NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)

GENERAL

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BancFirst Corporation, Council Oak Partners, LLC, Wilcox, Jones & McGrath, Inc., and BancFirst and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The operating subsidiaries of BancFirst are Council Oak Investment Corporation, BancFirst Agency, Inc., Lenders Collection Corporation, BancFirst Community Development Corporation and Council Oak Real Estate, Inc. 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. Certain amounts for 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

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, 2007, the date of the most recent annual report.

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)

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements).

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159 (“FAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” FAS 159 allows entities to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. FAS 159 also requires entities to report those financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in a manner that separates those reported fair values from the carrying amounts of similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute on the face of the statement of financial position. Lastly, FAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to improve comparability between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted if an entity also early adopts the provisions of FAS 157. The Company has determined that it does not intend to elect to use the fair value option to value financial assets and liabilities in accordance with FAS 159.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. FAS 141R will become effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company will evaluate the effect that the adoption of FAS 141R will have on future acquisitions.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

In November 2006, the Company announced its intent to exercise the optional prepayment terms of its 9.65% Junior Subordinated Debentures. The securities were redeemed effective January 15, 2007 for a redemption price equal to 104.825% of the aggregate $25 million liquidation amount of the trust securities plus all accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. As a result of the prepayment, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $1.2 million after taxes in the first quarter of 2007. The loss reflects the premium paid and the acceleration of the unamortized issuance costs.

During the first quarter of 2007 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Armor Assurance Company (Armor), an insurance agency in Muskogee, Oklahoma for cash of approximately $3.3 million and a $372,000 note payable in three equal annual installments. The transaction was consummated in April 2007. Armor had total assets of approximately $364,000. As a result of the acquisition, Armor was merged with the Company’s existing property casualty agency, Wilcox & Jones, to form Wilcox, Jones & McGrath, Inc. 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 acquisition forward. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for 2007 or the first quarter of 2008.

In June 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell one of its investments held by Council Oak Investment Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst, that resulted in a one-time pretax gain of approximately $7.8 million. The transaction was consummated on August 1, 2007 and was included in noninterest income – securities transactions in the third quarter of 2007. The Company made a $1 million contribution to its charitable foundation with the funds from the gain. This one-time gain, net of related expenses, income taxes and the contribution had a net income effect of approximately $3.9 million.

In July 2007, the Company was awarded and received the $3.1 million bond claim by their fidelity bond carrier for the $3.3 million cash shortfall that was reported in the second quarter of 2005.

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.

The Company held 265 and 169 debt securities available for sale that had unrealized gains as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These securities had a market value totaling $414.2 million and $88.6 million, respectively, and unrealized gains totaling $18.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company also held 26 and 155 debt securities available for sale that had unrealized losses, respectively. These securities had a market value totaling $12.0 million and $304.4 million and unrealized losses totaling $8,000 and $3.7 million, respectively. These unrealized losses occurred due to increases in interest rates and spreads and not as a result of a decline in credit quality. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold these debt securities until the unrealized losses are recovered.

Loans held for sale (included above)	$	9,468			$	9,264			$	8,320

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 (dollars in thousands):

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 financial statements. The required minimums and the Company’s respective ratios are shown below (dollars in thousands).

STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

In November 1999, the Company adopted a new Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”) authorizing management to repurchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The SRP was amended in May 2001, August of 2002, and September of 2007 to increase the shares authorized to be purchased by 555,832 shares, 364,530 shares and 366,948 shares, respectively. 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 March 31, 2008 there were 560,000 shares remaining that could be repurchased under the SRP. Below is a summary of the shares repurchased under the program.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

BancFirst Corporation adopted a nonqualified incentive stock option plan (the “BancFirst ISOP”) in May 1986. In May 2006, the Company amended the BancFirst ISOP to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 2,500,000 shares. At March 31, 2008, 88,410 shares are available for future grants. The BancFirst ISOP will terminate December 31, 2011. The options are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years. Options granted prior to 1996 expire at the end of eleven years from the date of the grant. Options granted after January 1, 1996 expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of March 31, 2008 will become exercisable through the year 2015. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.

In June 1999, the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan”). Each non-employee director is granted an option for 10,000 shares. In May 2006, the Company amended the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 180,000 shares. At March 31, 2008, 25,000 shares are available for future grants. The options are exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of March 31, 2008 will become exercisable through the year 2012. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted, on a modified prospective basis, the fair value provisions of FAS 123R. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is based on certain assumptions including risk-free rate of return, dividend yield, stock price volatility, and the expected term. The fair value of each option is expensed over its vesting period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded share-based employee compensation expense of approximately $175,000 and $174,000 respectively, net of tax.

The Company will continue to amortize the remaining fair value of these stock options of approximately $3.6 million, net of tax, over the remaining vesting period of approximately seven years. Share-based employee compensation expense under the fair value method was measured using the following assumptions for the options granted:


	2008		2007
Risk-free interest rate	4.12	%	4.77	%
Dividend yield	1.50	%	1.55	%
Stock price volatility	38.05	%	27.02	%
Expected term	10 Yrs		10 Yrs

The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the spot zero-coupon rate for the U.S. Treasury security with a maturity similar to the expected term of the options. The dividend yield is the expected yield for the expected term. The stock price volatility is estimated from the recent historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term is estimated from the historical option exercise experience.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company evaluates its performance with an internal profitability measurement system that measures the profitability of its business units on a pre-tax basis. The four principal business units are metropolitan banks, community banks, other financial services, and executive, operations and support. Metropolitan and community banks offer traditional banking products such as commercial and retail lending, and a full line of deposit accounts. Metropolitan banks consist of banking locations in the metropolitan Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. Community banks consist of banking locations in communities throughout Oklahoma. Other financial services are specialty product business units including guaranteed small business lending, guaranteed student lending, residential mortgage lending, trust services, securities brokerage, electronic banking and insurance. The executive, operations and support groups represent executive management, operational support and corporate functions that are not allocated to the other business units.

The results of operations and selected financial information for the four business units are as follows (dollars in thousands):

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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Positions (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” the Company will delay application of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, until January 1, 2009. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

FAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

•

Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•

Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Securities Available for Sale

U.S. Treasury Bills are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value information from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The Company also invests in equity securities classified as available for sale for which observable information is not readily available. These securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. For these securities, management determines the fair value based on replacement cost, the income approach or information provided by outside consultants or lead investors.

Derivatives

Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its commodity swaps/options. The Company utilizes internal valuation models with observable market data inputs to estimate fair values.

Loans Held For Sale

The Company originates mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market. At the time of origination, the acquiring bank has already been determined and the terms of the loan, including interest rate, have already been set by the acquiring bank allowing the Company to originate the loan at fair value. Mortgage loans are generally sold within 45 days of origination and gains or losses recognized upon the sale of the loans are determined on a specific identification basis.

Impaired Loans

Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria and are considered in the calculation of the allowance for loan loss reserves.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):


	Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs		Total Fair Value

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

BancFirst Corporation will have securities gains of approximately $6.1 million in the second quarter. The Company has completed a bond swap which 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 is expected to be $3.7 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.

BANCFIRST CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $11.6 million compared to $11.1 for the first quarter of 2007. Diluted net income per share was $0.74 and $0.69 for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a $1.2 million after-tax gain related to the Visa initial public offering.

Net interest income totaled $35.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 2.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2007. The Company’s net interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) was 4.24% compared to 4.75% for the same period a year ago. The decrease in the net interest margin was driven by the Federal Reserve Bank’s reduction in rates over the past seven months. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $1.78 million compared to a negative provision of $31,000 during the same period a year ago. The increase in loan losses was due primarily to a single large relationship that was downgraded by management. Noninterest income of $17.2 million was up 24.2% over the same period in 2007. Noninterest income during the first quarter 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. Core noninterest income was up $1.5 million due to growth in deposit accounts, insurance commissions and premiums, and cash management services. Noninterest expense totaled $32.9 million versus $33.4 million for the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of $493,000, or 1.48%. Last year’s expenses included a $1.9 million charge for the early redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. The increase in the core operating expenses over a year ago was attributable to the increase in salaries and benefits due to the Company’s growth, and expenses of an insurance agency acquired in the second quarter of 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate was 35.3% for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 34.1% for the first quarter of 2007.

Total assets at March 31, 2008 were $3.8 billion, up $43.1 million from December 31, 2007 and up $264.4 million from a year ago. Total loans increased to $2.50 billion, up $13.8 million from December 31, 2007 and up $164.8 million from March 31, 2007. Total deposits were $3.3 billion, up $13.6 million from December 31, 2007 and up $232.9 million from March 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity was $386 million at March 31, 2008, up $14.2 million from December 31, 2007 and up $30.7 million compared to March 31, 2007.

In recent months certain events in the national economy have caused credit and liquidity issues, declining home sales, rising commodity prices and a declining dollar resulting in an increase in credit losses at many U.S. banks. The deterioration in the economy has led to mixed reviews on whether or not the nation has entered into a recession. While the Oklahoma economy is currently performing better than the national average, it would be reasonable to expect that the state would eventually feel the impact of a national recession. If that were the case, it is likely that loan losses of the Company would increase.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2008 was $35.4 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from the first quarter of 2007. The net interest margin in 2008 decreased to 4.24% from 4.75% for the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in the net interest margin was driven by the Federal Reserve Bank’s reduction in rates over the past seven months.

The Company provided a $1.78 million provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2008, compared to a negative provision of $31,000 for the same period of 2007. The increase in loan losses was due primarily to a single large relationship that was downgraded by management. Net loan charge-offs were $714,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $176,000 for the first quarter of 2007. The net charge-offs represent an annualized rate of 0.12% of average total loans for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 0.03% for the first quarter of 2007.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2008 increased $3.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2007. Noninterest income during the first quarter 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. Core noninterest income was up $1.5 million due to growth in deposit accounts, insurance commissions and premiums, and cash management services. Noninterest expense decreased $493,000 compared to the first quarter of 2007. Last year’s expenses included a $1.9 million charge for the early redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. The increase in the core operating expenses over a year ago was attributable to the increase in salaries and benefits due to the Company’s growth, and expenses of an insurance agency acquired in the second quarter of 2007. Income tax expense increased $583,000 compared to the first quarter of 2007. The effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.3%, compared to 34.1% for the first quarter of 2007. The reduction in the Company’s 2007 tax rate was due in part to tax credits from certain loan transactions that reduced the Company’s income taxes for the first quarter of 2007.

In July 2007, the Company was awarded and received the $3.1 million bond claim by their fidelity bond carrier for the $3.3 million cash shortfall that was reported in the second quarter of 2005.

In June 2007, the Company entered in to an agreement to sell one of its investments held by Council Oak Investment Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst, that resulted in a one-time pretax gain of approximately $7.8 million. The transaction was consummated on August 1, 2007 and was included in noninterest income – securities transactions in the third quarter of 2007. The Company made a $1 million contribution to its charitable foundation with the funds from the gain. This one-time gain, net of related expenses, income taxes and the contribution had a net income effect of approximately $3.9 million.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold increased $34.2 million from December 31, 2007, and $61.8 million from March 31, 2007. These increases were mainly from deposit growth in late 2007 and early 2008.

Total securities decreased $4.9 million compared to December 31, 2007 and increased $32.1 million compared to March 31, 2007. 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 $21.32 million at the end of the first quarter of 2008, compared to an unrealized gain of $10.69 million at December 31, 2007 and an unrealized gain of $1.45 million at March 31, 2007. The average taxable equivalent yield on the securities portfolio for the first quarter of 2008 decreased to 4.37% from 4.74% for the same quarter of 2007.

Total loans increased $13.8 million from December 31, 2007 and increased $164.8 million from March 31, 2007. The increase compared to year end and first quarter 2007 was due to internal loan growth. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.07 million from year-end 2007 and $2.70 million from the first quarter of 2007. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.21%, 1.17% and 1.18% at March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was 225.34%, 215.57% and 221.90%, respectively.

Nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $13.4 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2007 and $12.4 million at March 31, 2007. The ratio of nonperforming and restructured loans to total loans for the same periods was 0.54%, 0.54% 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 $13.60 million compared to December 31, 2007, and $232.90 million compared to March 31, 2007 due to internal growth. The Company’s deposit base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit being only 10.03% of total deposits at March 31, 2008, compared to 9.20% at December 31, 2007 and 8.76% at March 31, 2007.

Short-term borrowings increased $7.67 million from December 31, 2007, and decreased $9.02 million from March 31, 2007. 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 year-end 2007 and $363,000 from the first quarter of 2007. The decrease since the first quarter and year end of 2007 was due to scheduled principal payments.

Stockholders’ equity was $386.2 million at March 31, 2008 which was an increase of $14.22 million from year-end 2007 and an increase of $30.70 million from the first quarter of 2007 due to accumulated earnings. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets for the first quarter of 2008 was 10.27%, compared to 10.18% for the first quarter of 2007. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.50% and 13.54%, respectively, at March 31, 2008, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.
