                             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 and its subsidiaries
BancFirst Investment Corporation, Lenders Collection Corporation and Express
Financial Corporation (formerly National Express Corporation), and The Security
Bank & Trust Company.  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, 1997, the date of the most recent
annual report.  Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.

     As discussed in note (2), the Company completed a merger with Lawton
Security Bancshares, Inc. ("Lawton Security Bancshares") in May 1998. The merger
was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the consolidated
financial information has been restated to combine the consolidated accounts of
Lawton Security Bancshares 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

(2)  MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

     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.  In March
1998, the first additional payment from the sale of $243 was received.  The
final payment is due in January 1999.  The following assets and liabilities of
Express Financial Corporation are included in the Company's consolidated balance
sheet:

   In March 1998, BancFirst completed the purchase 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.  In April 1998, BancFirst entered into
agreements to sell four additional branches to other Oklahoma financial
institutions on substantially the same terms as BancFirst's purchase of the
branches from NationsBank, N.A.  These branches have loans and other assets of
approximately $11,000 and deposits of approximately $59,100.  The sale of one of
the branches was completed in June.  The sales of the other three branches are
expected to be completed in July and August of 1998.

   In May 1998, the Company completed a merger with 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, for periods reported
subsequent to the completion of the merger, 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.

   In May 1998, the Company entered into a merger agreement with AmQuest
Financial Corp. ("AmQuest") of Duncan, Oklahoma.  The merger is expected to be
completed in October 1998 and would be effected through the exchange of a
maximum of 2,625,000 shares of BancFirst Corporation common stock for all of the
AmQuest common stock outstanding, with AmQuest being merged into the Company.
AmQuest has approximately $568,000 in total assets and operates two subsidiary
banks, AmQuest Bank, N.A. and Exchange National Bank & Trust Company.  The
merger is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and will be accounted
for as a pooling of interests.   Accordingly, for periods reported subsequent to
the completion of the merger, the consolidated accounts of AmQuest will be
combined with the accounts of the Company and will be included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
 
   In July 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Kingfisher
Bancorp, Inc. which has total assets of approximately $91,000.  The acquisition
is for cash and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1998.  The
transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.  Accordingly, the effects of
the purchase will be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
from the date of the purchase forward.  The acquisition is not expected to have
a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 1998.

(4)  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" effective January 1, 1998.  This Statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-
purpose financial statements.  The only component of comprehensive income
reported by the Company is the unrealized gain or loss on securities available
for sale.  The amount of this unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, has been
presented in the statement of income for each period as a component of other
comprehensive income.  Below is a summary of the tax effects of this unrealized
gain or loss.

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


SUMMARY

   The Company reported net income of $4.16 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998, compared to net income of $3.9 million for the same quarter of 1997.
Diluted net income per share was $0.60 for the second quarter of 1998, compared
to $0.56 per share for the second quarter of 1997.

   Net income for the first six months of 1998 was $8.4 million, compared to
$7.77 million for the same period of 1997.  Diluted net income per share was
$1.20 and $1.13, respectively.

   Total assets were $1.62 billion, an increase of $179 million from December
31, 1997 and $226 million from June 30, 1997.  The growth since year-end 1997
and the second quarter of 1997 was due to the acquisition of ten branches from
NationsBank, N.A. and internal growth.  Stockholders' equity rose to $138
million, an increase of $7.04 million compared to December 31, 1997 and $13.4
million compared to June 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER

   Net interest income increased for the second quarter of 1998 by $2.03
million, or 13.4%, as compared to the same quarter of 1997, primarily as a
result of earning asset growth.  Average net earning assets increased $98.4
million, or 42.8%, compared to the second quarter of 1997, while net interest
spread was 3.66% for the quarter, compared to 4.21% for the second quarter of
1997.  Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 4.71% for the
second quarter of 1998, compared to 5.07% for the same quarter of 1997.

   The Company provided $482,000 for possible loan losses for the quarter,
compared to $186,000 for the second quarter of 1997, reflecting slightly higher
net charge-offs and loan growth in 1998.  Net loan charge-offs were $184,000 for
the second quarter of 1998, compared to $159,000 for the second quarter of 1997.
The net charge-offs in both periods represent an annualized rate of only 0.08%
of total loans.

   Noninterest income increased $947,000, or 23.6%, compared to the second
quarter of 1997 due to higher service charges on deposits and other income, such
as trust fees and income from the origination and sale of residential mortgages.
Noninterest expense increased $1.97 million, or 15.5%, due partly to branch
acquisitions, but also as a result of increased staffing and other costs of
expanding the Company's management and operational infrastructure.

   Income tax expense increased $458,000 compared to the second quarter of 1997.
The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 40%, up from 37% in 1997, due
partially to certain minor adjustments to deferred taxes for 1998 and the
absence of tax benefits recognized in 1997 from the exercise of stock options.

YEAR-TO-DATE

   Net interest income for the first six months of 1998 increased by $3.63
million, or 12.1%, as compared to the same period of 1997, primarily as a result
of earning asset growth.  Average net earning assets increased $61.5 million, or
26.6%, compared to the first half of 1997, while net interest spread was 3.93%
for the year to date, compared to 4.23% for the first six months of 1997.  Net
interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis was 4.88% for the first half of
1998, compared to 5.10% for the same period of 1997.

   The Company provided $1.06 million for possible loan losses for the year to
date, compared to $282,000 for the first six months of 1997, reflecting higher
net charge-offs and loan growth in 1998.  Net loan charge-offs were $637,000 for
1998, compared to $274,000 for the first half of 1997.  The net charge-offs in
1998 represent an annualized rate of only

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
0.13% of total loans, compared to 0.07% for 1997.

   Noninterest income increased $1.5 million, or 18.7%, compared to the first
six months of 1997 due to higher service charges on deposits and other income,
such as trust fees and income from the origination and sale of residential
mortgages.  Noninterest expense increased $3.32 million, or 13.3%, due partly to
branch acquisitions, but also as a result of increased staffing and other costs
of expanding the Company's management and operational infrastructure.

   Income tax expense increased $576,000 for the first half of 1998 compared to
the same period in 1997.  The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 39%,
up from 37% in 1997, due partially to the absence of tax benefits recognized in
1997 from the exercise of stock options.

FINANCIAL POSITION

   Total securities increased $83.5 million compared to December 31, 1997 and
$89.3 million compared to June 30, 1997, primarily due to cash received for the
assumption of net liabilities for the branches acquired from NationsBank, N.A.
The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale was $2.36 million at
the end of the second quarter of 1998, compared to a gain of $2.43 million at
December 31 and a gain of $915,000 at June 30, 1997.  The average taxable
equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the second quarter decreased to
6.15% from 6.36% for the same quarter of 1997.

   Total loans increased $76.5 million from December 31, 1997 and $143 million
from June 30, 1997, due to $30 million of loans acquired with the NationsBank
branches and internal growth.   The allowance for possible loan losses increased
$714,000 from year-end 1997 and $1.32 million from the second quarter of 1997.
The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.38%, 1.42% and 1.46% at June
30, 1998, December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively.  The allowance to
nonperforming and restructured loans ratios at the same dates were 263.56%,
258.29% and 225.78%, respectively.

   Nonperforming and restructured assets totaled $6.26 million, compared to
$6.53 million at year-end 1997 and $7.28 million at June 30, 1997.  Although the
ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets is only 0.39%, 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 increased $156 million as compared to December 31, 1997 and
$191 million compared to June 30, 1997. The increases reflect the acquisition of
the NationsBank branches, which added approximately $132 million in deposits,
and internal growth.  The Company's deposit base continues to be comprised
substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit
being only 12.2% of total deposits at June 30, 1998.

   Short-term borrowings increased $14.1 million from December 31, 1997 and
$18.7 million from June 30, 1997 as a result of an increase in the Company's
correspondent banking business. 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 increased $634,000 from year-end 1997 and $1.12 million
from the second quarter of 1997 due to additional Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings.

   Stockholders' equity rose to $138 million from $131 million at year-end 1997
and $125 million at June 30, 1997. These increases were primarily the result of
accumulated earnings.  In April 1998, the Company terminated its Stock
Repurchase Program.  No repurchases were made under the program during 1998.
Average stockholders' equity to average assets for the quarter was 8.3%,
compared to 8.9% for the same quarter of 1997.  The Company's leverage ratio and
total risk-based capital ratio were 8.79% and 15.3%, respectively, at June 30,
1998, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

     In May 1998, the Company entered into a merger agreement with AmQuest
Financial Corp. ("AmQuest") of Duncan, Oklahoma.  The merger is expected to be
completed in October 1998 and would be effected through the exchange of a
maximum of 2,625,000 shares of BancFirst Corporation common stock for all of the
AmQuest common stock outstanding. The authorized common stock of the Company
would be increased and the shares for the exchange would be issued from the
authorized and unissued shares of the Company. AmQuest would be merged into
BancFirst Corporation, which would be the surviving company.  A Form S-4
Registration Statement has been filed to register the transaction.  The terms of
the merger were negotiated through AmQuest's financial advisor and with
AmQuest's senior management and principal stockholders.  During the
negotiations, the Company's management considered a number of factors relating
to AmQuest, including its historical and projected earnings, its asset quality,
fair values of certain of its assets, its level of capital, and potential
efficiencies that might be achieved after the merger.  AmQuest has approximately
$568,000 in total assets and operates two subsidiary banks, AmQuest Bank, N.A.
and Exchange National Bank & Trust Company.  These AmQuest subsidiaries would
become wholly-owned subsidiaries of BancFirst Corporation.  The merger is
subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.
