BANCFIRST CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(1) GENERAL
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
BancFirst Corporation, BFC Capital Trust I, BancFirst and its subsidiaries
BancFirst Investment Corporation, Lenders Collection Corporation and Express
Financial Corporation (formerly National Express Corporation). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in a
fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are
not included in the consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited interim financial statements contained herein reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair
statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for
the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature. There have been no significant changes in the accounting
policies of the Company since December 31, 1998, the date of the most recent
annual report. Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.
As discussed in note (2), the Company completed mergers with Lawton
Security Bancshares, Inc. ("Lawton Security Bancshares") in May 1998, and
AmQuest Financial Corp ("AmQuest") in October 1998. The mergers were accounted
for as a poolings of interests. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
information for periods prior to the mergers has been restated to combine the
consolidated accounts of Lawton Security Bancshares and AmQuest with the
consolidated accounts of the Company for all periods presented.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles inherently involves the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the
related disclosures. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time and
actual amounts may differ from those reported.
(2) MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
In March 1998, BancFirst completed the purchase of 13 branches from
NationsBank, N.A. and concurrently sold three of the branches to another
Oklahoma financial institution. The purchase and sale resulted in BancFirst
purchasing loans and other assets of approximately $32,800, assuming deposits of
approximately $132,100 and paying a premium on deposits of approximately $9,100.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the effects of
the purchase are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
from the date of the purchase forward. BancFirst subsequently sold an
additional four of the branches during 1998. These branches had loans and other
assets of approximately $2,500, and deposits of approximately $54,000. These
transactions did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the
Company for 1998.
In May 1998, the Company completed a merger with Lawton Security
Bancshares, Inc. ("Lawton Security Bancshares"), which had approximately $92,000
in total assets. The merger was effected through the exchange of 414,790 shares
of BancFirst Corporation common stock for all of the Lawton Security Bancshares
common stock outstanding, and was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Accordingly, the consolidated accounts of Lawton Security Bancshares have been
combined with the accounts of the Company and are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
5
In October 1998, the Company completed a merger with AmQuest Financial
Corp. ("AmQuest") of Duncan, Oklahoma, which had approximately $526,000 in total
assets. The merger was effected through the exchange of 2,522,594 shares of
BancFirst Corporation common stock for all of the AmQuest common stock
outstanding, and was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the
consolidated accounts of AmQuest have been combined with the accounts of the
Company and are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for
all periods presented. The Company recorded estimated restructuring charges of
$1,912 upon consummation of the merger in October 1998. These charges consist of
termination benefits of $345 for 37 employees terminated and $1,567 for loss on
facilities and other assets to be sold or abandoned. Other merger and conversion
related expenses estimated at $1,200 were incurred. Additionally, the Company
restated AmQuest's allowance for possible loan losses to conform to its own
methodology; accordingly, the allowance for possible loan losses was increased
by $1,400, which was applied retroactively to prior periods.
In December 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Kingfisher
Bancorp, Inc. which had total assets of approximately $91,000. The acquisition
was for cash of $12,000 and was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the
effects of the acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of the acquisition forward. A core deposit intangible
of $286 and goodwill of $1,871 were recorded in the acquisition. The acquisition
did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for
1998.
In February 1999, the Company sold the previously mentioned Anadarko,
Oklahoma branch, which had deposits of approximately $15,500. The sale resulted
in a pretax gain of approximately $900.
(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those financial
instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a
derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and its
resulting designation. The Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking
Enterprise." This Statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that
after the securitization of Mortgage loans held for sale, an entity engaged in
mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed securities or
other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell or hold those
investments. The Statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning
after December 15, 1998. The Company does not engage in securitization
activities. Consequently, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(7) TENDER OFFER
On May 3, 1999, the Company commenced a Dutch Auction self-tender offer for
a minimum of 100,000 shares, up to 1,000,000 shares, of its common stock,
representing approximately 10.73% of the total shares outstanding. The tender
offer price range is from $34.00 to $38.00 per share. Shareholders may specify
the number of shares and prices within the tender offer price range at which
they are willing to tender their shares. The Company will determine the final
purchase price that will enable it to purchase up to the maximum number of
shares from those shareholders who agreed to sell shares at or below the
purchase price. All shares purchased will be purchased at the final price. If
more than 1,000,000 shares are tendered at or below the purchase price, the
excess will be prorated among those shareholders whose shares are being
purchased. Cash on hand and a borrowing under a newly established $12 million
revolving line of credit will be used by the Company to pay for the purchase of
the stock.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
BANCFIRST CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
The Company reported net income of $6.22 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, compared to net income of $5.60 million for the same quarter of
1998. Diluted net income per share was $0.66 for the first quarter of 1999,
compared to $0.59 per share for the first quarter of 1998.
Total assets were $2.28 billion, a decrease of $56.8 million from December
31, 1998, but an increase $83.4 million from March 31, 1998. The increase in
total assets at year-end 1998 was partly due to the inflow of temporary
deposits. The asset growth compared to the first quarter of 1998 was due
primarily to the acquisition of Kingfisher Bancorp, Inc. ("Kingfisher Bancorp")
in December 1998. Stockholders' equity rose to $204 million, an increase of
$1.62 million compared to December 31, 1998 and $16.8 million compared to March
31, 1998, primarily due to net earnings retained.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest income increased compared to the first quarter of 1998
$864,000, primarily as a result of earning asset growth. Average net earning
assets increased $45.6 million, or 13%, compared to the first quarter of 1998,
while net interest spread was 3.79% for the quarter, compared to 4.10% for the
first quarter of 1998. Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was
4.61% for the first quarter of 1998, compared to 4.89% for the same quarter of
1998. The lower net interest spread and net interest margin are the result of
lower interest rates, a flatter yield curve and competitive pricing pressures on
loans.
The Company provided $937,000 for possible loan losses for the quarter,
compared to $789,000 for the first quarter of 1998, reflecting loan growth and
slightly higher net charge-offs in 1999. Net loan charge-offs were $216,000 for
the first quarter of 1999, compared to $575,000 for the first quarter of 1998.
The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of only 0.06% of total loans
for the first quarter of 1999 and 0.18% of total loans for the first quarter of
1998.
Noninterest income increased $2.09 million, or 36.21%, compared to the
first quarter of 1998 due various factors. The acquisition of Kingfisher Bancorp
added approximately $125,000 in noninterest income. Service charges on deposits
and other income, such as trust fees and income from the origination and sale of
residential mortgages grew because of growth in volumes. In addition, the
Company sold a branch in Anadarko, Oklahoma and recognized a gain of $890,000.
Noninterest expense increased $1.64 million, or 8.93%, due to operating expenses
of acquired branches and internal growth.
Income tax expense increased $540,000 compared to the first quarter of 1998
mainly due to the higher pretax income. The effective tax rate on income before
taxes was 38.1%, up from 37.1% in 1998.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Total securities decreased $31.5 million compared to December 31, 1998 and
$55.5 million compared to March 31, 1998. The size of the Company's securities
portfolio is a function of liquidity management and excess funds available for
investment. The Company has maintained a very liquid securities portfolio to
provide funds for loan growth. At year-end 1998 and at March 31, 1999, the
Company had higher levels of federal funds sold than in the past, reflecting an
increased liquidity position. This, combined with changes in funding from
deposits and use of funds for loan growth, resulted in the decreases in the
securities portfolio. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale
was $3.96 million at the end of the first quarter of 1999, compared to a gain of
$8.25 million at December 31, 1998 and a gain of $3.85 million at March 31,
1998. The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the
first quarter decreased to 6.20% from 6.48% for the same quarter of 1998.
Total loans increased $11.4 million from December 31, 1998 and $44.1
million from March 31, 1998, due to approximately $50 million of loans acquired
with Kingfisher Bancorp. The allowance for possible loan losses increased
9
$721,000 from year-end 1998 and $2,417 million from the first quarter of 1998.
The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.51%, 1.47% and 1.38% at March
31, 1999, December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively. The allowance to
nonperforming and restructured loans ratios at the same dates were 181.08%,
158.69% and 225.72%, respectively.
Nonperforming and restructured assets totaled $12.7 million, compared to
$14 million at year-end 1998 and $9.46 million at March 31, 1998. Although the
ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets is only 0.56%, it
is reasonable to expect nonperforming loans and loan losses to rise over time to
historical norms as a result of economic and credit cycles.
Total deposits decreased $49.6 million as compared to December 31, 1998 and
increased $45.5 million compared to March 31, 1997. The increase compared to
the first quarter of 1998 is the net result of the acquisition of Kingfisher
Bancorp, which added approximately $76 million in deposits, the sale of
approximately $70 million of deposits that were sold with former NationsBank
branches and the Anadarko branch, and internal growth. The Company's deposit
base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large
denomination certificates of deposit being only 11.8% of total deposits at March
31, 1999.
Short-term borrowings decreased $15.2 million from December 31, 1998 and
increased $14.2 million from March 31, 1998. Fluctuations in short-term
borrowings are a function of federal funds purchased from correspondent banks,
customer demand for repurchase agreements and liquidity needs of the bank. The
bank has increased its correspondent banking business over the past year. At
year-end 1998, federal funds purchased from correspondent banks were higher than
at either March 31, 1999 or 1998.
Long-term borrowings increased $4.31 million from year-end 1998 and $7.25
million from the first quarter of 1998 due to additional Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings. The Company uses these borrowings primarily to match-fund longer-
term fixed-rate loans.
Stockholders' equity rose to $204 million from $202 million at year-end
1998 and $187 million at March 31, 1998. These increases are the result of
accumulated earnings and changes in the net unrealized gain on securities
available for sale. Average stockholders' equity to average assets for the
quarter was 9.13%, compared to 8.99% for the same quarter of 1998. The Company's
leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 8.97% and 15.87%,
respectively, at March 31, 1999, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.
On May 3, 1999, the Company commenced a Dutch Auction self-tender offer for
a minimum of 100,000 shares, up to 1,000,000 shares, of its common stock,
representing approximately 10.73% of the total shares outstanding. The tender
offer price range is from $34.00 to $38.00 per share. Shareholders may specify
the number of shares and prices within the tender offer price range at which
they are willing to tender their shares. The Company will determine the final
purchase price that will enable it to purchase up to the maximum number of
shares from those shareholders who agreed to sell shares at or below the
purchase price. All shares purchased will be purchased at the final price. If
more than 1,000,000 shares are tendered at or below the purchase price, the
excess will be prorated among those shareholders whose shares are being
purchased. Cash on hand and a borrowing under a newly established $12 million
revolving line of credit will be used by the Company to pay for the purchase of
the stock.
YEAR 2000 EXPOSURE
Many computer systems and devices using embedded computer chips currently
in operation worldwide use only two digits to specify the year. There is a
significant risk that these systems and devices could produce inaccurate
results, or may not function properly, beginning January 1, 2000 when two-digit
year numbers could be processed as being in the previous century. The Company is
exposed to the risk that not only the systems and devices it uses will
malfunction, but also those of its customers, suppliers and other parties with
whom it conducts business. Such malfunctions could expose the Company to losses
from operational errors and failures, as well as customer claims, lawsuits and
regulatory penalties for noncompliance. While the extent of these possible
losses can not be estimated, such losses could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
During 1997, the Company commenced a Year 2000 Project to conduct a
comprehensive review of its outside data
10
processing services, internal computer systems and other mechanical and
computerized equipment. The purpose of the project is to determine and plan for
necessary changes to assure that its systems and equipment will function
properly in the year 2000. The project also includes communications with other
parties to determine the extent to which the parties are addressing the issue
and the exposure to the Company in the event the parties fail to adequately plan
for and resolve the issue.
The plan developed by the Company consists of the following five phases:
1. Awareness
2. Assessment
3. Renovation
4. Validation
5. Implementation
All five phases of the plan have been completed. Testing of mission
critical applications was completed in March 1999. An evaluation of Year 2000
credit risk has been completed. Contingency plans have been prepared for each
mission critical application.
The total cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue is not estimated to be
material. The Company's core business applications are provided by a data
processing company that has devoted substantial resources to assuring that the
applications sere certified as Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1998. Certain
of the other systems either have been replaced, or were already going to be
replaced with newer technology, and their replacement is not being accelerated
due the Year 2000 issue. Also, no significant information technology projects
are being deferred because of the Year 2000 issue.
FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) with respect to earnings,
credit quality, year 2000 compliance, corporate objectives, interest rates and

forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, including economic conditions, the performance of financial
markets and interest rates; legislative and regulatory actions and reforms;
