             Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1:  GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, the
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Southwest
Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


NOTE 2:  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (the Bank).  All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.


NOTE 3:  RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which establishes
accounting standards for such assets, on January 1, 1996.  Also on that date,
the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights,
which amends the accounting for the rights to service mortgage loans, however
acquired, and requires the Company to recognize as separate assets those rights
to service mortgage loans for others.  SFAS No. 122 also requires the Company to
evaluate whether amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights are impaired.
Adoption of SFAS Nos. 121 and 122 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value method and disclosure
standards for stock-based employee compensation arrangements, such as stock
purchase plans and stock options. SFAS No. 123 became effective January 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages, but does not require, compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply Accounting Principles
Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the
intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue to

                            SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets increased by $62.3 million, or 9%, from $711.1
million at December 31, 1995 to $773.4 million at June 30, 1996.

Loans were $578.8 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $46.8 million, or 9%,
compared to December 31, 1995.  The Company experienced its most significant
increases in the categories of commercial loans, which increased by $21.9
million, or 12%, real estate construction loans, which increased by $14.0
million, or 42%, residential mortgages, which increased by $10.0 million, or
23%, and commercial mortgages, which increased by $5.2 million, or 3%.  These
increases were offset by a $5.5 million, or 8% reduction  in government-
guaranteed student loans.  At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was
$6.5 million, or 1.13% of total loans, compared to $5.8 million, or 1.09% of
total loans, at December 31, 1995.

Investment securities were $142.2 at June 30, 1996, a reduction of $5.4 million,
or 4%, compared to December 31, 1995.

The Company's deposits increased by $69.3 million, or 11%, from $634.4 million
at December 31, 1995 to $703.7 million at June 30, 1996.  This increase occurred
primarily in time deposits.

Shareholders' equity increased by $1.8 million, or 3%, due primarily to first
and second quarter earnings, net of dividends declared on common and preferred
stock.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net Income

Net income for the first six months of 1996 was $3.9 million, a $1.3 million, or
50%, increase from the $2.6 million earned during the same period in 1995.
Earnings per common share for the first six months of 1996 were $0.83, after the
deduction of preferred stock dividends, compared to $0.70 for the first six
months of 1995.  Average common shares outstanding were 3,758,029 and 3,755,228,
respectively.  The Company issued 690,000 shares of Series A, 9.20% Cumulative
Preferred Stock in the third quarter of 1995.  Net interest income increased
$3.2 million, or 27%, for the first six months of 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995.  This increase in net interest income, as well as an $895,000,
or 41%, increase in other income, offset a $1.1 million, or 12%, increase in
other expenses, a $900,000, or 120%, increase in provision for loan loss and an
$806,000, or 58%, increase in taxes.  For the first six months of 1996, the
return on average total equity was 12.85% and the return on average common
equity was 14.27% compared to the 13.33% return on average equity for the first
six months of 1995.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $15.3 million for the first six months of 1996
from $12.1 million for the same period in 1995 as continued growth in the loan
portfolio enabled the Company to post a $5.0 million increase in interest income
that exceeded the $1.7 million increase in interest expense during the period.
Yields on the Company's interest-earning assets increased by 13 basis points,
and the rates paid on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities declined by 8
basis points, resulting in an increase in the interest rate 



                                       7

 
spread to 3.57% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 3.36% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to
average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 119.07% for the first six
months of 1996 from 115.84% for the first six months of 1995.  This percentage
increase was, in part, the result of the use of proceeds from the Company's July
1995 Preferred stock issuance to fund interest-earning assets.

Total interest income for the first six months of 1996 was $30.7 million, up 19%
from $25.7 million during the same period in 1995.  The principal factors
providing greater interest income were the $99.0 million, or 22%, increase in
the volume of average loans outstanding and the increase in yields earned on
loans and investment securities.  The Company's loan yields increased to 9.59%
for the first six months of 1996 from 9.50% in 1995.  During the same period,
the Company's yield on investment securities declined to 6.11% from 6.25% as a
result of calls of relatively high-yielding Agency securities.

Total interest expense for the first six months of 1996 was $15.4 million, an
increase of 13% from $13.6 million for the same period in 1995.  The increase in
total interest expense can be attributed to an increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities of $72.3 million, or 14%.  During the same period, the rates
paid on average interest-bearing liabilities declined to 5.25%  from 5.33%.

Other Income

Other income increased by $895,000 for the first six months of 1996 compared to
the first six months of 1995 primarily due to increased gains on sales of loans
receivable and investment securities.  The increase in gains on sales of loans
receivable reflected higher sales of student loans and mortgage loans.  Sales of
student loans during the first six months of 1996 were $17.2 million compared to
$16.2 million for the same period in 1995.  Sales of mortgage loans increased to
$26.8 million for the first six months of 1996 compared to $9.9 million for the
same period in 1995.  The gain on sales of investment securities occurred when
$4.6 million in Agency securities classified as "held to maturity" and $11.2
million in Agency securities classified as "available for sale", originally
purchased at a discount, were called prior to their stated maturity date.

Other Expenses

The Company's other expenses increased $1.1 million for the first six months of
1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.  This increase was primarily the
result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits, which increased $1.1
million as a result of a 15% increase in staffing.  The increase in staffing is
related to the expansion of the Company's asset and deposit bases.  In addition,
occupancy expense increased $166,000 and general and administrative expense
increased $295,000 compared to 1995.  These increases were offset by a $370,000
reduction in FDIC and other insurance expense.  The increase in occupancy
expense was due primarily to the leasing of additional office space and the
depreciation on furniture and equipment purchased to furnish those new offices.

The reduction in FDIC and other insurance for the six month periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 was due to a reduction in premiums, beginning July 1, 1995, as
the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), of which the Bank is a member, achieved its
statutory reserve ratio.  If certain legislation currently being considered by
Congress is enacted, the Bank will be required to pay a special assessment to
the FDIC with respect to deposits it acquired from a savings association in
1991.  It is not known whether this legislation will be enacted or what the
amount of the special assessment will be if it is enacted.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts deemed necessary to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.  The adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses is determined by management based upon a number of
factors including, among others, analytical reviews of loan loss experience in
relationship to outstanding loans and commitments; unfunded loan commitments;
problem 


                                       8

 
and nonperforming loans and other loans presenting credit concerns; trends in
loan growth, portfolio composition and quality; use of appraisals to estimate
the value of collateral; and management's judgment with respect to current and
expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan portfolio.
Changes in the allowance may occur because of changing economic conditions, and
economic prospects or the financial position of borrowers. Based upon this
review, management established an allowance of $6.5 million, or 1.13% of total
loans, at June 30, 1996 compared to an allowance of $5.8 million, or 1.09% of
total loans at December 31, 1995. During the first six months of 1996 and 1995,
the provisions for loan losses were $1.7 million and $750,000, respectively. The
larger provision for loan losses during the first six months of 1996 was due to
the need for greater general reserves in light of the increase in the size of
the loan portfolio and higher historical charge-off ratios.

Taxes on Income

The Company's income tax expense for the first six months of 1996 and 1995 was
$2.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  The Company's income tax expense
for the second quarters of 1996 and 1995 was $1.1 million and $687,000,
respectively.  The Company's effective tax rates have been lower than the 34%
Federal and 6% State statutory rates primarily because of tax-exempt income on
municipal obligations and loans.


FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $2.0 million, a $712,000, or 56%,
increase from the $1.3 million earned during the same period in 1995.  Earnings
per common share for the second quarter of 1996 were $0.42, after the deduction
of preferred stock dividends, compared to $0.34 for the second quarter of 1995.
Average common shares outstanding were 3,759,198 and 3,755,228, respectively.
The Company issued 690,000 shares of Series A, 9.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock
in the third quarter of 1995.  Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or
27%, for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  This
increase in net interest income, as well as a $399,000, or 37%, increase in
other income, offset a $538,000, or 11%, increase in other expenses, a $400,000,
or 107%, increase in provision for loan loss and a $428,000, or 62%, increase in
taxes.  For the second quarter of 1996, the return on average total equity was
12.92% and the return on average common equity was 14.16% compared to the 12.63%
return on average equity for the second quarter of 1995.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 1996
from $6.2 million for the same period in 1995 as continued growth in the loan
portfolio enabled the Company to post a $2.1 million increase in interest income
that exceeded the $395,000 increase in interest expense during the period.
Yields on the Company's interest-earning assets increased by 2 basis points, and
the rates paid on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities declined by 34
basis points, resulting in an increase in the interest rate spread to 3.63% for
the second quarter of 1996 from 3.27% for the second quarter of 1995.  The ratio
of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 118.39% for the second quarter of 1996 from 115.50% for the second
quarter of 1995.  This percentage increase was, in part, the result of the use
of proceeds from the Company's July 1995 Preferred stock issuance to fund
interest-earning assets.

Total interest income for the second quarter of 1996 was $15.6 million, up 15%
from $13.5 million during the same period in 1995.  The principal factor
providing greater interest income was the $92.3 million, or 20%, increase in the
volume of average loans outstanding.  The Company's loan yields declined to
9.64% for the second quarter of 1996 from 9.70% in 1995.  During the same
period, the Company's yield on 


                                       9

 
investment securities declined to 6.09% from 6.22% as a result of calls of
relatively high-yielding Agency securities.

Total interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $7.8 million, an
increase of 5% from $7.4 million for the same period in 1995.  The increase in
total interest expense can be attributed to an increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities of $66.7 million, or 13%.  During the same period, the rates
paid on average interest-bearing liabilities declined to 5.21%  from 5.55%.

Other Income

Other income increased by $399,000 for the second quarter of 1996 compared to
the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to increased gains on sales of loans
receivable.  The increase in gains on sales of loans receivable reflected higher
sales of student loans and mortgage loans.  Sales of student loans during the
second quarter of 1996 were $4.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the same
period in 1995.  Sales of mortgage loans increased to $18.4 million for the
second quarter of 1996 compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 1995.

Other Expenses

The Company's other expenses increased $538,000 for the second quarter of 1996
compared to the second quarter of 1995.  This increase was primarily the result
of an increase in salaries and employee benefits, which increased $572,000 as a
result of a 15% increase in staffing.  The increase in staffing is related to
the expansion of the Company's asset and deposit bases.  In addition, occupancy
expense increased $109,000 and general and administrative expense increased
$121,000 compared to 1995.  These increases were offset by a $177,000 reduction
in FDIC and other insurance expense.  The increase in occupancy expense was due
primarily to the leasing of additional office space and the depreciation on
furniture and equipment purchased to furnish those new offices.

The reduction in FDIC and other insurance for the three month periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995 was due to a reduction in premiums, beginning July 1, 1995, as
the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), of which the Bank is a member, achieved its
statutory reserve ratio.  If certain legislation currently being considered by
Congress is enacted, the Bank will be required to pay a special assessment to
the FDIC with respect to deposits it acquired from a savings association in
1991.  It is not known whether this legislation will be enacted.


LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds
through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of highly marketable
assets such as residential mortgage loans.  The Company's portfolio of
government-guaranteed student loans and SBA loans are also readily salable.
Additional sources of liquidity, including cash flow from the repayment of
loans, are also considered in determining whether liquidity is satisfactory.
Liquidity is also achieved through growth of core deposits and liquid assets,
and accessibility to the capital and money markets.  These funds are used to
meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, fund loans and operate
the organization.  Core deposits, defined as demand deposits, interest-bearing
transaction accounts, savings deposits and certificates of deposit less than
$100,000 were 84% and 87% of total deposits at June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The Company uses various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management and
liquidity purposes on a limited basis.  These forms of borrowings include
federal funds purchases and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank.  The Bank
has approved federal funds purchase lines with three other banks.  The Bank also
carries interest-bearing demand notes issued by the Bank to the U.S. Treasury as
a participant in the Treasury Tax and Loan note program.  In addition, the Bank
has available a $20.0 million line of credit from the Student Loan Marketing
Association (SLMA).  Borrowings under the SLMA line would be 


                                      10

 
secured by student loans. During the first quarters of 1996 and 1995, no
category of borrowings averaged more than 30% of ending shareholders' equity.

During the first six months of 1996, cash and cash equivalents increased by
$18.5 million.  The increase was the result of cash generated from financing
activities (primarily increased deposits) of $68.1 million offset by $13.8
million in cash used in operating activities and $35.8 million in cash used in
investing activities.

Cash and cash equivalents, during the first six months of 1995, increased by
$27.2 million.  The increase was the result of cash generated from financing
activities (primarily increased deposits) of $93.5 million offset by $14.0
million in cash used in operating activities and $52.3 million in cash used in
investing activities.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in accordance
with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB).  The guidelines are
commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines.

On  June 30, 1996, the Company exceeded all applicable capital requirements,
having a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.17%, a Tier I risk-based capital
ratio of 10.80%, and a leverage ratio of 8.12%.  As of June 30, 1996, the Bank
also met the criteria for classification as a "well-capitalized" institution
under the prompt corrective action rules promulgated under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA).  Designation as a well-
capitalized institution under these regulations does not constitute a
recommendation or endorsement of the Company or the Bank by Federal bank
regulators.

The Company declared a dividend of $.07 per common share payable on July 1, 1996
to shareholders of record as of June 19, 1996.  In July 1996, the Company
declared a dividend of $.575  per preferred share payable on September 3, 1996
to shareholders of record as of August 19, 1996.


EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data
presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and practices within the banking industry which require
the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary
in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of
inflation.
