MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2010 and 2009

(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 ended March 31, 2010 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, 2009 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 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 2009, MB Financial Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Glenwood, Illinois-based Heritage Community Bank (“Heritage”), Oak Forest, Illinois-based InBank, Chicago-based Corus Bank, N.A. (“Corus”), and Aurora, Illinois-based Benchmark Bank (“Benchmark”), in transactions facilitated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). For the Heritage and Benchmark transactions, MB Financial Bank entered into loss-share agreements with the 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, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information.

The fair values for Benchmark, InBank and Corus are preliminary for loans, other real estate owned, other intangibles, and, in the case of Benchmark, the FDIC indemnification asset, as the Company continues to analyze the portfolios and the underlying risks and collateral values of the assets. Purchase accounting for the Heritage transaction is complete. There were no significant fair value adjustments during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

NOTE 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

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

10-Q Index

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

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,	March 31,
	2010	2009

Income (loss) from continuing operations	$ 947	$ (28,257)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	-	152

Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax	10,327	(5,454)
Comprehensive income (loss)	$ 11,274	$ (33,559)

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 shareholders 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. Non-vested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are considered participating securities 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 shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, all of the dilutive stock based awards are considered anti-dilutive and not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

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).

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010	2009
Distributed earnings allocated to common stock	$ 513	$ 4,181
Undistributed earnings (loss) allocated to common stock	431	(32,252)

The total number of security positions in the investment portfolio in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2010 was 125.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 March 31, 2010, 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 unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields at which the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2010, 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.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination, including loans purchased in the Heritage, InBank, Corus, and Benchmark 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.

The preliminary 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 the loan collateral. The fair value of loans that were not credit-impaired was determined based on preliminary estimates of losses on defaults. Due to the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC for the Heritage and Benchmark transactions, the Bank recorded receivables from the FDIC equal to the corresponding reimbursement percentages on the estimated losses embedded in the loan portfolios.

10-Q Index

The carrying amount of covered loans at March 31, 2010, consisted of purchased credit-impaired loans and non-credit-impaired loans as shown in the following table (in thousands):

	Heritage		Benchmark
	Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans	Purchased Non-Credit-Impaired Loans	Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans	Purchased Non-Credit-Impaired Loans	Total
Commercial related loans	$ 30,186	$ 16,242	$ 23,803	$ 35,862	$ 106,093
Other loans	2,628	35,665	539	10,126	48,958
Total covered loans	$ 32,814	$ 51,907	$ 24,342	$ 45,988	$ 155,051

Estimated reimbursable amounts from the
FDIC under the loss-share agreement	$ 5,872	$ 4,100	$ 15,242	$ 4,118	$ 29,332

Estimated reimbursable amounts from the FDIC related to purchased credit-impaired loans has decreased by more than $30 million since inception of the loss-share arrangement, as losses have been reimbursed by the FDIC. The reimbursable amount allocated to purchased non-credit-impaired loans is a result of the uncertainty of collections on loans currently performing.

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 three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is a majority owned subsidiary of the Company for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by management.

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

NOTE 8. NEW AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” amended prior guidance to provide that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The new authoritative guidance does not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310 will be effective in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Upon initial adoption of the authoritative guidance, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool under Subtopic 310-30. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration. Management is currently evaluating the new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 310 and its potential effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” amended prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amended prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

10-Q Index

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” amends prior accounting guidance to amend and expand disclosure requirements about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, clarified existing fair value disclosure requirements about the appropriate level of disaggregation, and clarified that a description of valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value was required for recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The new required disclosures are included in Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements.

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
	March 31,	March 31,
	2010	2009

Total cost of share-based payment plans during the period	$ 1,242	$ 1,249

Amount of related income tax benefit recognized in income	$ 477	$ 477

The Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in 1997. In April 2007, the Omnibus Plan was modified to add 2,250,000 authorized shares for a total of 6,000,000 shares of common stock 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 March 31, 2010, there were 782,148 shares available for grant.

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.

During 2006, in connection with the acquisition of First Oakbrook Bancshares (FOBB), the Company assumed 251,312 FOBB stock options. The options assumed and any options that subsequently expired do not affect the total number of shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, 2,481 FOBB options were exercised. As of March 31, 2010, 104,133 FOBB options remained outstanding.

10-Q Index

The following table provides additional information about options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

	Expired or cancelled	(225)	$ 20.00
	Forfeited	-	$ -
Options outstanding as of March 31, 2010		3,199,737	$ 28.96	5.42	$ 3.1

Options exercisable as of March 31, 2010		1,512,282	$ 28.90	2.90	$ 2.0

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 three month period ended March 31, 2010:

		March 31,
		2010
Expected volatility		48.26%
Risk free interest rate		2.20%
Dividend yield		1.00%
Expected life		4 years

Weighted average fair value per option of options granted during the period		$ 8.35

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $29 thousand and $44 thousand, respectively.

The following is a summary of changes in nonvested shares of restricted stock and nonvested restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

		Number of	Weighted Average

	Vested	(25,054)	23.78
	Cancelled	-	-
Shares Outstanding at March 31, 2010		517,472	$ 15.98

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 three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 3,828 shares of Salary Stock at a weighted average issuance price of $21.17.

10-Q Index

As of March 31, 2010, there was $7.4 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 March 31, 2010, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized was two years.

10-Q Index

The Company had notes payable to banks totaling $18.2 million and $20.7 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which as of March 31, 2010, were accruing interest at rates ranging from 3.90% to 10.00%. Lease investments includes equipment with an amortized cost of $25.5 million and $27.8 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, that is pledged as collateral on these notes.

The Company had a $40 million ten-year structured repurchase agreement which is non-putable until 2011 as of March 31, 2010, with an interest rate paid by the Company that floats at 3-month LIBOR less 37 basis points, repricing quarterly. The counterparty to the repurchase agreement has a one-time put option in 2011. If the option is not exercised, the repurchase agreement converts to a fixed rate borrowing at 4.75% for the remaining term, which would expire in 2016.

MB Financial Bank has a $50 million outstanding subordinated debt facility. Interest is payable at a rate of 3 month LIBOR + 1.70%. The debt matures on October 1, 2017.

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 trust preferred securities are issues that 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. FOBB Capital Trusts I and III were established by 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.

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.

10-Q Index

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 $10.0 million at March 31, 2010. 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

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 March 31, 2010 was approximately $32 thousand and the net amount receivable for December 31, 2009 was approximately $92 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 March 31, 2010, the Company's credit exposure relating to interest rate swaps was not significant.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments are summarized below as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the following financial instruments were outstanding, the contractual amounts of which represent off-balance sheet credit risk (in thousands):

		Contract Amount
		March 31,	December 31,
		2010	2009
Commitments to extend credit:
	Home equity lines	$ 336,460	$ 330,856
	Other commitments	1,046,567	1,135,137

Letter of credit:
	Standby	121,656	136,250
	Commercial	1,603	1,233

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 March 31, 2010, the longest maturity for any standby letter of credit was December 31, 2015. A fee of at least 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 $122.8 million in letter of credit commitments outstanding at March 31, 2010, approximately $15.7 million of the letters of credit have been issued or renewed since December 31, 2009.

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

10-Q Index

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 March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $28.5 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.

10-Q Index

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. 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.

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. 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.

(1) Liabilities associated with assets held in trust for deferred compensation

At December 31, 2009, the Company measured $105.8 million of residential mortgage-backed securities using Level 1 inputs. At March 31, 2010, quoted prices in active markets for these securities were not available, as the December 31, 2009 quoted prices were based on recent Company transactions. Therefore, these securities were measured using Level 2 inputs at March 31, 2010.

The following table presents additional information about financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

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 March 31, 2010, 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 loans, the Company obtains a current independent appraisal of loan collateral. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information. For substantially all impaired loans with an appraisal more than 6 months old, the Company further discounts market prices by 10% to 30% and in some cases, up to an additional 50%. This discount is based on our evaluation of related 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.

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 March 31, 2010 are included in the table below (in thousands):

10-Q Index

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

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

Cash and due from banks 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.

10-Q Index

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, which increased capital for the Company by approximately $31.9 million.

NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 23, 2010, MB Financial Bank assumed certain deposits and acquired certain assets of Chicago-based Broadway Bank and New Century Bank in transactions facilitated by the FDIC. Based on financial data as of February 28, 2010, MB Financial Bank assumed approximately $752 million of deposits ($471 million from New Century Bank and $281 million from Broadway Bank). Approximately $795 million of Broadway Bank brokered deposits were not assumed. No deposit premium was paid on the assumed deposits. Assets were purchased at a discount of 19.6% for Broadway Bank assets and 9.1% for New Century Bank assets, and are subject to loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC under which MB Financial Bank will share in 20% of the losses on approximately $1.3 billion of the assets acquired ($874 million from Broadway Bank and $431 million from New Century Bank). At the expiration of the loss-sharing agreements, which is expected to occur in ten years, MB Financial Bank may be required to make a payment to the FDIC in one or both transactions if the actual losses on covered assets are less than expected.

In addition, as part of these transactions, MB Financial Bank granted to the FDIC a cash-settled value appreciation instrument totaling 100,000 units. Each unit mirrors one share of the Company’s common stock. Upon exercise, the instrument entitles the FDIC to a cash payment from the Bank equal to the difference between the average volume weighted price of the Company’s common stock over the two trading days immediately preceding the exercise date and the exercise price of $23.4315, multiplied by the number of units exercised. The FDIC exercised the instrument in full on May 3, 2010, resulting in a payment to the FDIC of approximately $190 thousand.

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 wholly owned subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise.

Overview

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for loan losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for loan losses. The provision for loan 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. The provision for loan losses reflects the amount that we believe is adequate to cover potential credit losses in our loan portfolio. Additionally, our net income is affected by other income and other expenses. For the three month period under report, other income consisted of loan service fees, deposit service fees, net lease financing income, brokerage fees, asset management and trust fees, net gains on the sale of investment securities available for sale, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, net gains (losses) on sale of other assets, and other operating income. 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, and other operating expenses. Our net income also is affected by discontinued operations, which for the periods under report represents the results of operations from our merchant card processing business, which we sold during the third quarter of 2009. We entered into a revenue sharing agreement with the purchaser of that business to offer merchant card processing services to our bank customers on a going forward basis. We expect that the impact on our future earnings per share and operating results from the sale of our merchant card processing business, including any income we earn under the revenue sharing agreement, will be immaterial. Additionally, dividends on preferred shares reduce net income available to common shareholders.

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 growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses primarily as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expense. Growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts affects other income, including service fees as well as other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses.

The Company had net income of $947 thousand and a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $28.1 million and a net loss available to common shareholders of $30.6 million for the first quarter of 2009. Our 2010 first quarter results generated an annualized return on average assets of 0.04% and an annualized return on average common equity of (0.61%), compared to (1.30%) and (14.01%), respectively, for the same period in 2009. Fully diluted loss per common share for the first quarter of 2010 was ($0.03) compared to ($0.88) per common share in the 2009 first quarter.

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 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.

10-Q Index

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 March 31, 2010, the aggregate residual value of the equipment leased under our direct finance, leveraged, and operating leases totaled $57.4 million. See Note 1 and Note 7 of the notes to our December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had $389 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had $21 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 the financial asset or paid to transfer the 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, 2009, the Company completed four 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, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information.

Results of Operations

First Quarter Results

The Company had net income of $947 thousand and a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $28.1 million and a net loss available to common shareholders of $30.6 million for the first quarter of 2009. The results for the first quarter of 2010 generated an annualized return on average assets of 0.04% and an annualized return on average common equity of (0.61%), compared to (1.30%) and (14.01%), respectively, for the same period in 2009.

Net interest income was $80.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $24.8 million, or 44.2% from $56.0 million for the comparable period in 2009. See "Net Interest Margin" section below for further analysis.

Provision for loan losses was $47.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to $89.7 million in first quarter of 2009. Net charge-offs were $46.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $54.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

The underlying value of collateral on impaired loans continued to deteriorate during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Overall, the business environment has been adverse for many households and businesses in the United States, including those in the Chicago metropolitan area. The business environment began to significantly deteriorate beginning in the third quarter of 2008 and continued deteriorating through and including the first quarter of 2010. Single family homes, condominiums, retail property, manufacturing property, and vacant land all continued to experience significant decreases in demand due to the worsening economy. As a result, declines in the values of real estate securing our loans occurred, requiring higher reserves on impaired and potential problem loans.

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

Total other income		$ 26,718	$ 28,402	$ (1,684)	(6%)

Other income decreased for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to decreases in net gain on sale of investment securities and other operating income, partially offset by increases in deposit service fees and trust and asset management fees. Deposit service fees increased primarily due to an increase in commercial deposit fees related to the FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Trust and asset management fees increased primarily due to an increase in assets under management as a result of organic growth and an increase in the market value of assets under management. Other operating income was impacted by a net loss recognized on other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared with a net gain recognized on OREO of $722 thousand in the first quarter of 2009. As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 23, 2010 we completed two additional FDIC-assisted transactions. We expect other income in the second quarter of 2010 to include a significant preliminary gain from these transactions, though we cannot yet quantify this preliminary gain.

Other expense increased from the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to the FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009 increased salaries and employee benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, other intangibles amortization expense and FDIC insurance premiums by approximately $4.0 million, $1.5 million, $599 thousand and $796 thousand, respectively. The FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009 increased total other expense from the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010 by approximately $8.2 million. Additionally, other operating expenses increased due to OREO and non-performing loan related expense.

Income Taxes

The Company had an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to an income tax benefit of $26.0 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in income tax benefit recognized from the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010 was due to our results of operations.

Net interest income was $80.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $24.8 million, or 44.2% from $56.0 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in net interest income was due to a higher level of interest earning assets and a significant improvement in our net interest margin. Interest earning assets increased largely due to our FDIC-assisted transactions completed in 2009. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Our net interest margin increased due to a decrease in our cost of funds related to certificates of deposit repricing lower and improved credit spreads on new and renewed loans. Our non-performing loans reduced our net interest margin during the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2009 by approximately 18 basis points and 16 basis points, respectively.

Balance Sheet

Total assets decreased $680.2 million or 6.3% from $10.9 billion at December 31, 2009 to $10.2 billion at March 31, 2010. Investment securities available for sale decreased $692.7 million from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 mostly as a result of securities sales, the proceeds of which were used to fund higher rate CD run-off. . The proceeds also caused an increase in our interest bearing deposits with banks from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. Net loans decreased by $110.4 million, or 1.7%, to $6.2 billion at March 31, 2010 from $6.3 billion at December 31, 2009. See “Loan Portfolio” section below for further analysis.

Total liabilities decreased by $721.5 million, or 7.5% to $8.9 billion at March 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009. Total deposits decreased by $628.1 million or 7.2% to $8.1 billion at March 31, 2010 from $8.7 billion at December 31, 2009. As noted above, we used a portion of the proceeds from investment security sales to fund higher rate CD run-off during the first quarter of 2010.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $41.3 million, or 3.3% to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2010 compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in additional paid-in capital and partially due to an increase in unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale. Additional paid-in capital increased by $32.8 million, due to proceeds received pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.

The increase in non-performing loans was primarily a result of continued weakening economic conditions discussed above in “Results of Operations – First Quarter Results”. Borrowers migrated to higher (worse) risk ratings as economic conditions, especially as reflected in the value of commercial real estate, deteriorated during the three months ending March 31, 2010.

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.

10-Q Index

The general allowance for loan losses also includes estimated losses resulting from macroeconomic factors and imprecision of our loan loss model. Macroeconomic factors adjust the allowance for loan losses upward or downward based on the current point in the economic cycle 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 a statistical correlation to loan losses. We annually review this data to determine that such a correlation continues to exist. Additionally, as the factors are only updated annually, we periodically review the macroeconomic factors in order to conclude they are adequate based on current economic conditions.

Model imprecision accounts for the possibility that our limited loan loss history may result in inaccurate estimated default and loss given default factors. Factors for imprecision modify estimated default factors calculated by our migration analysis and are based on the standard deviation of each estimated default factor.

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 $110.4 million as of March 31, 2010, and $118.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in the general loss reserve was primarily due to loans migrating from performing loans to impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 the loan. For a majority of impaired 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. For substantially all impaired loans with an appraisal more than 6 months old, the Company often further discounts market prices by 10% to 30% and in some cases, up to an additional 50%. This discount is based on our evaluation of related 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.

The total specific reserve component of the allowance was $55.4 million as of March 31, 2010 and $46.0 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase in specific reserve reflects the increase in impaired loans and continued deterioration in the value of collateral securing impaired loans. See discussion in “First 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. For improved accuracy, indirect vehicle loan losses are estimated using a combination of our historical loss statistics as well as industry loss statistics. The reserves for smaller balance homogenous loans totaled $12.0 million at March 31, 2010, and $12.6 million at December 31, 2009.

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.

Net charge-offs decreased $7.9 million to $46.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $54.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. As noted in “First Quarter Results,” elevated levels of charge-offs were primarily due to continued weakness of our borrowers’ ability to repay and continued deterioration in the value of collateral securing impaired loans.

Provision for loan losses decreased by $42.5 million to $47.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $89.7 million in the same period of 2009. The provisions for loan losses were primarily the result of migration of loans to non-performing status and the deterioration in the value of collateral securing non-performing loans. See discussion in “First Quarter Results” for additional discussion of the impacts of the economic environment on the loan portfolio.

10-Q Index

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are charged to earnings through the provision for loan 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 our 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 March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009 were approximately $296.4 million, and $233.4 million, respectively.

The majority of the increase in potential problem loans was due to the migration of commercial real estate loans. As noted earlier, the increase in potential problem loans was primarily due to the continued deterioration in underlying collateral values and the overall economic environment during the three months ended March 31, 2010. See discussion in “First Quarter Results” for additional discussion of the impacts of the economic environment on the loan portfolio.

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.

Lease investments, net		$ 138,929	$ 144,966	$ 117,648

(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 $18.2 million at March 31, 2010, $20.7 million at December 31, 2009 and $26.2 million at March 31, 2009.

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 2,573 leases at March 31, 2010 compared to 2,489 leases at December 31, 2009 and 2,062 leases at March 31, 2009. The average residual value per lease schedule was approximately $22 thousand at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and $23 thousand at March 31, 2009. The average residual value per master lease schedule was approximately $205 thousand at March 31, 2010, $177 thousand at December 31, 2009, and $182 thousand at March 31, 2009.

The decrease in residential mortgage-backed securities was due to investment security sales during the three months ended March 31, 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 $18.7 million to $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to our results of operations.

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. Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $668.8 million to $775.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due an increase in cash provided by our investment securities. As noted above, we realized a portion of our unrealized securities gains and used the sale proceeds to fund higher rate CD run-off and better position our balance sheet for a rising rate environment.

Cash flows from financing activities include transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from depositors, creditors or investors. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had net cash flows used in financing activities of $669.1 million, compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of $59.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to the run-off of higher rate CDs during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

10-Q Index

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 March 31, 2010, there were no firm lending commitments in place, management believes that MB Financial Bank could borrow approximately $240.0 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had $211.1 million outstanding in FHLB advances, and could borrow an additional amount of approximately $286.9 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion of unpledged securities, excluding 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 March 31, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2010, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.39%; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 14.42% and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 10.30%. MB Financial Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.17%; Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.19% and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio was 8.67%. MB Financial Bank, N.A. was categorized as “Well-Capitalized” at March 31, 2010 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 ratios of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans and to total loans. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance. 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 ratios of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans and total loans including partial change offs to the same ratios without the addition of partial charge-offs, are contained in the tables under “Asset Quality” and “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

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.

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.

10-Q Index

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 March 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2010 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.

10-Q Index

Therefore, the information in the table is calculated assuming that NOW, money market and savings deposits will reprice as follows: 4%, 7% and 5%, respectively, in the first three months, 14%, 25%, and 16%, respectively, in the next nine months, 58%, 61% and 58%, respectively, from one year to five years, and 24%, 7%, and 21%, respectively over five years (dollars in thousands):

GAP/RSA		60.58%	24.69%	18.71%	18.68%	18.68%

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 March 31, 2010		At December 31, 2009
Levels of	Dollar	Percentage	Dollar	Percentage
Interest Rates	Change	Change	Change	Change
+ 2.00%	$ 7,289	2.22%	$ 8,856	2.60%
+ 1.00%	$ 3,889	1.19%	$ 6,425	1.89%

In the interest rate sensitivity table above, changes in net interest income between March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 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 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.

10-Q Index

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 March 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2010, 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 have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which 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.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. - Risk Factors

Our strategy of pursuing acquisitions exposes us to financial, execution and operational risks that could negatively affect us.

We pursue a strategy of supplementing internal growth by acquiring other financial institutions or their assets and liabilities that will help us fulfill our strategic objectives and enhance our earnings. There are risks associated with this strategy, including the following:

·	We may be exposed to potential asset quality issues or unknown or contingent liabilities of the banks, businesses, assets, and liabilities we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially negatively affected;

·	Prices at which acquisitions can be made fluctuate with market conditions. We have experienced times during which acquisitions could not be made in specific markets at prices we considered acceptable and expect that we will experience this condition in the future;

The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity into our company to make the transaction economically successful. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers of the acquired business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully and with minimal effect on the acquired business and its customers, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of particular acquisitions within the expected time frame, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful. These risks are present in our recently completed FDIC-assisted transaction involving our assumption of deposits and the acquisition of assets of Broadway Bank and New Century Bank;

MB Financial Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC as part of the Heritage, Benchmark, Broadway Bank and New Century Bank transactions. These loss sharing agreements require that MB Financial Bank follow certain servicing procedures as specified in the agreement. A failure to follow these procedures or any other breach of the agreement by MB Financial Bank could result in the loss of FDIC reimbursement of losses on covered loans and other real estate owned, which could have a material negative affect on our financial condition and results of operations;

·	To finance an acquisition, we may borrow funds, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or raise additional capital, which could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders; and

·	We have completed various acquisitions and opened additional banking offices in the past few years that enhanced our rate of growth. We may not be able to continue to sustain our past rate of growth or to grow at all in the future.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no material changes to the factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
