                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Plan Administrative Committee
BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Hourly Employees

We have audited the accompanying  statement of net assets available for benefits
of the BOK  Financial  Thrift Plan for Hourly  Employees as of December 31, 1999
and the related  statement of changes in net assets  available  for benefits for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.   These  financial   statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audit  provides a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the net assets  available  for benefits at December 31,
1999,  and the changes in its net assets  available  for  benefits  for the year
ended  December 31, 1999, in conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States.

Our audit was  performed  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The  accompanying  supplemental  schedule of assets
held  for  investment  purposes  at end of  year as of  December  31,  1999,  is
presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974.  This  supplemental  schedule  is the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  The  supplemental  schedule has been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in our audit of the  financial
statements  and, in our opinion,  is fairly  stated in all material  respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                 BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Hourly Employees

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1999

1. Description of Plan

The following  description of the BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Hourly Employees
(the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Summary Plan Description or the Plan document for a more complete description of
the Plan's provisions.

General

Effective January 1, 1999,  through a resolution of the Board of Directors dated
July 1,   1999,  the  BOK  Financial   Thrift  Plan  for  Hourly  Employees  was
established.  The  Plan is a  401(k)  defined  contribution  plan  for  eligible
employees  of BOK  Financial  Corporation  ("BOKF")  and  its  subsidiaries  and
affiliates (collectively, the "Employer" or "Company"). The Plan is administered
by Bank of Oklahoma.

Eligibility

All  employees  of the Employer  who are  compensated  on an hourly basis except
those  covered under a collective  bargaining  agreement and those treated as an
independent  contractor are eligible to participate at age 21 and after one year
of service (equivalent to 1,000 hours).

Contributions

Participants  may contribute up to 12% of their  compensation (as defined in the
Plan) on a pre-tax basis,  pursuant to a salary  reduction  agreement filed with
the Plan  Administrator,  and/or on an  after-tax  basis to various fund options
provided by the Plan as directed by the  participant.  The sum of the percentage
of  pre-tax  and   after-tax   contributions   shall  not  exceed  20%  of  each
participant's compensation.

The  Employer may  contribute  out of net current  profits and earned  surplus a
matching  contribution.  The  matching  contribution  may be  made in cash or in
shares of BOKF Common Stock. In 1999 the matching contribution was made in cash.

                                       4
<PAGE>

1. Description of Plan (continued)

Employer's  matching  contribution is determined by the  participant's years of
service. The Employer  contribution ranges from $.40 to $1.00 for each dollar of
the  participant's  contribution,  up to 5% of  compensation,  based on years of
service as follows:

           Years of Service                              Matching Percentage
--------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------

        Less than three years                                    40%
        At least three, but less than seven, years               60%
        At least seven, but less than ten, years                 80%
        Ten or more years                                       100%

Participant Accounts

Each participant's  account is credited with the participant's  contribution and
allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations
are based on participant  earnings or account balances,  as defined. The benefit
to which a participant  is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
participant's vested account.

Vesting

The participants vest in matching  contributions made by the Employer based upon
the years of service as defined by the Plan.  Participants  are 100% vested upon
completion of five years of service and are immediately vested in their deferred
(pre-tax)  contributions,  voluntary  contributions,  and  the  actual  earnings
thereon.

Participant Notes Receivable

The Plan may make loans to  participants in amounts not less than $1,000 and not
to exceed the lesser of $50,000  or fifty  percent of the  participant's  vested
account  balance.  Loans will bear interest  based on the current  banking prime
rate and may not  exceed a  five-year  term,  unless it is used to  acquire  the
primary  residence of the participant,  in which case the maximum term may be 25
years.  The loans are  secured  by the  balance  in the  participant's  account.
Interest rates range from 6% to 12%.  Repayment is made by payroll  withholdings
of level installments of principal and interest.
                                       5

1. Description of Plan (continued)

Payment of Benefits

A participant who terminates  employment with a vested account balance less than
$5,000 will receive a lump-sum payment.  If the participant has a vested balance
which exceeds $5,000, the plan will make a distribution only with the consent of
the  participant  at any time  prior to the  earlier of the  participant's  65th
birthday or death. In lieu of a lump-sum  payment,  a participant who terminates
employment as an employee after his 65th birthday or after  attaining age 60 and
completing  10 years of service shall be entitled to elect  monthly,  quarterly,
semi-annual  or annual  installment  payments  to be paid  over a period  not to
exceed 10 years from the benefit  commencement  date.  The  installments  may be
accelerated at the direction of the participant.

Forfeited Accounts

Forfeited balances of terminated  participants'  nonvested accounts are utilized
to pay  administrative  costs  or to  reduce  Employer  contributions.  Employer
contributions for 1999 have been reduced by forfeitures of $525.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The  financial  statements  of the Plan are  prepared on the  accrual  method of
accounting.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

BOKF Common Stock is stated at fair value based on the last reported sales price
on the last  business day of the Plan year,  as quoted by a national  securities
exchange.  The fair  values of mutual  funds are based on quoted  market  prices
which  represents the current net asset shares held by the Plan. The participant
notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Cash and cash
equivalents  include highly liquid short-term  investments which have a maturity
of ninety days or less when  acquired and are valued at cost which  approximates
fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Administrative Expenses

The Employer pays all administrative  expenses except for loan origination fees,
which are paid by participants.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
that affect the amounts  reported in the financial  statements and  accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Investments

The Plan's  investments  are held by a bank  administered  trust fund at Bank of
Oklahoma,  N.A.  Trust  Division  (the  "Trustee").   During  1999,  the  Plan's
investments  (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well
as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows:

        BOK Financial Corporation Common Stock                         $(1,931)
        American Performance Mutual Funds                                  612
        SEI Mutual Funds                                                 1,319
        American AAdvantage Funds                                           95

                                                                      ----------
                                                                      $    269
                                                                      ==========

4. Plan Termination

The Employer expects to continue the Plan  indefinitely.  However,  the Employer
reserves the right to discontinue  the Plan or to amend the Plan, in whole or in
part, from  time-to-time.  In the event of Plan  termination,  participants will
become 100% vested in their accounts.


                                      7

5. Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service,
dated November 24, 1999, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(e)
of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt
from  taxation.  Once  qualified,  the Plan is required to operate in conformity
with the IRC to maintain its qualification.  The Plan Administrator believes the
Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC
and,  therefore believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.
