Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2011, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011, 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, 2010.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (“Southwest”), its wholly owned financial institution subsidiaries, Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”) and Bank of Kansas, and SNB Capital Corporation, a lending and loan workout subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts on the statement of financial condition and statement of cash flows to conform to current year presentation.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, Subsequent Events, Southwest has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.
