NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MB Financial, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned national bank subsidiary, MB Financial Bank, N.A. (“MB Financial Bank”), based in Chicago, Illinois. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2010 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.

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

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

NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The following business combinations were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Under this method of accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the cost, the Company will record a gain on the acquisition.

During 2010, MB Financial Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Chicago-based Broadway Bank (“Broadway”) and Chicago-based New Century Bank (“New Century”) in loss-share transactions facilitated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Under the loss-share agreements, MB Financial Bank will share in the losses on assets (loans and other real estate owned) covered under the agreement (referred to as “covered loans” and “covered other real estate owned”). See Note 2 of the notes to our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information. Purchase accounting for the Broadway and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions was completed during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our loss share agreements on the Benchmark Bank (FDIC-assisted transaction completed in 2009), Broadway Bank and New Century Bank transactions include a claw-back mechanism which is based on the initial asset discount and consideration of future credit performance. If credit performance is better than certain pre-established thresholds, then a portion of the monetary benefit is shared with the FDIC. Depending on the discount for each of the above transactions, payment may be required even if the pre-established thresholds are not reached. Each loss share agreement requires that this monetary benefit be paid to the FDIC shortly after the expiration of the loss share agreement, which occurs ten years after the acquisition closing date.

Credit performance (as adjusted by the initial asset discount) is expected to be better than the established thresholds for the Benchmark, Broadway, and New Century transactions. Therefore, a separate claw-back liability has been booked for each of these three transactions. The initial claw-back liability was present valued using the overall covered asset yield.

Table of Contents

There have been no significant adjustments to the initial cash flow estimates (expected credit performance) on these transactions subsequent to purchase accounting completion; therefore, we have not adjusted our original estimates related to the claw-back liabilities. Any future adjustments to the claw-back liabilities will be reflected in other income or other expense.

NOTE 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss), as well as the change in net unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale arising during the periods, net of tax.

The following table sets forth comprehensive income for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010

Net (loss) income	$	(7,366	)	$	19,197		$	(422	)	$	20,144

Unrealized holding gains on investment securities, net of tax	4,895			12,313			5,226			26,831

Comprehensive (loss) income	$	(2,610	)	$	30,104		$	4,667		$	41,381

NOTE 4. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, though no actual shares of common stock related to restricted stock units have been issued, to the extent holders of these securities receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents at the same rate as holders of the Company’s common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method. Due to the net loss available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, all of the dilutive stock based awards are considered anti-dilutive and not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Table of Contents

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

The total number of security positions in the investment portfolio in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2011 was 65. Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and

ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in cost.

As of June 30, 2011, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2011, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

Covered loans	755,670		812,330
Total loans(1)	$	5,938,029	$	6,617,811

(1) Gross loan balances at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are net of unearned income, including net deferred loan fees of $2.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

The results for the first six months of 2011 include a provision for credit losses of approximately $50 million in connection with the sale during the second quarter of 2011 of loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, including $156.3 million in non-performing loans. We recognized approximately $87 million in charge-offs as a result of the sale.

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

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

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

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

Commercial Real Estate Loans. The Company’s goal is to create and maintain a high quality portfolio of commercial real estate loans with customers who meet the quality and relationship profitability objectives of the company. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the successful operation of the property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.

Table of Contents

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

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

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

Table of Contents

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics. The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent analysis performed and the contractual aging as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Impaired loans include accruing restructured loans of $35.0 million and $22.5 million that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in impaired loans were $22.5 million and $47.6 million of non-performing, restructured loans as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in impaired loans was primarily due to the loan sale in the second quarter of 2011 as discussed earlier.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination, including loans purchased in our FDIC-assisted transactions, are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Purchased credit-impaired loans are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include factors such as past due and non-accrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges or a reclassification of the difference from non-accretable to accretable with a positive impact on interest income. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Table of Contents

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 include a provision for credit losses of approximately $50 million in connection with the sale during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, including $156.3 million in non-performing loans. The sale resulted in charge-offs of approximately $87 million, which impacted all loan types.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 there was a provision to the allowance for loan losses of $1.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and charge-offs of $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in relation to three pools of non-covered purchased credit-impaired loans. There was $375 thousand in allowance for loan losses related to these purchased credit-impaired loans at June 30, 2011 and none at December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses and accompanying charge-offs are included in the table above.

Changes in the accretable yield for purchased credit-impaired loans were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

In our FDIC-assisted transactions (see Note 2), the fair value of purchased credit-impaired loans, on the acquisition date, was determined based on assigned risk ratings, expected cash flows and the fair value of loan collateral. The fair value of loans that were not credit-impaired was determined based on estimates of losses on defaults and other market factors. Due to the loss-share agreements with the FDIC, the Bank recorded a receivable from the FDIC equal to the present value of the corresponding reimbursement percentages on the estimated losses embedded in the loan portfolio.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted upward for a particular loan pool, the indemnification asset is decreased. The adjustment to the indemnification asset is accreted over the estimated life of the loan pool. The corresponding adjustment to the covered loan balances is also accreted over the estimated life of the loan pool. For covered foreclosed real estate, any valuation allowance established from the date of foreclosure would be reduced.

When cash flow estimates are adjusted downward for a particular loan pool, the indemnification asset is increased. An allowance for loan and lease losses would be established for the impairment of the loans. A provision is recognized for the difference between the increase in the indemnification asset and the allowance for loan and lease losses. For covered foreclosed real estate, a loss is recorded for the impairment, and a charge is recognized for the difference between the increase in the indemnification asset and the valuation allowance.

In both scenarios, the claw-back liability will increase or decrease accordingly.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

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

The Company’s annual assessment date is as of December 31. No impairment losses were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. All of our goodwill is allocated to MB Financial, Inc., which is the Company’s only applicable reporting unit for purposes of testing goodwill impairment.

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,

NOTE 8. NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

ASC Topic 310 “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” amended prior guidance to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of loans and leases and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “Allowance”). The new authoritative guidance also requires additional disclosures related to credit quality indicators, past due information, and information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The new authoritative guidance amends only the disclosure requirements for loans and leases and the allowance. The Company adopted the period end disclosures provisions of the new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 310 in the reporting period ending December 31, 2010. Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition. The Company adopted the disclosures provisions of the new authoritative guidance about activity that occurs during a reporting period on January 1, 2011; the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition. The disclosures related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring will be effective for the reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

ASC Topic 310 “Receivables,” Subtopic 310-40 “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.” New authoritative accounting guidance under Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” amended prior guidance to provide assistance in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. The new authoritative guidance provides clarification for evaluating whether a concession has been granted and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new authoritative guidance will be effective for the reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an on the Company’s statements of income and financial condition.

NOTE 9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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

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

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Total cost of share-based payment plans during the period	$	850	$	1,288	$	2,079	$	2,530

Amount of related income tax benefit recognized in income	$	341	$	495	$	842	$	972

The Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in 1997. In June 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Plan to, among other things, add 2,300,000 authorized shares for a total of 8,300,000 shares of common stock (the Limit”) for issuance to directors, officers, and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Grants under the Omnibus Plan can be in the form of options intended to be incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards and cash awards. As of June 30, 2011, there were 3,082,699 shares available for grant. To the extent the number of shares utilized for full value awards (meaning awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) granted after June 13, 2011 exceeds 251,678 (the “full value award pool”), the excess shares will count against the Limit on a 2-for-1 basis. As of June 30, 2011, 251,347 shares in the full value award pool were available for grants of full value awards.

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

The following table provides additional information about options outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

					Weighted
					Average
			Weighted		Remaining	Aggregate
			Average		Contractual	Intrinsic
	Number of		Exercise		Term	Value
	Options		Price		(In Years)	(In thousands)

Options outstanding as of December 31, 2010	3,254,717		$	28.31
Granted	11,088		$	20.10
Exercised	(81,533	)	$	17.05
Expired or cancelled	(182,929	)	$	31.91
Forfeited	(133,507	)	$	28.80
Options outstanding as of June 30, 2011	2,867,836		$	28.35	4.77	$	1,393

Options exercisable as of June 30, 2011	1,473,654		$	30.66	2.59	$	361

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of Company shares. The risk free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of options is estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to remain outstanding.

The following assumptions were used for options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2011:

	June 30,
	2011
Expected volatility	52.31%
Risk free interest rate	1.82%
Dividend yield	1.00%
Expected life	4 Years

Weighted average fair value per option of options granted during the period	$	7.90

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $185 thousand and $377 thousand, respectively.

The following is a summary of changes in nonvested shares of restricted stock and nonvested restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

	Number of		Weighted Average
	Shares		Grant Date Fair Value
Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2010	619,710		$	14.35
Granted	13,638		19.81
Vested	(102,171	)	22.58
Cancelled	(30,706	)	12.55
Shares Outstanding at June 30, 2011	500,471		$	12.93

During 2010, the Company issued 66,193 shares of performance-based restricted stock. The performance component of the vesting terms requires that the closing price of the Company’s stock be at least $25.80 (150% of the closing price on the grant date) for ten consecutive trading days. The performance component has not been satisfied as of June 30, 2011. The terms of each award also include certain restrictions that may be applicable to the award recipient to the extent necessary to ensure that the award complies with the limitations on compensation to which the Company is currently subject as a result of its participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. These restrictions, to the extent applicable, could result in a reduction in the number of shares comprising the award and/or affect the vesting of the award and transferability of the shares. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to value the performance based restricted stock awards at the time of issuance.

Table of Contents

During 2009, the Company issued 164,401 shares of performance-based restricted stock. Because the performance component of the vesting terms has been satisfied, which required that the closing price of the Company’s common stock be at least $18.14 (150% of the closing price on the grant date) for ten consecutive trading days, these restricted stock awards generally will vest in full in 2012, on the third anniversary of the grant date. The terms of each award also include certain restrictions that may be applicable to the award recipient to the extent necessary to ensure that the award complies with the limitations on compensation to which the Company is currently subject as a result of its participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. These restrictions, to the extent applicable, could result in a reduction in the number of shares comprising the award and/or affect the vesting of the award and transferability of the shares. A Monte Carlo simulation model was used to value the performance based restricted stock awards at the time of issuance.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company began issuing shares of common stock under the Omnibus Plan as Salary Stock, classified as other stock based awards, to certain executive officers. This stock is fully vested as of the grant date and the related expense is included in salaries and employee benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Salary Stock holders have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any dividends that may be paid thereon. As a condition of receiving the Salary Stock, the holders entered into agreements with the Company providing that they may not sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Salary Stock for two years, except in the event of disability or death. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 10,317 shares of Salary Stock at a weighted average issuance price of $19.54.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $5.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements (including share option and nonvested share awards) granted under the Omnibus Plan. At June 30, 2011, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized was approximately two years.

NOTE 13. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED TO CAPITAL TRUSTS

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

(2) Amount does not include purchase accounting adjustments totaling a premium of $303 thousand associated with FOBB Capital Trust I and III.

(3) Callable at a premium through 2020.

(4) Callable at a premium through call date.

(5) FOBB Capital Trusts I and III were established by First Oak Brook Bancshares, Inc. (“FOBB”) prior to the Company’s acquisition of FOBB, and the junior subordinated notes issued by FOBB to FOBB Capital Trusts I and III were assumed by the Company upon completion of the acquisition.

The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated notes at the stated maturity date or upon redemption on a date no earlier than the call dates noted in the table above. Prior to these respective redemption dates, the junior subordinated notes may be redeemed by the Company (in which case the trust preferred securities would also be redeemed) after the occurrence of certain events that would have a negative tax effect on the Company or the trusts, would cause the trust preferred securities to no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, or would result in a trust being treated as an investment company. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior subordinated notes. The Company’s obligation under the junior subordinated notes and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities issued by each trust. The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the notes and, therefore, distributions on the trust preferred securities, for up to five years, but not beyond the stated maturity date in the table above. During any such deferral period the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock or preferred stock and generally may not repurchase its common stock or preferred stock.

Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement between the Company and the U.S. Treasury pursuant to which the Company issued its Series A Preferred Stock as part to the TARP Capital Purchase Program, prior to the earlier of (i) December 5, 2011 and (ii) the date on which all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed by the Company or transferred by Treasury to third parties, the Company may not redeem its trust preferred securities (or the related junior subordinated notes), without the consent of Treasury. See Note 17 below.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC Topic 815 requires the Company to designate each derivative contract at inception as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Currently, the Company has only fair value hedges in the portfolio. For fair value hedges, interest rate swaps are structured so that all of the critical terms of the hedged items match the terms of the appropriate leg of the interest rate swaps at inception of the hedging relationship. The Company tests hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis for all fair value hedges. For prospective and retrospective hedge effectiveness, we use the dollar offset approach. In periodically assessing retrospectively the effectiveness of a fair value hedge in having achieved offsetting changes in fair values under a dollar-offset approach, the Company uses a cumulative approach on individual fair value hedges.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risk. The Company had fair value commercial loan interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $9.2 million at June 30, 2011. For fair value hedges, the changes in fair values of both the hedging derivative and the hedged item were recorded in current earnings as other income and other expense. When a fair value hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, previous adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged item are reversed immediately to current earnings and the hedge is reclassified to a trading position.

We also offer various derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, to our customers and offset our exposure from such contracts by purchasing other financial contracts. The customer accommodations and any offsetting financial contracts are treated as non-hedging derivative instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting. The notional amounts and fair values of open foreign currency forward contracts were not significant at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. The net amount payable or receivable under interest rate swaps is accrued as an adjustment to interest income. The net amount payable for June 30, 2011 was approximately $30 thousand and the net amount receivable for December 31, 2010 was approximately $30 thousand. The Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the Company’s net favorable value and interest payments of all swaps to each counterparty. In such cases collateral is required from the counterparties involved if the net value of the swaps exceeds a nominal amount. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s credit exposure relating to interest rate swaps was approximately $16.8 million, which is secured by the underlying collateral on customer loans.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are summarized below as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

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

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the following financial instruments were outstanding, the contractual amounts of which represent off-balance sheet credit risk (in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Commitments to extend credit:
Home equity lines	$	298,947	$	308,678
Other commitments	820,653		1,012,554

Letters of credit:
Standby	103,783		116,058
Commercial	2,415		2,970

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon.

Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

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

Both standby and commercial letters of credit may be issued for any length of time, but normally do not exceed a period of five years. These letters of credit may also be extended or amended from time to time depending on the bank customer’s needs. As of June 30, 2011, the longest maturity for any standby letter of credit was December 31, 2015. A fee of up to two percent of face value may be charged to the bank customer and is recognized as income over the life of the letter of credit, unless considered non-rebatable under the terms of a letter of credit application.

Of the $ 106.2 million in letter of credit commitments outstanding at June 30, 2011, approximately $ 44.7 million of the letters of credit have been issued or renewed since December 31, 2010.

Letters of credit issued on behalf of bank customers may be done on either a secured, partially secured or an unsecured basis. If a letter of credit is secured or partially secured, the collateral can take various forms including bank accounts, investments, fixed assets, inventory, accounts receivable or real estate, among other things. The Company takes the

Table of Contents

same care in making credit decisions and obtaining collateral when it issues letters of credit on behalf of its customers, as it does when making other types of loans.

Concentrations of credit risk: The majority of the loans, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area. Investments in securities issued by states and political subdivisions also involve governmental entities primarily within the Company’s market area. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

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

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $3.0 million in capital expenditure commitments outstanding which relate to various projects to renovate existing branches and commitments to purchase branch facilities related to our FDIC transactions.

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

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

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

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Our

valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s monthly and/or quarterly valuation process.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

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

Derivatives. Currently, we use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and classified as Level 2. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including LIBOR rate curves. We also obtain dealer quotations for these derivatives for comparative purposes to assess the reasonableness of the model valuations.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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

Impaired Loans. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2011, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate loans, the Company obtains a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.

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

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

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

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2011 are included in the table below (in thousands):

ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the cash surrender value of life insurance policies.

Table of Contents

The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

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

Cash and due from banks and interest bearing deposits with banks: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

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

Loans: Most commercial loans and some real estate mortgage loans are made on a variable rate basis. For those variable-rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed rate and all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.

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

Interest bearing deposits: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amounts payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

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

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

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

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

NOTE 17. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

The Series A Preferred Stock was issued as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program of the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. Concurrent with issuing the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued to the Treasury a ten year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,012,048 shares (subsequently reduced to 506,024 shares, as described below) of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $29.05 per share.

The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time by repaying Treasury, without penalty, subject to Treasury’s consultation with the Company’s appropriate regulatory agency. Additionally, upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant may be repurchased from the Treasury at its fair market value as agreed-upon by the Company and the Treasury.

On September 17, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock by issuing 12,578,125 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $201.3 million. The net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were approximately $190.9 million. With the proceeds from this offering and the proceeds received by the Company from issuances pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds from “Qualified Equity Offerings” in excess of the $196.0 million aggregate liquidation preference amount of the Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Warrant has been reduced by 50%, from 1,012,048 shares to 506,024 shares.

The securities purchase agreement between the Company and Treasury provides that prior to the earlier of (i) December 5, 2011 and (ii) the date on which all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed by the Company or transferred by Treasury to third parties, the Company may not, without the consent of Treasury, (a) pay a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of more than $0.18 per share or (b) subject to limited exceptions, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock, other than the Series A Preferred Stock, or trust preferred securities. In addition, under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock unless it is current in its dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock.

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

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

Overview

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for credit losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses is dependent on changes in our loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of our loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. Our net income is also affected by other income and other expenses. During the periods under report, non-interest income or other income consists of loan service fees, deposit service fees, net lease financing income, brokerage fees, trust and asset management fees, net gains on the sale of investment securities available for sale, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, net gain (loss) on sale of other assets, acquisition related gains, accretion of the indemnification asset and other operating income. During the periods under report, other expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, computer services expense, advertising and marketing expense, professional and legal expense, brokerage fee expense, telecommunication expense, other intangibles amortization expense, FDIC insurance premiums, branch impairment charges, other real estate expenses (net of rental income), and other operating expenses. Additionally, dividends on preferred shares reduce net income available to common stockholders.

Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and changes in the number of loan and deposit accounts through both acquisitions and dispositions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses primarily as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expense. Changes in the number of loan and deposit accounts affects other income, including service fees as well as other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses. Changes in the levels of non-performing assets affect salaries and benefits because of changes in problem loan remediation staffing needs. Changes in the levels of non-performing assets also affect legal expenses and other real estate owned expenses.

The Company had a net loss of $7.4 million and net loss available to common stockholders of $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to a net income of $19.2 million and a net income available to common stockholders of $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2010. Our 2011 second quarter results generated an annualized return on average assets of (0.30)% and an annualized return on average common equity of (3.43)%, compared to 0.73% and 5.79%, respectively, for the same period in 2010. Fully diluted loss per common share for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.18 compared to earnings of $0.31 per common share for the second quarter of 2010. The results for the second quarter of 2010 include a gain of $62.6 million from the Broadway Bank and New Century FDIC-assisted transactions completed during the second quarter of 2010. The results for the second quarter of 2011 include a provision for credit losses of approximately $50 million in connection with the sale during the second quarter of 2011 of loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, including $156.3 million in non-performing loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Allowance for Loan Losses. Subject to the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments in management’s evaluation

Table of Contents

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

Residual Value of Our Direct Finance, Leveraged, and Operating Leases. Lease residual value represents the present value of the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination date of the lease. Realization of these residual values depends on many factors, including management’s use of estimates, assumptions, and judgment to determine such values. Several other factors outside of management’s control may reduce the residual values realized, including general market conditions at the time of expiration of the lease, whether there has been technological or economic obsolescence or unusual wear and tear on, or use of, the equipment and the cost of comparable equipment. If, upon the expiration of a lease, we sell the equipment and the amount realized is less than the recorded value of the residual interest in the equipment, we will recognize a loss reflecting the difference. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease residuals for potential impairment. If we fail to realize our aggregate recorded residual values, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate residual value of the equipment leased under our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases totaled $54.3 million. See Note 1 and Note 7 of the notes to our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information.

Income Tax Accounting. ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold that a tax position must meet to be recognized in the financial statements. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $88 thousand of uncertain tax positions. The Company elects to treat interest and penalties recognized for the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense. However, interest and penalties imposed by taxing authorities on issues specifically addressed in ASC Topic 740 will be taken out of the tax reserves up to the amount allocated to interest and penalties. The amount of interest and penalties exceeding the amount allocated in the tax reserves will be treated as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $5 thousand of accrued interest related to tax reserves. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

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

The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and parameters are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, the Company would use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company completed two FDIC-assisted transactions. The Company recorded assets and liabilities at the estimated fair value as of the acquisition dates. See Note 2 of the notes to our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information.

Goodwill. The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired consists of goodwill,

Table of Contents

and core deposit and client relationship intangibles. See Note 9 of the notes to our December 31, 2010 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information regarding core deposit and client relationship intangibles. The Company reviews goodwill and other intangible assets to determine potential impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, by comparing the carrying value of the asset with the anticipated future cash flows.

The Company’s annual assessment date is as of December 31. No impairment losses were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. All of our goodwill is allocated to MB Financial, Inc., which is the Company’s only applicable reporting unit for purposes of testing goodwill impairment. Fair value was computed by estimating the future cash flows of the Company and present valuing those cash flows at an interest rate equal to our cost of capital. In addition, we compared our fair value calculation with our stock price adjusted for a control premium for reasonableness relative to our fair value calculation. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included loan and deposit growth, the interest rate environment, credit spreads on new and renewed loans, future deposit pricing, loan charge-offs, provision for loan losses, fee income growth and operating expense growth. Our future cash flows estimates assume that credit performance returns to our historic experience over the next two years. If this does not happen, our future cash flows would be negatively impacted. Given the weak economy and our recent credit performance, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding this assumption.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter Results

The Company had a net loss of $7.4 million and net loss available to common stockholders of $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $19.2 million and net income available to common stockholders of $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2010. The results for the second quarter of 2011 generated an annualized return on average assets of (0.30)% and an annualized return on average common equity of (3.43)%, compared to 0.73% and 5.79%, respectively, for the same period in 2010. The results for the second quarter of 2010 include a gain of $62.6 million from the Broadway Bank and New Century Bank FDIC-assisted transactions completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The results for the second quarter of 2011 include an increase in the provision for credit losses of approximately $50 million required in connection with the loan sale transaction described below.

Net interest income was $82.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 4.9%, from $86.7 million for the comparable period in 2010. See “Net Interest Margin” section below for further analysis.

Provision for credit losses was $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $85.0 million in second quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs were $92.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $67.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

During the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain performing, sub-performing and non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale, which included $156.3 million in non-performing loans. We received $194.6 million in proceeds (net of expenses) and recognized approximately $87 million in charge-offs, which required us to increase our provision for credit losses by approximately $50 million. During the second quarter of 2011, the migration of our loans to non-performing and potential problem loan status slowed and real estate values stabilized. Excluding the loan sale, our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 would have been approximately $11 million and $6 million, respectively.

See “Asset Quality” below for further analysis of the allowance for loan losses.

Other income decreased for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to a gain recognized on the Broadway and New Century FDIC-assisted transaction completed during the second quarter of 2010, totaling $62.6 million. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Loan service fees increased in the second quarter of 2011 due to an increase in prepayment penalties and exit fees received on early payoffs. Deposit service fees decreased from the second quarter of 2010 due to changes in customer usage and product changes. Net lease financing income increased mainly as a result of an increase in the sales of third party equipment maintenance contracts and favorable lease renewals. Trust and asset management fees increased primarily due to an increase in assets under management as a result of new clients added over the past year and an increase in equity values. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was higher due to a death benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 and an improvement in overall asset yields. Other income was also impacted by lower gains on sales of investment securities in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010. Accretion of indemnification asset decreased as expected due to a corresponding decrease in the indemnification asset balance from the second quarter of 2010. Other operating income decreased in the second quarter of 2011 as a result of higher valuation adjustments on other real estate owned of $4.6 million, which was partly offset by $1.8 million in gains recognized in the second quarter of 2011 on loans held for sale as of March 31, 2011.

higher revenues. Occupancy expense decreased as a result of decreased property taxes. Computer services expense decreased in the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to conversion expenditures on FDIC assisted transactions incurred in 2010. Professional and legal expense increased during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of higher loan remediation expenses. FDIC insurance premiums decreased due to lower deposit balances. Other real estate expense increased in the second quarter of 2011 as a result of an increase in property maintenance and real estate tax expense.

Income Taxes

The Company had an income tax benefit of $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to income tax expense of $9.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in income tax expense from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011 was due to the decrease in our pre-tax income.

Year-To-Date Results

The Company had a net loss of $422 thousand and net loss available to common stockholders of $5.6 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to net income of $20.1 million and a net income available to common stockholders of $15.0 million for the first six months of 2010. The results for the first six months of 2011 generated an annualized return on average assets of (0.01)% and an annualized return on average common equity of (0.98)% compared to 0.39% and 2.69%, respectively, for the same period in 2010.

Net interest income was $164.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 1.7%, from $167.5 million for the comparable period in 2010. See “Net Interest Margin” section below for further analysis.

Provision for credit losses was $101.3 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $132.2 million in first six months of 2010. Net charge-offs were $146.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $113.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs have been impacted by the loan sale in the second quarter of 2011 noted earlier. We recognized approximately $87 million in charge-offs as a result of the sale, which required us to increase our provision for credit losses by approximately $50 million.

See “Asset Quality” below for further analysis of the allowance for loan losses.

Other expense increased by $5.9 million from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to additional employees added due to the New Century and Broadway FDIC-assisted transactions, problem loan remediation staff added throughout the prior year and increased leasing commissions on higher sales. Computer services expense decreased primarily due to conversion expenditures on FDIC assisted transactions incurred in 2010. Professional and legal expense increased during the first half of 2011 as a result of higher loan remediation expenses. FDIC insurance premiums decreased due to lower deposit balances. Other real estate expense increased as a result of an increase in property maintenance and real estate tax expense. Additionally, other expense was impacted by a $1.0 million fixed asset impairment charge incurred in the first quarter of 2011 caused by our decision to close a branch.

Income Taxes

The Company had an income tax benefit of $11.5 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to income tax expense of $6.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in income tax expense from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to the decrease in our pre-tax income. The year-to-date benefit includes a $2 million increase in deferred tax assets as a result of the Illinois corporate income tax rate increase which was enacted and reflected in the first quarter of 2011.

Net interest income was $164.6 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 1.7% from $167.5 million for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease in net interest income was due to a decrease in average earning assets, partially offset by a higher net interest margin. Our net interest margin increased due to a decrease in our average cost of funds as a result of an improved deposit mix and downward repricing of interest bearing deposits. Our non-performing loans reduced our net interest margin during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 by approximately 17 basis points and 19 basis points, respectively.

Volume and Rate Analysis of Net Interest Income

The following table presents the extent to which changes in volume and interest rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected our interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) change attributable to a combination of changes in rate and volume (change in rates multiplied

Balance Sheet

Total assets decreased $342.6 million, or 3.3%, from $10.3 billion at December 31, 2010 to $10.0 billion at June 30, 2011. Investment securities increased $522.1 million from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 mostly as a result of the deployment of interest-earning cash balances. Gross loans decreased by $679.8 million, or 10.3%, to $5.9 billion at June 30, 2011 from $6.6 billion at December 31, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, we sold certain performing, sub-performing and non-performing loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $281.6 million. See “Loan Portfolio” section below for further analysis.

Total liabilities decreased by $343.2 million, or 3.8%, from $9.0 billion at December 31, 2010 to $8.6 billion at June 30, 2011. Total deposits decreased by $434.4 million, or 5.3%. to $7.7 billion at June 30, 2011 from $8.2 billion at December 31, 2010. Consistent with our strategy, deposits decreased as a decrease in deposit rates paid has resulted in a reduction of balances from rate sensitive customers. Other liabilities increased to $244.0 million due to security purchases not yet settled. Total stockholders’ equity increased $558 thousand to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010.

Purchased credit-impaired loans have evidence of deterioration in credit quality prior to acquisition. Fair value of these loans as of the acquisition date includes estimates of credit losses. These loans are accounted for on a pool basis, and the pools are considered to be performing. This table also excludes loans held for sale.
(2)	This table excludes other real estate owned that related to FDIC-assisted transactions. Other real estate owned related to these transactions totaled $69.9 million at June 30, 2011, $44.7 million at December 31, 2010, and $75.2 million at June 30, 2010.

(4)	Calculated by adding partial charge-offs to both the numerator and denominator in the calculation.
(5)	Accruing restructured loans consists primarily of commercial and commercial real estate loans that have been modified and are performing in accordance with those modified terms.

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

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

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

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

General Loss Reserve. We maintain a general loan loss reserve for the four categories of commercial-related loans in our portfolio - commercial loans, commercial loans collateralized by the assignment of lease payments (lease loans), commercial real estate loans and construction real estate loans. We use a loan loss reserve model that incorporates the migration of loan risk rating and historical default data over a multi-year period. Under our loan risk rating system, each loan, with the exception of those included in large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, is risk rated between one and nine by the originating loan officer, Senior Credit Management, Loan Review or any loan committee. Loans rated one represent those loans least likely to default and a loan rated nine represents a loss. The probability of loans defaulting for each risk rating, sometimes referred to as default factors, are estimated based on the frequency with which loans migrate from one risk rating to another and to default status over time. Estimated loan default factors are multiplied by individual loan balances in each risk-rating category and again multiplied by an historical loss given default estimate for each loan type (which incorporates estimated recoveries) to determine an appropriate level of allowance by loan type. This approach is applied to the commercial, lease, commercial real estate, and construction real estate components of the portfolio.

We use a loan loss reserve model that incorporates the migration of loan risk ratings and historical default data over a multi-year period to develop estimated default factors (EDFs). The model tracks annual loan rating migrations by loan type and currently uses loan risk rating migrations for ten years. The migration data is adjusted by using average losses for an economic cycle and smoothed to develop EDFs by loan type, risk rating and maturity. EDFs are updated annually in December.

To account for current economic conditions, the general allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) also includes adjustments for macroeconomic factors. Macroeconomic factors adjust the ALLL upward or downward based on the current point in the economic cycle using predictive economic data and are applied to the loan loss model through a separate allowance element for the commercial, commercial real estate, construction real estate and lease loan components. To determine our macroeconomic factors, we use specific economic data that has been shown to be a statistically reliable predictor of industry loan losses relative to long term average loan losses. We annually review this data to determine that such a correlation continues to exist.

Our macroeconomic factors are based on regression analyses that reflect a high correlation between certain macroeconomic factors and industry wide charge-off rates. The correlation of over 25 indicators to charge-offs were tested (change in fed funds rate, change in personal income, durable goods orders, etc.). The following macroeconomic indicators resulted in the highest correlation with charge-offs:

Commercial and industrial loans and lease loans: Fed funds rate, Annual percent change in S&P 500, Annual percent change in unemployment.

Commercial real estate loans and construction loans: The two previous year’s Cook County commercial real estate net charge-off rate, Annual percent change in unemployment, Chicago area commercial real estate capitalization rate (overall).

Using the factors above, a predicted industry wide charge-off rate is calculated for commercial loans and lease loans based on the regression analyses. A predicted Chicago area charge-off rate is calculated for commercial real estate loans and construction loans. The predicted charge-off percentage is then compared to a cycle average charge-off percentage, and a macroeconomic adjustment factor is calculated. Additionally, as part of the standard calculation of the macroeconomic adjustment factor, it is assumed that charge-offs revert to the cycle average over a period of time. The macroeconomic adjustment factor is applied to each commercial loan type. Each year, we review the predictive nature of the macroeconomic factors by comparing actual charge-offs to the predicted model charge-offs.

Table of Contents

The macroeconomic factors added approximately $35 million and $39 million to the ALLL as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At each quarter end, potential problem loans are reviewed individually, with adjustments made to the general calculated reserve for each loan as deemed necessary. Specific adjustments are made depending on expected cash flows and/or the value of the collateral securing the loan. See discussion in “Specific Reserve” section below.

The general loss reserve was $104.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and $126.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in the general loss reserve was primarily due to the sale of sub-performing loans in the loan sale in the second quarter of 2011, and an overall decrease in loan balances during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Reserves on impaired loans are included in the “Specific Reserve” section below. See additional discussion in “Potential Problem Loans” below.

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

At each quarter-end, impaired loans are reviewed individually, with adjustments made to the general calculated reserve for each loan as deemed necessary. Specific adjustments are made depending on expected cash flows and/or the value of the collateral securing each loan. Generally, the Company obtains a current external appraisal (within 12 months) on real estate secured impaired loans. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analyses and contractual sales information. For appraisals that are more than six months old, we may further discount appraisal values. This discount is based on our evaluation of market conditions and is in addition to a reduction in value for potential sales costs and discounting that has been incorporated in the independent appraisal. As of June 30, 2011, almost all appraisals were completed within the previous 12 months.

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

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

The total specific reserve component of the allowance was $12.1 million as of June 30, 2011 and $51.8 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in specific reserve reflects the decrease in impaired loans mainly as the result of the loan sale in the second quarter of 2011, charge-offs on loans during the first quarter of 2011 and the reclassification of the reserve for unfunded credit commitments as a liability. See discussion in “Second Quarter Results” for additional discussion of the impacts of the economic environment on the loan portfolio.

Smaller Balance Homogenous Loans. Pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk and loss characteristics are also assessed for probable losses. These loan pools include consumer, residential real estate, home equity and indirect vehicle loans. Migration probabilities obtained from past due roll rate analyses are applied to current balances to forecast charge-offs over a one-year time horizon. The reserves for smaller balance homogenous loans totaled $13.9 million at June 30, 2011, and $14.0 million at December 31, 2010.

We consistently apply our methodology for determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses, but may adjust our methodologies and assumptions based on historical information related to charge-offs and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio. In this regard, we periodically review the following in order to validate our allowance for loan losses: historical net charge-offs as they relate to prior allowance for loan loss, comparison of historical migration years to the current migration year, and any significant changes in loan concentrations. In reviewing this data, we adjust qualitative factors within our allowance methodology to appropriately reflect any changes warranted by the validation process.

million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Provision for credit losses decreased by $31.0 million to $101.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $132.2 million in the same period of 2010. Excluding the effects of the loan sale transaction during the second quarter of 2011, which resulted in approximately $87 million in charge-offs and an increase in the provision for losses of approximately $50 million, the provision for credit losses during the first half of 2011 would have been approximately $51 million and charge-offs would have been approximately $59 million. The decrease in the required provision, excluding the effects of the loan sale transaction, was a result of lower downward migration of loans to non-performing status and higher collateral value underlying the loans that did migrate.

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

We utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. At scheduled meetings of the board of directors of MB Financial Bank, a watch list is presented, showing significant loan relationships listed as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” and “Doubtful.” Under our risk rating system noted above, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful loan classifications correspond to risk ratings six, seven, and eight, respectively. An asset is classified Substandard, or risk rated seven if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful, or risk rated eight have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss, or risk rated nine are those considered uncollectible and viewed as valueless assets and have been charged-off. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention are deemed to be Special Mention, or risk rated six.

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

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

Potential Problem Loans

We define potential problem loans as performing loans rated substandard, that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan (See “Asset Quality” section above for non-performing loans). We do not necessarily expect to realize losses on potential problem loans, but we recognize potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management. The aggregate principal amounts of potential problem loans as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 were approximately $234.8 million, and $291.7 million, respectively. Management believes it has established an adequate allowance for probable loan losses as appropriate under GAAP.

The decrease in potential problem loans was due primarily to the loan sale during the second quarter of 2011 discussed

earlier. Loans with balances of approximately $65.6 million prior to the transfer to loans held for sale were classified as potential problem loans.

Lease Investments

The lease portfolio is comprised of various types of equipment, generally technology related, including computer systems and satellite equipment, material handling and general manufacturing equipment. The credit quality of the lessee is often an investment grade public debt rating by Moody’s or Standard & Poors, or the equivalent as determined by us, and at times below investment grade.

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

Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risk related to the equipment ownership to the lessee are classified as direct financing. If these direct finance leases have non-recourse debt associated with them, they are further classified as leveraged leases, and the associated debt is netted with the outstanding balance in the consolidated financial statements. Interest income on direct finance and leveraged leases is recognized using methods which approximate a level yield over the term of the lease.

Operating leases are investments in equipment leased to other companies, where the residual component makes up more than 10% of the investment. The Company funds most of the lease equipment purchases internally, but has some loans at other banks which totaled $26.7 million at June 30, 2011, $13.1 million at December 31, 2010, and $16.9 million at June 30, 2010.

The lease residual value represents the present value of the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the lease. Lease residual values are reviewed quarterly and any write-downs, or charge-offs deemed necessary are recorded in the period in which they become known. Gains on leased equipment periodically result when a lessee renews a lease or purchases the equipment at the end of a lease, or the equipment is sold to a third party at a profit. Individual lease transactions can, however, result in a loss. This generally happens when, at the end of a lease, the lessee does not renew the lease or purchase the equipment. To mitigate this risk of loss, we usually limit individual leased equipment residuals (expected lease book values at the end of initial lease terms) to approximately $500 thousand per transaction and seek to diversify both the type of equipment leased and the industries in which the lessees to whom such equipment is leased participate. Often times, there are several individual lease schedules under one master lease. There were 2,612 leases at June 30, 2011 compared to 2,564 leases at December 31, 2010 and 2,369 leases at June 30, 2010. The average residual value per lease schedule was approximately $21 thousand at June 30,

2011 compared to $21 thousand at December 31, 2010 and $25 thousand at June 30, 2010. The average residual value per master lease schedule was approximately $177 thousand at June 30, 2011, $168 thousand at December 31, 2010, and $181 thousand at June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

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

Cash flows from operating activities primarily include results of operations for the period, adjusted for items in net income that did not impact cash. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $221.9 million to $365.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the loan sale in the second quarter of 2011.

Cash flows from investing activities reflects the impact of loans and investments acquired for the Company’s interest-earning asset portfolios, as well as cash flows from asset sales, the impact of acquisitions and FDIC-assisted transactions. The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $84.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $799.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This change in cash flows was mainly the result of the deployment of interest earning cash balances through the purchases of investment securities.

Cash flows from financing activities include transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from depositors, creditors or investors. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had net cash flows used in financing activities of

Table of Contents

$482.5 million compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $966.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to a smaller decrease in deposits during the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, rate sensitive customers related to Corus FDIC-assisted transaction withdrew deposits as rates paid were reduced.

We expect to have adequate cash to meet our liquidity needs. Liquidity management is monitored by an Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of members of management, which review historical funding requirements, current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.

The Company has numerous sources of liquidity including readily marketable investment securities, shorter-term loans within the loan portfolio, principal and interest cash flows from investments and loans, the ability to attract retail and public fund time deposits and to purchase brokered time deposits.

In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed or the Company is unable to retain brokered deposits, MB Financial Bank has established relationships with several large regional banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. While, at June 30, 2011, there were no firm lending commitments in place, management believes that MB Financial Bank could borrow approximately $185.0 million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. MB Financial Bank is a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $167.1 million outstanding in FHLB advances, and could borrow an additional amount of approximately $326.5 million. As a contingency plan for significant funding needs, the Asset/Liability Management Committee may also consider the sale of investment securities, selling securities under agreement to repurchase, or the temporary curtailment of lending activities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion of unpledged investment securities, excluding investment securities available for pledge at the FHLB.

See Notes 11 and 12 of the Financial Statements presented under Item 1 of this report for details of period end balances and other information for these various funding sources. There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Company’s contractual obligations at June 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s consolidated total risk-based capital ratio was 19.18%; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 17.11%; and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 11.16%. MB Financial Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.94%; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 14.87%; and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 9.67%. MB Financial Bank, N.A. was categorized as “Well-Capitalized” at June 30, 2011 under the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis and the addition of partial charge-offs to the amount of the allowance for loan losses and to the numerator and the denominator in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. Management believes that the addition of partial charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses and to the numerator and the denominator in the ratios of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans and to total loans may be useful to investors because it shows what our loan loss reserve levels would have been had the partial charge-offs not been taken. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin are contained in the tables under “Net Interest Margin.” Reconciliations of the allowance for loan losses including partial charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses, and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans including partial change offs to the same ratio without the addition of partial charge-offs, are contained in the table under “Asset Quality”.

Item 3. - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk and Asset Liability Management

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

Asset Liability Management. Management and our Treasury Group continually monitor our sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is our policy to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The strategy we employ to manage our interest rate risk is to measure our risk using an asset/liability simulation model. The model considers several factors to determine our potential exposure to interest rate risk, including measurement of repricing gaps, duration, convexity, value at risk, and the market value of portfolio equity under assumed changes in the level of interest rates, shape of the yield curves, and general market volatility. Management controls our interest rate exposure using several strategies, which include adjusting the maturities of securities in our investment portfolio, and limiting fixed rate loans or fixed rate deposits with terms of more than five years. We also use derivative instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage our interest rate risk. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

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

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

Variable or floating rate, assets and liabilities that reprice at similar times and have base rates of similar maturity may still be subject to interest rate risk. If financial instruments have different base rates, we are subject to basis risk reflecting the possibility that the spread from those base rates will deviate.

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

Measuring Interest Rate Risk. As noted above, interest rate risk can be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, therefore, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2011 that we anticipate, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined based on the earlier of the term to repricing or the term to repayment of the asset or liability. The table is intended to provide an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011 based on contractual maturities and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be reinvested and/or repriced because of contractual amortization and rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Loan and investment securities’ contractual maturities and amortization reflect expected prepayment assumptions. While NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts have adjustable rates, it is assumed that the interest rates on some of the accounts will not adjust immediately to changes in other interest rates.

Therefore, the information in the table is calculated assuming that NOW, money market and savings deposits will reprice as follows: 4%, 10% and 5%, respectively, in the first three months, 14%, 26%, and 15%, respectively, in the next nine months, 57%, 58% and 58%, respectively, from one year to five years, and 24%, 7%, and 21%, respectively over five years (dollars in thousands):

GAP/RSA	63.53		%	34.77		%	27.58		%	23.58		%	23.58		%

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Therefore, we do not rely on a gap analysis to manage our interest rate risk, but rather we use what we believe to be the more reliable simulation model relating to changes in net interest income.

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

Gradual	Changes in Net Interest Income Over Once Year Horizon
Changes in	At June 30, 2011				At December 31, 2010
Levels of	Dollar		Percentage		Dollar		Percentage
Interest Rates	Change		Change		Change		Change
+ 2.00%	$	7,059	2.22	%	$	1,607	0.50	%
+ 1.00%	$	2,924	0.92	%	$	473	0.10	%

In the interest rate sensitivity table above, changes in net interest income between June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 reflect changes in the composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, related interest rates, repricing frequencies, and the fixed or variable characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The changes in net interest income incorporate the impact of loan floors as well as shifts from low cost deposits to certificates of deposit in a rising rate environment.

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

Table of Contents

As a result of the current interest rate environment, the Company does not anticipate any significant declines in interest rates over the next twelve months. For this reason, we did not use an interest rate sensitivity simulation that assumes a gradual decline in the level of interest rates over the next twelve months.

Item 4. - Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out as of June 30, 2011 under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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