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. 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 months ended March 31, 2009, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009, 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, 2008.
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, Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”) and Bank of Kansas (“SNB Kansas”), and its management consulting subsidiaries, Healthcare Strategic Support, Inc. (“HSSI”), and Business Consulting Group, Inc. (“BCG”). SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest, was merged into SNB Kansas on January 23, 2009. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 3: RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts of investment securities, other assets, and income statement accounts to conform to current year presentation. The income statement reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income.
NOTE 4: INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
The following tables present securities with gross unrealized losses and fair value by length of time that the individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Mortgage-backed securities consist of agency securities underwritten and guaranteed by Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), and Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”).
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.
The declines in fair value noted in the table above were attributable to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of 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 5: 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 Oklahoma City, Dallas, Tulsa, and its other metropolitan markets in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. As a result, the collectibility of Southwest’s loan portfolio can be affected by changes in the economic conditions in those states and markets. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2009, approximately $685.1 million, or 27%, 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 10% or more of total loans.

    3.53 %     2.80 %
 
(1)   The government-guaranteed portion of loans included in these totals was $954,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.
All of the nonaccruing assets are subject to regular tests for impairment as part of Southwest’s allowance for loan losses methodology (see Note 6).
During the first three months of 2009, no interest income was received on nonaccruing loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued for the three months ended March 31, 2009, additional total interest income of $1.3 million would have been recorded.
Included in nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2009, are three collateral dependent lending relationships with aggregate principal balances of approximately $41.0 million and related impairment reserves of $4.9 million which were established based on recent appraisal values obtained for the respective properties.

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve 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 of the loan portfolio and ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.
Management believes the level of the allowance is appropriate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan and lease losses is determined in accordance with regulatory guidelines and generally accepted accounting principles and is comprised of two primary components. Loans deemed to be impaired (all loans on nonaccrual) are evaluated on an individual basis consistent with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting for Impairment of a Loan. The remaining portion of the allowance is calculated based on SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Loans not evaluated for SFAS No. 114 allowance are segmented into loan pools by type of loan. Estimated allowances are based on historical loss trends with adjustments factored in based on qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Southwest. These factors include but are not limited to, economic and business conditions, changes in lending staff, lending policies and procedures, quality of loan review, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolios, loss and recovery trends, asset quality trends, and legal and regulatory considerations.
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 $3.8 million, $3.7 million and $3.2 million at March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2008, 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 7: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     Fair value is defined under SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In estimating fair value, Southwest utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for a valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
     
Level 1
  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities: Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
 
   
Level 2
  Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category includes U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, municipal obligation securities, and loans held for sale.
 
   
Level 3
  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes certain private equity investments, other real estate owned, goodwill, and other intangible assets.
As of March 31, 2009, assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the following table presents a reconciliation of all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). There were no changes in unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings for the period for Level 3 assets and liabilities.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans, other real estate owned, goodwill, core deposit premiums, and mortgage loan servicing rights. At March 31, 2009, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are summarized below:

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, impaired loans measured at fair value with a carrying amount of $81.8 million were written down to their fair value of $70.0 million, resulting in a life-to-date impairment of $11.8 million, of which $6.4 million was included in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
In accordance with SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, mortgage loan servicing rights were written down to their fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $279,000, which was included in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009. There is no active trading market for mortgage loan servicing rights. The fair value is estimated by calculating the present value of net servicing revenue over the anticipated life of each loan. A cash flow model is used to determine fair value. Key assumptions and estimates, including projected prepayment speeds and assumed servicing costs, earnings on escrow deposits, ancillary income, and discount rates used by this model are based on current market sources. A separate third party model is used to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults, and other relevant factors. The prepayment model is updated for changes in market conditions.

On June 26, 2003, Southwest’s subsidiary, OKSB Statutory Trust I sold to investors in a private placement $20.0 million of adjustable rate trust preferred securities (the “OKSB Trust Preferred”). The OKSB Trust Preferred bears interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.10%. In addition to these adjustable rate securities, OKSB Statutory Trust I sold $0.6 million of trust common equity to Southwest. The aggregate proceeds of $20.6 million were used to purchase an equal principal amount of adjustable rate subordinated debentures of Southwest that bear interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day LIBOR plus 3.10% (the “OKSB Subordinated Debentures”).
On October 14, 2003, Southwest’s subsidiary, SBI Capital Trust II sold to investors in a private placement $25.0 million of adjustable rate trust preferred securities (the “SBI II Trust Preferred”). The SBI II Trust Preferred bears interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day LIBOR plus 2.85%. In addition to these adjustable rate securities, SBI Capital Trust II sold $0.8 million of trust common equity to Southwest. The aggregate proceeds of $25.8 million were used to purchase an equal principal amount of adjustable rate subordinated debentures of Southwest that bear interest, adjustable quarterly, at 90-day LIBOR plus 2.85% (the “SBI II Subordinated Debentures”).
In July 2008, Southwest’s subsidiary, Southwest Capital Trust II, sold to investors in a public offering $34.5 million of 10.50% trust preferred securities (the “OKSBP Trust Preferred”). In addition to these trust preferred securities, Southwest Capital Trust II sold $1.1 million of trust common equity to Southwest. The aggregate proceeds of $35.6 million were used to purchase an equal amount of 10.50% subordinated debentures of Southwest (the “OKSBP Subordinated Debentures”).
At March 31, 2009, Southwest had an aggregate of $82.0 million of subordinated debentures outstanding and had an asset of $2.5 million representing its total investment in the common equity issued by the Trusts. The sole assets of the Trusts are the subordinated debentures and the liabilities of the Trusts are the OKSB Trust Preferred, the SBI II Trust Preferred, and the OKSBP Trust Preferred. Southwest has, through various contractual arrangements, unconditionally guaranteed payment of all obligations of the Trusts with respect to the OKSB Trust Preferred, the SBI II Trust Preferred, and the OKSBP Trust Preferred. Under each of the debentures, Southwest has the right to defer the payment of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarters on one or more occasions.
The OKSB Trust Preferred, the OKSB Subordinated Debentures, the SBI II Trust Preferred, the SBI II Subordinated Debentures, the OKSBP Trust Preferred, and the OKSBP Subordinated Debentures mature at or near the thirtieth anniversary date of their issuance. However, if certain conditions are met, the OKSB Trust Preferred and the OKSB Subordinated Debentures and the SBI II Trust Preferred and the SBI II Subordinated Debentures may be called at Southwest’s discretion with thirty days notice, and the maturity dates of the OKSBP Trust Preferred and the OKSBP Subordinated Debentures may be shortened at Southwest’s discretion to a date not earlier than September 15, 2013.
NOTE 9: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Plans”) provided 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.
The Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 2008 Stock Based Award Plan (the “2008 Stock Plan”) replaced the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “1999 Plan”). Options issued under the 1999 Plan and Southwest’s 1994 Stock Option Plan continue in effect and are subject to the requirements of those plans, but no new options will be granted under them. The 2008 Stock Plan authorizes awards for up to 800,000 shares of Southwest common stock over its ten-year term.
Stock Options
The exercise price of all stock options granted under the Stock Plans and the 2008 Stock Plan 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 SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, Southwest recorded $24,000 of share-based compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 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 cumulative deferred tax asset that was recorded related to compensation expense was approximately $177,000.

Table of Contents

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.
Share-based employee compensation expense for stock options under the fair value method was measured using the following quarterly assumptions for options granted during the respective quarters. No options were granted in the first quarter of 2009.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $8,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option arrangements granted under the Stock Plans and the 2008 Stock Plan. This unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized during the next year.
Restricted Stock
Restricted shares granted as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 80,628 and 52,192, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, Southwest recognized $46,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, related to all restricted shares

outstanding, compared to $44,000 in compensation expense, net of tax, that was recorded in the first three months of 2008. As of March 31, 2009, there was $544,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares granted under the Stock Plans and the 2008 Stock Plan. This unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized during the next three years.
The restricted stock grants vest one-third on the first, second and third 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 provided that all restrictions will end, and the awards will be fully vested, upon a change in control of Southwest (subject to the prohibition on parachute payments imposed by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) or the permanent and total disability or death of the participant. Southwest will continue to recognize compensation expense over the restricted periods.
NOTE 10: TAXES ON INCOME
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2009 was $2.7 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. For the first quarter of the year, an additional $163,000 has been accrued in interest and penalties. Southwest had approximately $2.0 million accrued for interest and penalties at March 31, 2009.
Southwest and its subsidiaries file 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 2003.
Southwest is currently under audit by the State of Oklahoma for the 2002 through 2006 tax years. During 2008, Southwest received a Notice of Assessment from the Oklahoma Tax Commission and filed a formal Notice of Protest. 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
Effective January 1, 2009, Southwest adopted Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“EITF No. 03-6-1”). FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Southwest has determined that its unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2009, earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method prescribed by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. All previously reported earnings per share data has been retrospectively adjusted to conform to the new computation method and no previously reported earnings per share amounts changed as a result of adoption.
Using the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is computed based upon net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, which exclude the outstanding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock options using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants, where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares, were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted share as they would have been antidilutive. On March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 387,782 and 403,950 antidilutive stock options to purchase common shares, respectively. An antidilutive warrant to purchase 703,753 shares of common stock was also outstanding on March 31, 2009.

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 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:
                 
    March 31,   December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)   2009   2008
 
Commitments to extend commercial and real estate mortgage credit
  $ 560,791     $ 649,830  
Standby and commercial letters of credit
    8,783       7,752  
 
Total
  $ 569,574     $ 657,582  
 
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, commitments do not necessarily represent future outstanding loans or payments. 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. Please see Note 6, “Allowance for Loans Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”.
NOTE 13: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Southwest operates six principal segments: Oklahoma Banking, Texas Banking, Kansas Banking, Other States Banking,

17


Table of Contents

Secondary Market, and Other Operations. The Oklahoma Banking segment, the Texas Banking segment, and the Kansas Banking segment provide deposit and lending services to customers in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. The Other States Banking segment provides lending services to customers outside Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas. 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 funds management unit.
The primary purpose of the funds management unit is to manage Southwest’s overall internal liquidity needs and interest rate risk. Each segment borrows funds from and provides funds to the funds management unit as needed to support its operations. The value of funds provided to and the 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 yield curve used in the funds transfer pricing curve is a blend of rates based on the volume usage of retail and brokered certificates of deposit, capital market certificates of deposit, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
The Other Operations segment also includes SNB Wealth Management, corporate investments, consulting subsidiaries, and nonbank cash machine operations; these operations are discussed more fully in the 2008 Annual Report.
Southwest identifies reportable segments by type of service provided and geographic location. Operating results are adjusted for borrowings, allocated service costs, and management fees. Portfolio loans are allocated based upon the state of the borrower, or the location of the real estate in the case of real estate loans. Loans included in the “Other States Banking” segment are portfolio loans attributable to thirty-seven states other than Oklahoma, Texas, or Kansas, and primarily consist of healthcare and commercial real estate credits. These out of state loans are administered by offices in Oklahoma, Texas, or Kansas.
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 at statutory rates. The Other Operations segment records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements.
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.
The following table summarizes financial results by operating segment:

NOTE 14: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
FSP Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transactions, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 also amended SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to expand certain disclosure requirements. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for Southwest for the three months ending on June 30, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on Southwest’s financial statements.
FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, changes the existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, declines in fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. This FSP is effective for Southwest for the three months ending on June 30, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on Southwest’s financial statements.
FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS No. 107. The new interim disclosures required by FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be included in Southwest’s interim financial statements beginning with the second quarter of 2009.
NOTE 15: VISA USA SHARES
Stillwater National and other VISA USA member banks are obligated to share in costs resulting from litigation against VISA

Table of Contents

USA, including the costs of the November 9, 2007 settlement of an antitrust lawsuit brought by American Express and potential costs of certain other pending litigation. In March 2008, Visa, Inc. (Visa) completed an initial public offering. This transaction allowed Visa to place part of the cash proceeds into an escrow account that will be utilized to pay litigation and settlement expenses. Stillwater National previously estimated the settlement costs of such litigation and recorded its proportionate share of that estimated liability, reduced by its proportionate share of the escrow account established by Visa. As of March 31, 2009, Stillwater National has a payable of $346,000 recorded on the books based on our review of the outstanding litigation. This amount is an estimate and further adjustments may be required.
As a result of Visa’s public offering, in March 2008, Stillwater National recorded a gain of $1.2 million before tax expense for the redemption for cash of 29,212 shares of VISA USA shares owned by Stillwater National and carried at a zero dollar basis. Stillwater National owns an additional 46,348 shares of Class B Visa stock carried at a zero dollar basis. These remaining shares will be held in escrow by Visa until the latter of the third anniversary of the public offering date or the final resolution of the litigation discussed above.

SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.
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. These other matters, include, among other things, the direct and indirect effects of the continuing, unsettled national and international economic conditions on interest rates, credit quality, loan demand, liquidity, and monetary and supervisory policies of banking regulators. 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 Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (“Stillwater National”), 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, Tulsa, Stillwater, Edmond, and Chickasha, Oklahoma; Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Tilden, Texas; and Wichita, Kansas City, Hutchinson, and South Hutchinson, Kansas; and on the Internet, through SNB DirectBanker®. SNB Bank of Wichita (“SNB Wichita”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest, was merged into SNB Kansas on January 23, 2009.
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 March 31, 2009, Southwest had total assets of $2.9 billion, deposits of $2.3 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $300.4 million.
Southwest’s banking 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 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, 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 providing the opportunity for gathering deposits or 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 March 31, 2009, the Texas Banking segment accounted for $990.1 million in loans, the Kansas Banking segment accounted for $309.8 million in loans and the Other States Banking Segment accounted for $276.9 million in loans. In total, these offices accounted for 62% of portfolio loans and 61% of total loans, which include loans held for sale. During the first three months of 2009, these segments incurred a net loss of $257,000, yet produced $48.6 million in loan growth, and $40.1 million in asset growth.

Table of Contents

The Oklahoma Banking segment accounted for $3.2 million of consolidated year-to-date net income. Outstanding loans in the Oklahoma Banking Segment totaled $949.5 million at quarter end.
Southwest offers products to the student and residential mortgage lending markets. These operations comprise the Secondary Market business segment. During the first three months of 2009, this segment incurred a net loss of $61,000 as a result of increased noninterest expense offset by increased margin and increased noninterest income. Secondary Market loans increased $19.5 million, or 34% to $76.4 million. Southwest engages in residential mortgage lending, but residential mortgages have not been a significant element of Southwest’s strategy. Please see “Financial Condition: Loans” below for additional information.
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 three months of 2009 due to losses from the Other Operations segment, which provides funding and liquidity services to the rest of the organization.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Investment Securities
Southwest’s investment security portfolio decreased $85.2 million, or 32%, from $264.2 million at December 31, 2008, to $179.0 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily the result of a $53.3 million (66%) decrease in U.S. government and agency securities and a $31.7 million (21%) decrease in mortgage backed securities during the first three months of 2009.
In March, Southwest determined that the average maturity of its investment portfolio had become shorter than desired as a result of federal market actions, and undertook a corrective restructure of the investment portfolio. In the restructure, Southwest sold of a mix of securities with a book value totaling $120.1 million and made purchase commitments regarding a similar mix of securities with longer average maturity characteristics with a book value totaling $111.8 million. All sales were completed by March 31, 2009 and purchases were to be completed in the first part of the second quarter.
Loans
Total loans, including loans held for sale, were $2.6 billion at March 31, 2009 a 2% increase from December 31, 2008. Commercial real estate construction, student loans, and other consumer loans increased, while real estate mortgage and commercial loans decreased.

Management determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses using an established methodology. (See Note 6: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.) At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $46.3 million, an increase of $6.5 million, or 16%, from the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2008. Changes in the amount of the allowance resulted from the application of the methodology, which is designed to estimate inherent losses on total loans in the portfolio, including those on nonperforming loans. The allowance was 1.83% and 1.59% of total portfolio loans at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Management believes the amount of the allowance is appropriate.
At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was 55.12% of nonperforming loans, compared to 62.16% of nonperforming loans, at December 31, 2008. (See “Results of Operations-Provision for Loan Losses.”) Nonaccrual loans, which comprise the majority of nonperforming assets, were $73.4 million as of March 31, 2009, an increase of $14.1 million or 24% from year end. These loans are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and no longer accrue interest. Loans 90 days or more past due, another component of nonperforming assets, increased $5.9 million, or 126%, from December 31, 2008. These loans are believed to have sufficient collateral and in the process of being collected. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, six credit relationships represented 69% and 82% of nonperforming loans and 65% and 75% of nonperforming assets, respectively. As of March 31, 2009, these credit relationships include three collateral dependent lending relationships with aggregate principal balances of $41.0 million. The associated loss reserves for these three relationships were established based on the estimated fair value of the supporting collateral.
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 $133.8 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $131.5 million at December 31, 2008. 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.
At March 31, 2009, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $3.8 million, a $90,000, or 2%, increase from the amount at December 31, 2008. Management believes the amount of the reserve is appropriate and the increased amount is the result of application of our methodology. (See Note 6: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Deposits and Other Borrowings
Southwest’s deposits were $2.3 billion at March 31, 2009 and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2008. Increases occurred in all types of deposit accounts.

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 Bank NA, UBS Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets Corp., and Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., in connection with its retail certificate of deposit program. At March 31, 2009, $373.4 million in these retail certificates of deposit were included in time deposits of $100,000 or more, an increase of $17.1 million, or 5%, from year-end 2008.
Stillwater National has other brokered certificates of deposit totaling $4.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included in time deposits of $100,000 or more in the above table. In addition, Stillwater National has brokered certificates of deposit issued in amounts under $100,000 totaling $589,000 and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, included in other time deposits in the above table.
Other borrowings, which includes federal funds purchased, FHLB borrowings, and repurchase agreements, decreased $101.4 million, or 34%, to $193.7 million during the first three months of 2009. The decrease reflects the changes in the need for funding based on deposit activities for the period.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity decreased $1.8 million, or 1%, due primarily to a reduction in net unrealized holding gains on available for sale investment securities (net of tax) of $2.2 million and dividends declared totaling $1.2 million, offset in part by earnings of $1.3 million for the first three months of 2009. Issuance of common stock through the employee stock purchase plan and share based compensation plans, including tax benefits realized, contributed an additional $298,000 to shareholders’ equity in the first three months of 2009.
At March 31, 2009, Southwest, Stillwater National, and SNB Kansas continued to exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See “Capital Resources” on page 31.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 and 2008
Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 of $296,000 represented a decrease of $4.9 million, or 94%, from the $5.2 million earned in the first quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 compared to $0.36, a 94% decrease. The decrease in quarterly net income available to common shareholders was the result of an $8.6 million, or 387%, increase in the provision for loan losses, a $795,000, or 4%, decrease in net interest income and $876,000 in quarterly dividends on preferred stock, offset in part by a $2.5 million, or 78%, decrease in income taxes, a $1.8 million, or 38%, increase in noninterest income, and a $1.2 million, or 8%, decrease in noninterest expense.
The $795,000 decrease in net interest income for the quarter was primarily due to the effects of decreased loan yields, which more than offset the favorable effects of increased loan volume. Provisions 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 first quarter of 2009 was $8.6 million more than the provision required for first quarter of 2008. (See Note 6: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and “Provision for Loan Losses and for Unfunded Loan Commitments” on page 29.)

The increase in noninterest income was mainly the result of increased gains on securities of $1.7 million, an increase in service charges and fees of $143,000, and a $92,000 increase in other noninterest income, offset by decreased gains on sale of loans of $122,000. The decrease in noninterest expense consists of a $2.0 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $112,000 decrease in other real estate, offset by a $538,000 increase in FDIC and other insurance, a $273,000 increase in occupancy expense and a $53,000 increase in general and administrative expense.
On an operating segment basis, the decrease in net income was the result of a $2.9 million reduction in net income from the Other States Banking segment, a $1.3 million reduction in net income from the Texas Banking segment, and a $609,000 increased loss from the Other Operations segment, offset by a $707,000 increase in net income from the Oklahoma Banking segment, a $140,000 increase in net income from the Kansas Banking segment, and a $113,000 increase in net income from the Secondary Market 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. Net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates because different types of assets owned and liabilities issued by Southwest may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates. When interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income. Similarly, 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.
Yields on Southwest’s interest-earning assets decreased 169 basis points, while the rates paid on Southwest’s interest-bearing liabilities decreased only 144 basis points, resulting in a decrease in the interest rate spread to 2.54% for the first quarter of 2009 from 2.79% for the first quarter of 2008. During the same periods, annualized net interest margin was 3.00% and 3.45%, respectively, and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 121.94% from 119.68%.
The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets, which was offset in part by the effects of a $301.8 million, or 12%, increase in average interest-earning assets. Southwest’s average loans increased $290.2 million, or 13%; however, the related yield decreased to 5.20% for the first quarter of 2009 from 7.09% in

2008. During the same period, average investment securities increased $11.7 million, or 5%, and the related yield increased to 4.10% from 3.97% in 2008.
The decrease in total interest expense can be attributed to the decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, offset in part by a $208.0 million, or 10%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Southwest’s average total interest-bearing deposits increased $174.8 million, or 9%; however, the related yield decreased to 2.43% for the first quarter of 2009 from 3.99% in 2008.
UNAUDITED RATE VOLUME TABLE
The following table analyzes changes in interest income and interest expense of Southwest for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate); and (ii) changes in rates (changes in rate multiplied by the prior period’s volume). Changes in rate-volume (changes in rate multiplied by the changes in volume) are allocated between changes in rate and changes in volume in proportion to the relative contribution of each.

The increase in other service charges is the result of increases in commercial account service charges. These charges increased as the net result of a reduction in earnings credits paid to depositors on balances caused by decreases in interest rates and a decrease in overdraft service charges. Other fees decreased as a result of decreased brokerage fees, decreased loan fees and increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights, which includes an impairment charge of $279,000 and $260,000 at March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 respectively.
The increase in other noninterest income is primarily the result of decreased loss on the sale of fixed assets offset by decreased consulting fee 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.
As of March 31, 2009, gain on investment securities includes a $2.9 million gain recognized as the result of the sale of investment securities during the period, while the $1.2 million gain at March 31, 2008, is the result of the redemption of certain VISA USA common shares.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in the number of employees, a decrease in the profit sharing contribution, a decrease in accrued bonus expense, and an increase in deferred expense recognition related to loan origination costs. The number of full-time equivalent employees for the quarter decreased from 442 at the beginning of the quarter to 425 as of March 31, 2009. For the first quarter of 2008, the number of full-time equivalent employees for the quarter decreased from 489 at the beginning of the quarter to 467 as of March 31, 2008.

Occupancy expense increased primarily due to increased building rental expense, increased depreciation expense, increased ad valorem tax expense, and increased amortization of maintenance contracts.
Southwest’s bank subsidiaries pay deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on assessment rates. The increase from prior year is primarily due to the FDIC finalizing a rule in December 2008 that raised the then current assessment rates uniformly by 7 basis points for the first quarter of 2009 assessment. The increase also includes the additional 10 basis point assessment paid on covered transaction accounts exceeding $250,000 under the Temporary Liquidity Guaranty Program.
In February 2009, the FDIC issued final rules that changed the risk-based assessment system and set assessment rates to begin in the second quarter of 2009. Four risk categories (I-IV), each subject to different premium rates, were established, based upon an institution’s status as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized, and the institution’s supervisory rating. Until April 1, 2009, insured depository institutions paid deposit insurance premiums that ranged from 5 to 7 basis points on an institution’s assessment base for institutions in Risk Category I (well capitalized institutions perceived as posing the least risk to the insurance fund), and 10, 28, and 43 basis points for institutions in Risk Categories II, III, and IV. Stillwater National and Bank of Kansas are in Risk Category I. Beginning on April 1, 2009, three new factors can result in adjustments to an institution’s initial base assessment rate: (1) a potential decrease for long-term unsecured debt, including senior and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier I capital; (2) a potential increase for secured liabilities above a threshold amount; and (3) for non-Risk Category I institutions, a potential increase for brokered deposits above a threshold amount, other than those received through a deposit placement network on a reciprocal basis. Beginning April 1, 2009, the adjusted premium rates increased to range from 7 to 24 basis points for Risk Category I and from 17 to 77.5 for Risk Categories II through IV.
Further, in late February, the FDIC adopted an interim rule imposing an emergency special assessment on all banks of up to 20 basis points. The assessment is to be collected on September 30, 2009. The interim rule also would permit the FDIC to impose an emergency special assessment after June 30, 2009, of up to 10 basis points, if necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance. Southwest cannot yet determine whether the FDIC will actually impose such special assessments or if it does, the amount and timing of such assessments. As a result of competitive pressures for deposits, Southwest may not be able to adjust deposit rates to offset the cost of increased deposit insurance premiums.
As of March 31, 2009, other real estate (net) includes a $337,000 gain that was recognized on the sale of two properties, offset by $224,000 increased expenses incurred on properties.
The unfunded loan commitment reserve expense decreased due to a decline in the growth of commitments when compared to the same period of prior year.
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. (See Note 6: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The allowance for loan losses of $46.3 million increased $6.5 million, or 16%, from year-end 2008. A provision for loan losses of $10.9 million was recorded in the first three months of 2009, an increase of $8.6 million, or 387%, from the first three months of 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses was the result of the calculations of the appropriate allowance at each period end. This change in the period end allowance is the result of an increase in the allowance related to impaired loans, an increase in net charge-offs for the period, an increase in potential problem loans, and growth in performing commercial and commercial real estate loans,. (See Note 6: “Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments”, in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.)
At March 31, 2009, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $3.8 million, a $90,000, or 2%, increase from the amount reported at December 31, 2008. This reserve is included in other liabilities. The related provision for unfunded loan commitments is a component of general and administrative expense. (See Note 6: “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 $705,000 and $3.2 million for the first three months of 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 78%. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2009 was 34.66% while the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2008 was 38.40%.
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 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 capital and money markets. These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans, and operate the organization.
Southwest, Stillwater National, 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”).
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 $1.9 million at March 31, 2009. Stillwater National has approved federal funds purchase lines totaling $316.3 million with ten banks; $400,000 was outstanding on these lines at March 31, 2009. Stillwater National is qualified to borrow funds from the FRB through their Borrower-In-Custody (“BIC”) program. Collateral under this program consists of pledged selected commercial and industrial loans. Currently the collateral will allow Stillwater National to borrow up to $112.0 million. As of March 31, 2009, no borrowings were made through the BIC program. In addition, Stillwater National has available a $446.9 million line of credit and SNB Kansas has a $37.6 million line of credit from the FHLB. Borrowings under the FHLB lines are secured by investment securities and loans. At March 31, 2009, the Stillwater National FHLB line of credit had an outstanding balance of $146.5 million and the SNB Kansas lines of credit had an outstanding balance of $5.0 million. Stillwater National also has available a line of credit from Sallie Mae for $200 million, with borrowings secured by student loans. Southwest had no outstanding balance on the Sallie Mae line as of March 31, 2009.
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 $25.0 million and $35.0 million as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
During the first three months of 2009, the only category of other borrowings whose average exceeded 30% of ending shareholders’ equity was funds borrowed from the FHLB.

During the first three months of 2008, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.1 million, or 18%, to $37.6 million. This decrease was the net result of cash used in investing activities of $122.7 million (primarily from net loans originated net of principal repayments), offset in part by cash provided by operating activities of $13.6 million, and cash provided from financing activities of $101.1 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 March 31, 2009, Southwest exceeded all applicable capital requirements, having a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.11%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 12.85%, and a leverage ratio of 12.72%. As of March 31, 2009, Stillwater National and SNB Kansas 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, or SNB Kansas by bank regulators.
On March 6, 2009, Southwest declared a dividend of $0.0238 per common share payable on April 1, 2009 to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2009. This represents a decrease from the $0.095 dividend paid for each quarter of 2008. The dividend amount is established by the Board of Directors each quarter. In making its decision on dividends, the Board considers operating results, financial condition, capital adequacy, regulatory requirements, shareholder returns and other factors.
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 net income. Actual results differ from simulated results due to timing, cash flows, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, 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.

    (2.26 )%     (4.08 )%     (3.81 )%
On December 16, 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee established the overnight rate as a range of 0% to 0.25%. Southwest believes that all down rate scenarios are impractical since they would result in rates of less than 0%. As a result, the down 100 bp, down 200 bp and down 300 bp scenarios have been excluded. The Net Interest Income at Risk position improved in the rising interest rate environment when compared to the December 31, 2008 risk position. Southwest’s largest exposure to changes in interest rate is in the +100 bp scenario with a measure of (0.80%) at March 31, 2009, an improvement of 3.01 percentage points from the December 31, 2008 level of (3.81%). All of the above measures of net interest income at risk remain well within prescribed policy limits.
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.

As of March 31, 2009, the economic value of equity measure improved in each of the increasing interest rate scenario when compared to the December 31, 2008 percentages. Southwest’s largest economic value of equity exposure is the +300 bp scenario which improved 3.23 percentage points to (5.25%) on March 31, 2009 from the December 31, 2008 value of (8.48%). The economic value of equity ratio in all scenarios remains well within Southwest’s Asset and Liability Management Policy limits.

First Three Months of 2009 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change occurred during the first three months of 2009 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.
