MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

HIGHLIGHTS

BOK Financial Corporation ("BOK Financial") recorded net income of $16.4 million
or $0.67 per fully  diluted  common share for the third quarter of 1997 compared
to $13.0 million or $0.54 per fully  diluted  common share for the third quarter
of  1996.   Returns  on  average  assets  and  equity  were  1.25%  and  16.16%,
respectively,  for the third  quarter of 1997.  This is  compared  to returns on
average assets and equity of 1.20% and 15.99%, respectively, for the same period
of 1996.

Year to date net income and earnings per fully  diluted  common share were $47.8
million or $1.95,  respectively,  for 1997  compared to $39.6  million or $1.64,
respectively,  for the same period of 1996. Returns on average assets and equity
were 1.27% and  16.75%,  respectively,  for 1997  compared to returns on average
assets and equity of 1.24% and 16.77%, respectively, for 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest revenue on a  tax-equivalent  basis was $42.1 million for the third
quarter of 1997  compared  to $34.1  million for the third  quarter of 1996,  an
increase of $8.0  million or 23.3%.  Average  earning  assets  increased by $765
million,  including $344 million from the acquisitions of First National Bank of
Park Cities  ("Park  Cities") and First Texas Bank ("First  Texas") in the first
quarter of 1997,  while average  interest  bearing  liabilities  increased  $654
million,  including $220 million from acquisitions.  Demand deposit accounts and
equity  funded  the  growth in  earning  assets in  excess of  interest  bearing
liabilities.  This improvement in the volume of total earning assets as compared
to interest bearing liabilities  contributed $6.5 million to the increase in net
interest  revenue.  The effect of an increase in the yield on earning  assets in
excess of an increase in the cost of interest  bearing  liabilities  contributed
$1.4 million .

</TABLE>


Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest revenue to average earning assets
was 3.63% for the third quarter of 1997.  This is compared to 3.54% for the same
quarter  of 1996 and 3.68% for the  second  quarter  of 1997.  Yields on average
earning assets for the third quarter of 1997 were 7.85%,  an increase of 6 basis
points over the third  quarter of 1996.  The  increase is due  primarily  to the
repricing of variable rate loans in response to a 25 basis point increase in the
national  prime  rate late in the first  quarter  of 1997,  partially  offset by
decreased interest rates due to competitive pricing pressure.  At the same time,
the cost of  interest  bearing  liabilities  for the third  quarter  of 1997 was
4.91%, a decrease of 3 basis points from the third quarter of 1996 and unchanged
from the second  quarter of 1997.  BOK  Financial has been working to reduce its
overall  cost of funds by lowering the rates paid on certain  deposit  accounts.
These  efforts have been  successful as shown by the reduction in the rates paid
on deposits  and by the limited  increase in the total cost of interest  bearing
liabilities.  However,  this strategy has limited the growth in deposits and has
required BOK Financial to increase borrowings to fund asset growth.

Since its  inception,  BOK  Financial  has followed a strategy of utilizing  its
capital  resources  by  borrowing  funds in the  capital  markets to  supplement
deposit growth and invest in securities.  This strategy  frequently results in a
net interest  margin  which falls below those  normally  seen in the  commercial
banking industry even though it provides positive net interest revenue.  As more
fully  discussed in the  subsequent  Interest  Rate  Sensitivity  and  Liquidity
section,  management employs various  techniques to control,  within established
parameters,  the  interest  rate and  liquidity  risk  which  results  from this
strategy.

Year to date tax equivalent  net interest  revenue was $121.1  million,  a $19.9
million or 19.7%  increase over the first nine months of 1996.  Average  earning
assets  increased  $669  million  while  average  interest  bearing  liabilities
increased $569 million.  While the yield on earning assets  increased by 3 basis
points to 7.84%, the cost of interest bearing  liabilities  decreased by 4 basis
points to 4.89% due to the previously  discussed  deposit  pricing  policy.  The
result is an increase in the year to date net  interest  margin to 3.63% in 1997
from 3.57% in 1996.

Other  operating  revenue  increased  $7.1 million or 26.0% compared to the same
quarter  of 1996.  Excluding  the  effect of  securities  gains and  losses  and
acquisitions, other operating revenue increased $5.6 million or 20.5%. TransFund
revenue  increased  $798  thousand  or  35.7%  due  to an  increased  number  of
transactions  and  repricing  of  services.  Service  charges and  deposit  fees
increased  $762  thousand or 12.6%,  excluding the effect of  acquisitions,  due
primarily  to an  increased  number of  transactions  processed  for  commercial
accounts.  Trust fees and commissions  increased $1.1 million or 20.5% due to an
increase in assets  managed.  As of September 30, 1997, BOK Trust, a division of
BOk, was  responsible  for $10.7  billion in assets.  Mortgage  banking  revenue
increased $1.3 million or 18.5% due to a $1.0 million increase in loan servicing
revenue  along  with  a  $267  thousand   improvement  in  secondary   marketing
activities.  Loans  serviced by BOK  Mortgage,  a division of BOk,  totaled $6.6
billion at  September  30,  1997.  Leasing  revenue,  which is reported in other
revenue,  increased  to $1.6 million in the second  quarter of 1997  compared to
$528 thousand in 1996.

Year to  date,  other  operating  revenue  increased  $18.4  million  or  23.7%.
Excluding  the effect of  securities  gains and losses and  acquisitions,  other
operating  revenue  increased  $13.9 million or 17.4%.  The same  volume-related
factors which caused the second quarter's  increase also contributed to the year
to date increases.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 1997 increased $6.4 million or 15.9%
compared to the third quarter of 1996. Excluding the effects of acquisitions and
significant  or  non-recurring  items as shown  in Table 4,  operating  expenses
increased $5.3 million or 13.5%.  Personnel  costs  increased $4.7 million ($3.0
million or 17.0%  excluding  acquisitions)  due to  increased  staffing,  normal
compensation  increases,  and increased  incentive  compensation.  Staffing on a
full-time  equivalent  ("FTE")  basis  increased by 143  employees or 7.1% while
average  compensation  per FTE  increased  by 6.3%.  These  changes  reflect the
addition of several  senior-level  positions in both the lending and  operations
areas as well as additional support staff. Incentive compensation expense, which
varies directly with changes in revenue, increased $622 thousand to $1.9 million
for the quarter.  Mortgage banking expenses  increased $1.1 million or 27.2% due
to increased  amortization  of  capitalized  servicing  rights.  Net  occupancy,
equipment  and  data  processing  expenses  increased  $262  thousand  or  3.4%,
excluding acquisitions.  This increase included a $554 thousand increase in data
processing  costs due primarily to the higher volume of  transactions  processed
partially offset by a $731 thousand increase in rental income at BOK Financial's
main  offices  in  Oklahoma  City.  Additionally,  business  promotion  expenses
increased  $449  thousand  or 27.8% as BOK  Financial  continued  its efforts to
capitalize on disruptions in banking  relationships due to mergers involving its
two largest competitors in Oklahoma.  The increase in other expenses includes an
additional  $673  thousand  of  depreciation  expense  on  equipment  leased  to
customers.

The growth in operating expenses exceeded the growth in tax-equivalent  interest
revenue and other  operating  revenue.  The resulting  efficiency  ratio for the
third quarter of 1997 was 64.0%  compared to 63.9% for the third quarter of 1996
and 62.4% for the second quarter of 1997.  The increase in the efficiency  ratio
for the third  quarter of 1997  primarily  reflects the initial  costs of adding
several  business  development  officers  and an increase in mortgage  servicing
rights amortization expense.

Year to date, operating expenses increased $13.2 million or 10.9%. Excluding the
effects of  acquisitions  and  significant  or  non-recurring  items,  operating
expenses  increased  $10.4  million  or  8.9%  due to  the  same  factors  which
contributed to the quarterly increases.

BOK Financial  recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million in the third
quarter of 1997  compared  to $62  thousand  in the third  quarter of 1996.  The
factors  considered by management in  determining  the provision for loan losses
are discussed subsequently under "Risk Element."

BOK  Financial  recorded  income tax expense of $7.9  million or 32.4% of income
before  taxes for the third  quarter of 1997  compared  to income tax expense of
$5.8 million or 31.0% for the third quarter of 1996.

RISK ELEMENT

The aggregate  loan  portfolio at September 30, 1997  increased  $375 million to
$2.8 billion since December 31, 1996. This included increases of $79 million and
$59 million, respectively,  from the acquisitions of First National Bank of Park
Cities  and First  Texas  Bank in the first  quarter.  Loans  increased  by $141
million during the third quarter of 1997. The increases during the third quarter
include all major loan groups with commercial  loans up $70 million,  commercial
real estate loans up $45 million,  residential  mortgage loans up $7 million and
consumer  loans up $18  million.  These  increases  are the result of  continued
growth  in  the  Oklahoma  economy  and  new  loan  business  attributed  to the
acquisition of BOK  Financial's two largest  competitors by out-of-state  banks.
The growth of the loan  portfolio and  strategies  employed by BOK Financial has
added additional risk as discussed below.

</TABLE>


Although the  acquisitions of Park Cities and First Texas enhance the geographic
diversity of the loan  portfolio,  a substantial  portion of the  commercial and
consumer loans continues to be concentrated in Oklahoma and Northwest  Arkansas.
This  concentration  subjects the portfolio to the general  economic  conditions
within BOK  Financial's  primary  market area.  Major segments of the commercial
loan  portfolio  are  presented  in Table 5.  Commercial  real estate  loans are
secured  primarily  by  properties   located  in  the  Tulsa  or  Oklahoma  City
metropolitan  areas.  During the second quarter of 1997, BOK Financial  opened a
loan production office in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This office, which will focus
primarily on residential  construction  lending, is expected to add diversity to
the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming  assets  totaled  $48.9  million at September 30, 1997 compared to
$47.2  million at June 30, 1997 and $42.2  million at  December  31,  1996.  The
increase  in the  third  quarter  of 1997 was due  primarily  to a $2.6  million
increase in loans past due over 90 days which are still accruing.

BOK Financial  monitors loan  performance  on a portfolio  and  individual  loan
basis.  Nonperforming  loans,  which include all loans classified as doubtful or
loss, are reviewed at least quarterly, and more frequently in the case of larger
credits.  The loan review process involves  evaluating the credit  worthiness of
customers  and their  ability,  based  upon  current  and  anticipated  economic
conditions,  to meet  future  principal  and  interest  payments.  Loans  may be
identified   which   possess  more  than  the  normal  amount  of  risk  due  to
deterioration  in the  financial  condition  of the borrower or the value of the
collateral. Because the borrowers are performing in accordance with the original
terms  of  the  loan  agreements  and  no  loss  of  principal  or  interest  is
anticipated,  such loans are not included in the  nonperforming  assets  totals.
These  loans  are  assigned  to  various  risk  categories  in  order  to  focus
management's  attention on the loans with higher risk of loss.  At September 30,
1997,  loans totaling $106 million were assigned to the special mention category
and loans totaling $64 million were assigned to the  substandard  risk category.
These are  compared to special  mention  loans of $106  million and  substandard
loans of $62  million  at June 30,  1997,  and to special  mention  loans of $62
million and substandard loans of $40 million at December 31, 1996.

million at June 30, 1997 and $45 million at December  31, 1996 or 1.96% of total
loans, excluding loans held for sale. Losses on loans held for sale, principally
fixed-rate  residential  mortgage loans accumulated for placement in securitized
pools,  are charged to earnings  through  adjustments  in carrying  value to the
lower of cost or market value in accordance with accounting standards applicable

The adequacy of the allowance  for loan losses is assessed by  management  based
upon an evaluation  of the current risk  characteristics  of the loan  portfolio
including current and anticipated  economic conditions,  historical  experience,
collateral  valuation,  changes in the  composition  of the  portfolio and other
relevant  factors.  A provision for loan losses is charged  against  earnings in
amounts necessary to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The
provision  for loan losses  totaled $3.0  million for the third  quarter of 1997
compared to $1.5 million for the  preceding  quarter and to $62 thousand for the
third  quarter of 1996.  The trend  toward  larger  provisions  for loan  losses
reflects the growth in the loan portfolio,  BOK  Financial's  expansion into new
markets and increases in the levels of criticized  assets.  Management  believes
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate for each period  presented  based
upon the evaluation criteria and information  available at that time. Management
anticipates  that the provision may increase in future periods due to the recent
growth in new commercial relationships, which is expected to continue into 1998.

At  September  30,  1997 other  assets  included  $24.6  million of natural  gas
compression and other  equipment  which is being leased to various  customers by
entities  in which a  subsidiary  of BOK  Financial  is a general  partner.  The
maintains legal and economic  ownershipof the leased  equipment.  Lease payments
are recorded as income when earned.  The  equipment  is being  depreciated  over
estimated  useful  lives.  The lease terms are  generally  much shorter than the
estimated  useful lives of the related  equipment.  As each lease  expires,  the
remaining net book value of the equipment is evaluated for impairment based upon
current market values, re-leasing opportunities and other relevant factors.

BOK  Financial's   asset  /  liability   management   policy  addresses  several
complementary  goals:  assuring adequate  liquidity,  maintaining an appropriate
balance between interest  sensitive  assets and liabilities,  and maximizing net
interest revenue.  The  responsibility  for attaining these goals rests with the
Asset / Liability  Committee which operates under policy  guidelines  which have
been established by the Board of Directors.  These guidelines limit the negative
acceptable variation in net interest revenue and economic value of equity due to
a 200 basis point rate  increase or  decrease  to + / - 10%,  establish  maximum
levels for short-term assets and funding, and public and brokered deposits,  and
establish  minimum levels for unpledged assets,  among other things.  Compliance
with these guidelines is reviewed monthly.  At September 30, 1997, BOK Financial
is within  all  guidelines  established  under  these  policies.  Management  is
reviewing  various  strategies  to  fund  continued  loan  growth  within  these
guidelines,  including a reduction  of the  securities  portfolio,  increases in
non-public deposits, and issuance of various forms of bank securities.

BOk issued $150 million of 10-year  subordinated notes,  discounted to a cost of
7.2%, during the third quarter of 1997. These notes are unsecured obligations of
BOk and are not insured by the FDIC or any other  government  agency and are not
guaranteed by BOK Financial. Standard & Poors Rating Service has rated the notes
as BBB; Moody's Investor Service,  Baa3; and Thomson Bank Watch, A-. At the same
time,  $50 million was paid as dividends to BOK  Financial,  ultimately  used to
repay existing debt,  including a $20 million  subordinated  debenture due to an
affiliate  of George B.  Kaiser,  BOK  Financial's  principal  shareholder.  The
remaining  proceeds were retained by BOk to fund future growth. BOk entered into
interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $100 million to change the cost of
these notes from fixed to variable.  BOk receives a fixed weighted  average rate
of 6.77% on  these  swaps  and pays  the one  month  LIBOR.  As a result  of the
issuance of subordinated  debt BOK Financial's  Total Capital Ratio increased to
14.08% at September 30, 1997, as compared to 10.75% at June 30, 1997, due to the
inclusion of  subordinated  debt in total capital in accordance  with regulatory
guidelines.  As shown in Table 9, BOK  Financial's  capital  ratios  exceed  the
regulatory definition of well capitalized.

Interest rate  sensitivity,  the risk associated with changes in interest rates,
is of primary importance within the banking industry. Management has established
strategies and procedures to protect net interest  revenue  against  significant
changes in interest rates.  Generally,  these strategies are designed to achieve
an acceptable level of net interest revenue based upon management's  projections
of future changes in interest rates.

Management  simulates the potential  effect of changes in interest rates through
computer  modeling  which  incorporates  both the current gap  position  and the
expected magnitude of the repricing of specific types of assets and liabilities.
This modeling is performed assuming expected interest rates over the next twelve
months based on both a "most  likely" rate scenario and on two "shock test" rate
scenarios, the first assuming a 200 basis point increase and the second assuming
a 200 basis point decrease over the next twelve months. An independent source is
used to determine the most likely interest rates for the next year.

The estimated impact of changes in interest rates on net interest revenue is not
projected  to  be  significant  within  the  + / -  200  basis  point  range  of
assumptions.  However,  this modeling  indicates  that under the 200 basis point
decrease  scenario the after-tax value of BOK Financial's  capitalized  mortgage
servicing  rights,  net of mortgage loan refinancing  income,  would decrease by
approximately  $21.7  million.  While this  decrease in value  would  largely be
offset  by an  increase  in the  value  of  the  securities  portfolio,  current
accounting  principles  require that the net  decreased  value of mortgage  loan
servicing  rights  would be charged to  earnings  while the  increased  value of
available for sale securities  would be credited to  shareholders'  equity.  The
result is an  estimated  decrease  in net income of 30.0%.  Additionally,  a 200
basis point  increase in interest  rates would  decrease the  economic  value of
equity  by 6.6%  due  primarily  to the  decrease  in  value  of the  securities
portfolio.  This decrease is compared against the applicable policy which limits
the  negative  impact  of a 200 basis  point  change  in  interest  rates on the
economic  value of  equity  to 10%.  These  simulations  are  based on  numerous
assumptions regarding the timing and extent of repricing characteristics. Actual
results in such situations would differ significantly.

BOK Financial uses interest rate swaps, a form of off-balance  sheet  derivative
product, in managing its interest rate sensitivity. These swaps are used to more
closely match the interest paid on certain  long-term,  fixed rate  obligations,
including  certificates of deposit and  subordinated  debt, with earning assets.
Generally,  BOK Financial accrues and periodically  receives a fixed amount from
the counter parties to these swaps and accrues and periodically makes a variable
payment to the  counter-parties.  During the third quarter of 1997,  income from
these swaps  exceeded  costs of the swaps by $252  thousand and at September 30,
1997, the net market value  appreciation  of all swaps was $2.5 million.  Credit
risk  from  these  swaps  is  closely  monitored  and  counter-parties  to these
contracts  are  selected  on the basis of their  credit  worthiness  among other
factors.
Derivative products are not used for speculative purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounting and reporting  policies of BOK Financial  Corporation  conform to
generally  accepted  accounting  principles and to generally  accepted practices
within the  banking  industry.  The  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of BOK
Financial include the accounts of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries,  primarily
Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. ("BOk"), Bank of Arkansas N.A. (formerly Citizens Bank of
Northwest  Arkansas,  N.A.), First National Bank of Park Cities, and First Texas
Bank.  Certain prior period balances have been  reclassified to conform with the
current period presentation.


(2) MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

At September 30, 1997,  BOk owned the rights to service  89,292  mortgage  loans
with  outstanding  principal  balances of $6.6 billion,  including  $208 million
serviced for BOk. The weighted  average  interest  rate and  remaining  term was
7.71% and 282 months, respectively.

(3) DISPOSAL OF AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES

Sales of available for sale securities for the nine months ending  September 30,
1997 resulted in gains and losses as follows (in thousands):

        Proceeds                            $ 623,003
        Gross realized gains                    2,025
        Gross realized losses                   1,154
        Related federal and state
           income tax expense (benefit)           279


<PAGE>16

(4) EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128,  Earnings Per Share,  which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time,  BOKF will be  required  to change the  method  currently  used to
compute  earnings per share and to restate for all periods  presented.  This new
standard  requires  the  disclosure  of basic  earnings  per share  and  diluted
earnings per share in place of primary and fully diluted earnings per share. The
pro forma  results of  applying  FAS 128 to the third  quarter of 1997 are basic
earnings per share of $0.75 and diluted earnings per share of $0.67, and for the
nine month  period  ending  September  30, 1997 are basic  earnings per share of
$2.20 and diluted earnings per share of $1.97.

(5)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On October 28, 1997, the Board of Directors of BOK Financial declared a 3% stock
dividend  payable in shares of BOK  Financial  common  stock.  The  dividend  is
payable on November  26, 1997 to  shareholders  of record on November  17, 1997.
Generally accepted accounting  principles require earnings per share information
to  be  retroactively  restated  to  reflect  the  new  capital  structure  upon
consummation  of a stock  dividend.  Accordingly,  for all financial  statements
issued after November 26, 1997, earnings per share will be restated as follows:

Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share:

                                                      As Reported      Restated

                Nine Months Ended September 30            1.95          1.89

(6)  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In the ordinary  course of business,  BOK  Financial  and its  subsidiaries  are
subject to legal actions and  complaints.  Management  believes,  based upon the
opinion of counsel,  that the actions and liability or loss,  if any,  resulting
from  the  final  outcomes  of the  proceedings,  will  not be  material  in the
aggregate.

BOk has been sued in the United States District Court for the Northern  District
of Oklahoma by the holder of a mortgage serviced by BOk Mortgage.  The plaintiff
alleges that BOk required the mortgagor to maintain an escrow  balance in excess
of the amount permitted by the mortgage.  The plaintiff seeks to have the action
certified as a class action.  The action was  conditionally  transferred  to the
Multi-District  Litigation  docket,  but  the  Multi-District  Litigation  Panel
returned the action to the Northern District of Oklahoma.  The plaintiff alleges
breach of contract,  breach of fiduciary  duty,  and  violation of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt  Organizations Act and seeks treble damages. No discovery
has  been  conducted  in the  action  and  amount  in  controversy  is  unknown.
Management   has  been  advised  by  counsel   that,   based  upon  the  limited
investigation done to date, BOk has valid defenses to the plaintiffs' claims.
