See Note 4 - Portfolio Loans not covered by loss share and Note 5 - Portfolio Loans covered by loss share for more information.

Total deposits increased $193.0 million or 8% from June 30, 2011.

Core deposits, which exclude brokered certificates of deposit and include reciprocal CDARS deposits, decreased $99.9 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2012. Interest bearing transaction accounts decreased $89.4 million or 6%, non CDARS certificates of deposit decreased $42.5 million or 7% while noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts increased $31.8 million or 5%. Core deposits decreased $162.0 million or 6% from December 31, 2011 but increased $238.1 million or 11% from June 30, 2011. Core deposits represented 96% of total deposits at June 30, 2012, compared to 95% at December 31, 2011 and 94% at June 30, 2011.
Reciprocal CDARS certificates were $7.9 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2011and $35.3 million at June 30, 2011. Brokered certificates of deposit were $101.6 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $126.6 million at December 31, 2011 and $146.6 million at June 30, 2011.
• Asset quality - Nonperforming loans, including troubled debt restructurings were $40.6 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $41.6 million at December 31, 2011 and $43.1 million at June 30, 2011. The non performing loan additions of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 represent the lowest level of non performing loan additions in over three years. Nonperforming loans represented 2.08% of total loans excluding Covered loans at June 30, 2012 versus 2.19% at December 31, 2011 and 2.36% at June 30, 2011. Excluding non-accrual loans and Covered loans, portfolio loans that were 30-89 days delinquent at June 30, 2012 remained at very low levels, representing 0.13% of the portfolio compared to 0.36% at December 31, 2011 and 0.23% at June 30, 2011.

Provision for loan losses not covered under FDIC loss share was $75,000 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2012 was due to lower levels of loan risk rating downgrades, more favorable loss migration statistics from a year ago, and payoff of a commercial loan which carried a $1.3 million reserve. See Note 4 - Portfolio Loans not covered by loss share and Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets in this section for more information.
• Interest rate margin - The net interest rate margin was 4.81% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 4.33% for the first quarter of 2012 and 4.75% in the second quarter of 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the net interest rate margin was 4.57% compared to 4.17% for the same period in 2011. See Net Interest Income in this section for more information.

See Noninterest Income in this section for more information.

Net Interest Income

Three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) was $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $31.3 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of $3.2 million, or 10%. Total interest income increased $1.5 million and total interest expense decreased $1.7 million.

Average interest-earning assets increased $237.5 million, or 9%, to $2.9 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from $2.6 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Average loans increased $226.7 million, or 12%, to $2.2 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from $2.0 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $78.6 million of the increase is related to the increase in the Covered loans from the acquisition of The First National Bank of Olathe ("FNB") in August, 2011. Average securities and short-term investments increased $10.8 million, or 2%, to $693.5 million from the second quarter of 2011. Interest income on earning assets increased $6.6 million due to higher volume and decreased $5.1 million due to higher rates, for an increase of $1.5 million versus the second quarter of 2011.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $107.7 million, or 5%, to $2.3 billion compared to $2.2 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a $99.9 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, due to a $120.6 million increase in average money market accounts and savings accounts, and an increase of $73.2 million in interest-bearing transaction accounts, offset by a decrease of $93.9 million in certificates of deposit. For the second quarter of 2012, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased $1.6 million due to declining rates and $64,000 due to the impact of lower volumes, for a net decrease of $1.7 million versus the second quarter of 2011.

The tax-equivalent net interest rate margin was 4.81% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 4.33% for the first quarter of 2012 and 4.75% in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, the Covered loans yielded 20.15% primarily due to cash flows on paid off loans that exceeded expectations. Absent the Covered loans, and the

related nonearning assets, the net interest rate margin was 3.46% for the second quarter of 2012 compared to 3.45% for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in the net interest rate margin, excluding the effects of related nonearning assets under FDIC loss share loans, and the related funding costs, was primarily due to lower funding costs.

We expect the net interest margin to continue at 4% or more for 2012 based on a better earning asset mix, the full year impact of the FNB acquisition and continued discipline on funding costs. We expect continued volatility in the yield on Covered loans due primarily to prepayments, and possibly the quarterly remeasurement of cash flows.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) was $65.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $54.3 million for the same period of 2011, an increase of $11.1 million, or 20%. Total interest income increased $8.2 million and total interest expense decreased $2.9 million.

Average interest-earning assets increased $252.2 million, or 10%, to $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $2.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Average loans increased $224.1 million, or 11%, to $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Approximately $87.2 million of the increase is related to an increase in the Covered loans from the acquisition of FNB. Average securities and short-term investments increased $28.1 million, or 4%, to $696.7 million from the second quarter of 2011 as increased core deposits exceeded loan demand. Interest income on earning assets increased $12.4 million due to higher volume and decreased $4.2 million due to higher rates, for an increase of $8.2 million versus the second quarter of 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $134.2 million, or 6%, to $2.4 billion compared to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a $128.7 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, due to a $171.1 million increase in average money market accounts and savings accounts, an increase of $61.4 million in interest-bearing transaction accounts, offset by a decrease of $103.8 million in certificates of deposit. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.9 million due to declining rates partially offset by an increase of $8,000 due to the impact of higher volumes, for a net decrease of $2.9 million versus the same period in 2011.

The tax-equivalent net interest rate margin was 4.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 4.17% in the same period of 2011. The increase in the margin was primarily due to better earning asset mix and lower funding costs.
