NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.	Basis of Presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MB Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned national bank subsidiary, MB Financial Bank, N.A. (“MB Financial Bank”), based in Chicago, Illinois. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2013 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.


Note 2.	New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” amended prior guidance to include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company adopted this new authoritative guidance on January 1, 2014, and it did not have an impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.

ASC Topic 310 “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables” amended prior guidance to clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical

possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosures. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.

ASC Topic 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 323, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” amended prior guidance to permit entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the statement of operation as a component of income tax expense. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.

ASC Topics 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” and ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” amended prior guidance to change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The disposal of a component of an entity or group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The new authoritative guidance also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.

ASC Topic 860 “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing” amended prior guidance to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and to require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterpart, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The new authoritative guidance also requires disclosures for a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2015, and the Company is assessing the impact on the statements of operations and financial condition.

ASC Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” amended prior guidance to require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.


Note 3.	Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, though no actual shares of common stock related to restricted stock units are issued until the settlement of such units, to the extent holders of these securities receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents at the same rate as holders of the Company's common stock. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data).

Note 4.	Business Combinations

On July 14, 2013, the Company and Taylor Capital Group, Inc. (“Taylor Capital”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by the amendment thereto dated as of June 30, 2014, the "Merger Agreement") whereby the Company will acquire Taylor Capital. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Taylor Capital will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger. Immediately following the Merger, Taylor Capital's wholly owned subsidiary bank, Cole Taylor Bank, will merge with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary bank, MB Financial Bank. Cole Taylor Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Chicago with $6.0 billion in assets, $3.7 billion in loans and $4.0 billion in deposits as of June 30, 2014.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Taylor Capital common stock and each share of Taylor Capital nonvoting convertible preferred stock ("non-voting preferred stock") will be converted into the right to receive, promptly following the Effective Time, (1) 0.64318 of a share of the Company's common stock and (2) $4.08 in cash. All "in-the-money" Taylor Capital stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled in exchange for a cash payment as provided in the Merger Agreement, as will all then-outstanding unvested restricted stock awards of Taylor Capital; however, the cash consideration paid for such restricted stock awards will remain subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions. Each share of Taylor Capital's Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, will be exchanged for a share of a series of preferred stock of the Company with substantially identical terms.

The Merger Agreement was approved by the stockholders of each of MB Financial and Taylor Capital on February 26, 2014. The Merger has been approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

As previously reported, Taylor Capital had been notified by its regulators that its subsidiary bank, Cole Taylor Bank, may be cited with a violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. This matter related to the account opening process associated with a former deposit program relationship Cole Taylor Bank had with an organization that provides electronic financial disbursements and payment services to the higher education industry (the “Former Counterparty”). Cole Taylor Bank exited the relationship with the Former Counterparty in August 2013. Effective June 26, 2014, in connection with this matter, Cole Taylor Bank entered into an Order to Cease and Desist and Order of Assessment of Civil Money Penalty Issued Upon Consent Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Illinois Banking Act, As Amended (the “Consent Order”), with the Federal Reserve Board and the State of Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking (the “Illinois Department”). Cole Taylor Bank was assessed civil money penalties under the Consent Order of $3,510,000 by the Federal Reserve Board and $600,000 by the Illinois Department. The Consent Order also imposes a secondary obligation on Cole Taylor Bank to make restitution to account holders affected by the violation to the extent any such restitution that the Former Counterparty is ordered by the Federal Reserve Board to pay is not satisfied by the Former Counterparty, subject to a maximum of the lesser of: (i) $30,000,000; or (ii) the total amount of such restitution that relates to fees collected by the Former Counterparty from affected account holders between May 4, 2012 and June 30, 2014.

Effective June 30, 2014, MB Financial entered into a letter agreement (the “Escrow Letter Agreement”) with certain principal stockholders of Taylor Capital (the “Principal Stockholders”) collectively owning approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of Taylor Capital common stock and Taylor Capital nonvoting preferred stock, pursuant to which the Principal Stockholders have agreed to be responsible for repayment of 60% of the restitution payments made by Cole Taylor Bank or MB Financial Bank, as successor to Cole Taylor Bank, under the Consent Order for a specified period of time calculated on an after-tax basis if MB Financial realizes a tax benefit therefrom. Aside from the Principal Stockholders, no Taylor Capital stockholders are subject to the provisions of the Escrow Letter Agreement, and the form, timing and amount of merger consideration to be paid to all stockholders of Taylor Capital, aside from the Principal Stockholders, in conjunction with the Merger will not be not affected by the Escrow Letter Agreement.

The Escrow Letter Agreement provides that, during the four-year period after the closing of the Merger, the payment obligation of the Principal Stockholders will be secured by their deposit into escrow of cash or a letter of credit. The Principal Stockholders, other than two funds whose obligations represent approximately 15% of the total obligations of all Principal Stockholders, will remain obligated for an additional four years on an unsecured basis. The two funds will remain obligated on an unsecured basis for an additional three years.

If, for any reason, MB Financial Bank recovers all or any portion of a restitution payment for which it received a disbursement from the escrowed funds, or a separate payment from the Principal Stockholders pursuant to the Escrow Letter Agreement, MB Financial Bank will distribute to the Principal Stockholders, on a pro rata basis, 60% of MB Financial Bank’s net after-tax recovery, including reasonable third party expenses incurred by MB Financial Bank relating to the recovery.

The total number of security positions in the investment portfolio in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014 was 94 compared to 345 at December 31, 2013. Declines in the fair value of 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. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) whether or not the Company is more likely than not to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis.

As of June 30, 2014, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2014, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary.

Changes in market interest rates can significantly influence the fair value of securities, and the fair value of our municipal securities portfolio would decline substantially if interest rates increase materially.

Total loans ⁽¹⁾	$	5,556,724	$	5,712,551

⁽¹⁾ Gross loan balances at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are net of unearned income, including net deferred loan fees of $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Loans are made to individuals as well as commercial and tax exempt entities. Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower. Except for commercial loans collateralized by assignment of lease payments, credit risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by MB Financial Bank.

The Company's extension of credit is governed by its Credit Risk Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company's loans. These policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

Commercial Loans. Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market customers. Such credits are typically comprised of working capital loans, loans for physical asset expansion, asset acquisition loans and other business loans. Loans to closely held businesses will generally be guaranteed in full or for a significant amount by the businesses' principal owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not behave as forecasted and collateral securing loans may fluctuate in value due to economic or individual performance factors. Minimum standards and underwriting guidelines have been established for all commercial loan types.

Commercial Loans Collateralized by Assignment of Lease Payments ("Lease Loans"). The Company makes lease loans to both investment grade and non-investment grade companies. Investment grade lessees are companies rated in one of the four highest categories by Moody's Investor Services or Standard & Poor's Rating Services or, in the event the related lessee has not received any such rating, where the related lessee would be viewed under the underwriting polices of the Company as an investment grade company. Whether or not companies fall into this category, each lease loan is considered on its individual merit based on financial information available at the time of underwriting.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.

Construction Real Estate Loans. The Company defines construction loans as loans where the loan proceeds are controlled by the Company and used exclusively for the improvement of real estate in which the Company holds a mortgage. Due to the inherent risk in this type of loan, they are subject to other industry specific policy guidelines outlined in the Company's Credit Risk Policy.

Consumer Related Loans. The Company originates direct and indirect consumer loans, including primarily residential real estate, home equity lines and loans, credit cards, and indirect vehicle loans (motorcycle, powersports, recreational and marine vehicles), using a matrix-based credit analysis as part of the underwriting process. Each loan type has a separate matrix which consists of several factors including debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower. Indirect loan and credit card underwriting involves the use of risk-based pricing in the underwriting process.

A collateral pledge agreement exists whereby at all times, the Company must keep on hand, free of all other pledges, liens, and encumbrances, first mortgage loans and home equity loans with unpaid principal balances aggregating no less than 133% for first mortgage loans and 250% for home equity loans of the outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $803.8 million and $835.1 million, respectively, of loans pledged as collateral for long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances, while only $7.0 million and $518.4 million were required to be pledged at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The following table presents the contractual aging of the recorded investment in past due loans by class of loans as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Under the Company's risk rating system, the Company classifies potential problem and problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” and “Doubtful.” Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses that deserve management's close attention are deemed to be Special Mention. Risk ratings are updated at least annually and any time the situation warrants.

Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics. The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent analysis performed as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Impaired loans included accruing restructured loans of $26.8 million and $29.4 million that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In addition, impaired loans included $14.5 million and $25.0 million of non-performing, restructured loans as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Loans may be restructured in an effort to maximize collections from financially distressed borrowers. We use various restructuring techniques, including, but not limited to, deferring past due interest or principal, implementing an A/B note structure, redeeming past due taxes, reducing interest rates, extending maturities and modifying amortization schedules. Residential real estate loans are restructured in an effort to minimize losses while allowing borrowers to remain in their primary residences when possible. Programs that we offer to residential real estate borrowers include the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”), a restructuring program similar to the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) for first mortgage borrowers, the Second Lien Modification Program (“2MP”) and similar programs for home equity borrowers in keeping with the restructuring techniques discussed above.

Periodically, the Company will restructure a note into two separate notes (A/B structure), charging off the entire B portion of the note. The A note is structured with appropriate loan-to-value and cash flow coverage ratios that provide for a high likelihood of

repayment. The A note is classified as a non-performing note until the borrower has displayed a historical payment performance for a reasonable time prior to and subsequent to the restructuring. A period of sustained repayment for at least six months generally is required to return the note to accrual status provided that management has determined that the performance is reasonably expected to continue. The A note will be classified as a restructured note (either performing or non-performing) through the calendar year of the restructuring that the historical payment performance has been established. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was approximately $1.1 million in recorded investment in relation to one A/B structure.

A loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring will no longer be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures in the years after the restructuring if the loan performs in accordance with the terms specified by the restructuring agreement and the interest rate specified in the restructuring agreement represents a market rate at the time of modification. The specified interest rate is considered a market rate when the interest rate is equal to or greater than the rate the Company is willing to accept at the time of restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk. If there are concerns that the borrower will not be able to meet the modified terms of the loan, the loan will continue to be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures.

Impairment analyses on commercial-related loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are performed in conjunction with the normal allowance for loan loss process. Consumer loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are aggregated in two pools that share common risk characteristics, home equity and residential real estate loans, with impairment measured on a quarterly basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.

Approximately $5.7 million of non-performing troubled debt restructurings were transferred to performing status. A majority of these loans were identified as non-performing troubled debt restructurings during the first half of 2013 and have performed in accordance with the modified terms. The loans continue to be reported as performing troubled debt restructurings. The loans transferred to non-performing in the table above were restructured in 2011 and 2012. Loans removed from troubled debt restructuring status are those that were restructured in a previous calendar year at a market rate of interest and have performed in compliance with the modified terms.

(1) Loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions and accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 “Receivables — Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.”

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. These acquired loans are segregated into three types: pass rated loans with no discount attributable to credit quality, non-impaired loans with a discount attributable at least in part to credit quality and impaired loans with evidence of significant credit deterioration.


•	Pass rated loans (typically performing loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 "Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs" as these loans do not have evidence of credit deterioration since origination.


•	Non-impaired loans (typically past-due loans, special mention loans and performing substandard loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 if they display at least some level of credit deterioration since origination.


•	Impaired loans (typically substandard loans on non-accrual status) are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 as they display significant credit deterioration since origination.

In accordance with ASC 310-30, for both purchased non-impaired loans and purchased impaired loans, the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Substantially all of the loans acquired in transactions with the FDIC displayed at least some level of credit deterioration and as such are included as non-impaired and impaired loans as described immediately above.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 there was a negative provision for credit losses of $163 thousand and net charge-offs of $850 thousand, in relation to 16 pools of purchased loans with a total carrying amount of $119.5 million as of June 30, 2014. There was $1.2 million and $2.2 million in allowance for loan losses related to these purchased loans at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The provision for credit losses and accompanying charge-offs are included in the table above.

Changes in the accretable yield for loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions and accounted for under ASC 310-30 were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	2,361		$	4,320		$	2,337		$	5,685
Accretion	(1,143		)	(1,422		)	(1,693		)	(2,879		)
Other	—			3,462			574			3,554
Balance at end of period	$	1,218		$	6,360		$	1,218		$	6,360

In our FDIC-assisted transactions, the fair value of purchased impaired loans, on the acquisition date, was determined based on assigned risk ratings, expected cash flows and the fair value of loan collateral. The fair value of loans that were non-impaired was determined based on estimates of losses on defaults and other market factors. Due to the loss-share agreements with the FDIC, MB Financial Bank recorded a receivable (FDIC indemnification asset) from the FDIC equal to the present value of the corresponding reimbursement percentages on the estimated losses embedded in the loan portfolio.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted downward for a particular loan pool, the FDIC indemnification asset is increased. An allowance for loan losses is established for the impairment of the loans. A provision for loan losses is recognized for the difference between the increase in the FDIC indemnification asset and the decrease in cash flows.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted upward for a particular loan pool, the FDIC indemnification asset is decreased. The difference between the decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset and the increase in cash flows is accreted over the estimated life of the loan pool.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted downward for covered foreclosed real estate, the FDIC indemnification asset is increased. A charge is recognized for the difference between the increase in the FDIC indemnification asset and the decrease in cash flows.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted upward for covered foreclosed real estate, the FDIC indemnification asset is decreased. Any write-down after the transfer to covered foreclosed real estate is reversed.

In both scenarios, the clawback liability (the amount the FDIC requires MB Financial Bank to pay back if certain thresholds are met) will increase or decrease accordingly.

The carrying amount of covered loans and other purchased non-covered loans at June 30, 2014 consisted of loans as shown in the following table (in thousands):



June 30, 2014	Purchased Impaired Loans		Purchased Non-Impaired Loans		Total
Covered loans:
Commercial related (1)	$	1,908	$	2,546	$	4,454
Commercial	734		1,372		2,106

Other	89		3,444		3,533
Total non-covered loans	$	6,635	$	17,018	$	23,653


(1)	Covered commercial related loans include commercial, commercial real estate and construction real estate loans acquired in connection with the Heritage and Benchmark FDIC-assisted transactions.


(2)	Estimated reimbursable amounts from the FDIC under the loss-share agreement exclude $166 thousand in amounts due to the FDIC related to covered other real estate owned.


(3)	Non-covered commercial related loans include commercial, commercial real estate and construction real estate for InBank and Heritage.

Outstanding balances on purchased loans from the FDIC were $163.2 million and $268.5 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The related carrying amount on loans purchased from the FDIC was $158.6 million and $256.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Effective April 1, 2014, the losses on commercial related loans (commercial, commercial real estate and construction real estate) acquired in connection with the Heritage FDIC-assisted transaction ceased being covered under the loss-share agreement for that transaction. The carrying amount of those loans was $3.9 million as of June 30, 2014. Any recoveries, net of expenses, received on commercial related loans on which losses were incurred prior to April 1, 2014 will continue to be covered (and any such net recoveries must be shared with the FDIC in accordance with the loss-share agreement) through March 31, 2017. The losses on consumer related loans acquired in connection with the Heritage FDIC-assisted transaction will continue to be covered under the loss-share agreement through March 31, 2019.

The losses on commercial related loans acquired in connection with the Benchmark FDIC-assisted transaction will cease to be covered under the loss-share agreement for that transaction effective January 1, 2015. Effective July 1, 2015, the losses on commercial related loans acquired in connection with Broadway and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions will cease to be covered under the loss-share agreements for those transactions. Any recoveries, net of expenses, received on commercial related loans on which losses were incurred prior to January 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015, for the respective transactions, will continue to be covered (and any such net recoveries must be shared with the FDIC in accordance with the loss-share agreements) through December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 for the Benchmark FDIC-assisted transaction and Broadway and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions, respectively. The losses on consumer related loans acquired in connection with the Benchmark FDIC-assisted transaction and Broadway and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions will continue to be covered under the loss-share agreements through December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively.


Note 7.	Goodwill and Intangibles

The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including core deposit and client relationship intangibles, consists of goodwill. Under ASC Topic 350, goodwill is subject to at least annual assessments for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company reviews goodwill to determine potential impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired, by comparing the carrying value of the reporting units with the fair value of the reporting units.

The Company's annual assessment date is as of December 31. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units: banking and leasing. No impairment losses were recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013. The carrying amount of goodwill was $423.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company has other intangible assets consisting of core deposit and client relationship intangibles that had a remaining weighted average amortization period of approximately four years as of June 30, 2014.

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of core deposit and client relationship intangibles, gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization, and net book value as of June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

Total	$	7,763,064	$	7,381,259

Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more included $216.0 million and $224.2 million of brokered deposits at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Brokered deposits typically consist of smaller individual time certificates that have the same liquidity characteristics and yields consistent with time certificates of $100,000 or more.


Note 9.	Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings were as follows as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):



	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Weighted Average Cost		Amount		Weighted Average Cost		Amount
Customer repurchase agreements	0.21	%	$	229,809	0.20	%	$	193,389
Federal Home Loan Bank advances	—		—		0.17		300,000
	0.21	%	$	229,809	0.18	%	$	493,389

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are agreements in which the Company acquires funds by selling assets to another party under a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same assets at a specified price and date. The Company enters into repurchase agreements and also offers a demand deposit account product to customers that sweeps their balances in excess of an agreed upon target amount into overnight repurchase agreements. All securities sold under agreements to repurchase are recorded on the face of the balance sheet.

The Company had a Federal Home Loan Bank fixed rate advance with a maturity date less than one year of $300.0 million at December 31, 2013 that matured early in the first quarter of 2014. The Company has investment securities available for sale and loans pledged as collateral on this FHLB advance. See Note 4. Investment Securities and Note 5. Loans of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

On March 9, 2012, the Company entered into a $35.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank. Interest is payable at a rate of one month LIBOR + 2.00%. As of June 30, 2014, no amount was outstanding. The line originally matured on March 8, 2013, was renewed and is scheduled to mature on September 7, 2014.


Note 10.	Long-term Borrowings

The Company had Federal Home Loan Bank advances with remaining contractual maturities greater than one year of $4.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the advances had fixed terms with effective interest rates, net of discounts, ranging from 3.23% to 5.87% and maturities ranging from April 2021 to April 2035. The Company has investment securities available for sale and loans pledged as collateral on this FHLB advance. See Note 5. Investment Securities and Note 6. Loans of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company had notes payable to banks totaling $27.0 million and $17.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which as of June 30, 2014, were accruing interest at rates ranging from 2.50% to 12.00%. Lease investments includes equipment with an amortized cost of $25.6 million and $25.7 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that is pledged as collateral on these notes.

The Company had a $40.0 million 10-year structured repurchase agreement as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which bears interest at a fixed rate borrowing of 4.75% and expires in 2016.


Note 11.	Junior Subordinated Notes Issued to Capital Trusts

The Company has established statutory trusts for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and related trust common securities. The proceeds from such issuances were used by the trusts to purchase junior subordinated notes of the Company, which are the sole assets of each trust. Concurrently with the issuance of the trust preferred securities, the Company issued guarantees for the benefit of the holders of the trust preferred securities. The Company’s outstanding trust preferred securities qualify, and are treated by the Company, as Tier 1 regulatory capital. The Company owns all of the common securities of each trust. The trust preferred securities issued by each trust rank equally with the common securities in right of payment, except that if an event of default under the indenture governing the notes has occurred and is continuing, the preferred securities will rank senior to the common securities in right of payment.

The table below summarizes the outstanding junior subordinated notes and the related trust preferred securities issued by each trust as of June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

(2)	FOBB Statutory Trust III was established by First Oak Brook Bancshares, Inc. (“FOBB”) prior to the Company's acquisition of FOBB, and the junior subordinated note issued by FOBB to FOBB Statutory Trust III was assumed by the Company upon completion of the acquisition.

The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated notes at the stated maturity date or upon redemption of the junior subordinated notes. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior subordinated notes. The Company’s obligation under the junior subordinated notes and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities issued by each trust. The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the notes and, therefore, distributions on the trust preferred securities, for up to five years, but not beyond the stated maturity date in the table above. During any such deferral period the Company may not pay cash dividends on its stock and generally may not repurchase its stock.


Note 12.	Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments: The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the following financial instruments were outstanding, the contractual amounts of which represent off-balance sheet credit risk (in thousands):



	Contractual Amount
	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Commitments to extend credit:
Home equity lines	$	194,711	$	208,581
Other commitments	1,211,154		1,214,391
Letters of credit:
Standby	71,948		69,556
Commercial	3,874		708

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. The commitments for home equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

The Company, in the normal course of its business, regularly offers standby and commercial letters of credit to its bank customers. Standby and commercial letters of credit are a conditional but irrevocable form of guarantee. Under letters of credit, the Company typically guarantees payment to a third party beneficiary upon the default of payment or nonperformance by the bank customer and upon receipt of complying documentation from that beneficiary.

Both standby and commercial letters of credit may be issued for any length of time, but normally do not exceed a period of five years. These letters of credit may also be extended or amended from time to time depending on the bank customer’s needs. As of June 30, 2014, the maximum remaining term for any standby letters of credit was December 31, 2020. A fee is charged to the bank customer and is recognized as income over the life of the letter of credit, unless considered non-rebatable under the terms of a letter of credit application.

At June 30, 2014, the aggregate contractual amount of these letters of credit, which represents the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company would be obligated to pay, increased $5.6 million to $75.8 million from $70.3 million at December 31, 2013. Of the $75.8 million in commitments outstanding at June 30, 2014, approximately $34.8 million of the letters of credit have been issued or renewed since December 31, 2013.

Letters of credit issued on behalf of bank customers may be done on either a secured, partially secured or an unsecured basis. If a letter of credit is secured or partially secured, the collateral can take various forms including bank accounts, investments, fixed assets, inventory, accounts receivable or real estate, among other things. The Company takes the same care in making credit decisions and obtaining collateral when it issues letters of credit on behalf of its customers as it does when making other types of loans.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in capital expenditure commitments outstanding which relate to various projects to renovate existing branches.

Concentrations of credit risk: The majority of the loans, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area. As of June 30, 2014, approximately 28% of our investments in securities issued by states and political subdivisions were within the state of Illinois. We did not hold any direct exposure to the state of Illinois as of June 30, 2014. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding.

Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers. Lease banking provides banking services to lessors located throughout the United States. Our leasing subsidiaries originate leases to companies located through the United States.

Contingencies: In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from pending proceedings would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 26, 2013, an action captioned James Sullivan v. Taylor Capital Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 2013-CH17751 (the “Sullivan Action”) was commenced against Taylor Capital, the board of directors of Taylor Capital (the “Taylor Capital Board”), and MB Financial (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (the “Court”), alleging that the Taylor Capital Board breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the pending MB Financial/Taylor Capital merger (the “Merger”) and that MB Financial aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty. On August 8, 2013, a stockholder class action captioned Dennis Panozzo v. Taylor Capital Group, Inc., et. al., Case No. 2013-CH-18546 (the “Panozzo Action”) was commenced against the Defendants in the Court making similar allegations in connection with the Merger. Subsequently, on September 10, 2013, the Sullivan Action and the Panozzo Action were consolidated pursuant to Court order under the first-filed Sullivan Action, Case No. 2013-CH17751 (as so consolidated, the “Action”). On October 24, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Action (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a consolidated amended class action complaint, alleging that the Taylor Capital Board breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger, including by making incomplete and misleading disclosures concerning the Merger, and that MB Financial aided and abetted those breaches of fiduciary duty.

On February 17, 2014, solely to eliminate the costs, risks, burden, distraction and expense of further litigation and to put the claims that were or could have been asserted to rest, the Defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the Plaintiffs regarding the settlement of the Action pursuant to which Taylor Capital and MB Financial agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures concerning the Merger, which each of Taylor Capital and MB Financial did in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by each company on February 18, 2014 (the “Form 8-Ks”). On July 10, 2014, the parties entered into a definitive settlement agreement. The agreement is subject to Court approval. The agreement provides that, solely for purposes of settlement, the Court will certify a class consisting of all persons who were record or beneficial stockholders of Taylor Capital when the Merger was approved by the Taylor Capital Board or any time thereafter (the “Class”). In addition, the agreement provides that, subject to approval by the Court after notice to the members of the Class (the “Class Members”), the Action will be dismissed with prejudice and all claims that the Class Members may possess with regard to the Merger, with the exception of claims for statutory appraisal, will be released. Class Members will be afforded an opportunity to opt out of the class solely with regard to any monetary claims they may possess. In connection with the settlement, the Plaintiffs’ counsel has expressed their intention to seek an award by the Court of attorneys’ fees and expenses. The amount of the award to the Plaintiffs’ counsel will ultimately be determined by the Court. This payment will not affect the amount of merger consideration to be paid by MB Financial or that any Taylor Capital stockholder will receive in the Merger. The proposed settlement has not yet been presented to the Court for approval. There can be no assurance that the Court will approve the settlement. In the absence of such approval, the proposed settlement will terminate.

The Defendants continue to believe that the Action is without merit, have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, all of the allegations of wrongful or actionable conduct asserted in the Action, and the Taylor Capital Board vigorously maintains that it diligently and scrupulously complied with its fiduciary duties, that the joint proxy statement/prospectus dated January 14, 2014 mailed to the stockholders of Taylor Capital and MB Financial was complete and accurate in all material respects and that no further disclosure was required under applicable law. The Defendants are entering into the MOU and the contemplated settlement solely to eliminate the costs, risks, burden, distraction and expense of further litigation and to put the claims that were or could have been asserted to rest. Nothing in the MOU, any settlement agreement or any public filing, including the Form 8-Ks, shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity of filing or the materiality under applicable laws of any of the additional information contained therein or in any public filing associated with the proposed settlement of the Action.

Based on information currently available, consultations with counsel and established reserves, management believes that the eventual outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Note 13.	Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert expected future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present value amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for 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 (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other 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.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company's monthly and/or quarterly valuation process.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available for Sale. The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by quoted prices in active markets, when available, and classified as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities and classified as Level 2. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are classified as Level 3.

Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices and classified as level 2.

Assets Held in Trust for Deferred Compensation and Associated Liabilities. Assets held in trust for deferred compensation are recorded at fair value and included in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets are invested in mutual funds and classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation liabilities, also classified as Level 1, are carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.

Derivatives. Currently, we use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and classified as Level 2. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including LIBOR rate curves. We also obtain dealer quotations for these derivatives for comparative purposes to assess the reasonableness of the model valuations. We also offer other derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate lock commitments, to our customers and offset our exposure from such contracts by purchasing other financial contracts, which are valued using market consensus prices.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

The following table presents additional information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of financial assets measured on a recurring basis that were categorized within the Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:



	Fair Value at		Valuation	Unobservable
	June 30, 2014		Technique	Input	Range

Residential mortgage-backed securities	$	573	Discounted cash flows	Constant pre-payment rates
				(CPR) assumption	1% - 3% CPR
Corporate bonds	5,043		Discounted cash flows	Credit assumption	20% Loss

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company's policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

Balance, ending of period	$	5,616		$	5,950

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Impaired Loans. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral (90% at June 30, 2014), the Company obtains a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value

The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets and non-financial long-lived assets.

Other Real Estate and Repossessed Vehicles Owned (Foreclosed Assets). Foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Non-Financial Long-Lived Assets. Non-financial long-lived assets, when determined to be impaired, are measured and reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are included in the table below (in thousands):



	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Impaired loans	$	99,384	Appraisal of collateral	Appraisal adjustments - sales costs	5% - 10%
Foreclosed assets	35,728		Appraisal of collateral	Appraisal adjustments - sales costs	5% - 10%

ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of 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. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its other financial instruments:

Cash and due from banks, interest earning deposits with banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

Securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are determined by quoted prices in active markets, when available, and classified as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities and classified as Level 2. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are classified as Level 3.

Non-marketable securities - FHLB and FRB Stock: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

Loans: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using the corporate bond curve adjusted for liquidity for commercial loans and the swap curve adjusted for liquidity for retail loans.

Non-interest bearing deposits: The fair values disclosed are equal to their balance sheet carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand.

Interest bearing deposits: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amounts payable on demand. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar terms.

Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less approximate their fair values. The fair value of short-term borrowings greater than 90 days is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

Long-term borrowings: The fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings (other than deposits) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Junior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts: The fair values of the Company's junior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts are estimated based on the quoted market prices, when available, of the related trust preferred security instruments, or are estimated based on the quoted market prices of comparable trust preferred securities.

Accrued interest: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Company’s off-balance-sheet lending commitments (guarantees, letters of credit and commitments to extend credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

Note 14.	Stock Incentive Plans

ASC Topic 718 requires that the grant date fair value of equity awards to employees be recognized as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such award.

The following table summarizes the impact of the Company’s share-based payment plans in the financial statements for the periods shown (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Total cost of share-based payment plans during the period	$	2,243	$	1,212	$	4,255	$	2,472
Amount of related income tax benefit recognized in income	880		482		1,670		$	983

The Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in 1997. On May 28, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the third amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Plan to add 3,100,000 authorized shares for a total of 11,400,000 shares of common stock authorized to be utilized in connection with awards under the Omnibus Plan to directors, officers, and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The amended and restated plan provides that if and when the Taylor Capital merger is completed, an additional 2,400,000 shares will be authorized, increasing the total number of shares authorized to 13,800,000. Equity grants under the Omnibus Plan can be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Shares awarded in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, or other stock-based awards generally will reduce the shares available under the Omnibus Plan on a 2-for-1 basis. Following May 28, 2014, no more than 10% of the total number of authorized shares may be issued with respect to awards granted after that date, other than stock appreciation rights, stock options and performance-based awards, which at the date of grant are scheduled to fully vest prior to three years from the date of grant (although such awards may provide scheduled vesting earlier with respect to some of such shares and for acceleration of vesting as provided in the Omnibus Plan). As of June 30, 2014, there were 4,043,347 shares available for future grants.

Prior to 2014, annual equity-based incentive awards were typically granted to selected officers and employees mid-year. In 2014, these awards began being granted in the first quarter of the year. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to no less than the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest over four years of service and have 10-year contractual terms. Restricted shares and units typically vest over a two to four year period. Equity awards may also be granted at other times throughout the year in connection with the recruitment and retention of officers and employees. Directors currently may elect, in lieu of cash, to receive up to 70% of their fees in stock options with a five year term, which are fully vested on the grant date (provided that the director may not sell the underlying shares for at least six months after the grant date), and up to 100% of their fees in restricted shares, which vest one year after the grant date.

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2013	2,443,752		$	27.57

Options outstanding as of June 30, 2014	2,540,235		$	28.04	4.63	$	6,648
Options exercisable as of June 30, 2014	1,714,949		$	30.38	3.00	$	2,968

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility and the expectations of future volatility of Company shares. The risk free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the

time of the grant. The expected life of options is estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to remain outstanding.

The following assumptions were used for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	June 30, 2014
Risk-free interest rate	1.84		%
Expected volatility of Company’s stock	23.21		%
Expected dividend yield	1.62		%
Expected life of options	5.7 years
Weighted average fair value per option of options granted during the year	$	6.05

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $874 thousand and $127 thousand, respectively.

The following is a summary of changes in restricted shares and units for the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	Number of Shares and Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2013	685,719		$	22.59
Granted	259,432		30.58
Vested	(37,277	)	21.65
Forfeited	(13,879	)	24.33
Shares Outstanding at June 30, 2014	893,995		$	24.92

The total intrinsic value of restricted shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.1 million and $317 thousand, respectively.

The Company issued 48,569, 56,752 and 65,333 market-based restricted stock units in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which entitle recipients to shares of common stock at the end of a three year vesting period. Recipients will earn shares, totaling between 0% and 175% of the number of units issued, based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to a specified peer group of financial institutions over the three year period. The market-based restricted stock units are included in the preceding table as if the recipients earned shares equal to 100% of the units issued. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to value the market-based restricted stock units at the time of issuance.

The Company issued 92,717 shares of market-based restricted stock in 2011. The market component of the vesting terms for the award requires that, for ten consecutive trading days, the closing price of the Company’s stock be at least $27.00. The market component for this award has been satisfied as of June 30, 2014 and will vest in full in the third quarter of 2014, on the third anniversary of the grant date. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to value the market-based restricted stock awards at the time of issuance.

As of June 30, 2014, there was $17.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements (including share option and nonvested share awards) granted under the Omnibus Plan. At June 30, 2014, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized was approximately 2.7 years.


Note 15.	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company offers various derivatives, including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts, to our customers which can mitigate our exposure to market risk through the execution of off-setting positions with inter-bank dealer counterparties. This also permits the Company to offer customized risk management solutions to our customers. These customer accommodations and any offsetting financial contracts are treated as non-designated derivative instruments and carried at fair value through an adjustment to the income statement.

Interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. The net amount payable or receivable under interest rate swaps is accrued as an adjustment to interest income. The net amount payable as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $25 thousand, and the net amount payable as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $25 thousand. The Company's credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the Company's net favorable value and interest payments of all swaps to each counterparty. In such cases, collateral is generally required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the swaps exceeds a nominal amount. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s credit exposure relating to interest rate swaps was approximately $15.7 million, which is secured by the underlying collateral on customer loans.

The Company also enters into mortgage banking derivatives which are classified as non-designated derivatives. These derivatives include interest rate lock commitments provided to customers to fund certain mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of such loans. It is the Company's practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of future changes in interest rates on its commitments to fund the loans as well as on its portfolio of mortgage loans held-for-sale.

The Company had fair value commercial loan interest rate swaps, to hedge its interest rate risk, with an aggregate notional amount of $218 thousand at June 30, 2014. For fair value hedges, the changes in fair values of both the hedging derivative and the hedged item were recorded in current earnings as other income.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are summarized below as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 13 to consolidated financial statements.

Certain instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement are eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet. The instruments and transactions would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The Company’s derivative transactions with financial institution counterparties are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions. Under these agreements, there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts, and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. The Company, however, does not generally offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

Note 16.	Operating Segments

The Company's operations consist of two reportable operating segments: banking and leasing. The Company offers different products and services through its two segments, and the regulatory environment is significantly different for banking compared to leasing. The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those of the consolidated company.

The banking segment generates its revenues primarily from its lending and deposit gathering activities. The profitability of this segment's operations depends primarily on its net interest income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses is dependent on changes in its loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The banking segment is also subject to an extensive system of laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of customers and depositors. These laws and regulations govern such areas as capital, permissible activities, allowance for loan losses, loans and investments, and rates of interest that can be charged on loans.

The leasing segment generates its revenues through lease originations and related services offered through the Company's leasing subsidiaries, LaSalle Systems Leasing, Inc. and Celtic Leasing Corp. The leasing subsidiaries invest directly in equipment that we lease (referred to as direct finance, leveraged or operating leases) to "Fortune 1000," large middle-market companies and healthcare providers located throughout the United States. The lease portfolio is made up of various kinds of equipment, generally technology related, such as computer systems, satellite equipment, medical equipment and general manufacturing equipment. The leasing subsidiaries also specialize in selling third party equipment maintenance contracts to large companies.

Net interest income for the leasing segment includes adjustments based on the Company's internal funds transfer pricing model as well as interest on loans originated for the sole purpose of funding equipment purchases related to leases at the Company's lease subsidiaries. The provision for credit losses and non-interest expense for the leasing segment includes adjustments for internal allocations of certain expenses.

The following tables present summary financial information for the reportable segments (in thousands):

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of MB Financial, Inc.’s financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The words “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MB Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise.

Overview

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses is dependent on changes in our loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of our loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions.

Our net income is also affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses. During the periods under report, non-interest income included revenue from our key fee initiatives: capital markets and international banking fees, commercial deposit and treasury management fees, net lease financing income, trust and asset management fees, and card fees. Non-interest income also included loan service fees, consumer and other deposit service fees, brokerage fees, net gain (loss) on investment securities, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, net gain (loss) on sale of assets, accretion of the FDIC indemnification asset, net gains on sale of loans and other operating income. During the periods under report, non-interest expenses included salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, computer services and telecommunication expense, advertising and marketing expense, professional and legal expense, other intangibles amortization expense, net loss on other real estate owned, other real estate expenses (net of rental income) and other operating expenses.

Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Non-interest income and non-interest expenses are impacted by growth of banking and leasing operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through both acquisitions and core banking and leasing business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses primarily as a result of additional employee, branch facility and promotional marketing expense. Growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts affects other income, including service fees as well as other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses. Non-performing asset levels impact salaries and benefits, legal expenses and other real estate owned expenses.

The Company had net income of $23.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net income of $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Fully diluted earnings per common share were $0.42 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.46 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company had net income of $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net income of $50.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Fully diluted earnings per common share were $0.78 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.92 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. This preparation requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflected in the financial statements. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Management believes the following policies are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require subjective or complex judgments; therefore, management considers the following to be critical accounting policies. Management has reviewed the application of these polices with the Compliance and Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments in management's evaluation process used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which combines several factors: management's ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of past loan loss experience, trends in past due and non-performing loans, risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect probable credit losses. Because current economic conditions can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan losses, and therefore the adequacy of the allowance, could change significantly. As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require that certain loan balances be charged off when their credit evaluations differ from those of management or require that adjustments be made to the allowance for loan losses, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. We believe the allowance for loan losses is appropriate and properly recorded in the financial statements. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” section below for further analysis.

Residual Value of Our Direct Finance, Leveraged, and Operating Leases. Lease residual value represents the present value of the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination date of the lease. Realization of these residual values depends on many factors, including management’s use of estimates, assumptions, and judgment to determine such values. Several other factors outside of management’s control may reduce the residual values realized, including general market conditions at the time of expiration of the lease, whether there has been technological or economic obsolescence or unusual wear and tear on, or use of, the equipment and the cost of comparable equipment. If, upon the expiration of a lease, we sell the equipment and the amount realized is less than the recorded value of the residual interest in the equipment, we will recognize a loss reflecting the difference. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease residuals for potential impairment. If we fail to realize our aggregate recorded residual values, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate residual value of the equipment leased under our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases totaled $76.4 million. See Note 1 and Note 6 of our December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information.

Income Tax Accounting. ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold that a tax position must meet to be recognized in the financial statements. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $82 thousand of uncertain tax positions. The Company elects to treat interest and penalties recognized for the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense. However, interest and penalties imposed by taxing authorities on issues specifically addressed in ASC Topic 740 will be taken out of the tax reserves up to the amount allocated to interest and penalties. The amount of interest and penalties exceeding the amount allocated in the tax reserves will be treated as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $9 thousand of accrued interest related to tax reserves. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of, and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and parameters are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in

market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, the Company would use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement.

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion on the Company’s use of fair valuation of assets and liabilities and the related measurement techniques.

Goodwill. The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired consists of goodwill, and core deposit and client relationship intangibles. See Note 8 of our December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for further information regarding core deposit and client relationship intangibles. The Company reviews goodwill to determine potential impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired, by comparing the carrying value of the reporting units with the fair value of the reporting units.

The Company’s annual assessment date for goodwill impairment testing is as of December 31. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units: banking and leasing. No impairment losses were recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. We are not aware of any events or circumstances subsequent to our annual goodwill impairment testing date of December 31, 2013 that would indicate impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Refer to Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Net Interest Income

The following tables present, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the related yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities, and the related costs, expressed both in dollars and rates (dollars in thousands). The tables below and the discussion that follows contain presentations of net interest income and net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis, which is adjusted for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, as it provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Reconciliations of net interest income and net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis to net interest income and net interest margin in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are provided in the table.

(3) Loans held for sale are included in the average loan balance listed. Related interest income is included in loan interest income.

(4) Non-taxable loan and investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate.

(5) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities and is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis.

(6) Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $675 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to higher yields on taxable investment securities partly offset by lower loan yields. The net interest margin, expressed on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.53% for the second quarter of 2014 and 3.61% for the second quarter of 2013. This eight basis point decrease was primarily due to higher cash balances held during the second quarter of 2014 as a result of the strong deposit inflows. Higher deposits and cash balances had minimal impact on net interest income.

Non-interest expenses include $488 thousand in expenses related to the pending merger with Taylor Capital Group, Inc. ("Taylor Capital"), mainly for advertising and marketing, computer services and telecommunication, and professional and legal services expenses.


•	Salaries and employee benefits increased due to annual salary increases, long-term incentive expense, taxes and temporary staffing needs.


•	A net loss was recognized on other real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a net gain for the same period in the prior year.


•	Other operating expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in filing and other loan expense as well as higher FDIC assessments due to our larger balance sheet, an increase in the clawback liability related to our loss share agreements with the FDIC, and higher currency delivery expenses related to new treasury management accounts.


•	Computer services and telecommunication expenses increased due primarily to an increase in spending on IT security, data warehouse, investments in our key fee initiatives, as well as higher transaction volumes in leasing, treasury management and card areas. The increase was also due to increased telecommunication expense related to the transitioning to a new provider.

Non-interest expenses include $1.2 million in expenses related to the pending merger with Taylor Capital, mainly for advertising and marketing, computer services and telecommunication, and professional and legal services expenses.


•	Other operating expenses increased due to a $2.0 million write-off recognized in the first quarter of 2014 of an investment in low-income housing funds that invested in real estate projects. This investment was made in 2006 as a community development initiative. The extended slow real estate recovery in some low income areas of Chicago negatively impacted this investment.


•	Other operating expenses also increased as a result of an increase in filing and other loan expense as well as higher FDIC assessments due to our larger balance sheet, higher ATM and debit card processing costs and higher currency delivery expenses related to new treasury management accounts.


•	Salaries and employee benefits increased due to annual salary increases, long-term incentive expense, taxes and temporary staffing needs.


•	A net loss was recognized on other real estate owned for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a net gain for the same period in the prior year.


•	Computer services and telecommunication expenses increased due primarily to an increase in spending on IT security, data warehouse, investments in our key fee initiatives, as well as higher transaction volumes in leasing, treasury management and card areas. The increase was also due to increased telecommunication expense related to the transitioning to a new provider.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $15.6 million compared to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our pre-tax income during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $177.3 million, or 1.8%, from $9.6 billion at December 31, 2013 to $9.8 billion at June 30, 2014.


•	Cash and cash equivalents increased $287.8 million, or 60.8% from $473.5 million at December 31, 2013 to $761.3 million at June 30, 2014 primarily due to the deposit inflows.


•	Investment securities increased $94.9 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 mostly as a result of the partial deployment of the increased deposits.


•	Gross loans, excluding covered loans, decreased by $55.1 million to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2014 from December 31, 2013.

Total liabilities increased by $138.6 million, or 1.7%, from $8.3 billion at December 31, 2013 to $8.5 billion at June 30, 2014.


•	Total deposits increased by $381.8 million, or 5.2%, to $7.8 billion at June 30, 2014 from December 31, 2013 due to the increase in low cost deposits (noninterest bearing deposits, money market and NOW accounts and savings accounts).


•	Over the past year and quarter, our deposit mix continued to improve as low cost deposits increased by $614.7 million, or 10.6%, compared to June 30, 2013 and by $496.1 million, or 8.4%, compared to December 31, 2013. This improvement was driven by the growth in noninterest bearing deposits which were 34% of total deposits at June 30, 2014.


•	Noninterest bearing deposits increased by 16.8% and 9.7% compared to June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


•	Total borrowings decreased by $254.3 million, or 35.9%, to $453.3 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease in total borrowings was primarily due to the repayment of the $300.0 million FHLB advance entered into the fourth quarter of 2013 to increase our balance sheet liquidity in preparation for an adverse market reaction to the Federal government shutdown and potential breach of the debt ceiling.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $38.6 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of our earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 partly offset by dividends.

As of the date of the transfer, the resulting unrealized holding gain continues to be reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. This unrealized gain will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment.

(2)	Gross loan balances at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 30, 2013 are net of unearned income, including net deferred loans fees of $1.0 million, $1.9 million, and $955 thousand, respectively.

Gross loans, excluding covered loans, decreased by $55.1 million to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2014 from December 31, 2013. Gross loans decreased by $155.8 million to $5.6 billion at June 30, 2014 from $5.7 billion at December 31, 2013.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans include loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal. Management reviews the loan portfolio for problem loans on an ongoing basis. During the ordinary course of business, management becomes aware of borrowers that may not be able to meet the contractual requirements of loan agreements. These loans are placed under close supervision with consideration given to placing the loan on non-accrual status, increasing the allowance for loan losses and (if appropriate) partial or full charge-off. After a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not yet collected is reversed against current income. Generally, if interest payments are received on non-accrual loans, these payments will be applied to principal and not taken into income. Loans will not be placed back on accrual status unless back interest and principal payments are made. Our general policy is to place loans 90 days past due on non-accrual status, as well as those loans that continue to pay, but display a well-defined material weakness.

Non-performing loans exclude purchased credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of the Heritage, InBank, Corus, Benchmark, Broadway, and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions. Fair value of these loans as of acquisition includes estimates of credit losses. See Note 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding purchased credit-impaired loans.

The following table sets forth the amounts of non-performing loans and non-performing assets at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Accruing restructured loans consists primarily of residential real estate and home equity loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms.

A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that leads to a restructuring of the loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, extension of maturity date and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. A loan that is modified at a market rate of interest may no longer be classified as troubled debt restructuring in the calendar year subsequent to the restructuring if it is in compliance with the modified terms. Payment performance prior and subsequent to the restructuring is taken into account in assessing whether it is likely that the borrower can meet the new terms. This may result in the loan being returned to accrual at the time of restructuring. A period of sustained repayment for at least six months generally is required for return to accrual status.

Occasionally, the Company will restructure a note into two separate notes (A/B structure), charging off the entire B portion of the note. The A note is structured with appropriate loan-to-value and cash flow coverage ratios that provide for a high likelihood of repayment. The A note is classified as a non-performing note until the borrower has displayed a historical payment performance for a reasonable time prior to and subsequent to the restructuring. A period of sustained repayment for at least six months generally is required to return the note to accrual status provided that management has determined that the performance is reasonably expected to continue. The A note will be classified as a restructured note (either performing or non-performing) through the calendar year of the restructuring that the historical payment performance has been established.

Non-performing assets consists of non-performing loans as well as other repossessed assets and other real estate owned. Other real estate owned represents properties acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings and is recorded at fair value less the estimated cost of disposal at the date of acquisition. Other real estate owned is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value. Valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated costs of disposal are recorded as necessary. Gains and losses and changes in valuations on other real estate owned are included in net gain (loss) recognized on other real estate within non-interest expense. Expenses, net of rental income, from the operations of other real estate owned are reflected as a separate line item on the income statement. Other repossessed assets primarily consist of repossessed vehicles. Losses on repossessed vehicles are charged-off to the allowance when title is taken and the vehicle is valued. Once MB Financial Bank obtains title, repossessed vehicles are not included in loans, but are classified as “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. The typical holding period for resale of repossessed automobiles is less than 90 days unless significant repairs to the vehicle are needed which occasionally results in a longer holding period. The typical holding period for motorcycles can be more than 90 days, as the average motorcycle re-sale period is longer than the average automobile re-sale period. The longer average period for motorcycles is a result of cyclical trends in the motorcycle market.

Other real estate owned that is related to our FDIC-assisted transactions is excluded from non-performing assets. Other real estate owned related to the Heritage, Benchmark, Broadway, and New Century transactions, which totaled $12.6 million and $19.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is subject to the loss-share agreements with the FDIC. See Note 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Potential Problem Loans

We define potential problem loans as performing loans rated substandard and that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan (See “Asset Quality” section above for non-performing loans). We do not necessarily expect to realize losses on potential problem loans, but we recognize potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management. The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of potential problem loans at the dates indicated (in thousands):



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

Commercial loans	$	21,083	$	43,844
Commercial loans collateralized by assignment of lease payments	2,536		2,459
Commercial real estate	39,858		32,895
Construction real estate	—		391
Total	$	63,477	$	79,589

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Selection and application of this “critical accounting policy” involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are subject to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable possibility.

We maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level that management believes is appropriate to absorb probable losses on existing loans based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans, underlying collateral and prior loss experience.

Our allowance for loan losses is comprised of three elements: a commercial related general loss reserve; a commercial related specific reserve for impaired loans; and a consumer related reserve for smaller-balance homogenous loans. Each element is discussed below.

Commercial Related General Loss Reserve. We maintain a general loan loss reserve for the four categories of commercial-related loans in our portfolio: commercial loans, commercial loans collateralized by the assignment of lease payments (lease loans), commercial real estate loans and construction real estate loans.

Under our loan risk rating system, each loan, with the exception of those included in large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous consumer related loans, is risk rated between one and nine by the originating loan officer, Senior Credit Management, Loan Review or any loan committee. Loans rated "one" represent those loans least likely to default and a loan rated "nine" represents a loss. The probability of loans defaulting for each risk rating, sometimes referred to as default factors, are estimated based on the frequency with which loans migrate from one risk rating to another and to default status over time. We use a loan loss reserve model that incorporates the migration of loan risk ratings and historical default data over a multi-year period to develop our estimated default factors (EDFs). The model tracks annual loan rating migrations by loan type and currently uses loan risk rating migrations for 13 years. The migration data is adjusted by using average losses for an economic cycle (approximately 12 years) to develop EDFs by loan type, risk rating and maturity. EDFs are updated annually in December.

Estimated loan default factors are multiplied by individual loan balances in each risk-rating category and again multiplied by an historical loss given default estimate for each loan type (which incorporates estimated recoveries) to determine the appropriate allowance by loan type. This approach is applied to the commercial, lease, commercial real estate, and construction real estate components of the portfolio.

To account for current economic conditions, the general allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) also includes adjustments for macroeconomic factors. Macroeconomic factors adjust the ALLL upward or downward based on the current point in the economic cycle using predictive economic data and are applied to the loan loss model through a separate allowance element for the commercial, commercial real estate, construction real estate and lease loan components. To determine our macroeconomic factors, we use specific economic data that has shown to be a statistically reliable predictor of our credit losses relative to our long term average credit losses. We tested over 20 economic variables (U.S. manufacturing index, unemployment rate, U.S. GDP growth, etc.). We annually review this data to determine that such a relationship continues to exist. We currently use the following macroeconomic indicators in our macroeconomic factor computation:

Commercial loans and lease loans: Japanese bilateral dollar exchange, our prior period charge-off rates and the consumer confidence index.

Commercial real estate loans and construction loans: Prime rate, our prior period charge-off rates and the annual change in the U.S. commercial real estate index.

Using the indicators noted above, a predicted charge-off percentage is calculated. The predicted charge-off percentage is then compared to the cycle average charge-off percentage used in our EDF computation discussed above, and a macroeconomic adjustment factor is calculated. The macroeconomic adjustment factor is applied to each commercial loan type. Each year, we review the predictive nature of the macroeconomic factors by comparing actual charge-offs to the predicted model charge-offs, re-run our regression analysis and re-calibrate the macroeconomic factors as appropriate.

The commercial related general loss reserve was $70.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and $78.3 million as of December 31, 2013. The decrease in the general reserve related primarily to an improvement in risk ratings. Reserves on impaired commercial related loans are included in the “Commercial Related Specific Reserves” section below.

Commercial Related Specific Reserves. Our allowance for loan losses also includes specific reserves on impaired commercial loans. A loan is considered to be impaired when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrower's financial condition is such that the collection of all contractual principal and interest payments due is doubtful.

At each quarter-end, impaired commercial loans are reviewed individually, with adjustments made to the general calculated reserve for each loan as deemed necessary. Specific adjustments are made depending on expected cash flows and/or the value of the collateral securing each loan. Generally, the Company obtains a current external appraisal (within 12 months) on real estate secured impaired loans. Our appraisal policy is designed to comply with the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, most recently updated in December 2010. As part of our compliance with these guidelines, we maintain an internal Appraisal Review Department that engages and reviews all third party appraisals.

In addition, each impaired commercial loan with real estate collateral is reviewed quarterly by our appraisal department to determine that the most recent valuation remains appropriate during subsequent quarters until the next appraisal is received. If considered necessary by our appraisal department, the appraised value may be further discounted by internally applying accepted appraisal methodologies to an older appraisal. Accepted appraisal methodologies include: income capitalization approach adjusting for changes in underlying leases, adjustments related to condominium projects with units sales, adjustments for loan fundings, and “As is” compared to “As Stabilized” valuations.

Other valuation techniques are also used to value non-real estate assets. Discounts may be applied in the impairment analysis used for general business assets (GBA). Examples of GBA include accounts receivable, inventory, and any marketable securities pledged. The discount is used to reflect collection risk in the event of default that may not have been included in the valuation of the asset.

The total commercial related specific reserves component of the allowance decreased from $12.8 million as of December 31, 2013 to $10.3 million as of June 30, 2014.

Consumer Related Reserves. Pools of homogenous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics are also assessed for probable losses. These loan pools include consumer, residential real estate, home equity, credit cards and indirect vehicle loans. Migration probabilities obtained from past due roll rate analyses and historical loss rates are applied to current balances to forecast charge-offs over a one-year time horizon. The reserves for consumer related loans totaled $19.8 million at June 30, 2014 and $20.6 million at December 31, 2013.

We consistently apply our methodology for determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses but may adjust our methodologies and assumptions based on historical information related to charge-offs and management's evaluation of the loan portfolio. In this regard, we periodically review the following to validate our allowance for loan losses: historical net charge-offs as they relate to prior periods' allowance for loan loss, comparison of historical loan migration in past years compared to the current year, overall credit trends and ratios and any significant changes in loan concentrations. In reviewing this data, we adjust qualitative factors within our allowance methodology to appropriately reflect any changes warranted by the validation process. Management believes it has established an allowance for probable loan losses as appropriate under GAAP.

The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Ratio of net charge-offs to average loans	0.18			(0.02		)	0.32			0.12

Net charge-offs of $8.8 million were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net charge-offs of $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. A negative provision for credit losses of $800 thousand was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a provision for credit losses of $500 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of reduced levels of classified and special mention assets.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are charged to earnings through the provision for credit losses, are determined based on a variety of factors, including specific reserves, current loan risk ratings, delinquent loans, historical loss experience and economic conditions in our market area. In addition, federal regulatory authorities, as part of the examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The regulators may require us to record adjustments to the allowance level based upon their assessment of the information available to them at the time of examination. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses.

We utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. At scheduled meetings of the board of directors of MB Financial Bank, a watch list is presented, showing significant loan relationships listed as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” and “Doubtful.” An asset is classified Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and viewed as valueless assets and have been charged-

off. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses that deserve management's close attention are deemed to be Special Mention.

Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, MB Financial Bank's primary regulator, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. There can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to materially adjust our allowance for loan losses. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of adequate allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that (1) institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; (2) management has analyzed all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and (3) management has established acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. We analyze our process regularly, with modifications made if needed, and report those results four times per year at meetings of our board of directors. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to materially adjust our allowance for loan losses at the time of their examination.

Although management believes that appropriate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.

Lease Investments

The lease portfolio is comprised of various types of equipment, generally technology related, including computer systems and satellite equipment, material handling and general manufacturing equipment.

Lease investments by categories follow (in thousands):



	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013			June 30, 2013
Direct finance leases:
Minimum lease payments	$	190,216		$	155,945		$	124,549

Less accumulated depreciation	(91,494		)	(87,384		)	(91,583		)
Lease investments, net	$	127,194		$	131,089		$	113,958

(1) Direct finance and leveraged leases are included as commercial loans collateralized by assignment of lease payments for financial statement purposes.

Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risk related to the equipment ownership are classified as direct finance leases. If these direct finance leases have non-recourse debt associated with them and meet the additional requirements for a leveraged lease, they are further classified as leverage leases, and the associated debt is netted with the outstanding balance in the consolidated financial statements. Interest income on direct finance and leveraged leases is recognized using methods which approximate a level yield over the term of the lease. Operating leases are investments in equipment leased to other companies, where the residual component makes up more than 10% of the investment. The Company funds most of the lease equipment

purchases internally, but has some loans at other banks which totaled $27.0 million at June 30, 2014, $17.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $18.0 million at June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, the following reflects the residual values for leases by category in the year the initial lease term ends (in thousands):



	Residual Values
	Direct
End of initial lease term	Finance		Leveraged		Operating
December 31,	Leases		Leases		Leases		Total
2014	$	8,384	$	210	$	8,633	$	17,227
2015	7,504		968		8,302		16,774
2016	6,463		607		10,141		17,211
2017	4,335		105		8,501		12,941
2018	1,763		18		6,081		7,862
Thereafter	1,860		—		2,484		4,344
	$	30,309	$	1,908	$	44,142	$	76,359

The lease residual value represents the present value of the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the lease. Lease residual values are reviewed quarterly, and any write-downs or charge-offs deemed necessary are recorded in the period in which they become known. To mitigate this risk of loss, we usually limit individual leased equipment residuals to approximately $500 thousand per transaction and seek to diversify both the type of equipment leased and the industries in which the lessees participate. Often times, there are several individual lease schedules under one master lease. There were 3,569 leases at June 30, 2014 compared to 3,590 at December 31, 2013. The average residual value per lease schedule was approximately $21 thousand at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The average residual value per master lease schedule was approximately $83 thousand at June 30, 2014 and $82 thousand at December 31, 2013, respectively.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Our cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities.

Cash flows from operating activities primarily include net income, adjusted for items in net income that did not impact cash. Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $101.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of $60.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change is primarily due to the decrease in payables partly offset by the decrease in the change in other assets.

Cash used in investing activities reflects the impact of loans and investment securities acquired for the Company’s interest-earning asset portfolios, as well as cash flows from asset sales and the impact of acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net cash flows provided by investing activities of $71.7 million compared to net cash flows provided by investing activities of $235.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change was primarily due to a decrease in principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities.

Cash flows from financing activities include transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from depositors, creditors or investors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net cash flows provided by financing activities of $114.4 million compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $150.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to the increase in deposits partly offset by the repayment of the $300.0 million FHLB advance.

In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed, we have established relationships with several large and regional banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. While, at June 30, 2014, there were no firm lending commitments in place, management believes that we could borrow approximately $280 million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. Additionally, we are a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $4.2 million outstanding in FHLB advances, and could borrow an additional amount of approximately $480.4 million. As a contingency plan for significant funding needs, the Asset/Liability Committee may also consider the sale of investment securities, selling securities under agreement to repurchase, or the temporary curtailment of lending activities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.4 billion of unpledged securities, excluding securities available for pledge at the FHLB.

Our main sources of liquidity at the holding company level are dividends from MB Financial Bank and cash on hand. In addition, the Company has a $35.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank. As of June 30, 2014, no amount was outstanding. The holding company had $154.7 million in cash as of June 30, 2014.

See Notes 9 and 10 of the Financial Statements presented under Item 1 of this report for details of period end balances and other information for these various funding sources. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Company’s contractual obligations at June 30, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013.

MB Financial Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements which affect its ability to pay dividends to us. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Additionally, our current internal policy effectively limits the amount of dividends our subsidiary bank may pay to us by requiring the bank to maintain total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios of 12.00%, 9.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The minimum ratios required for a bank to be considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes are 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively. In addition to adhering to our policy, there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of national banks to pay dividends. See “Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 17.18%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 15.92% and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 11.61%.

MB Financial Bank was categorized as “Well-Capitalized” at June 30, 2014 under the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin are contained in the tables under “Net Interest Margin.”

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk and Asset Liability Management

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of our assets, liabilities, and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that our net income will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes. Market risk is managed operationally in our Treasury Group and is addressed through a selection of funding and hedging instruments supporting balance sheet growth, as well as monitoring our asset investment strategies.

Asset Liability Management. Management and our Treasury Group continually monitor our sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is our policy to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The strategy we employ to manage our interest rate risk is to measure our risk using an asset/liability simulation model. The model considers several factors to determine our potential exposure to interest rate risk, including measurement of repricing gaps, duration, convexity, value at risk, and the market value of portfolio equity under assumed changes in the level of interest rates, shape of the yield curves, and general market volatility. Management controls our interest rate exposure using several strategies, which include adjusting the maturities of securities in our investment portfolio, and limiting fixed rate loans or fixed rate deposits with terms of more than five years. We also use derivative instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage our interest rate risk. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk can come in a variety of forms, including repricing risk, yield curve risk, basis risk, and prepayment risk. We experience repricing risk when the change in the average yield of our interest earning assets or average rate of our interest bearing liabilities is more sensitive than the other to changes in market interest rates. Such a change in sensitivity could reflect a number of possible mismatches in the repricing opportunities of our assets and liabilities.

In the event that yields on our assets and liabilities do adjust to changes in market rates to the same extent, we may still be exposed to yield curve risk. Yield curve risk reflects the possibility the changes in the shape of the yield curve could have different effects on our assets and liabilities.

Variable rate assets and liabilities that reprice at similar times, have similar maturities or repricing dates, are based on different indexes still have interest rate risk. Basis risk reflects the possibility that indexes will not move in a coordinated manner.

We hold mortgage-related investments, including mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. Prepayment risk is associated with mortgage-related investments and results from homeowners’ ability to pay off their mortgage loans prior to maturity. We limit this risk by restricting the types of mortgage-backed securities we own to those with limited average life changes under certain interest-rate shock scenarios, or securities with embedded prepayment penalties.

Measuring Interest Rate Risk. As noted above, interest rate risk can be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing

liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, therefore, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2014 that we anticipate, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined based on the earlier of the term to repricing or the term to repayment of the asset or liability. The table is intended to provide an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2014 based on contractual maturities and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be reinvested and/or repriced because of contractual amortization and rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Loan and investment securities’ contractual maturities and amortization reflect expected prepayment assumptions. While NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts have adjustable rates, it is assumed that the interest rates on some of the accounts will not adjust immediately to changes in other interest rates.

Therefore, the information in the table is calculated assuming that NOW, money market and savings deposits will reprice as follows: 4%, 10%, and 6%, respectively, in the first three months, 11%, 26%, and 15%, respectively, in the next nine months, 52%, 58%, and 57%, respectively, from one year to five years, and 33%, 6%, and 22%, respectively over five years (dollars in thousands):

GAP/RSA	72.63			46.83			36.93			33.85			33.85

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, in the event of a

change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Therefore, we do not rely on a gap analysis to manage our interest rate risk, but rather we use what we believe to be the more reliable simulation model relating to changes in net interest income.

Based on simulation modeling which assumes gradual changes in interest rates over a one-year period, we believe that our net interest income would change due to changes in interest rates as follows (dollars in thousands):



Gradual	Changes in Net Interest Income Over One Year Horizon
Changes in	June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
Levels of	Dollar			Percentage		Dollar			Percentage
Interest Rates	Change			Change		Change			Change
+ 2.00%	$	12,370		4.80	%	$	10,596		3.84	%
+ 1.00%	6,187			2.40		5,554			2.01
- 1.00%	(6,680		)	(2.59	)	(6,553		)	(2.38	)

In the interest rate sensitivity table above, changes in net interest income between June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 reflect changes in the composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, related interest rates, repricing frequencies, and the fixed or variable characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The changes in net interest income incorporate the impact of loan floors as well as shifts from low cost deposits to higher cost certificates of deposit in a rising rate environment.

The assumptions used in our interest rate sensitivity simulation discussed above are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulations cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Our model assumes that a portion of our variable rate loans that have minimum interest rates will remain in our portfolio regardless of changes in the interest rate environment. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out as of June 30, 2014 under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
