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, Century Life Assurance Company, Council Oak Partners, LLC, 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, Express Financial Corporation, Mojave Asset Management Company, Desert Asset Management Company, Delamar Asset Management Limited Partnership 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, 2003, the date of the most recent annual report. Certain amounts in the 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 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.

 

(2) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company uses the intrinsic value method, as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, for accounting for its stock-based compensation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” which, if fully adopted by the Company, would change the method the Company applies in recognizing the cost of these plans to the fair value method. Adoption of the cost recognition provisions of FAS 123 is optional and the Company has not adopted such provisions. However, pro forma disclosures as if the Company adopted the cost recognition provisions of FAS 123 in 1995 are required and are presented below.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 to the pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future results. SFAS No. 123 does not apply to grants of options prior to 1995 and the Company anticipates making additional grants in the future.

(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”) which provides guidance for determining when an entity should consolidate another entity that meets the definition of a variable interest entity. Special purpose entities and other types of entities are assessed for consolidation under this new guidance. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated if the company will absorb a majority of the expected losses, will receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. FIN 46 was effective immediately for interests in variable interest entities acquired after January 31, 2003. It applied in the first interim period after June 15, 2003 to interests in variable interest entities acquired before February 1, 2003. As of October 9, 2003, the FASB deferred compliance with FIN 46 from July 1, 2003 to the first period ending after December 15, 2003 for variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003. However, the Company adopted FIN 46 on July 1, 2003, as originally issued, and de-consolidated BFC Capital Trust I. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46 (“Revised FIN 46”) that codified the proposed modifications and other decisions previously issued through certain FASB Staff Positions, made other revisions, and superceded the original FIN 46. The effect of this de-consolidation was to remove the $25,000 of 9.65% Capital Securities and the related interest expense from the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and instead report the $25,000 as part of Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by BancFirst Corporation to the Trust, and the related interest expense thereon. A potential result of the de-consolidation of the Trust could be that the 9.65% Capital Securities and the 7.20% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities described in note (4) would no longer be included in the Company’s Tier 1 capital. The Federal Reserve Board has issued interim guidance that allows such securities to continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital while the issue of de-consolidation continues under review. In May 2004, the Federal Reserve Board requested public comment on a proposed rule that would retain trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, but with stricter limits.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement is effective for all new and modified financial instruments beginning with the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be accounted for as equity and requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities, or assets in certain circumstances. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2004, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” (“EITF 03-1”) which provides guidance on recognizing other-than-temporary impairments on certain investments. The Issue is effective for other-than-temporary impairment evaluations for investments accounted for under FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” as well as non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the adoption of this new standard was not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

(4) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS; MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

 

In January 2003, the Company repurchased 320,000 shares of its common stock for $14,400. The shares were repurchased through a market-maker in the Company’s stock and the repurchase was not a part of the Company’s ongoing Stock Repurchase Program.

 

In October 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Lincoln National Bancorporation (“Lincoln”) of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for cash of $16,949. Lincoln had consolidated total assets of approximately $107,673. As a result of the acquisition, Lincoln was merged into the Company, and Lincoln’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Lincoln National Bank, became a subsidiary of the Company and was merged into BancFirst in February 2004. 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.

 

In November 2003, BancFirst completed the acquisition of the Hobart and Lone Wolf, Oklahoma branches of Gold Bank. As a result of the acquisition, BancFirst purchased approximately $16,256 of loans and other assets, and assumed approximately $40,465 of deposits, for a premium of approximately $2,731. 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.

In January 2004, BancFirst Corporation established BFC Capital Trust II (“BFC II”), a trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act. BancFirst Corporation owns all of the common securities of BFC II. In February 2004, BFC II issued $25,000 of aggregate liquidation amount of 7.20% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to other investors. In March 2004, BFC II issued an additional $1,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through the execution of an over-allotment option. The proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the common securities of BFC II were invested in $26,804 of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures of BancFirst Corporation. Interest payments on the 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures are payable January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. Such interest payments may be deferred for up to twenty consecutive quarters. The stated maturity date of the 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures is March 31, 2034, but they are subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to optional prepayment terms. The Trust Preferred Securities represent an undivided interest in the 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures, are guaranteed by BancFirst Corporation, and currently qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital but could potentially be excluded in the future as discussed in note (3). During any deferral period or during any event of default, BancFirst Corporation may not declare or pay any dividends on any of its capital stock.

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.

 

Changes in the allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows:

(9) LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

 

In June 2003, the Company retired $25,100 of Federal Home Loan Bank advances under its line of credit, and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2,429. This early retirement of the advances was part of a plan to adjust the Company’s interest rate sensitivity. These retired advances had fixed rates from 3.47% to 7.87% and maturities from 2008 to 2017.

 

(10) 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.

Total capital ratio

   8.00 %     13.88 %     13.05 %     12.48 %

 

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, 2004 and 2003, and December 31, 2003, 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.

 

(11) STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

 

In November 1999, the Company adopted a new Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”) authorizing management to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The SRP was amended in May 2001 to increase the

 

10


shares authorized to be purchased by 277,916 shares and was amended again in August 2002 to increase the number of shares authorized to be purchased by 182,265 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, 2004 there were 213,126 shares remaining that could be repurchased under the SRP. Below is a summary of the shares repurchased under the program.

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 second quarter of 2004 was $8.64 million, compared to $8.07 million for the second quarter of 2003. Diluted net income per share was $1.08, compared to $1.02 for the second quarter of 2003. For the first six months of 2004, net income was $16.8 million, compared to $16.7 million for the first six months of 2003. Diluted net income per share for the first six months was $2.11, compared to $2.09 for the first six months of 2003.

 

Total assets at June 30, 2004 increased to $3.03 billion, up $113 million from December 31, 2003 and up $186 million from June 30, 2003. Stockholders’ equity was $261 million at June 30, 2004, up $5.59 million from December 31, 2003 and up $11.6 million compared to June 30, 2003.

 

In October 2003, BancFirst Corporation completed the acquisition of Lincoln National Bancorporation (“Lincoln”) of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for cash of $16.9 million. Lincoln had consolidated total assets of approximately $108 million. As a result of the acquisition, Lincoln was merged into BancFirst Corporation, and Lincoln’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Lincoln National Bank, became a subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation and was merged into BancFirst in February 2004. 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.

 

In November 2003, BancFirst completed the acquisition of the Hobart and Lone Wolf, Oklahoma branches of Gold Bank. As a result of the acquisition, BancFirst purchased approximately $16.3 million of loans and other assets, and assumed approximately $40.5 million of deposits, for a premium of approximately $2.73 million. 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.

 

In January 2004, BancFirst Corporation established BFC Capital Trust II (“BFC II”), a trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act. BancFirst Corporation owns all of the common securities of BFC II. In February 2004, BFC II issued $25.0 million of aggregate liquidation amount of 7.20% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to other investors. In March 2004, BFC II issued an additional $1.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to the over-allotment option. The proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the common securities of BFC II were invested in $26.8 million of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures of BancFirst Corporation.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Second Quarter

 

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2004 was $28.3 million, up $1.29 million from the second quarter of 2003. The net interest margin decreased to 4.12% from 4.21% for the second quarter of 2003. An increase in earning assets between the second quarter of 2004 and the second quarter of 2003, primarily in loans, produced a positive volume variance that was offset by a negative rate variance. In a low rate environment, the benefit of the Company’s noninterest-bearing funds is reduced, resulting in a lower net interest margin. Assuming no change in interest rates, or in the volume or mix of the Company’s loans and deposits, the Company’s net interest income would reasonably be expected to decline.

 

14


The Company provided $201,000 for loan losses in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $1.06 million for the same period of 2003. The decrease in loan losses resulted from a decrease in nonperforming loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans decreased $4.58 million from a year ago to $11.2 million at June 30, 2004. The percentage coverage of loan loss reserve to total nonperforming loans increased from 158.45% at June 30, 2003 to 231.46% at June 30, 2004. Net loan charge-offs were $683,000 for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $752,000 for the second quarter of 2003. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.14% of average total loans for the second quarter of 2004 versus 0.17% for the second quarter of 2003.

 

Noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, increased $1.38 million compared to the second quarter of 2003 due to an increase in service charges on deposits, cash management and electronic banking services, and sales of insurance products. There was a loss of $148,000 on securities transactions in the second quarter of 2004, while gains of $2.46 million were recognized in the second quarter of 2003. Noninterest expense increased $194,000 compared to the second quarter of 2003. In addition, during the second quarter of 2003, a $2.43 million loss on early extinguishment of debt was recognized. Excluding this loss, the increase in noninterest expense compared to the second quarter of 2003 was $2.62 million. The majority of this increase was due to the acquisitions of Lincoln and the Gold Bank branches in the fourth quarter of 2003, and also annual salaries increases effective in January 2004. Income tax expense increased $161,000 compared to the second quarter of 2003. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.13%, compared to 35.88% for the second quarter of 2003.

 

Year-To-Date

 

Net interest income for the first six months of 2004 was $56.3 million, up $2.47 million from the first six months of 2003. The net interest margin decreased to 4.16% for the first six months of 2004 compared to 4.27% for the same period of 2003. An increase in earning assets between the first six months of 2004 and the first six months of 2003, primarily in loans, produced a positive volume variance that was offset by a negative rate variance. In a low rate environment, the benefit of the Company’s noninterest-bearing funds is reduced, resulting in a lower net interest margin. Assuming no change in interest rates, or in the volume or mix of the Company’s loans and deposits, the Company’s net interest income would reasonably be expected to decline.

 

The Company provided $921,000 for loan losses in the first six months of 2004, compared to $1.85 million for the same period of 2003. The decrease in loan losses resulted from a decrease in nonperforming loans. The Company’s nonperforming loans decreased $4.58 million from a year ago to $11.2 million at June 30, 2004. The percentage coverage of loan loss reserve to total nonperforming loans increased from 158.45% at June 30, 2003 to 231.46% at June 30, 2004. Net loan charge-offs were $1.15 million for the first six months of 2004, compared to $1.21 million for the first six months of 2003. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.12% of average total loans for the first six months of 2004 versus 0.13% for the first six months of 2003.

 

Noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, for the first six months of 2004 increased $1.92 million compared to the same period in 2003 due to an increase in service charges on deposits, cash management and electronic banking services, sales of insurance products and a gain of $421,000 on the sale of a minority interest in a community bank. There was a loss of $148,000 on securities transactions in the first six months of 2004, while gains of $3.08 million were recognized in the first six months of 2003. Noninterest expense increased $1.80 million compared to the first six months of 2003. During the first six months of 2003, a $2.43 million loss on early extinguishment of debt was recognized. Excluding this loss, the increase in noninterest expense compared to the first six months of 2003 was $4.23 million. The majority of this increase was due to the acquisitions of Lincoln and the Gold Bank branches in the fourth quarter of 2003, and also annual salaries increases effective in January 2004. Income tax expense increased $131,000 compared to the first six months of 2003. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.34%, compared to 35.23% for the first six months of 2003.

 

FINANCIAL POSITION

 

The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold increased $87.9 million from December 31, 2003, and decreased $41.1 million from June 30, 2003. The increase from December 31, 2003 was mainly from an increases in deposits, while the decrease from June 30, 2003 resulted from growth in loans and securities.

 

15


Total securities increased $5.69 million compared to December 31, 2003 and $39.8 million compared to June 30, 2003. 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 net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, before taxes, was $4.64 million at the end of the second quarter of 2004, compared to an unrealized gain of $15.0 million at December 31, 2003 and a gain of $23.7 million at June 30, 2003. The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the second quarter of 2004 decreased to 4.03% from 4.61% for the same quarter of 2003.

 

Total loans increased $16.7 million from December 31, 2003, and increased $167 million from June 30, 2003. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2003 was due to the acquisitions of Lincoln and the Gold Bank branches in the fourth quarter of 2003, and internal growth. The allowance for loan losses decreased $227,000 from year-end 2003 and increased $917,000 from the second quarter of 2003. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.32%, 1.34% and 1.39% at June 30, 2004, December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, respectively. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was 231.46%, 158.76% and 158.45%, respectively.

 

Nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $11.2 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $16.5 million at December 31, 2003 and $15.8 million at June 30, 2003. The ratio of nonperforming and restructured loans to total loans for the same periods was 0.57%, 0.85% and 0.88%, respectively. The level of nonperforming loans and loan losses may rise over time as a result of economic and credit cycles.

 

Total deposits increased $82.8 million compared to December 31, 2003, and $166 million compared to June 30, 2003, due to the acquisitions of Lincoln and the Gold Bank branches in the fourth quarter of 2003, and internal growth. The Company’s deposit base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit being only 8.34% of total deposits at June 30, 2004, compared to 8.96% at December 31, 2003 and 9.00% at June 30, 2003.

 

Short-term borrowings increased $4.43 million from December 31, 2003, and decreased $7.75 million from June 30, 2003. 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 $2.39 million from year-end 2003 and $4.68 million from the second quarter of 2003. The Company uses these borrowings primarily to match-fund long-term fixed-rate loans.

 

Junior subordinated debentures increased $26.8 million in the first six months of 2004 due to the issuance of the 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures to BFC Capital Trust II.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $5.59 million from year-end 2003 and $11.6 million from the second quarter of 2003, due to accumulated earnings offset by a decrease in unrealized gains in securities. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets for the second quarter of 2004 was 8.82%, compared to 8.80% for the second quarter of 2003. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.28% and 13.88%, respectively, at June 30, 2004, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.
