UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations, have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented may not be indicative of the results of the full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

The Company is a multi-bank financial holding company, which offers a wide range of banking and other financial services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of the significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation is listed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Interest-bearing Due From Banks

Amounts due from the Federal Reserve Bank which are interest-bearing for all periods presented, and amounts due from certificates of deposits held at other financial institutions are included in interest-bearing due from banks. The amount due from the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $420.3 million and $806.8 million at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively, and is considered cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from certificates of deposit totaled $304.1 million and $121.5 million at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

This table provides a summary of cash and due from banks as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

Per Share Data

Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of 285,268 and 282,226 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted by the Company at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase 1,119,068 and 971,191 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” or Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS No. 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 to qualifying special-purpose entities. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 without a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” or ASC 810, which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all entities currently within the scope of FIN 46(R), as well as qualifying special-purpose entities that are currently excluded from the scope of FIN 46(R). The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 without a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU 2010-06), which amends ASC 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2010 without a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies, federal agency mortgage backed securities, and municipal securities were caused by interest rate risk. The Company does not expect any losses caused by credit risk on these securities. Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010.

8. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, futures contracts, forward foreign exchange contracts and spot foreign exchange contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total amount of these commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter-claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

9. Business Segment Reporting

The Company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments (collectively, “Business Segments”): Commercial Financial Services, Institutional Financial Services, and Personal Financial Services. The Business Segments were redefined during the first quarter of 2010 to better organize the Company’s business around customer needs. In 2009, the Business Segments were Commercial Banking and Lending, Payment and Technology Solutions, Banking Services, Consumer Services, Asset Management, and Fund Services. Business segment financial results produced by the Company’s internal management accounting system are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance for individual Business Segments. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using methodologies that are refined on an ongoing basis. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2010.

The following summaries provide information about the activities of each segment:

Commercial Financial Services resulted in combining Commercial Banking and Lending with Treasury Management (previously a component of Payment and Technology Solutions). Commercial Financial Services serves the commercial lending and leasing, capital markets, and treasury management needs of the Company’s mid-market businesses and governmental entities by offering various products and services. Such services include commercial loans, letters of credit, loan syndication services, consultative services, and a variety of financial options for companies that need non-traditional banking services. Capital markets services include asset-based financing, asset securitization, equity and mezzanine financing, factoring, private and public placement of senior debt, as well as merger and acquisition consulting. Treasury management services include depository services, account reconciliation services, electronic fund transfer services, controlled disbursements, lockbox services, and remote deposit capture services.

Institutional Financial Services is a combination of Banking Services, Fund Services, and Asset Management services provided to institutional clients. This segment also includes consumer credit card services, formerly included in Consumer Services, and commercial credit card, formerly included in Payment and Technology Solutions. Healthcare services, mutual fund cash management and international payments, previously included in Payment and Technology Solutions, are also included in this segment. Institutional Financial Services includes businesses such as the Company’s institutional investment services functions, Scout Investment Advisors, UMB Fund Services, corporate trust and escrow services as well as correspondent banking, investment banking, and UMB Healthcare Services. Products and services include bond trading transactions, cash letter collections, FiServ account processing, investment portfolio accounting and safekeeping, reporting for asset/liability management, and Fed funds transactions. UMB Fund Services provides fund administration and accounting, investor services and transfer agency, marketing and distribution, custody and alternative investment services.

Personal Financial Services combines Consumer Services and Asset Management services provided to personal clients.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis is required to be disclosed. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Short-Term Investments The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.

Securities Available for Sale Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Trading Securities Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates that are currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Debt The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term nature of their maturities.

Long-Term Debt Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Other Off-Balance Sheet Instruments The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit are determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments nor their fair values at March 31, 2010 are significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at March, 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (in millions):

Overview

The Company focuses on the following four core strategies. Management believes these strategies will continue to improve net income and strengthen the balance sheet.

The first strategy is to grow the Company’s fee-based businesses. The emphasis on fee-based operations helps reduce the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates. During the first quarter of 2010, noninterest income increased $17.5 million, or 25.4 percent, compared to the same period of 2009. The Company continues to emphasize its asset management, bankcard services, health care services, and treasury management solution businesses. In particular, during the first quarter of 2010, the increase in noninterest income is primarily attributable to increased trust and securities processing income and gains on the sales of securities available for sale. Trust and securities processing income increased $10.7 million, or 42.9 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily due to a $3.8 million, or 57.0 percent, increase in fee income from Scout Funds and a $6.5 million, or 76.8 percent, increase in fund administration and custody services. Additionally, trust and securities processing benefits from a $4.1 million increase predominately from the acquisition of J.D. Clark and Co., Inc. during 2009. Also during the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold securities available for sale at a pre-tax gain of $5.4 million.

The second strategy is a focus on net interest income through loan and deposit growth. Net interest income remained relatively flat with only a modest increase of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to one year ago. However, total deposits increased $543.7 million, or 7.1 percent, as compared to first quarter of 2009, which positions the Company well to fund customer credit needs when the demand for loans returns. Average earning assets increased by $675.9 million, or 7.1 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2009 due to the increased deposit funding. This earning asset growth was attributable to an increase of $539.2 million in interest bearing due from banks and a $183.3 million increase in total securities, including trading.

The third strategy is a focus on improving operating efficiencies. At March 31, 2010, the Company had 135 branches. Repositioning and increasing utilization of our regional distribution network remains a priority. The Company continues to emphasize increasing its primary retail customer base by providing a broad offering of services through our existing branch network. These efforts have resulted in the total deposits growth previously discussed. The Company’s efficiency ratio for the quarter was 70.6 percent. The Company continues to evaluate its cost structure for opportunities to moderate expense growth without sacrificing growth initiatives. The Company continues to find cost savings through technology solutions that improve and automate processes, such as remote deposit capture, which has already been rolled out to 62 branches thereby reducing or eliminating transportation costs for paper checks for those branches.

The fourth strategy is a focus on capital management. Specifically, the Company continues to invest in organic growth; analyze acquisition opportunities that make sense strategically, financially, operationally, and culturally; and focus on returning capital to shareholders. The Company repurchased 76,809 shares of common stock at an average price of $38.55 per share during the first quarter of 2010. The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which management believes promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. At March 31, 2010, the Company had greater than $1.0 billion in shareholders equity, which resulted in a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.64 percent, which is substantially higher than the 10 percent regulatory minimum to be considered well-capitalized.

Earnings Summary

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $26.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to $22.6 million for the same period a year earlier. This represents a 15.9 percent increase over the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. Basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 2010 were $0.65 per share ($0.65 per share fully-diluted) compared to $0.56 per share ($0.55 per share fully-diluted) for the first quarter of 2009. Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 were 0.96 and 10.25 percent, respectively, compared to 0.89 and 9.23 percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.

Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was flat compared to the same period in 2009. Average earning assets increased by $675.9 million, or 7.1 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2009. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 3.19 percent or a 20 basis point decline for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 3.39 percent for the same period in 2009.

The provision for loan losses increased by $2.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. These changes are a direct result of applying the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses. With the increased provision, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased by 32 basis points to 1.57 percent as of March 31, 2010, compared to March 31, 2009. Management calculates a range in determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. For a description of the Company’s methodology for computing the allowance for loan losses, please see the summary discussion of the Allowance for Loan Losses within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates subsection of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section on the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noninterest income increased by $17.5 million, or 25.4 percent, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period one year ago. For the three month period, the increases are primarily due to increases in trust and securities processing income and gains on the sales of securities available for sale. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Income.

Noninterest expense increased by $10.7 million, or 10.1 percent, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. For the three month period, the increases were primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and processing fees. These changes are discussed in greater detail below under Noninterest Expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is a significant source of the Company’s earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities, and the rates paid on each affect net interest income. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, net interest income was flat as compared to the same period in 2009.

Table 1 shows the impact of earning asset rate changes compared to changes in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company continues to experience a repricing of these earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the recent interest rate cycle. As illustrated on this table, net interest spread for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased by 14 basis points and net interest margin decreased by 20 basis points compared to the same period in 2009. These results are primarily due to the interest-bearing liabilities repricing slower or incrementally less than the earning assets. The increase of $498.4 million from noninterest-bearing demand deposits, as compared to the first quarter of 2009, continues to be a positive impact. However, with the rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreasing to 0.59 percent as compared to 0.87 percent one year ago, the contribution from free funds is diminished. For the impact of the contribution from free funds, see the Analysis of Net Interest Margin within Table 2 below. Table 2 also illustrates how the changes in volume and rates have resulted in the flattening of net interest income.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) represents management’s judgment of the losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. An analysis is performed quarterly to determine the appropriate balance of the ALL. This analysis considers items such as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, migration analysis, current economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration and other factors. This analysis is performed separately for each bank as regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis. After the balance sheet analysis is performed for the ALL, the provision for loan losses is computed as the amount required to adjust the ALL to the appropriate level.

Table of Contents

Based on the factors above, management of the Company expensed $8.3 million related to the provision for loan losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2009. As illustrated in Table 3 below, the ALL increased to 1.57 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2010, compared to 1.25 percent of total loans as of the same period in 2009.

Table 3 presents a summary of the Company’s ALL for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net charge-offs were $5.0 million for the first three months of 2010, compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2009. See “Credit Risk Management” under “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report for information relating to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, restructured loans and other credit risk matters.

Noninterest Income

A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to enhance profitability and provide steady income. Fee-based services are typically non-credit related and not generally affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

The Company’s fee-based services provide the opportunity to offer multiple products and services, which management believes will more closely align the customer with the Company. The Company is currently emphasizing fee-based services including trust and securities processing, bankcard, brokerage, health care services, and treasury management. Management believes it can offer these products and services both efficiently and profitably, as most share common platforms and support structures.

Fee-based, or noninterest income (summarized in Table 4), increased by $17.5 million, or 25.4 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Table 4 above summarizes the components of noninterest income and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Trust and securities processing consists of fees earned on personal and corporate trust accounts, custody of securities, trust investments and money management services, and servicing of mutual fund assets. The increase in these fees compared to the same period last year was primarily attributable to a $6.5 million, or 76.8 percent, increase in fund administration and custody services and a $3.8 million, or 57.0 percent, increase in fee income from the Scout Funds. Trust and securities processing fees are asset-based. As such, they are highly correlated to the change in market value of the assets. Thus, the related income for the remainder of the year will be affected by changes in the securities markets. Management continues to emphasize sales of services to both new and existing clients as well as increasing and improving the distribution channels which lead to increased inflows into the Scout Funds.

Trading and investment banking fees increased $2.2 million, or 44.6 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period one year ago.

In the first quarter of 2010, $5.4 million in pre-tax gains were recognized on the sales of securities available for sale. These sales are part of an objective to monitor and control the Company’s interest rate sensitivity in an anticipated rising interest rate environment.

Noninterest expense increased by $10.7 million, or 10.1 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Table 5 above summarizes the components of noninterest expense and the respective year-over-year comparison for each category.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $4.3 million, or 7.3 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. These increases are primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in salaries, a $2.1 million increase in commissions and bonuses, and a $1.0 million increase in medical insurance for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These increases are directly correlated to the financial performance during 2009 and the hiring of strategic personnel throughout the organization.

Processing fees increased $4.0 million, or 57.5 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. These increases are due to increased third-party custodian fees related to international transactions from mutual fund clients and fees paid by the advisor to third-party distributors of the Scout Funds.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate is 28.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 28.2 percent for the same period in 2009.

Commercial Financial Services’ net income before taxes decreased $2.7 million to $14.8 million compared to 2009. The decrease in net income was driven primarily by an increase in noninterest expense of $2.7 million, or 10.9 percent, and an increase in provision for loan losses of $0.7 million, or 34.6 percent. Noninterest expense increased due to higher allocated overhead costs compared to 2009. The increase in provision expense over 2009 was due to adequately provide for the inherent risk in the loan portfolio. Loan balances in this segment were flat compared to 2009 while deposits increased by $319.7 million. Net interest income was flat compared to the same period in 2009. The net margin on commercial loans widened by approximately 70 basis points from increasing interest yields and a decrease to the funds transfer pricing charge on loans. The combined funds transfer pricing credit on deposits and repurchase agreements in the segment decreased over the same period in 2009 by approximately 73 basis points due to the continued low rate environment. These movements on loans, deposits, and repurchase agreements offset each other resulting in the overall net interest margin to be flat. Management anticipates a slowly recovering economic environment during the remainder of 2010 with little movement in interest rates and net income growth to be at a measured pace.

Institutional Financial Services’ net income before taxes decreased $2.4 million to $12.1 million from the same period in 2009. Noninterest income increased $11.9 million, offset by a $9.9 million increase in noninterest expense and a $3.3 million decrease in net interest income. Noninterest income increased due to a $5.1 million increase in advisory fees associated with the Scout Funds and a $6.5 million increase in fund administration and custody services income. Scout Fund fee income increased due to inflows of $1.3 billion for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and the positive upswing in overall stock market prices over last year. Fee income from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. was a primary driver in the increase in fund administration and custody services income compared to 2009. Noninterest expense increased primarily from third party custodial fees related to international transactions from mutual fund clients increasing $1.9 million and a $2.3 million increase in third party fees paid by the advisor to distributors of the Scout Funds. The other driver was an increase in salaries and benefits of $5.1 million due to increased commission expense related to the increased revenue in this segment as well as the addition of base salary expenses from the acquisition of J.D. Clark & Co., Inc. Net interest income decreased due to decreased funds transfer pricing on deposits in this segment.

Personal Financial Services’ net income before taxes increased by $4.4 million to $5.9 million compared to 2009. Several drivers contributed to this increase. Earning asset balances have decreased, but the rate of the decrease has slowed in 2010 as the indirect automobile portfolio runoff is slowing. This is offset by the growth in the home equity loan portfolio. Net interest margin increased $3.3 million, or 14.8 percent, over 2009 due to decreased funds transfer pricing costs on assets and an increased funds transfer pricing on deposits in this segment. The deposit balances have also increased in this segment compared to 2009. Noninterest income decreased $0.8 million, or 3.6 percent, from 2009. This decrease was due to a reduction in deposit service charges as a result of changes in consumer behavior, a reduction of third party revenue sharing streams as off-balance sheet balances are not as valuable in the current rate environment, and lower annuity and brokerage sales. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in trust fee income. Noninterest expense decreased $2.4 million, or 5.4 percent, over 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in salaries and benefits expenses and decreased allocated overhead expenses.

Table of Contents

The net income before tax for the Treasury and Other Adjustments category was $3.8 million for the first three months of 2010, compared to a net loss before tax of $2.1 million for the same period in 2009. The primary driver of this category is security gains. There were $5.4 million of gains in 2010 compared to $0.4 million in 2009.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets of the Company decreased $939.3 million as of March 31, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009 and increased $477.2 million, or 4.7 percent, compared to March 31, 2009. The increase in total assets from March 2009 to March 2010 is a result of increased investment securities balances of $668.9 million, or 16.4 percent offset by a decrease in interest-bearing due from banks of $204.0 million or 22.0 percent. The overall increase in total assets is directly related to a corresponding increase in deposit balances between the same periods of $543.7 million, or 7.1 percent. The decrease in total assets from December to March is primarily a result of the cyclical trend due to the pledging and collateral required related to seasonal public fund deposits.

Total deposits and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase also declined at March 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009. Deposits declined by $314.0 million, or 3.7 percent, from December to March and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased by $616.3 million, or 32.0 percent, from December to March. This decline in deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase is primarily driven by increased seasonal public fund tax deposits, because such tax deposits are generally higher around the end of the calendar year.

Loans

Loans represent the Company’s largest source of interest income. In addition to growing the commercial loan portfolio, management believes its middle market commercial business and its consumer business, including home equity and credit card loan products, are the market niches that represent its best opportunity to cross-sell fee-related services.

Total loan balances have remained flat at $4.3 billion at March 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Compared to December 31, 2009, commercial loans decreased 1.0 percent and consumer loans decreased 6.5 percent, offset by an increase of 2.5 percent in real estate loans. Compared to March 31, 2009, commercial loans decreased 5.7 percent and consumer loans decreased 20.2 percent, offset by an increase in real estate loans of 13.2 percent. The increase in real estate loans is driven by home equity loans. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company made the decision to phase out its indirect loan portfolio. This is part of an objective to enhance asset yields. The Company will continue to service existing loans until maturity or payoff.

Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans are discussed under “Credit Risk Management” within “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this report.

Securities

The Company’s security portfolio provides liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities. This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. In addition to providing a potential source of liquidity, the security portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company’s goal in the management of its security portfolio is to maximize return within the Company’s parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company maintains strong liquidity levels while investing in only high-grade securities. The security portfolio generates the Company’s second largest component of interest income.

Investment securities totaled $4.9 billion at March 31, 2010, compared to $4.2 billion at March 31, 2009, and $5.0 billion at December 31, 2009. Management expects collateral pledging requirements for public funds, loan demand, and deposit funding to be the primary factors impacting changes in the level of security holdings. Investment securities comprised 49.3 percent, 46.9 percent, and 44.2 percent, respectively, of the earning assets as of March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009. There were $3.4 billion of these securities pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law at March 31, 2010.

Investment securities had an average tax-equivalent yield of 3.02 percent for the first three months of 2010 compared to 3.58 percent for the same period in 2009, or a decrease of 56 basis points. The average life of the securities portfolio was 23.5 months at March 31, 2010 compared to 22.9 months at December 31, 2009 and 20.3 months at March 31, 2009. The increase in average life from March 31, 2009 was related to an increase in the percentage of investments invested in the core portfolio due to excess liquidity being retained in the continued low rate environment. The average life increased slightly compared to December 31, 2009, due to the seasonal deposits run off during the first half of the year. There is an increase in public fund deposits and repurchase agreements at December 31, 2009, as governmental units receive tax dollars. The Company generally offsets these short-term public fund deposits with short-term investments, such as short-term agencies and reverse repurchase agreements. These short term securities mature as the seasonal deposits run off.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits decreased $314.0 million, or 3.7 percent, from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and increased $543.7 million from March 31, 2009. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $58.7 million and interest-bearing deposits decreased $275.6 million from December 31, 2009. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $102.4 million and interest-bearing deposits increased $441.3 million from March 31, 2009. The increase in deposits from March 31, 2009 came primarily from our public funds, mutual fund processing and treasury management businesses, and time deposit accounts.

Deposits represent the Company’s primary funding source for its asset base. In addition to the core deposits garnered by the Company’s retail branch structure, the Company continues to focus on its cash management services, as well as its trust and mutual fund servicing segments, in order to attract and retain additional core deposits. Management believes a strong core deposit composition is one of the Company’s key competencies given its competitive product mix.

Borrowed funds decreased $625.2 million from December 31, 2009. Borrowed funds are typically higher at year end due to repurchase agreements related to public funds. Borrowings, other than repurchase agreements, are a function of the source and use of funds and will fluctuate to cover short term gaps in funding.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $1.3 billion at March 31, 2010, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2009. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer for securities by the Company under an agreement to repurchase the same issues at an agreed-upon price and date.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company’s ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity, however, bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher expenses for extended liability maturities. The Company manages capital for each subsidiary based upon the subsidiary’s respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.

Total shareholders’ equity was $1.0 billion at March 31, 2010, a $13.9 million increase compared to December 31, 2009. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized, at its April 27, 2010, April 22, 2009 and April 22, 2008 meetings, the repurchase of up to two million shares of the Company’s common stock during the twelve months following the meetings. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company acquired 76,809 shares and 341,664 shares under the 2009 and 2008 plans, respectively, of its common stock. The Company has not made any purchases other than through these plans.

On April 27, 2010, the Board of Directors also declared a dividend of $0.185 per share. The dividend will be paid on July 1, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 11, 2010.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution’s assets. A financial institution’s total capital is required to equal at least 8 percent of risk-weighted assets. At least half of that 8 percent must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company’s high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.51 percent and total capital ratio of 14.64 percent substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the recorded estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of critical accounting policies is listed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange prices, commodity prices or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than trading.

The Company is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates of its assets held for purposes other than trading. The following discussion of interest rate risk, however, combines instruments held for trading and instruments held for purposes other than trading, because the instruments held for trading represent such a small portion of the Company’s portfolio that the interest rate risk associated with them is immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk

In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. To minimize the effect of interest rate changes to net interest income and exposure levels to economic losses, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management within guidelines established by its Funds Management Committee (“FMC”) and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The FMC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with asset/liability management policies, including interest rate exposure. The Company’s primary method for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk is the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. The Company also uses a Net Portfolio Value model to measure market value risk under various rate change scenarios and a gap analysis to measure maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time. On a limited basis, the Company uses hedges or swaps to manage interest rate risk by using futures contracts on certain loans and trading securities.

Overall, the Company manages interest rate risk by positioning the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, remaining mindful of the relationship among profitability, liquidity, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Net Interest Income Modeling

The Company’s primary interest rate risk tool, the Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis, measures interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net interest margin. This analysis incorporates substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities together with forecasted changes in the balance sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net interest income of a 200 basis point upward or downward gradual change of market interest rates over a one year period. Assumptions are made to project rates for new loans and deposits based on historical analysis, management outlook, and repricing strategies. Asset prepayments and other market risks are developed from industry estimates of prepayment speeds and other market changes. Since the results of these simulations can be significantly influenced by assumptions utilized, management evaluates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in assumptions.

Table 9 shows the net interest income increase or decrease over the next twelve months as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 based on hypothetical changes in interest rates.

The Company is sensitive at March 31, 2010, to decreases in rates. A decrease in interest rates is projected to cause a decrease in net interest income. Increases in interest rates are projected to cause increases in net interest income. The exposure to decreasing rates is larger than that of 2009, as interest rates have remained at historically low levels, in some cases close to zero. As a result, a large portion of the Company’s liabilities have reached in effect a floor, while various asset yields continue to reprice lower. For projected increases in rates, net interest income is projected to increase due to the Company having a greater percentage of interest income from investment securities and due to interest expense not increasing as rapidly related to changes in sensitivity assumptions on deposits with no stated maturity. Nevertheless, the Company is positioned in the current low rate environment to be relatively neutral to further interest rate changes over the next twelve months.

Repricing Mismatch Analysis

The Company also evaluates its interest rate sensitivity position in an attempt to maintain a balance between the amount of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are expected to mature or reprice at any point in time. While a traditional repricing mismatch analysis (“gap analysis”) provides a snapshot of interest rate risk, it does not take into consideration that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not in fact reprice at the same time or the same degree. Also, it does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income.

Trading Account

The Company’s subsidiary UMB Bank, n.a. carries taxable government securities in a trading account that is maintained according to a board-approved policy and relevant procedures. The policy limits the amount and type of securities that UMB Bank, n.a. can carry in the trading account and also required that UMB Bank, n.a. comply with any limits under applicable law and regulations. The policy also mandates the use of a value at risk methodology to manage price volatility risks within financial parameters. The risk associated with carrying trading securities is offset by the sale of exchange traded futures contracts, with both the trading account and futures contracts marked to market daily. This account had a balance of $34.9 million as of March 31, 2010 compared to $38.2 million as of December 31, 2009.

The Manager of the Investment Banking Division of UMB Bank, n.a. presents documentation of the methodology used in determining value at risk at least annually to the Board for approval in compliance with OCC Banking Circular 277, Risk Management of Financial Derivatives, and other banking laws and regulations. The aggregate value at risk is reviewed quarterly. The aggregate value at risk in the trading account was insignificant as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Other Market Risk

The Company does not have material commodity price risks or derivative risks. The Company does have minimal foreign currency risk as a result of foreign exchange contracts. See Note 8 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk represents the risk that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk is inherent in the financial services business and results from extending credit to customers. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, the Company centrally reviews loan requests to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards. The Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the affiliate banks. This review team performs periodic examinations of each bank’s loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authority of each affiliate bank also reviews loan portfolios.

A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans increased $10.8 million to $25.4 million at March 31, 2010, compared to March 31, 2009 and increased $2.1 million, compared to December 31, 2009. This increase is related to the downgrade of a large syndicated credit combined with the general effects of the downturn in the economy

The Company had $5.8 and $1.9 million of other real estate owned as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, compared to $5.2 million as of December 31, 2009. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $7.7 million as of March 31, 2010, compared to $6.7 million at March 31, 2009 and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower’s ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash.

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. The Company had $2.0 million of restructured loans at March 31, 2010, $0.1 million at March 31, 2009 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2009.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments and maturity of assets, which include $4.7 billion of high-quality securities available for sale. Investment securities with a market value of $3.4 billion at March 31, 2010 were pledged to secure U.S. Government deposits, other public deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and certain trust deposits as required by law. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company’s subsidiary banks has been core deposits. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management believes it can raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.

The Company also has other commercial commitments that may impact liquidity. These commitments include unused commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and commercial letters of credit. The total amount of these commercial commitments at March 31, 2010 was $3.4 billion. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total amount of these commercial commitments does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

The Company’s cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from subsidiary banks traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be sufficient in the future. The Company’s subsidiary banks are subject to various rules regarding payment of dividends to the Company. For the most part, all banks can pay dividends at least equal to their current year’s earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. From time to time, approvals have been requested to allow a subsidiary bank to pay a dividend in excess of its current earnings.

Operational Risk

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from the Company’s operations, including those operations performed for the Company by third parties. This would include but is not limited to the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees or others, errors relating to transaction processing, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and unplanned interruptions in service. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal or regulatory actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency, or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards. Included in the legal and regulatory issues with which the Company must comply are a number of imposed rules resulting from the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Company operates in many markets and places reliance on the ability of its employees and systems to properly process a high number of transactions. In the event of a breakdown in the internal control systems, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation. In order to address this risk, management maintains a system of internal controls with the objective of providing proper transaction authorization and execution, safeguarding of assets from misuse or theft, and ensuring the reliability of financial and other data.

The Company maintains systems of controls that provide management with timely and accurate information about the Company’s operations. These systems have been designed to manage operational risk at appropriate levels given the Company’s financial strength, the environment in which it operates, and considering factors such as competition and regulation. The Company has also established procedures that are designed to ensure that policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed on a uniform basis. In certain cases, the Company has experienced losses from operational risk. Such losses have included the effects of operational errors that the Company has discovered and included as expense in the statement of income. While there can be no assurance that the Company will not suffer such losses in the future, management continually monitors and works to improve its internal controls, systems and corporate-wide processes and procedures.
