrowers, proceeds from maturing securities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and net earnings. We have an agreement with the FHLB of Des Moines to provide cash advances, should we need additional funds for loan originations or other purposes.

Commitments to originate loans are legally binding agreements to lend to our customers. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of the borrower to a third party. The following table sets forth information regarding off-balance sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2008:
