NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BancFirst Corporation, Century Life Assurance Company, Council Oak Partners, LLC, Wilcox & Jones, Inc. and BancFirst and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The operating subsidiaries of BancFirst are Council Oak Investment Corporation, Citibank Insurance Agency, Inc., BancFirst Agency, Inc., Lenders Collection Corporation, BancFirst Community Development Corporation, Council Oak Real Estate, Inc. and PremierSource LLC. 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, 2005, the date of the most recent annual report. Certain amounts in the 2005 interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States inherently involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related disclosures. These estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes and the fair values of financial instruments. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time and actual amounts realized may differ from those reported.
Prior to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, management determined that the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flow for 2004 should be restated to reclassify certain disbursements from “Net other increase in loans” in Investing Activities to Operating Activities as such amounts relate to cash disbursements of mortgage loans originated for sale. The consolidated statement of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2005 has been restated to reclassify disbursements of $51.9 million and cash receipts of $53.7 million from “Net other increase in loans” and “Proceeds from sales of loans”, respectively, from Investing Activities to Operating Activities. The restatement does not affect the net change in cash and due from banks for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and has no impact on the Company’s June 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet or the consolidated statements of income and related net income per share amounts or on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity or on the Company’s liquidity for the period ended June 30, 2005.
In January 2006, the Company approved a two-for-one split of shares of common stock to be issued in the form of a stock dividend. As a result of the stock split, the Company’s stockholders received one additional share of the Company’s common stock for each share of common stock held of record on February 16, 2006. The additional shares of our common stock were distributed on March 1, 2006. All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split for all periods presented.
(2) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue 03-01, “Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment,” which addressed other-than-temporary impairment for certain debt and equity investments. The recognition and measurement requirements of Issue 03-01, and other disclosure requirements not already implemented, were effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 03-1-a, which delayed the effective date for certain measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-01. The FSP required the application of pre-existing other-than-temporary guidance during the period of delay until a final consensus was reached. In July 2005, the FASB decided to retain the accounting for certain debt securities and will not make the changes proposed in FSP 03-1-a but will issue a final FSP codifying the existing accounting guidance rather than changing the accounting. In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP 115-1 and 124-1 which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. The FSP also includes accounting
5
considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP amends FASB Statements No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and No. 124 “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations”, and APB Opinion No. 18 “the Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” and was adopted January 1, 2006. The adoption of Issue 03-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This interpretation is expected to increase the relevance and comparability in financial reporting of income taxes because all tax positions accounted for in accordance with Statement 109 will be evaluated for recognition, derecognition and measurement using consistent criteria. Finally, the disclosure provisions of this interpretation will provide more information about the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabitlies. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company is not aware of any uncertainty in its accounting for income taxes and as such, the adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(3) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS; MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
In September 2005, the Company organized a Community Development Entity known as BancFirst Community Development Corporation and funded the entity with $1 million of equity. The entity was organized to make certain investments in low to moderate income communities and to apply for an allocation of New Markets Tax Credits designed to assist in the development of communities in accordance with the guidelines established for Community Development Entities. The Company did not receive an allocation of funds for the 2006 year, however the company intends to apply again for an allocation for 2007.
In December 2005, BancFirst Corporation completed the acquisition of Park State Bank (Park State), Nicoma Park, Oklahoma for cash of approximately $11 million. Park State had total assets of approximately $44 million. As a result of the acquisition, Park State became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation and was merged into BancFirst in February 2006. The acquisition 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. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 2005 or for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
In March 2006, the Company’s principal subsidiary, BancFirst, organized an investment company known as Council Oak Real Estate, Inc. and funded the entity with $4.5 million of equity. The entity was organized to make certain investments in real estate.
In April 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire First Bartlesville Bank, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. First Bartlesville Bank has approximately $47 million in total assets, $35 million in loans, $42 million in deposits, and $3.9 million in equity capital. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The bank will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until it is merged into BancFirst, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company consummated the acquisition on August 3, 2006.

The Company held 86 and 205 debt securities available for sale that had unrealized gains as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These securities had a market value totaling $6.4 million and $267.5 million, respectively, and unrealized gains totaling $200,000 and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company also held 252 and 66 debt securities available for sale that had unrealized losses at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These securities had a market value totaling $360.3 million and $223.4 million and unrealized losses totaling $9.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. These unrealized losses occurred due to increases in interest rates and spreads and not as a result of a decline in credit quality. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold these debt securities until the unrealized losses are recovered.

Total loans
Loans held for sale (included above)
The Company’s loans are mostly to customers within Oklahoma and over half of the loans are secured by real estate. Credit risk on loans is managed through limits on amounts loaned to individual borrowers, underwriting standards and loan monitoring procedures. The amounts and types of collateral obtained to secure loans are based upon the Company’s underwriting standards and management’s credit evaluation. Collateral varies, but may include real estate, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, livestock and securities. The Company’s interest in collateral is secured through filing mortgages and liens, and in some cases, by possession of the collateral. The amount of estimated loss due to credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio is provided for in the allowance for loan losses. The amount of the allowance required to provide for all existing losses in the loan portfolio is an estimate based upon evaluations of loans, appraisals of collateral and other estimates which are subject to rapid change due to changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers. It is reasonably possible that a material change could occur in the estimated allowance for loan losses in the near term.

(8) CAPITAL
The Company is subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and involve both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory practices. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory or discretionary actions by the regulatory agencies that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The required minimums and the Company’s respective ratios are shown below.

To be “well capitalized” under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a depository institution must have a Tier 1 Ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and December 31, 2005, the Company was considered to be “well capitalized”. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification of the Company’s capital category that management believes would change its category.
(9) STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
In November 1999, the Company adopted a new Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”) authorizing management to repurchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The SRP was amended in May 2001 to increase the shares authorized to be purchased by 555,832 shares and was amended again in August 2002 to increase the number of shares authorized to be purchased by 364,530 shares. The SRP may be used as a means to increase earnings per share and return on equity, to purchase treasury stock for the exercise of stock options or for distributions under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan, to provide liquidity for optionees to dispose of stock from exercises of their stock options, and to provide liquidity for shareholders wishing to sell their stock. The timing, price and amount of stock repurchases under the SRP may be determined by management and must be approved by the Company’s Executive Committee. At June 30, 2006 there were 296,052 shares remaining that could be repurchased under the SRP. Below is a summary of the shares repurchased under the program.
Number of shares repurchased
Average price of shares repurchased
(10) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
BancFirst Corporation adopted a nonqualified incentive stock option plan (the “BancFirst ISOP”) in May 1986. In May 2006, the Company amended the BancFirst ISOP to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan by 100,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,500,000. At June 30, 2006, 245,860 shares are available for future grants. The BancFirst ISOP will terminate December 31, 2011. The options are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years. Options granted prior to 1996 expire at the end of eleven years from the date of the grant. Options granted after January 1, 1996 expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 will become exercisable through the year 2013. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.
In June 1999, the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan”). Each non-employee director is granted an option for 10,000 shares. In May 2006, the Company amended the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan by 30,000 shares to an aggregate of 180,000 shares. At June 30, 2006, 35,000 shares are available for future grants. The options are exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 will become exercisable through the year 2009. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123(R)). The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is based on certain assumptions including risk-free rate of return, dividend yield, stock price volatility, and the expected term. The fair value of each option is expensed over its vesting period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded share-based employee compensation expense of approximately $150,000 and $292,000, respectively, net of tax. As a result of the adoption of Statement 123R, our financial results were lower than under our previous accounting method for share-based compensation by the following amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share data):
Income from continuing operations before income taxes
Income from continuing operations
Basic and diluted net earnings per common share
The Company will continue to amortize the remaining fair value of these stock options of approximately $2.1 million, net of tax, over the remaining vesting period of approximately seven years. Share-based employee compensation expense under the fair value method was measured using the following assumptions for the options granted:
Risk-free interest rate
Dividend yield
Stock price volatility
Expected term
13
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options granted. Had compensation expense for the options issues prior to January 1, 2006 been recorded consistent with the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 for those periods, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

(13) SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company evaluates its performance with an internal profitability measurement system that measures the profitability of its business units on a pre-tax basis. The four principal business units are metropolitan banks, community banks, other financial services, and executive, operations and support. Metropolitan and community banks offer traditional banking products such as commercial and retail lending, and a full line of deposit accounts. Metropolitan banks consist of banking locations in the metropolitan Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. Community banks consist of banking locations in communities throughout Oklahoma. Other financial services are specialty product business units including guaranteed small business lending, guaranteed student lending, residential mortgage lending, trust services, securities brokerage, electronic banking and insurance. The executive, operations and support groups represent executive management, operational support and corporate functions that are not allocated to the other business units.
The results of operations and selected financial information for the four business units are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Net interest income (expense)
Noninterest income
Six Months Ended: June 30, 2006
Total Assets:
The financial information for each business unit is presented on the basis used internally by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company utilizes a transfer pricing system to allocate the benefit or cost of funds provided or used by the various business units. Certain revenues related to other financial services are allocated to the banks whose customers receive the services and, therefor, are not reflected in the income for other financial services. Certain services provided by the support group to other business units, such as item processing, are allocated at rates approximating the cost of providing the services. Eliminations are adjustments to consolidate the business units and companies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $12.2 million, compared to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2005. Diluted net income per share was $0.76, compared to $0.70 for the second quarter of 2005. For the first six months of 2006, net income was $23.1 million, compared to $22.1 million for the first six months of 2005. Diluted net income per share for the first six months of 2006 was $1.44 compared to $1.38 for the first six months of 2005.
Total assets at June 30, 2006 increased to $3.4 billion, up $167 million from December 31, 2005 and up $328 million from June 30, 2005. Total loans at June 30, 2006 increased to $2.34 billion, up $22.5 million from December 31, 2005 and up $117.1 million from June 30, 2005. Total deposits at June 30, 2006 were $2.95 billion, up $150.4 million from December 31, 2005 and up $316.6 million from June 30, 2005. Stockholders’ equity was $320 million at June 30, 2006, up $18 million from December 31, 2005 and up $31 million compared to June 30, 2005.
In December 2005, BancFirst Corporation completed the acquisition of Park State Bank (Park State), Nicoma Park, Oklahoma for cash of approximately $11 million. Park State had total assets of approximately $44 million. As a result of the acquisition, Park State became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation and was merged into BancFirst in February 2006. The acquisition 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. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 2006 or 2005.
In January 2006, the Company approved a two-for-one split for shares of common stock to be issued in the form of a stock dividend. As a result of the stock split, the Company’s stockholders received one additional share of the Company’s common stock for each share of common stock held of record on February 16, 2006. The additional shares of our common stock were distributed on March 1, 2006. All share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split for all periods presented.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2006 was $35.8 million, up $2.8 million from the second quarter of 2005. While the net interest spread for the second quarter decreased 37 basis points to 3.86%, the net interest margin only decreased 3 basis points to 4.78% due to the change in mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities during a rising rate environment. The company’s earning assets surpassed $3 billion during the second quarter, an increase of $300 million over June 30 a year ago. Loans grew $117 million from the second quarter of 2005. The growth in loans and earning assets was supported by deposit growth of $317 million from customer relationships. The loan loss provision was $917,000 down $385,000 from the same period a year ago. Nonperforming loans, 0.33% of assets, and net charge-offs, 0.08% of loans, remain at historically low levels. Noninterest income totaled $14.7 million, an increase of $968,000 or 7.0%. The increase is due to growth in revenues from trust services, growth in transaction accounts, and electronic banking services. Noninterest expenses were $30.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 8.4%. The increase in noninterest expense is due primarily to salaries and benefits, marketing and expansion.

The Company provided $917,000 for loan losses in the second quarter of 2006, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2005. The Company’s nonperforming and restructured loans were $8.58 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $11.0 million at June 30, 2005. The percentage coverage of loan loss reserve to total nonperforming and restructured loans increased from 246.67% at June 30, 2005 to 328.88% at June 30, 2006. Net loan charge-offs were $479,000 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $410,000 for the second quarter of 2005. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.08% of average total loans for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005.
Noninterest income of $14.7 million increased $968,000 compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to an increase in cash management and electronic banking services and trust revenues. Noninterest expense increased $2.4 million to $30.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase in noninterest expense is due primarily to salaries and benefits, marketing and expansion. Income tax expense increased $769,000 compared to the second quarter of 2005. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 34.9%, compared to 34.0% for the second quarter of 2005.
Year-To-Date
Net interest income for the first six months of 2006 was $70.4 million, up $5.7 million over the first six months of 2005. While the net interest spread for the six months of 2006 decreased 29 basis points to 3.91%, the net interest margin increased 4 basis points to 4.78% due to the change in mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities during a rising rate environment. The net interest margin remained consistent at 4.78% for the first six months of 2006 compared to 4.76% for the same period of 2005. While average earning assets increased by $218.9 million between the first six months of 2006 and the first six months of 2005, average loans increased by $159.4 million in the same period. The increase in average earning assets was substantially funded by an increase in total average deposits of approximately $225.7 million between the first six months of 2006 and the first six months of 2005. This, combined with the change in mix of average earning assets slowed the growth of the net interest margin while still producing a positive result.
The Company provided $1.6 million for loan losses in the first six months of 2006, compared to $2.1 million for the same period of 2005. The decrease in the provision for loan losses is a result of the company’s high credit quality. The Company’s ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans improved to .37% at June 30, 2006 compared to .50% at June 30 a year ago and .40% at year end 2005. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans and restructured assets increased to 328.88% as of June 30, 2006 from 293.36% as of December 31, 2005 and 246.67% as of June 30, 2005. Net charge-offs were $888,000 for the first six months of 2006 compared to $692,000 for the same period a year ago. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.8% of average total loans for the first six months of 2006 versus 0.06% for the first six months of 2005.
Noninterest income of $28.1 million for the first six months of 2006 increased $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2005 due to an increase in cash management and electronic banking services and trust revenues. Noninterest expense increased $5.7 million to $61.1 million compared to the first six months of 2005. The Company’s efficiency ratio (total noninterest expenses divided by total revenues) improved from 63.08% for the first six months of 2005 to 62.05% for the same period of 2006. Income tax expense increased $1.5 million compared to the first six months of 2005. The effective tax rate on income before taxes increased from 35.5% compared to 33.6% for the first six months of 2005; the increase was principally due to the recognition of tax credits on qualified loans during the 2005 period.
FINANCIAL POSITION
The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold increased $156.5 million from December 31, 2005, and $285.0 million from June 30, 2005. The increases resulted from growth in federal funds sold of $186.4 million since December 31, 2005 and $272.4 million since June 30, 2005.
18
Total securities decreased $21.5 million compared to December 31, 2005 and $88.3 million compared to June 30, 2005. 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 short maturity on its securities portfolio to provide funds for loan growth. The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale, before taxes, was $7.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2006, compared to an unrealized loss of $4.6 million at December 31, 2005 and an unrealized gain of $800,000 at June 30, 2005. The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the second quarter of 2006 increased to 4.58% from 4.29% for the same quarter of 2005.
Total loans increased $22.5 million from December 31, 2005, and increased $117.1 million from June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses increased $710,000 from year-end 2005 and increased $1.1 million from the second quarter of 2005. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.21%, 1.19% and 1.22% at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was 328.88%, 293.36% and 246.67%, respectively.
Nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $8.6 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2005 and $11.0 million at June 30, 2005. The ratio of nonperforming and restructured loans to total loans for the same periods was 0.37%, 0.40% and 0.50%, respectively. The level of nonperforming loans and loan losses may rise over time as a result of economic and credit cycles.
Total deposits increased by $150 million compared to December 31, 2005, and by $317 million compared to June 30, 2005. The Company’s deposit base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit being only 8.74% of total deposits at June 30, 2006, compared to 8.61% at December 31, 2005 and 8.76% at June 30, 2005.
Short-term borrowings decreased $3.3 million from December 31, 2005, and $18.8 million from June 30, 2005. 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.
Long-term borrowings decreased $1.5 million from year-end 2005 and $3.2 million from the second quarter of 2005. The Company uses these borrowings primarily to match-fund, long-term fixed rate loans.
Stockholders’ equity increased $18 million from year-end 2005 and $31 million from the second quarter of 2005, due to accumulated earnings offset by dividends. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets for the second quarter of 2006 was 9.46%, compared to 9.21% for the second quarter of 2005. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 10.13% and 14.08%, respectively, at June 30, 2006, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.
