We have seen our net interest margin grow 111 basis points from 2.23% as of December 31, 2010 to 3.34% as of December 31, 2014. During that period, our net interest income has increased $2.2 million, or 14.0%, from $15.9 million to $18.2 million. 2011 2012 2013 2014 We engaged creative expertise from within and outside of our organization to refine our messaging and communications BANK EXECUTIVE TEAM Mark A.

Fleischaker Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer Executive Vice President & Chief Lending Officer Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer Senior Vice President, Operations Senior Vice President, Director of Sales & Business Development As we celebrate our 25th year of serving Kansas City and I reflect on the timeline and events highlighted in this annual report, it reminds me of all the great moments we’ve shared over the past quarter of a century. Each year brought with it new challenges and new oppor- tunities to form relationships and to better serve our customers and our community. Our strategic plan for 2014 set forth very aggressive goals for our Company, and I am pleased to report that we achieved those goals and we are well-positioned for 2015 and beyond. During 2014, we reduced our nonperforming assets by $11.2 million or 34.0%. As of December 31, 2014 our nonperforming assets accounted for only 3.4% of our total assets. We enhanced our leadership team with the promotion of several key officers and the addition of significant talent to both our Company’s and our Bank’s Board of Directors. Earnings and prudent asset manage- ment have enabled us to continue the expansion of our Bank’s excess regulatory capital. Since 2011, we have expanded our Bank’s excess regulatory capital by $8.8 million or 54.4%. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $25.1 million of capital in excess of what is required to be considered “Well Capitalized” by regulatory standards. The Bank’s total regulatory capital as of December 31, 2014 exceeded $75.4 million which puts us in a good position going forward. ROBERT D.

As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $25.1 million of capital in excess of what is required to be considered “Well Capitalized” by regulatory standards. The Bank’s total regulatory capital as of December 31, 2014 exceeded $75.4 million which puts us in a good position going forward. From our very first day, we've aspired to give back to the community that has fostered our success, and 2014 was no exception. Last year, the Bank and our employees donated more than $288,000 to a variety of community causes, charities, and non-profits. It is important for our Company to embody a strong philanthropic presence because of the important role we play in helping the community grow and prosper. This is why we are proud to have given over $3 million to nearly 600 local non-profits over the past 25 years. to clarify our brand and our identity — those tangible I have always believed that if we create a better environment Inclusive of this growth, the mix of our deposit portfolio as of promotion of Steve Fleischaker, a fourteen-year employee, and intangible qualities that set us apart from other organiza- for our customers and community members, business will December 31, 2014 is reflective of the diverse composition to Senior Vice President and Director of Sales and Business tions.

Overland Park, Kansas We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Blue Valley Ban Corp., which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Valley Ban Corp. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ BKD, LLP Kansas City, Missouri March 20, 2015 F-2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders Blue Valley Ban Corp.

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Valley Ban Corp. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ BKD, LLP Kansas City, Missouri March 28, 2014 F-3 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations The Company is a holding company for Bank of Blue Valley (the “Bank”), BVBC Capital Trust II and BVBC Capital Trust III, through 100% ownership of each. The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and mortgage services to consumer and commercial customers in Johnson County, Kansas. The Bank also originates residential mortgages locally and nationwide through its InternetMortgage.com website. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is also subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory authorities. BVBC Capital Trust II and III are Delaware business trusts created in 2003 and 2005, respectively, to offer trust preferred securities and to purchase the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The Trusts have terms of 30 years, but may dissolve earlier as provided in their trust agreements. Operating Segment The Company provides community banking services through its subsidiary bank, including such products and services as loans; time deposits, checking and savings accounts, mortgage originations, trust services, and investment services. These activities are reported as a single operating segment. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blue Valley Ban Corp. and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale, and valuation of deferred tax assets are adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, foreclosed assets held for sale and deferred tax assets, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revision of these estimates in future years. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale and deferred tax assets. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additional losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. F-11 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Evaluation of Subsequent Events Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards In January, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 clarifies that an insubstance foreclosure, repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon foreclosure or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the borrower’s obligation for the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar agreement. Additional disclosures are required. ASU 2014-4 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provided guidance applicable to contracts with customers so that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For financial institutions, significant changes are not expected because most financial instruments are not in the scope of the Update. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s interest-bearing cash accounts exceeded the $250,000 FDIC insurance limits by approximately $83,000 at December 31, 2014. The Bank had no required reserve at December 31, 2014. The deposit balance held at the Federal Reserve Bank on December 31, 2014 was $42,109,000. F-12 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Investment in Securities Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell, but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of related income tax effects, in accumulated other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income using a method which approximates the level-yield method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains and losses, based on amortized cost of the specific security, are recorded on trade date and included in non-interest income. Interest on investments in debt securities is included in income when earned. For debt securities with fair value below amortized cost for which the Company does not intend to sell the debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of the debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections. The Company did not have any securities with other-than- temporary impairment at December 31, 2014. For equity securities, when the Company has decided to sell an impaired available-for-sale security and the entity does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover before the expected time of sale, the security is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired in the period in which the decision to sell is made. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary even if a decision to sell has not been made. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized gains and losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to non-interest income. Gains and losses, net of discounts collected or paid, commitment fees paid and considering a normal servicing rate are recognized in non-interest income upon sale of the loan. Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loans recorded at amortized cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized over the respective term of the loan. Generally, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due and interest is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual term of the loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed when loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off, which reduces interest income. The interest on these loans is generally accounted for on a cash-basis or a cost recovery method, until conditions qualify the loan’s return to accrual status. 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. F-13 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is management's estimate of probable losses which have occurred as of the balance sheet date based on management's evaluation of risk in the loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in consideration of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The Company computes its allowance by assigning specific reserves to impaired loans, and then applies general reserve factors to the rest of the loan portfolio. The general reserve covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge off experience, expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process and current and projected economic conditions and factors. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of collateral securing the loan if the loan is collateral dependent. Premises and Equipment Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. The estimated useful lives for each major depreciable classification of premises and equipment are as follows: Buildings and improvements Furniture and equipment 35-40 years 3-10 years F-14 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at 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 costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are reported as other income and foreclosed assets expense. FHLBank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Other Securities FHLBank and Federal Reserve Bank stock are required investments for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve systems. The required investment in the stock is based on a predetermined formula, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment. Derivatives Derivatives are recognized as assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value. Derivative Loan Commitments Mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of a mortgage that will be held for sale upon funding are considered derivative instruments under the derivatives and hedging accounting guidance (ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging). Loan commitments that are derivatives are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in other income. The Company estimates the fair value using a valuation model which considers differences between quoted prices for loans with similar characteristics in the secondary market and the committed rates. Forward Loan Sale Commitments The Company carefully evaluates all loan sales agreements to determine whether they meet the definition of a derivative under the derivatives and hedging accounting guidance (ASC 815), as facts and circumstances may differ significantly. If agreements qualify, to protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company uses best efforts forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Accordingly, forward loan commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in other income. The Company estimates the fair value of its forward loan commitments using a methodology similar to that used for derivative loan commitments. Fee Income Loan origination fees, net of direct origination costs, are recognized as income using the level-yield method over the term of the loans. F-15 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company—put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets. Transfers between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (other significant observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the period end date. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a DTA will not be realized. As of September 30, 2014 and in consideration of the Company’s sustained profitability principally resulting from improved net interest income, reduced non-interest expense, and assessment of the Company’s future ability to realize its DTA, the Company recorded a recovery of its remaining $11.8 million DTA valuation allowance. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 was $11,934,000. The DTA valuation allowance had been recorded due to the Company’s losses recorded over previous years, which had resulted in uncertainty of the Company’s ability to recognize the DTA in future near term periods. Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiaries. The Company is generally not subject to federal, state and local examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2011. F-16 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities. Net unrealized gain or (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $(569,000) and $(4,139,000), respectively, at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 and 2012 financial statements to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. 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 earnings is as follows: 2014 2013 2012 (In thousands, except share and per share data) Net Income Dividends and accretion on preferred stock Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ $ 12,762 $ (1,740) 11,022 $ 1,042 $ (1,104) (62) $ 267 (1,106) (839) Average common shares outstanding Average common share stock options outstanding and restricted stock (B) 4,586,741 2,930,115 2,855,566 9,100 21,262 11,997 Average diluted common shares (B) 4,595,841 2,951,377 2,867,563 Basic income (loss) per share Diluted income (loss) per share (A) $2.40 $2.40 ($0.02) ($0.02) ($0.29) ($0.29) (A) (B) 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. Warrants to purchase 111,083 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $29.37 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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. In January, 2015, the Company repurchased the warrants for $3,000 and cancelled them. There were no stock options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively. Income available for common stockholders is reduced by dividends declared on preferred stock (whether or not they are paid) in the period in which they are declared, as well as the accretion on the warrants.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 2: AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES (Continued) Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $70,893,000 and $96,923,000, which is approximately 77.6% and 96.3%, respectively, of the Company’s available- for-sale investment portfolio. These declines in fair value resulted primarily from increases in market interest rates from the date of the acquisition of the securities. 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. Unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position are as follows: Description of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Less than 12 Months December 31, 2014 12 Months or More Total Fair Value Total Unrealized Losses (In thousands) U.S. Government sponsored agencies State and political subdivision securities U.S. Small Business Administration loan pool certificates Equity and other securities Total temporarily impaired securities $ 18,772 $ 126 $ 37,440 $ 685 $ 56,212 $ 1,275 22 8,733 – – – – 4,673 – 150 112 – 10,008 4,673 – 811 172 112 – $ 20,047 $ 148 $ 50,846 $ 947 $ 70,893 $ 1,095 Description of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Less than 12 Months December 31, 2013 12 Months or More Total Fair Value Total Unrealized Losses (In thousands) U.S. Government sponsored agencies State and political subdivision securities U.S. Government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities U.S. Small Business Administration loan pool certificates Equity and other securities Total temporarily impaired securities $ 68,313 $ 4,798 $ – $ – $ 68,313 $ 4,798 14,379 1,464 2,904 278 17,283 1,742 5,930 4,810 587 81 338 13 – – – – – – 5,930 4,810 587 81 338 13 $ 94,019 $ 6,694 $ 2,904 $ 278 $ 96,923 $ 6,972 The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies, state and political subdivision securities, U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Small Business Administration loan pool certificates were caused by changes in market interest rates from various dates of purchase. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014 or 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 3: LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued) The following table presents the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on the rating category and payment activity as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. These categories are defined as follows: Pass – loans that exhibit acceptable financial performance, cash flow, leverage and the probability of default is considered low.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 6: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company may have 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. These statements require 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 no change in other assets or other liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 $37,000 and a decrease in other income of $37,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a decrease in other assets of $144,000 and a decrease in other income of $144,000. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to $0 and $216,000, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, related forward commitments to sell mortgage loans amounted to approximately $588,000 and $1,438,000, respectively. The balance of derivative instruments related to commitments to originate and sell loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, is disclosed in Note 20, Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. NOTE 7: INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS Interest-bearing time deposits in denominations in excess of $250,000 were $19,811,000 on December 31, 2014 and $18,377,000 on December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, brokered deposits of $27,670,000 and $28,060,000, respectively, were included in the Company’s time deposit balance. Of the $27,670,000 in brokered deposits at December 31, 2014, $17,540,000 represented customer funds placed into the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”). The Bank is a member of the CDARS service which effectively allows depositors to receive FDIC insurance on amounts greater than the FDIC insurance limit, which is currently $250,000. CDARS allows the Bank to break large deposits into smaller amounts and place them in a network of other CDARS institutions to ensure that full FDIC insurance coverage is gained on the entire deposit. Although classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purposes, funds placed through the CDARS program are Bank customer relationships that management views as core funding.

Under the governing documents of our Subordinated Debentures issued by BVBC Capital Trust II and III, the quarterly payments since April 24, 2009 for BVBC Capital Trust II and since March 31, 2009 for BVBC Capital Trust III had been deferred through December 30, 2013. 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. The Company received regulatory approval and utilized the proceeds from the December 23, 2013 initial close of our Common Stock Rights Offering to bring current all previously accrued and unpaid dividends and interest on our Subordinated Debentures issued by BVBC Capital Trust II and III prior to December 31, 2013. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company received approval for the Bank to pay dividends to the Company to pay amounts needed to pay quarterly dividends due in March and April, 2014 for our Subordinated Debentures. For both BVBC Capital Trust II and BVBC Capital Trust III, during a deferral period, 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 Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”), or (ii) making any payment on any debt security that is ranked pari passu with the debt securities issued by the respective trusts.

During the time that the Preferred Shares are outstanding, a number of restrictions apply to the Company, including, among others: • • • • The Preferred Shares have a senior rank. The Company is not free to issue other preferred stock that is senior to the Preferred Shares. If the Company were to pay a cash dividend in the future, any such dividend would have to be discontinued if a Preferred Share dividend were missed. Thereafter, dividends on common stock could be resumed only if all Preferred Share dividends in arrears were paid. Similar restrictions apply to the Company’s ability to repurchase common stock if Preferred Share dividends are missed. Failure to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. The Company’s preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital in accordance with regulatory capital requirements. The Preferred Shares included ten year warrants to purchase 111,083 shares of the Company’s common stock for $29.37 per share which were retained by the Treasury subsequent to the October, 2013 auction. In January, 2015, the Company repurchased the warrants for $3,000 and cancelled them. NOTE 13: REGULATORY MATTERS The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these consolidated financial statements. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had capital in excess of regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized institution. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk- based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2014 that management believes have changed the Bank’s position. F-34 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 13: REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued) As a result of a 2012 regulatory examination, which noted the improved financial condition of the Company and the Bank, satisfactory risk management processes, and senior management oversight, as well as full compliance with all actionable provisions of a November 4, 2009 Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (“FRB”), the FRB terminated the Written Agreement and, effective January 11, 2013, replaced it with a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”). The MOU’s purpose was to maintain the financial soundness of the Company and the Bank, and provided, among other things, the Company and the Bank would continue to work on improvement of asset quality, maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, maintain adequate capital, improve earnings, and not declare or pay any dividends or increase or guarantee any debt without prior written approval from the FRB and the Office of the State Banking Commissioner of Kansas (“OSBC”). As a result of a 2014 regulatory examination, which noted the improved financial condition of the Company and the Bank, satisfactory risk management processes, and senior management oversight, as well as full compliance with all actionable provisions of the MOU, the FRB terminated the July 11, 2013 MOU and, effective February 12, 2015, replaced it with an MOU requiring FRB approval for the Company to declare or pay dividends, pay interest on its trust preferred securities or receive dividends from the Bank. Consequently, under the terms of the February 12, 2015 MOU, the Bank is no longer subject to a regulatory agreement. At the request of the FRB, the Company had deferred the payment of quarterly dividends on the Preferred Shares since May 15, 2009. The Preferred Shares carried a 5% per year cumulative preferred dividend rate, payable quarterly. The dividend rate increased to 9% beginning with the May 15, 2014 quarterly payment, which caused the Company’s quarterly dividend to increase from $271,875 to $489,375. Dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid; however, failure by the Company to pay the preferred share dividend is not an event of default. The Company paid the quarterly dividend and accrued interest expense for the quarters ending August 15, 2014 and November 15, 2014, and the Company had accrued for all other deferred dividends declared and compounded interest through December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had accrued $6.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for dividends and interest on the Preferred Shares. NOTE 14: TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had loans outstanding to executive officers, directors and to companies in which the Company’s and Bank’s executive officers or directors were principal owners, in the amount of $19,011,000 and $17,066,000, respectively. Annual activity consisted of the following: (In thousands) Balance, beginning of year New loans and advances Repayments and reclassifications Balance, end of year 2014 2013 $ 17,066 15,033 (13,088) $ 19,011 $ 13,632 14,144 (10,710) $ 17,066 These loans and other extensions of credit were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, when originated, these loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Deposits from executive officers and directors held by the Company at December 31, 2014, and 2013 totaled $4,824,000 and $4,501,000, respectively. F-36 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 15: PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLANS The Company’s profit sharing and 401(k) plans cover substantially all employees. Contributions to the profit sharing plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors, and participant interests are vested over a five-year period. The Company did not make a contribution to the profit sharing plan during 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s 401(k) plan permits participants to make contributions by salary reduction, based on which the Company matches 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s contribution plus 50% of the next 2% of compensation contributed by the employee. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) plan are vested immediately. The Company’s matching contributions charged to expense for 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $268,000, $281,000 and $234,000, respectively. NOTE 16: EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION The Company has an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Company to issue equity incentive compensation awards to its employees and directors in the forms of stock options, restricted shares or deferred share units. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 20,230 shares available to be granted (options granted prior to 1998 were subject to an earlier plan with similar terms). The exercise price of each option is intended to equal the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and maximum terms are 10 years. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted no stock options, but did grant 40,674, 44,210 and 55,155 shares of restricted common stock, respectively. All restricted stock granted in 2014, restricted stock granted in 2013 to employees and restricted stock granted in 2012 to employees other than the President vested immediately. Restricted stock granted to the President in 2012 fully vested in 2014. Restricted stock granted in 2011 to employees other than the President fully vested in the stock in 2014. Recipients of the restricted stock grant who are directors vested immediately in 2014, 2013 and 2012. The non-vested shares were 0, 11,930, and 30,730 as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cost basis of the restricted shares granted which is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, will be amortized to compensation expense ratably over the applicable vesting period. Expenses associated with restricted stock grants were $282,000, $257,000, and $295,000 for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amount of unrecognized compensation costs was $0, $23,000, and $97,000 as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. No shares were forfeited during 2014, 2013 and 2012. A summary of the status of option shares under the plan at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and changes during the years then ended, is presented below: 2014 2013 2012 Weighted Average Exercise Price Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Exercise Price Shares Shares Outstanding, beginning of year Exercised Forfeited Outstanding, end of year Intrinsic value of shares exercised $ Options exercisable, end of year – – – 0 – 0 $ $ – – – – $ 0.00 $ – – – 0 – 0 $ $ – – – – $ 0.00 10,575 – 10,575 0 – 0 $ $ 25.00 – 25.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 There were no options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 17: EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The 2004 Blue Valley Ban Corp. employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) provides the right to subscribe to 100,000 shares of common stock to substantially all employees of the Company and subsidiaries, except those who are 5% or greater shareholders of the Company. The purchase price for shares under the plan is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a designated Committee thereof) and was set to 85% of the market price on either the grant date or the offering date, whichever is lower, for the plan year beginning in February 2004. Expense associated with the plan recognized in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $4,000, $4,000 and $3,000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 19: FAIR VALUE OPTION The Company elected to adopt The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which was subsequently incorporated into FASB Accounting Standards Codification in Topic 825, for mortgage loans held for sale originated after April 1, 2009. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain 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. In accordance with Topic 825, the Company has elected to measure loans held for sale at fair value. Loans held for sale is composed 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 differences between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale were gains of $13,000 at December 31, 2014, losses of $6,000 at December 31, 2013 and gains of $32,000 at December 31, 2012. Gains from fair value changes included in loans held for sale fee income were $18,000 and losses from fair value changes included in loans held for sale fee income were $38,000 and $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income on loans held for sale is included in interest and fees on loans in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. See Note 20 for additional disclosures regarding fair value of mortgage loans held for sale. NOTE 20: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Fair value is 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. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of 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. F-39 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 20: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued) Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities 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. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. 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 The fair value of commitments to originate loans and the fair value of forward sales commitments are estimated 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. Level 3 Reconciliation The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of recurring fair value measurements recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs: (In thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2013 Total realized and unrealized gains (losses): Included in net income (loss) Balance as of December 31, 2014 Balance as of December 31, 2012 Total realized and unrealized gains (losses): Included in net income (loss) Balance as of December 31, 2013 Commitments to Originate Loans Forward Sales Commitments $ $ $ $ – – – – – – $ 40 (37) $ 3 $ 184 (144) $ 40 F-41 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below. 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 estimating fair value 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 and the assets are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. F-42 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

Commitments to Originate Loans The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s commitments to originate loans are the discount rate and estimated customer fallout rate. Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, changes in either of those inputs will not affect the other input. Forward Sales Commitments The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s forward sales commitment is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in this input would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. F-43 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP.

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. FHLBank Stock, Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Other Securities The carrying amounts for these securities approximate their fair value. Deposits Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount of these deposits approximates fair value. 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. F-44 BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 20: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued) 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 the fair value of existing debt. Fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices or dealer prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market. If a quoted market price is not available, an expected present value technique is used to estimate fair value. Commitments to Extend Credit, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit The fair value of commitments to originate loans 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 are 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.

The Bank also purchases indirect leases from various leasing companies throughout Kansas and Missouri. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. The collateral securing these agreements varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans aggregating approximately $4,512,000 and $6,388,000, respectively. The commitments extend over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within a one-year period. Mortgage loans in the process of origination represent amounts that the Company plans to fund within a normal period of 60 to 90 days and which are intended for sale to investors in the secondary market. Total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to $0 and $216,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Mortgage loans in the process of origination represent commitments to originate loans at both fixed and variable rates. Mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $588,000 and $1,438,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans are obligations to sell loans at a specified price on or before a specified future date. These commitments are acquired to reduce market risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale since the Company is exposed to interest rate risk during the period between issuing a loan commitment and the sale of the loan into the secondary market. Related forward commitments to sell mortgage loans amounted to approximately $588,000 and $1,654,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company had total outstanding letters of credit amounting to $974,000 and $955,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with terms ranging from one year to three years, with the majority expiring in one year. Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. The collateral securing these agreements varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. At December 31, 2014, the Company had unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $144,574,000 for commercial, commercial real estate and construction lines and $33,153,000 for open-end consumer lines of credit. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $165,238,000 for commercial, commercial real estate and construction lines and $31,866,000 for open-end consumer lines of credit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013 AND 2012 NOTE 21: COMMITMENTS, CREDIT RISKS AND CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS (Continued) The Bank is subject to possible future repurchase and indemnification demands for future losses realized by investors for alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans previously sold to investors. The financial services industry has been materially and adversely impacted by a prolonged period of negative economic conditions, including but not limited to high levels of unemployment, declines in asset values, as well as delinquencies and defaults on loans. These defaults on loans include possible “strategic defaults” which are characterized by borrowers that appear to have the financial means to meet the debt service requirements of their loans, however, elect not to do so because the value of the assets securing their debts may have declined below the amount of the debt or in consideration of statutory restrictions which impede a lender’s ability to exercise prudent collection efforts or foreclose in an efficient manner. For the three years ending December 31, 2014, the Company has repurchased no loans from investors. Additionally, during the three years ending December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized indemnification losses and claims totaling approximately $371,000 for loans previously sold to investors. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company; however, there can be no assurance that the impact of these conditions will cease or reverse to mitigate possible risk of future potential losses by the Bank. The current economic environment continues to present financial institutions with circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large and unanticipated declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans. The financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company. Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s and Bank’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity. Furthermore, the Company’s and Bank’s regulators could require material adjustments to asset values or the allowance for loan losses for regulatory capital purposes that could affect the Company’s and Bank’s measurement of regulatory capital and compliance with the capital adequacy guidelines under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. NOTE 22: LEGAL CONTINGENCIES Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

We have seen our net interest margin grow 111 basis points from 2.23% as of December 31, 2010 to 3.34% as of December 31, 2014. During that period, our net interest income has increased $2.2 million, or 14.0%, from $15.9 million to $18.2 million. We engaged creative expertise from within and outside of our organization to refine our messaging and communications As we celebrate our 25th year of serving Kansas City and I reflect on the timeline and events highlighted in this annual report, it reminds me of all the great moments we’ve shared over the past quarter of a century. Each year brought with it new challenges and new oppor- tunities to form relationships and to better serve our customers and our community. Our strategic plan for 2014 set forth very aggressive goals for our Company, and I am pleased to report that we achieved those goals and we are well-positioned for 2015 and beyond. During 2014, we reduced our nonperforming assets by $11.2 million or 34.0%. As of December 31, 2014 our nonperforming assets accounted for only 3.4% of our total assets. We enhanced our leadership team with the promotion of several key officers and the addition of significant talent to both our Company’s and our Bank’s Board of Directors. Earnings and prudent asset manage- ment have enabled us to continue the expansion of our Bank’s excess regulatory capital. Since 2011, we have expanded our Bank’s excess regulatory capital by $8.8 million or 54.4%. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $25.1 million of capital in excess of what is required to be considered “Well Capitalized” by regulatory standards. The Bank’s total regulatory capital as of December 31, 2014 exceeded $75.4 million which puts us in a good position going forward. From our very first day, we've aspired to give back to the community that has fostered our success, and 2014 was no exception. Last year, the Bank and our employees donated more than $288,000 to a variety of community causes, charities, and non-profits. It is important for our Company to embody a strong philanthropic presence because of the important role we play in helping the community grow and prosper. This is why we are proud to have given over $3 million to nearly 600 local non-profits over the past 25 years. to clarify our brand and our identity — those tangible I have always believed that if we create a better environment Inclusive of this growth, the mix of our deposit portfolio as of promotion of Steve Fleischaker, a fourteen-year employee, and intangible qualities that set us apart from other organiza- for our customers and community members, business will December 31, 2014 is reflective of the diverse composition to Senior Vice President and Director of Sales and Business tions.
