Blue Valley Ban Corp. Reports First Quarter 2007 Earnings

Overland Park, Kansas, April 27, 2007 — Blue Valley Ban Corp. (OTCBB: BVBC) (“the Company”) today announced net income of $1.2 million, or fully-diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.48 for the first quarter of 2007, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.55 per share for the same period in 2006.

As announced previously, we completed the purchase of Unison Bancorp, and its subsidiary, Western National Bank, and successfully merged that operation into the Bank of Blue Valley during the quarter. Additionally, we realigned our checking and money market products and introduced an exciting new deposit product called Performance Checking. “Although these activities negatively impacted first quarter financial results, these activities have better positioned the Company for the future” said Robert D. Regnier, Chairman and CEO of Blue Valley Ban Corp.

Operating Results

During the first quarter of 2007, net interest income increased 2.4% to $6.8 million compared to $6.6 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to expansion of our net interest margin resulting from higher interest rates. Noninterest income remained virtually unchanged at $2.0 million for both this period and the prior year period. Noninterest expense also remained virtually unchanged at $6.6 million during this period compared to $6.4 million in the prior year period.

Total assets, loans and deposits at March 31, 2007 were $739.9 million, $559.0 million and $580.9 million, respectively, compared to $705.7 million, $529.0 million and $532.1 million one year earlier, respectively, increases of 4.8%, 5.7%, and 9.2%, respectively.
