ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
UMB Financial Corporation (the "Company") was organized in 1967 under Missouri law for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of 5 commercial banks, a credit card bank, a bank real estate corporation, a reinsurance company, a community development corporation, a consulting company and a mutual fund servicing company.
The Company's 5 commercial banks are engaged in general commercial banking business entirely in domestic markets. The banks, 2 each located in Missouri, one each in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska, offer a full range of banking services to commercial, retail, government and correspondent bank customers. In addition to standard banking functions, the principal affiliate bank, UMB Bank, n.a., provides international banking services, investment and cash management services, data processing services for correspondent banks and a full range of trust activities for individuals, estates, business corporations, governmental bodies and public authorities. A table setting forth the names and locations of the Company's affiliate banks as well as their total assets, loans, deposits and shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2001, is included on page 54 of the attached Appendix, and is incorporated herein by reference.
UMB, U.S.A. n.a. is a credit card bank located in Nebraska. UMB, U.S.A. n.a. services all incoming credit card requests, performs data entry services on new card requests and evaluates new and existing credit lines.
Other subsidiaries of the Company are UMB Properties, Inc., United Missouri Insurance Company, UMB Community Development Corporation, UMB Consulting Services, Inc. and Sunstone Financial Group, Inc. UMB Properties, Inc. is a real estate company that leases facilities to certain subsidiaries and acquires and holds land and buildings for anticipated future facilities. United Missouri Insurance Company, an Arizona corporation, is a reinsurance company that reinsures credit life and disability insurance originated by affiliate banks. UMB Community Development Corporation provides low-cost mortgage loans to low- to moderate-income families for acquiring or rehabing owner-occupied housing in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado. UMB Consulting Services, Inc. offers regulatory and compliance assistance to regional banks. Sunstone Financial Group Inc., located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a nationally recognized mutual fund service provider to nearly forty mutual funds and fund families.
On a full-time equivalent basis at December 31, 2001, UMB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries employed 4,222 persons.
Competition
The commercial banking business is highly competitive. Affiliate banks compete with other commercial banks and with other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, finance companies, mutual funds, mortgage banking companies and credit unions. In recent years, competition has also increased from institutions, such as mutual fund companies, brokerage companies and insurance companies, not subject to the same geographical and other regulatory restrictions as domestic banks and bank holding companies.
Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions
The operations of the Company's affiliate banks are affected by general economic conditions as well as the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") which affects the supply of money available to commercial banks. Monetary policy measures by the Federal Reserve Board are affected through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements.
Supervision and Regulation
As a bank holding company, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation. As a consequence of the regulation of the commercial banking business in the United States, the business of the Company is affected by the enactment of federal and state legislation. The Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA").
The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may (i) acquire substantially all the assets of any bank, (ii) acquire more than 5% of any class of voting stock of a bank or bank holding company which is not already majority owned, or (iii) merge or consolidate with another bank holding company.
Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or performing services for its banking subsidiaries. However, the BHCA authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to permit bank holding companies to engage in activities which are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Federal Reserve Board possesses cease and desist powers over bank holding companies if their actions represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law.
As a result of the enactment of the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, beginning in September, 1995, bank holding companies may acquire banks in any state, subject to state deposit caps and a 10% nationwide cap. Banks may also merge across state lines, creating interstate branches. Furthermore, a bank may open new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations, if the law of that state does not prohibit de novo branching by an out of state bank or if the state has not "opted out" of interstate branching. As a result of the Interstate Banking Act, the Company has many more opportunities for expansion and has potentially greater competition in its market area from nationwide or regional banks.
A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit, with limited exceptions. There are also various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding company and certain of its non-bank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from its bank subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to certain restrictions on issuance, underwriting and distribution of securities. It is Federal Reserve Board policy that a bank holding company, such as the Company, should serve as a source of managerial and financial strength for each of its subsidiaries, and commit resources to them, even in circumstances in which it might not do so in absence of such policy.
Four of the commercial banks owned by the Company are national banks and are subject to supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the Currency. UMB, U.S.A. n.a., a credit card bank, is located in the state of Nebraska and is subject to supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the Currency. The other remaining bank is chartered under the state banking laws of Missouri and is subject to supervision and regular examination by the Missouri Commissioner of Finance. In addition, the national banks are subject to examination by The Federal Reserve System. All affiliate banks are members of and subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are periodically introduced in the United States Congress, state legislatures and various bank regulatory agencies. Included within such proposals are those introduced in the past two years, and those currently pending in Congress, that would among other things permit some cross ownership of the banking, insurance and securities industry. The likelihood and timing of any such proposals or bills, and the impact, if any, that they might have on the Company and its subsidiaries and their operations, cannot be determined at this time.

The following financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of UMB Financial Corporation's (the "Company") consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This review highlights the major factors affecting results of operations and any significant changes in financial condition for the three-year period ending December 31, 2001. It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements, notes to financial statements and other financial statistics appearing elsewhere in this report.
This financial review contains "forward-looking statements" regarding UMB Financial Corporation. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events, based on the information currently available to it. Actual results could differ materially from management's current expectation. The forward-looking statements include among other things, statements relating to the Company's anticipated financial performance, business prospects, new developments, new strategies and similar matters. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are beyond the Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, and that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company's business and include, but are no limited to, the following: 1) changing demand for loans; 2) the ability of customers to repay loans; 3) changes in consumer savings habits; 4) increases in employee costs; 5) changes in interest rates; 6) competition from others, and 7) changes in economic conditions or regulatory requirements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this financial review may not prove to be correct.
Overview
The Company recorded consolidated net income of $65.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This represents a slight increase over 2000 net income of $65.1 million. Net income for 2000 represented a 1.6% increase over 1999 results of $64.1 million. Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001, were $2.95, compared to $2.91 in 2000 and $2.80 in 1999. Earnings per share for 2001 increased 1.4% over 2000 per share earnings, which had increased 3.9% over 1999.
The drop in interest rates due to the eleven rate decreases initiated by the Federal Reserve Bank contributed significantly to a decrease in interest income. However this decrease in interest income was offset by a slightly larger decrease in interest expense. This was caused as the Company saw the rates paid on its interest bearing liabilities decrease at a faster pace than the rates earned on its earning assets. The results of operations for 2000 through May 18, 2001 were affected by the Company's subsidiary eScout LLC (eScout). The sale of a portion of the Company's ownership in eScout on that date put the Company in a minority ownership position. This partial sale resulted in a gain of $1.7 million recorded in other income. Though eScout's income and expense are included in the Company's consolidated statement of income for 2000 and the first five months of 2001, the results of operations of the subsidiary are eliminated from the Company's operating results as an adjustment to minority interest in loss of consolidated subsidiary. Consequently results of operations of this subsidiary do not affect the net income or net income per share of the Company. Comparative results of operations excluding the impact of eScout are presented in Table 16.
The Company had an increase of 12.89% in noninterest income in 2001 as compared to 2000. A large contributing factor to this increase is the acquisition of Sunstone Financial Group, Inc. This acquisition has and is expected to continue to help the Company build its fee-based business and better serve its customers with increased capabilities. Also affecting noninterest income was the acquisition of the corporate trust business of State Street Bank and Trust Company of Missouri, N.A., in May 2001. These new acquisitions also partly caused the increase in the Company's non interest expense, which increased 4.1% in 2001.
Also included in the results for 2001 was a year-end charge of approximately $3.8 million related to the write-off and disposition of certain non-strategic assets, primarily real estate. The Company is in the final stages of consolidating and improving its downtown campus, which will result in better operating workflow and reduced costs. The Company will demolish or sell several of its current properties that are no longer necessary for operations.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is a significant source of the Company's earnings and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expense paid on liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the volumes of interest-earning assets and the related funding sources, the overall mix of these assets and liabilities and the rates paid on each. Table 1 summarizes the changes in net interest income resulting from changes in volume and rates for the prior two years. Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) as a percentage of average earning assets. A critical component of net interest income and related net interest margin is the percentage of earning assets funded by interest-free funding sources. Net interest income, average balance sheet amounts and the corresponding yields earned and rates paid for the years 1997 through 2001 are presented in a table following the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net interest income is presented on a taxequivalent basis to adjust for the tax-exempt status of earnings from certain loans and investments, primarily obligations of state and local governments.
FTE interest income decreased by $48.4 million during 2001 to $398.4 million compared to $446.8 million in 2000. Interest income for 2000 represented a $23.9 million increase over the total for 1999 of $422.9 million. Interest expense in 2001 amounted to $145.1 million, a $51.3 million decrease over 2000 expense of $196.4 million. Interest expense in 2000 increased by $13.1 million from 1999 expense of $183.3 million. These changes resulted in an increase in net FTE interest income for 2001 of $2.9 million to $253.3 million compared to $250.4 million for 2000 and $239.6 million in 1999.
TABLE 1
TAX-EQUIVALENT RATE-VOLUME ANALYSIS (in thousands)
This analysis attributes changes in net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis either to changes in average balances or to changes in average rates for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The change in net interest income is due jointly to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of change in each. All information is presented on a tax-equivalent basis and gives effect to the disallowance of interest expense, for federal income tax purposes, related to certain tax-free assets.

Average earning assets increased by approximately 3.1% in 2001 compared to a decrease of 3.2% in 2000. These assets totaled $6.3 billion in 2001 compared to $6.2 billion in 2000. The increase in average earning assets for 2001 was entirely attributable to the Company's investment security portfolio, which increased by 10.7%. Average loans decreased by 2.5% in 2001 compared to the prior year. The increase in the security portfolio was the result of a need to invest increases in deposits. During 2000, average loans increased by 14.9% compared to a 20.0% decrease in average investment securities. During 2000, the decrease in the security portfolio was used to fund the growth in loans as well as a decrease in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
The Company's net interest spread was 3.21% in 2001, 2.96% in 2000 and 2.93% in 1999. Net interest spread is calculated as the difference between the yield earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest spread for 2001 was the result of lower rates earned on total earning assets, which decreased from 7.26% in 2000 to 6.28% compared to a decrease of 123 basis points in the cost of funds. This change was the result of both a decrease in interest rates and a change in the mix of interest earning assets. As a result of lower interest rates in 2001 coupled with the change in the earning asset mix and the related funding sources, the Company's net interest margin decreased to 4.00% in 2001, compared to 4.07% in 2000 and 3.77% in 1999. During 2001, loans comprised 46% of earning assets, as compared with 49% during 2000. The decrease in interest rates also had an impact on the Company's investment portfolio which achieved a yield of 5.10% in 2001 compared to 6.00% in 2000. In addition, the Company's funding costs decreased to a greater extent than did the change in the yield on earning assets during 2001. Cost of funds decreased by 123 basis points, compared to a 98 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets. The increase in both net interest spread and margin for 2000 was the result of higher rates earned on total earnings assets, which increased to 7.26% from 6.65% in 1999. This change was the result of both an increase in interest rates and a change in the mix of earnings assets. During 2000, loans comprised 49% of earning assets, as compared with 41% in 1999. The increase in interest rates also impacted the Company's investment portfolio, which achieved a yield of 6.00% in 2000 compared to 5.63% in 1999. In addition, the Company's funding costs did not increase to the same extent as the change in the yield on earnings assets during 2000. Cost of funds increased from 1999 by 58 basis points, compared to a 61 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets.
The cause and level of the increase in net interest income in 2001 from that experienced in 2000 can be seen in the information in Table 1. During 2001 the growth in average earning assets was the result of increases in investment securities. The average rate earned on loans during 2001 decreased by 79 basis points as compared to 2000. The Company's cost of funds during 2001 decreased by 123 basis points. During 2000, funds in investment securities were used to fund an increase in higher-yielding loan balances as well as reductions in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, which experienced a significant increase in rates in 2000. The spread earned on the rate increases on average earnings assets was, for the most part, offset by increased cost of funds. The average rate earned on loans during 2000 increased by 39 basis points as compared to 1999, and the average rate earned on investment securities increased by 37 basis points during the same period. The spread earned on this growth was, for the most part, offset by a reduced rate earned on earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Loss
The allowance for loan losses (ALL) represents management's judgment of the losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is the amount necessary to adjust the ALL to the level considered appropriate by management. The adequacy of the ALL is reviewed quarterly, considering such items as historical loss trends, a review of individual loans, current and projected economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration, and other factors. Bank regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the ALL be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis for each of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company utilizes a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and overall credit exposure. In addition, loan requests are centrally reviewed to ensure the consistent application of the loan policy and standards.
TABLE 3
ALLOCATION OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (in thousands)
This table presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan categories. The breakdown is based on a number of qualitative factors; therefore, the amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of actual future charge-offs in any particular category. The percent of loans in each category to total loans is provided in Table 5.

Commercial $18,050 $15,550 $15,000 $16,000 $17,000
Consumer 16,587 15,548 15,343 16,319 15,424
Real estate 750
Agricultural 50
Leases 50
Total allowance $35,637 $31,998 $31,193 $33,169 $33,274
The Company's allowance for loan losses was $35.6 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $32.0 million at year-end 2000. This represents an allowance to total loans of 1.3% and 1.0% as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company's net charge off's in 2001 were $11.1 million compared to $8.4 million in 2000 and $11.3 million in 1999. The allowance for loan losses increased as a result of increases in net losses, and may continue due to the impact that any slowing of the economy may have on the ability of customers to service debt. At December 31, 2001 the allowance for loan losses exceeded total nonperforming loans by $28.4 million.
As shown in Table 3, the ALL has been allocated to various loan portfolio segments. The Company manages the ALL against the risk in the entire loan portfolio and, therefore, the allocation of the ALL to a particular loan segment may change in the future. In the opinion of management, the ALL is adequate based on the inherent losses in the loan portfolio at December 31, 2001. Significant changes in general economic conditions and in the ability of specific customers to repay loans could impact the level of the provision for loan losses required in future years.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $14.7 million during 2001, compared to $9.2 million in 2000 and $8.7 million in 1999. The increase in the loan loss provision in 2000 was primarily the result of the increased balance of the loan portfolio. The decrease in the loan loss provision in 1999 from the previous year was primarily the result of a reduction in losses in bankcard loans. Losses in the bankcard portfolio decreased as delinquencies and bankruptcies in this area improved. The increase in loan loss provision in 2001 was primarily the result of higher charge-offs related to commercial loans and bankcard loans. Decreasing net charge-offs associated with the Company's bankcard portfolio were experienced in 2000 and 1999, and Management anticipates that the losses and delinquency levels of the bankcard portfolio should remain below industry averages. Bankcard loan delinquencies over 30 days totaled 2.4% of total bankcard loans as of year-end 2001 compared to 2.7% at year-end 2000. The Company intends to continue to closely monitor the bankcard loan portfolio, the related collection efforts and underwriting in order to minimize credit losses.
Table 4 presents a five-year summary of the Company's allowance for loan losses.
Noninterest Income
A key objective of the Company is the growth of noninterest income to enhance profitability, since fee-based services are noncredit related, provide steady income and are not directly affected by fluctuations in interest rates. Fee-based services provide the opportunity to offer multiple products and services to customers and, therefore, more closely align the customer with the Company. The Company's goal is to offer multiple products and services to its customers, the quality of which will differentiate it from the competition. Fee-based services that have been emphasized include trust and securities processing, securities trading/brokerage and cash management.
Noninterest income was $222.1 million in 2001 compared to $196.7 million in 2000 and $184.1 million in 1999. This represents a 12.9% increase in 2001 compared to an increase of 6.8% during 2000. The increase in 2001 primarily resulted from a 69.1% increase in securities processing income, 15.6% increase in trading and investment banking fees and a 8.4% increase in deposit service charges. The growth in 2000 was driven by a 34.4% increase in securities processing income, a 6.8% increase in service charges on deposit accounts and an 18.8% increase in bankcard fees.
The Trust Division is the Company's most significant source of fee income. Trust services have long been an identified strength of the Company and are expected to continue to be the primary driver of fee income. The Company offers a full range of trust services including personal and custody services, investment management and employee benefits processing. The Company has a Private Client Services division, which offers full trust and personal banking services to high net worth individuals.
Income from trust services totaled $55.1 million in 2001, $56.3 million in 2000 and $54.0 million in 1999. Included in the 2001 results was the corporate trust business revenue associated with the State street Bank and Trust Company of Missouri, N.A., aquisition. During 2001, increased income was generated by employee benefit services and trust investments, while personal trust declined. This more traditional line of business has generally experienced more steady, moderate growth, but has been more 18 financial review directly impacted by fluctuations in the stock and bond markets. The largest contributor to the increase in trust income for 2000 was from employee benefit services. The next largest contributor to trust income was personal trust and custodial business. Fee revenue in 2001 also was hampered by a reduction in assets under management. The aggregate value of managed trust assets was $12.1 billion at December 31, 2001, compared to $14.5 billion at year-end 2000 and $14.2 billion at year-end 1999.
The Company's securities processing and custody revenue is primarily related to the mutual fund industry. Revenues from securities processing were $30.2 million in 2001, $17.9 million in 2000 and $13.3 million in 1999. The increase in revenue for 2001 was primarily driven by the acquisition of Sunstone Financial Group, Inc. during the second quarter. Sunstone is a nationally recognized mutual fund service provider to nearly forty mutual funds and fund families. With the acquisition, the Company now offers all aspects of a mutual fund back office, including fund administration and accounting, transfer agency, distribution services, marketing, shareholder communications, custody and cash management. The increase in securities processing and custody revenue for 2000 was primarily driven by increased volume from several mutual fund groups that experienced a significant growth in assets during the year. The significant growth in the number and size of mutual funds has given the Company more opportunity to develop new customer relationships and has fueled growth from existing customers. The Company competes with companies many times its size in this line of business. Though the Company may not have the scale of its much larger competitors, it can compete in certain areas due to better attention to customer service and overall flexibility related to services provided. Revenues from this business line may be subject to more volatility than other fee income due to the relative size of the customer base. The Company intends to atempt to adjust its expense structure so that revenue volatility will not significantly impact operating results. Total trust assets under custody remained basically level at $106.5 billion at December 31, 2001 compared to $106.0 billion at December 31, 2000. Trust assets under custody were $103.8 billion at December 31, 1999.

Fees and service charges on deposit accounts were $53.5 million in 2001, $49.3 million in 2000 and $46.2 million in 1999. The increases in fees for 2001 and 2000 were primarily related to corporate deposit accounts as a result of new customer relationships and the sale of additional cash management services. Corporate and retail deposit fees also increased as a result of adjusting fee schedules to changes in market pricing. The level of compensating balances maintained by corporate customers and the earnings credit rate applied to the balances, also impacts the level of fee income received. Movements in the earnings credit rate in 2001 approximated changes in the interest rate on short-term Treasury securities. Other service charges and fees increased to $29.6 million in 2001 from $28.5 million in 2000, which had decreased from $28.8 million in 1999. Increases were achieved in 2001 as a result of increased ATM fees and the sale of cash management services to mutual fund companies. In 2000, modest increases in non-deposit service charges and ATM fees were offset by a decline in cash management services to mutual fund companies. The Company increased its ATM network to 579 machines at year-end 2001, compared to 558 at year-end 2000 and reduced from 608 at year-end 1999. Bankcard fees were $18.1 million in 2001, $15.1 million in 2000 and $12.7 million in 1999.
Trading and investment banking income totaled $22.3 million in 2001, compared to $19.3 million in 2000 and $20.7 million in 1999. The increase in 2001 was mainly market driven, as customers fled the stock market to invest in high quality bonds. The decrease in 2000 was the result of a decrease in security sales to corporate customers, primarily correspondent banks. The funding levels and loan demand of the correspondent bank customers directly impact this volume. Other income was $11.3 million in 2001 compared to $10.3 million in 2000 and $7.8 million in 1999. Included in 2001 was a $1.7 million gain on the sale of part of the Company's ownership interest in eScout. The increase in 2000 resulted primarily from increased data processing services performed for correspondent bank customers and sale of certain non-earning assets.
Noninterest Expense
Total 2001 noninterest expense increased 4.2% to $367.9 million compared to 2000 expense of $353.2 million and 1999 expense of $312.5 million. Included in 2001 and 2000 expenses were $13.4 million and $21.6 million, respectively in charges related to the operations of eScout LLC (eScout), a partially owned subsidiary of the Company. While the results of eScout's operations impact various non-interest income and expense categories of the Company's consolidated statements of income, under the terms of its limited liability operating document, the net results of operations of this subsidiary are allocated to outside minority investors, and therefore, eliminated through an adjustment to minority interest in loss of consolidated subsidiary. Table 16 shows a comparison of the net operating results of the Company excluding eScout.
Costs associated with staffing are the largest component of non-interest expense as they approximate 54% of total operating costs in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 8.0% in 2001 to $198.7 million compared to $184.0 million in 2000 and $166.6 million in 1999. Staffing levels at year-end 2001 increased to 4,222, compared to 3,990 at the end of 2000 and 4,104 at the end of 1999. The increase in staffing costs in 2001 is primarily associated with increased staff due to the company's new acquisitions and increases in medical premiums paid by the company. The decline in staffing levels in 2000 is indicative of the Company's efforts to gain greater efficiencies through automation and centralization of back office functions. The increase in staffing costs in 2001 and 2000, is consistent with the Company's ongoing objective to hire, retain and reward high-quality associates, particularly in strategic and high growth areas of the Company. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company dedicated significant resources to improve its information infrastructure. This spending has included both the upgrades of old legacy systems, as well as investments in new delivery and information systems. Some of the initiatives under way or completed during 2001, 2000 and 1999 include a conversion to a new loan processing system, a conversion to a new network operating system, a conversion to a new teller transaction processing system, a consolidated call center, expanded internet capabilities, an upgrade to the core mainframe computer, a major upgrade of the customer information system, implementation of an integrated financial accounting system, new processing and information systems for trust services and the creation of an enterprise data warehouse. During 1999, the demand for qualified data processing staff increased due to the limited resources available in the marketplace to address the millennium date change, causing the Company's costs in this area to increase. Staffing levels and costs were also affected by the opening of 5 new facilities in 2000, 3 in 1999. These new facilities include mini branches and grocery store branches as well as full service branch facilities. The control of staffing costs, tempered with a view of the long-term strategy of the Company, has been and will continue to be an important goal for the Company. The Company has and intends to take advantage of centralization of the administrative and operational functions when these opportunities arise. At the same time, management will strive to gain efficiencies in its existing products, services and processes.
Occupancy expense increased to $27.7 million in 2001 from $25.4 million in 2000 and $23.3 million in 1999. Equipment expense increased to $50.5 million in 2001 from $47.9 million in 2000 and $37.9 million in 1999. The majority of increases in occupancy and equipment for 2001 can be associated with the new aquisitions. The increases in both 2000 and 1999 occupancy and equipment expense were primarily the result of the expansion efforts noted previously. Purchases of bank premises and equipment totaled $32 million in 2001, $44 million in 2000 and $52 million in 1999.
Expenses for supplies and services were $22.4 million in 2001, compared to $22.7 million in 2000 and $21.7 million in 1999. The decrease in 2001, was mainly due to decrease in telephone charges, especially long distance. The increase in 2000, excluding the impact of eScout, was mainly due to increases in armored truck services resulting from centralization of cash vault functions.
Marketing and business development costs decreased in 2001 to $15.8 million from $20.9 million in 2000 and $16.8 million in 1999. Processing fees increased to $16.8 million in 2001 from $15.3 million in 2000 and $14.1 million in 1999. The increase in 2001 was due to an increase in purchased data processing services. Legal and consulting fees decreased to $7.3 million in 2001 from $8.0 million in 2000 and increased from $5.0 million in 1999. The increases in 2001 and 2000 over 1999, are related to the use of third party contractors to assist with improvements to the Company's infrastructure and improvement of processes. Other operating expenses decreased to $13.9 million in 2001 from $15.0 million in 2000, which was an increase from $13.6 million in 1999. Included in the 2001 expenses was $3.8 million in impairment charges related to the write-off and disposition of certain non-strategic assets, primarily real estate. The primary factor driving the fluctuation in costs was losses from fraud and deposit processing in 2000.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $25.7 million in 2001 compared to $23.0 million in 2000 and 1999. These expense levels equate to effective tax rates of 28.3%, 26.1% and 26.4% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rates for 2001 compared to 2000 and 1999 was primarily the result of a decrease in tax exempt securities. The primary reason for the difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the statuary rate is the effect of nontaxable income, partially offset by nondeductible goodwill amortization.
Financial Condition
Loans
Loans represent the Company's largest source of interest income. At December 31, 2001, loans amounted to $2.8 billion compared to $3.1 billion in 2000. On average, loans totaled $2.9 billion in 2001 compared to $3.0 billion in 2000. Average loan balances decreased in 2001 due to an increasingly competitive loan market and an increased volume of loans paid off. The market for high quality credits that are consistent with the Company's underwriting standards remained very competitive. Falling interest rates also contributed to the reduction in loan volume in 2001. Management anticipates that new loan volume should outpace loan reductions in 2002. Both commercial and consumer loan balances decreased in 2001, after both categories showed increases in 2000. The consumer loan decrease was reflected in decreases in indirect consumer loans, where the Company was unwilling to match the highly competitive rates offered by automobile dealers. Commerical loan balances increased at yearend 2000 due to aggressive efforts of the Company's business development officers to establish new commercial relationships and expand existing ones. Consumer loan totals increased in 2000 due to new marketing campaigns throughout the Company's affiliate bank network.
The Parent Company's Credit Administration Department performs timely reviews of loan quality and underwriting procedures in affiliate banks, which experienced significant increases in consumer loans.

Included in Table 5 is a five-year breakdown of loans by type. During 2001, the Company upgraded to a new loan accounting system which resulted in greater definition of our portfolio. The greater definition did result in reclassification of loan balances between categories, none of which are deemed material or significant. Business-related loans continue to represent the largest segment of the Company's loan portfolio, comprising approximately 63% of total loans. The focus of the Company and each of its affiliate banks is on small- to medium-sized commercial companies located within their respective trade areas. The Company targets customers that will utilize multiple banking services and products. The Company believes the ownership structure and the continuity of its management and relationship officers are generally viewed by customers as a significant strength of the Company and benefit to the customer. The Company's goal is to differentiate itself from its large super-regional and national competitors through superior service, attention to detail, customer knowledge and responsiveness. The Company's size allows it to meet this goal and at the same time offer the wide range of products most customers need. This strategy has worked especially well during a period of bank consolidation and should continue to be a benefit. The Company has experienced very strong growth in the new markets it entered during the past three years. There has been a demand in these markets for bank services delivered with the customer-driven focus that the Company practices. The Company will continue to expand its efforts to attract customers that understand and seek the advantages of banking with a company headquartered in their market.
Commercial real estate loans have increased to $297 million at December 31, 2001, from $268 million at December 31, 2000 and $208 million at year-end 1999. As a percentage of total loans, commercial real estate loans now comprise 10.6% of total loans, compared to 8.7% at the end of 2000. Generally, these loans are made for working capital or expansion purposes and are primarily secured by real estate with a maximum loan-to-value of 80%. Many of these properties are owner-occupied and have other collateral or guarantees as security.
Bankcard loans have increased as a percentage of total loans. They comprise 6.0% of total loans at year-end 2001 compared to 5.8% at year-end 2000. The volume growth in 2001 was due to increased charge volume from portfolio purchases and marketing efforts of corporate card products. A significant portion of the decrease in bankcard loans in 2000 was caused by a reduction in the private label portion of the portfolio. This type of loan is generally less profitable than traditional bankcard loans and is likely to continue to decrease in volume. The overall growth in the Company's bankcard portfolio has been hampered by increased competition from banking and nonbanking card issuers. This competition frequently lessens its credit standards and offers favorable introductory rates in an effort to obtain transfer balances from other cards. The Company has elected not to seek loan volume in such a manner. The Company's credit and underwriting standards have become stricter as more consumers acquire multiple credit cards with revolving balances.
Loan Quality
The strength of the Company's credit standards is reflected in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. A primary indicator of credit quality and risk management is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans include both nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company's nonperforming loans decreased to $7.3 million at December 31, 2001, compared to $11.5 million a year earlier. Approximately 70% of the total nonperforming loan balance at year-end 2000 was represented by a single customer. The level of nonperforming loans at year-end 2001 represents 0.26% of total loans compared to 0.37% in 2000. The Company's nonperforming loans have not exceeded 0.50% of total loans in any of the last six years.
The Company had $6.5 million in other real estate owned as of December 31, 2001 compared to $2.0 million in 2000. The majority of this increase was associated with one foreclosed credit. Loans past due more than 90 days totaled $11.0 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2000. Bankcard loans represented approximately 13% of these past due totals at December 31, 2001.

Key factors of the Company's loan quality program are a sound credit policy combined with periodic and independent credit reviews. All affiliate banks operate under written loan policies. Credit decisions continue to be based on the borrower's cash flow and the value of underlying collateral, as well as other relevant factors. Each bank is responsible for evaluating its loans by using a ranking system. In addition, the Company has an internal loan review staff that operates independently of the affiliate banks. This review team performs periodic examinations of each bank's loans for credit quality, documentation and loan administration. The respective regulatory authority of each affiliate bank also reviews loan portfolios.
Another means of ensuring loan quality is diversification. By keeping its loan portfolio diversified, the Company has avoided problems associated with undue concentrations of loans within particular industries. Commercial real estate loans comprise only 10.6% of total loans, with no history of significant losses. The Company has no significant exposure to highly leveraged transactions and has no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.
A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and/or when management has considerable doubt about the borrower's ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash. At year-end 2001, $269,000 of interest due was not recorded as earned, compared to $171,000 for the prior year.
Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal due to deterioration in the financial condition of the respective borrowers. In 2001, there was no reduction or defferal of interest due. Management estimates that approximately $38,000 of additional interest would have been earned in 2000 if these loans had been performing in accordance with their original contracts. In certain instances, the Company continues to accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more. Though the loan payments are delinquent, collection of interest and principal is expected to resume, and sufficient collateral is believed to exist to protect the Company from significant loss. Consequently, management considers the ultimate collection of these loans to be reasonable and has recorded $157,000 of interest due as earned for 2001. The comparative amount for 2000 was $158,000.
Securities
The Company's security portfolio provides significant liquidity as a result of the composition and average life of the underlying securities. This liquidity can be used to fund loan growth or to offset the outflow of traditional funding sources. In addition to providing a source of potential liquidity, the security portfolio can be used as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company's goal in the management of its securities portfolio is to maximize return within the Company's parameters of liquidity goals, interest rate risk and credit risk. Historically, the Company has maintained very high liquidity levels while investing in only high-grade securities. The security portfolio generates the Company's second largest component of interest income.
Securities available for sale and held to maturity comprised 60.2% of earning assets as of December 31, 2001, compared to 48.9% at year-end 2000. The increase in 2001 resulted from inflows of funds from growth in deposits and repurchase agreements. Securities totaled $4.5 billion at December 31, 2001, compared to $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2000. Loan demand is expected to be the primary factor impacting changes in the level of security holdings. Securities available for sale comprised 88% of the Company's securities portfolio at December 31, 2001 compared to 78% at yearend 2000. U.S. Treasury obligations comprised 28% of the available for sale portfolio as of December 31, 2001, compared with 39% one year earlier. U.S. Agency obligations represented an additional 52% of this portfolio at year-end 2001, compared with 47% at year-end 2000. In order to improve the yield of the securities portfolio, the Company periodically will choose to alter the mix of the portfolio, as opposed to significantly lengthening the average life of the portfolio. Securities available for sale had a net unrealized gain of $35.4 million at year-end 2001 compared to $2.8 million the preceding year. These amounts are reflected, on an after-tax basis, in the Company's shareholders' equity as an unrealized gain of $22.5 million at year-end 2001 compared to $1.8 million for 2000.
The securities portfolio achieved an average yield on a taxequivalent basis of 5.10% for 2001 compared to 6.00% in 2000 and 5.63% in 1999. The yield on the portfolio decreased by 90 basis points in 2001 as a result of the impact of decreases in short-term interest rates. A significant portion of the investment portfolio must be reinvested each year as a result of its liquidity. The average life of the core securities portfolio was 20 months at December 31, 2001 compared to 22 months at year-end 2000.

Other Earning Assets
Federal funds transactions essentially are overnight loans between financial institutions, which allow for either the daily investment of excess funds or the daily borrowing of another institution's funds in order to meet short-term liquidity needs. The net sold position at year end 2001 was $32.0 million compared to a net purchased position of $17.6 million at year end 2000. During 2001 the Company was a net seller of federal funds with an average balance of $6.4 million, compared to 2000 when the Company was a net purchaser of federal funds, and this funding source averaged $96.3 million.
The Investment Banking Division of the Company's principal affiliate bank buys and sells federal funds as agent for nonaffiliated banks. Because the transactions are pursuant to agency arrangements, these transactions do not appear on the balance sheet and averaged $965.3 million in 2001 and $611.8 million in 2000.
At December 31, 2001, the Company held securities under agreements to resell of $89.9 million compared to $151.1 million at year-end 2000. The Company uses these instruments as short-term secured investments, in lieu of selling federal funds, or to acquire securities required for a repurchase agreement. These investments averaged $152.0 million in 2001 and $189.0 million in 2000.
The Investment Banking Division also maintains an active securities trading inventory. The average holdings in the securities trading inventory in 2001 were $68.5 million, compared to $72.8 million in 2000, and were recorded at market value.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds
Deposits represent the Company's primary funding source for its asset base. Deposits are gathered from various sources including commercial customers, individual retail consumers and mutual fund and trust customers. Deposits totaled $6.4 billion at December 31, 2001, and $5.9 billion at year-end 2000. Deposits averaged $5.4 billion in 2001 and 2000. The Company has continued to expand, improve and promote its cash management services in order to attract and retain commercial funding customers.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits averaged $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion during 2001 and 2000, respectively. These deposits represented 32.9% of average deposits in 2001, compared to 35.8% in 2000. The Company's large commercial customer base provides a significant source of noninterest-bearing deposits. Many of these commercial accounts, though they do not earn interest, receive an earnings credit to offset the cost of other services provided by the Company.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $1,288.6 million at December 31, 2001, and $882.2 million at year-end 2000. This liability averaged $935.7 million in 2001 and $914.7 million in 2000. Repurchase agreements are transactions involving the exchange of investment funds by the customer, for securities by the Company, under an agreement to repurchase the same or similar issues at an agreed-upon price and date. The Company enters into these transactions with its downstream correspondent banks, commercial customers, and various trust, mutual fund and local government relationships.
The Company's long-term debt includes one senior note issue for $15 million. The senior note represents funds borrowed in 1993 under a medium-term program to fund bank acquisitions. This $15.0 million note had an original maturity of ten years at 7.30%. Also included in long-term debt is the Company's guarantee of a loan incurred in January 1996 by its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Principal and interest, at 6.10%, are due quarterly over seven years. The Plan is using Company contributions to service this debt. The Company also has four fixed-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank at rates of 5.84%, 5.89%, 7.13% and 7.61%. These advances, collateralized by Company securities, are used to offset interest rate risk of longer term fixed rate loans.

Capital
The Company places a significant emphasis on the maintenance of a strong capital position, which promotes investor confidence, provides access to funding sources under favorable terms, and enhances the Company's ability to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. Capital is managed for each subsidiary based upon its respective risks and growth opportunities as well as regulatory requirements.
Total shareholders' equity was $768.6 million at December 31, 2001, compared to $702.9 million one year earlier. The Company guarantees the debt of its ESOP, the proceeds of which were used to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The shares acquired by the ESOP that have not been allocated to plan participants are included as a reduction to shareholders' equity. During each year, management has the opportunity to repurchase shares of the Company's stock at prices, which, in management's opinion, would enhance overall shareholder value. During 2001 and 2000, the Company acquired 164,722 and 503,906 shares, respectively, of its common stock.
Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies establish minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial institution's assets. A financial institution's total capital is required to equal at least 8% of riskweighted assets. At least half of that 8% must consist of Tier 1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital. The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by type of asset. Certain off-balance-sheet items (such as standby letters of credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by credit conversion factors to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them specific risk weightings. Due to the Company's high level of core capital and substantial portion of earning assets invested in government securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.18% and total capital ratio of 15.97% substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.
Asset/Liability Management
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Due to the nature of the Company's business, some degree of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate. Management's objective in this area is to limit the level of earnings exposure arising from interest rate movements. Analysis of this risk is related to liquidity due to the impact of maturing assets and liabilities. Many of the Company's financial instruments reprice prior to maturity.
Interest rate sensitivity is measured by gaps, which are the differences between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which reprice or mature within a specific time interval. A positive gap indicates that interest-earning assets exceed interest-bearing liabilities within a given interval. A positive gap position results in increased net interest income when rates increase and the opposite when rates decline.
Management attempts to structure the balance sheet to provide for the repricing of approximately equal amounts of assets and liabilities within specific time intervals. Table 14 is a static gap analysis, which presents the Company's assets and liabilities, based on their repricing or maturity characteristics. This analysis shows that for the 180-day interval, beginning January 1, 2002, the Company is in a positive gap position because assets maturing or repricing during this time exceed liabilities.
In management's opinion, the static gap report tends to overstate the interest rate risk of the Company due to certain factors, which are not measured on a static or snapshot analysis. A static gap analysis assumes that all liabilities reprice based on their contractual term. However, the effect of rate increases on core deposits, approximately 95% of total deposits, historically tend to lag the change in market rates. This lag generally lessens the negative impact of rising interest rates when the Company has more liabilities subject to repricing than assets. In addition, a static analysis ignores the impact of changes in the mix and volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities. During 2001, the Company's loans decreased as a percentage of total earning assets, and noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts represented a smaller component of total funding sources. Due to the limitations of a static gap analysis, the Company also monitors and manages interest rate risk through the use of simulation models. These models allow for input of various factors and assumptions, which influence interest rate risk. The Company believes that this method presents a more realistic view of the impact on the Company's earnings resulting from movement in interest rates.
Simulation tools are the primary tools that the Company uses to manage its interest rate risk. The Company does not use offbalance- sheet hedges or swaps to manage this risk except for use of future contracts to offset interest rate risk on specific securities held in the trading portfolio.
The Company's interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model which internally generates estimates of the change in net portfolio value (NPV) over a range of instantaneous and sustained interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and offbalance sheet contracts. These assets and liabilities of the Company are comprised primarily of financial instruments which give rise to cash flows. By projecting the timing and amount of future net cash flows, an estimated value of that asset or liability can be determined. Market values of the Company's investment in loans and debt securities fluctuate with movements in market interest rates. Prepayments of principal are generally correlated with interest rates and affect future cash flows. Certain deposits and other borrowings of the Company are also sensitive to interest rate changes. Table 13 sets forth the Company's NPV as of December 31, 2001 Although the NPV measurements provide an indication of the Company's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point-in-time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market rates on the Company's net portfolio value and may differ from actual results.

Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Company's ability to meet financial commitments through the maturity and sale of existing assets or availability of additional funds. The primary source of liquidity for the Company is regularly scheduled payments on and maturities of assets which include $4.0 billion of high-quality securities available for sale. The liquidity of the Company and its affiliate banks is also enhanced by its activity in the federal funds market and by its core deposits. Neither the Parent Company, nor its subsidiaries are active in the debt market. The traditional funding source for the Company's subsidiary banks has been core deposits. The Parent Company has not issued any debt since 1993 when $25 million of medium-term notes were issued to fund bank acquisitions. These notes are rated A3 by Moody's Investor Service and A- by Standard and Poors. Based upon regular contact with investment banking firms, management is confident in its ability to raise debt or equity capital on favorable terms, should the need arise.
The Parent Company's cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to shareholders, debt service and treasury stock purchases. Management fees and dividends received from subsidiary banks traditionally have been sufficient to satisfy these requirements and are expected to be in the future. The Company's subsidiary's banks are subject to various rules, depending on their location and primary regulator, regarding payment of dividends to the Parent Company. For the most part, all banks can pay dividends at least equal to their current year's earnings without seeking prior regulatory approval. From time to time, approvals have been requested to allow a subsidiary bank to pay a dividend in excess of its current earnings. All such requests have been approved.
eScout LLC
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company's lead bank formed a subsidiary under the name of eScout.com LLC whose name was subsequently changed to eScout LLC (eScout), minority interests in which were acquired by several outside investors. Prior to its formation, the start-up and initial operating costs of eScout were funded by the Company's lead bank. These direct costs did not materially impact the overall results of operations of the Company. The function of eScout is to serve as an electronic commerce network for UMB customers, correspondent banks and their customers, and other businesses. Through May 2001 the Company's net interest income, non-interest income and expense include the results of eScout. Due to the terms of the LLC agreement, the net results of operations of this subsidiary are eliminated through minority interest in loss of consolidated subsidiary. On May 18, 2001, the company reduced its ownership position in eScout, and the results of eScout are no longer included in the consolidated results of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $1.7 million in 2001 on the sale of part of its ownership interest in eScout. Table 16 presents the consolidated statements of income for the Company, excluding the results of operations for eScout, for the three years ending December 31, 2001.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgements, including those related to customers and suppliers, allowance for loan losses, bad debts, investments, financing operations, long-lived assets and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which have formed the basis for making such judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Of the issues that are of a subjective nature, management believes that the only items for a critical accounting policy would be the allowance for loan losses and the evaluation of impairment testing of long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangibles. The allowance for loan loss represents management's judgement of the losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. The adequacy is reviewed quarterly, considering such items as historical trends, a review of individual loans, current and projected economic conditions, loan growth and characteristics, industry or segment concentration, and other factors. Bank regulatory agencies require that the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses be maintained on a bank-by-bank basis, however the Company uses a centralized credit administration function, which provides information on affiliate bank risk levels, delinquencies, an internal ranking system and bank risk levels. Long-lived assets, including goodwill, other intangible assets and premises and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UMB Financial Corporation is a multi-bank holding company which offers a wide range of banking services to its customers through its branches and offices in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, Oklahoma and Nebraska. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation.
CONSOLIDATION All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated statements of income for the period from January 1, 2001 to May 18, 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2000 includes the results of eScout LLC a partially-owned subsidiary of the Company. According to the terms of eScout's operating agreement, operating losses have been allocated to the outside minority investors. As a result, these losses have been eliminated through minority interest in loss of consolidated subsidiary. On May 18, 2001, the Company sold a portion of its ownership of eScout, reducing its ownership interest. As a result, the Company's investment in eScout is being accounted for using the equity method from that time.
REVENUE RECOGNITION Interest on loans and securities is recognized based on rate times the principal amount outstanding. Interest accrual is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the likelihood of collection becomes doubtful. Annual bankcard fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period that cardholders may use the card. Other noninterest income is recognized as services are performed or revenuegenerating transactions are executed.
LOANS Affiliate banks enter into lease financing transactions that are generally recorded under the financing method of accounting. Income is recognized on a basis that results in an approximately level rate of return over the life of the lease.
A loan is considered to be impaired when management believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is impaired, the Company records a loss valuation allowance equal to the carrying amount of the loan in excess of the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Real estate and consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Commercial loans are evaluated for impairment on a loan-by-loan basis.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on management's continuing evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio, including actual loan loss experience, current and anticipated economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured and determination of the existence and realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing such loans. The actual losses, notwithstanding such considerations, however, could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE Debt securities available for sale include principally U.S. Treasury and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Securities classified as available for sale are measured at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses on sales are computed by the specific identification method at the time of disposition and are shown separately as a component of noninterest income.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investment securities are carried at amortized historical cost based on management's intention, and the Company's ability, to hold them to maturity. The Company classifies most securities of state and political subdivisions as investment securities. Certain significant unforeseeable changes in circumstances may cause a change in the intent to hold these securities to maturity. For example, such changes may include a deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness that is expected to continue or a change in tax law that eliminates the tax-exempt status of interest on the security.
TRADING SECURITIES Trading securities, generally acquired for subsequent sale to customers, are carried at market value. Market adjustments, fees and gains or losses on the sale of trading securities are considered to be a normal part of operations and are included in trading and investment banking income. Interest income on trading securities is included in income from earning assets.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill and other intangibles prior to 1982 are being amortized ratably over 40 years. Premiums on purchases in 1982 and after are being amortized ratably over 15-20 years. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized ratably over 10 years.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed primarily on accelerated methods. Bank premises are depreciated over 20 to 40 year lives, while equipment is depreciated over lives of 3 to 20 years.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets and premises and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes a comparison of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with their associated carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds its fair value.
TAXES The company recognizes certain income ans expenses in different time periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The provision for deferred income taxes is based on the liability method and represents the change in the deferred income tax accounts during the year, including the effect of enacted tax rate changes.
PER SHARE DATA Basic income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of issuable stock options outstanding during each year. All share and per share data have been restated for the 5% stock dividend declared October 18, 2001.
RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications were made to the 2000 and 1999 consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method for disclosure purposes. Pro forma net income and earnings per share are disclosed as if the fair value method had been applied.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS No. 137 and No.138. This Statement, as amended requires entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in its financial statements and to measure such instruments at their fair value. The Statements were effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements after January 1, 2001. The Company has adopted the Statements and they did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This Statement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 140 relating to pledged collateral, securitized financial assets and retained interest in securitized financial assets were effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2000. The remainder of the Statement was effective for transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. The Company has adopted this Statement and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. Business combinations consummated subsequent to June 30, 2001 are to be accounted for under the provisions of the new statement. Statement No. 142, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002, requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the Statement includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and identification of reporting units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test within six months from the date of the adoption. Effective January 1, 2002 the Company has discontinued the amortization of goodwill. The related goodwill amortization expense was $5,627,000, $5,624,000 and $4,437,000 for the years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management has evaluated goodwill for impairment and does not expect to record an impairment charge on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
OTHER PRONOUNCEMENTS The FASB also recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." These Statements are effective on January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2002 respectively. Implementation of these Statements are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The state bank in Missouri is subject to state laws permitting dividends to be declared from retained earnings, provided certain specified capital requirements are met. At December 31, 2001, approximately $15,615,000 of the equity of the affiliate banks was available for distribution as dividends to the parent company without prior regulatory approval or without reducing the capital of the respective affiliate banks below prudent levels.
Certain affiliate banks maintain reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank as required by law. During 2001, this amount averaged $94,273,000, compared to $101,699,000 in 2000.
The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At December 31, 2001, the Company is required to have minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The Company's actual ratios at that date were 15.18% and 15.97%, respectively. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 2001, was 9.22%.
As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Company's most significant affiliate banks as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the affiliate banks must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the affiliate banks' category.
Actual capital amounts as well as required and well-capitalized Tier 1, Total and Tier 1 Leverage ratios as of December 31 for the Company and its largest banks are as follows:

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company has a noncontributory profit sharing plan, which features an employee stock ownership plan. These plans are for the benefit of substantially all eligible officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Contributions to these plans were $3,052,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999. In 1996, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) borrowed $17 million to purchase common stock of the Company. The loan obligation of the ESOP is considered unearned employee benefit expense and, as such, is recorded as a reduction of the Company's shareholders' equity. Both the loan obligation and the unearned benefit expense are reduced by the amount of the loan principal repayments made by the ESOP. The portion of the Company's ESOP contribution which funded principal repayments and the payment of interest expense was recorded accordingly in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan that permits participants to make contributions by salary reduction. The Company made a matching contribution to this plan of $2,139,000 for 2001, $1,868,000 for 2000 and $1,745,000 for 1999.
On April 16, 1992, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan (''the 1992 Plan''), which provides incentive options to certain key employees for up to 500,000 common shares of the Company. Of the options granted prior to 1998, 40% are exercisable two years from the date of the grant and are thereafter exercisable in 20% increments annually, or for such periods or vesting increments as the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, specify (which may not exceed 10 years), provided that the optionee has remained in the employment of the Company or its subsidiaries. None of the options granted after 1998 are exercisable until five years after the grant date. The Board or the committee may accelerate the exercise period for an option upon the optionee's disability, retirement or death. All options expire at the end of the exercise period. The Company makes no recognition in the balance sheet of the options until such options are exercised and no amounts applicable thereto are reflected in net income. Options are granted at not less than 100% of fair market value at date of grant.
Activity in the 1992 Plan for the three years ended December 31, 2001, is summarized in the following table:

The 1981 Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the 1981 Plan") was adopted by the Company on October 22, 1981, and amended November 27, 1985, and October 10, 1989. No further options may be granted under the 1981 Plan. Provisions of the 1981 Plan regarding option price, term and exercisability are generally the same as that described for the 1992 Plan. Activity in the 1981 Plan for the three years ended December 31, 2001, is summarized in the following table:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans. Had compensation costs for the Company's plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been respectively, $64,907,000 and $2.93 for the year ended December 31, 2001, $64,849,000 and $2.90 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $63,826,000 and $2.79 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2001, the estimated fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model under the Company's plans was based on a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.19%, expected option life of 8.75 years, expected volatility of 19.71% and an expected dividend yield of 2.05%. For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2000, the estimated fair value of options granted under the Company's plans was based on a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.17%, expected option life of 8.75 years, expected volatility of 19.62% and an expected dividend yield of 2.14%. For options granted during the year ended December 31, 1999, the estimated fair value of options granted under the Company's plans was based on a weighted average riskfree interest rate of 6.23%, expected option life of 8.75 years, expected volatility of 18.60% and an expected dividend yield of 2.25%.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Public enterprises are required to report certain information concerning its operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are considered to be components of or enterprises for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by key decision-makers for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has defined its operations into the following segments:
Commercial Banking. Providing a full range of lending and cash management services to commercial and governmental entities through the commercial division of the Company's lead bank.
Trust and Securities Processing. Providing estate planning, trust, employee benefit, asset management and custodial services to individuals and corporate customers.
Commercial Banking. Investment Banking and Brokerage. Providing commercial and retail brokerage, investment accounting and safekeeping services to individuals and corporate customers. This segment includes the Company's investment portfolio.
Community Banking. Providing a full range of banking services to retail and corporate customers through the Company's affiliate bank and branch network.
Other. The Other category consists primarily of Overhead and Support departments of the Company. The net revenues and expenses of these departments are allocated to the other segments of the organization in the Company's periodic segment reporting.
Reported segment revenues, net income and average assets include revenue and expense distributions for services performed for other segments within the Company as well as balances due from other segments within the Company. Such intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The Company's 2000 reported segment revenues, net income and average assets reflect changes in the organization of the Company resulting from consolidation of various subsidiary bank charters and subsequent reassignment of certain functional responsibilities. These functions had previously been managed and reported at a subsidiary company level. 1999 segment revenues, net income and average assets have not been restated for the effect of the change.
The table below lists selected financial information by business segment as of and for the three years ended December 31, 2001 (in thousands):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and futures contracts. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. These conditions generally include, but are not limited to, each customer being current as to repayment terms of existing loans and no deterioration in the customer's financial condition. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The interest rate is generally a variable or floating rate. If the commitment has a fixed interest rate, the rate is generally not set until such time as credit is extended. For credit card customers, the Company has the right to change or terminate any terms or conditions of the credit card account at any time. Since a large portion of the commitments and unused credit card lines are never actually drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, plant and equipment, stock, securities and certificates of deposit.
Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate trade or commerce. Under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, as a general rule, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary. Collateral varies but may include such items as those described for commitments to extend credit. Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in securities values and interest rates. Instruments used in trading activities are carried at market value and gains and losses on futures contracts are settled in cash daily. Any changes in the market value are recognized in trading and investment banking income.
The Company's use of futures contracts is very limited. The Company uses contracts to offset interest rate risk on specific securities held in the trading portfolio. Open futures contract positions averaged $51.8 million and $57.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net futures activity resulted in losses of $2.5 million for 2001 and $2.2 million for 2000 and gains of $1.7 million for 1999. The Company controls the credit risk of its futures contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts on a limited basis. For operating purposes the Company maintains certain balances in foreign banks. Foreign exchange contracts are purchased on a monthly basis to avoid foreign exchange risk on these foreign balances. The Company will also enter into foreign exchange contracts to facilitate foreign exchange needs of customers. The Company will enter into a contract to buy or sell a foreign currency at a future date only as part of a contract to sell or buy the foreign currency at the same future date to a customer. During 2001, contracts to purchase and to sell foreign currency averaged approximately $46.9 million, compared to $19.3 million during 2000. The gains on these foreign exchange contracts for 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
With respect to group concentrations of credit risk, most of the Company's business activity is with customers in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Illinois. At December 31, 2001, the Company did not have any significant credit concentrations in any particular industry.
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named defendants in various lawsuits and counterclaims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of these lawsuits will have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of the Company.

ACQUISITIONS
On November 22, 1999 the Company acquired Charter National Bank, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for $10 million. The acquisition was funded with existing working capital. The acquisition of this $51.2 million bank was recorded as a purchase. The acquisition was not deemed to be material in relation to the consolidated results of the Company. Income of the Company does not include income of the acquired company prior to the effective date of the acquisition. In March of 2000, this bank was merged into the Company's lead bank.
On March 7, 2001 the Company acquired the corporate trust business located in St. Louis, Missouri from State Street Corporation for $18.3 million. On April 19, 2001 the Company acquired Sunstone Financial Group, Inc. located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The purchase price of Sunstone is directly connected to gross revenue targets. The Company paid an initial amount of $8.0 million on April 19, 2001, and will make subsequent annual payments, depending on revenue target achieved through 2006. Both of these acquisitions were recorded as purchases and were funded with existing working capital. The acquisitions were not deemed to be material in relation to the consolidated results of the Company.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes as set forth below produce effective income tax rates of 28.3% in 2001, 26.1% in 2000, and 26.4% in 1999. These percentages are computed by dividing total income tax by the sum of such tax and net income. Income taxes include the following components (in thousands):

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of their fair values.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
TRADING SECURITIES Fair values for trading securities (including financial futures), which also are the amounts recognized in the balance sheet, are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities.
LOANS Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
SHORT-TERM DEBT The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair values.
LONG-TERM DEBT Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a loan commitment and a letter of credit is determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned during the year on these instruments or their fair value at year-end are significant to the Company's consolidated financial position.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows (in millions):

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of UMB Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UMB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UMB Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
