Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, shareholders’ equity, cash flows, and comprehensive income in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. Those adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”), its wholly owned financial institution subsidiaries, the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), Bank of Kansas (“SNB Kansas”), and its management consulting subsidiaries, Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 3: RECLASSIFICATIONS
Amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation.
NOTE 4: ACQUISITION
On July 27, 2007, Southwest acquired all of the assets and liabilities of SNB Kansas in a stock acquisition for cash consideration of $15.6 million. SNB Kansas was a privately held bank which operated two banking offices in the Hutchinson, Kansas area. The acquisition of SNB Kansas is part of Southwest’s announced community banking strategy.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change based on the final determination of fair value.

The results of operations of SNB Kansas since the acquisition are included in the financial statements within this document. Proforma information of SNB Kansas on the financial condition and results of operations since the beginning of the period is not material.
Core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) are amortized using an economic life method based on deposit attrition. As a result, amortization will decline over time with most of the amortization occurring during the initial years. The weighted average amortization period for core deposit intangibles related to the SNB Kansas acquisition is approximately ten years.
Southwest applied the guidance required under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-3”). This guidance addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows from loans or securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 is applicable to loans and debt securities acquired individually, in pools or as a part of a business combination. It is not applicable to loans originated by the lender. The yield that may be accreted to income is limited to the excess of estimated undiscounted cash flows over the investor’s investment in the asset. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows should be recognized prospectively through a yield adjustment. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits the carry-over or creation of valuation allowances related to acquired assets, including assets acquired in a business combination that have evidence of deterioration since origination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Southwest does not anticipate any material differences in contractual cash flows and expected cash flows.

Southwest evaluates securities on an individual basis for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of Southwest to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Because the declines in fair value noted in the table above were attributable to increases in interest rates and not attributable to credit quality, and because Southwest has the ability and intent to hold all of these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, the impairment of these investments is not deemed to be other-than-temporary.
NOTE 6: LOANS AND OTHER REAL ESTATE
Southwest extends commercial and consumer credit primarily to customers in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. Its commercial lending operations are concentrated in the Oklahoma City, Stillwater, and Tulsa areas of Oklahoma; in the Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas of Texas; and in the Hutchinson, Kansas City, and Wichita areas of Kansas. As a result, the collectibility of Southwest’s loan portfolio can be affected by changes in the economic conditions in these three states and in those metropolitan areas. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, substantially all of Southwest’s loans were collateralized with real estate, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other assets, or were guaranteed by agencies of the United States government or, in the case of private student loans, insured by a private insurer.
As of September 30, 2007, approximately $547.2 million, or 28%, of Southwest’s loan portfolio consisted of loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare industry. Southwest does not have any other concentrations of loans to individuals or businesses involved in a single industry totaling 5% or more of total loans.
Nonperforming assets and other risk elements of the loan portfolio are shown below as of the indicated dates. Total nonaccrual loans decreased $444,000 from December 31, 2006, and total nonperforming loans decreased $263,000. Total nonperforming assets of $30.7 million (which includes other real estate owned) decreased $482,000 from year-end 2006.

All of the nonaccruing assets are subject to regular tests for impairment as part of Southwest’s allowance for loan losses methodology (see Note 7).
During the first nine months of 2007, $4,000 of interest income was received on nonaccruing loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, additional total interest income of $1.1 million would have been recorded.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan amounts which are determined to be uncollectible are charged against this allowance, and recoveries, if any, are added to the allowance. The appropriate amount of the allowance is based on continuous review and evaluation

11


Table of Contents

of the loan portfolio and ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio using a systematic methodology. Southwest’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes determination of a formula allowance, specific allowances, and an unallocated allowance.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to corresponding categories of outstanding loans and leases. Loss factors generally are based on Southwest’s historical loss experience in the various portfolio categories over the prior eighteen months or twelve months, but may be adjusted for categories where eighteen and twelve month loss experience is historically unusual. The use of these loss factors is intended to reduce the differences between estimated losses inherent in the portfolio and observed losses. Formula allowances also are established for loans that do not have specific allowances according to the application of credit risk factors. These factors are set by management to reflect its assessment of the relative level of risk inherent in each credit grade.
Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to individual loans that management believes indicate the probability that losses may be incurred in an amount different from the amounts determined by application of the formula allowance. Specific allowances include amounts related to loans that are identified for evaluation of impairment. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Southwest will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance for loan losses related to loans that are evaluated for impairment is based either on the discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, including mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. All of Southwest’s nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired loans.
The unallocated allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of various factors that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. These factors may include general economic and business conditions affecting lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio categories, recent loss experience in particular loan categories, duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results, findings of internal credit examiners, and management’s judgment with respect to various and other conditions including credit administration and management and the quality of risk identification systems. Management reviews these conditions quarterly.
There were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance during the first nine months of 2007. Southwest determined the level of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2007 was appropriate, based on that methodology.
Management strives to carefully monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming. At any time, however, there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses to Southwest, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the unexpected deterioration of one or a few such loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming assets, and may lead to a material increase in charge-offs and the provision for loan losses in future periods.
The reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $2.7 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and September 30, 2006, respectively. The reserve, which is included in other liabilities on Southwest’s statement of financial condition, is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for loan losses, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment.
NOTE 8: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Fair Value Hedges
Southwest uses interest rate swaps in order to offset changes in fair value of fixed rate deposits that occur during periods of interest rate volatility. Southwest is able to demonstrate an effective hedging relationship between derivatives and matched items by proving that their changes in fair values substantially offset. Southwest enters

Table of Contents

into interest rate swap agreements with the objective of converting the fixed interest rate on retail brokered CDs to a variable interest rate. The swap agreements require Southwest to pay a variable rate of interest based on a spread to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and to receive a fixed rate of interest equal to that of the retail brokered CD (hedged item). Under the swap agreements, Southwest is to pay variable interest payments on a monthly basis; fixed interest payments are to be received on the maturity date of the swap agreement, except for agreements that pay semi-annually. Amounts to be paid or received under these swap agreements are accounted for on an accrual basis and recorded as an adjustment of interest expense of the hedged item. The net cash flows related to fair value hedges increased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $113,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. All of the interest rate swaps outstanding at September 30, 2007 will expire within a twelve month period.
The following table provides information on Southwest’s derivative portfolio as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Gross unrealized losses on derivatives are included in other liabilities.

Southwest is exposed to credit risk on derivative instruments if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the contract. Southwest manages credit risk through the use of comprehensive credit approval processes, the selection of only creditworthy counterparties, and effective collateral administration. The amount of credit exposure is limited to the net interest receivable and the fair market value of the derivative contracts in gain positions reduced by the value of any collateral pledged by the counterparty. As of September 30, 2007, the net credit exposure associated with derivative instruments totaled $5.6 million. The maximum net exposure to any one counterparty is $3.6 million. The notional amount of the swap position at September 30, 2007 is with two counterparties.
NOTE 9: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Plans”) provide directors and selected key employees with the opportunity to acquire common stock through grants of options exercisable for common stock and other stock based awards.
Stock Options
The exercise price of all stock options granted under the Stock Plans is the fair market value on the grant date. Depending upon terms of the stock option agreements, stock options generally become exercisable on an annual basis and expire from five to ten years after the date of grant.

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), Southwest recorded $622,000 of share-based compensation expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 related to outstanding stock options.
The share-based compensation is calculated using the accrual method, which treats each vesting tranche as a separate award and amortizes expense evenly from grant date to vest date. This charge had no impact on Southwest’s reported cash flows. The deferred tax asset that was recorded related to this compensation expense was approximately $165,000.
For purposes of the disclosure in the following table and for purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS No. 123(R), Southwest has computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and has applied the assumptions set forth in the table. Southwest will continue to monitor the actual expected term of stock options and will adjust the expected term used in the valuation process when the difference is determined to be significant.

As of September 30, 2007, there was $378,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option arrangements granted under the Stock Plans. This unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized during the next 2.25 years.
Restricted Stock
In March 2005, January 2006, and January 2007, nonemployee directors were awarded shares in restricted common shares (28,110 total shares) at grant date fair values of $19.75, $21.725, and $26.985, respectively. In March 2007, an employee was awarded 4,868 shares in restricted stock at grant date fair value of $26.395. During the first nine months of 2007, $101,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded related to all restricted shares outstanding and is included in the compensation expense amounts for 2007; $73,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded in the first nine months of 2006.
The restricted stock grants vest one-third on the first, second and third annual anniversaries of the date of grant provided the director or employee remains a director or employee of Southwest or a subsidiary on those dates. The restrictions on the shares expire three years after the award date. Southwest will continue to recognize compensation expense over the restricted periods.
NOTE 10: TAXES ON INCOME
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, was adopted on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation No. 48, Southwest recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $803,000 as a decrease in retained earnings. Including the cumulative effect adjustment, at the beginning of 2007, Southwest had approximately $1.8 million (net of federal benefit on state issues) of total unrecognized tax benefits. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007 was $2.5 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), that if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in any future periods.
Southwest recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. As of date of adoption, Southwest had accrued $562,000 in interest and penalties. For the first three quarters of the year, an additional $237,000 has been accrued in interest and penalties.
Southwest or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, Southwest is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2002.
Southwest is currently under audit by the State of Oklahoma for the 2002 tax year. It is likely that the examination phase of the audit will conclude in the next twelve months, and it is possible that a reduction in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur; however, quantification of an estimated range cannot be made at this time.
NOTE 11: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential

NOTE 12: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, Southwest makes use of a number of different financial instruments to help meet the financial needs of its customers. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these transactions are not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are referred to as off-balance sheet instruments. These transactions and activities include commitments to extend lines of commercial and real estate mortgage credit, and standby and commercial letters of credit.
The following table provides a summary of Southwest’s off-balance sheet financial instruments:
                 
    For the nine   For the
    months ended   year ended
(Dollars in thousands)   September 30, 2007   December 31, 2006
 
Commitments to extend commercial and real estate mortgage credit
  $ 804,776     $ 572,182  
Standby and commercial letters of credit
    17,433       12,215  
 
Total
  $ 822,209     $ 584,397  
 
A loan commitment is a binding contract to lend up to a maximum amount for a specified period of time provided there is no violation of any financial, economic, or other terms of the contract. A standby letter of credit obligates Southwest to honor a financial commitment to a third party should Southwest’s customer fail to perform. Many loan commitments and most standby letters of credit expire unfunded, and, therefore, total commitments do not represent future funding obligations of Southwest. Loan commitments and letters of credit are made under normal credit terms, including interest rates and collateral prevailing at the time, and usually require the payment of a fee by the customer. Commercial letters of credit are commitments generally issued to finance the movement of goods between buyers and sellers. Southwest’s exposure to credit loss, assuming commitments are funded, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Southwest does not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments.
NOTE 13: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Southwest operates four principal segments: Oklahoma Banking, Other States Banking, Secondary Market, and Other Operations. The Oklahoma Banking segment consists of three operating units that provide lending and deposit services to customers in the state of Oklahoma. The Other States Banking segment consists of several operating units that provide lending and deposit services to the customers in the states of Texas and Kansas, and other markets outside Southwest’s primary territory. The Secondary Market segment consists of two operating units: one that provides student lending services to post-secondary students in Oklahoma and several other states and the other that provides residential mortgage lending services to customers in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. Other Operations includes Southwest’s fund management unit.
The primary purpose of the fund management unit is to manage Southwest’s overall liquidity needs and interest rate risk. Each segment borrows funds from and provides funds to the fund management unit as needed to support its operations. The value of funds provided and cost of funds borrowed from the funds management unit by each segment are internally priced at rates that approximate market rates for funds with similar duration.
The Other Operations segment also includes SNB Investor Services and nonbank cash machine operations; these operations are discussed more fully in the 2006 Annual Report.

16


Table of Contents

Southwest identifies reportable segments by type of service provided and geographic location. Operating results are adjusted for intercompany loan participations and borrowings, allocated service costs, and management fees.
The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Southwest. Expenses for consolidated back-office operations are allocated to operating segments based on estimated uses of those services. General overhead expenses such as executive administration, accounting, and internal audit are allocated based on the direct expense and/or deposit and loan volumes of the operating segment. Income tax expense for the operating segments is calculated essentially at statutory rates. The Other Operations segment records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, capital is assigned and the credit allocated to each of the segments rather than remaining in the Other Operating Segment. The amounts for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2006 have been restated using the capital pricing methodology. Capital is assigned to each of the segments using a risk-based capital pricing methodology that assigns capital ratios by asset, deposit, or revenue category based on Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk and Liquidity Risk.
By including capital as a funding component, each operating segment’s performance is more accurately reported leaving fewer unallocated dollars in the fund management unit.
The following table summarizes financial results by operating segment:

NOTE 14: ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies only to fair value measurements that are already required or permitted by other generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 also nullifies EITF guidance that prohibited recognition of gains or losses at inception of derivative transactions whose fair value is estimated by modeling. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be independent, knowledgeable buyers and sellers transacting business in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Management continues to evaluate the impact and anticipates the adoption of the statement effective January 1, 2008.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new

election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Management continues to evaluate the impact and anticipates the adoption of the statement effective January 1, 2008.
NOTE 15: CASH RECEIVABLE
Southwest previously disclosed that in December 2006 an armored transportation company failed to deliver to Stillwater National approximately $1.3 million in cash then due to it from certain ATMs owned by Cash Source, Inc. (“CSI”), a subsidiary of Stillwater National. CSI discovered other cash shortages arising from the same armored transportation company and Stillwater National removed all cash from the other CSI ATMs for which that company provided cash transportation. Earlier this year, Southwest determined that the maximum total potential cash receivable was $2.5 million.
Stillwater National and CSI have filed legal action against the armored transportation company, its owners and others for the recovery of their funds and damages, have notified law enforcement and bank regulatory authorities and their insurers, and continue to pursue means of recovery. Southwest has estimated the amount of the loss to be the total amount of the receivable and has recorded a complete write-off of that amount as reflected in the financial statements for the first quarter of 2007. This amount does not reflect any potential recoveries or insurance proceeds. The financial statements also reflect related legal expenses incurred by Southwest in the first nine months of approximately $720,000. Southwest continues to vigorously pursue its investigation and efforts to recover the missing cash or otherwise mitigate its damages. Southwest filed its proof of loss with the insurer on August 6, 2007.
NOTE 16: PARTIAL DISPOSITION OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During the second quarter of 2007, Stillwater National sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock of a public corporation. This transaction was in response to an unsolicited offer to purchase such shares received in late April 2007. Stillwater National obtained these shares in connection with the restructuring of a problem credit in October 2005. The sale of these shares resulted in a realization of a pre-tax gain of $1.9 million. Stillwater National continues to hold 868,000 shares of the public corporation’s common stock.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the notes to Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements, and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of Southwest’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; expectations regarding future financial performance of Southwest and its operating segments; assessments of loan quality, probable loan losses, and the amount and timing of loan payoffs; liquidity, contractual obligations, off-balance sheet risk, and market or interest rate risk; and statements of Southwest’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behavior, and other economic conditions; future laws, regulations, and accounting principles; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, Southwest’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.
Management’s discussion and analysis of Southwest’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Southwest’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.
GENERAL
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”) is a financial holding company for the Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), Bank of Kansas (“SNB Kansas”), Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). Through its subsidiaries, Southwest offers commercial and consumer lending, deposit and investment services, and specialized cash management, consulting and other financial services from offices in Oklahoma City, Stillwater, Tulsa, and Chickasha, Oklahoma; Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; and Hutchinson, Kansas City, and Wichita, Kansas; and on the Internet, through SNB DirectBanker®. Southwest’s banking philosophy is to provide a high level of customer service, a wide range of financial services, and products responsive to customer needs with a focus on serving healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate borrowers. This philosophy has led to the development of a line of deposit, lending, and other financial products that respond to professional and commercial customer needs for speed, efficiency, and information, and complement more traditional banking products. Such specialized financial services include integrated document imaging and cash management services designed to help our customers in the healthcare industry and other record-intensive enterprises operate more efficiently, and management consulting services through Southwest’s management consulting subsidiaries: HSSI, which serves physicians, hospitals, and healthcare groups, and BCG, which serves small and large commercial enterprises. Information regarding Southwest is available on line at www.oksb.com. Information regarding the products and services of Southwest’s financial institution subsidiaries is available on line at www.banksnb.com, www.snbwichita.com, and www.bankofkansas.com. The information on these websites is not a part of this report on form 10-Q.
Southwest’s strategic focus includes expansion in carefully selected geographic markets. This geographic expansion is based on identification of markets with concentrations of customers in Southwest’s traditional areas of expertise (healthcare and health professionals, businesses and their managers and owners, and commercial and commercial real estate lending) and makes use of traditional and specialized financial services.
Southwest’s expansion outside Oklahoma began in 2002. At September 30, 2007, these offices accounted for $985.9 million in loans (51% of portfolio loans and 49% of total loans, which include loans held for sale). During the first nine months of 2007, the offices in other states produced $6.3 million in net income (37% of the consolidated total), and $392.2 million in asset growth.
During the third quarter, Southwest completed the acquisition of the SNB Kansas, which provided two full-service banking offices in the Hutchinson, Kansas area. In the second quarter of 2006, Southwest opened a loan production office in Houston, Texas which it plans to convert it into a branch consistent with its established

20


Table of Contents

expansion strategy. In July 2006, Southwest completed the acquisition of the McMullen Bank, which added branches in San Antonio and Tilden, Texas. Southwest is actively seeking additional acquisitions consistent with its strategies, although currently it does not have any agreements or understandings to do so.
The Oklahoma Banking segment accounted for $14.2 million, or 84%, of consolidated year-to-date net income, up twenty-six percentage points from 58% for the first nine months of 2006. The increase in the segment’s net income contribution was primarily the result of a decrease in the required provision for loan losses and an increase in other income, which is partly attributable to the gain on the sale of shares of common stock acquired in connection with a debt restructuring in 2005, that were held as available for sale securities, offset by increases in other expenses and taxes on income. Outstanding loans in the Oklahoma Banking Segment totaled $947.4 million at quarter end and increased by $34.5 million, or approximately 4%, from December 31, 2006.
Southwest has a long history of student and residential mortgage lending. These operations comprise the Secondary Market business segment. During the first nine months of 2007, this segment produced $983,000 in net income. Secondary Market assets declined during the first nine months of the year because, while originations of student loans totaled $127.5 million, sales proceeds, net of gains, totaled $235.1 million resulting in a 59% reduction in the balance of loans outstanding as of September 30, 2007. This decline is consistent with Southwest’s previously announced expectations. The gain on sales of student loans for the first three quarters was $1.9 million. Loan volumes in the Secondary Market segment may vary significantly from period to period.
Southwest also conducts general consumer banking operations, and may establish or acquire additional community banking offices in selected markets.
For additional information on Southwest’s operating segments, please see Note 13, “Operating Segments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The total of net income of the segments discussed above does not equal consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2007 due to income and expenses allocated to the Other Operations segment, which provides funding and liquidity services to the rest of the organization
Southwest was organized in 1981 as the holding company for Stillwater National, which was chartered in 1894. Southwest has established and pursued a strategy of independent operation for the benefit of all of its shareholders. Southwest became a public company in late 1993 with assets of approximately $434 million. At September 30, 2007, Southwest had total assets of $2.4 billion, deposits of $1.9 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $213.8 million.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total Assets and Investment Securities
Southwest’s total assets were $2.4 billion at September 30, 2007, and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2006.
Southwest’s investment security portfolio increased $23.4 million, or 9%, from $269.8 million at December 31, 2006, to $293.2 million at September 30, 2007. The increase is primarily in U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage backed securities and tax exempt securities, which increased $6.4 million (3%), $10.3 million (42%) and $7.7 million (269%), respectively, during the first nine months of 2007.
Loans
Total loans, including loans held for sale, were $2.0 billion at September 30, 2007, a 12% increase from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2006. One-to-four family residential, real estate construction, commercial and other consumer loans increased, while commercial real estate mortgage and student loans decreased.

Subprime lending has never been a part of Southwest’s business strategy and its direct and indirect exposure to subprime loans and subprime lenders is minimal.
Management determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses using a systematic methodology. (See Note 7: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.) At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $28.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 4%, from the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006. This change is a result of growth in performing commercial and commercial real estate loans and an increase in potential problem loans offset in part by decreases in the allowance related to impaired loans and in the general allowance. The allowance was 1.41% and 1.52% of total loans at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Management believes the amount of the allowance is appropriate, given its systematic methodology for calculation. Changes in the amount of the allowance resulted from the application of that methodology, which is designed to estimate inherent losses on total loans in the portfolio, including those on nonperforming loans.
At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $28.3 million, or 97.32% of nonperforming loans, compared to $27.3 million, or 92.97% of nonperforming loans, at December 31, 2006. (See “Results of Operations-Provision for Loan Losses.”)
Performing loans considered potential problem loans (loans that are not included in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems cause management to have concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may become problems in the future) amounted to approximately $70.4 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2006. Loans may be monitored by management and reported as potential problem loans for an extended period of time during which management continues to be uncertain as to the ability of certain borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. These loans are subject to continuing management attention and are considered by management in determining the level of the allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2007, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $2.7 million, a $761,000, or 39%, increase from the amount at December 31, 2006. This change is due to an increase in commitments and the reserve on commitments related to potential problem loans.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
Southwest’s deposits were $1.9 billion at September 30, 2007, an increase of $147.1 million, or 8%, from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2006. Increases occurred in noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, money market accounts, savings accounts, and other time deposits.
The following table presents the trends in the composition of deposits at the dates indicated:

In connection with its retail certificate of deposit program, Stillwater National has substantial unused borrowing availability in the form of unsecured brokered certificate of deposits from Merrill Lynch & Co., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Wachovia Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services, Inc., RBC Dain Rauscher, Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., and CountryWide Securities. At September 30, 2007, $239.9 million in these retail certificates of deposit were included in time deposits of $100,000 or more, a decrease of $124.9 million, or 34%, from year-end 2006.
As of September 30, 2007, Stillwater National has brokered certificates of deposit issued in amounts under $100,000 totaling $388,000 which are included in other time deposits in the above table. Stillwater National had no brokered certificates of deposit under $100,000 as of year-end 2006.
Other borrowings increased $52.8 million, or 38%, to $190.8 million during the first nine months of 2007. The increase reflects the changes in the need for funding based on loan and deposit activities for the period.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased $16.3 million, or 8%, due primarily to earnings of $16.9 million for the first nine months of 2007, offset by dividends declared totaling $4.0 million. Sales of common stock through the dividend reinvestment plan, the employee stock purchase plan, and share based compensation plans, including tax benefits realized, contributed an additional $2.3 million to shareholders’ equity in the first nine months of 2007. Implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, reduced shareholders’ equity by $803,000. Net unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale investment securities (net of tax) increased to a gain of $209,000 at September 30, 2007, compared to a loss of $1.7 million at December 31, 2006.
At September 30, 2007, Southwest, Stillwater National, SNB Wichita, and SNB Kansas continued to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See “Capital Resources” on page 35.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 and 2006
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 of $5.5 million represented a decrease of $1.1 million, or 17%, from the $6.6 million earned in the third quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $0.38 compared to $0.46, a 17%

Table of Contents

decrease. The decrease in quarterly net income was the result of a $2.3 million, or 16%, increase in other expense and a $303,000, or 8%, decrease in other income offset in part by an $857,000, 29%, decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $595,000, or 15%, decrease in income taxes. The decline in general interest rates led to a slight decrease in net interest income in spite of significantly greater loan volume.
The $20,000 decrease in net interest income for the quarter was primarily the result of decreased loan yields and higher rates on interest bearing deposits. Provision for loan losses are booked in the amounts necessary to increase the allowance for loan losses to an appropriate level at period end after charge-offs for the period. The necessary provision for the third quarter 2007 was $857,000 less than the provision required for third quarter of 2006. (See Note 7: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The decrease in other income was mainly the result of decreased service charges and lower gains on the sale of loans. The increase in other expense consists of a $1.5 million increase in personnel expense, a $720,000 increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments, a $177,000 increase in general and administrative expenses offset in part by a decrease of $134,000 in other real estate expense.
On an operating segment basis, the decrease in net income was the result of a $1.3 million reduction from the Secondary Market segment, attributable to lower volumes of guaranteed student loans, and a $742,000 decrease from the Other Operations segment, offset in part by a $278,000 increase from the Oklahoma Banking segment and a $662,000 increase from the Other States Banking segment.

Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Southwest earns on its loans, investments, and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Because different types of assets and liabilities owned by Southwest may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates, net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a period, an increase of market rates of interest could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets

Table of Contents

mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income.
Yields on Southwest’s interest-earning assets decreased 19 basis points, and the rates paid on Southwest’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 16 basis points, resulting in a decrease in the interest rate spread to 3.36% for the third quarter of 2007 from 3.71% for the third quarter of 2006. During the same periods, annualized net interest margin was 4.23% and 4.47%, respectively, and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 122.61% from 120.05%.
The decrease in interest income was the result of the 19 basis point decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets, which was offset in part by the effects of a $117.6 million, or 6%, increase in average interest-earning assets. Southwest’s average loans increased $98.1 million, or 5%; however, the related yield decreased to 8.73% for the third quarter of 2007 from 8.92% in 2006. During the same period, average investment securities increased $15.0 million, or 6%, and the related yield decreased slightly to 3.93% from 3.96% in 2006.
The increase in total interest expense can be attributed to the 16 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the effects of a $59.5 million, or 3%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Although the general level of interest rates declined, rates paid on deposits increased 25 basis points as the pricing actions of competitors did not allow Southwest to reduce the rates paid on deposits. For the period, the average interest-bearing deposits increased $90.0 million, or 6%.

The decline in ATM service charges related to the substantially reduced operations of CSI. Although CSI’s ATM fees decreased from third quarter 2006, CSI did not provide a significant contribution to net income in any of the reported periods, and the reduction in its owned ATMs will not have a significant effect on future net income.
The increase in other service charges is the result of increases in commercial account service charges and overdraft fees, the increase in other customer fees is the result of increased letter of credit fees and brokerage fees, while the increase in other noninterest income is primarily the result of increased consulting income.
Gain on sales of loans is a reflection of the activity in the student, mortgage and commercial lending areas discussed elsewhere in this report.

  $ 16,162     $ 13,910     $ 2,252       16.19 %
             
Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.5 million primarily as a result of normal compensation increases, an increase in the number of employees, and recruitment expenses in connection with the market expansion. The number of full-time equivalent employees for the quarter increased from 457 at the beginning of the quarter to 484 as of September 30, 2007. For the third quarter of 2006, the number of full-time equivalent employees for the quarter increased from 409 at the beginning of the quarter to 430 as of September 30, 2006.
The unfunded loan commitment reserve increased $720,000 due to an increase both in commitments and the reserve on commitments related to potential problem loans.
Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, depository institutions in all risk categories must pay FDIC insurance premiums effective this year, but the payments otherwise due are offset by a one-time assessment credit. Southwest expects that its assessment credit will substantially offset the FDIC insurance premiums

otherwise payable for the remainder of 2007. Quarterly FDIC insurance premiums have been approximately $280,000 each for the first three quarters of 2007, before offset by the assessment credit.
FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
Net income for the first nine months of 2007 of $16.9 million represented a decrease of $2.7 million or 14%, from the $19.5 million earned in the first nine months of 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $1.15 compared to $1.35, a 15% decrease. The decline in net income was primarily the result of a $6.8 million, or 17%, increase in other expense, offset in part by a $2.9 million, or 32%, decrease in provision for loan losses and a $1.1 million, or 9%, decrease in income taxes.
On an operating segment basis, the decrease in net income was led by a $3.8 million reduction from the Secondary Market segment, attributable to decreased volume in guaranteed student loans, and a $3.1 million decrease from the Other Operations segment, primarily the result of the write-off of the cash receivable (see Note 15: “Cash Receivable” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). These decreases were partially offset by a $2.9 million increase from the Oklahoma Banking segment, which includes the $1.9 million pre-tax gain realized on the securities sale, and a $1.4 million increase from the Other States Banking segment.

Net interest income is the difference between the interest income Southwest earns on its loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Because different types of assets and liabilities owned by Southwest may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates, net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a period, an increase of market rates of interest could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income.

Yields on Southwest’s interest-earning assets increased 18 basis points, and the rates paid on Southwest’s interest-bearing liabilities increased 46 basis points, resulting in a decrease in the interest rate spread to 3.43% for the first nine months of 2007 from 3.71% for the first nine months of 2006. During the same periods, annualized net interest margin declined slightly to 4.31% from 4.39%. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 122.64% for the first nine months of 2007 from 118.96% for the first nine months of 2006.
The principal factor in the increased interest income was the 18 basis point increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the $46.5 million, or 2%, increase in average interest-earning assets. Southwest’s average loans increased $35.3 million, or 2%, and the related yield increased to 8.80% for the first nine months of 2007 from 8.58% in 2006. During the same period, average investment securities increased $7.1 million, or 3%, and the related yield increased to 4.02% from 3.98% in 2006.
The increase in total interest expense can be attributed to the 46 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which was offset in part by a $14.8 million, or less than 1% decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. Rates paid on deposits increased 53 basis points, while average deposits increased $60.1 million, or 4%.

Other customer fees increased primarily as a result of increased brokerage fees and letter of credit fees. Gain on sales of loans is a reflection of the activity in the student, mortgage and commercial lending areas as discussed elsewhere in this document.
Southwest recorded a securities gain of $1.9 million due to the sale of 1,500,000 shares of common stock of a public corporation in the second quarter of 2007, which was offset in part by a securities loss of $448,000 recorded in the first quarter due to the other than temporary impairment of certain equity securities of one issuer.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.9 million primarily as a result of normal compensation increases, incentive based accruals, an increase in the number of employees, and recruitment expenses in connection with the market expansion. The number of full-time equivalent employees for the first nine months increased from 429 at the beginning of the year to 484 as of September 30, 2007, primarily due to market expansion. For the first nine months of 2006, the number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 381 at the beginning of 2006 to 430 as of September 30, 2006.
Occupancy expense decreased due to a decrease in data processing of $371,000, decreased amortization of maintenance contracts of $237,000 and decreased depreciation of $36,000 offset in part by increases in building rental expense of $274,000 and utilities and other services of $159,000.
The unfunded loan commitment reserve increased $1.1 million due to an increase both in commitments and the reserve on commitments related to potential problem loans.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expense increased as a result of increases in professional fees of $931,000, supplies and printing of $146,000, amortization of intangibles of $151,000, charitable contributions of $79,000, and miscellaneous expense of $2.4 million, offset in part by decreased postage expense of $339,000. Approximately $3.2 million of the total increase in general and administrative expenses is the result of the write-off of $2.5 million of the cash receivable and the associated legal fees of approximately $720,000 (see Note 15: “Cash Receivable” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).
Deposit Insurance expense is expected to increase in 2008. See discussion of Other Expense for the quarter on page 28.

Provisions for Loan Losses and for Unfunded Loan Commitments
Southwest makes provisions for loan losses in amounts necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments at the levels Southwest determines are appropriate based on a systematic methodology. (See Note 7: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The allowance for loan losses of $28.3 million increased $1.0 million, or 4%, from year-end 2006. A provision for loan losses of $6.1 million was recorded in the first nine months of 2007, a decrease of $2.9 million or 32%, from the first nine months of 2006. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was the result of the calculations of the appropriate allowance at each period end using Southwest’s systematic methodology. This change in the period end allowance is the result of growth in performing commercial and commercial real estate loans and an increase in potential problem loans offset in part by decreases in the allowance related to impaired loans and in the general allowance. (See Note 7: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
At September 30, 2007, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $2.7 million, a $761,000, or 39%, increase from the amount reported at December 31, 2006. This reserve is included in other liabilities. The related provision for unfunded loan commitments is a component of general and administrative expense. (See Note 7: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments,” in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Taxes on Income
Southwest’s income tax expense was $10.6 million and $11.7 million for the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 9%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 was 38.71% while the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2006 was 37.52%.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is measured by a financial institution’s ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of highly marketable assets such as student loans, residential mortgage loans, and SBA loans, and available for sale investments. Additional sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of loans and the sale of participations in outstanding loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved through growth of deposits, reductions in liquid assets, and accessibility to the capital and money markets. These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans, and operate the organization.
Southwest, Stillwater National, SNB Wichita, and SNB Kansas have available various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management and liquidity purposes. These forms of borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Student Loan Marketing Association (“Sallie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLB”), and an unaffiliated commercial bank.

Stillwater National also carries interest-bearing demand notes issued by the U.S. Treasury in connection with the Treasury Tax and Loan note program; the outstanding balance of those notes was $1.3 million at September 30, 2007. Stillwater National has approved federal funds purchase lines totaling $370.0 million with twelve banks; $90.5 million was outstanding on these lines at September 30, 2007. Stillwater National has available a $403.1 million line of credit and SNB Wichita has a $20.3 million line of credit from the FHLB. Borrowings under the FHLB lines are secured by investment securities and loans. At September 30, 2007, the Stillwater National FHLB line of credit had an outstanding balance of $36.5 million and the SNB Wichita line of credit had no amount outstanding. Previously Stillwater National had available a line of credit from Sallie Mae, with borrowings secured by student loans. However, the Sallie Mae line expired April 30, 2007. In conjunction with the Sallie Mae consolidation loan program, a new agreement with a limit of $75 million became effective March 1, 2007. The funds borrowed through this line are exclusively to be used to fund disbursements in the consolidation loan program. As of September 30, 2007, $2.0 million had been borrowed on this line of credit.
See also “Deposits and Other Borrowings” on page 23 for funds available on brokered certificate of deposit lines of credit.
Stillwater National sells securities under agreements to repurchase with Stillwater National retaining custody of the collateral. Collateral consists of U.S. government agency obligations, which are designated as pledged with Stillwater National’s safekeeping agent. These transactions are for one to four day periods. Outstanding balances under this program were $53.0 million and $53.5 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
During the first nine months of 2007, the only categories of other borrowings whose averages exceeded 30% of ending shareholders’ equity were funds borrowed from the FHLB.

During the first nine months of 2007, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $27.0 million, or 47%, to $30.6 million. This decrease was the net result of cash used in investing activities of $296.2 million, (primarily from net loans originated and principal repayments), offset in part by cash provided from operating activities of $137.6 million, and cash provided by financing activities of $131.6 million.
During the first nine months of 2006, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $9.3 million, or 18%, to $41.0 million. This decrease was the net result of cash provided from financing activities of $2.9 million, (primarily from an increase in deposits, partially offset by a decline in borrowings) and cash provided from operating activities of $150.0 million, offset in part by cash used in net loan origination and other investing activities of $162.1 million.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The guidelines are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. At September 30, 2007, Southwest exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.77%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 10.49%, and a leverage ratio of 10.92%. As of September 30, 2007, Stillwater National, SNB Wichita, and SNB Kansas also met the criteria for classification as “well-capitalized” institutions under the prompt corrective action rules of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

Designation as a well-capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of Southwest, Stillwater National, SNB Wichita, or SNB Kansas by bank or thrift regulators.
On August 27, 2007, Southwest declared a dividend of $.0925 per common share payable on October 1, 2007 to shareholders of record as of September 17, 2007.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related unaudited consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering fluctuations in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Southwest’s net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Southwest seeks to maximize its net interest margin within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the amount of forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity.
Southwest attempts to manage interest rate risk while enhancing net interest margin by adjusting its asset/liability position. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and other interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, Southwest may determine to increase its interest rate risk position in order to increase its net interest margin. Southwest monitors interest rate risk and adjusts the composition of its rate-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates on net interest income over time. Southwest’s asset/liability committee reviews its interest rate risk position and profitability, and recommends adjustments. The asset/liability committee also reviews the securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions. Notwithstanding Southwest’s interest rate risk management activities, the actual magnitude, direction, and relationship of future interest rates are uncertain, and can have adverse effects on net income and liquidity.
A principal objective of Southwest’s asset/liability management effort is to balance the various factors that generate interest rate risk, thereby maintaining the interest rate sensitivity of Southwest within acceptable risk levels. To measure its interest rate sensitivity position, Southwest utilizes a simulation model that facilitates the forecasting of net interest income over the next twelve month period under a variety of interest rate and growth scenarios.
The earnings simulation model uses numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows, and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate the effect of rate changes on net interest income or the economic value of equity. Actual results differ from simulated results due to timing, cash flows, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.
The balance sheet is subject to quarterly testing for six alternative interest rate shock possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk. Average interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, and 300 basis points (“bp”), although Southwest may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment. It is management’s goal to structure the balance sheet so that net interest earnings at risk over a twelve-month period and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels.

Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, usually one year. They do not necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.
Estimated Changes in Net Interest Income
                                                 
 
Changes in Interest Rates:   + 300 bp   +200 bp   +100 bp   (100) bp   (200) bp   (300) bp
 
Policy Limit
    (18.00 )%     (10.00 )%     (5.00 )%     (5.00 )%     (10.00 )%     (18.00 )%
September 30, 2007
    + 9.99 %     + 4.35 %     + 0.80 %     (2.24 )%     (4.73 )%     (7.19 )%
December 31, 2006
    + 12.02 %     + 6.15 %     + 1.96 %     (2.80 )%     (6.56 )%     (11.14 )%
The Net Interest Income at Risk position improved in all decreasing interest rate scenarios when compared to the December 31, 2006 risk position. In a rising interest rate environment, Southwest’s net interest income improves in all interest rate scenarios. When the rising interest rate scenarios are compared to December 31, 2006, the percentage of increase in net interest income declined modestly in all interest rate scenarios. All of the above measures of net interest income at risk remain well within prescribed policy limits. Although assumed unlikely by Southwest’s asset/liability committee, Southwest’s largest exposure to changes in interest rate is in the (300 bp) scenario with a measure of (7.19%) at September 30, 2007, an improvement of 3.95 percentage points from the December 31, 2006 level of (11.14%). The reduction in net interest income at risk is a result of Southwest’s asset/liability committee’s efforts to improve the stability of net interest margin due to changes in interest rates.
The measures of equity value at risk indicate the ongoing economic value of Southwest by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of Southwest’s cash flows, and discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between these discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which, in theory, approximates the fair value of Southwest’s net assets.
Estimated Changes in Economic Value of Equity (EVE)
                                                 
 
Changes in Interest Rates:   +300 bp   +200 bp   +100 bp   (100) bp   (200) bp   (300) bp
 
Policy Limit
    (35.00 )%     (20.00 )%     (10.00 )%     (10.00 )%     (20.00 )%     (35.00 )%
September 30, 2007
    (11.45 )%     (6.10 )%     (2.18 )%     + 0.72 %     + 1.60 %     + 2.63 %
December 31, 2006
    (7.68 )%     (4.90 )%     (1.52 )%     + 0.97 %     + 1.40 %     + 1.10 %
As of September 30, 2007, the economic value of equity measure improved in two of the three decreasing interest rate scenarios when compared to the December 31, 2006 percentages. In an increasing interest rate environment the economic value of equity decreased in all scenarios. Southwest’s largest economic value of equity exposure is the +300 bp scenario which declined 3.77 percentage points to (11.45%) on September 30, 2007 from the December 31, 2006 value of (7.68%). The economic value of equity ratio in all scenarios remains well within Southwest’s Asset and Liability Management Policy limits.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

First Nine Months 2007 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change occurred during the first nine months of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Southwest’s internal control over financial reporting.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
None of the financial measures used in this report are defined as non-GAAP financial measures under federal securities regulations. Other banking organizations, however, may present such non-GAAP financial measures, which differ from measures based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For example, such non-GAAP measures may exclude certain income or expense items in calculating operating income or efficiency ratios, or may increase yields and margins to reflect the benefits of tax-exempt interest-earning assets. Readers of this report should be aware that non-GAAP ratios and other measures presented by some banking organizations or financial analysts may not be directly comparable to similarly named ratios or other measures used by Southwest or other banking organizations.

Item 1A: Risk Factors
In our annual report on Form 10-K we stated that we may be unable to recover $2.5 million in cash that an armored transportation company failed to deliver, and that failure to recover this cash could result in a loss to us that was not reflected in our 2006 financial statements. Due to our investigation, we recorded that loss in our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. We have not recorded an estimate of potential recoveries or insurance proceeds, however. We cannot yet reasonably estimate the amount of any such recoveries or proceeds that may ultimately result from our efforts.
There were no other material changes in risk factors during the first nine months of 2007 from those disclosed in Southwest’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
