MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.3 million compared to $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. Diluted net income per share was $0.40 and $0.89 for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the first six months of 2009, net income was $13.4 million, compared to $25.3 million for the first six months of 2008. Diluted net income per share for the first six months of 2009 was $0.86 compared to $1.63 for the first six months of 2008.

Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $4.3 billion, up $402 million from December 31, 2008 and up $429 million from a year ago. Total loans were $2.74 billion, down $20 million from December 31, 2008 and up $129 million from June 30, 2008. Total deposits were $3.8 billion, up $405 million from December 31, 2008 and up $416 million from June 30, 2008. Stockholders' equity was $419 million at June 30, 2009, up $5.4 million from December 31, 2008 and up $32.0 million compared to June 30, 2008. The Company's liquidity remains strong as its average loan to deposit ratio was 79.7% at quarter end and core deposits represented 88.6% of total deposits. The Company had no brokered deposits and no Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Stockholder's equity was $419 million at June 30, 2009 which was 9.8% of total assets.

On November 18, 2008 the Company announced it would not accept funds from the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program due to current capital levels that exceeded well-capitalized guidelines and the potential for additional governmental regulation related to the program. Also, the Company did not elect to participate in the Debt Guarantee Program for newly issued senior unsecured debt. The Company did elect to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program for extended coverage on non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts.

In April 2008, the Company completed an $80 million sale of securities resulting in a securities pre-tax gain of $6.1 million. The transaction resulted in the sale of $80 million of US Treasury securities and the purchase of Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) senior debt securities of similar amounts and maturities. The after-tax impact of these transactions, net of the interest income differential, was approximately $3.8 million or $0.24 per diluted earnings per share for the second quarter, and $3.3 million or $0.21 per diluted earnings per share for the year.

In March 2008, the Company, as a member bank of Visa, recorded a $1.8 million pre-tax gain from the mandatory partial redemption of the Company's Visa shares received in the first quarter initial public offering. The gain was included in gain on sale of other assets.

Beginning in 2008 and into 2009, the national economy has seen declining home sales and values, declining commodity prices, increasing unemployment, and unstable financial markets. These events have caused credit and liquidity issues throughout the country and has resulted in an increase in credit losses at many U.S. banks. While the Oklahoma economy initially performed better than the national average, the state has felt the impact of the national recession primarily from lower commodity prices and lower tax revenues. Consequently, it is reasonable to expect nonperforming loans and loan losses of the Company to increase. Also, in light of declining interest rates and competitive pressures for deposits, the Company's interest rate margin will likely compress further, and it is likely to experience slower loan growth. The FDIC increased deposit insurance premiums in 2009 and has made a Special Assessment in the second quarter of 2009. These increases will cause the Company's noninterest expense to increase in 2009. The Company opted to participate in the deposit insurance guarantee for noninterest bearing deposits in excess of $250,000. This program is at a cost of 10 basis points on those account balances in excess of $250,000.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter

Net interest income totaled $32.5 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 6.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2008. The Company's net interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) was 3.44% compared to 4.08% for the same period a year ago. The lower interest rate environment combined with an increase in earning assets with a higher concentration in overnight funds has caused the Company's net interest margin to decline.

The Company's provision for loan losses was $4.9 million compared to $3.5 million during the same period a year ago. The loan provision was driven primarily by the identification of a small number of commercial credits that were internally downgraded by management. Although it is possible a majority of the loans in question could be rehabilitated to performing status, provisions were made consistent with the Company's loan reserve methodology. Net loan charge-offs were $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $220,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The net charge-offs represent a rate of 0.33% of average total loans for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 0.03% for the same period in 2008.

Noninterest income was $17.0 million compared to recurring operating noninterest income of $16.0 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of 6.3%, due to commercial deposit fees and increases in income from the sale of mortgage loans and student loans. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2008 was adjusted for a one-time gain of approximately $1.8 million, before taxes, from the Company's interest in the Visa initial public offering, a $6.1 million gain on the sale of securities, and a $1.2 million gain on the sale of an asset. Noninterest expense totaled $35.2 million versus $33.6 million for the second quarter of 2008, which included the FDIC Special Assessment of $1.9 million and higher deposit insurance premiums of $1.1 million. Apart from the Special Assessment and higher premiums, noninterest expense was down 3.9% compared to the previous year. The Company's effective tax rate was 34.2% for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 34.5% for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease is a result of additional tax credits realized in 2009.

Year-To-Date

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $64.3 million, a decrease of $5.9 million from the same period in 2008. The net interest margin in 2009 decreased to 3.56% from 4.16% for the first six months of 2008. The lower interest rate environment combined with an increase in earning assets with a higher concentration in overnight funds has caused the Company's net interest margin to decline.

The Company's loan loss provision was $8.2 million in the first six months of 2009, compared to $5.3 million for the same period of 2008. The loan provision was driven primarily by the identification of a small number of commercial credits that were internally downgraded by management. Net loan charge-offs were $3.2 million for the first six months of 2009, compared to $934,000 for the first six months of 2008. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.23% of average total loans for the first six months of 2009 compared to 0.07% for the first six months of 2008.

Core noninterest income for the six months of 2009 increased $2.2 million compared to the same period for 2008. Noninterest income during the first six months of 2008 included a one-time gain of approximately $1.8 million, before taxes, from the Company's interest in the Visa initial public offering, a $6.1 million gain on the sale of securities, and a $1.2 million gain on the sale of an asset. Core noninterest income was up in 2009 due to increases in commercial deposit fees and sales of mortgage loans and student loans. Noninterest expense increased $3.2 million compared to the first half of 2008 which included the FDIC Special Assessment of $1.9 million and higher deposit insurance premiums of $1.8 million. Apart from the Special Assessment and higher premiums, noninterest expense was down $500,000 compared to the previous year. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 33.1%, compared to 34.9% for the first six months of 2008. The decrease is a result of additional tax credits realized in 2009.


FINANCIAL POSITION

The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold as of June 30, 2009 increased $455 million from December 31, 2008 and increased $342 million from June 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to sweep account customers moving from outside money market funds to bank deposits and to a lesser extent from growth in deposits.

Total securities decreased $38 million compared to December 31, 2008 and $31 million compared to June 30, 2008. 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 and to meet possible liquidity needs. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, before taxes, was $19.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2009, compared to an unrealized gain of $22.0 million at December 31, 2008, and an unrealized gain of $5.2 million at June 30, 2008. The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 3.74%, 3.94% and 4.15% at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively

Total loans decreased $20 million from December 31, 2008 and increased $129 million from June 30, 2008. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2008 was due primarily to commercial, real estate and student loans. The decrease from year end was due to student loan sales. Due to changes in the Student Loan Program, the Company will generally sell student loans originated within one year. The allowance for loan losses increased $5.0 million from year-end 2008 and $5.8 million from the second quarter of 2008. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.44%, 1.24% and 1.28% at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was 84.0%, 144.5% and 240.3%, respectively.

Nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $46.8 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $23.7 million at December 31, 2008 and $13.9 million at June 30, 2008. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company transferred a commercial real estate property consisting of undeveloped land into Other Real Estate Owned. The property was recorded at net realizable value. The ratios of nonperforming and restructured loans to total loans for the same periods were 1.71%, 0.86% and 0.53%, respectively. The level of nonperforming loans and loan losses may rise over time as a result of economic and credit cycles.

Total deposits increased $405 million compared to December 31, 2008, and $416 million compared to June 30, 2008 due to customers moving funds out of off-balance sheet money market accounts and into interest bearing deposits at the bank. The Company's deposit base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit being only 11.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2009, compared to 10.0% at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. Noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits were 28.7% at June 30, 2009, compared to 30.4% at December 31, 2008 and 30.2% at June 30, 2008.

Short-term borrowings decreased $12.4 million from December 31, 2008, and $13.9 million from June 30, 2008 to $500,000. 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 $99,000 from the second quarter of 2008 to zero. The Company does not have any borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 2009.

Stockholders' equity was $419 million at June 30, 2009 which was an increase of $5.4 million from year-end 2008 and an increase of $32 million from the second quarter of 2008 due to accumulated earnings. Average stockholders' equity to average assets for the second quarter of 2009 was 10.5%, compared to 10.4% at year-end 2008, and 10.3% for the second quarter of 2008. The Company's leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.26% and 14.37%, respectively, at June 30, 2009, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.
