As a Maryland corporation, the Company is authorized to engage in any activity that is permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and is not prohibited by law or regulatory policy. The Company currently conducts its business as a financial holding company. Through the financial holding company structure, it is possible to expand the size and scope of the financial services offered by the Company beyond those offered by the Bank. The financial holding company structure provides the Company with greater flexibility than the Bank has to diversify its business activities, through existing or newly formed subsidiaries, or through acquisitions of or mergers with other financial institutions as well as other companies. At December 31, 2012, Bancorp's consolidated assets were $3.96 billion, consolidated net loans were $2.32 billion, consolidated deposits were $3.15 billion and consolidated total stockholders' equity was $370 million. For details about the Company’s assets, revenues and profits for each of the last five fiscal years, see Item 6. “Selected Consolidated Financial Data.” The assets of the Company consist primarily of the stock of Great Southern, available-for-sale securities, minority interests in a local trust company and a merchant banking company and cash.

Great Southern was formed as a Missouri-chartered mutual savings and loan association in 1923, and, in 1989, converted to a Missouri-chartered stock savings and loan association. In 1994, Great Southern changed to a federal savings bank charter and then, on June 30, 1998, changed to a Missouri-chartered trust company (the equivalent of a commercial bank charter). Headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, Great Southern offers a broad range of banking services through its 107 banking centers located in southern and central Missouri; the Kansas City, Missouri area; the St. Louis, Missouri area; eastern Kansas; northwestern Arkansas; eastern Nebraska, the Minneapolis, Minnesota area and western and central Iowa. The size and complexity of the Bank’s operations increased substantially in 2009 with the completion of two Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-assisted transactions, and again in 2011 and 2012 with the completion of another FDIC-assisted transaction in each year. In 2009, the Bank entered into two separate purchase and assumption agreements including loss sharing with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits (excluding brokered deposits) and certain liabilities and acquire certain assets of TeamBank, N.A. and Vantus Bank. The two FDIC-assisted transactions involving TeamBank N.A. and Vantus Bank consisted of assets with a fair value of approximately $628.2 million (approximately 17.3% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition) and $294.2 million (approximately 8.8% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition), respectively, and liabilities with a fair value of $610.2 million (approximately 16.8% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition) and $440.0 million (approximately 13.2% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition), respectively. They also resulted in gains of $43.9 million and $45.9 million, respectively, which were included in Noninterest Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2009. Prior to these acquisitions, the Company operated banking centers in Missouri with loan production offices in Arkansas and Kansas. These acquisitions added 31 new banking centers and expanded our footprint to cover five states – Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Nebraska. In 2011, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement including loss sharing with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain liabilities and acquire certain assets of Sun Security Bank. The FDIC-assisted transaction involving Sun Security Bank consisted of assets with a

fair value of approximately $248.9 million (approximately 8.1% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition) and liabilities with a fair value of $345.8 million (approximately 10.1% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition). It also resulted in a gain of $16.5 million which was included in Noninterest Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2011. In 2012, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement including loss sharing with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Inter Savings Bank, FSB (“InterBank”). The FDIC-assisted transaction involving InterBank consisted of assets with a fair value of approximately $364.2 million (approximately 9.4% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition) and liabilities with a fair value of approximately $458.7 million (approximately $11.9% of the Company’s total assets at acquisition). It also resulted in a gain of $31.3 million which was included in Noninterest Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2012. The acquisition added four new banking centers in the Minneapolis metropolitan area.

The loss sharing agreements related to the FDIC-assisted transactions added to the complexity of our operations by creating the need for new employees and processes to ensure compliance with the loss sharing agreements and the collection of problem assets acquired. See Note 4 included in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Information” for a more detailed discussion of these FDIC-assisted transactions and the loss sharing agreements. At December 31, 2012, the Bank had total assets of $3.95 billion, net loans of $2.32 billion, deposits of $3.18 billion and stockholders' equity of $375.3 million, or 9.5% of total assets. Its deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") to the maximum levels permitted by the FDIC.

For many years, Great Southern has followed a strategy of emphasizing loan origination through residential, commercial and consumer lending activities in its market areas. The goal of this strategy is to be one of the leading providers of financial services in its market areas, while simultaneously diversifying assets and reducing interest rate risk by originating and holding adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, primarily with terms of five years or less, in its portfolio and by selling longer-term fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans in the secondary market. The Bank continues to place primary emphasis on residential mortgage and other real estate lending while also expanding and increasing its originations of commercial business and consumer loans.

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, (i) expected cost savings, synergies and other benefits from the Company’s merger and acquisition activities, including but not limited to the recently completed FDIC-assisted transactions involving Sun Security Bank and InterBank, might not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, the possibility that the amount of the gain the Company ultimately recognizes from the InterBank transaction will be materially different from the preliminary gain recorded, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; (ii) changes in economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas; (iii) fluctuations in interest rates; (iv) the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; (v) the possibility of other-than-temporary impairments of securities held in the Company’s securities portfolio; (vi) the Company’s ability to access cost-effective funding; (vii) fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; (viii) demand for loans and deposits in the Company’s market areas; (ix) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect the Company’s business, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its implementing regulations, and the overdraft protection regulations and customers’ responses thereto; (x) monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; (xi) results of examinations of the Company and Great Southern by their regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among other things, require the Company to increase its allowance for loan losses or to write-down assets; (xii) the uncertainties arising from the Company’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”), including uncertainties concerning the potential future redemption by us of the U.S. Treasury’s preferred stock investment under the program, including the timing of, regulatory approvals for, and conditions placed upon, any such redemption; (xiii) costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; and (xiv) competition. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above and other risks described from time to time in the company’s filings with the SEC could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

During 2012, the Company added a total of five banking centers to its network and began operating in its sixth state – Minnesota. Four banking centers were added in the Minneapolis metropolitan area through the Company’s FDIC-assisted acquisition of Maple-Grove, Minn.-based InterBank. Also, a de novo full-service banking center was opened in O'Fallon, Mo., a community in the St. Louis area. In addition in 2012, the Company replaced four banking centers with new locations - one in Olathe, Kan., two in Springfield, Mo., and one in Greenfield, Mo. - with each providing better service and access for customers. At the end of 2012, the Company operated 107 full-service banking centers serving more than 135,000 households in six states – Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska.

Great Southern’s largest concentration of loans and deposits is in the Springfield, Mo., area. In the last several years, the Company’s loan and deposit portfolios have become more diversified because of its participation in four FDIC-assisted acquisitions and some organic growth. The FDIC-assisted acquisitions significantly expanded the Company’s geographic footprint, which prior to 2009 was primarily in southwest and central Missouri, by adding operations in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska. Besides the Springfield market area, the Company has loan and deposit concentrations in the Kansas City and St. Louis metropolitan markets, the Branson, Mo. area, the northwest Arkansas region, the Sioux City and Des Moines, Iowa, markets and the Minneapolis metropolitan area. Loans and deposits are also generated in banking centers in rural markets in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s total loan portfolio balance, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, was $1.9 billion. Geographically, the loan portfolio consists of loans collateralized by property (real estate and other assets) located in the following regions (including loan balance and percentage of total loans): Springfield ($438 million, 24%); St. Louis ($390 million, 21%); Branson ($141 million, 8%); Kansas City ($137 million, 7%); Northwest Arkansas ($81 million, 4%); other Missouri regions ($203 million, 11%), and other states and regions ($475 million, 25%). The Company’s net book balance of its portfolio of loans covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements was $524 million as of December 31, 2012. The FDIC loss sharing agreements, which were a part of two FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009, one FDIC-assisted transaction completed in 2011, and one FDIC-assisted transaction completed in 2012, provide the Company at least 80% protection against losses on the loans in this portfolio. The FDIC loss sharing agreements are subject to limitations on the types of losses covered and the length of time losses are covered and are conditioned upon the Bank complying with its requirements in the agreements with the FDIC. These limitations are described in detail in Note 4 of the accompanying audited financial statements, see Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Information". Geographically, the total loan portfolio covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements consists of loans collateralized by property (real estate and other assets) located in the following regions (including gross loan balance and percentage of total loans): Minneapolis ($339 million, 50%); St. Louis ($68 million, 10%); Kansas City ($42 million, 6%); Sioux City, Iowa ($36 million, 5%); other Missouri regions ($61 million, 9%), Springfield, Mo. ($4 million, 1%); and other regions ($124 million, 19%).

According to the January 16, 2013, Federal Reserve Beige Book, general economic activity in the Company’s geographic footprint expanded rather modestly from the Federal Reserve’s prior report on November 28, 2012. The study indicated that many contacts expected that growth in 2013 would match or outperform 2012, but some remained more cautious than others, citing the impact of continued uncertainty over federal fiscal policy on the near-term economic outlook. Loan demand remained generally sluggish according to reports from the Federal Reserve Districts that govern the Company’s geographic footprint, but the Kansas City district reported strong demand for both residential and commercial real estate loans. Residential real estate markets showed some improvement across all Districts. Commercial construction was described as improving and commercial real estate activity increased in many markets. Home sales generally increased from the last reporting period. Unemployment in each of Great Southern’s major market areas was below the national unemployment rate of 7.9% (as of January 2013), except for the Branson micropolitan statistical area, which was above the national rate at 8.3%.

From its beginnings in 1923 through the early 1980s, Great Southern primarily made long-term, fixed-rate residential real estate loans that it retained in its loan portfolio. Beginning in the early 1980s, Great Southern increased its efforts to originate short-term and adjustable-rate loans. Beginning in the mid-1980s, Great Southern increased its efforts to originate commercial real estate and other residential loans, primarily with adjustable rates or shorter-term fixed rates. In addition, some competitor banking organizations merged with larger institutions and changed their business practices or moved operations away from the Springfield, Mo. area, and others consolidated operations from the Springfield, Mo. area to larger cities. This provided Great Southern expanded opportunities in residential and commercial real estate lending as well as in the origination of commercial business and consumer loans, primarily in indirect automobile lending.

One of the principal historical lending activities of Great Southern is the origination of fixed and adjustable-rate conventional residential real estate loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance owner-occupied homes. Great Southern originates a variety of conventional, residential real estate mortgage loans, principally in compliance with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae standards for resale in the secondary market. Great Southern promptly sells most of the fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that it originates. To date, Great Southern has not experienced difficulties selling these loans in the secondary market and has had minimal requests for repurchase. Depending on market conditions, the ongoing servicing of these loans is at times retained by Great Southern, but generally servicing is released to the purchaser of the loan. Great Southern retains substantially all of the adjustable-rate mortgage loans that it originates in its portfolio.

Another principal lending activity of Great Southern is the origination of commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial construction loans. Since the early 1990s, commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial construction loans have represented the largest percentage of the loan portfolio. Since the economic recession beginning in 2008, the commercial real estate and multi-family portfolios have exhibited slow growth while commercial construction lending has declined significantly. At December 31, 2012, commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial construction loans accounted for approximately 29%, 11% and 8%, respectively, of the total portfolio, excluding those commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial construction loans covered by loss sharing agreements. Of the portfolio of loans covered by loss sharing agreements, commercial real estate loans (net of fair value discounts) accounted for approximately 5% of the total portfolio at December 31, 2012.

The percentage of collateral value Great Southern will loan on real estate and other property varies based on factors including, but not limited to, the type of property and its location and the borrower's credit history. As a general rule, Great Southern will loan up to 95% of the appraised value on single-family properties and up to 90% on two- to four-family residential property. Typically, private mortgage insurance is required for loan amounts above the 80% level. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, loans secured by second liens on residential properties were $195.9 million, or 7.7%, and $50.9 million, or 2.2%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio. A large portion of this increase is attributable to loans acquired in the InterBank transaction. For commercial real estate and other residential real property loans, Great Southern may loan up to 85% of the appraised value. The origination of loans secured by other property is considered and determined on an individual basis by management with the assistance of any industry guides and other information which may be available. Collateral values are reappraised or reassessed as loans are renewed or when significant events indicating potential impairment occur. On a quarterly basis, management reviews impaired loans to determine whether updated appraisals or reassessments are necessary based on loan performance, collateral type and guarantor support. While it is not specifically required by our policy, we seek to obtain cross-collateralization of loans to a borrower when it is available and it is most frequently done on commercial loans.

Bank involved in lending activities. All loans, regardless of size or type, are required to conform to certain minimum underwriting standards to assure portfolio quality. These standards and procedures include, but are not limited to, an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, repayment ability, verification of liquid assets and credit history as required by loan type. It has been, and continues to be, our practice to verify information from potential borrowers regarding assets, income or payment ability and credit ratings as applicable and as required by the authority approving the loan. Underwriting standards also include loan-to-value ratios which vary depending on collateral type, debt service coverage ratios or debt payment to income ratios, where applicable, credit histories, use of guaranties and other recommended terms relating to equity requirements, amortization, and maturity. Generally, deviations from approved underwriting standards can only be waived when doing so is not in violation of regulations or statutes and when appropriate lending authority is obtained. The loan committee reviews all new loan originations in excess of lender approval authorities. For loans originated and held, most lenders have approval authorities of $250,000 or below while nine senior lenders have approval authority of varying amounts up to $1 million. Lender approval authorities are also subject to loans-to-one borrower limits of $500,000 or below for most lenders and of varying amounts up to $3 million for nine senior lenders. These standards, as well as our collateral requirements, have not significantly changed in recent years. However, the Bank has changed the composition of its loan portfolio in response to economic conditions to reduce risk using strategies such as limiting lending on construction and land development loan types.

In general, state banking laws restrict loans to a single borrower and related entities to no more than 25% of a bank's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, plus an additional 10% if the loan is collateralized by certain readily marketable collateral. (Real estate is not included in the definition of "readily marketable collateral.") As computed on the basis of the Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus at December 31, 2012, this limit was approximately $98.6 million. See "Government Supervision and Regulation." At December 31, 2012, the Bank was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limit. At December 31, 2012, the Bank's largest relationship for purposes of this limit totaled $34.4 million. All loans included in this relationship were current at December 31, 2012. Our policy does not set a loans-to-one borrower limit that is below the legal limits described; however, we do recognize the need to limit credit risk to any one borrower or group of related borrowers upon consideration of various risk factors. Extensions of credit to borrowers whose past due loans were charged-off or whose loans are classified as substandard require appropriate lending approval for total credit relationships of $250,000 or less or Loan Committee or Special Assets Committee approval on total credit relationships over $250,000.

Although Great Southern is permitted under applicable regulations to originate or purchase loans and loan participations secured by real estate located in any part of the United States, the Bank has historically concentrated its lending efforts in the Missouri and northern Arkansas markets, with its largest concentration of total loans in the Springield MSA, which accounts for 24% of total loans; the Branson MSA, which accounts for 8% of total loans, the St. Louis MSA, which accounts for 25% of total loans, and the northwestern Arkansas MSA, which accounts for 5% of total loans. As a result of the acquisitions in 2009, 2011 and 2012, the Bank has diversified its loan portfolio with additional loans in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, with its largest concentrations in Sioux City MSA, which accounts for 3% of the loan portfolio, the Des Moines MSA, which accounts for 2% of the loan portfolio, the Kansas City MSA, which account for 10% of the loan portfolio, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA, which accounts for 18% of the loan portfolio. In addition, the Bank has made loans, secured primarily by commercial real estate, in other states, primarily Texas, Colorado and Oklahoma. At December 31, 2012, loans in these states comprised 3%, 3% and 2%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Bank acquired loans through two FDIC-assisted transactions involving TeamBank, N.A., a full service commercial bank headquartered in Paola, Kansas, and Vantus Bank, a full service thrift headquartered in Sioux City, Iowa. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Bank acquired loans through an FDIC-assisted transaction involving Sun Security Bank, a full service commercial bank headquartered in Ellington, Missouri. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank acquired loans through an FDIC-assisted transaction involving Inter Savings Bank (InterBank), a full service commercial bank headquartered in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The loans acquired are covered by loss sharing agreements between the FDIC and the Bank which afford the Bank at least 80% protection from potential principal losses. Because of these loss sharing agreements, the composition of the loans acquired from the former TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank loans is shown below in tables separate from the legacy Great Southern portfolio. These loans were initially recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date and are recorded by the Company at their discounted value.

(1) Total commercial real estate loans included industrial revenue bonds of $373,000 and $574,000, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Through December 31, 2012, gross loan balances (due from the borrower) related to TeamBank were reduced approximately $349.5 million since the transaction date because of $215.9 million of principal repayments, $59.0 million of transfers to foreclosed assets and $74.6 million of charge-downs to customer loan balances. Gross loan balances (due from the borrower) related to Vantus Bank were reduced approximately $227.6 million since the transaction date because of $185.9 million of principal repayments, $15.0 million of transfers to foreclosed assets and $26.7 million of charge-downs to customer loan balances. Gross loan balances (due from the borrower) related to Sun Security Bank were reduced approximately $107.5 million since the transaction date because of $69.0 million of principal repayments, $18.0 million of transfers to foreclosed assets and $20.5 million of charge-offs to customer loan balances. Gross loan balances (due from the borrower) related to InterBank were reduced approximately $36.4 million since the transaction date because of $26.7 million of principal repayments and $9.7 million of charge-offs to customer loan balances. Based upon the collectability analyses performed during the acquisitions, we expected certain levels of foreclosures and charge-offs and actual results through December 31, 2012, related to TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank portfolios, have been better than our expectations. As a result, cash flows expected to be received from the acquired loan pools have increased, resulting in adjustments that were made to the related accretable yield which are discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying audited financial statements, which are included in Item 8 of this Report.
