The Places of the Story

Since 1991, BOK Financial Corporation has evolved from a bank committed to unparalleled
local service in one state to an integrated financial services company dedicated to relationship
banking  region-wide.  As  always,  we  remain  resolute  in  our  devotion  to  creating  value  for  our
shareholders, clients, employees and communities. This is our story ….

Creating Value
The BOK Financial Corporation Story

IIn an age of interminable change, our story remains the same ... 14 years of

record earnings and superior returns for our investors. As we enter our 15th
year,  BOK  Financial  Corporation  remains  committed  to  growth  by  offering
our clients superior products and services with a steadfast focus on providing
long-term value for our shareholders.

In 2004, BOK Financial delivered record earnings, including net income of $179 million, or

$2.68 per share, an increase of 13 percent over 2003. Our growth continues to be supported by

revenue  diversity  and  geographic  expansion.  We  are  enhancing  our  reach  with  the  planned

acquisition  of  Valley  Commerce  Bank  in  Phoenix,  one  of  the  country’s  most  dynamic  markets.

With  this  new  entry,  we  will  have  full-service  banks  in  six  states  and  offices  in  10.  Revenue

diversity helped us overcome the impact of the slowdown in mortgage activity, which accounted

for 18 percent of net income in 2003 but only 1 percent in 2004. Non-interest revenue from fees

and commissions constituted 42 percent of revenue in 2004 compared with 34 percent for peer

banks with assets half to double ours. Coupled with this is a devotion to improving productivity

and efficiency. Our efficiency ratio of 60 percent compares favorably to peers with a similar mix

of  fee  revenue.  Our  credit  quality  remains  very  strong,  and  our  success  is  bolstered  by  a

commitment  to  strong  local  leadership,  prudent  expense  management  and  retention  and

recruitment of accomplished local bankers.  

On  the  following  pages,  we  tell  our  story.  But  first,  we  would  like  to  acknowledge  the
dedication  of  our  3,500 employees.  Their  commitment  to  excellence  and  achievement  with
integrity  enables  BOK  Financial  to  provide  quality  relationship  banking  and  financial  services

that  we  believe  are  the  best  in  the  markets  we  serve.  Our  employees  will  continue  to  provide

sophisticated  products  and  services  with  a  commitment  to  old-fashioned  banking  that  prizes

close, personal attention and a dedication first and foremost to meeting client needs. 

As we tell our story—and live it—we at BOK Financial will always value our people, value our

clients and remain committed to the communities we serve. All the while, we will work to generate

optimal  long-term  returns  for  our  shareholders.  And  with  that,  this  is  our  story… 

it’s about creating lasting value, both now and into the future.

The BOK Financial Corporation Story

Creating Value
For Investors, Clients and Communities

IIn  1991,  BOK  Financial  Corporation  was  a  $2  billion  bank  focused  on  a  single  state.  Today,  we  are  a

diversified, $15 billion regional financial services company with a presence in the Southwest, Midwest and
the Rockies. Our 20 full-service banking locations have grown to 149 locations in six states, plus broker-
dealer offices in 10. Our emergence as a regional financial force for businesses, consumers, institutions
and  investors  has  provided  an  annual  return  of  28  percent  for  our  shareholders  since  our  founding.  A
$10,000 investment in BOK Financial in 1991 was worth $248,773 at the end of 2004.

That’s our story. It’s about creating value—for our investors, clients, employees and communities—
through a commitment to principles, strategies and structure that promote prudent growth while keeping
a  vigilant  eye  on  providing  the  best,  most  responsive  service  available.  Although  our  results  speak  for
themselves, we are not content. We continue to enhance the value of our franchise for all our stakeholders.
We are the largest bank in our original market and have enjoyed solid growth corporate-wide. Regionally,
we are not bent on being the biggest bank, just one that offers the best service in the areas we choose to
compete.  We  have  grown  through  guidance  from  a  simple  vision—to  provide  sophisticated  products
competitive with the largest banks but delivered with personal, responsive client service characteristic of
a  local  bank  putting  the  needs  of  customers  first.  Our  vision  is  backed  by  strategies  that  foster  growth.
We aim to: 

(cid:2) leverage our leadership position in Oklahoma, 

(cid:2) expand into growing metropolitan markets in the region, 

(cid:2) diversify and grow non-interest revenue, and

(cid:2) focus on opportunities to serve the commercial middle market,

small business and retail clients. 

Supporting  our  strategies  is  a  consistent  commitment  to  credit  quality  in  a  diversified  loan 
portfolio. We also continue to introduce new technologies that enhance our products and services, creating
operating efficiencies as part of our approach to sensible expense management. While we endeavor to hold
down business costs, our chief aim is to improve client service and maximize opportunities to generate
new revenue.

Our vision and strategies are reinforced by a business model that fosters communication among our
relationship officers across business lines to fully meet each client’s needs. In doing so, we make the most
of opportunities before us and avoid the isolation that shortchanges clients with diverse financial needs.
Our  broad,  inclusive  focus  is  built  on  the  experience  of  top  executives  averaging  more  than  25  years  of 
industry  experience  and  13  years  on  average  at  our  company.  The  percentage  of  company  ownership

2
The BOK Financial Corporation Story

personally maintained by our board of directors is among the highest in the nation, which helps create
strong alignment between management and shareholders. Executives oversee three divisions dedicated to
client care:

(cid:2) Consumer and Wealth Management encompasses Consumer, Trust, Private Financial 

Services, Mortgage, Community Development and Investment Services;

(cid:2) Oklahoma/Arkansas Commercial includes Commercial, Treasury Services, and the 

electronic funds business in our largest Commercial Banking segment; and

(cid:2) Regional Banking, our fastest growing segment, has oversight of banking activities

in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.

Through all our efforts, we stand first and foremost behind local banks managed by local bankers and
local  boards  of  directors  who  value  attention  to  client  satisfaction  and  community  service  through  six
national affiliate banks and our broker-dealer. We are:

(cid:2) Bank of Albuquerque (Albuquerque and Santa Fe)

(cid:2) Bank of Arkansas (Fayetteville and Bentonville)

(cid:2) Bank of Oklahoma (Oklahoma City, Tulsa and nine communities)

(cid:2) Bank of Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Greater Houston and Sherman)

(cid:2) Colorado State Bank and Trust (Denver)

(cid:2) Valley Commerce Bank (Phoenix and Scottsdale) - closing anticipated April 2005

(cid:2) BOSC, Inc. (offices in 10 states)

Our  values  are  aimed  at  superior  client  service,  our  strategies  foster  growth  and  our  operational
diversity and organization enhance efficiency and communication. Our attributes bolster a local focus on
service quality and client fulfillment. 

Ultimately, our goal is to produce exceptional growth in earnings and long-term shareholder returns.

We plan on keeping it that way, so our story will remain the same—a chronicle of creating lasting value.

The BOK Financial Corporation Story

Creating Value
Through Diverse Revenue Streams

FFor  BOK  Financial,  value  equals  diversity.  Our  story  is  about  competing  effectively  in  any  economic

environment with the help of diverse sources of non-interest revenue that fuel growth. Our results?

(cid:2) 12.3 percent annual growth over the last five years in fees and commissions from trust, 

mortgage, transaction cards, brokerage and trading, and deposit accounts.

(cid:2) Non-interest revenue accounting for 42 percent of total revenue compared with 34

percent for peer banks.

(cid:2) The potential for greater incremental growth in regional markets where our fee and 

commission generating lines are relatively new.

Armed  with  product  diversity  and  innovation,  our  Trust  Division  contributes  to  this  non-interest
revenue  growth.  In  2004,  overall  Trust  revenue  grew  26  percent–including  16  percent  internal
growth–from first-rate services for retirement and institutional benefits, personal trust, estate planning,
mutual fund advice, corporate trust and trust oil and gas services. In fact, our trust oil and gas services,
which  include  managing  mineral  properties  for  clients  and  overseeing  assets  outsourced  from  other
financial institutions, are considered among the best nationally. Other cutting-edge products and services
garnering national attention include our self-directed 401 (k) plan utilized by some of the nation’s largest
law firms, as well as smaller professional corporations in which principals want the flexibility to personally
select from a broad universe of investment options. In our mutual fund family, the American Performance
Funds, our short-term income fund is among the top performers in its category over the last five-year
period, according to Lipper. In addition to increased revenue from new trust and investment products, we
are benefiting from consolidation of our trust, investment management and affluent market brokerage
sales groups. This provides one point of client contact for our full range of investment services and ensures
the most comprehensive service and personal attention available in any market.

Growth  in  our  Consumer  Division  continues  to  be  fueled  by  our  commitment  to  add  full-service
locations,  utilize  innovative  marketing  approaches  and  constantly  improve  client  service  through  our
Perfect Banking initiative. Our approach has generated:

(cid:2) fee growth of 20 percent in 2004 and 21 percent over five years, based on a 

compound annual growth rate,

(cid:2) 12 percent growth in the number of checking accounts in 2004, and 15 percent 

annually over five years,

(cid:2) overall deposit growth of 15 percent in 2004 and 11 percent annually over 

the five-year period.

The BOK Financial Corporation Story

While the number of our full-service locations has grown seven-fold since our founding, we maintain
a concerted program of finding new expansion opportunities for our branch network in all our markets.
Last  year,  through  new  in-store  and  traditional  branches,  we  added  12  locations  that  appeal  to  clients
appreciative of service with a personal touch. 

At  our  broker-dealer,  we  continue  to  experience  fee  and  commission  growth  through  superior
performance by financial consultants with experience seven times the industry average. The firm offers
retail brokerage and institutional sales, as well as public finance services that rank first in our original
market.  We  have  165  registered  representatives  in  10  states.  But  we  are  about  performance,  not  just
presence. Our broker-dealer has experienced compound annual growth in revenue of 20 percent over the
past five years. Our broker-dealer investment revenue per million dollars of deposits is three times the
industry  average.  To  build  on  our  accomplishments,  we  have  introduced  financial  risk  management
services  that  allow  our  clients  to  hedge  energy,  interest  rate  and  foreign  exchange  risks.  We  have  also
expanded corporate and mortgage-backed securities capabilities.

Our  electronic  funds  transfer  network,  TransFund,  continues  to  experience  revenue  growth—14
percent annually over five years—as an ATM network operator, merchant payment service provider and
check  card  processor.  We  began  with  a  single  ATM  in  1976  and  are  now  the  nation’s  11th  largest  EFT
network, solely created by internal growth. TransFund has:

(cid:2) almost 1,400 ATMs,

(cid:2) 340 financial institution clients in 10 states,

(cid:2) 1.7 million cardholders, and

(cid:2) 149 million debit card transactions a year.

In  Treasury  Services,  we  provide  complete  deposit  services  to  commercial  clients.  Our  mortgage
company  remains  a  valuable  contributor  to  non-interest  revenue,  and  our  International  Department
generates  a  growing  portion  of  fee  income  through  a  broad  range  of  products  and  services.  There  are
substantial non-interest revenue growth opportunities throughout our regional markets where we are still
a relatively recent arrival. In our original market, non-interest revenue was 49 percent of total revenue in
2004. Elsewhere, non-interest revenue represents just 31 percent of the total, but has grown 40 percent
annually over the past five years. We plan to continue building value for our investors as we expand our fee
services into new markets.

Creating Value
In a Growing, Diverse Region

OOur decision in 1996 to expand outside our original market into thriving metropolitan areas in nearby

states  signaled  the  beginning  of  a  new  chapter  in  our  company’s  history.  Since  we  ventured  into
neighboring  states  almost  nine  years  ago,  we  have  been  transformed  into  a  financial  services  company
creating  value  and  strong  returns  for  shareholders  through  the  inherent  diversity  of  our  markets.  As  a
result, we are less vulnerable to local economic downturns.

More than half of BOK Financial’s revenue and profitability growth now comes from regional banks
that provide a relationship-driven alternative for middle market companies, small business owners, trust
clients, investors and consumers weary of impersonal banking. Our banks are making this difference for
our clients and shareholders in some of the nation’s fastest-growing markets with new opportunities for
businesses and rising incomes for residents. U.S. Census estimates and data from Dun & Bradstreet reveal
abundant growth opportunity. For example:

(cid:2) The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is home to almost 5.7 million people and more 

than 240,000 locally based businesses. Included are 39 Fortune 1000 headquarters 
and more than 3,700 middle market companies with revenue from $10 million 
to $750 million.

(cid:2) Greater Houston includes 5 million residents and 191,000 businesses. Middle 
market companies number more than 3,200. The nation’s fourth largest city is 
home to 41 Fortune 1000 headquarters.

(cid:2) The Phoenix area has almost 3.4 million residents and more than 110,000 

locally based businesses. The nation’s sixth largest city and its suburbs include 
more than 1,600 middle market companies and 14 Fortune 1000 headquarters.

(cid:2) More than 2.5 million people live in metro Denver, where employers include more than
100,000 businesses. Among the employers are 1,500 middle market companies and 
15 Fortune 1000 headquarters.

Even small gains in market share are significant in these vibrant markets. For example, a 1 percent
increase in deposit market share in all of Oklahoma represents $443 million in additional deposits.  A 1
percent increase in Houston is more than twice that amount.

Our  formula  for  regional  expansion  is  simple:  We  buy  well-managed  local  banks  to  gain  access  to
attractive  markets.  Then  we  focus  on  increasing  revenue  by  hiring  talent  to  enhance  competitiveness,
adding locations and broadening product offerings. While our operations and administrative functions are
consolidated system-wide, our client service and marketing functions are handled locally by bankers who
know their markets best. We recruit top management with deep roots in the community, proven business
development  and  credit  skills,  and  demonstrated  loyalty  from  clients  and  employees.  We  prize 

6
The BOK Financial Corporation Story

high-quality  franchises  that  we  can  develop  by  introducing  new  products  and  services.  The  planned
addition  this  year  of  Valley  Commerce  Bank,  with  locations  in  Phoenix  and  Scottsdale,  follows  our
expansion in 2003 into Denver with the acquisition of Colorado State Bank and Trust.

While we remain open to attractive opportunities region-wide, our focus is on ensuring the success 
of each acquisition by building a strong local bank that generates new business and long-term value. An
example of our successful approach is Bank of Albuquerque. In December 1998, we acquired 17 branches
that  were  part  of  a  divestiture  from  the  merger  of  two  large  national  banks.  Included  were  consumer-
focused  locations  but  little  management  or  back  office  operations.  From  that  basic  beginning, we 
quickly built the bank into the fastest growing financial institution in the market. To accomplish quality
growth, we:

(cid:2) invested heavily in new talent, recruiting principally from the larger banks in the market,

(cid:2) added commercial lending capabilities, including a solid middle market team,

(cid:2) introduced our full array of fee-based products and services,

(cid:2) included our broad base of consumer offerings, and

(cid:2) launched trust and private financial services.

The results are a study in success. Over the past six years revenue has increased from $25 million to
$58 million, a compound annual growth rate of more than 18 percent. We are now the third largest bank in
the Albuquerque market.

In 2004, our banks outside of Oklahoma accounted for 33 percent, or $58.6 million, of consolidated
net income. Earnings for the regional banks have grown 28 percent annually for the last five years. One of
the factors contributing to this growth is an expanding number of locations.

Bank of Texas marked its 37th location with the opening of a  new full-service location on the west side
of Fort Worth’s central business district in 2004. This is the bank’s first full-service office in the growing
city and a continuation of its expansion across North Texas.

We continue to anticipate growth in the years ahead in regional markets with diverse economies and

new possibilities for us, our clients and our shareholders.

Creating Value
With Quality Loans and Leadership

IIn banking, loans and credit quality are integral to value. Our commitment to be top lenders with sound

credits in a diverse portfolio has helped generate consistent loan growth and a steady increase in net
interest revenue in stable markets. We are committed region-wide to serving middle market and small
business clients through strong local account managers with the flexibility to accommodate clients. We
support our staff with centralized credit oversight that includes a strong commitment to quality loans.
How do we measure our success?

(cid:2) By 9.5 percent compound annual growth rate for loans over the past five years 

compared with 7.0 percent for peer banks,

(cid:2) by 12.9 percent annual revenue growth in corporate banking since 2000, and

(cid:2) by net charge-offs that average 31 basis points over the past five years.

Our entire loan portfolio—$7.9 billion at year-end 2004—is bolstered by quality service for energy
clients, manufacturers and commercial real estate developers, among others. We also allow our clients
to lock in cash flows through our energy hedging program and offer interest rate derivatives that allow
clients to quickly and efficiently change the interest rate characteristics of their debt.

Our  credit  standards,  which  are  applied  consistently  across  the  region,  are  among  the  most 
stable in the industry. Attention to the value and quality of our loan portfolio and prudent management
of our credits has been developed through experiences in the best and worst of economic times.

While  we  have  successfully  applied  our  expertise  regionally,  we  are  not  satisfied  to  rest  on  our
accomplishments in Oklahoma. We are the premier bank in the state, but we continue to build on our
leadership  in  every  segment.  Initially  we  benefited  from  disruptions  created  by  mergers  and
consolidations, but as consolidation slows, our approach continues to generate new growth. 

In 1998, we had 9.8 percent of statewide deposits, which was 3 percentage points higher than our
nearest competitor. Through ongoing growth initiatives, our statewide deposit share has increased to
13.0  percent,  which  is  more  than  twice  the  market  share  of  our  next  largest  competitor.  Industry
statistics show that we are also the leader in commercial and consumer banking, mortgage origination,
trust and ATM/EFT. Our ability to compete against small community banks and large national banks in
Oklahoma gives us confidence we can compete well in our regional markets. It is hard to win on the road
if you cannot win at home. Our growth in Oklahoma, combined with our regional expansion, is a strong
foundation as we strive to constantly add value.

Epilogue:
Value Through a Vision

IIn 2005, we continue to focus on creating value through superior performance for our shareholders. We

plan to add products and services in Phoenix, which abounds with growth prospects among middle market
companies, as well as small businesses served well by Valley Commerce. This planned acquisition includes
a full-service location in the upscale Kierland section of Scottsdale, where we plan to introduce trust and
investment services to affluent clients and market private financial services. 

We  are  also  continuing  our  strategic  approach  to  branch  expansion  with  the  addition  of  eight 
new  locations.  These  include  six  traditional  branches  in  Dallas,  Houston,  Denver,  Albuquerque,
Bentonville and Oklahoma City. We also plan to open new supermarket locations in the Dallas suburb of
Plano and in the Tulsa area.

We continue to aggressively reinvest in new technology, products and services. For example, all our
markets  will  benefit  from  new  offerings  in  Treasury  Services  and  Retirement  &  Institutional  Trust.
Treasury Services is introducing an imaged wholesale lockbox project that gives clients quicker access to
records.  We  are  also  enhancing  fraud  protection,  introducing  additional  check  image  capabilities  and
implementing cutting-edge clearing solutions.

Retirement  &  Institutional  Trust  is  already  reaping  benefits  from  our  new  managed  allocation
portfolios. We are also offering an “Autopilot” 401(k) program for plan sponsors that makes it easy to save
for  retirement  by  automatically  enrolling  eligible  participants,  increasing  participant  deferral
contributions annually and investing and rebalancing plan accounts based on targeted retirement dates.
New offerings also will reduce employers’ workloads through a very successful program developed jointly
by Retirement & Institutional Trust, BOSC and our American Performance Fund family.

These enhancements will contribute to the diversity of our fee and commission generating products
and services. We will also introduce new lending capabilities through the initial thrust of a region-wide
expansion of indirect auto lending and floor plan lending for auto dealers.

And while we continue to develop our revenue base and expand commercial and consumer banking
through internal growth, we will look for new acquisitions to enhance our positions in existing markets
and enter growing metropolitan areas where our products and services can make a difference for clients
seeking relationship banking.

Despite  our  accomplishments  over  the  past  14  years—indeed,  because  of  them—we  will  not 
rest. Through our vision for success, we remain determined to stay on course and care for the long-term
needs of our shareholders by creating value that lasts and keeps on growing, for them, for our clients, our
employees and our communities.

Performance off the court has led to attention on it for Bank
of Texas. A partnership with the Houston Rockets includes a
check card logo of the two-time NBA champion.

BOK Financial’s focus on building long-term value
for investors, clients and communities has produced
results: a $10,000 investment in 1991 was worth
$248,773 at the end of 2004.

Opportunity coupled with quality local
banking and a commitment to value. That’s
how Bank of Albuquerque has emerged as a
formidable competitor against some of the
nation’s largest banks.

Bank of Texas has emerged as a strong financial institution in
greater Houston through internal growth and acquisitions in the
nation’s fourth largest city.

Adding value to the community includes a
commitment to improving the quality of life.
In Houston, Bank of Texas sponsored a
benefit for Houston-area youth sports

Community is an inclusive word at BOK Financial.
In addition to sponsoring multicultural events,
Bank of Albuquerque offers the best service in the
market as a part of an initiative to serve the
Hispanic population.

Bank of Oklahoma’s sponsorship of the Tulsa Run is a part
of an ongoing commitment to add value to the communities
we serve.

A strong community spirit is demonstrated throughout our
markets by outreaches such as a drive that helped collect more
than 17,000 books to improve literacy for children and adults.

commitment to local leadership and community
banking. Mark and his team continue to build on
a reputation as the premier commercial bank in

MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW

BOK Financial Corporation (“BOK Financial” or “the
Company”) is a financial holding company that offers full service
banking in Oklahoma, Northwest Arkansas, Dallas and Houston,
Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico and Denver, Colorado. The
Company was incorporated in 1990 in Oklahoma and is head-
quartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Activities are governed by the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended by the Financial
Services Modernization Act or Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Principal subsidiaries are Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. (“BOk”), Bank
of Albuquerque, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A., Bank of Texas, N.A.
(“BOTX”) and Colorado State Bank and Trust, N.A. (“CSBT”).
Other subsidiaries include BOSC, Inc. a broker/dealer that
engages in retail and institutional securities sales and municipal
bond underwriting.

Our overall strategic objective is to emphasize growth in long-
term value by building on our leadership position in Oklahoma
and expanding into high-growth markets in contiguous states. We
have a solid position in Oklahoma and are the state’s largest finan-
cial institution as measured by deposit market share. Since 1997,
we have expanded into Dallas and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque,
New Mexico, Denver, Colorado, and have recently announced
plans to expand into Phoenix, Arizona.

Our primary focus is to provide a broad range of financial
products and services, including loans and deposits, cash manage-
ment services, fiduciary services, mortgage banking, and broker-
age and trading services to middle-market businesses, financial
institutions, and consumers. Our revenue sources are diversified.
Approximately 42% of our revenue comes from commissions and
fees.

Commercial banking is a significant part of our business. Our
credit culture emphasizes building relationships by making high-
quality loans and providing a full range of financial products and
services to our customers.

Our acquisition strategy targets quality organizations that have
demonstrated solid growth in their business lines. We provide
additional growth opportunities by hiring talent to enhance com-
petitiveness, adding locations, and broadening product offerings.
Our operating philosophy embraces local decision-making
through the boards of directors for each of our bank subsidiaries.

BOK Financial operates five principal lines of business:
Oklahoma corporate banking, Oklahoma consumer banking,
mortgage banking, wealth management, and regional banks.
Mortgage banking activities include loan origination and servicing

across all markets served by the Company. Wealth management
provides brokerage and trading, private financial services and
investment advisory services in all markets. It also provides fidu-
ciary services in all markets except Colorado. Fiduciary services in
Colorado are included in regional banks. Regional banks consist
primarily of corporate and consumer banking activities in the
respective local markets.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE

BOK Financial’s net income for 2004 totaled $179.0 million or
$2.68 per diluted share, compared with $158.4 million or $2.38
per diluted share in 2003 and $147.9 million or $2.30 per
diluted share in 2002. Prior years’ earnings per share have been
restated for a 3% stock dividend in 2004. Returns on average
assets and shareholders’ equity were 1.28% and 13.80%, respec-
tively for 2004, compared with returns of 1.24% and 13.66%,
respectively, for 2003, and 1.31% and 15.75%, respectively, for
2002. The decrease in return on equity between 2003 and 2002
resulted from a 24% increase in average equity due to retained
earnings and a full year’s effect of an acquisition-related stock
issuance during the fourth quarter of 2002.

Growth in net income for 2004 was attributed to two primary
factors, net interest revenue and provision for credit losses. Net
interest revenue grew $31.7 million or 8% during 2004 due to
increases in average loans and securities. The growth in net inter-
est revenue also reflected a one basis point increase in net inter-
est margin for the year. The provision for credit losses decreased
$15.2 million compared to the previous year as credit quality con-
tinued to improve throughout 2004.

Fees  and  commissions  revenue  increased  $6.3  million  or  2%
compared  with  last  year  and  represented  42%  of  total  revenue,
excluding net securities and derivatives losses.    Trust fees,
deposit fees and transaction card revenue grew by a combined
total of $30.9 million. This increased revenue was partially offset
by a $24.1 million decrease in mortgage banking revenue.

Operating expenses increased $27.8 million or 7% compared
with 2003 due primarily to increased personnel and data process-
ing costs. Personnel costs increased $17.7 million, including $8.2
million from CSBT, which was acquired in September 2003.
Additionally, stock-based compensation expense, which is based
largely on the current market value of our common stock,
increased $5.8 million. Data processing expense increased $6.6
million, including $4.6 million directly related to higher transac-
tion card processing volumes.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled $46.6 mil-
lion or 70 cents per diluted share compared with $35.3 million or

14

53 cents per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2003. In addi-
tion to the effects of increased net interest revenue and credit
quality, earnings for the fourth quarter of 2004 included an after-
tax gain of $2.5 million or 4 cents per diluted share from the sale
of equity securities that had been acquired in prior years from
resolution of a problem loan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Preparation of our consolidated financial statements is based
on the selection of certain accounting policies, which requires
management to make significant assumptions and estimates. The
following discussion addresses the most critical areas where these
assumptions and estimates could affect financial condition and
results of operations. Application of these critical accounting
policies and estimates has been discussed with the appropriate
committees of the Board of Directors. No accounting standards
with significant effects on our financial condition or results of
operations were initially adopted in 2004.

Reserves for Loan Losses and Off-Balance Sheet
Credit Losses

Reserves for loan losses and off-balance sheet credit losses are
assessed by management based on an ongoing evaluation of the
probable estimated losses inherent in the portfolio and probable
estimated losses on unused commitments to provide financing. A
consistent, well-documented methodology has been developed
that includes reserves assigned to specific loans and commit-
ments, general reserves that are based on a statistical migration
analysis and nonspecific reserves that are based on analysis of
current economic conditions, loan concentrations, portfolio
growth and other relevant factors.

A Credit Administration department independent  of  lending
management is responsible for performing this evaluation for all
of our subsidiaries to ensure that the methodology is applied
consistently.

All significant loans and commitments that exhibit weaknesses
or deteriorating trends are reviewed at least quarterly. Specific
reserves for impairment are determined through evaluation of
estimated future cash flows and collateral values in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
“Accounting by Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan” and reg-
ulatory accounting standards.

General reserves for commercial and commercial real estate
loan losses, and related commitments, are determined primarily
through an internally developed migration analysis model. The

purpose of this model is to determine the probability that each
credit relationship in the portfolio has an inherent loss based on
historical trends. We use an eight-quarter aggregate accumulation
of net losses as a basis for this model. Greater emphasis is placed
on loan losses in more recent periods. This model assigns a gen-
eral reserve to all commercial loans and leases and commercial
real estate loans, excluding loans that have a specific impairment
reserve.

Separate models are used to determine the general reserve for
residential mortgage loans, excluding residential mortgage loans
held for sale, and consumer loans. The general reserve for resi-
dential mortgage loans is based on an eight-quarter average loss
percentage. General reserves for consumer loans are based on a
migration of loans from current status to loss. Separate migration
factors are determined by major product line, such as indirect
automobile loans and direct consumer loans.

Nonspecific reserves are maintained for risks beyond those
factors specific to a particular loan or those identified by the
migration models. These factors include trends in the general
economy in our primary lending areas, conditions in specific
industries where we have a concentration, such as energy, real
estate and agriculture, and overall growth in the loan portfolio.
Evaluation of the nonspecific reserves also considers duration of
the business cycle, regulatory examination results, potential errors
in the migration analysis models and the underlying data, and
other relevant factors. A range of potential losses is determined
for each factor identified.

Valuation and Amortization of
Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have a significant investment in mortgage servicing rights.
These rights are either purchased from other lenders or retained
from sales of loans we have originated. Mortgage servicing rights
are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized
cost and fair value are stratified by interest rate and loan type. A
valuation allowance is provided when the net amortized cost of any
strata exceeds the calculated fair value.

There is no active market for trading in mortgage servicing
rights. We use a cash flow model to determine fair value. Key
assumptions and estimates including projected prepayment
speeds and assumed servicing costs, earnings on escrow deposits,
ancillary income and discount rates, used by this model are based
on current market sources. A separate third party model is used
to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing
turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults
and other relevant factors. The prepayment model is updated

15

daily for changes in market conditions. At least annually, we
request estimates of fair value from outside sources to corroborate
the results of the valuation model.

ble assets, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Such
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that
the remaining carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The assumptions used in this model are primarily based on
mortgage interest rates. A 50 basis point increase in mortgage
interest rates is expected to increase the fair value of our servicing
rights by $6.3 million. A 50 basis point decrease in mortgage
interest rates is expected to decrease the fair value of our servicing
rights by $10.4 million. Actual changes in fair values may differ
from these expected changes.

Permanent impairment of mortgage servicing rights is evaluat-
ed quarterly. A strata is considered to be permanently impaired if
the fair value does not exceed amortized cost after assuming a 300
basis point increase in mortage interest rates. The amortized cost
of the asset is reduced to the calculated fair value through a charge
against the valuation allowance.

Prepayment assumptions also affect the amortization of mort-
gage servicing rights. Amortization is determined in proportion to
the projected cash flows over the estimated life of each loan serv-
iced. The same third party model that estimates prepayment
speeds for determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights
determines the estimated life of each loan serviced.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which consist primarily of goodwill, core
deposit intangible assets and other acquired intangibles, for each
business unit are evaluated for impairment annually or more fre-
quently if conditions indicate that impairment may have occurred.
The evaluation of possible impairment of intangible assets
involves significant judgment based upon short-term and long-
term projections of future performance.

The fair value of each of our business units is estimated by the
discounted future earnings method. Income growth is projected
over a five-year period for each unit and a terminal value is com-
puted. The projected income stream is converted to current fair
value by using a discount rate that reflects a rate of return required
by a willing buyer.

At December 31, 2004, Bank of Texas had $155 million or 70%
of total goodwill and CSBT had $42 million or 19% of total good-
will. Because of the large concentration of goodwill in these busi-
ness units, the fair value determined by the discounted future
earnings method was corroborated by comparison to the fair value
of publicly traded banks of similar size and characteristics. No
goodwill impairment was indicated by either valuation method.

Intangible assets with finite lives, such as core deposit intangi-

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

We use various types of interest rate derivative instruments as
part of an interest rate risk management program. We also offer
interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange derivative con-
tracts to our customers. All derivative instruments are carried on
the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for exchange-traded
contracts are based on quoted prices. Fair values for over-the-
counter interest rate contracts used to manage our interest rate
risk are provided either by third-party dealers in the contracts or
by quotes provided by independent pricing services.

Interest rate, commodity and foreign exchange contracts used
in our customer hedging programs are valued internally using a
third-party provided pricing model. This model uses market
inputs to estimate fair values. Changes in assumptions used in this
pricing model could significantly affect the reported fair values of
derivative assets and liabilities, though the net effect of these
changes should not significantly affect the Company’s earnings.
Fair values determined by the internal model are corroborated by
comparison against third-party dealer provided values monthly.
ASSESSMENT OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST REVENUE

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue totaled $428.3 million for
2004 compared to $396.7 million for 2003. The increase was due
primarily to a $885 million increase in average earning assets.
The growth in average earning assets included a $355 million
increase in securities and a $543 million increase in loans. This
increase in average earning assets was funded primarily by a $428
million increase in interest-bearing liabilities and a $496 million
increase in demand deposit accounts. Table 2 shows the effects on
net interest revenue of changes in average balances and interest
rates for the various types of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.

Yields on average earning assets and rates paid on average
interest-bearing liabilities both increased slightly during 2004.
The net interest margin, the ratio of tax-equivalent net interest
revenue to average earning assets increased to 3.45% in 2004
compared with 3.44% in 2003. Growth in non-interest bearing
funding sources, primarily demand deposits, increased the net
interest margin eight basis points for the year. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in the spread between yields on aver-
age earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The
narrowed spread decreased the net interest margin by seven basis
points compared with 2003.

1 Changes attributable to both volume and yield/rate are allocated to both volume and yield/rate on an equal basis.

Management regularly models the effects of changes in inter-
est rates on net interest revenue. This modeling indicates that the
Company expects to benefit modestly from rising interest rates
over a one-year forward-looking period. However, other factors
may affect this general expectation. For example, throughout
2004, the spread between rates charged on loans and related
funding sources narrowed due to competitive pressures. The
result was that the loan portfolio's yield increased less than the
increase in market interest rates. Additionally, we have a large
portion of our securities portfolio in mortgage-backed securities.
The yield on these securities is higher than alternative invest-
ments that fit our investment policy. However,  the spread on

mortgage-backed securities compared to other investments nar-
rowed during the year, which resulted in a tax-equivalent yield on
the securities portfolio that was unchanged compared to 2003.

Our overall objective is to manage the Company's balance sheet
to be essentially neutral
to changes in interest rates.
Approximately 73% of our commercial loan portfolio is either
variable rate or fixed rate that will reprice within one year. These
loans are funded primarily by deposit accounts that are either
non-interest-bearing, or that reprice more slowly than the loans.
The result is a balance sheet that is asset sensitive, which means
that assets generally reprice more quickly than liabilities. Among

17

the strategies that we use to achieve a rate-neutral position, we
purchase fixed-rate, mortgage-backed securities and fund them
with short-term borrowings. The average life of these securities is
expected to be approximately 3 years based on a range of interest
rate and prepayment assumptions. The funds borrowed to pur-
chase these securities generally reprice within 90 days. The liabil-
ity-sensitive nature of this strategy provides an offset to the asset-
sensitive characteristics of our loan portfolio.

We also use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate
risk. We have interest rate swaps with a combined notional
amount of $539 million that convert fixed rate liabilities to float-
ing rate based on LIBOR. The purpose of these derivatives, which
generally have been designated as fair value hedges, is to reduce
the asset-sensitive nature of our balance sheet. We also have
interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $100 million that
convert prime-based loans to fixed rate. The purpose of these
derivatives, which have been designated as cash flow hedges, also
is to reduce the asset-sensitive nature of our balance sheet.

The effectiveness of these strategies is reflected in the overall
change in net interest revenue due to changes in interest rates as
shown in Table 2 and in the interest rate sensitivity projections as
shown in the Market Risk section of this report.

Fourth quarter 2004 net interest revenue

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue for the fourth quarter of
2004 totaled $108.1 million, compared to $102.4 million for the
fourth quarter of 2003. The increase was due to growth in average
earning assets, which increased $832 million or 7%. Net interest
margin declined two basis points to 3.38% as rising interest rates
affected funding sources more than earning assets. As previously
noted, the Company expects to benefit modestly from rising inter-
est rates over a forward-looking one-year period. However, the
net interest margin may decrease as rates rise over shorter time

periods. Also, competitive and other factors may affect the
amount of benefit derived from rising rates.

2003 Net interest revenue

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue for 2003 was $396.7 mil-
lion, a $21.2 million or 6% increase from 2002. This increase was
due to growth in average earning assets. As shown in Table 2, net
interest revenue increased $52.1 million due to changes in earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest
revenue due to asset growth was partially offset by a $30.8 million
decrease due to falling yields and rates. Net interest margin for
2003 was 3.44%, down 27 basis points from 3.71% in 2002. This
reduction in net interest margin reflected both a decrease in the
spreads between earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as
interest rates fell and a reduction in the portion of earning assets
funded by non-interest bearing sources.

OTHER OPERATING REVENUE

Other operating revenue increased $4.0 million compared
with last year due to a $6.3 million increase in fees and commis-
sion revenue, partially offset by an increase in net losses on secu-
rities and derivatives. Diversified sources of fees and commission
revenue are a significant part of our business strategy and repre-
sented 42% of total revenue, excluding gains and losses on secu-
rities and derivatives. A diversified source  of fee revenues can
provide an offset to adverse changes in interest rates, values in
the equity markets, commodity prices and consumer spending, all
of which can be volatile. We expect continued growth in other
operating revenue through offering new products and services and
by expanding into new markets. However, increased competition
and saturation in our existing markets could affect the rate of
future increases.

Fees and Commissions Revenue

Brokerage and trading revenue was slightly reduced compared
with 2003. Revenue from securities trading activities declined
$5.2 million, or 18%. The dollar volume and number of transac-
tions processed both increased. However, the mix of products
sold shifted to lower-margin securities compared to the previous
year. The decrease in securities trading revenue was partially off-
set by a $3.8 million increase in customer hedging revenue.
Volatility in the energy markets during 2004 prompted our ener-
gy customers to more actively hedge their gas and oil production.

Transaction card revenue increased $7.5 million or 13% due to
growth in merchant discount fees, ATM fees and check card rev-
enue. Revenue growth from each of these activities was due to
growth in transaction volume. During 2004, one of our cus-
tomers was acquired by another financial institution, which
reduced the number of ATMs serviced by TransFund. This will
reduce our short-term revenue growth from TransFund.

Trust fees increased $11.8 million or 26%, including a $4.9
million increase from the CSBT acquisition. The fair value of all
trust relationships managed by the Company, which is the basis
for a significant portion of trust fees increased to $24.6 billion at
December 31, 2004 compared with $21.3 billion at December 31,
2003.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $11.7 million, or
14% compared with 2003. Approximately $11.3 million of this
increase was due to growth in overdraft fees. Account service
charge revenue increased 2% in 2004 after growing by 10% in the
previous year. The lower growth rate reflected the change in earn-
ings credit available to commercial deposit customers as interest
rates rose.

Mortgage banking revenue, which is discussed more fully in
the Line of Business - Mortgage Banking section of this report
decreased $24.1 million, or 46% compared with 2003. Much of
the mortgage banking revenue in 2003 was generated by refinanc-
ing activity. Loan refinancing was significantly reduced in 2004
due to rising mortgage interest rates.

Securities and Derivatives

BOK Financial realized net losses on securities of $3.1 million
in 2004 compared to net gains of $7.2 million last year. These
amounts included net losses on securities held as economic
hedges of the mortgage servicing rights of $4.9 million in 2004,
compared with net gains on hedge securities of $4.0 million in
2003. The Company’s use of securities as an economic hedge of
mortgage servicing rights is more-fully discussed in the Line of
Business - Mortgage Banking section of this report.

19

Net gains of $1.8 million were realized during 2004 on sales of
securities, excluding the mortgage servicing hedge. This is com-
pared with net gains of $3.2 million realized in 2003. The
Company buys and sells securities as necessary to maximize the
portfolio’s total return and to manage prepayment or extension
risk.

During 2004, the Company recognized net losses of $1.3 mil-
lion on derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and $208
thousand on derivatives used as an economic hedge of mortgage
servicing rights. These losses are compared with net losses of $9.4
million in 2003. As more fully discussed in the Deposits and
Borrowings and Capital sections of this report, the Company des-
ignated derivatives as fair value hedges of certain brokered certifi-
cates of deposit and subordinated debt in 2004. Net losses recog-
nized included fair value adjustments for both the derivatives and
the hedged liabilities. No derivatives were designated as fair value
hedges in 2003.

Fourth quarter 2004 operating revenue

Other operating revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled
$78.7 million, including net fees and commission revenue of $77.9
million and net gains on securities and derivatives of $793 thou-
sand. Fees and commission revenue totaled $74.6 million and net
losses on securities and derivatives totaled $3.2 million for the
fourth quarter of 2003. Trust fees rose 14% to $14.8 million due
to growth in the fair value of trust assets. Transaction card revenue
increased 10% to $16.6 million due to growth in processing vol-
umes. Growth in deposit fees totaled $991 thousand or 4%.
Mortgage banking revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 16% due to
reductions in both mortgage loan production and servicing
revenue.

Net gains on securities sold during the fourth quarter of 2004
totaled $967 thousand, including net gains of $871 thousand on
securities designated as economic hedges of the mortgage servic-
ing portfolio. These results compare with net losses on securities
sold during the fourth quarter of 2003 of $951 thousand, including
$757 thousand of losses on securities used to hedge mortgage
servicing rights.

Mark-to-market losses on derivative contracts totaled $174
thousand in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared with net losses
of $2.3 million in 2003. Net losses on derivatives in the fourth
quarter of 2004 included the mark-to-market adjustments of
hedged liabilities.

2003 Other operating revenue

Operating revenue totaled $304.9 million in 2003, down $17.8
million, or 6% from 2002. Fees and commissions revenue
increased $48.7 million, or 19% due to growth in all revenue
components.

Brokerage and trading revenue was $41.2 million for 2003,
compared with $26.3 million for the previous year. During the
past several years we have increased the number of sales staff to
take advantage of current market opportunities. These opportuni-
ties included transactions with mortgage lenders that want to
hedge the economic risks of their loan production. Deposit fees
increased $14.4 million or 21% due to growth in overdraft fees.
Transaction card revenue grew $5.1 million or 10%. Check card
fees and merchant fees increased 19% and 15%, respectively,
while ATM network revenue increased 3%. Trust revenue and
mortgage banking revenue, which are discussed more fully in the
Lines of Business section of this report, increased $5.7 million or
14% and $3.4 million or 7%, respectively.

Net gains on securities sold during 2003 totaled $7.2 million,
compared with net gains of $58.7 million in 2002. These amounts
included net gains on sales of securities held as economic hedges
of mortgage servicing rights of $4.0 million in 2003 and $26.3
million in 2002. The decrease in net gains on securities reflected
current market interest rates over 2003 and 2002. While securi-
ties were sold during 2003 to manage the portfolio’s duration,
consistently low interest rates presented fewer opportunities to
recognize gains.

Derivative instruments, which we used primarily to manage
interest rate risk, resulted in mark-to-market losses of $9.4 mil-
lion in 2003 compared to gains of $5.2 million in 2002. We
had not designated these derivatives as hedges for accounting
purposes.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE

Other operating expense for 2004 totaled $441.2 million, a 7%
increase from 2003. This increase resulted primarily from per-
sonnel and data processing expenses. Growth in personnel
expenses were driven largely by the CSBT acquisition and stock-
based compensation costs. The increase in data processing
expenses included both transaction volume and system mainte-
nance costs.

Personnel Expense

Data Processing and Communications Expense

Data processing and communication expenses increased $6.6
million, or 12% compared to 2003. This expense consists of two
broad categories, data processing systems and transaction card
processing. Transaction card processing costs increased $4.6 mil-
lion or 25% due to growth in processing volumes. Data process-
ing systems costs increased $2.0 million, or 6% due primarily to
increased maintenance costs.

Other Operating Expenses

BOK Financial contributed appreciated securities to the BOk
Charitable Foundation during 2004. The Foundation supports
communities in the markets served by the Company. The cost-
basis in these securities of $5.6 million was charged to operating
expense. The after-tax cost of these contributions reduced net
income by $1.1 million, or 2 cents per diluted share.

Business promotion expense increased $2.7 million or 21%
compared with last year. Promotional activities in support of con-
sumer banking initiatives accounted for $1.5 million of the
increase. Much of the growth in promotional expenses was target-
ed at demand deposit growth through our consumer banking net-
work during 2004.

Personnel expense increased $17.7 million or 8% to $240.7
million. Regular compensation expense totaled $146.7 million, an
$8.0 million, or 6% increase over 2003. The increase in regular
compensation expense was due to a 5% increase in average regu-
lar compensation per full-time equivalent employee and a 1%
increase in average staffing. The CSBT acquisition increased reg-
ular compensation expense by $5.0 million and the average num-
ber of full-time equivalent employees by 80.

is

recognized as

Incentive compensation increased $8.6 million, or 19% to
$54.4 million. Stock-based compensation expense increased $5.9
million or 102%. Much of this expense is related to stock-based
compensation that
awards.
Compensation expense for these awards is based on the excess of
the fair value of BOK Financial common stock over a set exercise
price. Incentive compensation expense for these awards will vary
directly with changes in the fair value of BOKF’s common stock.
Expense for other incentive compensation plans increased $2.7
million, or 7% primarily due to revenue growth.

liability

Employee benefit expenses increased $1.9 million, or 5% to
$37.8 million. Retirement benefit costs, including pension and
employee thrift plans, increased $1.4 million, or 15%. Employee
insurance costs, which includes medical costs increased $656
thousand, or 5%.

21

Net gains from the sale of repossessed assets totaled $4.0 mil-
lion in 2004, compared to net losses of $271 thousand in 2003.
Gains in 2004 included $3.8 million from the sale of stock. This
stock had been acquired several years ago as partial proceeds of
the resolution of a troubled loan.

Mortgage banking expenses, including provision for impair-
ment of mortgage servicing rights decreased $773 thousand, or
4%. These expenses are discussed more fully in the Line of
Business - Mortgage Banking section of this report.

Fourth quarter 2004 Other operating expenses

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled
$111.6 million, including the previously noted $3.8 million gain on
the resolution of repossessed assets and $1.4 million of the contri-
bution of appreciated securities to the BOk Charitable Foundation.
Excluding these two items, operating expenses for the fourth
quarter of 2004 totaled $114.0 million, a $4.8 million or 4%
increase from the fourth quarter of 2003. Personnel costs
increased $3.5 million or 6%. The increase in personnel expense
was due primarily to a $3.2 million increase in stock-based com-
pensation expense.

2003 Other operating expenses

Operating expenses for 2003 totaled $413.4 million, a 4%
decrease from 2002. This decrease resulted from the provision
for impairment of mortgage servicing rights. The mortgage serv-
icing rights provision shifted from a $45.9 million expense in
2002 to a $22.9 million recovery in 2003 due to slower prepay-
ment speeds. Excluding the effects of the provision for mortgage
servicing rights, operating expenses increased $52.7 million,
or 14%.

Personnel expenses increased $35.5 million, or 19%. Growth
in personnel expenses included a 10% increase in regular com-

pensation due to a 6% increase in average compensation per full-
time equivalent employee combined with a 4% increase in
staffing. Incentive compensation, which varies directly with rev-
enue, increased 45% to $45.8 million. Employee benefit expens-
es increased 27% to $35.9 million due primarily to a 49% increase
in medical and insurance costs and a 21% increase in employee
retirement expenses. Several actions were taken during the fourth
quarter of 2003 that were intended to reduce future growth in per-
sonnel expenses, including a 5% reduction in staffing.

Professional fees increased $4.9 million or 38% compared to
2002. This increase was due primarily to a $2.5 million increase
in consulting fees associated with deposit fee programs. This con-
sulting engagement ended in 2003. The increased data process-
ing and communications expense of $7.5 million, or 16% includ-
ed $4.9 million of expenses associated with the conversion of our
primary data processing systems which occurred in the fourth
quarter 0f 2003.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $91.4 million for 2004, compared
with $88.9 million for 2003 and $80.8 million in 2002. This rep-
resented 34%, 36% and 35% respectively, of book taxable
income. Tax expense currently payable totaled $91.3 million in
2004 compared with $82.6 million in 2003 and $95.9 million
in 2002.

Income tax expense for 2004 was reduced by $3.0 million due
to the favorable resolution of state income tax issues and by $2.4
million from the contribution of appreciated securities to the BOk
Charitable Foundation. Excluding these items, income tax
expense would have been $96.9 million, or 36% of book taxable
income.

LINES OF BUSINESS

BOK Financial operates five principal lines of business:
Oklahoma corporate banking, Oklahoma consumer banking,
mortgage banking, wealth management, and regional banking.
Mortgage banking activities include loan origination and servic-
ing across all markets served by the Company. Wealth manage-
ment provides brokerage and trading, private financial services
and investment advisory services in all markets. It also provides
fiduciary services in all markets except Colorado. Fiduciary serv-
ices in Colorado are included in regional banking. Regional
banking consists primarily of corporate and consumer banking
activities in the respective local markets. In addition to its lines
of business, BOK Financial has a funds management unit. The
primary purpose of this unit is to manage the overall liquidity
needs and interest rate risk of the Company. Each line of busi-
ness borrows funds from and provides funds to the funds man-
agement unit as needed to support their operations.

BOK Financial allocates resources and evaluates performance
of its lines of business after allocation of funds, certain indirect
expenses, taxes and capital costs. The cost of funds borrowed from
the funds management unit by the operating lines of business is
transfer priced at rates that approximate market for funds with
similar duration. Market is generally based on the applicable
LIBOR or interest rate swap rates, adjusted for prepayment risk.
This method of transfer-pricing funds that support assets of the
operating lines of business tends to insulate them from interest
rate risk.

The value of funds provided by the operating lines of business
to the funds management unit is based on applicable Federal
Home Loan Bank advance rates. Deposit accounts with indeter-
minate maturities, such as demand deposit accounts and interest-
bearing transaction accounts, are transfer-priced at a rolling aver-
age based on expected duration of the accounts. The expected
duration ranges from 90 days for certain rate-sensitive deposits to
five years.

Economic capital is assigned to the business units by a third-
party developed capital allocation model that reflects manage-
ment’s assessment of risk. This model assigns capital based upon
credit, operating, interest rate and market risk inherent in our
business lines and recognizes the diversification benefits among
the units. The level of assigned economic capital is a combination
of the risk taken by each business line, based on its actual expo-
sures and calibrated to its own loss history where possible.
Additional capital is assigned to the regional banking line of busi-
ness based on our investment in those entities.

As shown in Table 6, the Oklahoma  Corporate Banking seg-
ment has continued to be a stable source of earnings. Regional
banking has increased its contribution to consolidated net
income, especially in 2004. The growth of the regional banking
segment is consistent with our corporate strategy of expansion
into high growth markets outside of Oklahoma. The relationship
between Mortgage Banking segment net income and consolidated
net income returned to more historical levels after providing sub-
stantial earnings during the 2003 mortgage refinancing boom.

The variances in contribution to consolidated net income pro-
vided by funds management and other primarily reflect securities
and derivatives gains and losses and the consolidated provision for
credit losses over actual losses charged to the operating segments.
Securities and derivatives activities attributable to funds manage-
ment and other were net gains of $5.0 million in 2004, net losses
of $6.7 million in 2003, and net gains of $33.3 million in 2002.
The provision for credit losses attributable to funds management
and other was $14.7 million in 2004, $24.3 million in 2003, and
$22.0 million in 2002.

Oklahoma Corporate Banking

The Oklahoma Corporate Banking Division provides loan
and lease financing and treasury and cash management servic-
es to businesses throughout Oklahoma and certain relation-
ships in surrounding states.
In addition to serving the bank-
ing needs of small businesses, middle market and larger cus-
tomers, the Oklahoma Corporate Banking Division has spe-
cialized groups that serve customers in the energy, agriculture,
healthcare and banking/finance industries, and includes the
The Oklahoma Corporate Banking
TransFund network.
Division contributed $62.3 million or 35% to consolidated net
income for 2004. This compares to $58.3 million or 37% of
consolidated net income for 2003. Growth in net income
provided by the Oklahoma Corporate Banking Division came
primarily from net interest revenue. Net interest revenue
increased due to loan growth.

Mortgage Banking

BOK Financial engages in mortgage banking activities through
the BOk Mortgage Division of Bank of Oklahoma. These activities
include the origination, marketing and servicing of conventional
and government-sponsored mortgage loans. Consolidated mort-
gage banking revenue, which is included in other operating rev-
enue, decreased $24.1 million or 46% compared with 2003.
Mortgage banking activities contributed $2.7 million or 1% to con-
solidated net income in 2004 compared to $28.4 million or 18% in
2003. Rising mortgage interest rates during late 2003 and the first
half of 2004 significantly decreased refinancing activity and loan
production income.

Mortgage banking activities consisted of two sectors, loan pro-
duction and loan servicing. The loan production sector generally
performs best when mortgage rates are relatively low and loan
origination volumes are high. Conversely, the loan servicing sec-
tor generally performs best when mortgage rates are relatively
high and prepayments are low.

Operating expenses increased to $97.8 million for 2004 from
$85.4 million for last year. This increase was due primarily to
incentive compensation and transaction processing costs. Net
loans charged off for the Oklahoma Corporate Banking Division
totaled $9.0 million, a $1.4 million decrease from 2003.
Average assets increased $503 million or 12% for 2004 due pri-
marily to loan growth.

Oklahoma Consumer Banking

The Oklahoma Consumer Banking Division provides a full line
of deposit, loan and fee-based services to customers throughout
Oklahoma through four major distribution channels:
traditional
branches, supermarket branches, the 24-hour ExpressBank call
center and the Internet. Additionally, the division is a significant
referral source for the Bank of Oklahoma Mortgage Division
(“BOk Mortgage”) and BOSC’s retail brokerage division. The
Oklahoma Consumer Banking Division contributed $12.1 million
or 7% to consolidated net income for 2004. This compares to
$9.2 million or 6% of consolidated net income for 2003. Other
operating revenue growth from 2004 resulted largely from over-
draft fees.

During 2004, the Oklahoma Consumer Banking Division
added four new supermarket locations and completed a five-year
strategic branch expansion plan. Growth initiatives focused on
building customer relationships through sales promotions, Perfect

Loan Production Sector

Loan production revenue totaled $20.9 million in 2004, includ-
ing $11.4 million of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, compared
to loan production revenue of $33.8 million in 2003, including
$23.9 million of capitalized mortgage servicing rights. The decrease
in loan production revenue was due to decreased production vol-
ume. Mortgage loans funded totaled $633 million in 2004, includ-
ing $416 million for home purchases and $217 million of refi-
nanced loans. Mortgage loans funded in 2003 totaled $1.3 billion,
including $457 million for home purchases and $859 million of
refinanced loans. Approximately 71% of the loans funded during
2004 were in Oklahoma. The decreased volume of loans funded
during 2004 resulted in pre-tax income from loan production of
$6.7 million for 2004 compared with $32.0 million for the previous
year end. The pipeline of mortgage loan applications totaled $189
million at December 31, 2004, compared to  $208 million at
December 31, 2003.

Loan Servicing Sector

The loan servicing sector had a pre-tax loss of $4.3 million for
2004 compared to a pre-tax income of $12.9 million for the same
period of 2003. The comparison of operating results between the

26

years was greatly affected by the effect of interest rates on prepay-
ment speeds and the value of mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage
interest rates were consistently low during 2004.
In this rate
environment, the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights was
little-changed. The resulting recovery of provision for mortgage
servicing rights was $1.6 million. In comparison, mortgage inter-
est rates during 2003 were rising from historic lows. In that rate
environment, the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights
increased significantly. The increase in fair value resulted in a
$22.9 million recovery of provision for mortgage servicing rights.

Servicing revenue totaled $17.8 million in 2004 compared to
$21.8 million in 2003. The decrease in servicing revenue was due
primarily to a lower outstanding principal balance of loans serv-
iced. The average outstanding balance of loans serviced was $4.2
billion during 2004 compared to $4.9 billion during 2003. The
decrease in loans serviced reflected both the continued refinanc-
ing of mortgage loans and our decision to curtail purchases of
mortgage loan servicing. This decision also affected the geograph-
ic distribution of the loan servicing portfolio. Approximately 80%
of loans serviced were in our primary market areas at December
31, 2004, compared to 72% at December 31, 2003.

Amortization of mortgage servicing rights, which is included in
operating expense, was $15.8 million in 2004 compared to $35.6
million in 2003. Amortization expense is determined in propor-
tion to the estimated future cash flows that will be generated by the
mortgage servicing rights. The reduction in amortization expense
in 2004 reflected an expectation of lower loan prepayment speeds.

The valuation allowance for impairment of mortgage servicing
rights totaled $14 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $32
million at December 31, 2003. The valuation allowance was
reduced by $17 million from the charge-off of servicing rights
determined to be permanently impaired. As discussed in the
Critical Accounting Policies section of this report, servicing rights
are considered to be permanently impaired if the fair value does
not exceed amortized costs after assuming a 300 basis point
increase in mortgage interest rates. Note 8 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements presents additional information about the
fair value and amortized cost of servicing rights and valuation
allowance.

BOK Financial designates a portion of its securities portfolio as
an economic hedge against the risk of loss on its mortgage servic-
ing rights. Mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government
agency debentures are acquired and held as available for sale when

prepayment risks exceed certain levels. Additionally, interest
rate derivative contracts may also be designated as an economic
hedge of the risk of loss on mortgage servicing rights. Because
the fair values of these instruments are expected to vary inverse-
ly to the fair value of the servicing rights, they are expected to
partially offset risk. However, no special hedge accounting treat-
ment is applicable to either the mortgage servicing rights or the
financial instruments designated as an economic hedge. We may
sell these securities when necessary to offset the impairment
provision of the mortgage servicing rights. Derivative contracts
used as an economic hedge of mortgage servicing rights are car-
ried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earn-
ings. During 2004, we recognized losses of $5.1 million from
hedging activities compared to gains of $4.0 million in 2003.

This hedging strategy presents certain risks. A well-devel-
oped market determines the fair value for the securities and
derivatives. However, there is no comparable market for mort-
gage servicing rights. Therefore, the computed change in value
of the servicing rights for a specified change in interest rates may
not correlate to the change in value of the securities.

At December 31, 2004, financial instruments with a fair value
of $78 million and an unrealized gain of $523 thousand were held
for the economic hedge program. This unrealized gain, net of
income taxes, is included in shareholders’ equity as part of other
comprehensive income. The interest rate sensitivity of the mort-
gage servicing rights and securities held as an economic hedge is
modeled over a range of +/- 50 basis points. At December 31,
2004, the pre-tax results of this modeling on reported earnings
were:

Wealth Management

BOK Financial provides a wide range of financial services
through its wealth management line of business, including trust
and private financial services, and brokerage and trading activities.
This line of business includes the activities of BOSC, Inc., a regis-
tered broker / dealer. Trust and private financial services includes
sales of institutional, investment and retirement products, loans
and other services to affluent individuals, businesses, not-for-
profit organizations, and governmental agencies. Trust services are
provided primarily to clients throughout Oklahoma, Texas,
Arkansas and New Mexico. Additionally, trust services include a
nationally competitive, self-directed 401-(k) program and admin-
istrative and advisory services to the American Performance family
of mutual funds. Brokerage and trading activities within the wealth
management line of business consists of retail sales of mutual
funds, securities and annuities, institutional sales of securities
and derivatives, bond underwriting and other financial advisory
services.

Wealth management contributed $12.4 million or 7% to consol-
idated net income for 2004. This compared to $13.3 million or 8%
of consolidated net income for 2003.

Trust and private financial services provided $10.7 million of
net income in 2004, a 40% increase over 2003. At December 31,
2004 and 2003, the wealth management line of business was
responsible for trust assets with aggregate market values of $22.6
billion and $19.5 billion, respectively, under various fiduciary
arrangements. The growth in trust assets reflected increased mar-
ket value of assets managed in addition to new business generated
during the year. We have sole or joint discretionary authority over
$8.2 billion of trust assets at December 31, 2004 compared to $8.1
billion of trust assets at December 31, 2003. Growth in the fair
value of trust assets came primarily in non-managed assets, which
increased by $1.5 billion, or 20%, and custodial assets which
increased by $1.5 billion, or 41%.

Regional Banking

Regional banking consists primarily of the corporate and com-
mercial banking services provided by Bank of Texas, Bank of
Albuquerque, Bank of Arkansas, and Colorado State Bank and Trust
in their respective markets. It also includes fiduciary services pro-
vided by Colorado State Bank and Trust. Small businesses and mid-
dle-market corporations are the regional banks’ primary customer
focus. Regional banks contributed $58.6 million or 33% to consol-
idated net income during 2004. This compares with $42.5 million
or 27% of consolidated net income in 2003. Growth in net income
contributed by the regional banks came primarily from operations
in Texas and New Mexico. Net income for 2004 in Texas and New
Mexico increased $12.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively, from
the previous year.

Growth in net income from Texas operations resulted from an
increase in net interest revenue, combined with a reduction in oper-
ating expenses. Average earning assets increased $278 million,
including $98 million of loans and $180 million of funds sold to the
funds management unit. The growth in average earning assets was
funded by a $165 million increase in interest-bearing deposits and a
$101 million increase in demand deposits. Personnel expenses
decreased $1.2 million due to lower regular and incentive compensa-
tion costs.

Bank of Texas shared some of the Consumer Banking Division’s
initiatives during 2004. Seven new supermarket branches were
added in Texas. The Perfect Banking sales and service program
which had been adopted in Oklahoma in 2003 was launched in Texas
in 2004. This program resulted in a 65% increase in sales points,
one of the measures we use to track branch performance.

The increase in net income from New Mexico operations was also
based largely on an increase in net interest revenue, combined with
an increase in operating revenue. Average earning assets increased
$102 million, including $44 million of loans and $61 million of
funds sold to the funds management unit. This growth in average
earning assets was partially offset by a reduction in securities.
Average deposits in the New Mexico market increased $102 million,
including $74 million of interest-bearing deposits and $28 million
of demand deposits. The increase in operating revenue was due pri-
marily to growth in deposit fees.

Brokerage and trading activities provided $1.7 million of net
income in 2004 compared to $5.7 million in the previous year.
Operating revenue decreased $6.5 million or 14% due to reduc-
tion in trading revenue and financial advisory fees. The reduction
in trading revenue resulted from a shift in the mix of products sold
to lower-margin securities during 2004. This decrease in trading
revenue was partially offset by fees generated by customer hedging
activities.

ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
SECURITIES

Securities are classified as either held for investment or avail-
able for sale based upon asset/liability management strategies, liq-
uidity and profitability objectives and regulatory requirements.
Investment securities, which consist primarily of Oklahoma
municipal bonds, are carried at cost and adjusted for amortization
of premiums or accretion of discounts. Management has the abil-
ity and intent to hold these securities until they mature. Available
for sale securities, which may be sold prior to maturity, are carried
at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses, less deferred taxes, are
recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in share-
holders’ equity.

The amortized cost of available for sale securities at December

31, 2004 increased $104 million compared with the previous
year-end. Mortgage-backed securities increased $132 million

and represented 97% of total available for sale securities. The
increase in securities reflected an increase in available funds
due to strong deposit growth during 2004. As previously dis-
cussed in the Net Interest Revenue section of this report, we
hold mortgage-backed securities as part of our overall interest
rate risk management strategy.

The primary risk of holding mortgage-backed securities
comes from extension during periods of rising interest rates or
prepayment during periods of falling interest rates. We evaluate
this risk through extensive modeling both before making an
investment and throughout the life of the security. The expect-
ed duration of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was 3.3
years at December 31, 2004 compared to 3.0 years at December
31, 2003. This increase in duration reflected the slower antici-
pated prepayments of the loans represented by these securities
as interest rates rose.

Net unrealized losses on available for sale securities totaled
$16 million at December 31, 2004 compared with net unrealized
gains of $14 million at December 31, 2003 due primarily to ris-
ing interest rates. The aggregate gross amount of unrealized
losses at December 31, 2004 totaled $32 million. Management
evaluated the securities with unrealized losses to determine if we
believed that the losses were temporary. This evaluation con-
sidered factors such as causes of the unrealized losses and
prospects for recovery over various interest rate scenarios and
time periods. We also considered our intent and ability to hold
the securities until the fair values exceed amortized cost. It is our
belief, based on currently available information and our evalua-
tion,
the unrealized losses in these securities were
that
temporary.

LOANS

The aggregate loan portfolio at December 31, 2004 totaled $7.9

billion, a $445 million or 6% increase since last year.

The commercial loan portfolio increased $239 million during

2004. Much of this increase was focused in the services portion of
the portfolio, which increased $231 million. Services comprised
20% of the total loan portfolio and included $281 million of loans
to nursing homes, $143 million of loans to medical facilities, and
$30 million to the hotel industry. Energy loans totaled $1.2 billion
or 15% of total loans. Outstanding energy loans decreased $8 mil-
lion during 2004. High energy prices provided cash flow to the
industry which reduced outstanding loan balances during the first
half of the year. Outstanding energy loan balances increased $143
million during the second half of the year. Approximately $985
million was to oil and gas producers. The amount of credit avail-
able to these customers generally depends on the value of their
proven energy reserves based on current prices. The energy cate-
gory also included loans to borrowers involved in the transporta-
tion and sale of oil and gas and to borrowers that manufacture
equipment or provide other services to the energy industry.

Agriculture included $217 million of loans to the cattle indus-
try. Other notable loan concentrations by primary industry of the
borrowers are presented in Table 17.

BOK Financial participates in shared national credits when
appropriate to obtain or maintain business relationships with
local customers. Shared national credits are defined by banking
regulators as credits of more than $20 million and with three or
more non-affiliated banks as participants. At December 31, 2004,
the outstanding principal balance of these loans totaled $729 mil-
lion, including $726 million to borrowers with local market rela-
tionships. BOK Financial is the agent lender in approximately
37% of these loans. The Company’s lending policies generally
avoid loans in which we do not have the opportunity to maintain or
achieve other business relationships with the customer.

Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.6 billion or 20% of the
loan portfolio at December 31, 2004. The outstanding balance of
commercial real estate loans decreased $9 million from the previ-
ous year end. Construction and land development included $349
million for single family residential lots and premises, up $69
million, or 25% since December 31, 2003. This growth resulted
from expanded builder loans, primarily in New Mexico and
Arizona. The major components of other commercial real estate

loans were retail facilities - $312 million and office buildings $343
million. Commercial real estate loans secured by office buildings
increased $53 million during the past year.

Residential mortgage loans, excluding loans held for sale,
included $352 million of home equity loans, $304 million of loans
held for business relationship purposes, $237 million of adjustable
rate mortgages and $279 million of loans held for community
development. Community development loans increased $177 mil-
lion during 2004 as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to more
directly serve its local communities. Consumer loans included
$234 million of indirect automobile loans. Substantially all of
these loans were purchased from dealers in Oklahoma.

While the Company continued to increase geographic diversi-
fication through expansion into Texas, New Mexico and Colorado,
geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the gener-
al economic conditions in Oklahoma. Table 19 presents the dis-
tribution of the major loan categories among our primary market
areas.

Derivatives with Credit Risk

BOK Financial offers programs that permit its customers to
hedge various risks. Much of the focus of these programs had been
on assisting energy producing customers to hedge against price
fluctuations and to take positions through energy derivative con-
tracts. Programs to assist customers in managing their interest
rate, foreign exchange and other commodity risks were added
during 2003. Each of these programs work essentially the same
way. Derivative contracts are executed between the customers and
BOk. Offsetting contracts are executed between BOk and selected
counterparties to minimize the risk to BOk of changes in com-
modity prices, interest rates, or foreign exchange rates. The coun-
terparty contracts are identical to the customer contracts, except
for a fixed pricing spread or a fee paid to BOk as compensation for
administrative costs, credit risk and profit.

These programs create credit risk for potential amounts due to
BOk from its customers and from the counterparties. Customer
credit risk is monitored through existing credit policies and pro-
cedures. The effects of changes in commodity prices, interest
rates or foreign exchange rates are evaluated across a range of pos-
sible options to determine the maximum exposure we are willing
to have individually to any customer. Customers may also be
required to provide margin collateral to further limit our credit
risk.

Counterparty credit risk is evaluated through existing policies
and procedures. This evaluation considers the total relationship
between BOK Financial and each counterparty. Individual limits
are established by management and approved by the Asset /
Liability Committee. Margin collateral is required if the exposure
to any counterparty exceeds established limits.  Based on declines
in the counterparties’ credit rating, these limits are reduced and
additional margin collateral is required.

A deterioration of the credit standing of one or more of the
parties to these contracts may result in BOK Financial recognizing
a loss as the fair value of the affected contracts may no longer move
in tandem with the offsetting contracts. This could occur if the
credit standing of the party deteriorated such that either the fair
value of underlying collateral no longer supported the contract or
the party’s ability to provide margin collateral was impaired. No
credit losses have been incurred since inception of this
program.

Derivative contracts are carried at fair value. At December 31,
2004, the fair values of derivative contracts reported as assets
under these programs totaled $379 million. This included energy
contracts with fair values of $363 million, interest rate contracts
with fair values of $4 million, and foreign exchange contracts with
fair values of $11 million. The aggregate fair values of derivative
contracts
totaled $380 million.
liabilities
Approximately 58% of the values of asset contracts was with cus-
tomers. The credit risk of these contracts is generally backed by
energy production. The remaining 42% was with counterparties.
The maximum net exposure to any single customer or counterpar-
ty totaled $41 million.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

The reserve for loan losses, which is available to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio, totaled $109 million at December
31, 2004 compared to $115 million at December 31, 2003. These
amounts represented 1.38% and 1.55% of outstanding loans,
excluding loans held for sale, at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Losses on loans held for sale, principally mortgage
loans accumulated for placement into security pools, are charged
to earnings through adjustment in the carrying value. The reserve
for loan losses also represented 206% of outstanding balance of
nonperforming loans at year-end 2004 compared to 218% at
year-end 2003. Net loans charged off during 2004 decreased to
$22 million in 2004 compared to $25 million in the previous year.
Net commercial loans charged-off during 2004 totaled $12 mil-
lion, a $3.8 million decrease from 2003. Table 21 provides statis-
tical information regarding the reserve for loan losses for the past
five years.

The Company has historically considered the credit risk from
loan commitments and letters of credit in its evaluation of the
adequacy of the reserve for loan losses. During 2004, we adopted
the preferred presentation method and separated the reserve for
off-balance sheet credit risk from the reserve for loan losses.
Table 21 presents the trend of reserves for off-balance sheet cred-
it losses and the relationship between the reserve and credit com-
mitments. It also presents the relationship between the combined
reserve for credit losses and outstanding loans for comparison
with peer banks and others who have not adopted the preferred
presentation. The provision for credit losses included the com-
bined charge to expense for both the reserve for loan losses and
the reserve for off-balance sheet credit losses. All losses incurred
from lending activities will ultimately be reflected in charge-offs
against the reserve for loan losses following funds advanced
against outstanding commitments and after the exhaustion of col-
lection efforts.

Specific impairment reserves are determined through evalua-
tion of estimated future cash flows and collateral value. At
December 31, 2004, specific impairment reserves totaled $7 mil-
lion on total impaired loans of $45 million.

TABLE 22 LOAN LOSS RESERVE ALLOCATION

(Dollars in Thousands)

Nonspecific reserves are maintained for risks beyond factors
specific to an individual loan or those identified through migra-
tion analysis. A range of potential losses is determined for each
risk factor identified. At December 31, 2004, the ranges of poten-
tial losses for the more significant factors were:

General economic conditions - $7 million to $11 million

Concentration in large loans - $2 million to $3 million

Allocation of the loan loss reserve to the major loan categories

is presented in Table 22.

The provision for credit losses totaled $20.4 million, a $15.2
million decrease from 2003. Factors which contributed to the
lower provision included an improvement in credit quality as
indicated by our commerical loan migration analysis model and a
reduction in the outstanding balances of criticized loans.
Additionally, the number of past due consumer loans and net
losses incurred were reduced during the year. These factors were
partially offset by concerns about the effect of changes in inter-
est rates and energy prices on the commercial real estate and
commercial loan portfolios.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Information regarding nonperforming assets, which totaled
$56 million at December 31, 2004 and $60 million at December
31, 2003 is presented in Table 23. Nonperforming assets includ-
ed nonaccrual and renegotiated loans and excluded loans 90 days
or more past due but still accruing interest. Nonaccrual loans
totaled $53 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003. Newly iden-

tified nonaccruing loans totaled $47 million during the year.
Nonaccruing loans decreased $13 million for loans charged off and
foreclosed, and $28 million for cash payments received.
Additionally, nonaccruing loans decreased $6 million due to loans
returned to accruing status after a period of satisfactory
performance.

The loan review process also identified loans that possess more
than the normal amount of risk due to deterioration in the finan-
cial condition of the borrower or the value of the collateral.
Because the borrowers are still performing in accordance with the
original terms of the loan agreements, and no loss of principal or
interest is anticipated, these loans were not included in
Nonperforming Assets. Known information does, however, cause
management concerns as to the borrowers’ ability to comply with
current repayment terms. These potential problem loans totaled
$49 million at December 31, 2004 and $56 million at December
31, 2003. The current composition of potential problem loans by
primary industry included healthcare - $10 million, energy - $10
million and manufacturing - $10 million.

DEPOSITS

Deposit accounts represent our primary funding source. We
compete for retail and commercial deposits by offering a broad
range of products and services and focusing on customer conven-
ience. Retail deposit growth is supported through our Perfect
Banking program, free checking and on-line Billpay services, an
extensive network of branch locations and ATMs and a 24-hour
Express Bank call center. Commercial deposit growth is support-

ed by offering treasury management and lockbox services.

Average deposits increased $895 million or 10% during 2004.
Core deposits, which we define as deposits of less than $100,000,
excluding public funds and brokered deposits, increased 7% to
$4.6 billion. Growth in average core deposits resulted from initia-
tives such as free on-line Billpay, free checking and Perfect
Banking. Public funds and brokered deposits averaged $998 mil-
lion for 2004, an increase of 74% compared with 2003 averages.
The remaining average deposits, which were comprised of
accounts with balances in excess of $100,000, increased 5% to
$3.5 billion.

During the first half of 2004, the Company raised $342 million
in fixed rate, brokered certificates of deposits. These deposits
generally replaced other time deposits as they matured. The
weighted-average interest rate paid on these certificates is 2.89%.
Interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $342 million
have been designated as fair value hedges of these certificates.
The purpose of these swaps is to hedge against changes in fair

value due to changes in interest rates by modifying the certificates
from fixed rate to floating rates based on changes in LIBOR. We
receive a weighted average fixed rate of 3.01% on these swaps and
currently pay a floating rate of 2.40%.

kets is shown in Table 25.

BORROWINGS AND CAPITAL

Parent Company

BOK Financial (parent company) has a $125 million unsecured
revolving line of credit with certain banks that matures in
December 2006. The outstanding principal balance of this credit
agreement was $95 million at December 31, 2004.
Interest is
based on either LIBOR plus a defined margin that is determined
by the principal balance outstanding and our credit rating or a
base rate. The base rate is defined as the greater of the daily fed-
eral funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate. This credit agreement
includes certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to bor-
row additional funds and to pay cash dividends on common stock.
These covenants also require BOK Financial and subsidiary banks
to maintain minimum capital levels and to exceed minimum net
worth ratios. BOK Financial met all of the restrictive covenants at
December 31, 2004.

The primary source of liquidity for BOK Financial is dividends
from subsidiary banks, which are limited by various banking reg-
ulations to net profits, as defined, for the preceding two years.
Dividends are further restricted by minimum capital require-
ments. Based on the most restrictive limitations, the subsidiary
banks could declare up to $161 million of dividends without regu-
latory approval. Management has developed and the Board of
Directors has approved an internal capital policy that is more
restrictive than the regulatory capital standards. The subsidiary
banks could declare dividends of up to $98 million under this
policy.

Equity capital for BOK Financial increased $170 million to $1.4
billion during 2004. Retained earnings provided $179 million to
this increase, partially offset by a $20 million increase in net
unrealized losses on available for sale securities. The remaining
increase in capital during 2004 resulted primarily from employee
stock options.

Capital is managed to maximize long-term value to the share-
holders. Factors considered in managing capital include projec-
tions of future earnings, asset growth and acquisition strategies,
and regulatory and debt covenant requirements. Capital manage-
ment may include subordinated debt issuance, share repurchase
and stock and cash dividends. The Board of Directors has author-
ized a share repurchase program. The maximum of 191,058 com-
mon shares may be repurchased.

During 2004 and 2003, 3% dividends payable in shares of
BOK Financial’s common stock were declared and paid. The
shares issued were valued at $66 million and $58 million, respec-
tively, based on current stock prices when declared.   No cash div-
idends were paid on common stock.

39

BOK Financial and subsidiary banks are subject to various cap-
ital requirements administered by federal agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain manda-
tory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators
that could have material impact on operations. These capital
requirements include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities,
and off-balance sheet items. The capital standards are also sub-
ject to qualitative judgments by the regulators. The capital ratios
for BOK Financial and each subsidiary bank are presented in Note
16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsidiary Banks

BOK Financial’s subsidiary banks use borrowings to supple-
ment deposits as a source of funds for loans and securities growth.
Sources of these borrowings included federal funds purchased,
securities repurchase agreements, and advances from the Federal
Home Loan Banks. Interest rates and maturity dates for the vari-
ous borrowings are matched with specific asset types in the
asset/liability management process.

In 1997, BOk issued a $150 million, 10-year, 7.125% fixed
rate subordinated debenture.
Interest rate swaps were used as a
fair value hedge to convert the fixed interest on the debenture to
a LIBOR-based floating rate, which required an adjustment of
the carrying value of this debt to fair value. In 2001, the interest
rate swaps were terminated. The related fair value adjustment of
the debt of $8 million was fixed at that time and is being amor-
tized over the remaining life of the debt. Amortization of this
gain reduces the cost of the debt by 102 basis points.

During 2004, a $150 million notional amount interest rate
swap was designated as a hedge of changes in fair value of the sub-
ordinated debt due to changes in interest rates. The Company
receives a fixed rate of 3.165% and pays a variable rate based on 1-
month LIBOR, 2.40% at December 31, 2004. Semi-annual swap
settlements coincide with interest payments on the subordinated
debenture. The interest rate swap terminates on August 15, 2007,
the maturity date of the subordinated debenture.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During 2002, BOK Financial issued shares of common stock
and options to purchase additional shares with a fair value of $65
million for its purchase of Bank of Tanglewood. In addition, BOK
Financial agreed to a limited price guarantee on a portion of the
shares issued in this purchase. The fair value of this guarantee,
estimated to be $3 million based upon the Black-Scholes Option
Pricing Model, was included in the purchase price. Pursuant to
this guarantee, any holder of BOK Financial common shares
issued in this acquisition may annually make a claim for the excess

of the guaranteed price over the actual sales price of any shares
sold during a 60-day period after each of the first five anniversary
dates after October 25, 2002. The maximum annual number of
shares subject to this guarantee is 210,069. The price guarantee is
non-transferable and non-cumulative. BOK Financial may elect,
in its sole discretion, to issue additional shares of common stock
to satisfy any obligation under the price guarantee or to pay cash.
The maximum remaining number of shares that may be issued to
satisfy any price guarantee obligations is 10 million. If, as of any
benchmark date, we have already issued 10 million shares, we are
not obligated to make any further benchmark payments.
Additionally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to satisfy any price
guarantee obligations is limited by applicable banking capital and
dividend regulations.

We will have no obligation to issue additional common shares
or pay cash to satisfy any benchmark price protection obligation if

the market value per share of BOK Financial common stock
remains above the highest benchmark price of $42.53. The clos-
ing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2004
was $48.76. At a market price of $40.00 per common share, the
maximum obligation under this agreement would be to issue
13,802 additional shares or to pay $552 thousand.

AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

BOK Financial has numerous contractual obligations in the
normal course of business. These obligations included time
deposits and other borrowed funds, premises used under various
operating leases, commitments to extend credit to borrowers, to
purchase securities and to make other investments, derivative
contracts and contracts for services such as data processing that
are integral to our operations. The following table summarizes
payments due per these contractual obligations at December 31,
2004.

Payments on time deposits and other borrowed funds include
interest which has been calculated from rates at December 31,
2004. Many of these obligations have variable interest rates and
actual payments will differ from the amounts shown on this table.
Obligations under derivative contracts used for interest rate risk
management purposes are included with projected payments from
time deposits and other borrowed funds as appropriate.

Only time deposits with original terms exceeding one year are
presented in Table 26. Payments on time deposits are based on
contractual maturity dates. These funds may be withdrawn prior
to maturity. We may charge the customer a penalty for early with-
drawal.

Operating lease commitments generally represent real proper-
ty we rent for branch offices, corporate offices and operations
facilities. Payments presented represent minimum lease pay-
ments and exclude related costs such as utilities and property
taxes.

40

Data processing and communications contracts represent the
minimum obligations under these contracts. Additional payments
that are based on the volume of transactions processed are
excluded.

Derivative contracts represent obligations under our customer
hedging programs. As previously discussed, we have entered
into derivative contracts which are expected to substantially off-
set the cash payments due on these obligations.

The Company has commitments to make investments through
its BOK Financial Private Equity Fund. These commitments gen-
erally reflect customer investment obligations.

The Company also has obligations with respect to its employee

Consolidated Financial Statements.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to
adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These
changes may be the result of various factors, including interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices.
Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be clas-
sified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than
trading.

BOK Financial is subject to market risk primarily through the
effect of changes in interest rates on both its assets held for pur-
poses other than trading and trading assets. The effects of other
changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or
equity prices do not pose significant market risk to BOK Financial.
BOK Financial has no material investments in assets that are
affected by changes in foreign exchange rates or equity prices.
Energy derivative contracts, which are affected by changes in com-
modity prices, are matched against offsetting contracts as previ-
ously discussed.

Responsibility for managing market risk rests with the Asset /
Liability Committee that operates under policy guidelines estab-
lished by the Board of Directors. The acceptable negative variation
in net interest revenue due to a specified basis point increase or
decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines
to +/- 10%. These guidelines also set maximum levels for short-
term borrowings, short-term assets, public funds, and brokered
deposits, and establish minimum levels for unpledged assets,
among other things. Compliance with these guidelines is
reviewed monthly.

Interest Rate Risk - Other than Trading

BOK Financial has a large portion of its earning assets in vari-
able rate loans and a large portion of its liabilities in demand
deposit accounts and interest bearing transaction accounts.
Changes in interest rates affect earning assets more rapidly than
interest bearing liabilities in the short term. Management has
adopted several strategies to reduce this interest rate sensitivity.
As previously noted in the Net Interest Revenue section of this
report, management acquires securities that are funded by bor-
rowings in the capital markets. These securities have an expect-
ed average duration of approximately 3.3 years while the
related funds borrowed have an average life of approximately
90 days.

BOK Financial also  uses interest rate swaps in managing its
interest rate sensitivity. During 2004 and 2003, net interest rev-
enue increased $9.9 million and $14.0 million, respectively, from
periodic settlements of these contracts. These contracts are car-
ried on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value are

41

reported in income as derivatives gains or losses. A net loss of
$1.3 million was recognized in 2004 compared to a net loss of $9.4
million in 2003 from adjustments of these swaps and hedged lia-
bilities to fair value. Credit risk from these swaps is closely mon-
itored as part of our overall process of managing credit exposure to
other financial institutions. Additional information regarding
interest rate swap contracts is presented in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The effectiveness of these strategies in managing the overall
interest rate risk is evaluated through the use of an asset/liability
model. BOK Financial performs a sensitivity analysis to identify
more dynamic interest rate risk exposures, including embedded
option positions, on net interest revenue. A simulation model is
used to estimate the effect of changes in interest rates over the
next twelve months based on eight interest rate scenarios. Three
specified interest rate scenarios are used to evaluate interest rate
risk against policy guidelines. These are a “most likely” rate sce-
nario and two “shock test” scenarios, first assuming a sustained
parallel 200 basis point increase and second assuming a sustained
parallel 100 basis point decrease in interest rates. Management
historically evaluated interest rate sensitivity for a sustained 200
basis point decrease in rates. However, these results are not
meaningful in the current low-rate environment. An independ-
ent source is used to determine the most likely interest rate
scenario.

Our primary interest rate exposures included the Federal
Funds rate, which affects short-term borrowings, and the prime
lending rate and LIBOR, which are the basis for much of the vari-
able-rate loan pricing. Additionally, mortgage rates directly affect
the prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities and mort-
gage servicing rights. Derivative financial instruments and other
financial instruments used for purposes other than trading are
included in this simulation. The model incorporates assumptions
regarding the effects of changes in interest rates and account bal-
ances on indeterminable maturity deposits based on a combina-
tion of historical analysis and expected behavior. The impact of
planned growth and new business activities is factored into the
simulation model. The effects of changes in interest rates on the
value of mortgage servicing rights are excluded from Table 27 due
to the extreme volatility over such a large rate range. The effects of
interest rate changes on the value of mortgage servicing rights and
securities identified as economic hedges are presented in the
Lines of Business - Mortgage Banking section of this report.

It represents an amount of market loss that is likely to be exceed-
ed only one out of every 100 two-week periods. Trading positions
are managed within guidelines approved by the Board of
Directors. These guidelines limit the VAR to $1.6 million. At
December 31, 2004, the VAR was $227 thousand. The greatest
value at risk during 2004 was $1.5 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Financial Accounting Standards Board

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  123R,
“Share-Based Payments”

In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” by issuing FAS
123R. FAS 123R requires companies to recognize in their income
statements the grant-date fair value of stock options and other
equity-based compensation issued to their  employees.
Previously, FAS 123 recommended, but did not require income
statement recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensa-
tion. FAS 123R requires that share-based payments that may be
settled in cash be carried at current fair value. Fair value is deter-
mined at each balance sheet date until the award is settled.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the current period. Share-
based payments that will be settled in equity instruments are
measured at grant-date fair value and not remeasured for subse-
quent changes in fair value. Compensation expense is generally
recognized over the vesting period for awards that will be settled in
equity instruments. FAS 123R is effective for interim periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2005.

The Company previously adopted the preferred income state-
ment recognition methods of the original FAS 123. Management
does not expect FAS 123R to have a significant effect on its finan-
cial statements.

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on
numerous assumptions regarding the effects of changes in inter-
est rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics,
future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are
inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely
estimate net interest revenue, or precisely predict the impact of
higher or lower interest rates on net interest revenue. Actual
results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude
and frequency of interest rate changes, market conditions and
management strategies, among other factors.

Trading Activities

BOK Financial enters into trading activities both as an inter-
mediary for customers and for its own account. As an intermedi-
ary, BOK Financial will take positions in securities, generally
mortgage-backed securities, government agency securities, and
municipal bonds. These securities are purchased for resale to
customers, which include individuals, corporations, foundations
and financial institutions. BOK Financial will also take trading
positions in U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities,
municipal bonds and financial futures for its own account. These
positions are taken with the objective of generating trading prof-
its. Both of these activities involve interest rate risk.

A variety of methods are used to manage the interest rate risk
of trading activities. These methods include daily marking of all
positions to market value, independent verification of inventory
pricing, and position limits for each trading activity. Hedges in
either the futures or cash markets may be used to reduce the risk
associated with some trading programs. The Risk Management
Department monitors trading activity daily and reports to senior
management and the Risk Oversight and Audit Committee of the
BOK Financial Board of Directors any exceptions to trading posi-
tion limits and risk management policy exceptions.

Management uses a Value at Risk (“VAR”) methodology to
measure the market risk inherent in its trading activities. VAR is
calculated based upon historical simulations over the past five
years using a variance / covariance matrix of interest rate changes.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants

Statement  of  Position  03-3,  “Accounting  for  Certain
Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”

SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between con-
tractual and expected cash flows of certain acquired loans and debt
securities when the differences are due, at least in part, to credit
quality. SOP 03-3 is applicable to loans and debt securities
acquired individually, in pools or as part of a business combina-
tion. It is not applicable to loans originated by the lender. The
yield that may be accreted to income is limited to the excess of
estimated undiscounted cash flows over the investor’s investment
in the asset. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows should
be recognized prospectively through a yield adjustment.
Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized
as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits the carry-over or creation of
valuation allowances related to acquired assets, including assets
acquired in a business combination that have evidence of deterio-
ration since origination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt
securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2004. The guidance provided by SOP 03-3 is not expected to have
a significant effect on future financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force

Issue  03-1,  “The  Meaning  of  Other-than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”

EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an invest-
ment is impaired, for evaluating whether the impairment is other-
than-temporary and for measuring impairment. An asset is con-
sidered impaired when its fair value is less than cost. The crite-
ria for evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-tempo-
rary includes the nature of the asset, whether the asset can be pre-
paid by the issuer in a manner that the investor will not recover its
investment, the severity and duration of the impairment and the
investor’s ability and intent to hold the asset until the fair value
recovers. Impairment is measured as the difference between fair
value and cost. If the impairment is considered other-than-tem-
porary, a new cost basis is established through a  direct write-
down of the asset.

In September 2004, the FASB agreed to reconsider EITF 03-1
and all other guidance on disclosing, measuring and recognizing
other-than-temporary impairment of debt and equity securities.
Until the reconsideration of EITF 03-1 is complete, we are unable
to evaluate the effect on future financial statements. The disclo-
sure requirements of EITF 03-1 remain in effect. Guidance for

determining other-than-temporary impairment continues to be
provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 59.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

and are inherently

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based
on management’s beliefs, assumptions, current expectations,
estimates, and projections about BOK Financial, the financial
services industry and the economy in general. Words such as
“anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,”
“plans,” “projects,” variations of such words and similar expres-
sions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Management judgments relating to and discussion of the provi-
sion and reserve for loan losses involve judgments as to expected
events
forward-looking statements.
Assessments that BOK Financial’s acquisitions and other growth
endeavors will be profitable are necessary statements of belief as
to the outcome of future events, based in part on information pro-
vided by others that BOK Financial has not independently veri-
fied. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and
degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may
materially differ from what is expressed, implied, or forecasted in
such forward-looking statements. Internal and external factors
that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
(1) the ability to fully realize expected cost savings from mergers
within the expected time frames, (2) the ability of other compa-
nies on which BOK Financial relies to provide goods and services
in a timely and accurate manner, (3) changes in interest rates and
interest rate relationships, (4) demand for products and services,
(5) the degree of competition by traditional and nontraditional
competitors, (6) changes in banking regulations, tax laws, prices,
levies, and assessments, (7) the impact of technological advances
and (8) trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay
loans. BOK Financial and its affiliates undertake no obligation to
update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control over financial reporting and for assessing the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria
established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the
Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment and criteria,
management has determined that the Company has maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2004.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public
accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements
of the Company included in this annual report, has issued an audit
report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004. Their report, which expresses unqualified
opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, is included in this annual report.

Management of BOK Financial is responsible for the prepara-
tion, integrity and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements included in this annual report. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and
necessarily include some amounts that are based on our best esti-
mates and judgments.

Management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an assessment
of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2004.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s con-
solidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In establishing internal control over financial reporting, manage-
ment assesses risk and designs controls to prevent or detect
financial reporting misstatements that may be consequential to a
reader. Management also assesses the impact of any internal con-
trol deficiencies and oversees the effort to continuously improve
internal control over financial reporting. Because of inherent
limitations, it is possible that internal controls may not prevent or
detect misstatements and it is possible that internal controls may
vary over time based on changing conditions. There have been no
material changes in internal controls subsequent to December 31,
2004.

The Risk Oversight and Audit Committee, consisting entirely
of independent directors, meets regularly with management,
internal auditors, and the independent registered public account-
ing firm, Ernst & Young, LLP, regarding management’s assess-
ment of internal control over financial reporting.

REPORTS OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Report on Consolidated Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of BOK Financial
Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of BOK Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and
2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, share-
holders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsi-
bility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial state-
ments are free of material misstatement. An audit includes exam-
ining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and dis-
closures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assess-
ing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial state-
ment presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reason-
able basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of BOK Financial Corporation at December 31, 2004 and
2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of BOK Financial Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORTS OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Report on Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of BOK Financial
Corporation

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting, that BOK Financial Corporation maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
BOK Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of
the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal con-
trol over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of inter-
nal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s
assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effec-
tiveness of internal control, and performing such other proce-
dures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of

financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide rea-
sonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over finan-
cial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that BOK Financial
Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, BOK
Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effec-
tive internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2004, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
2004 consolidated financial statements of BOK Financial
Corporation and our report dated March 11, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Acquisitions

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements of BOK Financial
Corporation (“BOK Financial” or “the Company”) have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, including general practices of the
banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries, principally
Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. and its subsidiaries (“BOk”), Bank of
Texas, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A., Bank of Albuquerque, N.A.,
Colorado State Bank and Trust, N.A. and BOSC, Inc. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
year classifications.

The consolidated financial statements would also include the
assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of opera-
tions of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when BOK Financial is
determined to be the primary beneficiary. Variable interest enti-
ties are generally defined in FASB Interpretation No. 46R,
“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” as entities that
either do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities
without support from other parties or whose equity investors lack
a controlling financial interest. BOK Financial has limited inter-
ests in VIEs in its operations.

Nature of Operations

BOK Financial, through its subsidiaries, provides a wide
range of financial services to commercial and industrial cus-
tomers, other financial institutions and consumers throughout
Oklahoma, Northwest Arkansas, Dallas and Houston, Texas,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Denver, Colorado. These servic-
es include depository and cash management; lending and lease
financing; mortgage banking; securities brokerage, trading and
underwriting; and personal and corporate trust.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of BOK Financial’s consolidated financial state-
ments requires management to make estimates of future eco-
nomic activities, including loan collectibility, prepayments and
cash flows from customer accounts. These estimates are based
upon current conditions and information available to manage-
ment. Actual results may differ significantly from these
estimates.

Assets and liabilities acquired by purchase, including identifi-
able intangible assets, are recorded at fair values on the acquisi-
tion dates. The Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the
results of purchases from the dates of acquisition.

Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets, which result from business combinations,
are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets,” and No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions.”

Intangible assets with indefinite lives, such as goodwill, are
evaluated for each of BOK Financial’s business units for impair-
ment annually or more frequently if conditions indicate impair-
ment. The evaluation of possible impairment of intangible assets
involves significant judgment based upon short-term and long-
term projections of future performance.

The fair value of BOK Financial’s business units is estimated by
the discounted future earnings method. Income growth is project-
ed over a five-year period for each unit and a terminal value is
computed. This projected income stream is converted to current
fair value by using a discount rate that reflects a rate of return
required by a willing buyer.

Other identifiable intangible assets and core deposit intangi-
bles are amortized using accelerated methods over the estimated
benefit periods. These periods generally range from 5 to 10 years
for other intangible assets and core deposit intangibles. The net
book value of these other intangibles and core deposit intangibles
are evaluated for impairment when economic conditions indicate
an impairment may exist.

Cash Equivalents 

Due from banks, funds sold (generally federal funds sold for
one-day periods) and resell agreements (which generally mature
within one to 30 days) are considered cash equivalents.

Securities

Securities are identified as trading, investment (held to matu-
rity) or available for sale at the time of purchase based upon the
intent of management, liquidity and capital requirements, regula-
tory limitations and other relevant factors. Trading securities,
which are acquired for profit through resale, are carried at market
value with unrealized gains and losses included in current period
earnings. Investment securities are carried at amortized cost.

52

Amortization is computed by methods that approximate level yield
and is adjusted for changes in prepayment estimates. Investment
securities may be sold or transferred to trading or available for sale
classification in certain limited circumstances specified in gener-
ally accepted accounting principles. Securities identified as avail-
able for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses
are recorded, net of deferred income taxes, as accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Unrealized
losses on securities are evaluated to determine if the losses are
temporary based on various factors, including the cause of the
loss, prospects for recovery and management’s intent and ability
to hold the security until the fair value exceeds amortized cost. An
impairment charge is recorded against earnings if the loss is
determined to be other than temporary. Realized gains and losses
on sales of securities are based upon the amortized cost of the spe-
cific security sold. Available for sale securities are separately iden-
tified as pledged to creditors if the creditor has the right to sell or
repledge the collateral.

The purchase or sale of securities is recognized on a trade date
basis. A net receivable or payable is recognized for subsequent
transaction settlement. BOK Financial will periodically commit to
purchase to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities.
These commitments are carried at fair value if they are considered
derivative contracts. These commitments are not reflected in BOK
Financial’s balance sheet until settlement date if they meet specif-
ic criteria exempting them from the definition of derivative con-
tracts.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments may be used by the Company as part of
its interest rate risk management programs or may be offered to
customers to assist with their hedging strategies. All derivative
instruments are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are
generally reported in income as they occur.

Derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk con-
sist primarily of interest rate swaps. These contracts modify the
interest income or expense of certain assets or liabilities.
Amounts receivable from or payable to counterparties are report-
ed in interest income or expense using the accrual method.
Changes in fair value of interest rate swaps are reported in other
operating revenue – gains or losses on derivatives.

In certain circumstances, interest rate swaps may be designat-
ed as fair value hedges and may qualify for hedge accounting. In
these circumstances, changes in the fair value of the hedged asset
or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk are also report-

ed in other operating revenue – gains or losses on derivatives, and
may partially or completely offset the change in fair value of the
interest rate swap. Fair value hedges are considered to be effective
if the cumulative fair value adjustment of the interest rate swap is
within a range of 80% to 120% of the change in fair value of the
hedged asset or liability.

Interest rate swaps may be designated as cash flow hedges of
variable rate assets or liabilities, or of anticipated transactions.
Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash
flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income to the extent they are effective. The amount recorded in
other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings in the
same periods as the hedged cash flows impact earnings. The inef-
fective portion of changes in fair value is reported in current earn-
ings.

If a derivative instrument that had been designated as a fair
value hedge is terminated or if the hedge designation is removed
or deemed to no longer be effective, the difference between the
hedged item’s carrying value and its face amount is recognized
into income over the remaining original hedge period. Similarly,
if a derivative instrument that had been designated as a cash flow
hedge is terminated or if the hedge designation is removed or
deemed to no longer be effective, the amount remaining in accu-
mulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings
in the same period as the hedged item.

BOK Financial also enters into mortgage loan commitments
that are considered derivative instruments. Forward sales con-
tracts are used to hedge these mortgage loan commitments as well
as mortgage loans held for sale. Mortgage loan commitments are
carried at fair value based upon quoted prices, excluding the value
of loan servicing rights or other ancillary values. Changes in fair
value of the mortgage loan commitments and forward sales con-
tracts are reported in other operating revenue – mortgage banking
revenue.

Derivative contracts are also offered to customers to assist in
hedging their risks of adverse changes in commodity prices, inter-
est rates and foreign exchange rates. BOK Financial serves as an
intermediary between its customers and the markets. Each con-
tract between BOK Financial and its customers is offset by a con-
tract between BOK Financial and various counterparties. These
contracts are carried at fair value. Compensation for credit risk
and reimbursement of administrative costs are recognized over
the life of the contracts and included in other operating revenue –
brokerage and trading revenue.

53

Loans

Loans are either secured or unsecured based on the type of
loan and the financial condition of the borrower. Repayment is
generally expected from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of
selected assets of the borrower. BOK Financial is exposed to risk
of loss on loans due to the borrower’s difficulties, which may
arise from any number of factors, including problems within the
respective industry or local economic conditions. Access to col-
lateral, in the event of borrower default, is reasonably assured
through adherence to applicable lending laws and through sound
lending standards and credit review procedures.

Interest is accrued at the applicable interest rate on the prin-
cipal amount outstanding. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status
when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal
or interest is uncertain, generally when the collection of princi-
pal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Interest previously
accrued but not collected is charged against interest income
when the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Payments on
nonaccrual loans are applied to principal or reported as interest
income, according to management’s judgment as to the col-
lectibility of principal.

Loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan acqui-
sition and origination costs, when significant, are deferred and
amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan or
over the commitment period, as applicable.

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggre-
gate cost or market value. Mortgage loans held for sale that are
designated as hedged assets are carried at fair value based on
sales commitments or market quotes. Changes in fair value after
the date of designation of an effective hedge are recorded in
other operating revenue.

Reserve for Loan Losses and Off-Balance Sheet Credit
Losses

Reserves for loan losses and off-balance sheet credit losses
are assessed by management, based upon an ongoing quarterly
evaluation of the probable estimated losses inherent in the port-
folio, and includes probable losses on both outstanding loans
and unused commitments to provide financing. A consistent
methodology has been developed that includes reserves assigned
to specific criticized loans, general reserves that are based upon
statistical migration analyses for each category of loans, and a
nonspecific allowance that is based upon an analysis of current
economic conditions, loan concentrations, portfolio growth and

other relevant factors. The reserve for loan losses related to loans
that are identified for evaluation in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (“FAS 114”), is based on
discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest
rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral
dependent loans. Loans are considered to be impaired when it
becomes probable that BOK Financial will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. This is substantially the same criteria used to deter-
mine when a loan should be placed on nonaccrual status. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material esti-
mates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans that may be suscepti-
ble to significant change.

In accordance with the provisions of FAS 114, management
has excluded small balance, homogeneous loans from the
impairment evaluation specified in FAS 114. Such loans include
1-4 family mortgage loans, consumer loans, and commercial
loans with committed amounts less than $1 million. The adequa-
cy of the reserve for loan losses applicable to these loans is eval-
uated in accordance with generally accepted accounting princi-
ples and standards established by the banking regulatory author-
ities and adopted as policy by BOK Financial.

A provision for credit losses is charged against earnings in
amounts necessary to maintain adequate reserves for loan and
off-balance sheet credit losses. Loans are charged off when the
loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer covered
by the paying capacity of the borrower based on an evaluation of
available cash resources and collateral value. Loans are evaluated
quarterly and charge-offs are taken in the quarter in which the
loss is identified. Additionally, all unsecured or under-secured
loans that are past due by 180 days or more are charged off with-
in 30 days. Recoveries of loans previously charged off are added
to the reserve.

Asset Securitization

BOK Financial periodically securitizes and sells pools of
assets. These transactions are recorded as sales for financial
reporting purposes when the criteria for surrender of control
specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishment of Liabilities,” are met. BOK Financial may
retain the right to service the assets and a residual interest in
excess cash flows generated by the assets. The carrying value of

54

the assets sold is allocated between the portion sold and the por-
tion retained based on relative fair values. The fair value of these
retained assets is determined by a discounting of expected future
net cash to be received using assumed market interest rates for
these instruments. Residual interests are carried at fair value.
Changes in fair values are recorded in income. Servicing rights are
carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. A valuation
allowance is provided when amortized cost of servicing rights
exceeds fair value.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets

Real estate and other repossessed assets are assets acquired in
partial or total forgiveness of loans. These assets are carried at the
lower of cost, which is determined by fair value at date of foreclo-
sure, or current fair value. Income generated by these assets is
recognized as received, and operating expenses are recognized as
incurred.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are carried at cost including capital-
ized interest, when appropriate, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or,
for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated
useful lives or remaining lease terms. Repair and maintenance
costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of
amortized cost or fair value. Amortization is determined in pro-
portion to the projected cash flows over the estimated lives of the
servicing portfolios. The actual cash flows are dependent upon the
prepayment of the mortgage loans and may differ significantly
from the estimates.

There is no active market for trading in mortgage servicing
rights. We use a cash flow model to determine fair value. Key
assumptions and estimates including projected prepayment
speeds and assumed servicing costs, earnings on escrow deposits,
ancillary income and discount rates used by this model are based
on current market sources. A separate third party model is used
to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing
turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults
and other relevant factors. The prepayment model is updated
daily for changes in market conditions. At least annually, we

request estimates of fair value from outside sources to corrobo-
rate the results of the valuation model.

Permanent impairment ofmortgage servicing rights is evaluated
quarterly. A strata is considered to be permanently impaired if the
fair value does not exceed amortized cost after assuming a 300 basis
point increase in mortgage interest rates. The amortized cost of the
asset is reduced to the calculated fair value through a charge against
the valuation allowance.

Originated mortgage servicing rights are recognized when
either mortgage loans are originated pursuant to an existing plan
for sale or, if no such plan exists, when the mortgage loans are
sold. The fair value of the originated servicing rights is deter-
mined at closing based upon relative fair value. Purchased mort-
gage servicing rights are recorded at cost.

Federal and State Income Taxes

BOK Financial utilizes the liability method in accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabili-
ties are determined based upon the difference between the values
of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial statement
and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or set-
tled. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Current income tax expense is based on an effective tax rate
that considers statutory federal and state income tax rates and
permanent differences between income and expense recognition
for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The amount of
current income tax expense recognized in any period may differ
from amounts reported to taxing authorities. These differences
are recorded as current income tax liabilities. Income tax expense
may be reduced when amounts accrued are determined to no
longer represent liabilities of the Company.  Income tax expense
was reduced $3.0 million in 2004 from the resolution of state
income tax issues.

BOK Financial and its subsidiaries file consolidated tax
returns. The subsidiaries provide for income taxes on a separate
return basis and remit to BOK Financial amounts determined to
be currently payable.

55

Employee Benefit Plans

BOK Financial sponsors various plans, including a defined
benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”), qualified profit sharing
plans (“Thrift Plans”), and employee healthcare plans. Employer
contributions to the Thrift Plans, which match employee contri-
butions subject to percentage and years of service limits, are
expensed when incurred. Pension Plan costs, which are based
upon actuarial computations of current costs, are expensed annu-
ally. Unrecognized prior service cost and net gains or losses are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining
lives of the participants. BOK Financial recognizes the expense of
health care benefits on the accrual method. Employer contribu-
tions to the Pension Plan and various health care plans are in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations.

Stock Compensation Plans

BOK Financial has various stock compensation plans for its
employees. During 2003, BOK Financial adopted the expense
recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement 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” (“FAS 148”). Under FAS 123, compen-
sation expense is recognized based on the fair value of stock
options granted. BOK Financial chose to retroactively restate its
results of operations for the accounting change, as provided by
FAS 148.

BOK Financial also permits certain executive officers to defer
the recognition of income from the exercise of stock options for
income tax purposes and to diversify the deferred income into
alternative investments. Because the Company is expected to set-
tle these amounts in cash, they are recognized as a liability.
Changes in the liability are recognized as additional compensation

accrued when necessary. Accrued fees and commissions are
reversed against revenue if amounts are subsequently deemed to
be uncollectible.

Effect of Pending Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards

Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  123R, 
“Share-Based Payments”

In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” by issuing FAS
123R. FAS 123R requires companies to recognize in income state-
ments the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-
based compensation issued to employees. Previously, FAS 123
recommended, but did not require income statement recognition
of the fair value of equity-based compensation.
FAS 123R
requires that share-based payments that may be settled in cash be
carried at current fair value. Fair value is determined at each bal-
ance sheet date until the award is settled. Changes in fair value are
recognized in the current period. Share-based payments that will
be settled in equity instruments are measured at grant-date fair
value and not remeasured for subsequent changes in fair value.
Compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting
period for awards that will be settled in equity instruments. FAS
123R is effective for interim periods beginning on or after June 15,
2005.

The Company previously adopted the preferred income state-
ment recognition methods of the original FAS 123. Management
does not expect FAS 123R to have a significant effect on its finan-
cial statements.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain
Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”

SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between con-
tractual and expected cash flows of certain acquired loans and debt
securities when the differences are due, at least in part, to credit
quality. SOP 03-3 is applicable to loans and debt securities
acquired individually, in pools or as part of a business combina-
tion. It is not applicable to loans originated by the lender. The
yield that may be accreted to income is limited to the excess of
estimated undiscounted cash flows over the investor’s investment
in the asset. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows should
be recognized prospectively through a yield adjustment.
Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized
as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits the carry-over or creation of
valuation allowances related to acquired assets, including assets
acquired in a business combination that have evidence of deterio-
ration since origination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt
securities acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15,

56

2004. The guidance provided by SOP 03-3 is not expected to have
a significant effect on future financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue  03-1,  “The  Meaning  of  Other-than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”

EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an invest-
ment is impaired, for evaluating whether the impairment is other-
than-temporary and for measuring impairment. An asset is con-
sidered impaired when its fair value is less than cost. The crite-
ria for evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-tempo-
rary includes the nature of the asset, whether the asset can be pre-
paid by the issuer in a manner that the investor will not recover its
investment, the severity and duration of the impairment and the
investor’s ability and intent to hold the asset until the fair value
recovers. Impairment is measured as the difference between fair
value and cost. If the impairment is considered other-than-tem-
porary, a new cost basis is established through direct write-down
of the asset.

In September 2004, the FASB agreed to reconsider EITF 03-1
and all other guidance on disclosing, measuring and recognizing
other-than-temporary impairment of debt and equity securities.
Until the reconsideration of EITF 03-1 is complete, we are unable
to evaluate the effects on future financial statements. The disclo-
sure requirements of EITF 03-1 remain in effect. Guidance for
determining other-than-temporary impairment continues to be
provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 59.

(2) ACQUISITIONS

On September 10, 2003, BOK Financial paid $77.9 million in
cash for all the outstanding stock of Colorado Funding Company
and its Colorado State Bank and Trust subsidiary.

On October 25, 2002, BOK Financial acquired Bank of
Tanglewood, N.A. for 1,711,127 shares of common stock and
292,225 options to purchase shares, valued at approximately $65
million. The options to purchase shares expired February 25,
2003. BOK Financial agreed to a price guarantee on 50 percent of
the stock issued, which resulted in a contingent obligation to issue
additional shares or cash over the next five years based on certain
predetermined market valuations. The value of the contingent
price guarantee was $3 million, which was included in the total
purchase price. More discussion of this contingency is at Note 16.

These transactions were accounted for by the purchase method
of accounting. Aggregate allocation of the purchase price to the

net assets acquired was as follows (in thousands):

to buy $15 million of securities that have not yet been issued. As
of December 31, 2004, these commitments are not reflected in
BOK Financial’s balance sheet because they have not settled and

In addition to securities that have been reclassified as pledged

$2.1 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, have
been pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, public and
trust funds on deposit and for other purposes as required by law.
The secured parties do not have the right to sell or repledge these
securities.

Net unrealized losses on securities totaled $15 million at
December 31, 2004 compared with net unrealized gains of $17
million at December 31, 2003 due primarily to rising interest
rates. The aggregate gross amount of unrealized losses at
December 31, 2004 totaled $32 million. Management evaluated
the securities with unrealized losses to determine if we believe that
the losses were temporary. This evaluation considered factors
such as causes of the unrealized losses and prospects for recovery
over various interest rate scenarios and time periods. We also
considered our ability and intent to hold the securities until the
fair values exceed amortized cost. It is our belief, based on cur-
our

evaluation,
that
securities were

Customer Risk Management Programs

BOK Financial offers programs that permit its customers to
manage various risks. We have programs to assist energy produc-
ing customers to hedge against price fluctuations and to take posi-
tions through energy derivative contracts. We also have programs
to assist customers in managing their interest rate and foreign
exchange risks and a specialized program for customers with loans
secured by cattle. These programs work essentially the same way.

Derivative contracts are executed between the customers and BOK
Financial. Offsetting contracts are executed between BOK
Financial and selected counterparties to minimize the risk of
changes in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign exchange
rates. The counterparty contracts are identical to the customer
contracts, except for a fixed pricing spread or a fee paid to BOK
Financial as compensation for administrative costs, credit risks
and profit.

Interest Rate Risk Management Programs

BOK Financial uses interest rate swaps to assist in managing its
interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate swaps are generally used to
reduce overall asset sensitivity by converting specific fixed rate lia-
bilities to floating rate based on LIBOR, or specific prime-based
loans to fixed rate. Interest rate swaps are designated as fair value
or cash flow hedges when the specific criteria required by gener-
ally accepted accounting principles are met. These criteria include
requirements that derivatives are highly effective in offsetting
changes in fair value or cash flow of the hedged assets or liabilities.

The following table details interest rate swaps and, when appli-
cable, the associated hedged assets or liabilities at December 31,

During 2004 and 2003, net interest revenue was increased by
$9.9 million and $14.7 million, respectively, from the settlement
of amounts receivable or payable on interest rate swaps.

In addition, BOK Financial has an option to enter into an
interest rate swap that is part of the mortgage servicing rights
hedging program. The notional amount of this derivative contract

is $50 million. On October 15, 2005, we have the right to enter
into an interest rate swap where we receive a fixed rate of 4.05%
and pay a variable rate based on LIBOR. If we choose to exercise
the option, the resulting swap will expire in 2015. This contract is
carried at fair value and is not designated as a hedge for account-
ing purposes.

Approximately 59% of the commercial and consumer loan
portfolios and approximately 75% of the residential mortgage loan
portfolio (excluding loans held for sale) are loans to businesses
and individuals in Oklahoma. This geographic concentration sub-
jects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within
this area.

Within the commercial loan classification, loans to energy-
related businesses total $1.2 billion or 15% of total loans as of
include
December 31, 2004. Other notable segments
wholesale/retail, $699 million; manufacturing, $484 million;
agriculture, $262 million, which includes $217 million of loans to
the cattle industry; and services, $1.6 billion, which includes nurs-
ing homes of $281 million, healthcare of $143 million and hotels
of $30 million.

Approximately 39% of commercial real estate loans are
secured by properties located in Oklahoma, primarily in the Tulsa
and Oklahoma City metropolitan areas. An additional 31% of
commercial real estate loans are secured by property located in
Texas. The major components of these properties are multifamily
residences, $232 million; construction and land development,
$457 million; retail facilities, $312 million; and office buildings,
$343 million.

During 2004, interest rate swaps with $100 million notional
amounts were designated cash flow hedges of prime-based loans.
The objective of the hedge is to protect against the variability of
interest cash flows on the first $100 million of then existing
prime-based loans. The Company receives settlements based on
a fixed rate of 5.93% and pays settlements based on the U.S. prime
rate. Amounts due are settled monthly. The amounts related to
these swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive
income that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during

2005 based on the current interest rate environment is not mate-
rial to the Company’s operating results.

Credit Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a cus-
tomer as long as there is no violation of conditions established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. At
December 31, 2004, outstanding commitments totaled $3.5 bil-
lion. Because some commitments are expected to expire before
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not neces-
sarily represent future cash requirements. BOK Financial uses the
same credit policies in making commitments as it does loans.

The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is

based upon management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Because the credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of cred-
it is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan com-
mitments, BOK Financial uses the same credit policies in evaluat-
ing the creditworthiness of the customer. Additionally, BOK
Financial uses the same evaluation process in obtaining collateral
on standby letters of credit as it does for loan commitments. The
term of these standby letters of credit is defined in each commit-
ment and typically corresponds with the underlying loan commit-
ment. At December 31, 2004, outstanding standby letters of cred-
it totaled $414 million.

Commercial letters of credit are used to facilitate customer
trade transactions with the drafts being drawn when the underly-
ing transaction is consummated. At December 31, 2004, out-
standing commercial letters of credit totaled $7 million.

(8) MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

BOK Financial engages in mortgage banking activities through
the BOk Mortgage Division of BOk. Residential mortgage loans
held for sale totaled $40 million and $57 million, and outstanding
mortgage loan commitments totaled $189 million and $208 mil-
lion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Mortgage loan
commitments are generally outstanding for 60 to 90 days and are
subject to both credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk is managed
through underwriting policies and procedures, including collater-
al requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary

loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is partially
hedged through the use of mortgage-backed securities forward
sales contracts. These contracts set the price for loans that will be
delivered in the next 60 to 90 days. As of December 31, 2004, the
unrealized loss on forward sales contracts used to hedge the mort-
gage pipeline was approximately $119 thousand.

At December 31, 2004, BOK Financial owned the rights to
service 56,062 mortgage loans with outstanding principal balances
of $4.5 billion, including $655 million serviced for affiliates, and
held related funds of $67 million for investors and borrowers. The
weighted average interest rate and remaining term was 6.27% and
270 months, respectively. Mortgage loans sold with recourse
totaled $32 million at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003,
BOK Financial owned the rights to service 61,254 mortgage loans
with outstanding principal balances of $4.7 billion, including $357
million serviced for affiliates, and held related funds of $83 mil-
lion for investors and borrowers. The weighted average interest
rate and remaining term was 6.50% and 266 months, respective-
ly. Mortgage loans sold with recourse totaled $103 million at
December 31, 2003.

The portfolio of mortgage servicing rights exposes BOK
Financial to interest rate risk. During periods of falling inter-
est rates, mortgage loan prepayments increase, reducing the
value of the mortgage servicing rights. See Note 1 for specific
accounting policies for mortgage servicing rights and the relat-
ed hedges.

1 Excludes approximately $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $2 million at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, of loan servicing rights 

on mortgage loans originated prior to the adoption of FAS 122.

2 Hedging loss represents the deferred loss on a derivatives-based hedging program prior to the adoption of FAS 133.
3 Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on numerous assumptions primarily related to mortgage interest rates.  At 

December 31, 2004, management estimates that a 50 basis point increase in mortgage interest rates will increase the fair value of
mortgage servicing rights by $6.3 million and a 50 basis point decrease in mortgage interest rates will reduce the fair value of 
mortgage servicing rights by $10.4 million.

Fair value is determined by discounting the projected net cash flows. Significant assumptions are:
Discount rate - Indexed to a risk-free rate commensurate with the average life of the servicing portfolio plus a market premium. The

discount rate at December 31, 2004 was 9.71%.

Prepayment rate - Annual prepayment estimates ranging from 10.55% to 34.54% based upon loan interest rate, original term and loan

type.

Loan servicing costs - $35 to $46 annually per loan based upon loan type.
Escrow earnings rate - Indexed to rates paid on deposit accounts with a comparable average life. The escrow earnings rate at December

31, 2004 was 4.52%.

The aggregate amounts of time deposits in denominations of
$100,000 or more at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $2.2 bil-
lion and $2.1 billion, respectively.

Time deposit maturities are as follows: 2005 - $1.3 billion,
2006 - $422 million, 2007 - $808 million, 2008 - $232 million,
2009 - $330 million, and $577 million thereafter.

During the first half of 2004, the Company raised $342 million
in fixed rate, brokered certificates of deposits. These deposits
generally replaced other time deposits as they matured. The
weighted average interest rate paid on these certificates is 2.89%.
Interest rate swaps have been designated as hedges of each of
these certificates. The purpose of these swaps is to hedge against
changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates by modifying
the certificates from fixed rate to floating rates based on changes
in LIBOR. We receive a weighted average fixed rate of 3.01% on
these swaps and currently pay a floating rate of 2.40%.

Interest expense on time deposits during 2004 and 2003 was
reduced by the net accrued settlement from interest rate swaps of
$7.9 million and $14.0 million, respectively.

1 BOK Financial maintains control over the securities underlying overnight repurchase agreements and generally transfers control over securities 

underlying longer-term dealer repurchase agreements to the respective counterparty.

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank are used for
funding purposes. In accordance with policies of the Federal
Home Loan Bank, BOK Financial has granted a blanket pledge of
eligible assets (generally unencumbered U.S. Treasury and mort-
gage-backed securities, 1-4 family loans and multifamily loans) as
collateral for these advances. The unused credit available to BOK
Financial at December 31, 2004 pursuant to the Federal Home
Loan Bank’s collateral policies is $434 million.

BOK Financial has a revolving, unsecured credit agreement
from certain banks at December 31, 2004 of $125 million. Interest
is based upon either a base rate or LIBOR plus a defined margin
that is determined by BOK Financial’s credit rating. This margin
ranges from 0.625% to 1.25%. The base rate is defined as the
greater of the daily federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate.
Interest is generally paid monthly. Facility fees are paid quarterly
on the unused portion of the commitment at a rate of 0.20% to
0.25% as determined by BOK Financial’s current debt rating. This
credit agreement includes certain restrictive covenants that limit
BOK Financial’s ability to borrow additional funds and to pay cash
dividends on common stock. These covenants also require BOK
Financial and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital levels
and to exceed minimum net worth ratios. BOK Financial met all of
the restrictive covenants at December 31, 2004.

In 1997, BOk issued a $150 million 7.125% fixed rate subordi-
nated debenture that matures in 2007. Interest rate swaps were
used as a fair value hedge to convert the fixed interest on the
debenture to a LIBOR-based floating rate. This required BOk to
adjust the carrying value of the subordinated debenture to fair
value. In 2001, those interest rate swaps were terminated. The
related market value adjustment of the subordinated debenture of
$8 million is being recognized over the remaining life of the debt.
Amortization of this adjustment reduces the cost of the debt by
102 basis points.

During 2004, a $150 million notional amount interest rate
swap was designated as a hedge of changes in fair value of the sub-
ordinated debt due to changes in interest rates. The Company
receives a fixed rate of 3.165% and pays a variable rate based on 1-
month LIBOR,  or  2.40%  at  December  31,  2004. Semi-annual
swap settlements coincide with interest payments on the subordi-
nated debenture. The interest rate swap terminates on August 15,
2007, the maturity date of the subordinated debenture.

Assets of the Pension Plan consist primarily of shares in the
American Performance Balanced Fund. The stated objective of
this fund is to provide an attractive total return through a broadly
diversified mix of equities and bonds. The typical portfolio mix is
approximately 60% equities and 40% bonds. The life-to-date
return on the fund, which is used as an indicator when setting the
expected return on plan assets, was 8.62%. The maximum and
minimum required Pension Plan contributions for 2004 were
$2.2 million and $0, respectively. Amounts contributed to the
Pension Plan during 2004 included $1.0 million attributable to
the current year and $7.7 million attributable to 2003.

Employee contributions to the Thrift Plans are matched by
BOK Financial up to 5% of base compensation, based upon years
of service. Participants may direct the investments of their
accounts in a variety of options, including BOK Financial Common
Stock. Employer contributions vest over five years. Expenses
incurred by BOK Financial for the Thrift Plans totaled $3.9 mil-
lion, $3.6 million and $3.1 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

BOK Financial also sponsors a defined benefit post-retirement
employee medical plan, which pays 50 percent of annual medical
insurance premiums for retirees who meet certain age and service
requirements. Assets of the retiree medical plan consist primarily
of shares in a cash management fund. Eligibility for the post-
retirement plan is limited to current retirees and certain employ-
ees who were age 60 or older at the time the plan was frozen in
1993. The net obligation recognized under the plan was $2.2 mil-
lion at December 31, 2004. A 1% change in medical expense
trends would not significantly affect the net obligation or cost of
this plan.

Under various performance incentive plans, participating
employees may be granted awards based on defined formulas or
other criteria. Earnings were charged $58.1 million in 2004, $52.0
million in 2003 and $32.1 million in 2002 for such awards.
(13) STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The shareholders and Board of Directors of BOK Financial
have approved various stock-based compensation plans. The
number of awards and the employees to receive awards are
determined for the Chief Executive Officer and other senior
executives by an independent compensation committee of the
Board of Directors. Other stock-based compensation awards are
approved by the independent compensation committee upon rec-
ommendation of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief
Executive Officer.

These awards consist primarily of stock options that are subject
to vesting requirements. Generally, one-seventh of the options
awarded vest annually and expire three years after vesting.
Additionally, stock options that vest in two years and expire 45
days after vesting have been awarded.

The

following table presents options outstanding during

2002, 2003 and 2004 under these plans:

Compensation expense for stock options is generally recog-
nized based on the fair value of options granted over the options’
vesting period. No compensation expense is recognized for
options that are forfeited before vesting. The fair value of options
was determined as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:

BOK Financial permits certain executive officers to defer
recognition of taxable income from their stock-based compensa-
tion. These officers are also able to diversify their deferred com-
pensation into investments other than BOK Financial common
stock.

This stock-based compensation is recognized as liability
awards rather than equity awards. Compensation expense is based
on the intrinsic value of the award over the vesting period.
Additional compensation expense is recognized based on changes
in the fair value of the deferred compensation liability after the
vesting period. The total deferred compensation liability attrib-
uted to these arrangements was $16.5 million for 2004 and $6.8
million for 2003.

BOK Financial also may issue nonvested common shares under
the various stock-based compensation plans. These shares, which
generally are issued only to the Chief Executive Officer and select-
ed senior executives, vest five years after the grant date. The hold-
ers of these shares may be required to retain the shares for a
three-year period after vesting. At December 31, 2004, a total of
44,738 nonvested common shares have been awarded, including
24,800 awarded in 2004.

(15) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT

LIABILITIES

In the ordinary course of business, BOK Financial and its sub-
sidiaries 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 is obligated under a long-term lease for its bank premis-
es located in downtown Tulsa. The lease term, which began
November 1, 1976, is for fifty-seven years with options to
terminate in 2014 and 2024. Annual base rent is $3.3 million. BOk
subleases portions of its space for annual rents of $370 thousand
in 2005  and $213 thousand in years 2006 through 2009. Net
rent expense on this lease was $2.9 million in years 2004,
2003 and 2002. Total rent expense for BOK Financial was $14.3
million in 2004, $13.0 million in 2003 and $12.4 million in 2002.

At  December 31, 2004, future minimum lease payments for
equipment and premises under operating leases were as follows:
$13.6 million in 2005, $13.0 million in 2006, $11.6 million in
2007, $10.7 million in 2008, $9.6 million in 2009, and a total of
$36.3 million thereafter.

BOk and Williams Companies, Inc. severally guaranteed 30
percent and 70 percent, respectively, of the $13 million debt and
operating deficit of two parking facilities operated by the Tulsa
Parking Authority. The debt had a maturity date of May 15, 2007.
In 2003, BOk funded the remaining amount of this commitment
and paid $2.9 million to retire the Company’s obligation with
respect to this debt. There were no expenditures related to this
guarantee in 2004. Expenditures totaled $3.2 million in 2003 and
$373 thousand in 2002.

The Federal Reserve Bank requires member banks to maintain
certain minimum average cash balances. These balances were
approximately $334 million and $303 million at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively.

BOSC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOK Financial, is an
introducing broker to Pershing, LLC for retail equity investment
transactions. As such, it has indemnified Pershing, LLC against
losses due to a customer’s failure to settle a transaction or to repay
a margin loan. All unsettled transactions and margin loans are
secured as required by applicable regulation. The amount of cus-
tomer balances subject to indemnification totaled $2.9 million at
December 31, 2004.

BOK Private Equity, LLC, indirectly a wholly-owned subsidiary
of BOK Financial, is the general partner in BOK Private Equity
Fund, LP (“the Fund”). The Fund provides alternative invest-
ment opportunities to certain customers, some of which are
related parties, through limited partnerships. The Fund gener-
ally invests in distressed assets, asset buy-out or venture capital
limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The general
partner has contingent obligations through the Fund to  make
additional investments totaling $13.9 million as of December 31,
2004.

(16) SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

One billion shares of preferred stock with a par value of
$0.00005 per share are authorized. A single series of 249,974,544
shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred
Stock”) is currently issued and outstanding. The Series A
Preferred Stock has no voting rights except as otherwise provided
by Oklahoma corporate law and may be converted into one share
of Common Stock for each 36 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at
the option of the holder. Dividends are cumulative at an annual
rate of ten percent of the $0.06 per share liquidation preference
value when declared and are payable in cash. Aggregate liquidation
preference is $15 million. In 2004 and 2003, cash dividends
declared on preferred stock totaled $1.9 million and $750 thou-
sand, respectively. During 2003 and 2002, 23,214 shares and
47,961 shares, respectively, of BOK Financial common stock were
issued in payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in
lieu of cash by mutual agreement of BOK Financial and the hold-
ers of the Series A Preferred Stock. These shares were valued at
$750,000 in 2003 and $1.5 million in 2002, based on average
market price, as defined, for a 65 business day period preceding
declaration. George B. Kaiser owns substantially all Series A
Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

Common stock consists of 2.5 billion authorized shares with a
$0.00006 par value. Holders of common shares are entitled to
one vote per share at the election of the Board of Directors and on
any question arising at any shareholders’ meeting and to receive
dividends when and as declared. No common stock dividends can
be paid unless all accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock have been paid. Additionally, regulations restrict the ability
of national banks and bank holding companies to pay dividends,
and BOK Financial’s credit agreement restricts the payment of
dividends by the holding company.

During 2004, 2003 and 2002, 3% dividends payable in shares
of BOK Financial common stock were declared and paid. The
shares issued were valued at $66 million, $58 million and $52
million, respectively, based on the average closing bid/ask prices
on the day preceding declaration. Per share data has been restated
to reflect these stock dividends.

On October 25, 2002, BOK Financial issued 1,711,127 shares of
common stock and 292,225 options to purchase shares, with a fair

value at the issuance date of $65 million for its purchase of Bank
of Tanglewood. In addition, BOK Financial agreed to a limited
price guarantee on a portion of the shares issued in this purchase.
The fair value of this price guarantee, estimated to be $3 million
based upon the Black-Scholes Option pricing model, was includ-
ed in the purchase price of Bank of Tanglewood (see Note 2).
Pursuant to this guarantee, any holder of BOK Financial common
shares issued in this acquisition may annually make a claim for the
excess of the guaranteed price and the actual sales price of any
shares sold during a 60-day period after each of the first five
anniversary dates after October 25, 2002. The maximum annual
number of shares subject to this guarantee is 210,069. The guar-
anteed price for each anniversary period is $37.67 for 2005,
$40.10 for 2006 and $42.53 for 2007. The price guarantee is non-
transferable and noncumulative. BOK Financial may elect, in its
sole discretion, to issue additional shares of common stock to sat-
isfy any obligation under the price guarantee or to pay cash. The
maximum aggregate number of common shares that may be
issued to satisfy any price guarantee obligations is 10 million. If, as
of any benchmark date, BOK Financial has already issued 10 mil-
lion shares, BOK Financial is not obligated to make any further
benchmark payments. BOK Financial’s ability to pay cash to satis-
fy any price guarantee obligations is limited by applicable bank
holding company and bank capital and dividend regulations.

Subsidiary Banks 

The amounts of dividends that BOK Financial’s subsidiary
banks can declare and the amounts of loans the subsidiary banks
can extend to affiliates are limited by various federal banking reg-
ulations  and  state  corporate  law. Generally, dividends declared
during a calendar year are limited to net profits, as defined, for the
year plus retained profits for the preceding two years. The
amounts of dividends are further restricted by minimum capital
requirements. Pursuant to the most restrictive of the regulations
at December 31, 2004, BOK Financial’s subsidiary banks could
declare dividends up to $161 million without prior regulatory
approval. Management has developed and the Board of Directors
has approved an internal capital policy that is more restrictive
than the regulatory capital standards. As of December 31, 2004,
the subsidiary banks could declare dividends of up to $98 million
under this policy. During 2004, the subsidiary banks did not
declare any dividends. The subsidiary banks declared and paid
dividends of $66 million in 2003 and $40 million in 2002.

73

Loans to a single affiliate may not exceed 10% and loans to all
affiliates may not exceed 20% of unimpaired capital and surplus,
as defined. Additionally, loans to affiliates must be fully secured.
As of December 31, 2004, these loans had no outstanding balance.
As of December 31, 2003, these loans totaled $10 million. Total
loan commitments to affiliates at December 31, 2004 were $108
million.

Regulatory Capital 

BOK Financial and its banking subsidiaries are subject to vari-
ous capital requirements administered by the federal banking
agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can ini-
tiate certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by
regulators that could have a material effect on BOK Financial’s
operations. These capital requirements include quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items.
The capital standards are also subject to qualitative judgments by

the regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors.

For a banking institution to qualify as well capitalized, its Tier
I, Total and Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6%, 10% and
5%, respectively. Tier I capital consists primarily of common
stockholders’ equity, excluding unrealized gains or losses on avail-
able for sale securities, less goodwill, core deposit premiums and
certain other intangible assets. As directed by the Federal Reserve
Bank, Tier I capital excludes $23 million, the combined value of
common shares issued subject to the market value protection pro-
gram and the value of the market value guarantee. These values
will be restored to Tier I capital as the market price guarantee
expires. Total capital consists primarily of Tier I capital plus pre-
ferred stock, subordinated debt and reserves for credit losses sub-
ject to certain limitations. All of BOK Financial’s banking sub-
sidiaries exceeded the regulatory definition of well capitalized.

(18) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

BOK Financial operates five principal lines of business:
Oklahoma corporate banking, Oklahoma consumer banking,
mortgage banking, wealth management, and regional banking.
Mortgage banking activities include loan origination and servicing
across all markets served by the Company. Wealth management
provides brokerage and trading, private financial services and
investment advisory services in all markets. It also provides fidu-
ciary services in all markets except Colorado. Fiduciary services in
Colorado are included in regional banks. Regional banking con-
sists primarily of corporate and consumer banking activities in
the respective local markets. These five principal lines of business
combined account for approximately 94% of total revenue. In
addition to its lines of business, BOK Financial has a funds man-

agement unit. The primary purpose of this unit is to manage the
overall liquidity needs and interest rate risk of the company. Each
line of business borrows funds from and provides funds to the
funds management unit as needed to support their operations.

The Oklahoma Corporate Banking segment provides loan and
lease financing and treasury and cash management services to
businesses throughout Oklahoma and certain relationships in
surrounding states. Oklahoma Corporate Banking also includes
our TransFund unit, which provides ATM and merchant deposit
services. The Oklahoma  Consumer Banking segment provides a
full line of deposit, loan and fee-based services to customers
throughout Oklahoma through four major distribution channels:
traditional branches, supermarket branches,
the 24-hour
ExpressBank call center and Online Banking. The Mortgage
Banking segment consists of two operating sectors that originate a

75

full range of mortgage products from federally sponsored pro-
grams to “jumbo loans” on higher priced homes in BOK
Financial’s primary market areas. The Mortgage Banking segment
also services mortgage loans acquired from throughout the United
States. The Wealth Management segment provides a wide range of
financial services, including trust and private financial services
and brokerage and trading services. This segment includes the
activities of BOSC, Inc., a registered broker/dealer. Trust and pri-
vate financial services include sales of institutional, investment
and retirement products, loans and other services to affluent indi-
viduals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and govern-
mental agencies. Trust services are primarily provided to clients in
Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico. Regional banking
includes Bank of Texas, Bank of Albuquerque, Bank of Arkansas,
and Colorado State Bank and Trust. Each of these banks provides
a full range of corporate and consumer banking services in their
respective markets. Trust Services provided through Colorado
State Bank and Trust are included in the Regional Banking seg-
ment.

BOK Financial identifies reportable segments by type of serv-
ice provided for the Mortgage Banking and the Wealth
Management segments and by type of customer for the Oklahoma
Corporate Banking and Consumer Banking segments. Regional
Banking is identified by legal entity. Operating results are adjust-
ed for intercompany loan participations and allocated service costs
and management fees.

BOK Financial allocates resources and evaluates performance
of its lines of business after allocation of funds, certain indirect
expenses, taxes and capital costs. The cost of funds borrowed from
the funds management unit by the operating lines of business is
transfer priced at rates that approximate market for funds with
similar duration. Market rates are generally based on the applica-

ble LIBOR or interest rate swap rates, adjusted for prepayment
risk. This method of transfer pricing funds that support assets of
the operating lines of business tends to insulate them from inter-
est rate risk.

The value of funds provided by the operating lines of business
to the funds management unit is based on applicable Federal
Home Loan Bank advance rates. Deposit accounts with indetermi-
nate maturities, such as demand deposit accounts and interest-
bearing transaction accounts, are transfer priced at a rolling aver-
age based on expected duration of the accounts. The expected
duration ranges from 90 days for certain rate-sensitive deposits to
five years. The accounting policies of the reportable segments
generally follow those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies, except that interest income is reported on a
fully tax-equivalent basis, loan losses are based on actual net
amounts charged off and the amortization of intangible assets is
generally excluded.

Economic capital is assigned to the business units based on an
allocation method that reflects management’s assessment of risk.
Management uses a third-party developed capital allocation
model. This model assigns capital based upon credit, operating,
interest rate and market risk inherent in the business lines and
recognizes the diversification benefits among the units. The level
of assigned economic capital is a combination of the risk taken by
each business line, based on its actual exposures and calibrated to
its own loss history where possible. Additional capital is assigned
to the regional banking line of business based on BOK
Financial’s investment in those entities.

Substantially all revenue is from domestic customers. No sin-
gle external customer accounts for more than 10% of total
revenue.

The fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale are
based upon quoted market prices of such loans sold in securitiza-
tion transactions, including related unfunded loan commitments
and hedging transactions.

DDeeppoossiittss

The fair values of time deposits are based on discounted cash
flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered on simi-
lar transactions. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,”
(“FAS 107”) defines the estimated fair value of deposits with no
stated maturity, which includes demand deposits, transaction
deposits, money market deposits and savings accounts, to equal
the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid
reflect an additional value for these low cost deposits, FAS 107
prohibits adjusting fair value for the expected benefit of these
deposits. Accordingly, the positive effect of such deposits is not
included in this table.

OOtthheerr BBoorrrroowwiinnggss aanndd SSuubboorrddiinnaatteedd DDeebbeennttuurree

The fair values of these instruments are based upon discount-
ed cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered
on similar instruments.

OOffff--BBaallaannccee SShheeeett IInnssttrruummeennttss

The fair values of commercial loan commitments are based on
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking
into account the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair val-
ues of these off-balance sheet instruments were not significant at
December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The preceding table presents the estimated fair values of
financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instru-
ments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which
involved significant judgments by management. Fair value is the
estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other
than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for
certain of these financial instruments and management does not
intend to sell these financial instruments, BOK Financial does not
know whether the fair values shown above represent values at
which the respective financial instruments could be sold individ-
ually or in the aggregate.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimat-

ing the fair value of these financial instruments:

CCaasshh aanndd CCaasshh EEqquuiivvaalleennttss

The book value reported in the consolidated balance sheet for
cash and short-term instruments approximates those assets’ fair
values.

SSeeccuurriittiieess

The fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices
or dealer quotes, when available. If quotes are not available, fair
values are based on quoted prices of comparable instruments.

DDeerriivvaattiivveess

All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet
at fair value. Fair values for exchange-traded contracts are based
on quoted prices. Fair values for over-the-counter interest rate,
commodity and foreign exchange contracts are based on valua-
tions provided either by third-party dealers in the contracts,
quotes provided by independent pricing services, or a third-party
provided pricing model.

LLooaannss

The fair value of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are based
on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently
being offered for loans with similar remaining terms to maturity
and credit risk, adjusted for the impact of interest rate floors and
ceilings. The fair values of classified loans were estimated to
approximate their carrying values less loan loss reserves allocated
to these loans of $28 million and $30 million at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively.
