                             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, and
First State Bank for 2000 and a portion of 1999 (representing the period since
acquisition).  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, 1999, the date of the most recent
annual report.  Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 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)  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.  In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."  This Statement defers the effective date
of FASB Statement No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities -A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125".
This Statement is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for
disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption
of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial
statements.

(3)  RECENT DEVELOPMENTS; MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

     In February 1999, the Company sold a branch in Anadarko, Oklahoma, which
had deposits of approximately $15,500. The sale resulted in a pretax gain of
approximately $900.

     In December 1999, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets and
assumption of certain liabilities of First State Bank of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company organized a new wholly-
owned bank under the First State Bank name.  The new First State Bank acquired
approximately $106,000 of assets, assumed approximately $109,000 of liabilities,
and recorded $2,615 of intangible assets.  The purchase and assumption 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 the operations of the Company for 1999.

     In March 2000, BancFirst Corporation became a financial holding company
under the new Gramm-Leach-Bliley financial services modernization law. This will
allow the Company to expand into new financial activities such as insurance
underwriting, securities underwriting and dealing, and mutual fund distribution.

     In October 2000, BancFirst Corporation completed the acquisition of First
Southwest Corporation of Frederick,

                                       5
<PAGE>

Oklahoma ("First Southwest") which had total assets of approximately $118,000.
All of the outstanding shares of First Southwest common stock were exchanged for
266,681 shares of BancFirst Corporation common stock and approximately $4,335 of
cash. 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. Total intangible assets of
$4,279 were recorded for the purchase. The acquisition is not expected to have a
material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 2000.

(4)  TENDER OFFER

     In June 1999, the Company completed a Dutch auction issuer tender offer and
purchased 1,186,502 shares of its common stock for the maximum offer price of
$38.00 per share.  Cash on hand and two borrowings totaling $7,600 were used to
pay for the purchase of the stock.  The two borrowings under a $12,000 revolving
line of credit were at rates of 6.3% and 6.5%, and matured in July and October
1999.

     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.

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


SUMMARY

   Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $6.96 million,
up from $6.03 million for the third quarter of 1999.  Diluted net income per
share was $0.85, up from $0.73 for the third quarter of 1999, as the combined
result of the higher earnings and a Dutch auction issuer tender offer completed
in June 1999, under which the Company repurchased 1,186,502 shares of its common
stock for $45.1 million.  Net income for the first nine months of 2000 was $19.5
million, up from $18.1 million for the first nine months of 1999.  Diluted net
income per share for the nine months was $2.39 and $2.03 for 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

   Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $2.38 billion, up $40 million from
December 31, 1999 and $180 million from September 30, 1999.  The asset growth
compared to the third quarter of 1999 was due in part to the acquisition of
First State Bank of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in December 1999, which added
approximately $109 million of assets.  Stockholders' equity was $180 million at
September 30, 2000, an increase of $15.5 million compared to December 31, 1999,
and $15.6 million compared to September 30, 1999.

   In March 2000, BancFirst Corporation became a financial holding company under
the new Gramm-Leach-Bliley financial services modernization law.  This will
allow the Company to expand into new financial activities such as insurance
underwriting, securities underwriting and dealing, and mutual fund distribution.

   In October 2000, BancFirst Corporation completed the acquisition of First
Southwest Corporation of Frederick, Oklahoma ("First Southwest") which had total
assets of approximately $118 million.  All of the outstanding shares of First
Southwest common stock were exchanged for 266,681 shares of BancFirst
Corporation common stock and approximately $4.34 million in cash.  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.  Total intangible assets of $4.28 million
were recorded for the purchase.  The acquisition is not expected to have a
material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 2000.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER

   Net interest income increased $2.41 million compared to the third quarter of
1999, primarily as a result of an increase in the net interest margin from 4.66%
to 4.85%.  Average net earning assets increased $31.6 million compared to the
third quarter of 1999, while net interest spread increased to 3.91% from 3.88%
for the third quarter of 1999. The higher net interest spread and net interest
margin are the product of rising interest rates in late 1999 and early 2000,
loan growth, and the Company's ability to control its funding costs in the short
run.  These conditions have resulted in the Company's yield on its earning
assets rising faster than the rate on its interest-bearing liabilities.

   The Company provided $840,000 for loan losses in the third quarter, compared
to $418,000 for the third quarter of 1999.  The higher provisions in 2000 were
due to loan growth and higher classified and nonperforming loans.  Net loan
charge-offs were $1.07 million for the third quarter of 2000, compared to
$509,000 for the second quarter of 1999.  The net charge-offs represent
annualized rates of only 0.27% and 0.15% of total loans for the third quarter of
2000 and 1999, respectively.

   Noninterest income increased $442,000, or 6.08%, compared to the third
quarter of 1999.  Noninterest expense increased $1.55 million, or 7.58%,
compared to the third quarter of 1999, which includes a $400,000 write down on a
building held for sale in the third quarter of 2000.  These increases were also
due in part to the acquisition of First State

                                       9

Bank.

   Income tax expense decreased $50,000 compared to the third quarter of 1999
due to $290,000 of tax benefits recorded in the third quarter of 2000 in
connection with the finalization of the Company's 1999 tax returns.  The
effective tax rate on income before taxes was 33.57%, down from 37.16% in the
third quarter of 1999.

YEAR-TO-DATE

   Net interest income increased $6.20 million compared to the first nine months
of 1999, primarily as a result of an increase in the net interest margin to
4.84% from 4.66%.  Average net earning assets increased $2.73 million, while net
interest spread increased to 3.91% from 3.86%.  The higher net interest spread
and net interest margin are the product of rising interest rates in late 1999
and early 2000, loan growth, and the Company's ability to control its funding
costs in the short run.  These conditions have resulted in the Company's yield
on its earning assets rising faster than the rate on its interest-bearing
liabilities.

   The Company provided $3.31 million for loan losses in the first nine months,
compared to $1.82 million for the same period of 1999.  The higher provisions in
2000 were due to loan growth and higher classified and nonperforming loans.  Net
loan charge-offs were only $1.78 million for the first nine months of 2000,
compared to $1.31 for the first nine months of 1999.  The net charge-offs
represent annualized rates of only 0.15% and 0.13% of total loans for the first
nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

   Noninterest income increased only $455,000 compared to the first nine months
of 1999 due to a gain on the sale of a branch in the first quarter of 1999.
Excluding this gain, noninterest income increased $1.36 million, or 6.51%.
Noninterest expense increased $3.58 million, or 5.89%, compared to the first
nine months of 1999.  These increases were due in part to the acquisition of
First State Bank.

   Income tax expense increased $217,000 compared to the first nine months of
1999.  The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.82%, compared to
37.05% for the same period of 1999.

FINANCIAL POSITION

   Federal funds sold decreased $36 million from December 31, 1999 and $47.3
million from September 30, 1999.  Due to loan growth exceeding deposit growth,
the Company has become a net borrower of federal funds.

   Total securities decreased $31.1 million compared to December 31, 1999 and
increased $171,000 compared to September 30, 1999.  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.  The main factors in the changes in
total securities were changes in funding from deposits and use of funds for loan
growth.  The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $2.80
million at the end of the third quarter of 2000, compared to a loss of $5.14
million at December 31, 1999 and a loss of $1.29 million at September 30, 1999.
The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the third
quarter increased to 6.21% from 6.02% for the same quarter of 1999.

   Total loans increased $111 million from December 31, 1999 and $202 million
from September 30, 1999, due to internal growth and approximately $60 million of
loans acquired from First State Bank.  The allowance for loan losses increased
$1.53 million from year-end 1999 and $3.90 million from the third quarter of
1999.  The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.54%, 1.55% and 1.48%
at September 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and September 30, 1999, respectively.
The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was
228.71%, 183.47% and 169.42%, respectively.

   Nonperforming and restructured assets totaled $13.3 million at September 30,
2000, compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 1999 and $13.2 million at
September 30, 1999.  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 future
economic and credit cycles.

                                       10
<PAGE>

   Total deposits increased $7.18 million compared to December 31, 1999,
although average deposits for the quarter were $92.9 million higher than in the
fourth quarter of 1999.  The increase in average deposits is the result of
internal growth and the acquisition of First State Bank, which added
approximately $109 million in deposits.  Compared to September 30, 1999, total
deposits increased $143 million.  The Company's deposit base continues to be
comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates
of deposit being only 12% of total deposits at September 30, 2000.

   Short-term borrowings increased $15.5 million from December 31, 1999 and
$17.4 million from September 30, 1999.  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 $1.32 million from year-end 1999 and $4.15
million from the third quarter of 1999 due to additional Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings.  The Company uses these borrowings primarily to match-fund long-term
fixed-rate loans.

   Stockholders' equity increased to $180 million from $165 million at both
year-end 1999 and September 30, 1999, primarily as a result of accumulated
earnings.  Average stockholders' equity to average assets for the quarter was
7.45%, compared to 7.31% for the third quarter of 1999.  In June 1999, the
Company repurchased 1,186,502 shares of its common stock, which reduced
stockholders' equity by $45.1 million.  The Company's leverage ratio and total
risk-based capital ratio were 7.88% and 12.71%, respectively, at September 30,
2000, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.

YEAR 2000 EXPOSURE

   Since January 1, 2000, the Company has tested its critical systems and the
tests have not revealed any year 2000 problems.  In addition, the Company's
operations have not experienced any year 2000-related problems.  The Company
will continue to analyze its systems and services that utilize date-embedded
codes that may experience operational problems as various functions are
utilized, or as other potential problem dates arrive throughout the year.  The
Company will continue to communicate with third party vendors of systems
software and equipment, suppliers of telecommunications capacity and equipment,
customers and others with which it does business to coordinate year 2000
compliance.

   The total cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue was not material.  The
Company's core business applications are provided by a data processing company
that devoted substantial resources to assuring that the applications were
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 was not accelerated due the Year 2000
issue.  Also, no significant information technology projects were deferred
because of the Year 2000 issue.
