BANCFIRST CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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, 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, 1996, the date of the most recent
annual report. Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

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 1996, BancFirst acquired City Bankshares, Inc. of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma ("City Bankshares"), which had $136,251 in total assets. The
acquisition was for cash of $19,125, with City Bankshares and its subsidiary
bank, City Bank, being merged into BancFirst. C-Teq, Inc., an 85% owned data
processing subsidiary of City Bankshares, was spun off to the shareholders of
City Bankshares prior to the acquisition. BancFirst also paid the CEO of City
Bancshares $1,250 for an agreement not to compete with BancFirst for a period of
four years. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the
effect of the acquisition is included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of the acquisition forward. A core deposit intangible
of $830 and goodwill of $7,419 were recorded in the acquisition. Pro forma
condensed results of operations, as though City Bankshares had been acquired
January 1, 1995, are as follows:

</TABLE>

In December 1996, the Company's money order subsidiary, Express Financial
Corporation (formerly National Express Corporation), entered into an agreement
for the sale of its business. Under the terms of the agreement, Express
Financial Corporation received cash of $600 in January 1997, and may receive
additional payments of up to $500 over a two-year period based upon specified
levels of business retained by the purchaser. The business and intangible assets
of Express Financial Corporation were transferred to the purchaser in January
and February 1997. The purchaser did not assume any liabilities of Express
Financial Corporation. The sale was accounted for as a disposal of a segment of
business. Consequently, the expected net gain from the disposal will be
recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of income when the final
proceeds are received. The operations of Express Financial Corporation were not
material in relation to the consolidated operations of the Company. The
following assets and liabilities of Express Financial Corporation are included
in the Company's consolidated balance sheet:

In March 1997, the Company acquired 22.5% of the common stock outstanding
of First Ada Bancshares, Inc. of Ada, Oklahoma for cash of $4,954. This
investment will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In September 1997, BancFirst entered into an agreement to purchase 13
branches from NationsBank, N.A. Under the terms of the agreement, BancFirst
would pay a premium of 7.08% of deposits plus book value for certain loans and
fixed assets of the branches. At June 30, 1997, deposits of these branches
totaled approximately $228,000. Concurrently, BancFirst entered into an
agreement to sell three of the branches with approximately $80,000 in deposits
to another Oklahoma financial institution. The purchase and sale are expected
to be completed in March 1998, and are subject to regulatory approval.

(4) 9.65% CAPITAL SECURITIES

In January 1997, BancFirst Corporation established BFC Capital Trust I (the
"Trust"), a trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act. In February
1997, the Trust issued $25,000 of aggregate liquidation amount of 9.65% Capital
Securities, Series A (the "Capital Securities"). The proceeds from the sale of
the Capital Securities were invested in 9.65% Junior Subordinated Deferrable
Interest Debentures, Series A (the "Debentures") of BancFirst Corporation.
Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable January 15 and July 15 of
each year. Such distributions may be deferred for up to ten consecutive semi-
annual periods. The stated maturity date of the Capital Securities is January
15, 2027, but they are subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to optional
prepayment terms. The Capital Securities represent an undivided interest in the
Debentures, are guaranteed by BancFirst Corporation, and will be presented as
long-term debt in the Company's consolidated financial statements. During any
deferral period or during any event of default, BancFirst Corporation may not
declare or pay any dividends on any of its capital stock.

(5) STOCK OPTION REPURCHASE PROGRAM

6
The Company adopted a Stock Option Repurchase Program in August 1997,
whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase stock options that were
currently exercisable under its Stock Option Plan covering up to an aggregate of
209,525shares of the Company's common stock. In October 1997, the Company
repurchased options covering 62,525 shares of common stock. The repurchase price
was at the market price of the common stock less the exercise price of the
options and ranged from $16.38 to $26.88 per share. As a result of the stock
option repurchase, the Company will realize tax benefits in the fourth quarter
of 1997 for the resulting compensation to the employees equivalent to
approximately $0.10 per common share.

BANCFIRST CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



SUMMARY

The Company reported net income of $4.11 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, compared to net income of $3.92 million for the same quarter
of 1996. Earnings per share was $0.62 for the third quarter of 1997, compared to
$0.61 per share for the third quarter of 1996.

Net income for the first nine months of 1997 was $11.5 million, compared to
$11.2 million for the same period of 1996. Earnings per share were $1.75 and
$1.74, respectively.

Total assets increased $100 million from December 31, 1996 and $149 million
from September 30, 1996. The growth since year-end 1996 was due to the Company
issuing $25 million of 9.65% Capital Securities (the "Capital Securities") and
internal growth. The growth since the second quarter of 1996 was due to an
acquisition having total assets aggregating approximately $18 million, the
issuance of the Capital Securities and internal growth. Stockholders' equity
rose to $121 million, an increase of $8.97 million compared to December 31, 1996
and $14.6 million compared to September 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER

Net interest income increased for the third quarter of 1997 by $564,000, or
4.03%, as compared to the same quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of earning
asset growth. Net interest spread was 4.19% for the quarter compared to 4.55%
for the third quarter of 1996, while average net earning assets increased $16.6
million. Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 5.09% for the
third quarter, compared to 5.41% for the same quarter of 1996. Both the net
interest spread and net interest margin were impacted in 1997 by the issuance of
the Capital Securities.

The Company provided $162,000 for possible loan losses for the quarter,
compared to $432,000 for the third quarter of 1996. Net loan charge-offs were
$113,000 for the third quarter of 1997, compared to $269,000 for the third
quarter of 1996. The net charge-offs in 1997 represent an annualized rate of
only 0.06% of total loans, compared to a rate of 0.15% for the same quarter of
1996.

Noninterest income increased $252,000, or 6.7%, compared to the third
quarter of 1996 due to higher service charges on deposits. Noninterest expense
increased $1.09 million, or 9.78%, due largely to increased staffing and other
costs of expanding the Company's management and operational infrastructure.

Income tax expense decreased $194,000 compared to the first nine months of
1996. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 34%, down from 37% in
1996 due to tax benefits from compensation deductions resulting from stock
option exercises in the third quarter of 1997.

YEAR-TO-DATE

For the first nine months of 1997, net interest income increased $3.09
million, or 7.82%, as compared to the same period of 1996, primarily as a result
of earning asset growth. Net interest spread was 4.24% for 1997, compared to
4.51% for 1996, while average net earning assets increased $9.49 million. Net
interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 5.12% for 1997, compared to
5.33% for the first nine months of 1996.

The Company provided $444,000 for possible loan losses in the first nine
months of 1997, compared to $849,000 for the first nine months of 1996. Net
loan charge-offs were $387,000 for 1997, compared to $336,000 for 1996,
representing annualized rates of only 0.07% and 0.06% of total loans,
respectively.

Noninterest income increased $516,000, or 4.63% compared to the first nine
months of 1996 due to service charges on deposits of banks acquired in 1996.
Noninterest expense increased $3.94 million, or 12.4%, due to added operating
expenses of banks acquired and increased staffing and other costs of expanding
the company's management and operational

8
infrastructure.

Income tax expense decreased $222,000 compared to the first nine months of
1996. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 36%, down from 38% in
1996 due to tax benefits from compensation deductions resulting from stock
option exercises during 1997.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Total securities increased $13.7 million compared to December 31, 1996 and
$15.6 million compared to September 30, 1996, as a net result of securities
added by acquisitions and internal growth, and maturities of securities used to
fund loan growth. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale was
$1.87 million at the end of the third quarter of 1997, compared to a gain of
$1.16 million at December 31 and a loss of $204,000 at September 30, 1996. The
average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the third
quarter increased to 6.4% from 6.35% for the same quarter of 1996.

Total loans increased $55.6 million from December 31, 1996 and $81.8
million from September 30, 1996, due primarily to internal growth. The allowance
for possible loan losses was even with the third quarter of 1996 at $12 million.
The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.48%, 1.56% and 1.63% at
September 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The
allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans ratios at the same dates were
211.19%, 207.31% and 189.31%, respectively.

Nonperforming and restructured assets totaled $7.1 million, compared to
$7.01 million at year-end 1996 and $7.72 million at September 30, 1996. Although
the ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets is only
0.53%, it is reasonable to expect nonperforming loans and loan losses to rise
over several years to historical norms as a result of economic and credit
cycles.

Total deposits increased $66.9 million as compared to December 31, 1996 and
$113 million compared to September 30, 1996. The increase reflects an
acquisition in October 1996 and internal growth. The Company's deposit base
continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large
denomination certificates of deposit being only 12.1% of total deposits at
September 30, 1997.

Short-term borrowings decreased $2 million from December 31, 1996 and $9.26
million from September 30, 1996. Fluctuations in short-term borrowings are a
function of liquidity needs and customer demand for repurchase agreements.

Long-term borrowings increased $458,000 from year-end 1996, and $5.65
million from the third quarter of 1996 due primarily to a $5 million Federal
Home Loan Bank borrowing in December 1996 and smaller additional borrowings
during 1997.

In January 1997, BancFirst Corporation established BFC Capital Trust I (the
"Trust"), which issued $25 million of 9.65% Capital Securities (the "Capital
Securities") in February 1997. The purpose of the issuance of the Capital
Securities was to raise additional regulatory capital to support future growth.
Distributions on the Capital Securities are payable January 15 and July 15
through the stated maturity date of January 15, 2027. Such distributions may be
deferred for up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods.During any deferral
period, or during any event of default, BancFirst Corporation may not declare or
pay any dividends on any of its capital stock.

Stockholders' equity rose to $121 million from $112 million at year-end
1996 and $106 million at Sept 30, 1996. These increases were primarily the
result of accumulated earnings. Average stockholders' equity to average assets
for the quarter was 9.2%, compared to 8.87% for 1996. The Company's regulatory
capital ratios increased substantially in the first quarter of 1997 due to the
issuance of the Capital Securities, and are well in excess of the regulatory
minimums.
