    LEAWOOD, Kan., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold Banc, (Nasdaq: GLDB), one of
the country's fastest growing community banking and financial services
organizations, announced today record results for the second quarter and six
month period ended June 30, 1999.
    Net earnings increased 146.5% to a record $3.4 million for the second
quarter of 1999, compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 1998, as
reported at this same time last year.  Net earnings per diluted share for the
second quarter of 1999 were $0.20, versus $0.13 per diluted share in the
previously reported prior year quarter, representing a 53.8% increase.
Results for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 included a 157.8%
increase in net earnings to $6.5 million, versus $2.5 million reported for the
same period in 1998.  Net earnings per diluted share for the first six months
of 1999 rose 58.3% to $0.38, compared to $0.24 per diluted share reported for
the year ago period.  After restating results to reflect the four acquisitions
completed in 1998 which were accounted for as poolings of interests, net
earnings for the second quarter of 1999 increased 22.4% and net earnings per
diluted share increased 17.6% over the second quarter of 1998.  For the first
six months of 1999, net earnings increased 26.8% and net earnings per diluted

    * June 30, 1998 data shown as previously reported excluding the effects of
      four pooling acquisitions completed in 1998.

    Michael W. Gullion, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented:  "We
again posted strong growth during the second quarter in net interest income,
non-interest income and net earnings.  Our return on equity was on target at
15.6% for the quarter.  Our return on assets for the quarter was 1.16%, as we
continue to make strides toward attaining our ROA goal of 1.5%."
    For the second quarter of 1999, non-interest income was $4.1 million, an
increase of 161.0% compared to $1.6 million reported for the second quarter of
1998.  The Company's ratio of non-interest income to net interest income for
the second quarter of 1999 was 41.0% compared to 32.1% as reported for the
second quarter of 1998.  Including the effects of the four pooling
acquisitions in 1998, non-interest income increased 93.2% from the prior year
second quarter, reflecting ongoing efforts to expand fee-based income.
    As previously noted, results for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
included a 157.8% increase in net earnings to $6.5 million, versus
$2.5 million reported for the same period in 1998.  Net earnings per diluted
share for the first six months of 1999 were $0.38, compared to $0.24 per
diluted share reported for the year ago period, representing a 58.3% increase.
After restating for the four acquisitions in 1998 accounted for as poolings of
interests, net earnings increased 26.8% and net earnings per diluted share
increased 22.6% for the first six months of 1999 compared to the prior year
period.
    Gullion concluded:  "These results reflect the success of our dual efforts
to grow our community banking financial services franchise both internally and
by acquisition.  The recently announced signing of a definitive agreement to
acquire a full service mortgage banking company -- which will provide our
local banks with cross-selling opportunities and is a significant source of
fee-based income from the origination and servicing of mortgage loans --
should augment this strategy.  We are pleased to welcome the Regional Mortgage
Group into the Gold Banc family."
